MTL - Please Sink In Happiness-Chapter 248
At that time, this war took away the lives of many people and completely turned the civilization of Xizhou into ruins. Taking this war as an opportunity, King Louis XIV of Shengluer also became a "pendant" on the street lamps a few years later.
The TV screen was lit up, and the mobilization of the various countries had reached the final stage. Every soldier held his head high and dignified.
"The war is only grand at the beginning, but everything after that is only hell."
Demi suddenly remembered Li Zijin's words, and it was later proved that the war between the Shengluer Kingdom and the Azure Empire was indeed only at the moment before the war, and the people's enthusiasm for the war was unprecedentedly high.
But with the continuation of the war, the war weariness of the people is also rising.
The essence of war is the interests of politics and capital, and in the end, innocent civilians always pay the bill.
"When will you understand that the best solution for this assessment is not to conquer the opponent's country, but to try to stop this war."
Chapter 27 Gala to improve relations between the two countries
Three days before the start of the war, the king of the Beihai Parliamentary Kingdom visited the Kingdom of Shengluer. He is a stable and mature king. Although he is not a prosperous king under his rule, the people can still barely survive. king.
Among the entourage of the King of the North Sea Parliamentary State, Prince Langton, Prince Langton's younger brother, and the students of the North Sea Parliamentary State also followed behind the king.
"This country is a **** stick," Louis XIV said to Ivy privately. "When a country is strong, it will unite with another country to suppress it, and vice versa. If there was no North Sea Parliamentary State, the Western Continent would have long been It is unified like the Dongzhou Continent, and now the ambition of the Azure Empire can no longer be hidden, this group of cerebral palsy thinks of us, but in order for us to achieve the final victory, we must accept the alliance."
Louis XIV's usual sunny expression disappeared completely, replaced by haze.
"But sooner or later, I will trample the North Sea Parliament with my boots and make this country disappear from the world forever."
Ivy could see that Louis XIV's disgust for the North Sea Parliamentary State was no less than that of the Azure Empire. In history, there have been many wars between the two countries, and countless people have died because of wars over the years.
Originally, Ivy planned to persuade Louis XIV not to put on a face of national hatred and family hatred to face the comrades who were going to fight in a trench next, but the next second she found that she didn't have to persuade Louis XIV at all.
"Welcome, Your Majesty Edward!"
Louis XIV's handsome face was like the sun in the sky, his short blond hair was clean and neat, and he took every step with enthusiasm.
Once put on the mask, Louis XIV is the best actor, no one can pierce his acting skills.
"I didn't expect that the nephew, who was regarded as a **** in the past, was better at running the country than his father, who was called a hero."
The king of the North Sea Parliamentary State stroked his beard lightly, looking amiable, yet majestic.
Although the two countries have had a feud, the Elba family of the Shengluer royal family and the Copenhagen family of the North Sea Parliament have entered into a marriage, so they are distant relatives.
"Landon, Pierre, if you two can be as good as Louis, then after I die, the country can rest assured to hand over to you."
Prince Langton and his younger brother Pierre nodded together and said hello to Louis XIV, who also greeted them cheerfully before inviting them into the palace.
Ivy found that the specifications that Louis XIV greeted them did not seem grand. When Miss Ivy and the students of Shengluer Kingdom traveled to this world together, the greetings were far more enthusiastic than they are now.
"We meet again, Ivy."
Prince Langton smiled kindly.
However, Avril ignored him, passed him by, and shook hands with his younger brother instead.
"Hello, Prince Pierre."
"Hello…"
Prince Pierre is a shy little fat man. He doesn't seem to be very good at diplomatic occasions. He always keeps his head down and agrees.
The future throne of the North Sea Parliamentary State is almost 100% owned by Prince Langton, but compared to Prince Langton, Pierre has an indescribable sense of intimacy. Although he is always not good at words, he gives A very sincere feeling.
After all the members were present, the banquet officially began.
The students of the Shengluer Kingdom and the Beihai Parliamentary Kingdom were staggering together at this banquet, and they did not expect that each other would become allies because of an academy assessment.
