Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Maple Leaf Palace.

These few days are enough to make the rumors ferment. The court is the place where news spreads the fastest, and the most common servants know the disputes and conflicts between the Dragon of Aurora and the nobles.

Of course, I also knew that Princess Tina chose to stand on the side of her fiancé.

This means that Goethe's little princess has betrayed the Teldariel family, the glorious and sacred Goethe noble alliance, the interests of the mother country, and the noble identity of being a noble.

The slander and criticism in the dark are enough to form a torrent of cold violence, and even under the instigation of some people, it will be reflected as small actions on the surface, and the wind and the sword are fierce.

"Today's breakfast, the cheese bread tasted worse than the day before yesterday. For example, the flour was sifted many times less, and the residue of lemonade was more than before, and it was tasted at once."

In the garden, Tina took Kant's arm and took a walk with him in the afternoon sunshine. Amidst the charming fragrance of flowers, Her Royal Highness's voice was soft and melodious.

Kant frowned, this has nothing to do with pampering or aristocratic luxury life, but a small targeted action, which is the behavior of a disgusting person: "I'll teach you a lesson..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Tina's chuckle.

The titular fiancee raised her head, her azure blue eyes narrowed, and she smiled happily and proudly: "Kant, of course I'm happy to have you help me vent my anger, but I prefer to do it myself - don't take me for granted. The grievances will only be weak and weak girls crying in the bed."

"Huh? It sounds like the heroic and strong princess has defended her dignity."

"Yes, it is."

Tina's eyes were picturesque in the sun, and her sweet voice was as clear as a lark: "After I found out, I immediately took the gorilla to the dining room of my father and the second sister, and intercepted their breakfasts respectively. After comparing and tasting them separately, Only my breakfast was relatively poor."

"Then I went directly to the palace kitchen and got the evidence that I haven't had time to destroy. The evidence is overwhelming, and no one can say anything. The steward in charge of daily food management and supply was ordered to be killed by me and dragged directly to the garden in front of the servants. His face was beaten to death with a whip, and my father wanted to say something, I said directly, if the knights of the court do not want to defend the honor and dignity of Teldaril, then I will personally finish it with an axe."

"The personnel involved under it were sentenced to flogging and dismissal, confiscation of salary and confinement according to the seriousness of the circumstances and the level of status. I know that you sympathize with the common people, and I know that those cooks and servants could not refuse the orders of the stewards, so they were only sentenced to Confinement and punishment...how about it?"

When she said this, she pursed her lips, her eyes were full of light, and she looked at Kant, showing pride and inquiry, like a child asking for compliments.

Kant smiled slightly: "There is reason and evidence, and the killing is decisive. I already have a three-point level."

"It's only three points." Tina said disappointedly, "Then I have to keep working hard."

"But compared to this..." Kant said, "I don't think it's interesting for you to stay in the Maple Leaf Palace. Why don't you come to the Far Harbor, the public opinion here has begun to target you."

Tina smiled and shook her head: "This is my home, and Teddaril also has my share, so why leave in a daze? Besides, Danfeng Lucerne is the capital of Goethe, and you must have your voice and will here. , let the core leaders of this country always realize that you are here."

Before Kant could speak, Tina looked at him with a smile: "If I don't do this kind of thing, who can I do it? Second sister?"

"…"

Kant stared blankly: "What does this have to do with her?"

Tina hummed and laughed a few times: "After the second sister came back, she became very strange, and she stopped taking the initiative to see me. If it is said that the relationship with me has deteriorated, she behaved very badly about the bread for breakfast today. I was angry, but I thanked her and chatted with her, and she was a little perfunctory, talking about you, but she quietly pricked up her ears... Kant, what are you talking about? "

Kant showed a contemplative look, thought for a while, scratched his head and said, "I think she may have some kind of complicated emotion towards me..."

There was a hint of astonishment in Tina's eyes.

Then I heard my lover say: "That's right, I think your second sister is a kind of very smart, clear-headed, enlightened aristocrat, and a reformist who is on the right. She clearly recognizes the reasons for the country's weakness, and she also urgently She wants to change this status quo, but she still has her own class limitations, and when reforming the country will inevitably damage the interests of her class, she will feel at a loss and pain..."

"For this reason, in terms of paradox elements, she supported us at first, but when the situation developed next, her own contradictions were revealed, and she had a relatively big conflict with me, but she was still in her heart. What agrees with me is that her loyalty and dedication to her own class makes her miserable, that is, at the end of the Battle of Far Harbor, she chose to stay out of the way, but she still left the command of the Survey Corps..."

"So she has very mixed feelings about me, an instinctive unease about me changing the country roughly, from her deep-rooted thoughts as a nobleman all these years, but subconsciously expecting me to make this country better, this kind of complexity Her senses are manifested in the way she treats you..."

Tina sighed suddenly and heavily.

Kant was forced to end his analysis of the contradictory duality of advancement and backwardness displayed by the Second Princess of Goethe, Stella, in the tide of national change.

