honor me as god

Chapter 621
Lorna's sarcasm made the Far East envoy show an angry face. He exuded a strong sense of oppression and scolded: "This is a humiliation to our court! Every word you say, I will truthfully convey it to the emperor!"

Lorna was very stubborn, and directly pushed back: "You pass it on. If you miss a word, you are a puppy."

"Lorna." Just when the atmosphere was getting heated, Perseus interrupted the two of them. He had no expression on his face, making it impossible to see what was going on in his heart. He just waved to Lorna, indicating that she could step back. came back.

Lorna glanced coldly at the Far East Envoy, then retreated to her original position with a face full of indifference, while Sting kept sighing secretly.

Perseus asked lightly, "Have you finished?"

The Far East envoy raised his head and replied, "It's over."

Perseus made a gesture of invitation, and his tone was very calm: "Arrange room and board for Mr. Messenger, and entertain him well."

Before being taken away by the imperial guards, the envoy from the Far East asked, "Your Majesty, when will you give me an answer?"

Perseus: "After I decide, you will know."

"Okay, take care, Your Majesty." The Far East envoy made a diplomatic salute to Perseus, strode away, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, all thinking about Perseus' thoughts.

Sting was holding Lorna's arm there, and kept yelling in a low voice, while Lorna had a hard-headed look, and all the yelling went in from one ear to the other, and she had no regrets about what she just said.

Perseus didn't praise Lorna's speech just now, nor did he criticize it harshly, as if nothing happened, making it unclear what his attitude towards this matter was.

Perseus stood up from the king's throne, glanced at the faces of the ministers, and said slowly: "Members of the Imperial Council, come to Conference Room [-], the three princes and princesses are listening."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help muttering. The "Imperial Council" is the highest-level decision-making meeting in Dogrand. Unlike the "Royal Council" with a large number of members, the number of members of the "Royal Council" is very small, led by the king himself, and the rest of the members are from the royal family. Blood relatives can only be royal blood relatives, even princes with different surnames like Lorna are not allowed to attend the meeting.

This provision is to lock the final decision-making power firmly in the hands of the royal family to ensure the absolute authority of the ruler.

The form of the imperial meeting is also different from other meetings. The imperial meeting can make a proposal and decision on a certain matter alone, and it can also conduct a leapfrog review of the proposals of other meetings at all levels, which symbolizes the supreme power of Dougland.

Attending the imperial meeting is actually to give the king's heirs a chance to familiarize themselves with government affairs, and let them know how a proposal that affects the situation in the kingdom goes from proposing a concept to making a draft, voting, and finally being rejected or finalized for implementation.

In the past, it was not uncommon for the heirs of the king to attend the imperial meeting. The second prince, Andre, often attended the meeting. Bolton was less often because he was away from battle all the year round.

For Solandelle, this is the first time.

What puzzled everyone was that Solandelle was so young, she was only 14 years old after the new year, and she was not yet an adult. How could she be appointed by Perseus to attend the imperial meeting so early?

Like Andre, he attended the imperial meeting for the first time at the age of 24, and Solandelle was 10 years earlier than him.

Perseus asked such a young daughter to listen in, and he didn't know what kind of political signal was hidden in it.
Solandelle herself was also a little confused, but after being baptized at the "56th Kingdom Plenary Meeting" last year, she was not nervous, stood up obediently, and followed Perseus' footsteps.

The councilors of this royal council are King Perseus himself, plus eight royal princes. They sat around a round table in the No. [-] conference room, and Andre, Bolton, and Solandelle sat in the corner. Sit down in the listening position.

Andre moved to Solandelle and said softly to her: "Ninth Sister, it's your first time to observe the imperial meeting, you must remember it! We are observers, we just need to listen, don't make noise, let alone casually Express your opinion—you can only answer if your father asks you personally. If you speak indiscriminately, you will leave a bad impression on others, understand?"

Solandelle nodded slightly.

After all the councilors arrived, Perseus got straight to the point: "What do you think about what happened in Twilight City and the four requests made by the Far East envoy?"

"Minister of Finance" Bao Erdian coughed lightly, looked sideways at the three princes and princesses who were listening, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, I think the other three points are easy to talk about. About sending a prince and princess to Gyeonggi as a proton, This cannot be easily agreed, the three His Highnesses are the pillars of the kingdom, and they cannot be sacrificed."

Another prince raised concerns: "However, the Far East envoy just said that none of the four conditions can be dispensed with."

Bao Erdian smiled: "That's just superficial rhetoric. The reason why conditions are conditions is that they can be negotiated, so they are called conditions, and those that cannot be negotiated are called 'orders'. If we can make some With regard to the matter of protons, I believe the Far East will also make concessions."

Bolton suddenly snorted coldly: "What do you mean? Are you acquiescing to accept the other three conditions? Don't those conditions sound absurd? A person from the Far East humiliated our compatriots on our land and finally suffered retribution Dead, but we want to pay compensation? What is the reason for this?"

Bao Erdian said in a soothing tone: "His Royal Highness, please calm down. If it was just an ordinary Far Easterner, of course it would not cause such a big incident, but the person who died now is the grandson of the Far Eastern Emperor Ye Lingchen. This is already an extremely serious diplomatic accident." gone."

Bolton's expression was very dissatisfied: "What kind of diplomatic accident! This incident was clearly provoked by that surnamed Ye, and he deserved it! Now Far East is putting on a look of provoking a teacher, who is it for?"

"I think what Lorna just said is quite right, asking us to agree to the terms? Bah, it's not bad to ask them to agree without the terms. The Prince of the Far East has no way to teach his son by himself, so he has the nerve to rely on us. If we really fight, whoever is afraid of whom."

Perseus frowned and reprimanded: "I didn't ask you to talk, sit and listen carefully."

Bolton rolled his eyes and said nothing.

Bao Erdian pondered for a moment, and said: "Now the Far East has mobilized millions of troops, and the front of the soldiers has already burned to the desert. This is not a bluff, but a real sword and gun to call for punishment."

"If we fight, we will not be able to explain to the people here, because it is true that we killed the emperor's grandson first, and we cannot stand morally."

"Secondly, the kingdom's treasury has been empty in recent years, and this year it has experienced the "Danyu City Incident". So many strategic reserves have been transferred out. Now is the time to recuperate. If such a big war is suddenly fought, I am afraid it will be bad for the country's fortune. . "

Hearing this, Solandelle clenched her lower lip unconsciously, raised her fists, and looked at Bao Erdian angrily, like a volcano that might erupt at any time.
