Chapter 563: 563
 

Husband and Wife Conspiracy

Maple Leaf Palace.

The past few days were enough for rumors to ferment. The palace was the place where news spread the fastest. Even the most ordinary servants knew about the disputes and conflicts between the Skyquaking Dragon and the nobles.

Of course, he also knew that Princess Tina had chosen to stand on her fiancé’s side.

This meant that Goethe’s little princess had abandoned the Tedarell family, abandoned the glorious and sacred Goethe noble union, abandoned the interests of her mother country, and forgotten her noble identity as a noble.

The slander and criticism in the dark were enough to form a torrent of cold violence. It would even be reflected into small actions on the surface under the instructions of some people, forcing them to fight each other.

“For breakfast today, the texture of the cheese bread is relatively worse than the day before. It’s like the flour has been sifted less times, and there’s more residue in the lemon water than usual. I can tell at once.”

In the garden, Tina held Kant’s arm and strolled with him under the afternoon sun. Amid the alluring fragrance of flowers, the princess’s voice was gentle and pleasant as she spoke.

Kant frowned. This had nothing to do with being pampered or living a luxurious life. It was a targeted action. It was a disgusting behavior.” I’ll go teach him a lesson.”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Tina’s soft laughter.

His fiancée in name raised her head. Her blue eyes narrowed as she smiled happily and proudly.” Kant, of course I’m happy to have you help me vent my anger. But I prefer to do it myself. Don’t treat me like a weak little girl who only knows how to cry under the covers when she’s wronged.”

“Hmm? It sounds like the valiant and strong princess has already defended her dignity.”

“Yes.”

Under the sunlight, Tina’s face was as beautiful as a painting. Her pleasant voice was as clear as a lark’s.” After I found out, I immediately brought Ah Xing to Father and Second Sister’s dining rooms. I took their breakfast separately. After comparing and tasting them, only my breakfast was relatively poor.”

” Then, I went straight to the palace kitchen and got the evidence that hadn’t been destroyed in time. The evidence was irrefutable, and no one could say anything. The steward in charge of daily food management was killed by my order and dragged to the garden to be whipped to death in front of the servants. Father wanted to say something, but I said directly that if the palace knight was unwilling to defend the honor and dignity of Tedarell, I would personally end it with an axe.”

” According to the severity of the case and their status, the people involved were sentenced to flogging, dismissal, forfeit of salary, and confinement. I know you sympathize with the civilians, and I know that those cooks and servants could not refuse the orders of the stewards, so they were only punished with confinement…What do you think?”

At this point, she pursed her lips. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Kant. She was pleased with herself and looked like a child seeking praise.

Kant smiled.” You’re right. You’re decisive. You’re already 30% as good as me.”

“Only three points.” Tina said disappointedly,” Then I’ll have to continue working hard.”

“But compared to this…” Kant said,” I don’t think there’s any point in you staying in Maple Leaf Palace. Why don’t you come to Far Harbor too? The public opinion here is already targeting you.”

Tina smiled and shook her head.” This is my home. I have a share of Tedarell. Why should I leave like this?” Furthermore, Lucerne is the capital of Goethe. Your voice and will must be present here, so that the core leaders of this country will always be aware that you are here.”

” What?” Tina looked at Kant with a smile before he could say anything.” If I don’t do this, who else can?” Second Sister?”

“..”

” What does that have to do with her?” Kant asked, wide-eyed.

Tina snorted a few times.” After Second Sister came back, she became very strange. She doesn’t take the initiative to look at me anymore. If it’s because her relationship with me has deteriorated, she was very angry about the breakfast bread today. However, when I thanked her and chatted with her, she was a little perfunctory. When I mentioned you, she secretly pricked up her ears…Kant, what do you think is going on?”

Kant fell into deep thought. He thought for a while and scratched his head.” I think she might have some complicated feelings for me.”

Tina’s eyes revealed a hint of astonishment.

Then, she heard her lover say,” It’s like this. I think your second sister is a very smart, clear-headed, and open-minded noble. She’s more of a right-wing reformist. She clearly understands the reason why the country is weak and is eager to change the situation. However, she still has her own class limitations. When reforming the country is bound to harm the interests of her class, she will feel lost and painful…”

“Because of this reason, she supported us in the beginning when it came to the element of contradiction. However, as the situation developed, her own contradictions were revealed and she had a relatively large conflict with me. However, she still agreed with me in her heart. It was just that her loyalty and persistence to her own class made her suffer. At the end of the Battle of Distant Harbor, she chose to stay out of it, but she still left the command of the Investigation Corps behind…”

” That’s why her feelings for me are very complicated. She feels instinctively uneasy about me rudely changing this country. It comes from her deep-rooted thoughts as a noble all these years, but her subconscious hopes that I can make this country better. This complicated feeling is expressed by her feelings for you…”

Tina suddenly sighed heavily.

Kant was forced to end his analysis of Goethe’s second princess, Stella, who had displayed the contradictory dichotomies between the advanced and the backward during the country’s revolution.

He even planned to write a thesis and then instruct Horus to build a character model so that he could win over and educate the advanced Goethe noble youth like Stella in the future.

