in the name of the queen.

Chapter 256 Two people dance together
Lisa was looking forward to the dinner, but Roland and Lisa didn't feel much at all.

As we all know, the dishes for a state banquet must take into account the quality of the dishes, food culture and pomp.

It may not be delicious, but it certainly looks good.

Except for a few small countries where state banquets are as shabby as roadside stalls, state banquets in most respectable countries are very particular.

Even in Sussex, a food desert, when preparing state banquets, chefs from traditional food countries such as Golden Kite, Thalia and even Nubia will be invited to cook dishes.

The state banquet of Jin Yuan Kingdom is famous throughout the continent.

Even the descendants of the Magic Empire who looked down upon the barbarians would be full of praise after attending the state banquet of the Jin Yuan Kingdom.

The standard of this state banquet is very high.

All heads of state and all senior officials in La Cité attended, as well as envoys from various countries and elites from all walks of life who were invited to attend.

Before the state banquet began, Alina signed an amnesty order to release political prisoners and criminal prisoners with lighter sentences, signed a series of decrees, lifted the curfew, lifted the state of emergency, stopped mobilization orders, and allowed drafted non-professional soldiers to return to their hometowns.

Even if only more than a third of the shops are open, it is considered a victory.

She accepted Roland's suggestion and asked the government office and the Cité City Hall to handle the matter.

When Alina walked into the banquet hall, her identity was completely in line with the head of state who was newly introduced in the afternoon.

Of course, there is no conflict between the two. Many people first go to the pub to enjoy the intoxication, and then go to the red light district to find the release of their passion.

The law lags behind most of the time.

This dinner must be held as soon as possible.

The lights return to Xidai City.

"Once such a bad impression is planted, it will be difficult to do anything later."

But she unknowingly turned into the person she hated the most.

The host of the dinner was naturally Alina, the new great liberator and head of state.

"Although the curfew is lifted tonight, normal people will choose to wait and see, and not many shops will be open for business. Seeing that the streets are deserted tonight, but the lights in the Palais de la Cité are brightly lit, it is easy for citizens to feel alienated and alienated feel."

Alina suddenly remembered Marco's words and felt inexplicably irritated.

This was Roland's idea.

Drinking and sex always go hand in hand.

If Alina takes over, she can go out on the street that night to enjoy delicious food and find happiness.

Alina nodded frequently, showing an astonished expression.

"Alina, as long as the people's hearts are still there, no matter how difficult it is, we can overcome it. The Jinyuan Kingdom has been devastated by Marco for nearly two years. All industries have withered, and the people's hearts have been dispersed."

She didn't want to agree with this tyrant.

If we wait a little longer in accordance with the procedures, the troublemakers incited by foreign forces may come.

With this comparison, it’s clear who is better.

Although the time was short, the residents of Xidai City were very sensitive to the political wind direction, and they had already smelled the restoration of order.

That is, of course, if they open for business today and show trust in the new government.

Under the heavy reward, there will be greedy people.

But under the threat of death, the law can sometimes be surprisingly proactive.

When Marco was there, there was a night curfew, and anyone who gathered with more than three people would be arrested and examined, and even sent to the guillotine.

This is the government's compensation for them.

It must be fast anyway.

Although it is incomparable with the excitement when half of the city was lit up with lights when Xidai City was at its most prosperous, it is recovering at least.

People's confidence is also recovering unconsciously.

As long as you have enough strength, the law will change for you.

But that was all she could do.

Night falls.

Alina didn't quite understand it at first, but Roland's explanation made her eyes light up.

There is no harm without comparison.

It's not that the Jinyuan people are so arrogant, but that Leifer's allure is amazing.

That afternoon, more than half of the shops on the street resumed business.

What if Alina is not qualified to be president?
Simple, just abolish the office of the president and let Alina, the great liberator and [head of state], serve as the leader of the country.

She wanted to put this matter to death before the foreign envoys had time to react.

The shops with the best business tonight are the pubs and the red light district.

Just as the citizens of Xidai were enjoying their long-lost happiness, the banquet hosted by Jin Yuan's new government also began.

Shops that open for business today will all receive financial subsidies. The amount is not large, but it is still worth a few days of turnover of small shops.

Alina walked into the banquet hall, and the people who were still talking softly suddenly stopped talking.

The lively banquet hall became quieter than the library.

You can hear a pin drop.

Alina walked up to the podium, smiled and waved to everyone.

She was wearing an elegant purple evening gown today.

Purple evening dress is the most noble color, and it is also a color that is difficult to wear with charm.

Her identity and strength can hold up the purple evening dress, but her temperament and experience are far from interesting.