He even planned to write a paper and then instruct Horus to build a character model in order to win and educate the progressive Goethe aristocratic youth like Stella in the future.

He wondered: "What's wrong? Your sister's character and performance are quite typical..."

Tina said helplessly: "I feel both happy and sad."

"...Do you think I'm wrong?" Kant wondered, "It's not for this reason, why else? It can't be that she likes me. What a joke, it's only been a few days, and we haven't talked. Too many, I haven't experienced anything, and even had a big fight..."

When he said this, his face was stunned, and then he clicked Tina's eyebrows, dumbfounded: "You won't be jealous, right? How can there be love at first sight in this world... Your second sister is an independent and wise woman, and she has no respect for this country and The nation has love and responsibility, don't speculate on her with the simple love of men and women."

Tina grimaced and hummed, "Yes, yes, you say yes, right?"

That's pretty good too, isn't it.

Kant shook his head and threw away the charming thoughts - although he said so, but when he thought of Stella's intellectual face that was similar to Tina's but different in temperament, his heart was still shaken. Men are big pig hooves. The power is particularly amazing, but it is not illegal to think about it.

He changed the subject: "Since you don't want to go... Then I'll take care of your three meals a day?"

This time, of course, Tina would not refuse.

She smiled and said, "Okay."

The two looked at each other and smiled, they should have thought of the past of Sacred Seal Island.

Even after the reunion, Tina ate the long-lost Earth food, and it doesn't feel like it used to be.

Really, up to now, she has never eaten the delicious potato chips that day, nor did she drink the cool and sweet Coke that day.

But the common memories are still the sweetest.

They met and met, once separated, but now they are reunited, so happy and contented.

Among the flowers, Tina smiled shyly and bowed her head slightly: "I want to kiss you."

Kant looked at the splendid hair, the shy and beautiful face, the thin shoulders, the delicate neck like a swan, and the exposed small piece of skin, the delicate collarbone, the stunning girl was in front of him, full of love. — He remembered that time a few days ago, and thought about it for several nights after that.

He swallowed and whispered, "I think so too."

"...That's all I can think about."

Tina showed a sly and smug smile: "The gorilla may be peeking, even if not, I have made a promise with her... A promise is a promise."

It was very embarrassing that the good thing that day was broken by the gorilla. After that, he was busy with the Far Harbor incident. The gorilla stayed in the Maple Leaf Palace to protect Tina's safety. It's no surprise to be alive - now it appears that a secret negotiation negotiation is taking place quietly.

Now that Kant can walk with Tina in the garden is one of the initial results of the negotiation, so as not to make the gorilla full of alertness and hug Kant's other arm **** for tat, making the three very uncomfortable.

In exchange, Kant also spends the same amount of time alone with the gorilla.

The additional clause is that the gorilla was shocked by the beauty and coquettishness of the big golden retriever, and proposed that she should not do shameless things with Kant when she was alone in the recent stage, otherwise she would tie Tina aside once she found out. , forcibly took Kant's chastity in front of her.

This kind of penalty for breach of contract is very crude in all respects, but because the proposer was an ape, Tina was still shocked... After all, it was an ape.

"A promise is a promise."

Tina saw Kant's fluke in his eyes, it's a man's nature to drill holes.

She smiled slightly, hugged Kant's arm, leaned forward slightly, the front of the shirt fell due to gravity, and the neckline was hanging in the air, revealing the deep valleys and snow-white peaks.

Under Kant's gaze, Her Royal Highness the Princess shook her body slightly, and the back waves began to surge.

Her face was blushing, and she pointed to the deep ravine, even deeper.

"The gorilla's nose is very smart. Let her smell your saliva here, and then something terrible may happen - are you sure?"

"…"

Kant's eyes revealed an indignant condemnation.

The complexity of human nature was once again vividly displayed on him. On the one hand, he was eager to move, on the other hand, he had concerns, on the one hand, he complained that Tina used this method to tempt him, and on the other hand, he shouted that this kind of temptation would come more... Thousands of words condensed into one sentence, oh, man.

He curled his lips and said, "Is it going to be like this all the time?"

"Of course not." Tina said with a smile, "I also endured very hard."

"That…"

"I'm trying to figure out a way, but according to my method, things have to be done step by step." Her Royal Highness's eyes flowed like a star, and she tapped her lips with her finger, "If Kant can't wait, he can also find a way to speed up by himself. Ah... you see, isn't it fair?"

Kant said fiercely: "You wait!"

Tina smiled brilliantly, nodding her head vigorously like a little girl: "Mmmm! What is Kant going to do? Can you tell me?"

"Things are going to happen step by step!" Kant seemed to have made a big wish. "It's time to improve his skills and accurately measure the power of fire thieves to the molecular level!"

In short.

It's impossible to move your mouth, it will leave saliva, and the saliva will leave a strong smell, and the smell will be smelled by the gorilla - but physical contact is unavoidable.

Since it is unavoidable, it can be used wisely.

It's a man's nature to drill holes.

