Chapter 282

"Olfirus... I have to doubt the legitimacy of your purpose. The decision you made makes me unable to be sure that you are indeed gaining an advantage on the battlefield for the principality and the empire."

Grand Duke Novak commented in this way. He seemed to be a young man, and he was talking to the girl at the window of the carriage that was driving side by side, but the words were actually very tactful... because Orfirus once made a [ Do what it (Ira) likes] strategy.

Naming the strategy after the rules of [Lolita Warfare]... This is actually not a problem, there is no harm in the attempt, it's just a [free lottery] thing, even the kind of lottery that doesn't even need to fill in the name.

It's okay if it works, and it's okay if it doesn't.

It should be like this, as long as the [loli] in it is not Orpheus herself...

"..."

On the other hand, Orfirus didn't care at all. She didn't wear her beautiful and noble speaker's costume at the moment, but changed into a suit that could be called simple.

Of course, the [simplicity] here is only the simplicity seen from the perspective of princes and nobles. From the perspective of ordinary commoners and even knights, it is enough to be called gorgeous and unusual.

"Do you think I can't be called a loli?"

Regarding the words of the loli who is at least a few hundred years old, Novak shook his head sighing, and said: "Perhaps your appearance is still a bit mature, but Ira and I haven't communicated to that level yet, so I can't be sure of his Preference...and that's why."

It is precisely because of this that Novak reluctantly approves of Orfi Ruth's whimsy. Of course...his vote of approval is quite against his will. He still thinks it is too childish.

So much so that he really doubted whether this guy, Orpheus, wanted to establish an advantage, or was simply interested in Ira. According to his rationality, it was the former, but... the latter was too bad, let him It is impossible not to think about it.

"I didn't necessarily want to seduce Ira Alcaras, so there's no need to be so worried."

As Orfirus said, the girl simply crossed her legs, leaned on the sofa behind her carriage, and said, "You can treat me as a pretty-looking lobbyist..."

That's not a problem, but Orfirus seems to have something to say.

Sure enough, under the gaze of Novak, Orfirus continued what she said before, and said: "Or, a nobleman who is very interested in Ira Alcaras."

Such rhetoric is too dangerous, so dangerous that Novak must remind...

"You are in a dangerous enough situation now, don't do more dangerous things."

Novak had to speak more seriously, in order to dissuade Orfi Ruth's playfulness, he said: "If you really admire Ira, then I won't stop you...but if you think he will Played in the palm of your hand like those stupid sirs."

Novak paused for a while when he said this. He originally wanted to say [The Principality will be harmed by you], but he felt that this kind of rhetoric was too weird, so he made it a bit vague: "Then, you will bear all the responsibilities yourself. , I and all the other congressmen did not participate in it."

The effect of these words is much better than words such as "The principality will be implicated by you"... This is already a very clear statement, and Orfirus has to be serious.

To be honest, although she knew that Ira had outrageous power, she still estimated in her mind that she was [the actual controller of more than half of the power in the empire] and [one of the strongest people in the legend]. Too outrageous to imagine.

However, with Novak's seriousness and earnestness, it was difficult for her not to calm down a little bit because of his words.

"It sounds like you think highly of Ira Alcaraz."

Regarding Orfirus' words, Novak just glanced at her, and responded: "At least not low, Orfirus...you will understand when you meet Ira, he is smarter than you. "

What she said made Orfirus, who thought highly of herself, frowned.

Knowing this, Novak shook his head, and he said simply: "At least Ira won't be affected by the mood of [refusing to admit defeat] like a child in his heart. If you want to compare with him, you At least clarify your purpose first."

own purpose...

"We are asking for Iraq. We won't get much benefit from the war with the empire. Although we won't be defeated, this is already an [extra problem]. I have no intention of rejecting this gamble, but other MPs don't think so."

As Novak said, he looked at Orfirus who was sighing, and said calmly: "The existence of the parliament is doomed to the meaning of your order, Orfirus...you are no longer the queen, You, the speaker, can't mobilize everyone with a single order."

This is the pros and cons of the parliamentary system. If you enjoy the benefits of prosperity, you will naturally have to bear the other end of prosperity.

"Those were within my expectations, but I really didn't expect... Duke Zenani also planned to leave."

Novak was not at all surprised by Orfirus' words. He showed a sneer and said, "It's strange for a blood race not to be afraid of the empire. She didn't surrender just because the empire can't tolerate monsters."

Novak knew this a long time ago, and perhaps Orfirus knew it too, but she just couldn't think of it...Zenani is not even willing to pay any military expenses, nor is she willing to participate in the distribution of benefits from the war.

"No need to say much, just need Iraq's party to withdraw from the imperial battlefield, and everything will be fine."

Orfirus said so, she closed her eyes lightly, took a nap, and said: "If Ira didn't have such intentions, it's not that I can't use my cards to shake the situation of the empire... It's just more troublesome .”

I hope so...

Novak, who thinks so, can only hope for this.

Orpheus: What? Ira isn't there? ! The devil is out too? ! How can the king of a country run around? What about proxies? Who is the acting devil king in the devil kingdom?

Youyou: Well, the Demon King’s Territory doesn’t need that kind of thing... Then, do I need to pass on something to Mr. Ira? Or, your caravan will temporarily stay in the Demon King for a while.

Orpheus: I'm convinced, I'm really convinced...Okay, stay! we live! We wait slowly for Ira Alcaraz to come back!

Senata: In addition, what you said before, the stable trade route between the Principality and the Demon King, also needs to be considered after discussions between Mr. Ira and the Demon King... The war between the Empire and the Principality requires us to take it seriously.

Orpheus: ...

Novak: Ha, I'm so deflated, I'm happy.
