Preparation for the 138th chapter

"Her name seems to be Rotia." Someone replied.

"Whose daughter is it?" the Prime Minister asked with a frown, "or whose wife is it?"

"It seems..." Several ministers exchanged glances with each other, and finally one of them spoke. "She is also a civilian, without any title, title or title."

"Then why can she be with Her Majesty the Queen?"

"We don't know that she was introduced by Lord Asu Ruffat. All we can know is that she is a native of Eagle Falcon City. With Lord Asu Ruffat's introduction, she is temporarily the queen's... tutor."

"Absurd!" Marquis Alinn made a hateful voice. "How could that boy..."

"After all, he is a newly enfeoffed nobleman." Someone sighed. "As a nouveau riche, it is easy to understand how this kind of thing is done."

"Hmph, no wonder Her Majesty the Queen removes him from the position of Chancellor of the Finance Department."

"But because of his previous loyalty in the rebellion, he still has a great influence on Her Majesty the Queen." Someone said. "And I'm worried that maybe he has not fallen out of favor. And, that Ashu Rufate..."

"What?" asked Alinn.

"He is a... fearful person." The person who spoke showed a look of lingering fear. "He gives people the feeling that... is not very similar to ordinary humans, but rather... more like... well, I can't describe it, but he always gives me the feeling that he is not a human. And the middle class below is also very afraid of him... because of that thing."

"It's the rumor that I haven't been sleeping for a month?" Ellen naturally scoffed at such a ridiculous remark. "I'm afraid it was a scene designed by our Earl of Ashu Rufat. It's probably like a street juggler, it's just a performance, and it can't be taken seriously."

"No matter what," said Prime Minister Alinen. "At present, I can only aggrieved my colleagues for patience. Your Majesty should have considered this matter as a transition period... Although I don't know why..."

"Is it related to debts? According to rumors from all over the country, it seems that we owe... a very large amount of debts. Now, except for the Queen and Eusu Rufat, no one knows how much money the treasury still has."

"...This should not be the key. After the Queen goes to war... As the Prime Minister, I will definitely know the details of this..."

"Huh...Huh... Lord Elin, the Queen is going to war? Is this true? I thought it was a rumor..." A man interrupted Prime Minister Elin in surprise.

"Of course it's true. The last time Her Majesty mentioned this to me personally. She will lead the army to fight in person! But the specific time...well, although she didn't explain it, I guess it should be within one or two months."

"It's really incredible..." someone said softly.

...

"I don't know if...appointing Alinn as Prime Minister is the right choice." The little girl looked at the Marquis Alinn's departure back and replied thoughtfully.

"Well, in my opinion, it's the right choice." Rotia said with a smile.

"Ah, is that true?"

"Well, it should be like that. Because our Prime Minister has entered the state as fast as possible." Rotia replied. "Well, he has only been here... two or three days, right? But now he has been recognized by many ministers and has become the real Prime Minister and the leader of all ministers. This matter just now... Well, I think the Prime Minister who just arrived in the royal city shouldn't have news channels to know about this kind of thing, but he knew it. So someone must have officially informed him of this matter. It was a very formal notification, so he would come to His Majesty to confirm it as soon as possible."

"This... I remember you said, this is a kind of use. Use others to do things they want to do but cannot or dare not do. It should be those who want to get the position of Chancellor of the Chancellor."

"Although there are also elements of exploitation, they can be used, recognized as 'one' at the first time, and can stand up voluntarily. These actions themselves show that our Prime Minister is what everyone wants. Moreover," Rotia gently tapped the little girl with her hand. "It must be remembered that there is not only one person who hopes to get the position of Minister of Finance, but many. At present, no one can think that Shirley can become the Minister of Finance by himself. So those who inform the Prime Minister of this matter are not about becoming the Minister of Finance, but about seeking credit or reward from the Prime Minister, or showing goodwill."

"Ah, so that's what it is..."

"So, you must look at the essence of things. Don't make mistakes." Rotia said with a smile. "Speaking of it, do you know, Ash Rufate's four fiancées... are all like Shirley. Ah, that Fana is an exception, but it's not too outrageous."

