At this time, Wendy is discussing national affairs with Lion City and Amy and Alina.
It is indeed a national event - they are discussing how Duchy of Lionheart, Duchy of Noldo and Bacchus Empire can live in harmony in the future.
Governing a country is not a simple matter, and these three Queen know this very well.
The situations in the three countries are different, and the characteristics of the three Queen are also different.
Amy is good at economics and people's livelihood, has an overall view, and knows how to use human nature. She can even single-handedly instigate internal fighting between Fieltzwe and Raven Kingdom; but people who look at the overall situation tend to ignore small corners, and this is the case with Amy. She is not good at considering and guarding against conspiracies.
After all, Amy is Princess who has always been in the spotlight, and everyone knows the popular Princess Knight. Her growth experience has destined her thinking habits - even if she uses tricks or deceives others, she will always use obvious schemes, such as luring them for profit.
But her Duchy of Lionheart implements the lord enfeoffment system, that is, 'the subordinates under her are not her subordinates'. There may be no problem now, but in the future there will definitely be many plots from behind, and Amy herself knows this.
Alina is just the opposite. Strategic planning and conspiracies are Alina's strengths. She is also good at discovering conspiracies from clues, and can even use conspiracies to counter conspiracies.
But Alina is not good at stimulating the bloodiness of the soldiers. He doesn't know how to win the morale of the soldiers, and he doesn't know how to personally lead the troops in battles - you can't rely on Li Ang's help to defeat the invaders every time, right?
Moreover, she wants to implement reforms as a dictator, that is to say, she wants to put herself in the spotlight to face everything, and she wants to promote the reform policies left by Emperor Marius.
This is of course a difficult challenge for a person who is used to making plans behind the scenes, and no matter how good the policy is, it must be implemented to be effective - her father Justus is good at thinking about policies, but it is difficult to help her on how to implement them.
Wendy is very good at leading troops in battle. Her martial arts skills are among the best in the entire continent. She also knows how to control the morale of the military. She also knows a thing or two about Machiavellian politics - Li Ang deliberately taught her.
But Wendy is not good at strategic planning, and he knows nothing about the economy and people's livelihood...
Although Duchy of Noldo currently has few foreign enemies, the contradiction between Noldo Elvess and Baxian still exists. If Li Ang had not solved the people's livelihood problems and Alina was suppressing Bax, Wendy would have been in dire straits long ago.
Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and no one is perfect.
The three Queen also just complement each other - if they can work together.
Amy called Wendy and Alina to Lion City just to work together.
"Alina, let me be honest, whether the matter between you and Li Ang is a misunderstanding or not, it doesn't matter. Wendy and I both believe that if Li Ang's third wife is you, we won't mind. So... you should get married, lest Li Ang is still out there messing around with women..."
Amy said it very straightforwardly to Alina.
"Amy, Li Ang are not flirting with women..."
Wendy is standing by to protect the man.
"But Hua Hua Cao Cao will definitely mess with him - it's all the same. Alina, you have to hurry up on this matter, otherwise who knows if some stunning beauty will seduce him... then it will be really troublesome."
Amy spread his hands and shook his head.
"Amy, I know what you mean. But this is not a private matter - this is not only related to two million Baxian people, but also related to the future of everyone Lion Territory and Noldo Territory."
Alina held Amy's hand, just like she did two years ago when Lion City helped Amy to hold on. They have been good sisters in the days when Li Ang disappeared, and it is not embarrassing to discuss these.
She is right. This is not a private matter. The marriage between the new King of Pande and Queen Bax will be directly related to the policies, tendencies and diplomatic logic of several countries. This will directly affect the lives of millions of people and even affect the future of the entire continent.
"You are right, so we must hurry up..."
Amy nodded and held Alina's hand. "It's a bargain Li Ang..."
"Wait a minute... Amy, let me be honest, of course I don't mind this matter, and I also know that this is the best outcome... But I can't marry him without Li Ang saying anything, right?"
