A few days later, Li Ang received letters of credence from various countries.
There are letters of congratulations, armistice agreements, and declarations of war...
This is to be expected.
"This letter is from Queen Ursula on behalf of the Raven Kingdom, congratulating New Kingdom of Pendor as well as Duchy of Lionheart and Duchy of Noldo on their establishment, and requesting an alliance with New Kingdom of Pendor..."
"This letter is from Gregory IV, saying that it strongly condemns a certain little nobleman from Barkley for arrogating the throne and declaring war on New Kingdom of Pendor..."
"This letter is from King Vidis. On behalf of Fieltzwe, he agrees with the two Queen's agreement on Lion Territory and Noldo Territory. He hoped to sign an armistice agreement with Duchy of Lionheart and allow the two principalities to trade with Fieltzwe... but he did not mention New Kingdom of Pendor at all, nor did he mention you."
"The last letter came from Emperor Marius. Emperor Marius expressed his approval of the rule of His Majesty Li Ang and the two Queen over Lion Territory and Noldo Territory. However, at the same time, he declared war on New Kingdom of Pendor and declared that the two principalities should be merged into the Bacchus Empire..."
Sarah reported diplomatic letters from various countries to Li Ang: "His Majesty Marus is really interesting. While recognizing your right to rule, it is declaring war on you..."
"Of course His Majesty Marus will do this. He recognizes my right to rule based on the actual situation, and declares war on me to show his attitude. He wants to appease Baxian's emotions, and also appease our emotions, lest we indulge the Noldo Elvess and beat Bax to pieces and be taken advantage of by other countries..."
Li Ang understands Marius better.
"Actually, I think Bacchus Empire is the only one who truly agrees with New Kingdom of Pendor...Ursula is currently in a tug-of-war with Gregory IV. She just wants to get your support. King Vidis is obviously perfunctory. He probably just doesn't want to fight with you."
Sarah muttered, "Your Majesty, do you want to reply to Ursula? Her alliance request..."
"Let Amy reply to her letter. As Duchy of Lionheart Queen, invite Queen to the wedding. Don't mention anything else..."
Li Ang replied, "The same goes for Vidis. Just invite him to the wedding in a private capacity. As for Emperor Marius... there is no need to reply..."
"His Majesty Li Ang cannot reply to Raven and Fieltzwe with credentials. Only Bacchus Empire is the equal country to Kingdom of Pendor. The other kingdoms are just warlords in the final analysis."
Alina reminded Sarah a little tiredly.
Alina has been organizing various ceremonies these days, and there is also an upcoming wedding being prepared. She is indeed very tired.
"Got it."
Sarah nodded.
"Is there a letter from Dexia?"
Li Ang asked Sarah.
"Dexia didn't send anyone over. According to the news from Xingar, Kadan is blocked by Baxian in Narda, Emil Xixis is also struggling to support Toba City, and more than half of the land in Dexia already belongs to the Bacchus Empire..."
Sarah replied quickly.
"The empire withdrew its troops from Dexia half a month ago. His Majesty Marus forced them to sign a treaty recognizing the defeated countries..."
Alina shook his head at Sarah: "But Aishikeman sent me news that after the empire retreated, Kadan and Emil Xixis no longer attack each other, they have formed an alliance."
"They can actually form an alliance..."
Li Ang raised his eyebrows. "Is there someone trying to match them up?"
"There was indeed a matchmaker, Sarafan Sheikh of Holy War Fortress... He built a fortress between Toba and Narda, prompting Kadan and Emil Xixis reconciled and formed an alliance. Then he spent all his troops to help the two Bahad Khan resist the empire's army, and at the same time signed an armistice with the empire on behalf of the two Bahad Khan."
Alina nodded, but then sighed regretfully, "However, after signing the armistice, Sarafan Shaikh committed suicide."
Sarah was stunned.
After a moment of silence, Sarah asked gently, "Miss Alina, what's the name of that fortress? Is it a holy war fortress?"
Alina probably realized something. She shook her head and answered word for word, "No, it's called 'Martyr's Fortress'."
Li Ang sighed, "Sarah, do you want to go to Dexia? As New Kingdom of Pendor's Minister of Foreign Affairs."
Sarah nodded silently, then burst into tears.
Pendor Calendar 358 end of July.
Longsong Port.
