Chapter 210 – 21. I.
* * *
It was when Aran destroyed Zeus Castle and completely occupied the state of Zeus that Vanessa made a decision.
Since it was a border area, the fact that the state of Zeus, which had a large number of troops, fell meant that even the king with his palace could not stop them until Athens.
Even if Aran was second, the 50,000 troops he brought were never easy to see.
“I’ll have to take out the opposing troops.”
“Me, Your Highness?!”
“I will fight against the Great Kingdom with that force.”
“But if you do that, you will lose a huge amount of territory to the traitors!”
The nobles held back.
But she’s adamant.
Don’t you know it’s her Even though the power of the treason is increasing, they will say that it is right to take out the troops and go wild.
But still, the great kingdom had to be stopped.
“They are still the people of Athens. But it’s not a great kingdom. A complete foreign country. I can’t give them any more territory.”
“Majesty…”
The nobles were in awe.
Even if they manage to block the Great Kingdom, an attack by the rebels awaits them behind them. And it won’t be easy to defeat them while fighting the Great Kingdom.
She chose this path at the risk of being dragged down in disgrace.
Is there a servant who won’t admire it?
But at the same time, I was also worried.
After Attica and even Vanessa, if the people who truly care for the country and the people lose like that, Athens has no future anyway.
Aphrodite, the leader of the treasonous island? He pretends to be for the people on the outside, but everyone knows he’s the dirtiest bitch of all nobles.
For the sake of power and wealth, he not only squeezes the people, but also casually kills the aristocrats who have helped him in the meantime, or makes political parties think of both sides.
“Your Highness, please think again. You shouldn’t abandon even Your Highness like this.”
“That’s right. If it’s really for the sake of the people, you have to survive until the end.”
Despite their begging her, Vanesha shook her head.
“Actually, I gave up halfway. I heard that there is Persia and the Mei Empire behind the great kingdom? Treason and everything else are meaningless. It will be eaten by the great kingdom. If that’s the case… I’d rather fight.”
“Majesty…”
Vanessa’s resolve seemed very firm.
So much that I can’t.
‘I can’t send someone like this… Like this.’
But I wanted to save it.
She thought that this woman she wanted to save.
“Your Highness, would you rather negotiate with the great kingdom and enter the tributary country?”
“Yeah?! What, what?”
“It is impossible to become a vassal state of the Mei Empire, but it is possible if it is a vassal state of the Great Kingdom. In the first place, it will be difficult for them to manage if their territory suddenly expands, so we have no choice but to take this form. In that case, it seems better for us to bow first. “
Vanessa groaned.
“Of course not! My sister… She sacrificed so much for what… She’s a vassal again!”
“Your Majesty, you must look broadly. If we die fighting, who will protect our people? You know how many greedy and filthy nobles are everywhere. I’ll buy it.”
“Even if you become a subject country, it’s just as difficult!”
“There is a difference between us bowing down and becoming a vassal state and losing a war and becoming a vassal state. Now… With our troops still in good standing, we can still lead negotiations in our favor!”
“…I can’t think of any other way.”
At first, the nobles who looked at her with the eyes of what nonsense she was talking about nodded as she continued.
For now, that seemed to be the best way.
“Then… What about the lost castle of Zeus and the souls of the people who lived there? Are you saying we should ignore them all?”
“It’s unfortunate. However, there are tens of thousands of them, and they are already dead. There are millions of living people. Are you sure you only think of them?”
“Still, it’s a vassal state. I can’t do that! I can’t do that!”
Vanessa spoke with her almost weeping face, and her aristocrats were skeptical, both persuading her and arguing with each other.
It was such a serious and huge issue that no one did anything else.

“A letter from Your Excellency Aphrodite is coming.”
Aran, who was taking a break after occupying the state of Zeus, received a visit from a nobleman.
She introduced herself as Mulla, a member of the Noble Republic.
“Aphrodite? Is he the nobleman who was said to have caused the rebellion?”
“That’s right.”
She was stunned at the part of ‘her treason her’, but she agreed because it was actually true.
“Your Highness, I am here.”