Her temperament is closer to that of a Rangers leader than a head of state.

Like, but always almost meaningless.

Alina didn't care.

It is strange that he shows a charming kingly temperament just after becoming the leader of the country. She could be more childish, which would be more real and relatable.

She didn't want to become a monoman like Marco.

Thinking of this magical word created by Roland, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

It would be great if Roland was the Prime Minister of Jin Yuan Kingdom.

He can always see through the phenomenon to the essence.

Although his political skills are not as good as those old guys who have been immersed in politics for decades, his keen eyesight is far superior.

She looked at Roland, who was standing between Sif and Lisa, and sighed slightly in her heart.

It seems unlikely.

Roland has become Queen Sif's forbidden pet, and no one else can touch him at all.

But she was still a little surprised. She knew that Roland and Sif had an ambiguous relationship, but how could he and Miss Lisa not seem to know each other?

This guy actually stood openly and openly between the two girls? Roland, are you serious?

The amount of information in this triangular position was so great that Alina couldn't react for a while.

Fortunately, the etiquette officer reminded her with a slight cough.

It's time for your speech, Führer.

Alina held the hem of her skirt, took two steps forward, bowed slightly, and first expressed her gratitude to the guests present.

She has attended many dinner parties since she was a child and is very familiar with this set of things, so there will be no problems.

Until her eyes fell on Sif again.

Strictly speaking, Sif and she are still in a state of war, and how to deal with Sif is very troublesome.

Returning to reality, without Sif's strong support, she would never be able to return to Xidai, let alone ascend to the top of power.

There is no good in this world without reason, and there is no indiscriminate hatred.

Sif helped her for a reason.

She took action because she looked at Roland's face.

Roland is not a philanthropist, and he has a clear purpose in helping her.

Roland said he was helping his friends, but just listen to what he said.

Who would risk their lives to help a so-called "friend"?
Roland's attitude toward her went far beyond the level of a friend, and she couldn't play dumb.

She knew Roland's intentions very well. Thinking of the past when she wanted to use herself to repay a favor but was flatly rejected by Roland, Alina understood.

Roland likes Sif and can't tolerate anyone else in his heart. He can stop thinking about marriage.

Since Roland's crush is Sif, and Sif's old enemy is Sophia, what Roland wants most is to help Sif solve her existential crisis.

Standing on Roland's side in dealing with Sophia was his bottom line.

Of course.
Not easy at all.

In the eyes of the Golden Kite people, the Sussex people are enemies. The Vladimir Empire is too far away. Their attack on St. Rurik Castle is very far away, and it will be the same if the other party comes over.

There is a natural possibility of an alliance between Golden Kite and the Vladimir Empire.

In fact, they were once traditional allies, but after the expiration of the alliance, the two sides had no intention of continuing.

But in any case, the upper-class elites of Jinyuan have a good impression of the Vladimir Empire.

If they had to choose, they would definitely be willing to form an alliance with the Vladimir Empire to jointly deal with potential enemies across the sea.

The second child teaming up with the third child to deal with the boss has happened many times in the Rodinia continent, and it is not new.

If you want to change national policy, you have to convince the upper class elites.

Thinking of this, Alina had an inexplicable headache.

But she didn't have time to worry about the headache because she had to face Sif.

Seeing the gentle gaze cast by Sif, Alina did not escape. She raised a glass of dark purple wine and walked towards Sif.

"hope"

"Sif, Earl of Tyrone." Sif said quickly.

Fortunately, she is here today as a count, Alina thought to herself.

She raised her glass and extended an invitation to Sif, "May I propose a toast to you for peace and friendship?"

Sif did not raise her glass, but said lightly: "Is this all?"

Alina bit her lip and said softly: "Although it is difficult, I will stand firmly on your side in dealing with your enemies."

Sif looked calm and raised her glass, "Peace is hard-won and deserves a toast. You and Roland can discuss the specific details."

Alina didn't say anything, she just raised her glass in response.

Just as Alina and Sif clinked glasses, melodious music sounded.

The dance begins.

There are three dances tonight. Each man can send an invitation to a woman to dance with, and the other woman will not refuse under normal circumstances.

How long it takes depends on the relationship between the two parties.

When Alina was hesitating whether to invite Roland for the first dance, Sif had already extended her right hand to her, inviting her with a chic gesture.

"Dear Liberator, may I have the honor of being your first dance partner tonight?"

Alina was a little confused.

This seemed different from what she thought.

But she did not refuse, but gracefully stretched out her right hand and placed it on Sif's hand.

"It's my pleasure."