In Adventurer Tavern, the drinkers are talking about all kinds of new things.
"Have you heard? It is said that His Majesty Li Ang held a banquet for ten consecutive days in Long River Town. Anyone, whether they were civilians or beggars, could eat and drink as they pleased... Such a wedding is really..."
"You guys who don't know anything... Long River Town is already Long River City! And it's called a flowing table! The food never stops, and there are countless delicious food available all night long... I was lucky, I went to Long River City to deliver a letter, and ended up eating at Long River City for the whole day!"
"No money?"
"What does it cost? You can even get food for yourself after eating! Li Ang Your Majesty is so generous!"
"It's a good thing you didn't meet any bandits on the way..."
"Bandit? Which bandit is so blind that he dares to cause trouble at this time? Your Majesty Li Ang can command Noldo Elves!"
"Ten days of flowing water... Such a wedding must cost a lot of dinars..."
"Humph, it doesn't matter how many dinars you spend to marry those two brides? He married two beautiful Queens at the same time. This is really enviable... I saw two Queens with my own eyes. They were really indescribably beautiful..."
"It's indeed jealous... But if you marry two people at the same time, won't the two Queens start fighting?"
"Do you think those two Queen are your stupid wives?"
"Ahem, keep your voice down, my wife is now Queen Ursula's bodyguard! Speaking of which, His Majesty Li Ang marries two wives, so who will be the queen?"
"Hey, can't we have two queens? Those are two Queen, and I may not be willing to be a queen..."
"But it seems against the rules... I've never seen any country have two queens..."
"You idiots... I am a king, and I have rules! His Majesty Li Ang said that his New Kingdom of Pendor allows a man to marry three wives, but when marrying the second or third wife, he needs the consent of his previous partner, otherwise he will be convicted. Of course, if a woman has the ability, she can find three men, as long as her partner is willing..."
"It's ridiculous... what man would be happy with that?"
"How absurd is that? If men are allowed to marry three women, then of course women must be allowed to marry three men... Besides, in this world, there are too many men who are supported by women. I see, there are many men who are willing... If Queen Ursula asks you to be her man, will you be willing?"
"Ahem... it's better not to talk about this, I have a fiancée..."
"Well, in the final analysis, you still have to have money..."
"By the way, speaking of making money, I have a way... When I was eating at the flowing banquet at Long River City, roasted lambs were being roasted all the time. His Majesty Li Ang said that roasted whole lambs are a must-have delicacy for banquets..."
"What? Who hasn't eaten roasted lamb..."
"No, no, no, you really haven't tasted it before. Long River City's roast lamb is completely different from what we have here. It's much more delicious... They use southern spices, which we don't have here..."
"What, you plan to start a spice business? There are wars everywhere now. Who dares to go to the south of Bax to purchase goods..."
"No, I want to sell sheep - we have a lot of sheep here! Long River City is buying unlimited goats! Three times the price, you can take as many as you want!"
"It's quite far away. Aren't you afraid of being robbed by bandits?"
"I plan to buy a carriage back... I asked at Long River City that after buying that new type of carriage, you can be escorted by the armed forces. If you are robbed in the jurisdiction of New Kingdom of Pendor, you can get double compensation!"
Xingar.
Similar conversations are taking place in pubs large and small.
However, the second half of the conversation generally changed to another topic...
"I heard that Mr. Ramon is in the mutton business recently..."
"Looking for a fat sheep, right? Xingar Everyone is doing this kind of business..."
"No, no, no, they are real sheep and goats. Mr. Ramon said he would buy them in large quantities at twice the price. Moreover, Mr. Ramon has opened a new roast sheep restaurant in the center of the city, which is where Dusk Knight Order used to be."
"Is roasting sheep very profitable? Sir Ramon actually runs such a small business?"
"What a small business. When did you see Mr. Ramon doing a small business? Haven't you heard that there are three things that are necessary for marriage now... a luxury car, a villa, and roasted whole lamb!"
"I only heard that a banquet cannot be held without barbecue... What? You can't get married without a car or a house?"
"It's not that you can't, the key is that you lose face... Your Majesty, Li Ang, is the one who just married two Queen a few days ago. Have you heard of it? He has publicly said that if a man doesn't have a car or a house, how can he protect his wife and children?"
"He really said that?"
"Not only him, Lord Ramon also said so..."
