Fortunately, I didn't show it, otherwise I would be in the worst mood right now.
"Your Majesty, I offer you my eternal loyalty."
Having regained her composure, Abbrana walked forward, stopping just one step away from the throne, stretched out her hands, and knelt before the two men.
Neither Qianyi nor Tallulah understood her actions, so Kosice explained the plot: "This is a kiss on the hand, a necessary part of the nobles' oath of allegiance to the emperor."
They both nodded, but neither reached out to give Abrana a kiss.
Because Qianyi thought that Tallulah was the emperor, he must let Tallulah accept the hand kiss. But Tallulah thought, my hands are already tied to my feet, it would be inappropriate and unhygienic to stretch them out for others to kiss, so you should stretch them out.
The two of them were pulling each other in tacit understanding, and the result was that Abrana was just standing there with her hands raised, struggling.
Time passed by little by little, and the Banana Dragon was already sweating profusely and under tremendous pressure.
What...what's going on...
Was I looked down upon? Did he not need my loyalty?
No, I must have not done enough. It is too much for him to dare to ask for a kiss on the hand. He is the emperor of Ursus. In the near future, he may even seize Victoria. He is already half the emperor of Terra. How dare I overstep my bounds?
Should I lower my posture and offer a foot-kissing ceremony, or simply be willing to be the groom on the steps for the emperor to mount his horse?
Just as she was about to lower her hands and move in a lower posture, she finally heard a response.
"Ata, why don't you reach out your hand?" Qian Yi felt that Abrana, who had been left there for more than ten minutes, must be extremely embarrassed, so he took the initiative to break the deadlock.
"Ah?" Tallulah was surprised.
"Why are you surprised? You are the emperor of Ursus, so of course you have to accept it."
"I just kissed my feet. Are you sure you want me to extend my hands to accept a kiss on someone else's hand?" Tallulah raised her hands that were resting on her feet and showed them to Qianyi.
Abrana thought about it and felt that this was a good opportunity to improve her favorability, so she took the initiative to say, "Actually, I can take..."
"Stop talking nonsense, let me do it. You can't let a loyal subject who has come all the way to pledge allegiance to you kiss your hand that has been clipped." Qian Yi and Abrana spoke at the same time. Abrana, who noticed Qian Yi speaking, immediately stopped talking and let Qian Yi finish. When Abrana heard that it was Qian Yi who was going to accept her hand kiss, not Tallulah, she almost laughed out loud.
You can’t laugh, you can’t laugh yet!
Abbrana held her breath and carefully picked up Qian Yi's outstretched hand, her face as solemn as a groom attending a wedding, ready to put a wedding ring on the person he loved all his life.
She lowered her head, slightly closed her lips and kissed the back of her hand. Because her purpose of coming here was not pure, she was particularly dishonest when kissing the hand. She deliberately stuck out her tongue and scraped it lightly with the tip of her tongue. Wherever it passed, it was warm, soft, greasy, and smooth beyond words, with a hint of burning heat.
However, she was aware of her current status and did not dare to overstep her bounds. She only dared to taste it briefly and quickly took it back. Then she took out a handkerchief to help Qian Yi wipe his hands.
After she declared her allegiance, the remaining members and cadres of the Reunion Movement, including Patriot, Froststar, and Alina, also came.
Kids, is this some Terra-style music party?
After one round, Qian Yi felt like he was thrown into a basement with a hundred thousand succubi. He was completely drained and lost his mind.
How come ascending the throne is more difficult than killing eighteen inner guards? I should have known not to let Tallulah do whatever she wants and let her do this hard work.
At this time, a Snake Scale member hurried over to report.
"Report! Report to the emperor, the grand duke, that group of nobles, that group of nobles..." It seemed that the Snake Scale member had seen something incomprehensible and was gasping for breath.
"That group of nobles? Oh, are those Sima nobles finally willing to come to see me?" Kosice's expression was cold. If it was a little earlier, he would certainly be eager to meet this group of ministers, but now the two Draco sisters have declared their allegiance to the new Ursus as nobles and ministers, completing the process of allegiance to the new emperor, and he no longer needs them.
There are as many people as needed to replace this group of nobles.
"Let them wait. Ursus needs a reform. Since they are unwilling to follow the new emperor, then let them follow the old emperor." Kosice said coldly, implying that this group of people deserved to die.
"Those nobles are all dead."
"???"
Chapter 82 When I plan to form a lifelong band with you, you better agree
No one knew why Fyodor abdicated, but we knew that the Flying Hakkiron, who had been inexplicably favored by Kosice and replaced the Grand Duke of Baikal, but whose Third Army was seized by the Emperor, was about to ascend the throne.