Alina smiled bitterly, "My situation is different from yours. Bacchus Empire can regard New Kingdom of Pendor as the leader of the alliance, and the people will also regard Li Ang as the leader of the suzerain country. But Bax cannot become a subordinate principality of New Kingdom of Pendor - if the empire becomes a principality, there will inevitably be many martyrs like Agason, and then there will be another huge civil strife."
"I know this... so on behalf of Li Ang, I will give you a betrothal gift that no one can refuse - one with higher specifications than us."
Amy nodded, she understood Alina.
Lionheart Kingdom was originally the duchy of Kingdom of Pendor. It was originally a principality. Now it is a principality again. This is natural.
The Noldor wandered to the land of New Kingdom of Pendor and settled in the forest. They were migrants who lost their homeland. Giving them a land where they could survive was the goodwill of New Kingdom of Pendor and a kind of virtue.
And Bacchus Empire has a longer history than Kingdom of Pendor. They originally occupied the land south of Kingdom of Pendor in an aggressive way. This was a conquest with a strong attitude...
Baxian can accept New Kingdom of Pendor taking back control of these lands, but will never accept New Kingdom of Pendor imposing any policies on Baxian.
In other words, they can surrender to New Kingdom of Pendor, form an alliance with New Kingdom of Pendor, regard it as Continental Suzerain, and follow New Kingdom of Pendor to advance and retreat together.
But Baxian will not accept the rule of New Kingdom of Pendor. Even if it loses all its land, Bax will still retain the same independent status as Kingdom of Pendor.
Therefore, before Emperor Marius died, he asked Alina to surrender to Li Ang on behalf of Bax, but retained the country's independence. This was the bottom line that Baxian could accept.
If Alina wants to marry Li Ang, it is also a marriage between the monarchs of two equal countries and must follow the logic of equality.
And it must be in line with the logic in people's minds - Alina is the queen of a peer country, not a subordinate of Li Ang. She cannot be a 'third wife' because it feels like being a concubine.
But if Amy and Wendy, on behalf of Li Ang, gave a betrothal gift that exceeded everyone's imagination and raised Alina's status higher than the two of them, then of course everyone would have nothing to say.
"A higher-level betrothal gift? Amy. The highest-level betrothal gift in the world is probably the marriage between Li Ang and you... use all his territory as a betrothal gift, Lion Territory and Noldo Territory... He even handed over the newly occupied Wolwen and Amera Fortress to Wendy, and still owes you a Cliff Bay--is there anything higher than this specification?"
Alina asked in surprise.
"Of course."
Amy and Wendy looked at each other and took out a few coins. "Li Ang often said that what is more valuable than land is the human heart. And the human heart is on these coins."
Several coins have different face values. The largest face value is a magic silver coin of ten dinars, and the smallest is a Dirham copper coin.
These are the New Currency that Amy is preparing.
The ten dinar denomination 'Silver Deer' has been modified, and now the front and back sides are engraved with the faces of Li Ang and Alina respectively.
The One Dinar silver coin has Amy and Wendy on the front and back, as well as their respective coats of arms.
And one Dirham, which is one tenth of One Dinar, is a copper coin with only one horse engraved... That is Alice, the little mare who has saved Li Ang many times and also made great contributions to solving Red Death.
As for the smaller denomination coin 'Fair', there is no portrait on it because of the need to control costs.
These New Currency do not include 'Golden Griffin' with a face value of one hundred dinars, because the face value is too large and is not a commonly used currency.
This is indeed a way to express status - at least in the eyes of ordinary people, the greater the face value, the higher the status...
But this may not be the case in reality.
What can really be fully recognized by the general public is probably Alice--Dirham, which is the most commonly used currency that everyone, including children, has access to...
The maximum denomination currency that ordinary people can use is generally only One Dinar silver coins.
The magic silver coin of ten dinars and the Golden Griffin of one hundred dinars generally only appear in the hands of big businessmen and lords.
"You actually... ha, this is really a good idea..."
Alina smiled, of course she understood. This did not mean that Amy and Wendy recognized her higher status, but that Amy gave everyone a recognition in this way - Alina and Li Ang are equal kings...
