"Um, Your Majesty."

"What is it, Alicia? Hey, what's up?

The day after the tea party with Sonia, Alicia visited Elquille's office.

Alicia asks Erkühl in confusion.

"Well, I heard His Majesty humiliated me to convince the people and ministers. Is that true?

"Who told you that? You and Sonia aren't like having a conversation."

Carolina and Shehrazard interact with Sonia.

Cecilia is also trying to make contact with extra kindness in an attempt to convert Sonia to Orthodox Messianism.

But Renalier, and Alicia, are avoiding each other because they had a bad impression of meeting for the first time.

By the way, every time Nia and Sonia meet each other in the face, they still seem to stir each other up.

"The servants are rumoring."

"I see... well, you do. About half of it's true."

In fact, the anti-bull gallon sentiment inside the Lemurian Empire was very high.

There were few opinions that the Chromium clan should not be helped, as it was possible enough to win even if they did not help the Chromium clan as it was and continued the economic blockade.

Alicia, in particular, is the executioner who killed many Lemurian soldiers in an ambush attack that broke the truce agreement, and on top of that, she is about to kill Erkür, the emperor.

If Erkür had helped Alicia and the Chromium clan in two replies, much dissatisfaction would have remained with the people and ministers.

In that sense...... it is never a mistake to humiliate Alicia in public in order to dissolve that dissatisfaction.

"... half, is it?

"Yes. The other half is my emotion. Yeah, but if you don't, I can't forgive the people and the ministers."

"... ha"

Alicia didn't know what to say and laughed vaguely.

Elquille reaches out to Alicia.

Vikri, Elkür gently strokes Alicia's head, shuddering her body.

"It's over now. Never mind, what you've done with that is already liquidated in me."

"... you jerked me off about that last night"

"That's in the past, too."

Elquille flaunted her shoulders.

Alicia exhales.

Gradually, Alicia has also come to know what a human being named Erkühl is.

A man named Erkühr is a kind of delightful prisoner.

Better not pepper that word or action too much.

"By the way, what are you doing now? Looks like you've been busy lately."

"It's a stabilization of the Teriportanian region. I'm going to make the occupation a fait accompli... the other half is over. And then it's just a matter of time."

The first thing Erkühl did was wipe out the rebel forces in the Teriportania region.

In other words, they did not accept the rule of Erkühl, and used force to suppress the villages of the Beasts (Warbeast).

It gave voice to those who at the same time embraced domination early on, guaranteeing land and property, and life….

In fact, only some Beasts (Warbeasts) fought a fierce rebellion, and many Beasts (Warbeasts) passively accepted the reign of the Lemurian Empire.

Land and property were guaranteed......

Sometimes, but more than that, because many of the privileges of the time of Laus I (the Predecessor) had been abolished by Hilderick II (the current King), it is also significant.

There was also a small number of Raus I beasts (Warbeasts) who were unhappy with Hilderick II.

They had no brother-in-law to follow the Lemurian Empire, but they had no brother-in-law to risk their lives for Hilderick II because of that.

Therefore he accepted the reign of the Lemurian Empire lightly.

Resistance was shown by the Hilderick II Beasts (Warbeasts), who had won the civil unrest earlier and won many lands with merit awards, and some of the extreme (humans)...

They were swept away by the Lemurian army led by Oscar and Stefan, Darios and Garfis.

The next thing Erkühl did was colonize the Tundan soldiers.

He colonized one pre-recruited Tunda soldier after another in the form of a replacement for withdrawing the Standing Army.

Many of the Beasts (Warbeasts) who defied the Lemurian Empire had vested interests…

In other words, there were many people with vast amounts of private land, so there was no trouble with the land to colonize them.

In the area where the rebel forces were present, Erkühl planted the Tunda soldiers who would be the wedges of domination.

If we get here, we don't have so much to do.

All we need to do after that is to put in place a governing mechanism.

Erkühr benefited the leading members of the Lemurian (Human) and Beast (Warbeast) tribes, and incorporated them into the governing structure.

He also placed them above the leading local figures, after returning the territory, albeit partially, to those who had territory in the Teriportanian region, among the predecessor Beast (Warbeast) nobles who had previously exiled to the Lemurian Empire.

Besides their familiarity with the geography of the Teriportanian region, they also have the know-how of domination.

He was originally a predecessor, so his acceptance of the local predecessor remnants is not bad.

And it is somewhat more credible than those who have fallen back on Lemuria with a passive attitude…

Also, naturally, many bureaucrats are sent from the center.

In five more years, the Teriportanian region will be fully integrated into the bureaucratic centralised system of the Lemurian Empire.

Others include the development of military postal systems and…

With a view to future governance, including the twisting of utility costs such as water treatment and irrigation for the restoration of farmland devastated by the war, Elkhur had devised various measures.

"Todoris is doing it now if you're negotiating for peace, but it's already a big deal"

"Has the Kingdom of Cerda granted the renunciation of the Teriportanian region?

"You're right that I have to admit rather than admit it. Well, I haven't admitted it yet... but I'm definitely gonna make you admit it."

