Chapter 164 Dadamir in trouble
Edward II is now very afraid of waking up in the morning. Once he opens his eyes, it means countless mouths waiting for him to feed.

After inheriting the throne for more than 20 years, there have been many storms and waves, but it has never been as painful as this time.

Dadamir is just a small country. Relying on domestic mines and the fishery of Emerald Lake, although it is not rich, it can live a leisurely life.

The two-year drought would not have pushed Dadamir to a desperate situation, but before, in order to compete for fishery resources with several countries around the Emerald Lake, there were several frictions, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, natural disasters and man-made disasters , and made it into the current situation.

The meeting room of the Kingdom Castle.

"Father, Earl Hardy sent a request for help, saying that the phenomenon of people starving to death in the territory has gradually become serious. I hope to get 15 pounds of rye, or wheat bran and bean skins... Baron Hardy, Sandia The Baron also..."

Edward quietly listened to all the reports from his daughter Anisa, then straightened his body leaning against the handle of the chair, and sighed, "How much more food can we get?"

"Even if all of them are taken out, it's still not enough, not to mention the capital and surrounding territories are already very difficult."

Anisa is 19 years old this year, and she is already able to help her father with some government affairs. There is also an older brother, Victor, who has now personally gone to Thunder City to ask Tulum for help.

In a small country like Dadamir, most of the land is still divided out, and the territory belonging to the king is not very large. Therefore, Edward II did not appoint too many ministers and officials, and many important matters were often decided by the royal family members themselves.

"I'm an incompetent king." Edward looked out the window dully.

"It's not your fault, father..."

"Of course it's my fault. I didn't have the ability to win this war, but I dragged everyone into the abyss...Anisha, I'm going to give up on Emerald Lake..."

"No, father, once the Emerald Lake is abandoned, the kingdom's lifeline will be lost. What will happen to the lives of those fishermen?"

"But if you don't give up, there may be no kingdom." Edward sighed: "We still have mines, which can bring the fishermen back..."

"Maybe my brother can buy food from Tulum..." Anisa was still unwilling.

"I'm afraid it's too late." Edward sighed, "It will take more than a month to get here from Thunder City at the earliest, and we don't have that much time, not to mention that Tulun may not have so much grain to sell us, even if we can buy it Some, after being lost on the road, the ones transported back will not be able to save too many people."

"Is there really no way?"

"Abandon Emerald Lake and wait for the next season of rye and kidney beans to mature. During this time, let everyone go into the mountains to collect chestnuts, acorns, and vetch. Maybe some people will starve to death... This is what I can think of The best way."

"However, everyone is looking for food, and no one is digging the mines."

"It's better than starving to death together."

"Maybe... we can ask Xia Ya for help..."

"Heh..." Edward smiled wryly and shook his head: "Evening Winter Fortress is hard to protect itself, so how can you count on them..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a ceremony official come in and report: "Your Majesty, the Twilight Fortress has sent someone to ask for an audience."

Edward was taken aback for a moment, then he and Anisa looked at each other in blank dismay.

……

……

Inside the living room of the castle.

Jennifer held a cup of Auduo black tea and looked around the surrounding environment.

As a king, even if it is a small country like Dadamir, even if there is no magnificent palace, the current castle can be called simple.

Jennifer wasn't even in the mood to see the king at all.

In the more than two years since leaving Thunder City, she has experienced more trials and tribulations than her entire life combined.

Since Xia Ya regained all the fiefdoms, Colin concentrated the population of the four noble territories and built a new city centered on the original Earl Frank's castle.It was named Akihara Castle.

Establishing a government affairs office, recruiting the people, building houses, reclaiming farmland... All these matters are under the pressure of Jennifer.

Although more than 100 magic apprentices and a large number of craftsmen came from Twilight City, and Sophia came and stayed for two months before leaving, Jennifer was still under tremendous work pressure. Fortunately, in the past few years, She managed the manor, managed the school, and managed the government affairs department, accumulating a lot of experience.

She has always had a strong personality since she was a child, and she had her own ideals when she was in the academy, but her ideals at that time were only to become a magician, or an excellent magic apprentice, to be respected by others.

However, the thinking has changed now. It seems more meaningful to manage a city, arrange everyone's work, solve every problem encountered, and let every resident in the city live a good life.

So, having taken on the task, she was determined to do it well.

Not to mention building Qiuyuan City to be the same as Twilight City, at least not too much difference.

At that time, in Xia Ya territory, two cities, one south and one north, will echo each other.

And Jennifer is very clear that the lord's thoughts are far more than that. Among other things, she has heard Colin mention it more than once about the northernmost port of Xia Ya that has been abandoned for many years.Any lord with lofty goals will never lack the longing for the ocean, and I believe Colin Wayne is no exception.

There are many thoughts.

The door of the reception room was opened, and a haggard-looking middle-aged man and a plainly dressed young girl walked in.

"I have seen His Majesty, I have seen Princess Anisa."

Jennifer has heard Madeleine tell a lot about Dadamir, and she immediately recognized the person's identity. While a little nervous, she also felt sorry. If it wasn't for Ms. Madeleine's weakening body, she would have accompanied her here , maybe things will go more smoothly.

But soon, her strong character restored her confidence.

"My name is Jennifer. This time, I am entrusted by our lord to meet His Majesty the King."

"Miss Jennifer, you are welcome." Edward observed the other party for a moment, and felt that the girl in front of him was very energetic, and even somewhat similar to his own daughter Anisa.

Without waiting for the king to continue speaking, Princess Anisa had already said: "Is your lord still Colin Wayne?"

Because Xia Ya suddenly stopped purchasing ore from Dadamir, Edward even thought that something happened to the fortress.

"Yes, Princess Anisa, I'm glad you can remember the name of the lord." Jennifer smiled.

"Sister Veronica's fiance, how could I not remember, I'm still waiting to attend their wedding."

Jennifer remembered that Edward II had good personal relationships with Duke Violet and Duke Oliver, so she was not surprised that the two princesses met.
