211 Episode 19 Boning (1/2)

Conversion to Orthodox Messianism.

No child shall inherit the throne of the Lemurian Empire.

That all the rights of governance be given to Hercule.

If you accept these three points, we will marry and form a formal union with the Kingdom of Cerda.

Hercule told Sonia.

Then Sonia said ......

I understand!　I will convert!　I don't even need an inheritance!　I will give you everything I have, not to mention the right to rule!

And Sonia raised her hands in joy.

As a result, legally speaking, the Kingdom of Cerda easily formed a tyrannical union with the Lemurian Empire, and this surprised the world.

However, this was a legal matter.

In the first place, Sonia was able to pull off the coup d'etat by surprise, winning over the leaders of the Kingdom of Chelda in a single day.

The Kingdom of Chellda as a whole has many people with anti-Lemurian sentiments.

As a result, there was a rebellion in the Kingdom of Chellda by the Anti-Patriarchal Union.

However, there was no one who could be the leader of the rebellion, and the rebels could not organize themselves into a ”rebel army.

The forces of the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Chelda quickly subdued the rebels and brought them to their knees.

In about two months, the Kingdom of Chelda regained its peace.

Heraclea, the capital of the Kingdom of Chelda.

The city, which was renamed Heraclea after the Lemurian Emperor, was currently importing large amounts of grain from the Lemurian mainland.

This should solve the food problem in the Kingdom of Cerda.

Hercule said as he looked out over the harbor from the balcony of the royal palace.

Several ships were anchored in the harbor and sacks full of wheat were being unloaded from them.

From now on, this grain will be transported all over the country by the land transportation network of the Kingdom of Chelda.

This will greatly improve the severe food shortage that has been occurring in the Kingdom of Chelda.

Thank you for saving our people, Your Majesty. Your Majesty.

Sonia said and bowed her head.

She was wearing her military uniform as before.

She didn't mind dressing up, and she wanted to look beautiful in front of Hercule, but ......

It seems that he is most comfortable in his military uniform.

However, he was also greatly influenced by Hercule's casual remark during the suppression of the rebellion, ”Your military uniform looks good on you.

”They're my people now, too. I did what I had to do.

”Very good, Your Majesty!

Sonia said and jumped into Hercule's chest.

Then she rubbed her cheek like a dog.

When Hercule stroked her head, she whipped her tail around to show her delight.

I'm not sure what's going on here. (...... What the hell is going on here?)

I'm not sure what to make of this.

If you think about ...... why you feel so strange about Sonia, you will realize that it is because she is fully affirming of Hercule himself.

If you think about it, even Nia sometimes says something ironic to Hercule.

Sonia has none of that.

But that's a small thing, Hercule reminded himself.

Then he turned his thoughts back to ruling the kingdom of Cerda.

(...... saving the people or not, considering the fertility of the land, this level of expenditure would be enough to pay for itself later...)

Of course, Hercule doesn't care much about the people of the Kingdom of Cerda.

This man, who doesn't even have proper affection for the people of the Lemurian Empire, can't possibly show compassion for the people of a country where he just became king a few months ago.

The reason why he was giving charity was to suppress rebellion, to gain popularity in the Kingdom of Chelda, and to increase tax revenue by quickly recovering from the war.

(Besides, there was a shortage of grain, so it was just right.)

In contrast to the shortage of grain in the Kingdom of Chelda, the Lemurian Empire was experiencing an excess supply.

It's not surprising, really.

The new breadbasket of Teriportania had been incorporated into the Lemurian Empire.

The grain that had originally filled the bellies of the people of the Kingdom of Chellda was now flowing into the Lemurian Empire.

The oversupply of grain caused the price of grain to drop, which put pressure on the livelihood of the farmers of the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Khayastan.

In particular, the Kingdom of Khayastan, whose economy depended on grain exports to the Lemurian Empire, was facing a serious problem, and Lunalie demanded an early solution.