“What’s wrong?” he asked curiously. Your sister’s personality and behavior are quite typical…”

“I feel happy and sad at the same time,” Tina said helplessly.

“.. Do you think I’m wrong?” Kant was puzzled.” If that’s not the reason, what else could it be? It can’t be that she has taken a fancy to me, right? What a joke. It’s only been a few days, and we haven’t talked much. We haven’t experienced anything, and we even had a big fight…”

” You’re jealous?” He suddenly realized something and pointed at Tina’s forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. There was no such thing as love at first sight in this world…Your second sister is an independent and intelligent woman. She has love and responsibility for this country and nation. Don’t judge her with simple thoughts of love.”

Tina made a face and snorted.” Yes, yes, yes. If you say so.”

This was pretty good, wasn’t it?

Kant shook his head and tossed the flirtatious thought away. Even though he said that, his heart still skipped a beat when he thought of Stella’s intellectual face, which was similar to Tina’s but had a completely different temperament. Men were all like pigs with amazing imaginations, but it was not against the law to think about it.

He changed the topic. Then I’ll be in charge of your three meals a day?”

This time, Tina naturally wouldn’t refuse.

“Sure,” she said with a smile.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They must have thought of the past of the Saint Seal Islands.

Even after their reunion, Tina felt different from before when she ate the food from Earth that she had not eaten for a long time.

It was true. Until now, she had never eaten the delicious potato chips or drunk the refreshing and sweet Coke from that day.

However, shared memories were still the sweetest.

They had met and met. They had once been separated, but now they were reunited. They were so happy and satisfied.

“I want to kiss you.” Tina smiled shyly and lowered her head slightly.

Kant looked at her beautiful hair, her shy and beautiful face, her thin shoulders, her neck that was as delicate as a swan, and the small part of her skin that was exposed. Her exquisite collarbone and the stunning girl right in front of him were filled with love. He recalled the time a few days ago, and he had been thinking about it for the next few nights.

“I want to, too,” he said in a low voice.

“.. Then we can only think about it.”

Tina revealed a sly and proud smile.” Ah Xing might be peeking. Even if she isn’t, I’ve made an agreement with her.” An agreement is an agreement.”

It was very awkward that day when Ah Xing found out about the good thing. After that, he was busy with the Faraway Harbor incident, so Ah Xing stayed in the Maple Leaf Palace to protect Tina. They had been together day and night for the past few days, and just thinking about it gave them a headache. It was not surprising that they had done some fancy work. Now, it seemed that a secret negotiation was going on quietly.

The fact that Kant was able to take a stroll with Tina in the garden was one of the preliminary results of the negotiation. It was to prevent Ah Xing from being on guard and hugging Kant’s other arm in a tit-for-tat manner, which would make the three of them feel very uncomfortable.

In exchange, Kant wanted to spend the same amount of time alone with Ah Xing.

The additional clause was that Ah Xing was intimidated by the golden retriever’s beauty and extremely high-level coquettishness. He suggested that he was not allowed to do shameless things with Kant when they were alone. Otherwise, once he was discovered, she would tie Tina to one side and forcefully take Kant’s chastity in front of her.

This kind of penalty for breaching the contract was very lame from all aspects, but because the person who proposed it was Ah Xing, Tina was still shocked…After all, that was Ah Xing.

“An agreement is an agreement.”

Tina could see Kant’s wishful thinking from his gaze. It was a man’s nature to exploit loopholes.

She smiled and hugged Kant’s arm. She leaned forward slightly, and the front of her shirt fell due to gravity. Her collar hung empty, revealing a deep valley and a snow-white mountain.

Under Kant’s watchful gaze, the princess swayed her body slightly, and the waves behind her began to surge.

Her face flushed red as she pointed at the deep ravine, or even deeper.

“Ah Xing’s nose is very sensitive. If she smells your saliva here, something terrible might happen. Are you sure?”

“..”

Kant’s gaze was filled with indignation and condemnation.

The complexity of human nature was once again vividly displayed on his body. On one hand, he was restless, on the other hand, he had concerns in his heart, on the other hand, he blamed Tina for using this method to tempt him, and on the other hand, he shouted for more of this kind of temptation…Thousands of words converged into one sentence, ha, man.

“Are we going to keep doing this?” he asked, curling his lips.

“Of course not.” Tina smiled and said,” I’m also having a hard time holding it in.”

“Then…”

“I’m thinking of a way, but according to my method, things have to be done step by step.” The princess’s eyes sparkled like stars. She tapped her lips with her finger.” Kant, if you can’t wait, you can find a way to speed up yourself…” Isn’t it fair?”

“Just you wait!” Kant said viciously.

Tina smiled gorgeously and nodded vigorously like a little girl. What was Kant planning to do? Can you tell me?”

“We have to take things one step at a time!” Kant seemed to have made a great wish.” It’s time to improve my skills and refine the Fire Stealer’s power to the molecular level!”

In short.

It was impossible to move his mouth. If he moved his mouth, he would leave saliva behind. Saliva would leave a very strong smell, and Ah Xing would be able to smell it. However, physical contact was inevitable.