"What...what? You mean, Ashu Rufate...really..."

"He likes girls who look very young... like small breasts." Rotia said seriously. The little girl suddenly remembered the previous remarks of Rotia and Shirley, and she couldn't help but blush and her heart beat, and she couldn't help but lower her head. "As far as men are concerned, their hobbies are a bit special. But this is not rare. So look, when he looks at me, it's never fake. Speaking of it..." She sighed, "It's disappointing me."

"Ro...Rotyya, do you like Asu Ruffat too?" the little girl asked in surprise.

"Why don't you like it? If a good man is liked by any woman. Think about it, our Mr. Ashurufat is a perfect man. Do you think he has shortcomings?" Rotia pointed at the fingers. "I'm not old, good-looking, full of energy; I can read literacy through texts and speak appropriately; in addition, I have a wealthy and extraordinary courage; in the end, and most importantly, he is a considerate man."

Rotia looked at the little girl with a smile. Her expression seemed to be a little ambiguous, which made the little girl lower her head again.

"However, I have stopped missing this miss. A man like him who is so arrogant and arrogant should not look down on me." Rotia suddenly sighed. "And the famous flower has a master... I also have a bit of my own pride. Although it may be a bit ridiculous, I may be able to accept other women, but I will never allow myself to be a side room."

She tapped the table with her hand. "This is what is called 'destined but not parted'."

"By the way," Rotia suddenly said to the little girl. "Do you want to learn the secret to seducing men?"

"Ah...ah...can this...can this... be able to learn?"

"I am your tutor. As long as you want to learn, you can certainly teach you anything I know." Rotia said. "Don't forget... Soon, you will have the opportunity to get along with him..."

"Ah, does this... mean war?"

"That's right. Didn't Ashu Rufat say that this time, you can't bring any servants and maids, and you must be like an ordinary soldier regardless of food and accommodation... In other words, he will take care of you by himself." Rotia said with a smile.

"This..." Rotia's words made the little girl feel like a little deer. She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she immediately changed the topic. "So, what news do you say we are going to attack...will Byron know?"

...

"Sure enough... is that little girl important to do something?" Byron put down his letter and rubbed his forehead with his hands.

"Well, Lord Duke, I'm afraid this matter will not be false. Or so, the time is indeed almost done." The subordinate who sent the letter replied respectfully.

"Well, probably when will it be? This is not mentioned in the intelligence."

"The financial situation of the little queen... should not be very good." The subordinates tried to pick up what the Duke loved to hear. Although most half a year has passed, the fiscal crisis and the collapse of their expected rule have not happened at all. "According to what we have learned, she must take the risk of winning, otherwise her debts... will not be fulfilled. If we estimate from the perspective of her debt repayment in the next few months... she will send troops within two months, fight us within three months, and must win."

"That's why she's coming to attack us now." Byron nodded. "The skills are so exhausted, I can only take a gamble." He smiled. Finally, before his patience was exhausted, it was all over.

"What about the troops she can dispatch?"

"There are only the Guards, and a small number of garrison troops in several cities... But considering the situation of Eagle Falcon City itself... the maximum force should not exceed 30,000."

"How many troops do we have?" Byron turned to look at another subordinate. Although he was wearing casual clothes, just from the expression and temperament shown by this person, you can tell that this is a soldier.

"Dude, your troops are 37,000 directly under you. If you can mobilize the troops of other lords... plus the mercenaries... remove the necessary rear guard forces... there can be 60,000 troops for you to drive."

"Sixty thousand, two to one..."

"In addition, as long as we take the defensive position," the subordinate introduced. "We have two solid castles on the border. We just need to rely on the castles to form a formation that echoes each other... we will be invincible."

Byron nodded. He had no military experience, but he also understood how great the advantages these two front-line castles would bring to him.

"Very good, then strengthen the castle's defensive forces immediately." Byron said. "At the same time, we will gather all the lords and bring all their troops here. Well, we can tell them directly and bring their families to Fornoros. Let them not worry about the territory itself. As long as we win, the territory will naturally be brought back. If it fails...if even I fail, can they still defend their territory?"