Prince Langton walked into the group of students generously, friendly and enthusiastic, and the students who had been prejudiced against Prince Langton also accepted Prince Langton again.
"Come on, cheers, Your Highness Langton! After this glass of wine, we are friends!"
"No problem, it's a great honor for me to be friends with you! But in the future, I have to pay attention, don't call me His Highness Langton again, just call me Langton, that's how cordial."
Seeing that Langton and the students of the Shengluer Kingdom quickly became one, the students of the Beihai Parliamentary Kingdom also fully integrated into the banquet. They seemed to have forgotten their feud, holding high champagne and eating delicious food together. Dancing to the music.
"Your Majesty, is it really good to go on like this?"
Under the extravagant banquet, Ivy felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
In Ivy's view, maintaining such a state is not suitable for the next war.
"Ivy, war is to be fought, but diplomacy is also to be engaged in. Now our country has not been fully mobilized, and the war will never be able to resist the invasion of the Azure Empire, so we must rely on the strength of our allies."
"They are very drunk, what if the Azure Empire starts a war today?"
"Then shrink the defense line. With Marshal De Gaulle on the front line, you can rest assured. The main task now is to improve the relationship with the North Sea Parliamentary State."
"Can a relationship improve with just a feast?"
"Yes, because they also want to improve our relationship with us, and they want us to lose both with the Azure Empire, just like in the past."
At this time, Edward VIII kindly shouted the name of Louis, and Louis rushed over with a glass of wine. The old king and the young king talked and laughed together, a harmonious scene.
But in the crisp sound of their wine glasses colliding, Ivy heard the voice of "interest".
Suddenly, Ivy heard a sigh.
Following that sigh, Ivy saw Prince Pierre.
Because he is a little fat, he is always alone in social banquets, and no one wants to approach him, because everyone knows that the future king is Prince Langton, and everyone knows that Pierre has no social value with him. , and there are very few people who even say hello to him.
"Are you sighing for not having a dance partner?"
Ivy asked suddenly.
Prince Pierre shook his head.
"What's that for?"
"Because it feels like a war is about to take place, and once the war is fought, many people will die. I don't want people to die."
"But war is inevitable."
"That's why I sigh, if I were the king, I would do my best to prevent this war from happening."
"By the way, what do you think of Li Zijin, the leader of the international column?"
"I think he's a great hero, but when I think he's going to overthrow the imperial power, I'm afraid of being killed by them."
"Li Zijin won't kill someone like you."
"Yeah, he has been executed by Queen Olina of the Azure Empire..."
"What did you say?" Ivy's expression seemed to be petrified.
"Today's newspaper said that he was captured alive by Queen Olina not long ago and was hanged in the square of the Azure Empire. It's a pity."
Chapter 28 Childhood Friends
After the banquet, the students of Shengluer Kingdom and Beihai Parliamentary Kingdom seemed to have become inseparable communities at this moment. Due to the too openness of the Western Continent civilization, after the chaotic dance party ended, some male and female students from the two countries They even walked together and walked towards the big hotel near the palace, singing their youth under the ambiguous neon lights.
But Ivy was the only one who kept her face stiff.
Today, the Azure Empire may launch a war against the Kingdom of Shengluer at any time. Secondly, Prince Pierre, the younger brother of Prince Langton, told Ivy the bad news that Li Zijin was caught by Princess Olina and hanged. Regarding this matter, Ivy took out the newspaper of the day, and sure enough, found the headline about Li Zijin's execution in the most eye-catching position of the layout.
"Miss, are you alright..."
Charlene asked with a slight bow.
"I'm fine. In my opinion, Li Zijin is absolutely impossible to fear death, and it is even less likely that he will be incontinent before execution. Dead audience, but the damned newspaper editor for some purpose, so slandered him."
"You look terribly pale, and I know you must have a hard time accepting this."
"What's unacceptable," Ivy pretended to be relaxed, "Anyway, this is not the real world. In the real world, Li Zijin is still alive and well. Although they have lost their freedom, Ya Yinyue and the others really love them. his."
Charena looked at Miss Ivy's calm expression, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Actually, in your heart, you must be looking forward to meeting him again in the secret world, right?"
