00391 The Country of the Dead Nobles

With the long haul in place, Elizabeth and I entered the scavenging ground.

It was a very simple game.

When the Imperium comes with an army, Elizabeth flees. This escape was accompanied by the modifier "Cheongbyeol Tactics" or "Earth War." If anyone in the kingdom of Sardinia criticizes this, Elizabeth expects another short-term battle and wants to be defeated.

On the contrary, when an army of Franks nobles or foxes appeared, Elizabeth immediately changed her stance. Elizabeth killed her opponent like a shark biting a bloody fish.

Our empire army was the same.

As Elizabeth approaches, she moves out of the way delicately, while Sardinian aristocrats form and rush to intercept us with caution.

It was as if the two of us were guests at a well-prepared dinner, sitting opposite the table, reaching out gradually and eating food. Even if we didn't eat each other, the food was abundant.

The city of Sardinia was taken down, the farm burned down, and the warehouse plundered.

The surprising thing is that Elizabeth and I never exchanged doctors on the move. I did not send or receive letters, nor did I communicate using a crystal ball. On the other hand, the two of us were considered thorough enemies.

But just as skilled dancers beat so beautifully, even if they first meet at the ballroom, when they move their troops, I move them that way, I lead them to the other, and they never deviate from each other's minds.

The moment of choice came quickly for the Sardinian Emperor.

Luckily, Elizabeth is spreading the word everywhere, but she's still unable to deal with the Empire army. Elizabeth herself publicly said, "Confronting the Empire in the field is the most luxurious and luxurious act of suicide in the world.”

Even if Elizabeth had the will to fight, the soldiers did not.

Enemies tremble at the mention of Laura de Farnese now. If I give the order, I will take the first step towards the battlefield, but if the shade of the defeat is overshadowed, I will lose again! Run or be slaughtered! ’and it was an atmosphere to hit the parade.

Ceasefire agreement.

There were no answers except for these four grim letters.

And for Sardinia, the word "ceasefire" was just a more noble expression of surrender.

“Your Excellency... This is a harsh condition..." ”

Sardinia's Foreign Minister shakes his hands. In the hands of the Foreign Ministry, there was a truce agreement proposed by our side.

“For our kingdom of Sardinia, the north is a place where major port cities and industrial zones are concentrated…… If we abandon this place like this, the future of the kingdom…. ”

“The future of the realm. ”

I muttered as if I was funny. The Foreign Minister's mouth shut.

“Duke, if you don't know the past, there is no future. ”

“Yes, Your Highness. ”

“Do you remember what was the first negotiation your Emperor made? ”

The Foreign Minister is silent. He is not silent because he does not know how to negotiate.

“Vote for the honor of the Duke of Farnese. That was it. ”

“ ……. ”

“I wasn't asking you to do it barefoot. You have specified enough and excessive compensation. And yet, how did you react back home? Not only did I say it was unfair to lottery a group of traitors, I even publicly insulted Duke de Farnese for leading the charge of Earl Fabia. ”

The Foreign Minister opened his mouth to protest, but I raised my right hand to stop him.

“How did the Emperor of the Kingdom react to this insult? I want a sincere apology. That was it. Duke, I'm really curious. Was it really that hard to say an apology? ”

“ ……. ”

Something useful. I'm sorry, but I had a little more to attack on my side.

“What was the second negotiation like? Duke Parma-Piacenza, who deserved to be handed over to Duke Farnese for his inheritance, demanded Duke Milan as part of his war reimbursement. This time, he made peace by bringing in the Habsburg Republic……. ”

“I have nothing to say. ”

I smiled faintly.

“Of course not, Duke. Your return is disrespectful, audacious and diplomatic respect. ”

“Old, Jungbaek Palace...... ”

“Don't expect even the mercy of a word from a foreign country. There are two choices left for you to return to. Accept the negotiation, or decline. ”

I got up and brought my face closer to the Foreign Minister.

“But when the time comes for a fourth deal to be entered into, oh, I assure you, We won't discuss it with the north of Sardinia at that time. You can swear. I'm already looking forward to it. ”

“ ……. ”

“Go and tell the duc's stupid and worthless king, the king who knows nothing but to let his people be plundered and leave his defense to the foreign monarch." Expect an end to those who ignore the Empire's recommendations. ”

If you don't remember history, history will remember you.

The words of Habsburg just before the war were so impressive that these days they have been regarded as almost the words of the Habsburg imperial family. Instead of Foreign Foreign Foreign Ministers, I left without speaking to them anymore.

In November of that year, the Royal Sardinia agreed to an all-out truce.

