People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

Helenad knew that Helenad was an honest and kind person. If possible, Ivignad actually hoped that they could reconcile.

But people can reconcile, so how can power be reconciled?

They knew nothing at the time and arbitrarily set the rule of "you manage the military, I manage the politics." But when it comes to actually governing the country, how can the military and politics be separated?

No matter how close they were, they were still two people. Sometimes, Helinmat's military operations required political negotiations as a supplement, but Ivignad was not there. At other times, Ivignad needed to demonstrate authority and deter the Elector's overstepping of bounds, but Helinmat was on the frontier.

A fragmented and inefficient administrative system is only the best-case scenario. What if the two people disagree?

Herlinmat thinks someone should be killed, while Ivignad thinks it's negotiable and that his life can be exchanged for more benefits. So what should be done? Should the two of them have a fight first?

The answer is that if things continue like this, nothing will get done.

She didn't believe Ernst couldn't see that.

Ivignad replied, "She's very good to me. So I hope she's doing well."

Take a good rest.

The title of Empress can be retained, and she can share the throne and crown. She can maintain all of Helimat's treatment, as long as there is no longer a second voice in Letania.

But that's difficult.

Those who hold power find it difficult to relinquish it, as not everyone understands the principle that if you don't relinquish power, power will leave you.

Moreover, in Helimat's eyes, she was the "traitor." Even though she believed that everything she did was for the greatness of Letania, the fact was that Ivignad had betrayed her promise to Helimat and wanted to side with Helimat.

Since you want it now, you might as well not have given it to us in the first place.

Ivignad desperately wanted to say she regretted it, perhaps she shouldn't have made that idealistic decision in the first place, which had now ruined their relationship. But there's no going back, and someone has to bear the brunt of the betrayal and the broken friendship.

She was ready, but Helene Marte wasn't.

Ernst did not answer, but simply nodded.

He didn't care about rumors at all. Such trivial matters were nothing to him.

Moreover, Ivignad clearly misunderstood one point.

Many people believe that Ernst Shivaesh valued his reputation highly. This is true, because reputation was the key for him, the leader of a small country, to maneuver and gain benefits in the power struggles of major nations. Without this reputation, he wouldn't even be able to cross the threshold of other people's homes, let alone negotiate with those self-important feudal lords.

But if anyone thinks that valuing reputation means cherishing one's image, then they are mistaken.

First of all, Ernst is not Liberly; he has no feathers, nor is he, at least most of the time, out of the loop.

Secondly, just as Ivignad was prepared to exchange fame for power, Ernst was prepared to exchange fame for success.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in Iberia, making the decision for Carmen to help Iberia let go of its hatred for Agor.

Although Carmen ultimately took the lead in handling the incident and the ensuing public outcry, it still demonstrated Ernst's stance.

Carmen's decision might have been influenced by Ernst. If a foreign leader like him was willing to tarnish his own reputation to save Iberia, what reason could his aging body possibly have not to shoulder the burden for the younger generation?

Therefore, let alone such minor slander that doesn't count as public opinion, even if it were a large-scale wave of public opinion that could directly affect the decision, Ernst wouldn't mind taking on the burden himself if there was no other way to deal with it.

At worst, I'll just say a few more words like, "Don't ask anymore, don't ask anymore."

Didn't Section Chief Ma get promoted after that?

The path to progress was already in my heart.

However, Letania's problem is indeed a problem, and he doesn't have a good solution to it.

From his perspective, helping either Ivignad or Helenat was not an option. He had a minor grudge against Ivignad, but the fact that she had just retorted in front of Ernst showed Ernst her awareness.

This is on a completely different level from Helena, who, even at this point, still longs to regain her former enlightenment.

He's moved on from that past grievance. From a political perspective, Ivignad is indeed stronger than Helinmat.

But Helenemart was not without her own merits. At the very least, her personality reminded Ernst of the Duke of Windermere.

A leader who prioritizes emotions may not be a great leader, but she is certainly a great person.

