Chapter 105 Her Majesty the Queen

In the last month of 3874 in the continental calendar, the situation in the Kingdom of Lampari took another surprising turn.

On December 3, Duke Stark suddenly issued a public statement, expressing his surrender to Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny, recognizing Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny's succession to the throne, and supporting her to become the next Her Majesty Queen of the Lampari Kingdom.

On December 8, Her Royal Highness Princess Seweney led a private guard into the Stark family's private domain and accepted Duke Stark's surrender.

On December 9, Duke Stark was found committing suicide by poisoning himself in his bedroom.

On December 10, Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny issued a statement stating that the crimes committed by the Duke of Starr are unforgivable. The Stark family participated in the rebellion and also committed major crimes. The kingdom made an outstanding contribution and decided to forgive some of the crimes committed by the Stark family.

After half a month of trials, the Kingdom Council finally declared all eleven leaders of the Stark family, including Duke Stark x-on:无x-on:问x-on:.s., as well as some of the nobles who also participated in the rebellion as rebels. A serious crime punishable by death.

At the same time, the Kingdom Council confiscated most of the territories of the nobles who participated in the rebellion headed by the Stark family, but to everyone's surprise, they did not put these families to death, but left some blood for them. Let it keep the blood of the family alive. Even the Kingdom Council left some territories and properties to these families to ensure that even if they could no longer enjoy the glory in the kingdom as before, they would still be able to live comfortably, and their living conditions were still far superior to those of ordinary civilians.

This fate. For those families who participated in the great crime of rebellion. already extremely superior.

So within the Kingdom of Lampari. Many people highly praised Her Royal Highness Seweini's kindness, and some newspapers even declared that Her Royal Highness Seweini was the most benevolent and wise king in the history of the Kingdom of Lampari.

Her Majesty Queen Seweni will definitely lead the Lampari Kingdom to become stronger quickly.

Of course, some people disapproved of Seweney's benevolent treatment of those traitors.

Xu Yi is one of them.

"Although it is a benevolent way to preserve the blood of those nobles, doesn't this obviously leave them with the possibility of revenge in the future?". Xu Yi looked at the big red invitation card in his hand, frowned and said to the envoy sent by Seweini. "Don't Her Royal Highness understand this truth?"

The messenger replied with a smile: "Of course your Highness understands this, but His Highness is considering the stability of the kingdom. That's why you accept this condition." "I knew it was for this reason." Xu Yi shrugged to express his understanding.

In fact, it was not impossible for Xu Yi to understand Seweini's actions.

If Seweini is given enough time and conditions, Xu Yi believes that no matter how kind-hearted and merciful she is, she will never be merciful to these nobles who participated in the rebellion.

This kind of thing is not a personal grievance, but a major event related to the survival of the entire Lampari Kingdom, and there is no room for any kindness.

Sevini's doing this is undoubtedly to quell the civil strife in the Lampari Kingdom as soon as possible, so that the Lampari Kingdom will suffer the smallest loss, so as to avoid serious damage to its vitality. Being taken advantage of by others.

According to intelligence, the Kingdom of Sark has been strengthening its military strength on the northern border. It is obvious that they are eyeing the Kingdom of Lampari.

If the civil strife in the Kingdom of Lampari lasts too long, causing the entire kingdom to fall into chaos and its national power to drop sharply, then the Kingdom of Sark will definitely choose to take advantage of this golden opportunity to invade without hesitation.

If this happens, the situation of the Lampari Kingdom is really in jeopardy.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Seweney chose to negotiate with Duke Stark when he had an absolute advantage, and finally accepted the surrender with some favorable conditions.

Although this will leave some hidden dangers in the Lampari Kingdom, it is not worth mentioning at all compared to the current crisis that the Kingdom is facing.

Seeing that Xu Yi seemed to have recovered from deep thinking, the messenger quickly pointed to the invitation with an extremely exquisite cover in Xu Yi's hand, and said cautiously: "President Xu, since you have read this invitation, then when the time comes Please go to Anweimar as promised, His Highness will be very happy to see you."

Xu Yi looked down at the invitation in his hand.

The content of this invitation is to invite Xu Yi to go to Anvimar City, the capital of the Kingdom of Lampari, on December 25th, the day when the legendary god was born, to attend the coronation ceremony of Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny and witness with her own eyes. Become the new Her Majesty the Queen of the Lampari Kingdom.

Whether it is because of the personal relationship between Sevini and Xu Yi, or because of the strong support of Seweini from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is only natural for Seweini to send this invitation to Xu Yi, and it is based on the actions of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to quell the civil strife in the kingdom. A major contribution, Xu Yi can even be regarded as one of the final guests at the coronation ceremony.

However, after Xu Yi pondered for a moment, he shook his head: "No, this is the coronation ceremony of Her Majesty the Queen, and I, an ordinary businessman, am not qualified to participate."

The envoy was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, President Xu, you are a distinguished guest invited by His Royal Highness, how could you be ineligible? You see, the signature on this invitation was written by His Highness himself .Besides you, there are only less than ten other invitations that will be signed by His Highness himself, which shows your important position in His Highness's mind. If you are not qualified to participate, there are too many people who are not qualified to participate in this ceremony !"

