Chapter 288

But at least, both the nobles and kings in the country want to be slower.

This time, Count Rand suffered "significant losses", which in some sense was in line with the interests of the nobles in the Frost Moon Kingdom and the king.

Just now Rand is very angry and plans to deduct port income, which makes them feel very uncomfortable.

and material and human resources matters.

The Frost Moon Kingdom has this tradition, and it is indeed unreasonable if it does not support it at all.

Otherwise, if Rand really had resentment towards the Frost Moon Kingdom and even did some extreme behavior, it would also be a major loss to the Frost Moon Kingdom.

The king of the Frost Moon Kingdom was in a good mood at this time.

He actually supported some high-quality knights in Rand, but the number was not as large as that of the Grand Duke of Thorns.

The royal family of the Frost Moon Kingdom also invested a lot in Xinyue Port, but Rand should not deduct the royal family's share.

After all, Rand is now a direct vassal of the king.

None of these are the key points.

The most important thing is.

Now these nobles in the country are trapped in the same problem as him, the king.

The king wanted to suppress Rand a long time ago, but was worried that Rand was really resentful, so he was distressed for a long time.

The same is true for domestic nobles now. They are also worried that Rand really hates them, after all, what they did is not very authentic.

But they didn't want Rand to develop too fast and didn't want to lose the interests of Qianyue Port.

As the only sea-to-sea port in the Frost Moon Kingdom that is about to be built, it will inevitably bring huge benefits.

Unlike the nobles, His Majesty the King's support for Rand this time, he listened to the opinions of Grand Duke Thorn and did not deliberately disgust Rand.

Although there is not much support, it is not enough to recruit troops to deal with it.

The great nobles of the Frost Moon Kingdom looked at each other and clamored for a while, and then looked at the king.

The king coughed lightly and said lightly, "You know everything you have done yourself. Now there is nothing wrong, it's already good."

The domestic nobles remained silent.

But they also knew that they could only give Rand some compensation now.

Rand must have suffered a significant loss. If he did not "compensate", Rand, who is the most military capable of being among the younger generation in the Frost Moon Kingdom.

Then in the future, when there is war, Rand may take revenge.

The current world pattern is still unclear, and at least the Frost Moon Kingdom will still need Rand in the future.

In the conference room of the Frost Moon King King King, Grand Duke Thorn did not participate in the discussion.

As a great duke with an extra standard, he is not at the same level as an ordinary great noble.

His status is a little lower than that of the king.

Although the nobles in China all know that Grand Duke Thorn is a shameless person, this does not affect Grand Duke Thorn's lofty status in the Frost Moon Kingdom.

The final agreed result.

It is allowed to intercept some of the recruits to support him.

The domestic nobles knew that Rand would definitely steal a little population secretly, and now it is just part of the compensation.

As for the supplies, there was only some food, which was just enough to supply the recruitment troops agreed to be intercepted by Rand.

The others are gone.

After all, Rand already said that he would seize the profits of the port, so the domestic nobles did not intend to provide more.

Even if Rand doesn't deduct it, the same is true for domestic nobles.

Aristocrats are such stingy creatures!

To be honest, providing so much population and food is already a compromise.

Then there was a meeting to discuss counterattack against the Kingdom of Poron.

I don't agree anyway.

The discussion will be finished soon.

After the meeting, the nobles left the venue.

Only the Grand Duke of Thorns and the King of Frost Moon Kingdom were left behind.

Since the Grand Duke of Thorns received the detailed battle report given to him by Rand, he knew that Rand's losses were not as great as those mentioned in the battle report.

But as Rand's "poverty" ally, Grand Duke Thorn will definitely not reveal Rand's past.

The king of the Frost Moon Kingdom looked at Grand Duke Thorns and said, "What do you think about the current situation?"

Grand Duke Thorn closed his eyes and said, "I can't see."

The veins on the forehead of the king of the Frost Moon Kingdom swelled: "Don't pretend to be blind!"

Grand Duke Thorn thought that he had a handle in the king's hands, so he had to sigh and said, "Didn't it just keep the political balance you want in a two-party confrontation?"

The King of Frost Moon Kingdom did want to balance, but the current balance actually made him feel that he could not do anything.