Ernst did not admire the kind of monarch depicted in "The Prince," just as he had always admired Liu Bei from childhood when reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

The burning of Yiling, stretching for eight hundred li, clearly shows that Liu Bei was not a qualified emperor. But Guan Yu would certainly acknowledge him as an unquestionable elder brother.

Ernst always treated his own people this way. No matter what you say, he would protect his own. If his subordinates had problems, he would step in even if it meant facing Theresis head-on.

So he remained silent.

This matter is beyond his control. If Letania wants to fight, let them fight it out themselves.

As long as the outcome doesn't disrupt order or the World Summit, that's fine.

Not doing it is also a statement; Ivignad understood Ernst's attitude and didn't say anything more.

As the airship slowly descended, flowers, cheers, and the welcoming music played by the Queen's Orchestra officially began, heralding the start of the international music concert.

[Another grand event!]

Adjust your schedule and ask for a day off.

There's been too much of the underworld lately. Even though I took a nap this afternoon, my head is still throbbing with pain. I've been sleeping and sleeping, and it seems like it's time for me to adjust my sleep schedule again, which is a monthly necessity.

I'm taking a day off today. I'll start updating in the real world tomorrow!

Chapter 782 Jeragand: How to go from being single-minded to being two-faced!

Ernst was not the first foreign guest to arrive in Letania, but he was certainly the most welcomed of all the foreign guests who arrived in Triinttelme.

From the moment he stepped off the airship, the cheers and screams never stopped, even though the plaza where the airship landed was actually cleared, the cheers could still be heard from a great distance.

To some extent, this is enough to show how ridiculous Ivignad's so-called "public opinion storm" is. The sour words of a small group of people cannot affect the overall situation; they don't hate Ernst, they just hate that Ernst didn't even look at them.

Stepping off the airship and into the waiting vehicle, Ivignad even had time to stand beside it and wave to the crowd beyond the police cordon. Ernst, meanwhile, encountered several unexpected old friends in the car.

"Gawain?"

The enormous lion lay sprawled in the corner, seemingly cosplaying as a lion-skin rug. Seeing Ernst get into the car, it lazily opened its eyes and greeted him.

"Long time no see, Ernst."

"How did you all end up here? Ivignad, she... 4... three..."

"Don't worry, she can't see us."

On Gawain's body, a pink sheep, its fur as white as cotton candy, bounced around.

"Those kinds of people have no fun in their eyes, and without fun, they can't see Dolly."

As he spoke, his gaze swept curiously over Ernst, his large, round eyes quickly filling with surprise:

"Hey, Gawain wasn't lying to us. You're way more interesting than those guys. Because of you, I'm starting to look forward to this party!"

Dolly's eyes narrowed, and then, as Ernst was reluctant to say but it really did seem like a spray, a smaller cotton ball was separated from his body.

The cotton ball shook twice, and a tiny black sheep's head emerged from the pink fluff, nodded at Dolly, and then flew to Ernst's side:

"Nice to meet you, here's a small gift."

Ernst was slightly taken aback.

Seeing Gawain and the appearances of the others present, he already had a rough idea of ​​the identities of these creatures.

The Beast Lord, as described by Kal'tsit, is a special kind of life form on the land of Terra.

They still retain the appearance of "animals" in Ernst's memory, but have transcended the natural laws of birth, aging, sickness, and death, becoming "gods" in another sense.

Their strength wasn't great, but what they possessed was a vitality even stronger than that of giant beasts. Moreover, their lifespans could be traced back to the day the Originium descended upon this planet, and no one knew what secrets they possessed.

Kal'tsit initially withheld much information about the Beast Lords from Ernst out of a desire to keep the "history of the pre-civilization" a secret. But now, thanks to her further exploration of the pre-civilization issue, these Beast Lords, barring unforeseen circumstances, might possess even more pre-civilization technology than Agor.

From this perspective, although the strength of the ocean and the land is vastly different, the land is not without a chance of winning.

A more accurate statement is that most of the power on land is concentrated in the hands of individuals, while the power of the sea represents the strength of an entire civilization. In the past, Ernst would certainly have believed that the latter was significantly stronger than the former, but on this land...

No one knows how courageous kings and generals truly are. The premise is that they are genuinely willing to fight for land, rather than simply surrendering and becoming honored guests in Agor.