Foreign officials from thirteen countries on the continent gathered in Florence. I signed a treaty on behalf of the Emperor Habsburg. The ceasefire agreement, named the Florence Treaty, was as follows:

1. Duke Farnese gains the right to engrave the blue arithmetic, the symbol of the former Duke of Farnese, into his own sentence. In the future this will no longer be a reason for war.

2. Duke Farnese has dominion over Milan, Bergamo, Fabia, Piacenza and La Spezia. Duke Farnese has no obligation to King Sardinia.

3. King Brittany has control over Genoa and Nicaea.

4. The emperor of Anatolia has dominion over Venice and waveba.

5. Until the Grand Duke of Florence grows to a legitimate age, Grand Duke of Florence will be governed by Frank's Empress Catherine de Medicis as regent. However, Empress Catherine de Medicis forfeits her claim to the Grand Duke of Florence forever.

6. Distribution of sovereignty over the Piedmontese clan is distributed among the eight nobles of Frank and acknowledges their sovereignty. They have no obligation to King Sardinia.

7. In addition, the Habsburg Empire will return all territories it occupied during the war to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

8. Merchants from the Republic of Batavia, Castilla Kingdom, Kalmar Federation, and Habsburg Republic are permitted to trade duty-free in the Piedmontese Territories and Venice.

I put a happy stamp on the treaty door and looked at Sardinia's foreign office. The Foreign Minister trembles with his hand in his hand. I grinned.

“What are you doing, Duke? Is the paint too heavy for you? ”

“ ……. ”

It was not that I did not understand how distressing the Foreign Minister was. The treaty was forcing Sardinia to bleed unilaterally, not unilaterally, but also massively.

Five of Sardinia's wealthiest cities must have included Venice, Milan and Genoa. These three cities were devoted to foreign countries all at once, not to a 10-year loan or a 20-year loan. It was to give up control forever.

Even Florence, another metropolitan city, was temporarily passed to the Empress of Foreign Countries.

The Northwest was torn apart by the nobles of the south of Frank.

On the other hand, the only reward our empire gives to the kingdom of Sardinia is to stop the war.

Signing this humiliating 'surrender document' remained a great dishonor for the nobles. There was a reason the Foreign Minister hesitated. I whispered in his ear pretending to support the Foreign Ministry.

“We can continue the war as long as we want, Duke. ”

“ ……. ”

The Foreign Minister trembles. This old man stared at me. Is the emotion in your eyes anger or fear? Either way, the Foreign Minister immediately avoided his gaze. He was a nobleman who was bolder or more impetuous than the late Roadie.

Eventually, the Foreign Secretary stamped and stamped.

I joyfully waved my right hand instead of the Foreign Minister.

“How many more good days could I have? The war that only brought despair and harm to both countries finally declared the tabernacle. That Dantalian palace is deeply grateful to the delegates of the nations who are returning to the country on behalf of His Majesty, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Asia, as well as to be here today! ”

The envoys surrounding you clap their hands together. None of them cared about or respected the Kingdom of Sardinia. Oh, of course the Representatives of the Habsburg Republic remained silent, but I won't count on them being the worst.

On this night, a big ball celebrated the end of the war was held.

Laura had to stay in the crowd and take care of the errands, so I took the Sanctuary Longgwi as a partner and attended the ball. Of course, the Longgwi girl first went on a rampage.

“Why me again! You can't exactly get a girl to take you to the ballroom! ”

“There's no spirit I can take in a place like this. Holy woman, please look at me. I kept my promise to give the Kingdom of Brittany a chance to revive, didn't I? What? Can you come with me to the ball as a gift of my faithfulness? ”

“That's it -- this is it! ”

I don't know what you're talking about.

But soon after, it came to light that there was no man to partner with.

Queen Henrietta had already informed me that "I hate the ball", but if I had left to go to the Sanctuary Longgwi, it would have been a diplomatic wedding, so I had no choice but to attend the ball with me.

“This is the last time”, “You have no idea how horrible it is to dance with someone like you”, “This is how she always looks!” I continued to complain until I arrived at the ballroom, etc. This girl deserved to know why she didn't have a boyfriend.

Nothing happened at the ballroom. It was an ordinary glamorous ball.

However, Elizabeth was also present. I was leaning against the column by myself to make sure I didn't bring my partner. After the first dance with the Longgwig, I approached Elizabeth and reached out my hand.

“Dance with me, mademoiselle. ”

“Why did we come all the way out here to dance again? ”

“None.”

I smiled.

“But there's no reason not to dance again, is there? ”

Elizabeth chuckles and puts a light hand on my right hand.

That's how the Second Flame War ended.
