I'm such an old god, so sorry

The representative who came was a calm border rider. Since he was a warrior rather than a professional diplomat, the other party's words were quite straightforward, which was very ugly.

"Do you mean that I am incompetent?! I am labelled as incompetent without doing anything? It's ridiculous!"

Xia Erxi's suppressed anger exploded, she questioned the messenger, and her immature roar echoed in the hall.The servants around lowered their heads in panic. The elders of the frontier do not need to be the rulers of the Principality, but the little nobles of the Thousand Red Capital all depend on the Duke for their meals. They are most convinced of the authority of the Grand Duke, no matter which position they sit in Who is it.

The messenger calmly accepted Xia Erxi’s anger, and he saluted neither arrogantly nor arrogantly: “It’s not ridiculous at all, Your Highness. For those of us who need to fight with alien beasts all day to protect our home, powerful force is more powerful than anything else. They are all important. Sometimes the inheritance of the veins is what we require... You can’t meet our expectations, so this is the reality. Lord Arnold, they are not convinced of your abilities."

"Fa mai...It is a Fa mai again. How much do you value that kind of thing?"

"A thousand red inheritance worth pursuing with honor and life."

The messenger straightened up and said.

Xia Erxi suddenly leaned back on the chair, her eyes drooping slightly. She knew why the frontier lords didn't like herself, because Xia Erxi was the first female grandfather in the history of the Qianhong Principality.

Of course, the frontier lords will not think that women are unworthy to be rulers because of the patriarchal reason. If they dare to say so, the two popes on Ainfal, an elf queen and a kingdom queen would be willing to communicate with them. Ideas, seeking common ground while reserving differences.

In fact, due to the existence of extraordinary powers, the physical gap between female professionals and males has been erased, and coupled with the idea of ​​equality and fraternity in the religious creed, there is basically no patriarchal ideology in a civilized land.

But the Grand Duke of the Qianhong Principality is different. The Dharma line inherited by the Qianhong family has a big flaw and can only be inherited by men.

In addition to the three major systems, there is a special classification called "Bloodline".

That is the powerful [Bloodline] formed by practitioners of the magic vein after reaching a certain level, usually above the legend, and after acquiring the genes of some legendary creatures, and integrating them into their veins.

This kind of dharma line can be passed on in the immediate family, and the offspring will completely take over the power of [Bloodline] and obtain a high-quality dharma line that can only be used in a family.

Usually this kind of vein has certain side effects, such as the growth of beast ear dragon horns, and the veins inherited by the Qianhong family can only be inherited by men, and I don’t know that Qianhong’s ancestors are all fusions. What are the biological genes.

[Bloodline] The level of excellence is usually comparable to that of the higher-level divine veins. The lowest achievements of those with reasonable aptitude are legendary, and because the power of the bloodline is mostly inherited, the speed of advancement will be very fast.

Of course, there is a price, that is, the realm of bloodline professionals will be difficult to improve, unless it is really a ghost-like character to increase the upper limit of bloodline.

This kind of extremely stable vein passed down by blood is naturally loved by aristocratic families with a long history. On the continent of Ainfal, the legendary rank is definitely a strong one. The reason why Qianhong Principality has been able to maintain today The status is because every generation has the protection of a legendary lord. Even if the old man was defeated two years ago, even the veins had to be stripped off in advance, and the results he achieved were enough to make Qianhong Principality carefree for a few years. Threatened.

In the eyes of the stubborn traditional frontier lord, a little girl who cannot inherit the Qianhong family's lineage is not worthy to be their lord at all. If it weren't for the grand duke who took office too honestly, he didn't even have an illegitimate child, and his son died, old knight. We will never allow women to ascend the throne of Qianhong Grand Duke.

"His Royal Highness, only the strong who can protect the Principality are the objects of our allegiance. You should know this."

The messenger said calmly again, as if telling an extremely normal thing, rather than expressing dissatisfaction to the lord.

Chapter 8 Facial Paralysis is Pretended

Xia Erxi clenched her silver teeth, clenched her fists, her pretty little face was full of unwillingness, but she could not refute the messenger's words.Perhaps this kind of force theory is not completely correct in other places, but for the Qianhong Principality, which has always lived under the threat of alien animals and foreign countries, a monarch who cannot protect the principality and deter neighbors is absolutely unqualified. of.

Xia Erxi knows this. The thousands of red nobles are actually a group of people in the world that are very in line with the spirit of the nobility. Their etiquette and elegant taste are incomparable with the nobles in the prosperous place, but each of the knight lords can take it. Raise a long sword to open up the barren land and fight all kinds of dangers for the leader behind and the territory under his feet.

It is precisely because of this that the upright frontier lord pessimistically believes that the Qianhong Duchy without a legendary lord will usher in the darkest era ever.