Whether the Lemurian Empire tries to declare that the Kingdom of Cerda will renounce or cede the Teriportanian region, it intends to place the Teriportanian region under its control…

That has already been passed on to the Kingdom of Cerda.

Depending on Todris, the court of the Kingdom of Cerda seemed to be in the mode of giving up.

Most of all… a prime minister with a support base in the Teriportanian region appears to be showing resistance, but it is also a matter of time.

"You're negotiating a ransom now. Princess Sonia is pricey."

"It's not such a product... by the way, negotiating, which means at whose ransom are you rubbing it now? Like General Iason?

"No, it's not. Soldiers."

The Lemurian Empire has captured more than 100,000 prisoners.

Elquille demanded a ransom, albeit low, and is about to hand this over to the Kingdom of Cerda...

The Kingdom of Cerda refuses to pay and intends to discount it.

For every one of them, even if it is low, will be enough to make the treasury of the kingdom of Cerda a a fire train, if the number of people is one hundred thousand.

"I see... but even the Kingdom of Cerda will be in distress, and you may not be able to pay"

"I also pay compensation.... they are complaining about reducing the compensation if they demand such an expensive ransom. If you think of soldiers, you should pay no matter how expensive."

"That's not what the ransom demands."

Elquille flashed her shoulders at Alicia's words.

"So what are you going to do?

"If we don't get wrapped up, we're going to end the ransom negotiations for one soldier.... to the soldiers, the kingdom of Cerda is willing to abandon you for ransom. and I intend to explain"

"Whatever it is, it's terrible..."

The prisoners, who have generous protection from the Lemurian Empire, are already leaning towards their parent Lemuria.

If Elquille tells them so...

Their minds are increasingly moving away from the Kingdom of Cerda and, conversely, closer to the Lemurian Empire.

"But... closing the ransom bargain, does that mean freeing it for free?

"No, I'm going to have to pay for the ransom myself. Give labor to those who cannot pay."

By the way, Elquille intends to halve the ransom he imposes on individual soldiers.

By making it cheap, I told the soldiers, "Did the Kingdom of Cerda reluctantly abandon us, even with this degree of forehead! to make you think."

"We are going to let you choose whether to return to the Kingdom of Cerda or remain in the Lemurian Empire. Some of them will have ties to the women of Lemuria, and Teriportania will be home."

Returning home, or staying...

By then their emotions will have become parental Remlia, so it doesn't really matter.

"By the way, there is a flow of peace negotiations first… but when is the next time you attack?

"What, you want to fight so much war? You're a warrior."

"... Your Majesty said that the Kingdom of Cerda will perish."

When Alicia said so, Elquille clasped her shoulders.

"Five years of reciprocal inviolability," he stipulates. So don't be in five years at the earliest. By then, Princess Sonia, who became a pro-Lemrian, should be queen. "

Divide the kingdom of Cerda into two parts: the anti-Lemurian kings and the pro-Lemrian queens...

In the form of poking through that gap of confusion, Erkühl intends to attack the Kingdom of Cerda.

"Is that why you are at least meeting Princess Sonia for tea?"

"What did you think it was for?

"I thought it was the usual bad femininity..."

When Alicia said so, Elquille stood up.

Then I grab Alicia's hand and hunt her down to the wall.

"Hey, what is it?

……

Elquille did not answer Alicia's question, but matched her lips with those of herself, to which she responded.

"With such a beautiful woman, you wouldn't even have to dictate to another woman, would you?

……

Alicia blushed and turned away.

On several occasions, they kiss each other.

Then Erkühr said.

"Nothing. I don't want to hold a woman in my eyes, whoever he is. If that's what you think, it's prejudice."

As it stands, Erkühl is satisfied with both masses when it comes to his sexual intercourse counterparts.

There were no plans to add more mistresses, lovers, or wives.

"By and large, Princess Sonia is the fiancé of the king of the kingdom of Cerda, isn't she? If I get my hands on it, it'll be a pain in the ass. I'm going to give it back to your country with a good, clean body."

"... I was also the fiancée of Prince Wang of the Bulgaron Kingdom"

"Am I? I'm sorry, I forgot about that area."

To much rhetoric, Alicia sighed again.

Regardless, Elquille hasn't forgotten.

It's a "it's that, this is this" theory that you're good at.

"I can't believe we're gonna get along for five years, okay? What is the Kingdom of Cerda? So I won't do anything that makes the relationship worse, at least for the last five years. The tea party with Princess Sonia is also for the friendship between the two countries… for the first time in five years."

"... for which the servants told you that you seem to be actively dictating, right? The rapprochement between His Majesty and Princess Sonia has already been known throughout the Palazzo Nova Lemuria, and there are rumors in Nova Lemuria as well. Are you sure you're not trying to dictate?

When Alicia asked, Elquille glanced over her shoulder.

"Those are my vegetables. When you talk to beautiful women, you talk naturally."

……

Alicia sighed, not knowing how many times she had heard Elquille's response.
