The King of Knights in a Different World

"Did I just talk about something personal?"

This time, facing Mira's words, Lucifer directly chose to ignore them.

He forced the topic onto the document.

"Don't say that.

The news of the concentrated invasion of pirates came three days ago, you should have already responded.

After all, you were... the Grand Duke of the West."

The message on the file is actually very simple.

That is, several bands of pirate leaders on the sea to the west suddenly united and attacked Edinburgh, a city in the west of Britain, but they were defeated by the navy.

However, they didn't seem to give up, but planned to continue to block the alleys at sea, preventing ships from entering or leaving.

"I privately ordered Drake to play defensively and focus on stabilizing the situation for the time being.

I hope the king will not blame me for my decision."

"No, you're doing fine.

You know more about the west than I do, and you have the power to make temporary decisions."

Lucifer did not blame Mira.

It was my big wedding before, if this kind of incident is exposed.

It will undoubtedly cause strong indignation among the knights, and the wedding may not be as peaceful as before.

It is not a big thing to say that this event is big, but the key is the time when it happened.

Just in time for my own wedding, the political meaning here is very obvious.

Dare to make trouble during my wedding time, it seems that you think your peaceful life is too good.

"Is there any other information? With your ability, it should be impossible not to see the hidden relationship."

After thinking about it, Lucifer looked at Mira.

Pirates will act collectively, or choose the time of their wedding.

If there is no black hand among them, Lucifer himself would not believe it.

Even if these pirates really want to become the One Piece King to gain prestige or something, they should find a soft fruit, such as France next to it, not Britain.

"Their backstage funder is Rome."

Semiramis seemed to have anticipated what she had investigated.

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Hearing this, Lucifer instantly understood something.

"According to the current situation, Rome should be trying to attract your attention in this way, and temporarily take your attention away from Rome itself.

They are facing a double attack with Macedonia to the south, and they don't want to have another opponent.

After all, Britain is now in a state of truce between the north and the south, so the remaining goals are very obvious."

Semiramis calmly explained the situation in Rome.

"No, it's two.

If I mobilize the news of the army now, it doesn't mean Lei Di has no action."

The reason why Lei Di didn't see it now is probably because he had the same thoughts as himself.

I want to wait until they fight directly, as long as the fight starts, it will be very difficult to quit.

But before that, they have the possibility of peace talks at any time.

For this reason, we cannot put pressure on them for the time being.

As long as they think they can fight, they will fight.

"War with four countries at the same time, even if it is as strong as Rome, it is not enough.

You won't miss this opportunity, will you?"

"That depends on the opportunity.

The four countries jointly attacked Rome, and then ended in peace talks, and each got part of the territory.

Sounds good, but I'm too interested in it.

Do you know, Mira, I have always believed that it is best not to start a war between countries lightly, but if it starts, you must find a way to kill the opponent at one time, at least cripple it.

Otherwise there will be trouble."

Lucifer expressed his opinion.

Most of the wars in this era are still based on fighting for territory, exchanging human lives for land and money, and most of them are like this.

But what Lucifer thought in his heart was to accomplish all his merits in one battle.

"Your appetite is bigger than you think."

Semiramis does not object to this practice.

On the contrary, she appreciates it.

Just when they were about to say something, a guard's voice came from outside the door.

"My lord, the envoys of Rome beg to see me."

"The envoys of Rome dare to send envoys"

Semiramis was a little weird.

After these goods have done things in the west, they dare to send people over.

They really thought that there was no intelligence department on their side, but Lucifer had a different opinion.

"Don't we already have messengers in our city?"

Compared to the new messenger, Lucifer thinks that it should be that Nero received an order from the Roman emperor to let her return or something like that.

"Oh! It's them.

Do you want to see me?"

"I thought of an interesting thing.

Of course I want to see you.

Send them in."

In a short while, envoys from Rome entered the office.

Lucifer and Semiramis were not as casual as before, but sat in their official positions.

After a simple opening remark, Nero and Laxmi also explained to Lucifer the purpose of their visit.

They received the order and prepared to return, this time to say goodbye.

Of course it was a farewell on the surface, but Nero somehow... still had the idea of ​​testing Lucifer's next move.

"Are you going back so soon?

But the clothes I promised you are not ready yet."

As he said that, Lucifer's expression was full of exclamation.

"Yu didn't want to go back so soon.

But my uncle has issued the highest order, and Yu can only obey.

As for the clothes...you can just send someone to give them to Yu later."

Nero was a little lost at first, but recovered immediately.

She has already figured out how to deal with it.

"It seems like that's the only way to go."

After Lucifer finished speaking, Nero deliberately looked at Semiramis.

"Hey! This... seems to be your prime minister. Before Yu came, were you discussing something important?"

The tone seems out of tune, but it is the beginning of Nero's temptation.

This kind of tone will not cause Lucifer's disgust, if Lucifer doesn't want to say it, she can skip it immediately.

However, Laxmi still felt too rude.

"Your Highness, please pay attention to the influence!"

"Little girl, the big thing we're talking about has to do with Britain.

Do you, as His Majesty of Rome, still want to hear the secrets about Britain?"

Semiramis had a playful look on his face.

no.162 The method of deceiving people (asking for a ticket, asking for a custom order)

She doesn't quite understand whether this...His Royal Highness of Rome is deliberately pretending to be stupid, or is she simply feeling too good about herself.

But seeing that Lucifer didn't respond, she couldn't say anything more.

"certainly.

Because Yu Zhi intuitively told Yu that it was also related to Rome.

Lure, you will tell Yu."

Nero avoided Semiramis' words, and directly came to Lucifer and spoke.

"You are as confident as ever, or rather narcissistic, Nero.

Forget it, it's not a big deal, but it does have something to do with Rome."

Lucifer was not surprised by Nero like this, he also admitted that he was related to Rome.

"What! It really has something to do with Yu"

"Yeah! I don't know if you have...received news from Emperor Caligula, but France and Macedonia have temporarily put aside their prejudices and are preparing to attack Rome together.

By the way, France also invited me to carry out a joint attack. Your uncle wants you to go back because he is worried that once the war starts, you will become my hostage.

The prime minister and I are just considering if we don't agree with France's decision, after all, this is really a good opportunity."

Lucifer was talking nonsense seriously.

Half of what he said was true and half was false.

Semiramis suddenly understood what Lucifer meant, and she also intentionally cooperated with Lucifer.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude, but what you just said is a British secret and cannot be explained to them.

France offered generous terms, and asked us to keep it a secret."

In fact, France currently has no connection with Britain at all.

But according to the two of them, France has already sent a secret envoy, and even the terms are almost negotiated.

Nero and Laxmi were immediately surprised.

They also thought about whether Britain would attack Rome before, but they never thought about the possibility before them.

Because of the identities of Lucifer and Semiramis, and the news from Rome, they felt that this news was very real.

"Combined attack of France and Britain!"

At this moment, Laxmi was extremely surprised.

Nero recovered from her astonishment, she felt the news was very real.

Although the union of Britain and France seems impossible at all, the more impossible the union, the more likely it is.

"The two countries that seem to be the most unlikely to unite on the surface are united. It turns out that this is the result that will surprise Yu.

Why did Lure tell Yu, such important news?"

"Take it as a gift before you leave.
