Vol 2 Chapter 1254: Tangle and choice

"His Royal Highness, do you...do you want to eat more?" The maid who was in charge of taking care of the queen's daily life asked with some anxiety looking at the most of the food left on the plate in front of Kolotia's eyes.
"No... eating too much may cause some unnecessary trouble..." Kolotia understood the worry in the maid's eyes, but she was no longer the little girl who was too nervous to eat when something big happened. . She chose this way because of her own experience summed up over the years.
Talking with representatives of the imperial government, there is really no need to be too nervous about this kind of thing. After all, no members of the mission will be elected with more radical political opinions, and as a prince, there is no need to lower their status for these people. Just put on a calm and indifferent look of course, walk in calmly and sit still, that's enough.
"His Royal Highness, they have arrived." Another maid walked into the dining room, followed by an imperial clerk in a gray dress. Seeing his familiar outfit, Kolotia couldn't help but smile inwardly after her mind drifted away--also, how could he come. He is the prime minister's confidant.
"I see... you lead the way." Set her mind, Kolotia stood up lightly by the side of the gorgeous chair.

"—So, Your Majesty. Do you have anything to say about this?" And when Queen Kolotia, as the representative of the royal family, exchanged views with the core members of the imperial mission on some key issues, the country truly But the person in power is located in the roof courtyard with a beautiful view. The same middle-aged man who should have been too busy to play the role of the pillar in the country drank black tea and talked. Of course, it will not be a homely topic of food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc., but a choice that slightly entangles the queen—selling an important person from the faction that may master the center of the empire in the future is a great favor, but this Doing so will lose a very talented talent in guiding mechanics that may be of great value in the future. According to the evaluation of Dr. Russell, one of the "Three High Brothers," she might even be the most talented person in her generation.
Regarding this issue, the queen herself has not never thought about it, but she has come to the conclusion that whether she agrees or not, there is bound to be a big loss estimate, so she can just ignore it and put it aside. But now it seems that it's useless to pretend to be invisible-besides, this problem comes earlier than imagined.
As a small head of state in the gap between the two big countries, who regards diplomacy, or both sides, as the country's top priority, how can this queen fail to perceive the deep meaning behind the many movements of the two neighboring countries? In her prediction, the answer is self-evident what it means to be such a young man who has such high hopes from Ukent III. In this respect, if we can have a good relationship with him, then the pressure on the kingdom will be much less; in addition, he and his granddaughter and heir to the throne are still young and have a certain foundation of friendship. This wealth is also For the following decades, Fuze...From the perspective of layout, the vision is not long-term. However, Libel’s other major advantage, the innovation of guiding technology, is also the key to his country’s ability to be independent despite its small size; although in the long run, the two major countries, the Empire and the Republic, spend more money on scientific research. The more they come, the day when their technological level will surpass Libel, but will this move greatly speed up this process?
Will his actions create a more relaxed, more capable diplomatic environment for his granddaughter, or will he ruin the trump card that Liber relies on faster? To be honest, she has always been very tangled and cautious in the face of such problems. Cassius also knew the queen's temperament well, so he had made up his mind before coming. What's more, something that happened last night made him more determined.
"Maybe, Cassius, you are more optimistic about the future of that child than I... To be honest, when he first sneaked into this royal city to find me three years ago, I didn't expect him to be like this one day in the future. Important." The queen sighed heavily, shook half a cup of black tea left, and watched the beautiful ruby-colored jade liquid reflect the dazzling light under the sun, "Just, I don’t know what you said. That day... How long will it be until he and Olibat can truly control the power center of the empire."
"Prime Minister Osborne...I have lowered my evaluation of this man after listening to those words before." Cassius stroked his neatly trimmed goatee. "It looks like now. , His plan is not for some more long-term, sustainable goals...but has a strong tendency to self-destruct. Before this, the emperor Ukent probably did it for something extraordinary, and "the treasure." Related goals had to make dangerous moves, but his attitude towards Heliga has proved the possibility of betting on both ends... and his balance is increasing towards this side more and more. "
"I know...that's why I'm more worried about whether time is enough." The queen nodded, "And, who knows how Prime Minister Osborne will react? He came to me to talk to me without the sudden visit a few years in advance." The aftermath of the "Hundred Days Campaign" really surprised me..."
"This is the special place of Heliga... He and his power have changed the rules of many political games in this world." Cassius let out a sharp laugh mixed with emotion and admiration, "He has The ability to predict danger, something better than the "eye of sight" of "Hachiba Yidao Style" affects him; his power is bottomless, and even masters who have mastered the "reason" take him nothing. Way; he also has countless odd door dungeons, as well as tricks that ordinary people would never think of, such as using potions to rescue people who are dying, using magic to completely block news, completely eliminating traces of people, and setting up in a country Hundreds of teleportation points where you can travel at will...No one can assassinate him with conspiracy, poison him with poison, kill him on the battlefield; and now, the emperor Yukent has shown such obvious trust in him... …Even in the case of reliance, in a country like Ereponia, even threats to him in terms of rumors and reputation might not be very useful. "
"..." The queen narrowed her eyes and began to think about what Cassius said.
"Therefore... My conclusion is that if you can make him owe favors, then the price will be higher and the risks will be higher. It is not unacceptable. What's more, Ling's existence is actually not risk-free..." Cassius put another piece of secret information that Aran Richard had previously submitted to him and put it in front of the queen.
