Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Located in the southwest of Idar Province, Stranglethorn Valley is the absolute frontier town of Idar Duchy.

From Stranglethorn Vale to Idar City, it only takes less than a day even by carriage. If it is replaced by the steam train of the Principality of Idar, I am afraid it will only take a few hours.

As the largest border port in the Principality of Idar, thousands of refugees enter the Principality of Idar through the Stranglethorn Customs every day.

The intensifying chaos in the empire made the lives of the people increasingly difficult.

Even though the Church of Light has now completed its rule over the interior of the empire, the lives of the people have not improved in the slightest.

after all……

Compared with relocating people to improve people's livelihood, it seems that selling indulgences to earn commissions can allow local bishops to get more benefits and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of priests and bishops.

It is precisely because of this that almost from the day when the Stranglethorn Customs was born, the number of refugees who passed through the Stranglethorn Customs inspection and entered the Principality of Idar every day showed an increasing trend.

said with no exaggeration……

Among the refugees who successfully immigrated to the Principality of Idar, more than one-third of the population entered the land in the eastern part of the mainland through the customs of Stranglethorn.

And if you want to pass through the Stranglethorn Valley Customs, then Kong Teling, which is located on the west side of the Stranglethorn Valley Customs, is the only way for this group of homeless refugees to go through no matter what.

Even in name, the relationship between Conte and the Principality of Idar belongs to an independent force that does not violate the water of the well.

But in fact... how is this possible?

As a neighbor of the Principality of Idar, the Conte Territory can be said to be one of the noble lords most deeply influenced by the Principality of Idar.

Whether it is the work-point system generally implemented in the Idar Principality, or the serf-free system implemented in the Idar Principality, almost all of them have become the same employment system generally implemented in the Conte Territory with the passage of time.

Even the trend of Protestantism has already swept this piece of land adjacent to the Principality of Idar.

no way,

The Conte Territory was too close to the Idar Principality next door.

If Viscount Conte did not show some sincerity to keep the local people, then the Conte land would have already become a wasteland!

No, to correct it, the south bank of the Moore River has long since become a wasteland.

Because in the north of Conte Territory, that is, the north bank of the Moore River, that fertile land now has another name - the Moore River Valley Special Economic Zone (I)!

The point is the word in parentheses!

In the agreement signed between the Principality of Idar and Conte, the rights enjoyed by the Idar people on the north bank of the Moor River have been clearly stated. (see Chapter 154 for details)

According to the content of the agreement,

In addition to the relevant articles of the establishment of the Moorish wine industry jointly by Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar and Viscount Conte,

The Idar army will also be responsible for ensuring public safety on the north bank of the Moore River, and Locke, the governor of the Moore District, has full authority to handle all matters within the "Moore Manor" winery and the Moore Valley Special Economic Zone.

so……

The north and south banks of the Moore River have long presented completely different appearances.

In fact, in all fairness,

Viscount Conte is not a mean aristocrat, nor is he cruel to the governance of the territorial people, but... he is afraid of comparison in everything!

Even though Viscount Conte was extremely kind compared to the nobles in the inland, if compared to the Duchy of Idar on the other side of Stranglethorn Vale, it was still one heaven and one underground.

Of course,

Being next to the Idar Principality also has many advantages.

It is precisely because of the extremely close connection with the Principality of Idar that the various disputes in the interior of the empire in recent years have hardly affected the noble territory of Viscount Conte, which can be regarded as a slight relief for the elderly Viscount.

As a friendly neighbor of the Principality of Idar, the national tour of the Idar Repertory Theatre will naturally not lead Conte to the ground.

In addition to the well-received "Idar Partner" for the refugees waiting to pass the customs in the Idar actual control area on the north bank of the Moor River, the Idar Repertory Theatre was invited to the lord castle of Viscount Conte. Perform alone for the aged viscount.

In this era, drama is undoubtedly a new form of performance.

But Viscount Conte was not a pedantic, die-hard aristocrat, so he did not contradict him in the slightest.

Especially when he saw that the three young people in the play met and knew each other since their school days, supported each other to create their own career, and finally realized their "Idar-style dream"...

Viscount Conte even put his own perspective into it. While feeling shocked, he was also amazed at the ups and downs and eye-catching new art form of drama.

"Reward! The reward! The performance is really good!"

Viscount Conte clapped his hands in succession and greeted his personal attendant to take out a stack of brand new Idar banknotes in his pocket.

Today, the portability of banknotes and the high national credit of the Principality of Idar have long made the banknotes of the Principality of Idar widely circulated in the eastern part of the continent.

Even in independent territories such as the Kingdom of Cecil, Conte Territory, Hobbs Harbour, or the concession of the Duchy of Idar, Idar banknotes have also become one of the most popular currencies in circulation on the market.

But at this moment, Viscount Conte's old butler stumbled in from outside the door, waving a letter encapsulated in secret:

"Lord Viscount! It's a handwritten letter from Duke Idar!"

"letter?"

Hearing this, Viscount Conte was obviously a little surprised.

Even the kingdom of Cecil, far to the west of the mainland, already has a long-distance communication device managed by the Idar people, and its own Conte Territory is no exception.

If there is any news that needs to be exchanged on weekdays, it is completely possible to communicate directly with the young Duke through the remote communication device provided by the Principality of Idar.

So, since this more efficient way of communicating, he hadn't seen such a formal letter for a few days.

Curiously, he shook the letter and checked the seal on the seal. Viscount Conte, who had just finished watching the play, easily opened the letter from a neighboring country.

then……

Before even reading the first sentence, Viscount Conte was stunned there nervously.

"Lord Viscount?"

The old butler tentatively waved in front of Viscount Conte.

