Chapter 20 The Four Nations Parliament Convened on Time

A few days later, Hillman's illness gradually recovered, and the snow covering the streets began to melt gradually. The deep winter passed and spring came.

Fortunately, in the days that followed, Hillman did not ask Chu to tell a story, otherwise, Chu would really be unable to tell anything. You must know that in her bloody memory, you must find a clean story. How difficult the story is.

This deep winter is like a short rest, paving the way for a period of buffering time for the turmoil in the mainland. What it represents is not the end, but the beginning.

At the end of winter when spring is approaching, this short stop will come to an end. Except for Planen, who has already withdrawn from the stage, all countries in the mainland have their own actions.

First, the country of the forest, began to deploy troops to strengthen the defense of the border.

Reinhardt, the central country, began to promulgate new laws and regulations on the original land of Plann, and also began post-war management.

As for Mantern, the country of mountains, their behavior is the most eye-catching. They have conveyed an important message to the other two countries.

They demanded that this year's four-nation parliament be held as usual.

Of course, everyone understands that there will only be three countries in the four-nation parliament this time.

The four-nation parliament is one of the important means for the four countries to maintain balance and peaceful coexistence and avoid war for a long time.

This centuries-old tradition has been set since the first Quadruple Council.

At the beginning of each year, the kings of the four countries will gather together to reconcile conflicts, stipulate the jurisdiction of the country, set new regulations, and coordinate the relationship between the kingdoms.This method has effectively prevented many wars, and at the same time made the existence of the four countries form an appropriate balance.

But it is clear that this time the Four Nations Council is different. Reinhardt broke the balance and directly attacked Plann. Such behavior has logically destroyed the conditions for the Four Nations Council to be held.

In other words, peace is no longer there, and the four-nation parliament should also disappear.

However, Mantern made a decision that people in the whole continent could not understand, and demanded that the four-nation parliament be held as usual.

Do they feel that there is still a possibility of coordination in the current situation?

Or are they using this parliament to do something?
No one knows what they're up to, but since they've made the request, the other two nations, Reinhardt and First, must respond.

In Reinhardt's council room, Hillman convened the council ministers. This time there was only one thing to discuss, whether to participate in the four-nation council.

"Your Majesty, I think that under the current situation, it is necessary to participate in this four-nation parliament. At least we must ensure that First and Mantern will not form an alliance, otherwise the alliance between the two countries will put us in a disadvantageous position. situation."

Beside the huge round table, a minister in aristocratic dress put his hands on the table and rationally put forward his own point of view.

"I object." An old-fashioned minister raised his hand slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Five days after Mantern asked to convene the Four-Nation Council, Forster publicly responded and agreed to participate in the Four-Nation Council. In my opinion, the two countries may have reached a cooperative relationship in secret. This time to participate in the Four-Nation Council It’s just a meaningless act, but there is still a lot of risk.”

"It's ridiculous." The aristocratic minister retorted dissatisfiedly: "Just presuming state affairs based on such a trivial matter, if your wrong judgment caused a difficult situation for our country in the future, can you bear this responsibility?"

"You!" The old-school minister blushed, apparently also aroused.

"Then what should you do if His Majesty is in danger because of your decision?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the other people beside the discussion table just smiled helplessly and shook their heads, discussing their opinions in low voices.

These two were always arguing in meetings, and they were already used to it.

"Okay." Hillman who was seated at the head raised his hand and stopped the two people who were arguing.

"Joseph, Lauren, you don't have to quarrel like this every time, your views are reasonable, but I hope you pay attention to the order of the parliament."

Hillman's words made the two of them stop arguing. They each sat in their seats, averted their eyes, and stopped looking at the other's annoying face.

The meeting went on as usual. Some people thought that the queen could go to the parliament, but she needed to bring enough guards and troops to prevent Mantern and First from using any despicable means.

Some people believed that the Queen could take advantage of this parliament to wipe out the kings of First and Mantern, but they were immediately reprimanded by the people around them.

Reinhardt admired glory and spurned tricks, not to say that they would not use tricks, but that they would not use them in this kind of place.

The Council of the Four Kingdoms is the most noble meeting, and it is also the place where the agreements and agreements made by the four kings have been made in ancient times. To use despicable tricks in that place is tantamount to a traitor to them, a person who has betrayed glory.

Chu has been standing silently by Hillman's side. As the queen's guard knight, she is fully responsible for the queen's safety. She is naturally eligible to enter the parliament.

Different from what she imagined, Reinhardt's state council was not as orderly and silent as she imagined, but with a kind of enthusiasm.

Everyone is trying their best to express their opinions and opinions, everyone has their own principles, everyone is different, but everyone has a common purpose.

Discuss the most reasonable and favorable judgment under the current situation.

In the end, after integrating everyone's opinions, Hillman made his own decision.

"I will go to the four-nation parliament this time."

While speaking, she stood up from her seat, picked up the bright red cloak on the back of the chair and draped it over her shoulders.

"But according to the agreement of the four-nation parliament, the king participating in the parliament cannot lead soldiers to the summit of the parliament. I am not going to break the agreement, so I only need to bring a team of ordinary people with me. As for the guard work."

Hillman looked at Chu and said.

"Just hand it over to Chu."

Unlike soldiers, the king's guard knights were allowed to enter the summit of the Parliament.

The ministers at the table almost frowned, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty..."

In any case, it would be too risky to go without an escort under the current situation.

"Needless to say." Hillman interrupted their words, staring ahead, his eyes sparkling.

"Let me take a look at the size of those two kings, just let them take a look, I'm waiting for Reinhardt's lion heart."

······
Reinhardt's lion heart lies in glory and pride.
