The Original Vampire

"...that's probably what happened."

In the room that had become a mess in the fight just now, Colin told Marquis Garcia and Queen Midella about the agreement he had reached with Duke St. Grian.

"I think this is the best solution at the moment!" Queen Midella said immediately.

She did not agree to force Gregory to abdicate from the beginning, thinking that this would cause a huge disaster, so she decisively left Dragon City, preparing to avoid this seemingly inevitable storm.

But now, the early intervention of the Duke of St. Grian has turned things around a bit.

However, Marquis Garcia was obviously not satisfied with this condition, and at this time his expression was still cold and silent.

Obviously, as Vera's father, Marquis Garcia is more determined than anyone to avenge his daughter.

"Garcia!" Queen Midella persuaded again, "We just let Gregory go temporarily. The Duke of St. Grian has made a promise that as long as the orc empire is defeated, the current crisis will be solved. An urgent crisis, she is willing to join us in the liquidation of Gregory!

So, for the sake of the empire, can't you just endure a little longer? "

Marquis Garcia finally raised his head, looked at his sister, and said, "If I say no, do you think I'm not rational enough?"

Queen Midella wanted to avoid this question, but after thinking about it, she said frankly:

"Garcia, you are really not rational in this matter. You must know that the core of politics is compromise..."

"I really don't know much about politics." Marquis Garcia interrupted indifferently, "but years of battlefield experience have taught me a truth - fighter planes are always fleeting, and if they miss this time, they may be lost completely. Opportunity to defeat the enemy."

Queen Midella defended: "The political arena and the battlefield are different..."

"How much difference can there be?" Marquis Garcia retorted firmly, "Can you guarantee that the Duke of St. Grian will keep his promise in the future?

Even if she is willing to fulfill her promise, how can you know if she will die in this war?

Even if she is not dead, she is willing to abide by her promise, but after this war, the Western Region will inevitably be ruined. Does she still have the energy to help us again?

The East is on our side now, but after this war?

The lord power will be hit hard in this war,

But the church will not lose much, and even Gregory will take advantage of this war when the lords are too busy to expand the church's power.

By then, the situation in the Empire will be completely changed. Are you sure you can still liquidate Gregory smoothly?

And, if we come to a settlement with the church now, we will never be able to fight Gregory again on this ground.

If we miss this great opportunity, we may miss the best opportunity to defeat Gregory forever.

I really don’t understand politics, but I know that on the battlefield, wasting fighters is equivalent to giving up hope of victory, because the enemy will not wait for you to find fighters again, they are also constantly looking for your weaknesses, waiting for them When you find it, you won't show mercy! "

Queen Midella opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to refute Marquis Garcia for a while.

Seeing this, Colin sighed secretly.

He knew that the only thing that could make Marquis Garcia change his mind at this time was the news that Vera had already woken up.

Therefore, Colin had no choice but to say:

"His Royal Highness Queen, Lord Marquis, there is actually a piece of news that I have been hiding from you..."

"what?"

Colin touched the tip of his nose and said frankly, "The Duke of Saint Hilde has actually woken up..."

"what?!"

Marquis Garcia and Queen Midella exclaimed in unison, and at the same time looked at Colin with bright eyes, trying to confirm that he was not joking.

Colin smiled with a guilty conscience and explained: "Of course I didn't mean to hide the two of you, but when the Duke woke up, we had already declared war on Gregory. The breath he just mentioned was completely let out.

There is no reason for us to unite the lords and people of the north, and there is no reason to force the church to make concessions.

So, after taking it all into consideration, I concealed the news.

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you..."

After speaking, Colin immediately bowed deeply, but even if he lowered his head, he could feel Marquis Garcia's fiery gaze shooting straight at the back of his head, as if to burn a hole in it...

Queen Midella giggled: "Count Angele, you're playing really beautifully!"

"Where, where..." Colin said with a smile, "I am also preventing the situation from really getting out of control, and this news can save it.

Now that the army of the Orc Empire has officially dispatched troops, it is not appropriate for us to entangle with the church.

And with the mediation of the Duke of St. Grian, I think we should indeed switch to a more peaceful strategy..."

"Indeed." Queen Midella swept away the gloom before, and the whole person was refreshed, "Garcia, since Vera is fine, you don't need to be so anxious to seek revenge for Gregory, right?"

Marquis Garcia glared at Colin, and did not answer Queen Midella's question, but the aura of the whole person had subsided a lot, and the silence he showed at this time was actually a kind of acquiescence.

Colin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, this time we are also forced by the situation. Let Gregory be spared for the time being, but we will definitely settle the account with him in the future."

Queen Midella held her cheeks in her hands and added: "However, I think Garcia's point of view is indeed justified. Even if we let Gregory go for the time being, we can't condone him when he is about to break out. During the Orc War, he took the opportunity to develop the power of the Church, and even deliberately sabotaged it to hold him back."

Colin thought for a while and said, "We can also pull the church into this war. For example, the Knights Templar can ask the army under the control of the church to follow the imperial army to the west for support."

Queen Midella frowned and said with some worry: "This is a good way to pull the church into the water, but the question is, if the North has offended Gregory so much this time, will he be so embarrassed that he will let the Templars get angry. Did the regiment do some irrational behavior at a critical moment?"

Colin smiled lightly, revealing eight white teeth, and said, "Don't worry, as long as the Knights Templar go out, I will have a way to deal with them!"

Queen Midella looked at Colin who was full of confidence, and smiled: "Okay, you are an expert on the battlefield, so let's do it. The two conditions you asked the Duke of St. Grian to convey before, the Northland Diocese Independence should be no problem, no matter how unwilling Gregory is, it is estimated that he can only agree with his nose.

But it would be difficult to ask him to publicly apologize, after all, it would have a devastating blow to his personal authority and even the prestige of the church.

Therefore, when the formal negotiation comes, we can exchange this condition for the Knights Templar to go out with the army, presumably Gregory should not object. "

"Okay." Colin nodded, then realized something and said, "His Royal Highness, it seems that you don't plan to return to Winter City, right?"

"I won't go back." Queen Midella gave Colin a charming look, "Since Vera has woken up, I don't need to take care of her anymore."

Colin smiled rightly, and secretly complained in his heart——

You feel that the danger has been lifted, so you are reluctant to leave the political center of the empire.
