The strongest prince in the fairy tale world

Chapter 164 Merger of Two Countries
"Your Majesty, the prince of Kabel Kingdom has broken through our three cities and is now walking towards our palace." A guard said to Hans respectfully.

Hans looked serious: "Has the army of the Norman Empire arrived yet?"

It has been several days since Hans' request letter was sent to Rome, but Catherine didn't intend to help at all after reading it. She didn't want to be a queen at all, and she felt that there was no need to help Hans deal with her future son-in-law.

After Catherine received the letter, she threw it away without reading it carefully.The letter that Hans sent to the Norman Empire full of hope disappeared like this, and there was no news at all.

……

Therefore, when the roar of explosives sounded outside the palace, Hans knew that the reinforcements from the Norman Empire would never come.

Even though there are [-] guards in the capital, under the deterrence of explosives, the combat effectiveness has been weakened by an unknown amount.

Not to mention that there is a young and powerful magician like Yi Ze leading the army. It can be said that the army of the Principality of Eaton is retreating steadily, while the army led by Yi Ze is in full swing, and soon rushed into the palace of the Principality of Eaton.

Hans sat on the throne with a slumped face. At first he thought that the Cabel Kingdom was just trying to show off its prestige.

Later, he felt that if he lost a city on the border, he would lose it.

It was only later that he realized that Ize wanted to replace him.

He never thought that the opponent would be so decisive, launch a war so quickly, and even invade his palace so quickly.

At this moment, he regretted what he had done before, annoyed why he was so impulsive.

If his father hadn't been killed by him, if he had agreed to declare independence with the Cabel Kingdom, if he hadn't taken the initiative to take sides with the Norman Empire, if he hadn't killed Ize...

Perhaps the two countries are still maintaining an equal and good trade relationship as before...

Hans was so annoyed that he seemed to have ruined it all!

It seems that my father is right, he is indeed not suitable to be a king, he managed a good country like this.

Every decision made before was wrong, which led to the ruin of the country and family.

When Yi Ze led a small group of infantry into the palace, Hans looked at Yi Ze with blank eyes.

"You won." Hans smiled wryly.

"This country won't need you anymore." Ize said lightly.

"I hate you, Izzy." Hans stepped off the throne and said through gritted teeth.

Izzy: "Oh."

"Put down your haughty eyes! Isn't it death? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid!" Hans' voice trembled a little, and he said he was not afraid, but his body couldn't help but feel unsteady.

"I didn't intend to kill you." Izzy said, killing Hans didn't do him any good.

Instead, it would be a better option to put him under house arrest in a secret base in the Cabel Kingdom.

Hans thought that after Izzy walked in, he would directly use a spell to kill him, so he wanted to show his backbone.

Who knows that Izzy is willing to let him die, Hans quickly changed his attitude, as long as a person has a glimmer of hope for life, he will abandon his dignity and live on.

"Really...really?" Hans' eyes flashed with hope.

Yize nodded: "However, you will have to spend the rest of your life in the Cabel Kingdom."

Hans quickly said: "It doesn't matter, as long as I can live, I can do anything."

"Okay, then write a notice yourself and announce to your commoners that from today onwards, the Principality of Eaton will be officially merged into our Kingdom of Kabel." Ize said.

Hans hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Compared with life, the country is obviously more important than the latter.

……

The next day, notices written by the king were posted everywhere in Eaton City, and all the civilians began to discuss this matter eagerly.

"Hey, I didn't expect our Principality of Eaton to be annexed like this."

"I knew our country was in danger when I saw the Cabel Kingdom's army rushing into the city yesterday."

"Actually, who is the king has nothing to do with us ordinary people."

"After the prince of Kabel Kingdom entered the city yesterday, I heard him tell the general not to hurt civilians. I feel that he should be good."

"Oh, I didn't expect that we would become subjugated slaves."

"Don't be so pessimistic, it might be a good thing to merge into the Karbel Kingdom."

"Our own country is gone, is it okay? Our capital is gone, and Cabel City is now the capital."

"Why is it not a good thing? Think about it, the Cabel Kingdom has access to the sea, and judging from yesterday's battle, they seem to have invented explosives. Now that our two countries have expanded in size and national strength, we no longer need to be a subsidiary of the Norman Empire." Isn't this a good thing?"

"He's right. Before that, we had to pay various taxes to the Norman Empire every year. After we become independent together, maybe our lives will be easier."

"You think too much, even if you have money, it will be taken by those nobles and royal families. Do you want it? Dreaming!"

"Forget it, it's useless for us to say it here, let's see what the Cabel Kingdom will do next."

……

The civilians discussed enthusiastically one by one.

Soon, the news that the Principality of Eaton was merged into the Kingdom of Cabel spread throughout Northern Europe, and even the monarchs of many countries in Southern Europe and Central Asia also paid attention to the news.

King Arthur of the Ice and Snow Kingdom sent a congratulatory letter first. They had always been at odds with the Duke of Eton, but instead made good friends with the Cabel Kingdom. Therefore, the merger is good news for the Ice and Snow Kingdom.

But for the Norman Empire in the west, this is definitely bad news.

This means that the two original dependent countries will no longer pay tribute from now on, and they will no longer pay high taxes and fees.

But this time, the ministers seldom mentioned the matter of attacking the Cabel Kingdom.

First, Catherine's attitude has changed drastically recently, and she seems to have no interest in state affairs at all.

Secondly, the explosive technology of the Cabel Kingdom has already formed a deterrent effect on neighboring countries. At this time, it is not a good time for the two countries to fight.

Catherine didn't care what the ministers thought, she decided to live with her sister Merlin next month, now it's time to announce her abdication and pass the throne to Snow White.

She found Fredrow and Allen, the two most important ministers in the Norman Empire.

When Catherine told them that she was going to abdicate, both of them were quite surprised.

The woman who put power above her life before has decided to abdicate now?

And to pass the throne to Snow White, whom she had been trying to assassinate before?
The two looked at each other, puzzled in their hearts, what exactly stimulated Catherine?If the power that has just been firmly grasped is not in place, will it not be?

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to do this?" Fredrow said.