"I don't deny that."
"However, he was executed." Charena sighed.
"But that's fine, he was executed by Olina, so I can finally stop putting up with Olina. To be honest, I did think I was ashamed of Olina in the past, so I am She can be considered forbearance in every possible way, but she went so far as to kill my favorite man in the secret world, and no matter what, I will do my best to crush her completely, and there will be no more hesitation."
Obviously no flames appeared, but the temperature of the room continued to rise.
Miss Ivy seems to be really angry, her golden eyes are filled with purgatory flames.
Although this world is a secret world created by assessment, Li Zijin's death deeply affected Ivy.
Late at night, Ivy tossed and turned in bed, unable to get herself to sleep no matter what.
The thought of Li Zijin's death and being hanged by Olina made her heart skip a beat.
If one day in the future, Li Zijin falls into the hands of Olina and is killed by her in this way, then Ivy thinks that she will regret it too much.
"plum…"
The rich fruit was on the pillow, she closed her eyes and hugged the pillow, trying to use the pillow as a plum.
That night, the man who had no way to escape in her arms is no longer around, but the longer the world is separated, the more she misses Li Zijin.
The fateful battle of nations, the death of a loved one, and past friendships.
All will be destroyed.
Unconsciously, it was dawn, and Ivy's sleepiness finally struck.
In her dream, she was twelve years old.
That year, the relationship between the Shengluer Kingdom and the North Sea Parliamentary Kingdom was justified. At a grand banquet, Ivy saw a purple-haired girl of the same age as her at the dining table.
She is Olina.
At that time, Olina was far less gloomy than she is now. She was cheerful and lively, smiling like a lark.
The maids around her took care of her dotingly. Although Olina's parents were no longer there, and her siblings didn't care much about her sister, she was not lacking in affection.
"Are you Ivy?"
Olina took the initiative to say hello to Ivy.
Twelve-year-old Olina looked like a delicate porcelain doll, dazzling in her pale blue Lolita dress.
Twelve-year-old Ivy prefers military uniforms. At that time, she wore a specially customized military-style uniform, which looked very heroic.
"Hello, Princess Olina."
Ivy, who was born in the Marquis family of Shengluer Kingdom, naturally had no good face towards the princess of the country who had a feud, but Olina was always smiling.
"I feel your expression is a little cold, why don't you just smile?"
"Although we can attend the banquet together now, war will break out again in our country sooner or later, and so much blood debt will end in the destruction of one of the countries. Those adults seem to be very harmonious now, but they curse each other behind their backs. "Ivy's golden eyes looked at Olina, who was the same age. "Then how much sincerity is there under your smile?"
"Of course it is 100% sincerity. I hope that the hatred between the two countries can be completely resolved in our generation. If I become the queen of the empire in the future, and you become the female marshal of the kingdom, we can work together to make the war completely disappear from the Western Continent. "
Ivy was amused by Olina's simplicity.
"what's so funny?"
"Whether it is an empire or a kingdom, war or peace does not depend on the few, but on the majority, the families of the two countries, the civilians of the two countries, and the interests of the two countries that drive the two countries to fight each other. , this is the law of the jungle that my father taught me."
"I don't think so. If we all become great people in the future, we can lead our country to respect each other."
Obviously the same age, but Ivy felt that Olina was so childish and ridiculous.
But in the end, she still reached out:
"Ivy Sylph Lianqing."
"My name is Olina Brandenburg, nice to meet you. Can you be my model later? I want to paint a portrait of you."
"sure."
The two twelve-year-old girls eventually became friends at that banquet.
After the banquet, the two girls of noble birth still exchange letters. Sometimes, Ivy will also receive a painting of Princess Olina. At first, her painting level was not high, but as time went on, Olin The paintings sent by Princess Na are getting more and more beautiful.
It wasn't until two years later that the friendship broke down completely due to an accident.
However, in Miss Ivy's mansion, there are still many letters and oil paintings that they exchanged during childhood.
"Miss Ivy, are you awake, do you want to eat something first?"
When Ivy woke up again, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw Charena standing on the head of her bed.
