Chapter 160 – Tesseito, Leon, and Johannes’ Holy Country (2) *Illustration of Saint Angelina With Huge Breasts*
Tesseito, Leon, and the circumstances of the Holy Kingdom of Johannes (2)
Yuno called Leon’s diplomat back to the royal palace and relayed what he had discussed with Rachel.
“The conditions are as follows. How do you think? If trade between the two countries becomes more active by giving us a trade port again, wouldn’t it be a bad thing for Leon? That will make it easier for King Leon to raise a slush fund.”
Since Leon’s diplomat entered the palace as soon as he arrived in the Balkans, he appeared to flinch as if he had not yet noticed that the Prime Minister was Princess Rachel.
‘Ah, no, how can we find out that His Majesty the King’s slush fund is coming from there…’
“And anyway, part of Polygal Island belonged to our Balkan Empire, right? The deposed Emperor Henry gave it to them, so let’s just return at least one port to the Empire. We have granted Leon’s request. “Isn’t it right for Leon to make concessions to this extent?”
At Yuno’s words, Leon’s diplomat nodded his head in agreement.
“I am grateful for His Majesty’s proposal. I will probably have to inform the home country and receive instructions, but I think it will be easily accepted.”
“Good. Diplomats from Tesseito and Johannes have also requested an audience, so let’s end our conversation here. We are planning a light tea party to welcome the Lord at night, so please join us.”
“I will definitely attend. Thank you, Your Majesty.”
As the diplomat from Leon bowed and retired, the diplomat from Tesseito entered the royal palace.
Since Tesseito’s diplomat did not request a private visit, many of his subjects were waiting for him along with Yuno.
The man who had recently battled with the Duke of Tesseito seemed very nervous, as if he was well aware that his life could be put at risk if he were to be too picky as he had ascended to the throne.
“Oh, the glory of the Balkan Empire, I come to see Your Majesty the Emperor.”
“Emperor Ho-Oh…? I think I heard a rumor that you once said that you did not recognize my country as an empire… Now you are recognizing it as an empire again? I am very grateful for that.”
“I apologize, Your Majesty.”
Diplomat Te Seito reacted to Yuno’s sarcastic remark and presented the national letter he had brought to Yuno.
“Hmm… Well, to sum it up, I congratulate you on your ascension to the throne, and I’m sorry for attacking you without declaring war, but I have no intention of spitting out the Zenon Plain territory again. We plan to make it our land for the next 10 years, so you guys should not overdo it and just be crushed. Is this it?”
“Well, that is…”
Yuno felt anger welling up as he looked at Te Seito’s extremely arrogant state records, but he suppressed his anger because he thought that as an emperor, he could not swear openly.
“So”
“Yes?”
“So, what are your conditions? Whether it means tearing up this national record or cutting you off, you have to listen to the conditions first, right?”
“Oh, well, that is…”
When he saw Tesseito’s diplomat hesitating and embarrassed by his question, Yuno, who had expected an answer to at least return a portion of the occupied territory, was beyond angry and even absurd.
“No? Then you just want us to be crushed for ten years without any conditions? You crazy bastards!!! Yes, I’ll send you the answer. The answer is yours, so I’ll cut you off right now!! Come here!!”
“Hey Iik!!”
When Juno got up from the throne and raised his spirits, Tesseito’s diplomat crouched in fright, and Liechtenauer, who was guarding Juno under the palace, ran over and grabbed Juno’s courage.
And the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marquis Neutora, and Minister of Defense, Count Maier, had to risk their lives to run in and calm Juno down.
“Calm down!! Your Majesty!! You must stay calm!!”
“What kind of trouble is this? Am I supposed to stay silent after hearing things like that? Isn’t this just a way to tell our empire to join us right now?”
“Anyway, it’s obvious that they sent diplomats to provoke His Majesty. They probably want to stick around and deal with a slightly weakened army before the imperial legions are restored.”
Yuno huffed at Mayer’s words and let go of her anger.
“Phew… I know, but it was so ridiculous that I stopped… Thank you for stopping me.”
Yuno took a deep breath for a moment to catch his breath and then called Tesseito’s diplomat.
“Hey. When you get back to Carmarthen, tell Tyruen that the imperial army will start marching to reclaim the Plains of Zenon in a year. It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, so just do your best to stop it. Do you understand?”
“B, but we, the Kingdom of Tesseito, have a 10-year truce period set with Henry…”
“Heinrich has fallen, and it is none of our business to know who made the promise. This is the official position of our Balkan countries and our country. If you have heard everything, get out of here.”
“Your Majesty!! Your Majesty!!”
“Knights of the Guard!! Chase that guy out right away and beat him just enough, so he doesn’t die!!”
“Yes! Your Majesty!!”
At Yuno’s order to beat up the diplomats and chase them away, all the subjects in the palace shook their heads and shook their heads, but the imperial order that had already been given did not change.
Tesseito’s diplomat begged for his life, but the Knights of the Royal Guard, who were enraged by his remarks in the royal palace, did not forgive him.
In the end, he was beaten up, taken to the space movement magic circle, and expelled from Balkan.
“Your Majesty! One year is…”
After Tesseito’s diplomat was kicked out, the Minister of Administration, the Marquis of Trier, opened his mouth as if he was troubled.