For example, these beast owners.

Of course, Ernst harbored no ill will towards them. In fact, because of Gawain and Vina's relationship, his goodwill towards the Beast Lord far outweighed his dislike. Dori, in particular, gave him a gift right away, which was far more considerate than Gawain, who had been freeloading in Kjerag.

Ernst watched the cotton lamb fly to his side and then slowly disappear. Without asking what it was, he simply nodded and said: "It's..."

"Thank you."

Then he glanced at Gao Wen.

Gawain, however, showed no sign of blushing. This lion's skin, like Victoria's, was either incredibly thick or practically nonexistent. Seeing Ernst's gaze fall upon him, he made no attempt to ask for additional "food expenses," and instead began his introduction in a serious manner:

"Don't know him? No problem, I'll introduce you."

He propped himself up and lifted Dolly off him, her head disappearing through the roof of the car.

"This one on me, Dolly, is the most mischievous one of us."

"The guy sitting on the sofa wearing sunglasses is the Emperor. He currently manages a logistics company. Your brother must know him well."

The Emperor raised his hand and gave Ernst a casual greeting.

He's putting on airs. Ernst saw right through him!

Strange, I don't think I've offended him.

Ernst, of course, had no idea that this was because of the invitation.

Although Gawain later obtained several invitations from Vina, ultimately, no one had intended to invite the Emperor in the first place.

As a party enthusiast and a Colombian rock 'n' roll penguin, how could he possibly tolerate this kind of American bullying!

He didn't vent his anger on Ernst because he knew it had nothing to do with Ernst. But if you expect him to swallow his anger easily, you'll probably have to wait until Jeragand actually speaks.

"You recognize this one, [Chronology]. That's all there is in this car."

Gawain pointed to the watch on the Emperor's hand fin, and the [Time Sequence] ticked twice in response. Ernst then realized that the remains of this colossal beast had actually become a digital watch!

Wow, they've really kept up with the times!

Ernst greeted the others before turning to Gawain.

He captured the key words in Gao Wenhua's words:

"This is all the amount in this car, does that mean there are more in other cars?"

"That's not the case!"

Before Gawain could answer, Dolly beat him to it.

The Lord of the Sheep's eyes were full of amusement, and he laughed heartily:

"It's been a long time since we've had our entire team assembled like this. We have to thank you for this!"

"I?"

"That's right. If it weren't for you, would we ever have the chance to see a giant beast perform on stage in our lifetime?"

Ernst opened his mouth, took a few seconds to process, and then two words came to mind.

Totally spicy!

International Music Concert, live at the Grand Theater.

Enya brought Ya'er to this magnificent theater.

The Black and Gold Hall—this is the name the Twin Queens gave to this brand-new music hall. Black naturally refers to "ruthless authority," the Black Queen Helena, while gold naturally represents "eternal grace," the White Queen Ivignad.

It's a very simple naming method, but depending on the status of the person giving the name, no one will laugh at how unsophisticated the name is.

Just like the Vienna Golden Hall in Ernst's previous life, the Trilintelme Black Gold Hall may well become a new landmark building in Letania in the future.

The reason Enya and Ya'er came here was naturally to see Lola.

This is a momentous occasion. The Black Gold Hall, a future landmark of Letania and the birthplace and venue for countless timeless classic pieces of music, was designed and built by an engineer from Kjerag.

The engineer's name was Lola.

"The great god Yeragand will see everything you have done; your achievements are enough to make every Sherag person proud. You are a role model for all Sherag youths, Lola!"

Enya's voice was gentle and sincere. Although her words sounded like a slightly exaggerated award speech, they were the saint's true feelings at this moment.

Kjerag is famous for many things today: its scenery, its faith, its food and wine, its tranquility and peace. But when it comes to Kjerag's outstanding talents, many people will say: Ernst Shivaesh.

But is Ernst Shivaesh enough?

Obviously, that's not enough. Even if you add Ensiodis, it's still not enough. They all come from the Shiva's family. People will say that it's because Shiva's family is powerful, and it has little to do with Kherag.