Although the nobles all knew that Kosice was the greatest among the dukes and that after the emperor "abdicated", Kosice was actually the emperor, they still had to put up some resistance in order to defend their own interests.
Knowing that they could not fight against Duke Kosciuszko on their own, they gathered outside the Castle of the Holy Horse in tacit understanding. They would not hinder Kosciuszko from ascending the throne, but would not pledge allegiance to you either. They would just roast you on the brazier.
When Kosice can no longer bear it, he will naturally lower his stance, come to negotiate with them, and cede more interests.
Then they were killed by an unknown AOE.
The culprit who caused all this said——
"It's like, open the champagne~!"
"Quickly raid the homes of these nobles. Chinese New Year is coming soon. Give your men a year's supply of red envelopes. No, three years' supply."
Qian Yi didn't know why these nobles died inexplicably, and why they died so clownishly, but that didn't stop him from taking their gold coins.
Nobles are like ATMs. They usually whine about not having money, but when you hit them with a few sticks, they take out money faster than anyone else.
"Three years? So many?" Tallulah was surprised.
"Is that a lot?" Qian Yi asked Kosice to compile a list of the nobles gathered outside Saint Castle while chatting with Tallulah. "It's not much at all. Loyal people deserve to be rewarded. Besides monetary rewards, I also plan to give them spiritual and honorary rewards, such as titles. I want them to become nobles and help them break free from the class of the infected."
"You want to confer a knighthood on the infected?" Tallulah was shocked.
"Why not?" Qian Yi asked back.
"Is this too radical?" Alina also began to worry. Currently, the infected are still being condemned by everyone in Ursus. If we rashly let a large number of infected people ride on the heads of ordinary people...
"As for the nobility, there are as many people as you want to replace it. Does it matter whether it's an infected person or an ordinary person?" Qian Yi didn't think that the power he currently had in his hands would not be able to solve this problem.
This is the Terra continent, not some strange world. Discrimination against the infected is not something that is engraved into the underlying logic of the world like buoyant chickens and gangs. If we have enough power, we can crush them with one force!
"What if civilians riot?" Patriots asked this fatal question.
"Then they are not ordinary civilians, but enemies of the empire. We must strike hard." Qian Yi picked up the scepter beside the throne and twirled it casually in his hand like a pen, saying in a casual tone, "Since we are going to confer titles, there must be a beginning. Let's start in this room. Right now, everyone here will be knighted."
His voice was very soft, as if he was stating a fact rather than issuing an order or a request. To others, it sounded like a sudden roar of thunder.
"It is inconvenient for us to be present at the high-level meeting. We will withdraw now." Hedley, Mudstone and other Sarkaz bowed and prepared to leave.
"We'll take our leave for now." Abrana and Lavishini also planned to leave tactfully.
This is the knighting activity of Ursus. One of them is the Sarkaz from Kazdel, and the other is Drake from Victoria. They have nothing to do with Ursus, so it is not their turn to stay here.
"Please stay. I have just said that I want everyone in this room to be granted a title, and you are standing in this room at this moment." Qian Yi smiled.
"We are Sarkaz." Hedley emphasized the origins of himself and his companions.
"Don't you think highly of the title of Ursus? I can exchange it for other rewards."
"No, how is that possible! Being a noble in Ursus is something we wouldn't even dare to dream of."
"Then stay. I need you. Ursus needs you. Can you give me the rest of your life?"
"His Majesty..."
The eyes of the Sarkaz mercenaries were filled with tears. In the past, they had given everything, even their lives, to help a country or group fight a war, but after helping them win, the first thing that group of people did was to forget their roots.
Not to mention the promised things, they even want to evade the basic employment fees, all because they are Sarkaz, an inferior race that is hated by everyone in this continent and treated like rats crossing the street.
Now there are people who didn't let them contribute at all throughout the whole process. The big brother was the one fighting in the front, and let them watch from behind. After the fight, not only did he not kick them away and say that they were useless, but he wanted to share the glory of victory with them.
Is this a dream...
"All those who wander want to find a place they can call 'home.' The weather in Ursus is a bit cold, but there are so many places to live. It wouldn't matter if we lived there for the rest of our lives," Qian Yi said calmly. He then looked at the Weicao sisters and said, "I can't give you the throne of Victoria, but after I conquer Victoria, I can promise you the title of Duke and rename your territory Tara. The Tara Dynasty may not be revived, but the Duke of Tara can exist."
"You...you know everything?" Abbrana said tremblingly.
Qian Yi didn't answer directly, but continued, "You've traveled all the way from Victoria to Ursus. You must have suffered a lot. You may encounter more difficulties in the future, but believe me, I will let Draco take back everything you deserve."
"why?"
"Because Tallulah is my lifelong friend, and you are the only ones left of her people. I don't want the Draco to fight among themselves, and I don't want this already fragmented race to disband for selfish reasons."
