Theresia, Prepare to Fall! / Problems That Can Be Solved... Shouldn't Be Solved on the Battlefield

So if persuasion fails, Theresia's future, while not exactly tragic, will certainly be torturous.

Especially when they see others wreaking havoc on their own country and forcibly binding their race to the path of expansion.

Isn't this also a kind of...

Lamian pondered to herself, "Perhaps I can think about it differently. If I can't change Asao, then I'll try to change His Highness."

If Your Highness is caught in a dilemma, wouldn't that give Ah Cao a chance to change her mind?

But how did I get caught up in this dilemma? Could it be...?

Ultimately, Lamian decided to discuss with Warfarin whether they could add another member to the family.

If it works out, great; if not, there's nothing we can do.

When the little vampire found a place to rest that night, Lamian revealed all her thoughts.

"Good idea, but it's a bit unrealistic. I'm not saying Ah Cao isn't charming enough, the problem is he's a blockhead! Both physically and mentally!"

Warfarin: "What if Theresia falls head over heels in love with him, but Ah Cao doesn't realize it and dumps her after he's done using her?"

At first Lamian thought there was no way anyone in the world could be so clueless, but considering her own pursuit...

Hmm... It seems like it might actually happen.

Although the probability is low, it is by no means zero.

Chapter 183 Prepare to Fall! Theresia!

Lamian's tone was somewhat anxious, "That's why I came to you for a solution. We can't really let the two of them fight in the future."

Both of them are people she cares about; if they really fight, she will suffer on both sides.

If the problem can be resolved before the civil war, that would be ideal for everyone.

"My relationship with Theresia isn't that good, so it's no use telling me that. But I have come up with a solution that's not really a solution, but the price is that this pink-haired one has to pay the price in terms of dignity."

Warfarin's expression was somewhat dangerous, as if she had already come up with her so-called solution.

"What method?"

"It's very simple. Let Theresia sell her innocence to Huang Cao. As the saying goes, familiarity breeds affection, and one day they will know each other inside and out."

"What kind of method is this? How could His Highness possibly do such a thing!"

"But what if you get 10,000 gold coins every now and then?"

Warfarin said nonchalantly.

"Isn't it a bit expensive..."

Lamian suddenly fell silent; in her heart, she knew His Highness would never do such a thing.

But what if the person accompanying you is the so-called "The Speaker" whom you already have a high regard for?

Lamian thought it might actually be possible, after all, Theresia already had that kind of fantasy in her mind.

"Isn't this making His Highness bow down to money?"

Warfarin shook her head, knowing she had given a bad idea. "That's why it's called selling one's dignity. The methods are a bit dirty. Whether you use it or not is up to you. Anyway, I'm just giving you the idea."

If Ah Cao could achieve his goal through more convenient means, Warfarin would naturally wholeheartedly agree.

Besides, Theresia is a good person; at least this Blood Demon has a good impression of her, even though she's a bit naive. Therefore, it doesn't really want her to be locked up in a dark room in the future.

Now, is this really going to turn into a historical anecdote?

Your Highness is really going to sell hooks to Master Huang now.

After much thought, Lamian realized that this was truly the only feasible method at the moment.

The saying "love grows over time" might actually come true.

But how could they persuade His Highness and Ah Cao? The two, who had just come up with a clever idea, fell silent for a while.

It wasn't too difficult for Theresia; after all, the lure of 10,000 gold coins, coupled with her the Speaker, made it possible for her to convince herself.

Lamian didn't feel like she was being cheated on by Theresia's arrival; in fact, it brought her double the joy!

But how can I explain to Ah Cao... how difficult things were for her back then?

Kal'tsit is quite beautiful, but she hasn't succeeded yet, which shows how strong this man's bottom line is.

Lamian and Warfarin shared a tent, though the latter usually slept in a makeshift field hospital because she often had to work through the night performing surgeries.

However, due to the weather, the offensive of the Leithanian army weakened somewhat tonight, and there were no battles for several days. After treating some of the wounded, she naturally had some free time.

So the two of them spent the whole night discussing it.

By morning, the Banshee and the Blood Demon had finally come up with a plan of action that was almost entirely unreliable.

Lamian: "If His Highness is blindfolded, even if he loses something... he'll only groan a few times, and might even gradually enjoy it. Of course, we need to tell A-Cao the truth."

Warfarin: "But we definitely can't let Asao force him to accept Theresia. We need to use benefits to get him to his bottom line first. Anyway, if it really works out, it will save us a lot of trouble in the war, so he shouldn't refuse..."

Lamian has truly gone to great lengths for her best friend and for this country.

Although the methods used are somewhat unscrupulous, if successful, they will definitely reduce a lot of unnecessary melodramatic situations in the future.

"How long does it take for Theresia to get to Asao's place? It can't be 10,000 gold coins all at once. I don't think Asao, no matter how lecherous he is, would make such a losing deal."

Warfarin added.

You should know that Master Huang's fertilizer plant only gives this pink-haired one creature a share of 30,000 gold coins a year. Although he doesn't lack that amount of money now, it's still really expensive.

Lamian nodded, "So I plan to let Your Highness choose for yourself, one hundred gold coins at a time. If you work hard all day, ten thousand gold coins is not a difficult task."

After all, a gold coin represents ten grams of gold, which is no small amount.

After all, without offering something substantial, they couldn't pique Theresia's interest, let alone get her to agree to their plan.