After a while of sneaking and charming, Kant still managed to find a way to take a little advantage, but it was over, he had to divert his attention... Now is not the time to indulge in the land of gentleness.

What's the best way to quench the flames of desire?

Talk about business.

In national affairs, there is only killing and feuding. If you don't want to talk about feuding, you can only talk about killing.

Tina listened carefully, listening to Kant talk about the Far Harbor these days.

Her Royal Highness gradually frowned.

As a member of Goethe's office and the most noble noble, of course she understands the operating mechanism and current situation of this country better than Kant, not only Goethe, but even the entire human world and even the Moonlight Dynasty. Most wealth and power.

This means strong advantages in some respects.

Like the dignitaries of the Far Harbor.

You put them in a head-to-head confrontation with Kant, and no matter how large an army is hired or assembled, and how many warships are listed, Kant can smash all of them with a single stone.

Even without the forbidden spell, high-speed fighters, ground firepower, the Knight Astolfo made up the final war map for Kant, and conventional deterrence is gradually being established.

War is already Kant's absolute advantage.

But if the nobles of the Far Harbor fight against Kant in terms of people's livelihood and prices, then on the battlefield with the same conditions, it is these nobles who have an absolute advantage.

Because they control almost all the means of production and production tools, forcing the vast majority of commoners to work for them directly or indirectly, this is where the confidence and strength of the nobles lie.

"...Kant, this is not a war, but it is more dangerous than a war. I suggest that you use force appropriately, in conjunction with economic measures, to better meet them."

Kant shook his head and said: "No, we have to solve this as a purely economic issue. Only in the field they are most proud of, and overwhelmingly winning under their rules of the game, will they shock and strike them to the greatest extent. -The time to deploy military and political forces is only when the economy has achieved a complete victory."

Tina frowned for a moment, before finally shaking her head.

"I have to say..." She sighed, "Kant, in the current situation, you can't count on Goethe to give you too much food support. My father transferred to the industrial estate under my name, most of which are producing wine and textiles. For raw materials, I can try to ask my brothers and sisters for help, but other than that..."

That day, Kant pointed at all the members of Goethe's upper power core in the audience hall and cursed. It was the ultimate humiliation for the nobles who paid attention to dignity and honor. His hostility was so obvious and his attitude of declaring war was so decisive that he would not There is any wiggle room.

The trial and execution in the far port also spread to Danfeng Lucerne and spread rapidly in the aristocratic circle - depriving the nobles involved of all titles and honors and killing them with the cruel torture of executing thieves, thieves and robbers. Reminiscent of the cruelest tyrants of ancient times.

What are the crimes of the nobles of the Far Harbor?

- Incite a riot, betray Kant.

What was the charge against the nobles that day in the Hall of Audience?

- Incite a riot, betray Kant.

So, the nobles of Far Harbor have been deprived of their titles and honors, and have been sentenced to death by strangling the wheel and the iron cage. I ask him what he plans to do with the nobles in Danfeng Lucerne?

The answer is obvious.

So it's a big oddity that the rich and powerful of Goethe's capital are willing to lend a helping hand.

They will only watch the play, and even secretly cooperate with the lords of Far Harbor.

Tina reluctantly said: "If you want to get food, the fastest and most likely way is to borrow food from the elves and the council. Kant, you won the battle of the Far Harbor, captured the navy of the three countries, and still have the opposite. On the secrets of the elements, use this as a bargaining chip to buy food from them..."

Kant shook his head and said: "To negotiate with them is to bite down a piece of meat. How can you waste chips on this kind of issue and ask them for help? It is showing weakness, and it is not conducive to the next layout. The council and the elves will definitely also Aware of my predicament, I'm sure to sit down and raise the price..."

When he said this, he smiled and squeezed Tina's sad expression.

"Don't worry, good girl, I'm not talking to you about this, I'm not asking you how to raise food and win this battle - let me ask you first, on the premise of absolutely sufficient food, what do you think my plan is? Isn't it certain that you will win, that you will surely win?"

Hearing this, Tina nodded decisively: "Of course she will win! With abundant food and an overwhelming military advantage, even the gods can't change the result of victory."

"Then..." Kant said with a smile, "I can tell you now, we are sure to win."

"So, the question now is not how to win, but how to take advantage of this opportunity to make further arrangements, expand the scope of attack, and grab bigger fruits - understand?"

Tina was stunned for a moment, looking at Kant.

Then slowly smiled.

The sweetheart means that he can get enough food.

As for where to get it, Kant didn't say, which means he doesn't want to say it for the time being.

If you don't want to say it, then don't ask.

Facing Kant's rhetoric and affirmation, Tina believed it without hesitation.

"understood."

She also naturally understood Kant's intention.

"It seems..."

Her Royal Highness said: "It seems that I have to write many, many letters, asking the wealthy and decent Your Excellency Danfeng Lucerne to lend a hand to a hungry city, and then..."

She had a sly smile about to do something bad.

"Then, praying, it's best not to have any letters back."