“I know, too. It must be a short time to completely stabilize the country, which is on the verge of complete collapse in the West. And thanks to the seeds developed by the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, the empire will not have a shortage of food right away even without the Zenon Plain, so the Zenon Plain will be used as before. “I know very well that it is not essential.”
“Then… Why…”
“But! Don’t you all know that that’s not the only meaning of Zeno Plain? Zeno is a place that symbolizes Balkan’s national power and a symbol of Balkan’s empire. You can’t fight in such a place properly. Since I stole it from Seito, isn’t that just something to be laughed at? Do you understand that I will never suffer the same humiliation as I did today?”
“Yes! I will keep that in mind! Your Majesty!!”
Yuno smiled for a moment as he watched his subjects answer loudly in unison, then continued to give orders.
“Vice Minister Derian will grant the status of tens to hundreds of Tessidanikana soldiers, except those who wish to return to their hometown, and transfer them to the 5th Corps so that the 5th Corps can be rebuilt as soon as possible!!”
“Yes! I understand.”
“Minister Mayer merges the remaining forces of the Capital Corps with the 1st and 4th Corps to create a new 1st and 2nd Guards Corps, and then merges the rebuilt 5th Corps into a Guards Corps and trains them! They will reclaim the Zenon Plain and fight once again. It will be the vanguard that will take over Streve!!”
“Yes, I understand!”
“Other departments should also cooperate and spare no effort in rebuilding the corps!!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!!”
Tesseito’s hasty provocation only boosted Yuno’s desire to recapture Zenon, and Yuno decided to capture Streve once again a year later.
“Then the next schedule is… The Holy Kingdom of Johannes. I will be receiving a request for an audience with the Holy Kingdom of Johannes. Hmm? The person who came this time is not a diplomat…”
“Yes. It is said that the saint came to personally congratulate her on her enthronement. And she requested a private meeting with Her Majesty… What will you do?”
“Hmm… Hasn’t Johannes Castle been quiet these days? Nothing much will happen. I’ll accept it. Please let me in.”
When Yuno announced that he would be receiving a request for a private visit, all the subjects present at the royal palace went to their departments to attend to work, and a pink-haired saint quietly entered the royal palace.
‘Wow… Look at those breasts… Big breasts, no, they’re at the level of huge breasts, right? If it weren’t for the priest’s uniform she was wearing, wouldn’t it be credible to say that she was a succubus and not a saint? It may not be as good as Kurimu and Miruku, but it’s that much… Gulp’
“I meet His Majesty, the Emperor of the Balkan Empire. Although I am lacking in many ways, I am Angelina, who holds the position of a saint in the Holy Land of Johannes.”
When he saw Saint Angelina walking towards him with bouncing breasts that were almost the same size as Catherine and Yuria and showing her respect, Juno’s dick twitched and responded to the beautiful woman’s body.
Still, since she was a key figure in a foreign country, and she was not particularly lacking in women, Juno, who had no intention of messing with the saint, cleared her throat and adjusted her clothes.
“Hmm… Yes. Why did the saint come to visit?”
“I sincerely congratulate Your Majesty on your accession to the throne, and I have come with a letter from His Holiness the Pope to further promote friendship between our country and the Balkan countries.”
Angelina handed Yuno a letter and stood in front of him.
Then Juno read the Pope’s letter and tilted her head to look at the saint.
“The Holy Kingdom wants to form an alliance with our empire, and wants to build a temple for the Sky God that the Holy Kingdom worships in its capital, Adria? I have no particular intention of deciding on a state religion…? The Holy Kingdom considers anyone who does not believe in the Sky God to be a heretic. Isn’t it stipulated? I have no intention of starting a religious war in the empire!”
The empire had as many different religions as its vast landmass, and did not discriminate or restrict them.
However, since the Holy Kingdom of Johannes recognized only the God of Heaven as the only god, it was a powerful religious state that even mobilized heresy inquisitors to forcibly convert or even execute those who did not believe in the God of Heaven.
‘But why would such a religious country build a temple in Adriatic… If one more temple is built, the number of healers will increase and the quality of life of the people of the empire will increase… But this…’
Angelina began to explain with an earnest expression to Yuno, who was staring at her.
“That is not true. This time, a new Pope has ascended to the throne, and his country is trying to propagate peaceably. I will never cause trouble, and to prove it to him, I, as a saint, will personally remain in Adriatic and serve the people of the empire.”
“What? You’re staying here yourself? Are you saying this knowing that you could become a hostage?”
“Yes. That’s right. Can you trust our sincerity now?”
‘I can’t completely believe it, but… If the Holy Kingdom of Johannes becomes an ally, the benefits are significant. Not only could it put pressure on Tesseito, but it could also divert some of the corps on the northern front to the west… But… Something is suspicious…’
“For now, I will discuss Seongguk’s proposal with my subjects. We have prepared a tea party for diplomats from other countries in the evening, so why not join the tea party this evening and talk more with Jim?”
“Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. Then, I will leave…”
Yuno looked at Angelina with suspicion until the end as she bowed once again and left her position, and read Seongguk’s proposal, but could not find anything unusual.
And when the sun set and Kurimu and Miruku came to see him and informed him that the tea party was ready, Yuno got up and headed to the tea party in the imperial garden with them.
