Chapter 559 Private Conversation at Night
Adila put her hand on her husband's chest and felt the beating heart. When she first got married, she was a little uncomfortable with the too strong heartbeat. As time went by, she gradually gained a sense of comfort. sense of security.
In the lack of light in the bedroom, she put her head on her husband's shoulder and whispered,
"What's wrong, are you worried about Masnuo and the others again?"
Imric did not move, letting his wife come over and hug him, sighing silently,
"Not only the present, but also the future..."
"The kingdom needs to change. This is an inevitable thing. If we continue to follow the previous autonomy policy and let the nobles rule the subordinate territories, it will be difficult for us to take further actions." Adila knew what her husband wanted to do, a In a centralized kingdom, there are currently 30,000 elven soldiers under the palace. These are supported by the kingdom's finances, but more militiamen rely on local nobles to summon them.
Even though the rule of the Dragon Tamer family has made people somewhat forget the politics of co-governance by nobles, this influence still exists, and the prince's orders are often not directly conveyed to the ears of the common people.
Accompanying this are various policy issues. The palace has issued a large amount of funds to subsidize people's livelihood, but many of them are still chosen by the Dragon Prince to invest in militia training. This matter is indeed in line with tradition, but it is not in line with Imri. Ke currently wants to work hard to increase the national policy of fertility.
"The number of newborns last year was far from what was expected. There were less than 2,000. Compared with Qingyan Port's fertility rate of nearly 10%, I feel worried." Imrik rubbed his brows, although he tried his best to promote fertility. , but the effect is minimal.
The number of newborns is not even as high as the number of people who died naturally or in battle. In addition, Asur will feel the call of Asuryan when he is old and think that life has become numb and abnormal, and choose to commit suicide. The population of the kingdom It is actually showing a slow decline.
The situation in Caledor is in sharp contrast to other kingdoms. The era of maritime trade gave the people money, and they became pregnant while pursuing enjoyment. Even though raising children is a troublesome matter, the palaces of all kingdoms have Complete subsidy policy.
But when it was Caledor's turn, a group of warriors only wanted to gain fame on the battlefield, which really embarrassed Imrik as the prince.
"The proposal for women to join the military has always been on the desk. We must change the domestic public opinion situation and shift the focus to people's livelihood. Otherwise, both the marriage rate and the number of newborns will decline further."
Headache, this is what Imrik is thinking now. How could Avalon return to normal so quickly after the war? It was because of Elsa's unrelenting blessing, which forcibly increased the fertility rate.
None of the gods worshiped by the mainstream in Caledor control fertility, and now that Sotek has been introduced, they just want to fight and kill all the Chaos scum and rats every day.
Imrik turned around, and even in the darkness, he could still see his wife's gentle, watery eyes.
"Introducing Aisha's faith, do you think this is feasible?"
Adila knew very well that this was her husband asking her what she thought. If Elsa's influence in Caledor was expanded, then the Eternal Queen would have more reason to interfere in some matters.
Emotion is emotion, and identity is identity. The identity difference between Imrik and Alarielle determines that this emotion must be mixed with many other factors.
"I have no objection to this matter. It will also give Dracnir a companion. I also want to meet Alishara."
Imric felt a little guilty, not only for his wife, but also for Alishara, whom he only met once when his daughter was born.
This was a last resort, as Drachnir was able to deprive Sotek of the concept of Son of Sotek by relying on the ceremony he and Minasnir performed in Chakua.
But Alisara cannot. As the future eternal queen, the phenomenon of dragon transformation must be restrained. The ceremony only replaces Sotek with the side of the dragon father, rather than completely eliminating it.
If he was too close to her when he was young, the efforts of the priests of Avalon would be in vain. Compared with the vague divine power of Elsa, the power in the blood is undoubtedly more obvious.
"Well, I will discuss this matter with Alarielle and build large temples to Elsa throughout Caledor."
Adila nodded, suddenly remembering a person in Lothern, and changed the subject, "You and Phyllis are getting along quite happily, right?"
"It's not bad, but she still refuses to go back to the palace with me. She just wants to catch spies to prove her ability."
These words made Adira smile. She had known about Felice's existence a long time ago. After all, she was the maid who had accompanied the Dragon Prince for more than two hundred years.
Perhaps it is this long waiting that proves the firmness of her heart. A girl who hides love deeply in her heart can only silently look at the back of the person she loves, but dare not express the slightest love.
It's really a shame and sad.
"She is a big shot. She has occasionally come forward a few times before, and people have asked me about her family background."
"So you said she was my mother's adopted daughter, so that people were afraid that they would meet me in the future and gave up the idea?" Imrik slapped Adira on the butt angrily, causing her to roll her eyes. .
"In a sense, this is indeed a true thing. Don't think I don't know. There is a room in the palace that has been prepared for Phyllis. Miranda will clean it every once in a while."
"The room is almost moldy. It doesn't have anything a girl should have. It's all about maps and military intelligence analysis."
Adila snorted coldly. It was a bit silly to think of the former dragon prince as an innocent man. He was just more interested in dragons than women, but that didn't mean he was not interested.
"By the way, if you really plan to go to Kislev, Masno and the others should be enough." Adira who asked the question felt puzzled. Imric had already sent out enough With the power of Masnow, Davian, Iron Wolf, Creon, and the invitation of Belannar and Eltharion, plus the Sun Army led by Ku Ga, this army is enough to fight a large-scale battle. battle.
"I don't worry about some things, mainly because..." Imrik thought about it for a while, but decided not to speak out about it. If this fate were to befall him, he would only sneer and say that everything would change.
But when the matter concerned his wife and daughter, his confidence was slightly shaken.
"It's best if you don't know. It's not a good thing anyway."
"Then I won't ask." Adira pouted, feeling a little dissatisfied, "Then who are you going to take? Only his son can wake Minas Nir, and now only Ingersoll can cooperate with you in the battle. "
"Kukulza, Tehenhoin has made a new toy. I checked it out before. It's quite powerful." Seeing Adira's slightly worried look, Imrik was annoyed. He lifted his tight waist and said, "There is nothing to worry about. I will never fight against the undead champion this time. I will only serve as Kukulza's pendant."