Xu Yi smiled and continued to shake his head: "Please tell Her Royal Highness for me, although I really want to witness her ascension to the throne with my own eyes, but I really can't spare the time that day, please apologize to her for me."

The envoy frowned: "President Xu, do you have anything more important than attending His Majesty's coronation ceremony?"

Xu Yi glanced at him and said indifferently: "This has nothing to do with you."

The envoy was choked up, feeling a little angry in his heart, but thinking of what Her Royal Highness Princess Seweni had explained before he came, he could only endure it and continue to persuade Xu Yi.

However, Xu Yi seemed to have made up his mind. No matter what he says. Just refuse to agree.

See Xu Yi is extremely determined. In the end, the envoy had no choice but to sigh: "President Xu, Your Royal Highness is very much looking forward to your being able to witness her coronation ceremony. She told me that without your support and encouragement, she would never have become Her Majesty the Queen of the Lampari Kingdom. So she very much hopes to be able to ascend the throne under your own eyes. If you don't go, she will be very disappointed."

"As I said, I really hope to witness this great moment with my own eyes. But..." Xu Yi frowned suddenly. After thinking for a while, sighed, and continued: "Okay, I won't tell those useless lies. Tell Her Royal Highness for me, and say that the reason why I don't want to participate in her coronation ceremony is that once she becomes I want to go to Her Majesty, such a good friend as her. If I don’t go, I can still lie to myself.”

The messenger looked at Xu Yi in astonishment.

From what Xu Yi said, he could tell that the personal relationship between Xu Yi and Her Royal Highness Princess Seweni was probably much deeper than what he had thought before.

otherwise. Xu Yi certainly would not have such emotion.

And recalling the expression of His Royal Highness when Xu Yi was mentioned every time, a trace of shock suddenly flashed across the messenger's face.

Could it be that...Her Royal Highness actually has a relationship with Xu Yi...that goes far beyond friendship?

Xu Yi didn't know that the envoy's thoughts had gone far. After a pause, he continued sternly: "In addition, tell Her Royal Highness for me. Just say that no matter what, my support for her will not change, and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's support for the Lampari Kingdom will not change. Wait until the kingdom After the situation is stabilized, we will have many opportunities to meet in the future, so she doesn't have to be too disappointed."…

The messenger gave Xu Yi a strange look, stopped persuading him, and discussed some other details with Xu Yi before announcing his departure.

Seeing the back of the envoy leaving, Xu Yi couldn't help but sighed again.

Whether he is willing or not, since Sevini has really become Her Majesty the Queen of the Lampari Kingdom, the relationship between the two can no longer be as pure as when she was just a Queen.

The deeper the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom, the more involved, the more complicated the relationship between the two will be.

In the end, it is an anomaly that the two can maintain the most basic friendship.

This is not something that the two can decide on their own, because behind them are the Lampari Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which also carry the expectations of countless people.

Thinking of all kinds of complicated situations that may arise in the future, Xu Yi smiled wryly, shook his head vigorously, and threw out all these negative emotions, and focused his thoughts on another matter that is more crucial to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. .

The situation of the Lampari Kingdom was resolved in less than three months, and now the entire Lampari Kingdom has gradually stabilized under Seweni's sudden burst of strength and ability.

The Principality of Standing is just the opposite.

The crazy expansion of Lord Weilun in the north of the Duchy of Standing finally triggered a rebound from other noble lords.

In the central part of the Principality of Standing, a lord adjacent to the latest piece of territory seized by Lord Weilun suddenly joined forces with three other lords to attack Weilun with all his strength before Lord Weilun gained a firm foothold in the newly occupied territory. Lord Lun.

The subordinates of these four lords also have some military magic machines purchased from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Although the individual combat power is not as good as that of Lord Weilun's subordinates for the time being, the difference is almost the same, and the number of them is more than half. So the two sides started fighting, because Lord Weilun's foothold was not stable, and the supplies could not be replenished quickly, so they finally retreated.

This is the first time Lord Weilun has lost a battle since he started attacking other lords.

After the failure, Lord Weilun was furious, and went directly to Xu Yi, and made a clear request to Xu Yi, demanding that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should not sell military magic machines to other lords in the Duchy of Standing.

Otherwise, he will take back the private territory that was previously divided to Xu Yi, and take all the properties of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as his own.

Xu Yi didn't immediately agree to his request, but he didn't refuse immediately either.

However, Lord Weilun didn't intend to give Xu Yi more time to think about it, and gave him three days to think it over.

Xu Yi is now seriously considering this issue.

If Lord Weilun's request is agreed, it means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will fully support Lord Weilun, and it is equivalent to putting the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the opposite side of all the other lords in the Principality of Standing, and it will even arouse the dissatisfaction of Grand Duke Standing.

But if you don't agree, you have to face the wrath of Lord Weilun.

Lord Velen's threat was no joke.

Xu Yi has been thinking about this issue since he accepted Lord Weilun's ultimatum the day before yesterday, and he has been thinking about it for two full days. During this period, he has considered all the gains and losses clearly, and now he only owes a final decision.

Originally, Xu Yi was still a little hesitant, but after receiving the news from the envoy that Seweni was about to be crowned, it seemed as if a door opened in his heart.

"I've backed down long enough, this time... I'm afraid I can't back down again."