"Well, you can build your own house, but not everyone can afford to raise a horse. It's not easy to own a carriage..."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense! What His Majesty Li Ang means is that having a carriage means you have your own industry. The carriage can be used to make money! You must be able to support your family before you ask for a wife. This is what they say..."
"That's true. I heard that Long River Express has started recruiting carriages again, and Xingar also has a branch here that plans to open. This is indeed a good livelihood."
"You don't want me to be a coachman, do you? I would rather sell roast sheep..."
"Sir Ramon bought the goat for three times the price. Mr. Ramon can afford to lose money, but you will definitely lose your life... What I want to say is that Long River Express has opened a new industry - the wedding car business! This is the small business that Mr. Ramon looks down on..."
"Oh oh oh, I've heard that when His Majesty Li Ang held his wedding, he traveled all over Long River City in a carriage that looked like a work of art... Is it that kind of wedding car? What kind of ceremony is that?"
"It is said that it was for everyone to witness his marriage, just like a public oath of allegiance. Not only that, the streets of the entire city were sprinkled with flower petals... That scene, tsk tsk tsk, is really unimaginable... I think most people will do this in the future. Are you interested, let's become wedding car owners together..."
"How?"
"Isn't it enough to just buy two luxury carriages... Anyway, Long River Express helps us take business. As long as someone gets married, we will go around twice. We can also carry people when there is no business... This money is not that difficult to earn. The key is to be fast enough! You have to seize the opportunity when you encounter it!"
Mistveil City.
"I've been having a hard time lately... prices have risen too fast!"
"Yes, I can hardly eat. One Dinar can only buy three pounds of flour! I can't live this life..."
"I heard that King Vidis occupies a lot of territory, and Fieltzwe's territory has increased a lot, but why are the days getting worse and worse?"
"Hmph, no matter whether it is the king or the lord, who cares about the life and death of us little people? If they lose, we have no food to eat. If they win, we still have no food to eat... So what if we can't eat, the war tax is not getting higher and higher!"
"Don't talk about us, even those big businessmen can't stand it anymore... You know the Andrew boss in the arena? He has already laid off his employees!"
"The arena can no longer operate? Doesn't his arena have gambling?"
"If it weren't for the gambling, he would have closed down a long time ago! He raised so many ferocious beasts and young men. With the current price of food, just eating a day would cost him hundreds of dinars!"
"Oh... how about we move to another place?"
"Have you heard about Long River City? I heard that His Majesty Li Ang's wedding banquet was held for more than ten days, from morning to night, and anyone could eat as much as he wanted!"
"How rich is that..."
"Are you stupid... Is this a matter of money? I mean, there is food there! And the price of food must not be high! Otherwise, how dare he be so wasteful!"
"Yeah... here, how about we go to Long River City?"
"The question is, how are we going to live? What do we live on?"
"Long River City There are plenty of jobs... They are building a new city. It is said that just building the city wall will require tens of thousands of people. They are always recruiting people. There are plenty of jobs to do!"
"But where will my wife and children live? You can't let your family live on the construction site, right? Besides, we are Fieltzwe people after all. Will His Majesty Li Ang drive us away..."
"You can buy a house. Long River City has built a lot of houses in the city! As long as you buy a house, you can settle in Long River City!"
"Is it expensive to buy a house...?"
"As long as you have a job, you can get a loan to buy a house! No matter what, I plan to go. There is no way to survive if I stay here. One Dinar three pounds of flour... I can buy thirty pounds at Long River City!"
Everywhere, the topics discussed are different.
But everywhere, everyone is talking about the wedding of Li Ang and two Queen.
The wedding was held on July 22. It was not a special day, it just happened to be a good weather day.
That day, Noldo Forest It rained heavily—the ocean monsoon was coming.
The fire in the forest was extinguished.
But on that day Long River Town, the sun was shining brightly and the wind was gentle.
Li Ang rode Alice through the petals in the sky. The exquisite carriage behind him carried Amy and Wendy into a new chapter together.
In fact, that day was not as romantic as people imagined because everyone was very busy.
Sarah is dealing with foreign affairs.
Alina is spreading all kinds of news everywhere.
Ramon is shopping around for all kinds of food.
Li Ang's lords are either working separately or preparing for war.
And the groom Li Ang, even on his wedding night, was discussing various business deals with his two Queens.
--Car, house, food.