However, Xia Erxi was unwilling. Since she was confirmed as the successor of the next Grand Duke, there were always people talking in this regard. Xia Erxi once thought about practicing a vein that was different from the family vein and proving that he did not rely on Qian. The Red Legacy can also become a legendary professional.

However, after all, I just think about it, Shierxi knows what level he is.Her talent is not outstanding, and she does not have the firm perseverance to desire to become stronger. No matter how hard she tries, she will only be a top job in her life.

Without becoming a legend, after all, he would not be able to protect the Principality of Thousand Reds. The high-ranking knights could easily come up with dozens of hundreds of people on the border fortress, and there was no shortage of Xia Erxi.

In fact, Xia Erxi wanted to deny this kind of rank-only values ​​from the bottom of her heart. She wanted to say that with a good education, she could honed excellent diplomatic methods, excellent business acumen, and an enlightened philosophy of governance.

But it's useless. If Xia Erxi is the heir to a prosperous empire, it will not hurt even if he is not a professional. Some of the empire is powerful, but Qianhong Principality cannot.

Its location is too special, and the neighboring countries do not want to see it collapse, nor do they want the Qianhong Principality to grow.It is more in the interests of most people to maintain a half-dead Thousand Red Principality.

Thinking of the political environment of the Principality, the young prince's sapphire eyes could not help being covered with a layer of mist, a very faint layer, but it clearly showed that the prince's heart was haggard and uneasy.

"......I know."

His lips moved, and Xia Erxi realized that he couldn't say much.

The knight as the messenger saluted gently, and the frontier lords were not dissatisfied with Shierxi herself, but opposed her sitting in a position that should not be sitting.

The banquet hall gradually fell silent. The surrounding servants and some local little nobles quietly avoided before they noticed that the atmosphere was not right. At any time, they could not participate in politics.

"Then your Royal Highness, I wish you well-being and wish the Qianhong Principality prosperous and strong."

The messenger nodded and resigned. When he turned and left, a figure flashed in the banquet hall.

After stepping into the gate, Xiude looked inside for a while, then hesitated.

Passing by the oncoming envoy knight, Xiude noticed Xia Erxi in the main seat and asked, "Did I come too early."

"No, very punctual."

Xia Erxi's ugly face finally improved. She seemed to be pleased that someone would listen to her, and added specifically:

"I'm glad you can come over."

"Generally speaking, nothing too unexpected happens. I am more punctual."

Xiude was completely unaware of the changes in the girl's mood, and said coldly, at least in Xiaerxi's eyes, Xiude's attitude towards people and things has always been cold.

The dark and cold clothing and color matching make Xiude’s appearance more capable and handsome, but because he pays too much attention to today’s appearance, Xiude’s stance standards are a bit stiff, and his face has been well taken care of, and he was sloppy when he met last time. Different, Xiude's image at this time is like a meticulous deacon.

The solitary style unconsciously affected the temperament of Xiude, he did deliberately calm his expression, because Xiude knew that he was a person who couldn’t hide his thoughts, and he didn’t have much scheming but hidden the greatest in the world. The secret of this makes Xiude very insecure.

That's why I use a calm shell to protect myself and minimize contact with others.It's just that Xiude didn't know that his protective shell seemed to fit a little too well, and it was also convincing while telling an aura that a stranger should not be close to.

After all, Xiude’s disguise looks like a very reliable type of person. As long as he maintains an expressionless poker face, others will not be able to see that Xiude is a superficial person. This is really a good idea.

"Have you invited a cooperating manufacturer?"

Xiu De asked straightforwardly, as for why the banquet was so deserted, although Xiu De had doubts, it was really nothing compared to the current major events.

"Unexpectedly reliable."

Xiude focused on his work, causing Xia Erxi to smile and say, before accepting the position of Duke. Only half a month later, the girl has fully experienced the difficulty of this position, even if she had been fully prepared before that. Still feel deeply powerless.

After all, she was a little girl. Xia Erxi didn't have rich experience. Almost all the nobles of the principality were opposed to her. It was a great consolation to have a firm ally in this dilemma.

"It is the Federation of Chambers of Commerce. Recently, they have opened up business in the north, and their development in the Itari Empire is hindered. They urgently need partners."

Xia Erxi waved his hand to let this unhappy banquet end, and then walked to Xiude and said softly, "Maybe we can take this opportunity to gain an advantage in the negotiation."

"Ok."

Xiude nodded noncommitantly. It didn't matter what the negotiation result was. Xiude's only hope was to quickly popularize [Fei Yue].

Miss Grand Duke with hands on hips said with satisfaction: "Is your Feiyue sure to be perfect?"

"Only practice is left."