"..."
Abbrana was silent.
Lifelong friends... What a heavy word! Were they really just friends? Was Tallulah not her puppet at all, but her friend? How could they have such a relationship?
Inexplicably, a shocking idea suddenly popped up in her mind. She wanted to refuse directly, and then say that she could replace Tallulah and become the red dragon puppet under your command, and was willing to give everything for you.
If I fight Tallulah, will I win?
But the moment this thought came to her mind, she felt something deep in her heart being defeated in an instant.
No! I can't say that. If I say it...
She looked at Qian Yi, who was smiling and waiting for her agreement, and swallowed back her shocking idea. She had a premonition that if she insisted on becoming an enemy of Tallulah for the sake of power, the emperor who was in control of everything would tell her what was more despair than death.
No! Since Qian Yi and Tallulah are friends, doesn't that mean he has a chance?
"Is Qianyi getting heavier and heavier?" Toyokawa Shoko felt that Qianyi was now terrifyingly strong. He had transformed into a human-shaped self-propelled black hole, and anyone who saw him would be sucked in.
"Heavy?" Artoria didn't quite understand the meaning of this word.
"It means always asking for someone's whole life, the rest of their life and everything." Toyokawa Shoko feels that these three words may soon merge and evolve into 'until death do us part'.
"That's great." Altria said, "I also want to be with Qianyi for the rest of my life."
Toyokawa Shoko was speechless. After a long pause, she finally managed to utter a few words: "...You are also heavy."
Is a lifetime commitment something you can so easily promise? Can one person truly shoulder the responsibility of so many lives? What will the 100 million yuan band dissolution tax escalate into? Will it actually come back to haunt you?
Xiangzi couldn't help but think.
After a few seconds of silence, she changed the subject: "Have you thought about how to spend the money this time?"
"As for me, I will definitely buy magical girl merchandise," said Hiiragi Matina.
"If you don't have anything to spend your money on, can you lend me all the money you have this time?" Xier suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Toyokawa Shoko asked with concern.
Xi'er nodded and stated her purpose: "I want to buy a Star Destroyer."
"Star destroyer?!" Shoko Toyokawa, Mutina Hiiragi, Altria and Kiana were all shocked.
"I found a broken Interstellar Peace Corporation robot in the lower area before. I tried to fix it and found that there were star destroyers for sale in its menu. If there were star destroyers, the crisis of Beloberg might be resolved." Xier explained the whole story.
"Why don't you ask Qianyi if he has a solution?" Kiana said.
Xier shook her head. "I'm almost done with the debt I owe Qianyi. I can't continue to owe him. The future of Beloberg must ultimately be recaptured by the hands of our own people. I'll pay you back later."
"That's true. I can't always trouble Qianyi. I have saved a lot of money, and I haven't spent it before. It adds up to almost 15 billion yen. I will give it all to you later." Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath and decided to take out all her assets at once to help her group members.
"Is it okay to give it all to me?" Xier was a little worried that it would affect Xiangzi. She remembered that Xiangzi seemed to be in urgent need of money as well.
"No need. I'm an excellent student, I get a scholarship every year, and I work part-time, so I can make a living. Besides, we've already taken Ursus, and next we're going to take Victoria, and even all of Terra. We can earn this little money back in no time." Xiangzi smiled, radiating a gentle, angelic glow. "Besides, I really want to see what a Star Destroyer looks like."
Kosice, who was eavesdropping on the side, looked solemn.
Children, are you going to destroy the continent of Terra?
How could a schoolgirl like you say such cruel and overbearing words, seize Victoria, even the entire Terra, and then go buy a Star Destroyer?!
Is the stuff you're talking about on the same level as ours?
Are you kidding me?! Just use your Originium skills honestly!!!!
Qian Yi, who found the conversation very interesting, joined in: "Star Destroyer? That's indeed a good thing. Count me in. I have plenty of funds on hand. If anyone dares to leave our empire without permission, I will send them to the sky with a single shot."
"I think we should love peace," Kosice said righteously. "Ursus is a peace-loving country. We shouldn't develop such powerful weapons. Even if we do, it will take at least a hundred years, no, a thousand years!"
"You're wrong. Having a Star Destroyer and not using it is different from not having a Star Destroyer." Tallulah retorted to Koschei.
"But even if we pool all our money together, it's still far from enough." Xier scratched his head and said.
"It doesn't matter. There are still many nobles in Ursus, Victoria, and Dayan..."
Qian Yi said with a smile.
Chapter 83 Casimir: Ursus is going to sign a non-aggression treaty with Victoria?
Ursus, the Palace of the Holy Fortress.
It feels good to search a house, and it feels good to search a house all the time.