Grand Duke Thorns did not care about the king's original operations. Before the civil war began 4 years ago, the elder brother of the King of the Frost Moon Kingdom, the eldest prince, was the theoretical heir.

But the eldest prince and the old king died in battle.

The king of the Frost Moon Kingdom today does not receive much political education. To be honest, Grand Duke Thorn thinks he is already very talented.

From the frequent use of stupid moves at the beginning, to the fact that we can gradually maintain the domestic situation and make domestic nobles respect the king's opinions, this is already very good.

Grand Duke Thorns thinks that His Majesty the King can do better and better.

The current atmosphere of the domestic powder barrel can be slowly suppressed by the king. Just take it slowly, and the probability of truly igniting is not high.

The king of the Frost Moon Kingdom would be worried and would ask him for advice, which was precisely a manifestation of his intention to deal with it seriously.

Instead of planning to do it alone.

Grand Duke Jingthorn felt that there was nothing to worry about, so he planned to pretend to be blind and say more and make mistakes.

"This is not the balance I want," said the King of Frost Moon Kingdom.

Grand Duke Thorns understand very well.

As a king, it is normal for him to maintain authority, to develop the country, and to maintain domestic stability.

But in fact, just get a little better.

If the nobles in the country became a faction and suppressed the king's decision, the king would probably feel uncomfortable now.

"It's okay, just deal with it a little." Grand Duke Jingthorn didn't care.

Grand Duke Thorns looked at the face of the king of the Frost Moon Kingdom.

"Don't think too much. You might as well live longer. Living longer is more useful than anything else." Grand Duke Thorn felt that the face of the king of the Frost Moon Kingdom looked much older than himself.

They are obviously about the same age.

It was a real pain to be treated like this.

The king of Frost Moon Kingdom sighed and nodded, indicating that he knew.

"So goodbye." Grand Duke Thorn thought for a while and said, "I heard that eating more fish is good for the body. Rand gave me a lot of frozen fresh fish, and I will give you some next time."

Afterwards, Grand Duke Thorns left the conference room.

The life creed of Grand Duke Thorn is completely different from that of the king of the Frost Moon Kingdom.

As a great duke, as long as you are shameless, your life will be filled with "flowers and praise".

He just needs to make key decisions and not make mistakes.

For example, now that Rand is rising, as long as he doesn't go against Rand, there will be no problem with the Thorns family.

As for domestic issues.

As he said, if a king lives longer, the problem will be solved.

otherwise.

The eldest prince is a person who is not good at seeing his quality, the second prince is a waste, and the third prince is not capable, but his mother, the second prince and the eldest prince are not the same.

The eldest prince and the third prince have many potential supporters in the country.

Oh, if he fought another civil war, he wouldn't be able to stand it.

...

Three days passed quickly.

Morning.

Rand was pushed out of bed by Ellie.

Rand loosened his arms around Ellie's waist and then dressed with Ellie.

Many times Rand can't help but touch Ellie's smooth skin, and Ellie has long been used to it.

Then there is breakfast together.

If Olena, Elsa and Lesa don't have additional quests.

We will come here for breakfast together.

Just like today.

Then Ellie took Olena to deal with government affairs.

Lesa went out to "hang out" herself.

Rand took Elsa to "hang out".

Sometimes Elsa and Olena would exchange positions, mainly depending on Rand's specific needs.

Rand took Elsa away from the residence.

Go to Karin's house.

Today is the day for Karin to come out of seclusion.

Rand knocked on the door.

"No one." Karin spoke out from the house.

Rand looked at Elsa.

"Pick the lock," Rand said.

Elsa tidied her collar.

As a powerful thief, she is always considered to be from the assassin.

She is actually a thief!

Especially the kind who is good at stealing.

Elsa inserted the dagger into the keyhole.

Just as she was about to pick the lock, the iron foreskin with poor quality in the keyhole was cut open.

Elsa's dagger is [King of Killers], a complete artifact.

The inferior and somewhat rusty iron sheet was easily cut open.

Elsa blushed a little, and then helped Rand open the door.

This is also a successful lock picking.

Rand enters the house.

The atmosphere of life is a little stronger than before.

But it's still very tidy.

Even if he falls into autism, Karin is a person who strictly demands himself.

Karin was sitting on the bed with her knees in her hands.
