Chapter 207 Conversation with Red

"Your Highness, you seem very... tired."

To the man kneeling on the ground in front of her, Her Royal Highness the Princess nodded: "Yes, a lot has happened in recent days."

Saying this, the eldest princess reached out and rubbed her forehead, showing a very tired look.

However, when she covered her face with her hands, her eyes shone with a different kind of light as she looked at the man.

Red...

The leader of the dragoon regiment, the general of the kingdom...the knight of the red dragon, the peak of the seventh level, half-step and half-god.

He is an indispensable pillar of the kingdom.

"The melting of the fourth annexed city of Fallen Heaven, my sister's rebellion, the restlessness of betrayers and those with ulterior motives."

The eldest princess talked about very dangerous topics, and she pretended to sigh: "These all give me a headache."

Of course, I just talked about it.

After all, the current situation, although in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, is a very high opportunity...

But in reality?

Everything is under the control of the eldest princess.

Well, the premise is of course that my sister, who is the main executor of the plan, and Belxi, the important personnel, do not jump back.

However, the eldest princess is still willing to give them enough trust on this point.

"..."

Red, on the other hand, was silent, as if he was not prepared to respond to the eldest princess's words, until the eldest princess spoke lightly.

"The unrest among the barbarians in the west seems to have eased a bit, right?"

The eldest princess said so.

"!!!"

Immediately, Reid raised his head in astonishment... The eldest princess's words can lead to many kinds of explanations.

for example……

The Dragoon Regiment needs to be transferred back to Europe City, or the Dragoon Regiment’s military expenditures need to be reduced, or other jobs need to be arranged for them.

Either way, it's not good news.

"Even so."

As Red said this, he kept kneeling and looked at the eldest princess who was sitting quietly: "Soldiers need to use this time to recuperate."

Indeed, this is the art of war.

After a fierce confrontation, the barbarians will reduce their attacks and recuperate, and the soldiers also need this time to calm down and train the new recruits.

It seems to be very suitable to describe it as "compromise" and "tacit understanding".

But in fact, even in the process of cultivation, both sides are competing on another level... national power.

Both sides will make good use of funds and national strength to prepare for the next war.

This is a very long process until one party is unable to persist.

Therefore, whether it is to bring back troops or to cut funds, it is absolutely impossible. This reason is very simple.

But the embarrassing thing is...

As Reid, he shouldn't have said this to the eldest princess, even though the eldest princess had not yet proclaimed herself emperor or succeeded to the throne.

"Relax, Reid... I have no intention of dispatching the Dragoon Regiment. Even if the barbarians subside, your garrison is still the key to the kingdom's confidence."

The eldest princess said this, and under Red's somewhat puzzled gaze, she simply said: "But it's time to give young people more opportunities, Red."

"..."

To be honest, the general named Red was completely confused by the eldest princess. He did not understand what the eldest princess meant at all.

"Your Highness the Princess, please make it clear."

The eldest princess sighed without trace, thinking that it would be great if the other party was Bel Xi, and the other party would be able to understand by just giving a hint.

The eldest princess has been ruined by Bel Xi in her life. She cannot deal with serious subordinates. When eating, she always thinks that it would be better if the maid was Bel Xi.

In this way, you can eat what you like when eating without worrying about exposing your preferences and being poisoned.

When giving orders, I always thought that it would be nice if the other party was Bel Xi, so that I could casually discuss things like becoming emperor.

Then when Belsey went to her room to report, she looked at the princess in men's clothes and said, "Oh, that's good."

The eldest princess was thinking something good and asked if she had a good chance to ascend the throne. Belsey was silent for a while and said that he was talking about the eldest princess's figure.

That's pretty much it anyway.

"If the barbarian offensive slows down and no longer puts so much pressure on the western part of the empire, you can choose to come back for a vacation."

The eldest princess said this. Although she said it was [optional], it was actually no longer [suggestion] or [proposal].

"You can leave things in the west to people you trust..."

Regarding the eldest princess's statement, Reid hesitated for a moment and almost understood what she meant: "Is there something important that you want me to do alone?"

"indeed so."

The eldest princess said, without saying too much, but simply nodded and ordered: "Now that you are here, don't go back to the front line. Ask someone to bring a letter to your cronies."

Relinquish military power? Or... no, no, that's not the case.

No...the target is not me.

Reid judged this. While nodding his head, he thought silently... Although he is a martial artist, it is true.

But now that he has taken the position of general, he cannot be just a simple warrior.

The eldest princess's actions must be to get something and achieve some results, but it seems to have nothing to do with Red himself.

In other words, Red's existence is just a knife for cutting meat. He is not the only one with such a knife, so what is the meat he wants to cut?

Reid didn't know this.

"So, what exactly do I need to do? Your Highness, Princess?"

Regarding Red's words, the eldest princess felt a little more relaxed: "You don't need to do anything, just do what you want to do."

But all he wanted to do was get back to the front lines.

Red muttered in his heart, but he understood what the eldest princess meant and nodded gently... he had some answers in his mind.

In other words, Red returned to Ounei City and did not return to the front line. In the eyes of the eldest princess, his goal was actually achieved.

Increasing [Princess]'s bargaining chip...maybe more than that, but it is definitely part of the purpose.

So, since there is a [big princess], there must be...

[The other side] That’s it.

There is no doubt that she is the [Third Princess].

But to be honest, judging from Red's selfishness... he actually doesn't want to see Violet's royal family killing each other.

"Your Highness the Princess, forgive me for asking...how do you plan to treat your biological sister? How will you treat Your Highness the Third Princess?"

"..."

After the eldest princess was briefly obsessed, she gave a meaningful answer: "Why do you say that? Our relationship is very good, as always."

Even though he said that, everyone in Ounei City now knows...

The third princess has thoughts of rebellion and has already assembled the [Anti-Princess Faction] troops from various places in her own territory.

Such concealment seems to be meaningless.

Reid judged this, nodded and prepared to leave, then... suddenly thought of something and looked at the eldest princess.

As always...?
