The strongest prince in the fairy tale world

Chapter 128 The Imprisonment Plan
The news of the victory of the human soldiers in the north over the giants soon spread to the imperial palace in Rome.

Catherine showed a rare smile, and the threat to the north was lifted, which was the best Christmas gift for her.

However, Catherine and the ministers were very angry at the retreat of the Principality of Cabel, who thought it was a naked provocation.

Although Prince Eze of the Cabel Principality wrote to explain that the withdrawal was due to civil strife, Catherine did not believe it.

Soon, the secret letter written by Hans, the new king of the Principality of Eaton, was also delivered to Catherine.

After reading the letter, Catherine finally learned the real reason for the withdrawal of the Principality of Cabel.

It turned out that the Principality of Cabel wanted to get rid of the name of a dependent country and declare independence, no wonder it withdrew its troops at the critical moment of the giant's attack.

Thought the giant would hold her back?A giant with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, its combat effectiveness is too weak for human soldiers.

Catherine showed Jasmine the informant letter from Hans and the explanation letter from Izzy.

"This is the man you want to marry. He is the most sinister and cunning prince I have ever seen. Daughter, I think it's better for you not to marry him."

Catherine has never wanted Izzy to marry her daughter. In a few years, Izzy will inherit the throne and become the new king of the Cabel Duchy.

At that time, the king of the dependent country will be his son-in-law. With such a relationship, how can the Norman Empire suck blood from the Duchy of Cabel?

Jasmine read the letters from Ize and Hans. When she read Hans's letter, her expression was very indifferent, but when she read Ize's letter, her eyes showed a happy expression.

"Our family's Yi Ze's handwriting is beautiful!"

Catherine: ...

"My daughter, the words are not the point, but the content is."

"Well, Yize did the right thing. Their Principality wants to be independent, so of course they have to recall the troops in foreign countries." Jasmine was thinking on the side of Ize, not thinking about the interests of the Norman Empire at all.

"...Daughter, I mean he is too cunning, this kind of man is not suitable to be your husband."

Catherine wanted to persuade her daughter not to marry Izzy. After all, after the Principality of Cabel became independent, and her daughter was in the hands of the other party, would she still be able to attack him with peace of mind?
"Mother, you said that Ize is cunning, but I think he is smart."

"..." Catherine thought that her daughter must have been dazzled by love, so she only spoke for Ize.

"You must marry him? Even if I am about to send troops to attack the Cabel Duchy, you don't plan to change your mind, do you?"

"Well, I have already decided, but why do you have to attack the Principality of Cabel?"

"Daughter, once the Principality of Cabel declares its independence, the face of our Norman Empire will be wiped away."

"Face is something you can't eat, mother, just let them be independent. If you really want to attack the Cabel Duchy, the relationship between Ize's parents and I will definitely be very tense," Jasmine said.

Facing this unmarried daughter who was desperately turning her elbows, Catherine really had no choice.

"It's not just a matter of face. A lot of our country's annual tax revenue comes from the Duchy of Cabel and the Duchy of Eaton. Once it becomes independent, our country's income will be greatly reduced." Catherine continued.

Jasmine thought about it, and said bluntly:
"However, the income of the Norman Empire has decreased. This cannot be the reason for you to block their independence, and I think the economic level of the Norman Empire is obviously much better than that of the Duchy of Cabel."

Catherine was rendered speechless by her daughter's words, and it took a long time before she said, "You are still young, so you don't understand the cruelty of politics."

Jasmine didn't answer, and after a long time, she asked worriedly:
"Mother, it will be Christmas in two days. Izzy will come to pick me up at that time. You won't embarrass him because of this, will you?"

Catherine didn't answer directly, but said perfunctorily, "Let's see what happens then."

"You must not make things difficult for him, or I will go back tomorrow by myself." Jasmine said hastily.

"Go back?" Catherine felt a little disappointed. It turned out that her fiancé's house was home in her daughter's heart, and living with her in the palace was just a guest.

But soon Catherine figured it out, after all, the time she spent with Jasmine was still too short, and the foundation of their relationship was too weak.

She believes that as long as she keeps her daughter by her side, the relationship will naturally become deeper and deeper over time.

So Catherine came up with a plan to imprison Izzy, as long as both Izzy and Jasmine were controlled in the Roman palace, then she could destroy the Cabel Duchy without any scruples.

Catherine has made a plan, she will pretend not to know Hans' secret letter, and when Ize comes to pick up Jasmine, she will immediately use witchcraft to put Ize under house arrest.

……

In the Duchy of Cabell, Ize received funds supported by Robert, and his new Cabel College finally started construction.

At the same time, Ize has also communicated with many excellent teachers of Bowen College, and they will teach on both sides at the same time.

After all, anyone would be happy to have another part-time job that pays well and is not very tiring.

And the crazy Nobel, at the moment, is already working day and night on the ship laboratory prepared for him by Yi Ze, continuing to seriously develop explosives.

Ize gave him sufficient funds for the experiment, and now he can conduct multiple tests every day, and the progress of the experiment is much faster.

……

On this day, Yi Ze was called to the palace by his father early in the morning.

"The King Boqi next door is dead. It is said that his second prince poisoned him to death because of jealousy." Robert said with a serious expression.

Ize was also taken aback when he heard the news. After all, King Boqi had promised to form an alliance with him and declare independence together. Now he was suddenly poisoned to death...

"Father, the new king of Eton is Hans?" Ize asked.

Hans was already at odds with Izzy, and if he became the new king, he would probably refuse to cooperate with the Principality of Cabel.

"Yes, Hans is the eldest son. Naturally, he will inherit the throne. I have already sent someone to deliver a congratulatory letter. I wonder if Hans will cooperate with us," Robert said.

Izzy frowned and said:

"It's hard, Hans is far inferior to his father, he is short-sighted and conceited, and he just became the king, and it is the happiest time, so why would he take the risk to fight the Norman Empire with us?"

Robert said with some concern: "I heard that the army of the Norman Empire in the north has wiped out the giant tribe, and the giant will not hold back Catherine anymore. If we declare independence, we have to be prepared to be attacked."

Eze: "Father, you are right, we must prepare for the worst now."

"Izze, why don't we delay the declaration of independence for a while?" Robert said.

Ize pondered for a long time before saying:

"Father, please ask Raymond to go to the Principality of Eaton first and discuss with Hans. If Hans is unwilling to join us, then we will wait a little longer and not declare independence for the time being."

Robert nodded solemnly, "This is the only way to do it now."

　I'm sorry, knights, there's only this one update today, I'm a bit stuck, I want to go to bed early, and take care of the follow-up plot.