"call--"

After a while, Viscount Conte came back to his senses and said with a somewhat complicated expression:

"The son of my old friend, he is truly a remarkable character!"

"From now on... the Stuart family or the future hero of the mainland!"

This letter, written by Bruno himself, is naturally an invitation.

The content of the letter can be summed up in one sentence-in the name of the ruler of the Principality of Idar and the patriarch of the Stuart family, I invite Viscount Conte to attend the independence celebration of the Principality of Idar!

heard,

The old butler said:

"That's a good thing! The Principality of Idar is very powerful now, and you have helped Lord Bruno before."

"Help me back to help, and now on Bruno's shoulders is the entire Principality of Idar! So... he is inviting me to participate in the independence celebration, but at the same time he is also asking me about my decision..."

"Decision?" The old butler was slightly taken aback.

"Now the Church of Light occupies the interior, and the Duchy of Idar dominates the east, plus the Kingdom of Cecil and the Empire of Odin..."

"Sooner or later, these forces will have a head-on conflict, and if the Principality of Idar wants to advance inland, there are only two ways to go. One is through the Valens Plain, and the other..."

Viscount Conte paused and continued: "...The other way, of course, is through Conte's collar, and goes all the way west along the Moor River."

As he said that, Viscount Conte couldn't help but smile: "Although I have long understood that defecting to the Principality of Idar is the most suitable choice now, but... if I really want to give up this family land, I still feel a little reluctant to give up. "

only……

Reluctant to give up, Viscount Conte had already known in his heart that the relationship between Conte Territory and the Principality of Idar had long since become difficult to part with.

Not only the special economic zone located on the north bank of the Moore River and the increasingly profitable Moore Wine Industry, but also the youngest daughter of Viscount Conte, Isabel, is now teaching at Idar Public University!

Therefore, although Conte has always maintained nominal independence, the relationship with the Principality of Idar is already inseparable, and the human relations are even more intertwined.

"Lord Viscount, although we may have to give up the land, but... You know Mr. Bruno's heart the most, and he will definitely not treat our family badly," the old butler said.

"It's natural..."

Viscount Conte took a long sigh: "Independence is a good thing, I just hope that the Duchy of Idar can clear all obstacles on the way soon, and only in this way can the status of the family rise with the tide. ."

Half a month passed in a flash.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the new year quietly arrived in the eyes of all the people.

January 1, 540 in the new calendar!

For all Idar people, this is bound to be an unforgettable day in their lives.

It was almost dawn,

The agents of the Idar Central Intelligence Agency and the police officers of the Idar Public Security Bureau had already arrived at their designated positions in full armor, and looked at the surrounding streets and alleys with vigilant eyes.

This is an important moment for the Principality of Idar and all the Idar people! Absolutely not to be missed!

Almost from a week ago, any slight disturbance in Idar City will make the hearts of many security personnel alarm bells.

Whether it is the Idar Avenue that runs through the north-south direction of Idar City, or the Jingshi Road that traverses the east-west direction, the two most important main roads in Idar City have already declared martial law with the assistance of the Idar military.

According to the plan formulated by the Idar Government Affairs Office, the Idar independence celebration will be officially held at 10 am on the same day.

but……

At this moment,

Even if it's early in the morning,

The people who were moved by the news had already gathered in the previously designated viewing area and waited quietly.

The Idars have waited too long for this day.

Many of them came all the way from the Plains of Valence, the Province of Basel, and even from Hobbs Harbor and the Province of Padilla.

Just to witness this glorious moment that belongs to the Principality of Idar and belongs to all Idar people!

today,

They will say goodbye to their past selves! We will usher in our own new life together with this country!

The palace is majestic, with flags fluttering.

At the urging of the Idar Government Affairs Office, the Idar Palace, located in the middle of the city of Idar, was basically completed a few days before the start of the independence celebration.

At least... the main building exposed on Jingshi Road has been completed, and only the interior of the palace still needs to be carefully sculpted.

This spectacle building with Buckingham Palace as the main body, combining various palace buildings, incorporating the design concepts of countless Idar principality engineers, and fitting Bruno's mind, has also become the second sssss wonder of Idar Principality!

Whether it is its area or the number of buildings, it is far from the ordinary buildings of the previous generation.

Under the guidance of Bruno himself, this palace, which symbolizes the power and status of the Stuart family, has adopted the Western architectural style, but also absorbed some symmetrical and integrated design concepts in Chinese architecture.

This also makes the Idar Palace no longer just a palace~www.readwn.com~ but a whole palace complex covering a vast area!

all in all……

Even Bruno himself couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this spectacle again.

no doubt,

The eclectic Idar Palace,

It is enough to be regarded as a master of all kinds of palace buildings!

And besides that,

On the square in front of the Idar Palace, which is the intersection of Idar Avenue and Jingshi Road, a building that had been shrouded in a dark black curtain for several months finally stood on this day. In the morning light, it was displayed in front of everyone.

Idar Hero Monument!

It is an obelisk-like building forged from steel.

The marble at the bottom of the monument was dug from the main hall of the Royal Palace of Basel, and the main structure above was re-forged from various melee weapons captured from several wars.

And on the front of the monument,

These are two lines of gold-hot writing written by Bruno himself—

The heroes who fought for the independence of Idar live forever!

The heroes who fought for the future of the Idars live forever!

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this monument is puzzling.

But……

In Bruno's heart, in the hearts of all Idars, those heroes who are not afraid of life and death in the face of danger deserve this honor!

Just today,

Bruno Stuart, the ruler of the Principality of Idar,

On the large terrace of the Idar Palace, it will stand opposite the Idar Heroes Monument, proclaiming the independence of the Principality and the birth of the Empire to all Idar people!

No pop-ups, timely updates!