However, the two felt that with A-Cao's strength... Theresia, who was still a fledgling, probably wouldn't be able to get enough.

Lamian sighed, "I feel guilty that I've made Her Highness a gold digger, even though she's so pure."

"It's okay, let's look on the bright side. If we succeed, at least these two might not actually fight in the future, which would save countless lives."

Warfarin comforted her from the side.

War is not a good word, so now it's up to Theresia to see what she can do.

Without further ado, Lamian rehearsed her lines, then awkwardly headed towards Theresia's tent.

Of course, the Banshee also felt that even with such a high price, Princess Theresia might not agree.

Even being greedy for money has to be discerning.

"The post-war reconstruction plan also requires a large sum of money. The national treasury only has a little over 50,000 gold coins left. What should we do? Now that foreign trade channels are also closed... Apart from the Speaker, no one in Victoria respects me."

With the enemy's offensive recently weakened, Theresia has more free time to handle domestic affairs that have become vacant, thus achieving complete centralization of power and taking full control of the finances.

However, her centralized power was very characteristic of Kazdel. The centralized power of the Yan Country emperor meant that he owned all the power and then distributed it to trusted people.

Kazdel's centralization of power means that all the Royal Court leave the problems to Theresia to solve alone.

Help? No way, I'm only in charge of tatak!

For example, because of this war, Leithanian's cannons destroyed a lot of infrastructure that had been painstakingly built, and it would take a considerable amount of money to repair these things.

But what's the way to make quick money...? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Just as Theresia was feeling troubled, her best friend, Lamian, simply lifted the tent flap.

And with a serious expression, he said to her, "Your Highness, would you like to make some quick money easily?"

184

Chapter 184: If it can be resolved in the battlefield, then it shouldn't be resolved on the battlefield.

"What quick money? Could it be that the Speaker wants to make some kind of cooperation with me?"

"To be precise, it's not the Speaker, but his wife, my Banshee friend. She's run into some trouble recently and might need your help."

"If that fellow countryman needs my help, as the Demon King, I will naturally do my duty without hesitation, but what does this have to do with making money?"

"My compatriot said that the Speaker of Victoria's needs and power in that area are simply too great..."

So she was starting to feel overwhelmed and wanted to find someone to help her, but she didn't want to be too casual about it.

Is this what I meant? It seems a bit beyond the scope of this topic...

Upon hearing this, Xiao Te's brain shut down for two seconds. After two seconds, she came to her senses, and her beautiful face instantly turned as red as a boiled crab.

"That's possible, Lamian, you must be joking!"

"But my compatriot offered a very high reward, up to ten thousand gold coins a day."

Lamian said very seriously.

Theresia was speechless, seemingly shocked by the number. "How much?!"

"Can I really earn 10,000 in a day? Am I that expensive?"

Theresia was incredulous. "Isn't there any other candidate? I am, after all, the ruler of a nation. What if it's discovered..."

"But the Speaker's wife specifically asked for your help. Victoria is an aristocratic society, and only someone of your status is worthy of her."

Lamian continued, "I'll add that."

She knew that her plan was half successful, because her prince had not refused outright, but had asked if she was really that expensive.

"I submitted my name for Kazdel long ago, but I was still rejected. So, Your Highness is the only one in the entire country who is qualified."

"This decision was made by my compatriot taking into account your physical condition."

Theresia still looked at her with a "you seem to be joking" expression. Could such an outrageous thing really happen in this world?

Today isn't April Fool's Day!

"It's absolutely true, Your Highness! I know this is embarrassing, and I don't want to use moral blackmail to force you to do something you don't want to do, but don't you also have a good impression of that the Speaker?"

Theresia could hardly refute it, after all, she had just confided in her best friend not long ago.

But I never expected the retribution to come so quickly.

"Let me think about it some more; this is really too strange."

"Please think about this quickly and tell me your decision by tomorrow morning. If you are really embarrassed or have other considerations, I can politely decline my compatriot's offer and let her look for opportunities in other countries."

Are you in a hurry?

Theresia asked cautiously, and the latter nodded with a sullen expression.

"According to my compatriot, her husband has been under a lot of pressure lately because of the unrest on the international stage. He has a lot to deal with every day, which leaves him with very little time to relax. Moreover, the speaker is in the prime of his life, so..."

Lamian left, already prepared for her plan to fail.

After all, as Warfarin said, the plan was utterly rotten, completely using the domestic situation to blackmail Theresia into betraying her own heart.

Strictly or broadly speaking, they are both bad people, but they are not entirely evil.

At least if they succeed, the future Kazdel can be spared the suffering of war and will have the true support of their own men, breaking free from the cycle they have been trapped in.

Time flies, and another day has passed.

Tomorrow is the day to submit the results, but Theresia still hasn't made her decision.

"I do have a slight liking for that speaker, but it can't be that kind of feeling!"

After taking a bath, Theresia looked at her pure and flawless reflection in the mirror. It was undoubtedly a beautiful appearance, but the downside was that it had been utterly useless since birth.

The Demon King, still hesitant, looked at the various development and reconstruction plans piled on the table.

The maximum is 10,000 gold coins per day... According to Lamian this morning, each successful attempt earns 100 gold coins.

That's really tempting, after all, it's 10,000 gold coins! That's equivalent to 100,000 grams of gold.

Yes, Theresia was completely blinded by money and didn't consider whether her body could withstand it.

I am the mighty Demon King! What in the world can't I withstand!
