Make the dragon great again

Chapter 81 The reason why the truce cannot be fought (ask for votes and investment!)
Anastasia, the first princess of Bechymos, and the Marquis Orlando, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Kingdom, left Benio IV's bedroom under the watchful eyes of the guards arranged by the regent duchess, and were stopped outside the door The heroic mage Granny followed.

Leaving the main tower of the palace and coming to a courtyard, the two stopped and started talking after Glenn said that no one was following them.

"Your Majesty did show signs of fluctuating consciousness after hearing His Royal Highness's call, but we cannot bring magicians who are good at spiritual magic into the bedroom, and we are completely unable to check the current state of Your Majesty's soul."

Marquis Orlando frowned.

Anastasia, who was wearing a gorgeous aristocratic long dress, looked at the auxiliary tower outside the courtyard and opposite the main tower of the palace, and said in a low tone:
"But at least it shows that father didn't fall into soul death like Elizabeth said, didn't he? Otherwise, why would she stop all actions to check the state of father's soul?"

After a moment of silence, Marquis Orlando suddenly said something that seemed completely irrelevant to the current topic:
"The kingdom really needs to be reorganized. The southern faction controls more than [-]% of the kingdom's grain production areas, and thus becomes more and more arrogant on many domestic interest issues. The northern faction seems to be content, but they occupy the eastern corridor. Over the years, It operates secretly, and is actually independent of the kingdom's administrative system..."

Anna knew what Marquis Orlando meant.

In the final analysis, what happened today was also caused by Elizabeth, the Duke Regent.

Elizabeth firmly insisted on continuing the war. Although the ultimate goal of doing so was to unify the other factions in the country violently and repair the already battered Behemoth Kingdom at the expense of the southern faction, not everyone They all totally agree with her approach.

Leaving aside the southern faction, the northern faction seems to be happy with the success of this, while the royal faction, such as the Marquis Orlando, the Minister of the Interior, is quite dissatisfied with the Duke Regent's approach.

However, those insiders who know Elizabeth's plan in the royal family have to admit that her plan is indeed the most likely way to repair the trend of the kingdom's division.

The words of the Marquis of Orlando are also based on such a background to express a sense of helplessness.

"But are we just watching those civilians lose their homes and even watch them die because of the war?"

Anna turned and looked into the eyes of Marquis Orlando, and continued:
"You are the Minister of the Interior, you know very well how much we have lost in this war, and how much the people have suffered because of it!"

Although Anna, who was born in the royal family, does not lack the ability to make political judgments, but she has been studying in the high tower forest all the year round, and even mixed with low-level adventurers, but she does not have the arrogance and indifference of the big nobles when they treat civilians. Therefore, for Elizabeth's approach, She has always felt difficult to identify with.

"Your Highness, of course I know what you said, and this is why I agreed to accompany you to visit His Majesty... But things have developed to this point, and it is impossible for this war to end easily, even if you are willing to be sent The Noble Tribunal and Griffin will never stop their wars. Everyone knows that their goal is to expand the country to achieve the kingdom's regulation, and finally restore the glory of the ancient Griffin Kingdom..."

What Marquis Orlando said was also the reason why Anna felt powerless about the status quo.

Elizabeth seemed to have figured everything out early.

When Griffin went to war undeclared on the grounds that Anastasia had humiliated the country's prince, the regent duchess deliberately showed weakness on behalf of the kingdom. She was convicted of Anna's "war initiator" and then deliberately let Anna escape from the capital. And send someone to go all the way in front of Griffin's search team to prevent Anna from falling into the hands of the Principality, so that the other party can completely grasp the power of interpretation and initiative;
During the two months when Anna met Adrian and disappeared completely, the scale of the war escalated rapidly and spread to a large area in the south of the kingdom. It also gradually became a real fire, and it almost developed to the point where there was no turning back.

Therefore, even if Anna intends to go to the Noble Tribunal by herself at this time, apart from comforting the southern faction and hitting the public opinion in the country, it will have no effect on stopping the war...

Now, including the army from the Principality before and after, and the northern faction from the royal family to oversee the battle, including the southern faction of the Kingdom who suffered extremely heavy losses, it can be said that both the Kingdom and the Principality have fallen into a difficult situation in this war.

Perhaps such a stalemate and tragic war situation will continue for another year or so, and there will be a lot of voices for a truce due to the unsustainable internal affairs on both sides, but at least for now, such voices are only a very small minority.

And whether the situation can be stalemate until then is also a difficult question to answer.

For the principality, the internal factions in the kingdom gave them the hope of victory, and their long-cherished wish to be upgraded to a kingdom is coming true. Coupled with the tough ruling of Grand Duke Griffin, there will be no voice for a truce within a short period of time;
As far as the kingdom is concerned, the royal faction expects to send troops to retreat with the northern faction and reap the remnants of the southern faction when the war gets further into the quagmire and the southern faction and the Principality of Griffin are both seriously damaged. The northern faction is envious of the royal family The post-war distribution of benefits promised by the faction, so it is better to say that they are looking forward to the tragic degree of the war at this stage...

The southern faction, which had been strong for a while because of its self-control of the kingdom's food distribution rights, was doomed to be a loser after the war began.

As for the people who suffered from this war, it seems that they were not counted by the forces in this vortex at all...

Anna was speechless to Marquis Orlando's words, so why didn't she know that the current self could not stop the war at all?
These powerful nobles of the royal family, such as the Marquis of Orlando, whom she tried her best to win over, could not really help her end this war. They were all just to express their stance to Elizabeth and remind her that Anna is the first heir to the country. , Let her not make things too ugly...

After Marquis Orlando left, Anna murmured to herself in a low voice:
"...Could it be that we need to ask Mr. Aide for help to end this war and save the suffering people?"

Gleinne, who hadn't spoken a moment ago, stepped forward, like a rude adventurer, and carelessly embraced the arm of her only student.

Looking at Anna who was huddled in her arms and showing a tired expression, Gleinie said with some distress:

"You don't have to bear this alone, little Anna, go and ask Lord Adrian for help! He is a giant dragon, and you are a naturally awakened dragon descendant. Judging from his attitude towards you, he will definitely help you. Just like when you met him in the Mullin Forest."

Anna struggled, but finally shook her head and said:
"Since Mr. Aide didn't directly intervene at that time, he just hoped that I could solve the problem by myself...Mr. Aide has already helped me a lot, so I really don't want to bother him until the last step."

Glenn opened her mouth, thinking that His Excellency Adrian is probably just too lazy to care about the internal problems of the human country. If you really ask, he will most likely agree...

But seeing Anna's firm expression, Gleinne didn't say this in the end, and instead said with an idea:
"Your Excellency Adrian is most concerned about the situation in the ancestral land of Behemoth, and that is what you think is the root cause of the current chaos in the upper echelons of the kingdom, and..."

Glenn gritted her teeth, and said something that she had doubted for a long time but never told Anna.
"Elizabeth, after disappearing in the land of her ancestors and returning 20 years ago, began to gradually change her temperament."

"what!"

Anna's body shook, and she immediately broke free from Glenn's arms, looking at her in shock.

Although Anna has always believed that the fall of the kingdom in the past 200 years is related to the changes in the land of the ancestors, after returning to the capital, she has been disturbed by the war situation and various miscellaneous things, and believes that the root cause of the current war lies in Elizabeth's inhuman plan , so it did not equate this war with the land of the ancestors too much;

But she didn't expect that Elizabeth would turn into a very strange appearance to herself, and it was actually related to the land of the ancestors!
……

To be continued, change first and then change.

The second is a little bit later...