The nobleman who received her letter from her brought it to her Aran with the utmost politeness.
When I received the letter and opened it, I saw that it was written with dense lines, and it was a masterful handwriting comparable to that of Catherine.
“Hmm…..”
The content was a bit puzzling.
The nobles, including Aphrodite, recognized Attica’s incompetence her and had no choice but to revolt, saying that they would punish Attica and its royal family for the crime.
And it was written that they wanted to negotiate about that and their future existence.
‘What is this again?’
That is also absurd, but what is even more absurd is that the woman smiling in front of her eyes her is a gift, so it is written that she should use it as she pleases.
“…Do you know the contents of this letter?”
“I don’t know. I just came running after receiving an order to deliver it to Your Highness.”
“Okay.”
Alan slightly frowned at her.
If you did n’t know the contents of her correspondence with her, you would n’t know how she was treating you.
No matter what kind of human being Aphrodite is, once she becomes a duke, there is no way she doesn’t know about Aran.
Send a nobleman to him who is famous for being a man and a sex horse and use it as you like?
This is no different than being offered as a sex slave.
If you knew that, you wouldn’t be laughing like that.
“What do you think of Duke Aphrodite?”
“Yes? Ah…Well. I think he’s a good person who is beautiful, brilliant, and knows how to care for people!”
“Okay.”
Also.
I don’t know anything.
Aran feels sorry for her, but she has no reason not to accept it.
Besides, if she was abandoned in this way, she would have no future even if she returned.
“I received your letter. Rest in your room. I will call you separately.”
“Yes. Your Highness.”
She walked away with a proud smile that she had done a good job.
After she left, the mouths of the nobles who had been closed burst like a dam.
“Your Highness, they are also treason. They are not worth dealing with.”
“Yes. I am afraid that your Highness’ reputation will be damaged.”
“I don’t have the honor to be so flawed. Let’s hear it.”
“If you say so, I will follow.”
The attitude of the nobles was quite different from when they were in the Great Kingdom.
Aran’s horse was obedient to the point of being like that even if it was black or white.
“Hmm…Is it time to go back to being a woman…”
“Huh, huh…That, Your Highness!”
A noble came forward in awe at Aran’s muttering.
“What happened?”
“I, Your Highness, this look suits you the most.”
“That’s right. The grace and dignity that flows even when you are still will make all people worship you.”
Alan laughed inwardly.
Why do nobles do that?
This is because when Aran turns into a woman, her personality completely changes, and she can’t even open her mouth to nobles.
She slightly averted her gaze, and it looked like she wished Illyana and Theodora would also remain men.
‘I did suffer a lot, though.’
Aran had no intention of turning into a woman anyway.
She kept her mana lines on the line, and she also finished sparring with Illyana and Theodora.
Besides, isn’t there a gift she should enjoy?
‘Let’s just skip today. Then open your eyes in a useless place.’
“I just did it.”
* * *
“Your Highness, did you call?”
Aran called her mullah into her own room her.
She was not interested in negotiating with Aphrodite, but it was polite to accept her gifts to her.
Besides, she seemed to give me something different pleasure.
For example… Being pierced in despair…
She said, ‘She seems to admire Aphrodite, so it’s going to be a pretty funny situation.’
He smiled at her and lifted her up.
Mulla expressed her doubts about being summoned to the bedroom, not the office or drawing room, at this late night.
‘What? Could it be that… Is she looking at me?’
His gossip her, however dull and simple, she knows.
A rare color horse!
Wouldn’t it be obvious if he called him to his bedroom her at night?
She thought it was slightly dirty, but she didn’t show it with her expression.
Just open your mouth
“Your Highness, I have a husband and children.”
“Yes?”
As soon as she entered, Aran, who had not expected to say such a thing, was slightly surprised.
‘But. It’s strange not knowing.’
But he soon smiled.
“Is that so?”
Then he put her hand around Mullah’s narrow waist and led her to her bed.
“Ah…Well, I’m Nam…Eup!”
He put her tongue her in her hastily opened lips her and massaged her hips and waist with both her hands.
“Ugh!”
