223 “(Quick Travel) Meat Eating Journey” Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Western Palace‧Prostitution Chief Guard (15)

The war with the Kingdom of Menit suddenly became fierce for some reason. This country, which has a large border with the Kingdom of Kosai, has been at odds with the Kingdom hundreds of years ago.The war between the two sides is endless, and often after decades of peace, fighting will break out again.

But all this time, the scale of this kind of battle has not been too large. It is often just a brief contact and fighting at the border, and has no impact on the normal operation of the kingdom.So when she received the news that the cavalry from the Menit Kingdom had invaded the border city of Tallinn, Margery thought she had heard wrong.

“That group of barbarians, not only occupied Tallinn, but also gave away all the civilians in the city…” Anthony frowned, because the facts were too bloody and cruel, and the second half of his sentence was choked in his throat, making the unfinished words even more terrifying.

After a moment of astonishment, Margaery immediately calmed down: “The Royal Guards must be on their way over, but they still need time, and they cannot let the Menites occupy more cities…” She mused, “Let Duke Hessenwell lead the troops and rush over, and Andrew…”

A string of names flowed out of her mouth, almost all of them loyal to the king and princess, which is what the nobles privately called the royal party.In a matter of seconds, when the war suddenly broke out, the young princess made a perfect response plan.

What a pity, Anthony couldn’t help but feel sorry for his good friend in his heart. If she was not a princess but a prince, there would be no room for her cousin to play around in the royal court.”By the way, Arthur…” He thought of Arthur who had just left camp, and looked at Margaery with some concern.

But the girl just waved her hand: “Now is not the time to care about him.”

She has more important things to do. Starting from handling national affairs when she was fourteen years old, as her political skills become more and more mature and she contributes more and more to the country, in her heart, whether it is her lover, relatives, or even herself, I am afraid that she will be ranked second to the country.

She no longer knows whether she is unable to give up because she has given too much, or whether she is giving up desperately because she cannot give up.Her father once said that she was too tolerant. She would not speak out when she was wronged, and would not cry when she was in pain. Such strength made her always look like an arrogant and unkind person.

“You are more suitable to be a king than me. In other words, you are a born good king.”

Because as a king, you can never be wanton.Was her father’s words a compliment or a pity for her?Margaery didn’t know that at some point she would suddenly realize that she was exactly the same person as Arthur.

She is bound by responsibility, and he is bound by loyalty. If neither of them can take the lead in breaking the deadlock, there may be no future and hope.

Margaery’s original plan was to kill the war before it expanded, but no one expected that troops from the Maynit Kingdom rushed to the border between the two countries in a steady stream, as if they were ready to start an all-out war.Naturally, the Kingdom of Kosai could not sit still and wait for death. Orders were quickly sent to all directions in the kingdom. The king who used to sing and dance in peace began to stand ready and look solemn.Margery dealt with government affairs and military reports day and night, and even Alexander III, who was recuperating in the summer palace, rushed back to the palace.

In such a tense atmosphere, more than a month passed in a blink of an eye.The city of Tallinn, which was initially occupied by the Menite army, changed hands several times, and was finally recaptured by the Royal Guards again.Everyone in the palace was jubilant when the news came, which also meant that the Menite army no longer had a stronghold in the palace and began to rout on a large scale.

Margery could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She had not been able to sleep well for three days in a row, so she called Anthony to explain the matter at hand. She stood up unsteadily and was about to take a rest when her vision suddenly went dark and she fainted.
