Chapter 2425 Duke Sim

"This is also a question I really want to know," I said, "It is impossible for such a family to live well without a strong backing that dares to be arrogant and domineering at the foot of the imperial city."

"Well, your analysis is almost complete," the Fairy Queen said, "The backstage of the Marion family is Duke Sim."

"Duke Sim?" I frowned and thought for a moment. The image of an unsmiling, fat old man popped into my mind: "Is it him? The representative of the military's main war faction who controls the military power of sixteen towns?"

"And one of the staunchest royalists," the Fairy Queen added.

"How did such a tycoon get together with the idiot family of Marion?"

"Because he married the eldest daughter of the Marion family as a concubine." The Fairy Queen smiled and revealed the inside story: "When a person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. This newly married concubine is very favored by Duke Sim. Her family is in the moonlight. The status of the city will naturally increase with the improvement of its status."

Holding my chin in distress, I said in a depressed tone, "Well, that means I have no chance to retaliate against him?"

"You little brain, you have been thinking about all this all day long." The Fairy Queen smiled helplessly: "The one who deserves revenge was already retaliated yesterday, wasn't he?"

When I thought of the scene of broken limbs and broken arms all over the ground and blood-stained marble floor tiles, I lost a third of my anger and murmured: "That's right. Those who speak rudely should atone for their sins with their lives. It's just..."

"Just what? The head of the Marion family has surrendered, and his son Marion Dahle has also been imprisoned. I heard that because of yesterday's incident, he was frightened and went crazy. He has been talking nonsense." The Fairy Queen sighed. He shook his head and said, "They have already received the punishment they deserve. If you ask me, forget it."

He curled his lips, a little unhappy, but couldn't point out any problem, so he could only say depressedly: "You can forget it, I don't intend to go into this matter too deeply anyway."

"Haha" the Fairy Queen chuckled, she really didn't believe my nonsense.

The Elf Queen thought for a moment and said softly: "Grandma, although the cause of the incident was caused by the Marion family, after all, it was because the eldest daughter of the Marion family was so pampered and arrogant that it indirectly caused the Marion family to get carried away and forget their own identity and status. Marion The En family’s fault is only secondary, the real fault lies with Duke Sim.”

The Fairy Queen stared at the Elf Queen for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "They say girls are outward-facing, but this is not even married yet, and her elbows are turned outward!"

The Elf Queen's cheeks were flushed and she was very shy.

"Forget it, now that Anastas has spoken, as a grandmother, if I don't do something, won't I be laughed at by my granddaughter and grandson-in-law!"

After a moment of thinking, the Fairy Queen called her maid, prepared pen and paper, and wrote the edict of canonization.

The general content of the imperial edict is as follows: The Duke of Simu taught his concubine improperly, which caused her family to become arrogant and bump into the dwarf princess. In view of the first offense, the prosecution will not be pursued for the time being. If there is a next time, the second offense will be punished simultaneously. However, although the crime is Forgivable, mistakes must be held accountable, so he ordered Duke Sim to fully assist the foreign elders and jointly establish the Japanese Wind Championship to make up for his mistakes.

As soon as the imperial edict came out, Duke Sim and I were tied to the same ship. Our community of interests forced us to unite our front. Even if the flaw of the Marion family was involved, we had to temporarily shake hands and make peace.

Moreover, with the help of a seasoned veteran like Duke Sim who can speak well in the political and military circles, the construction of the Zephyr Championship will be smoother.

After that, the three of us finalized the schedule and arrangements for welcoming the Naga envoy in the palace. The first thing was to receive the envoy. The Elf Queen came forward and personally went to the Moonlight City airship base to greet the envoy. Then she served as the guide. The envoy was led into the palace to meet the Fairy Queen, followed by a short meeting and banquet. During the banquet, the current living conditions of the Naga tribe and the strength of the country were revealed. This was particularly important for the future alliance.

Finally, the two sides will talk about cooperation, development and the future.

At the end of the conversation, the Fairy Queen emphasized to me: "You must come to this meeting!"

"Huh? Aren't there you and Anastas?" I asked in confusion: "Why do I have to be there too?"

"I think you are so used to being undisciplined that you have even forgotten your own identity," the Fairy Queen said seriously, "You are an elder of a foreign race, and you must be present for all matters related to foreign races!"

Intimidated by the Fairy Queen's aura, I muttered, "Okay, I understand, I will definitely be there."

Only then did Grandma Queen restrain her pressure with satisfaction.

After talking for another half an hour, the maid reported that Duke Sim had arrived and was waiting in the front hall.

The Fairy Queen nodded to me and said, "Sim is here. Go meet him and talk about cooperation. Don't screw it up."

"Yes." I stood up, bowed, and then hurriedly stepped back.

When I entered the front hall, I immediately saw a fat old man sitting respectfully on the guest chair, holding a tea cup in his hand, but his mind was not on drinking tea. He looked at the front door from time to time, looking uneasy.

After clearing my throat, I said loudly: "It turns out to be Duke Sim, whom I have admired for a long time! It has been a little over half a month since we last met!"

Duke Sim followed the sound, and when he saw it was me, his stern old face forced an ugly smile, and his voice trembled: "It turns out to be Elder An Xiaoyi. Please forgive my dim eyesight. I didn't notice you just now. I'm sorry." Sin."

I chuckled and said half-jokingly: "Oh no, you are a noble person and your eyes are on the sky. Naturally, you can't see a small role like me."

"What noble man are you?" Duke Sim said with a bitter smile, "I am just a hard-working minister who is loyal to His Majesty."

"A miserable life? You are so good at joking." I shook my head and said, "The title of Moonlight City is extremely noble, and you are a Duke, and you are one of the great dukes. If you think you have a miserable life, we don't have a title. Or maybe the juniors whose titles are not as good as yours, won’t all of them survive?”

Duke Sim looked at me, sighed heavily, and said in a low voice: "My concubine is ignorant and contradicted you. I hope your elders will forgive me."

"It's easy to say. I didn't intend to hold anyone responsible for this matter. It was just a small conflict caused by a ring. Just let it go." When the conversation changed, I felt confused again: "It's just a small conflict." However, you also know that Her Royal Highness the Princess is the most beloved daughter of His Majesty the Dwarf King. If this matter gets to his ears, it will be a bit troublesome."

"Then it will be as you wish, Mr. Elder."

"This matter is difficult to say, but it is also easy to say. In the final analysis, it is a matter of face. As long as you do enough to save face, even if His Majesty the Dwarf King knows about this matter, he will only murmur at most. 'It's outrageous', but I won't get really angry."