If this currency can be fully implemented throughout the Pande Continent, then Alina will be able to become the dictator of Bax by leveraging Li Ang's prestige.
This is indeed a higher-standard betrothal gift than Amy and Wendy. For Alina and Baxian, its value will indeed exceed the land of the two principalities.
"Then it's settled, you helped us organize the wedding, now, we will help you organize your wedding..."
Amy nodded and smiled, "In addition, send the gold, silver and copper that the three of us can gather to Pande Bank's headquarters. I want to start full-scale construction at the mint near Wheat Fragrance Territory - the three of us will conquer the entire continent with money, and don't let Li Ang go out to fight, lest he get involved in sex outside."
Yes, Amy is still the same Amy, she is still thinking about having sex with women...
"But what if Li Ang disagrees?"
Wendy tilted his head in confusion. "He has never admitted that he has any intimate relationship with Alina..."
"There wasn't one in the first place...it really wasn't."
Alina complained feebly.
"It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not, as long as Alina agrees. He is the king now. Once he becomes the king, he will not be able to control his marriage. This is the fate of every king... Moreover, for such a great beauty, what reason does he have to disagree?"
Amy shrugged and made the final decision.
"I don't agree! This is impossible!"
Li Ang said through gritted teeth.
"Don't agree? I'm afraid that's not up to you... I hope you can stay underground and don't go out..."
The person talking to Li Ang was an elegant female voice.
Originally, Li Ang wanted to wait for Wendy to come back, let Wendy find a way to recall Maltis, and then try to talk to Eunomia to see if the problem could be solved - he originally thought that he could only communicate with Eunomia through the soul space.
But what he didn't expect was that not long after he locked himself in the bank warehouse, Eunomia took the initiative to speak.
To be precise, it is a sculpture that speaks - a statue of Goddess of Order on Charles.
It was a small pendant, made of sterling silver.
It is common these days to use silver to make statues of gods. Charles has been wearing this pendant since he was a child. Even though he no longer believes in Goddess, he still wears this pendant.
Because this is what Count Oden gave him, a relic from his father - Oden is a loyal believer of Goddess of Order.
In fact, this statue was not originally talking to Li Ang, but to Charles...
What she said to Charles was, "You made a big mistake..."
If nothing else, her so-called big mistake was because Charles believed that Goddess was the evil spirit - he thought it was the evil spirit disguised as Li Ang to deceive him.
But as soon as he said this, Charles felt at that time that this was probably the evil spirit planning to deceive him again...
No matter what big mistake it was, Charles felt that it was a big mistake for the evil spirit to find him again. He would never listen to the words of the 'evil spirit' again!
So Charles immediately tore off the statue and gave it to Li Ang.
Then, Li Ang started talking to the statue again.
Li Ang has done this very skillfully, Kavala is like this, Eunomia is like this, Chosen of God is worthy of Eunomia, they really come from the same origin...
The conditions Eunomia put forward to Li Ang were the same as how she treated Kavala - she asked Li Ang to leave Pande Continent.
This is what she said, "Child, I made a mistake about you, and I apologize to you. But this mistake still needs to be made up for... I can't send you back to your original place, but I hope you don't stay in the Pande Continent... Go back to Barkley, you are originally from Barkley."
Of course Li Ang would not agree...
He has been in the Pande Continent for so long and has finally built up such a large industry. Could it be that he doesn't want it anymore?
Moreover, I still have two beautiful wives here!
But depending on what Eunomia means, if Li Ang doesn't do it, she may have to take some coercive measures...
This Eunomia is a bit arrogant...
No wonder she couldn't come to an agreement with Kavala. She probably has been a god for too long and has forgotten what human nature is.
However, Li Ang stayed in White Deer Fortress's warehouse, and Eunomia probably had no choice at all, so she said, 'I hope you stay underground for the rest of your life and never come out.'
"Dear Goddess, can I first understand what you will do if I don't plan to return to the Buckley Continent?"
Li Ang plans to ask Eunomia what he wants to do.
"... I will erase everything about you."
After a long silence, Eunomia responded.