Since it was difficult to avoid, he could make good use of it.

It was a man’s nature to exploit loopholes.

After a period of sneaky flirting, Kant still managed to take advantage of her a little, but that was all. He had to divert his attention. Now was not the time to indulge in gentleness.

What was the best way to quell the flames of desire?

Let’s talk business.

In the affairs of the country, only killing could be done. If one didn’t want to talk about killing, one could only talk about killing.

Tina listened carefully as Kant talked about what had happened in Faraway Harbor recently.

The princess frowned.

As a member of Goethe’s office and the noblest noble, she naturally understood the operating mechanism and current situation of the country better than Kant. It was not only Goethe, but even the entire human world and the Sunset Moon Dynasty. The aristocrats, as a huge class, held the vast majority of wealth and power.

This meant that he had a strong advantage in certain aspects.

Just like the nobles in the distant port.

If they were to fight Kant head-on, Kant would be able to destroy them all with a single stone, no matter how large the army they hired or gathered, or how many warships they had.

There was no need for Forbidden Spells, high-speed fighter jets, or ground firepower. The Knight Astolford had given Kant the final piece of the battlefield. He was gradually establishing a conventional deterrence.

War was Kant’s absolute advantage.

However, if the nobles of Distant Harbor were to fight Kant in terms of the people’s livelihood and prices, the nobles would have the absolute advantage on the battlefield.

This was because they controlled almost all the means of production and tools of production, forcing the vast majority of civilians to work for them directly or indirectly. This was where the confidence and strength of the nobles lay.

“.. Kant, this isn’t a war, but it’s more dangerous than a war. I suggest that you use military force as appropriate to complement economic measures to better fight them.”

Kant shook his head.” No, we have to solve this purely as an economic problem. Only by winning overwhelmingly in the field that they are most proud of, under their rules of the game, will we be able to shock and strike them to the greatest extent. When we win a complete victory in the economic field, it will be the time to mobilize military and political forces.”

Tina frowned and pondered for a moment before shaking her head in the end.

“I have to say…” She sighed.” Kant, in the current situation, you can’t expect Goethe to give you too much food support. Most of the estates under my father’s name produce wine and raw materials for the textile industry. I can try to ask my brothers and sisters for help, but other than that…”

That day, Kant had pointed at the nose of all the members of Goethe’s upper echelons and scolded them in the audience hall. To nobles who valued dignity and honor, it was the ultimate humiliation. His hostility was so obvious, and his attitude of declaring war was so resolute that there was no room for negotiation.

The trial and execution in Faraway Harbor had also spread to Lucerne and quickly spread among the noble circles. The nobles involved were stripped of all titles and honors, and they were killed with cruel torture like executing thieves and robbers. Such a method could only remind people of the cruelest tyrants in ancient times.

What was the crime of the nobles of the distant port?

Instigating riots and betraying Kant.

What were the accusations against the nobles in the audience hall that day?

Instigating riots and betraying Kant.

In that case, the nobles of the distant port have been stripped of their titles and honors, and sentenced to the punishment of strangling the wheels and iron cages. How does he plan to deal with the nobles of Lucerne?

The answer was obvious.

Therefore, it would be strange if the nobles in Goethe were willing to lend a helping hand.

They would only watch the show and even secretly cooperate with the lords of the distant port.

Tina said helplessly,” The quickest and most likely way to get food is to borrow food from the elves and the council. Kant, you won the Battle of Faraway Harbor and captured the navies of the three countries. You also have the secret of the Paragon Element. You can use it as a bargaining chip to buy food from them…”

Kant shook his head and said,” I’ll be taking a piece of meat from them if I negotiate with them. How can I waste my chips on such a problem? Asking them for help would be showing weakness, and it’s not conducive to the next step of the plan. The council and elves will definitely realize my predicament and raise the price…”

When he said this, he smiled and pinched Tina’s worried expression.

” Don’t worry, good girl. I’m not asking you how you’re going to gather food and win this battle. Let me ask you first. Under the premise that there’s absolutely enough food, do you think my plan will definitely win?”

“Of course we will win!” Tina nodded resolutely. With abundant food and an overwhelming military advantage, even the gods could not change the outcome of the victory.”

“Then…” Kant laughed.” I can tell you right now that we’re going to win.”

” Therefore, the problem now is not how to win, but how to take advantage of this opportunity to make further arrangements, expand the scope of attack, and grab a bigger fruit. Understand?”

Tina stared blankly at Kant for a moment.

Then, he slowly revealed a smile.

What his sweetheart meant was that he could get enough food.

Kant did not say where he got it from, which meant that he did not want to say it for the time being.

If he didn’t want to say, then he wouldn’t ask.

Tina believed Kant’s words without hesitation.

“Understood.”

She naturally understood Kant’s intentions.

“It seems like…”

“It seems that I have to write many, many letters to ask the wealthy and dignified Lord of Lucerne to lend a helping hand to a starving city, and then…” said the princess.

She revealed a sly smile, as if she was about to do something bad.

” Then, pray that there won’t be any reply.”
