In the year 329 of the Holy Calendar, the Pope declared it the most peaceful year in a century.
I made an indelible contribution to this.
Because I was caught.

In the ye...
Chapter 551 I can be a good King of the White Kingdom, can you be a good Mrs. Rand?
In just one month, the army that was going to divide up the Wisteria Kingdom was assembled and set out.
The Northern Allied Nations passed judgment on the Wisteria Kingdom.
But obviously, the surviving nobles in the Wisteria Kingdom disagreed with this verdict.
They said that the Wisteria Kingdom has been their land since ancient times and no one can take it away.
Of course, there were also some surrenderists who tried to surrender in order to retain some land.
But the attitude of the Northern Alliance is very consistent, which is to ignore it completely.
Maybe there are indeed righteous nobles in the Wisteria Kingdom who support justice, and there are also righteous nobles who are unwilling to cooperate with the royal family of the Wisteria Kingdom.
But does it matter? Will the Northern Alliance countries care?
There may indeed be innocent nobles who will be killed if the current Wisteria Kingdom is completely destroyed, but who cares? All countries only care about the benefits that are about to be gained.
The same is true for Rand, Ellie, and Berlan.
Instead of worrying about the negligible probability of being wronged, it is better to think about how to use the land and people you get in the future.
morning.
Rand opened his eyes in bed.
They discussed political affairs for a long time last night, and after deciding to discuss them the next day, he went back to his bedroom to sleep as usual.
And this morning, right now, he felt a little warmth.
Ellie's body was wrapped around his neck, and her soft breath hit Rand's chest.
Rand could feel the softness of her arms, her chest, her thighs.
Such an action obviously crossed the line.
This was Ellie's usual sleeping position, not Berlan's.
Bolan's sleeping posture is very peaceful. Even when he falls asleep, he doesn't move around. He is as quiet as a virgin.
But Ellie's sleeping posture is much more casual, and she likes to stick close to Rand.
Rand poked "Bolan"'s face with his finger, and his ice-blue eyes opened with obvious surprise.
"Ellie?" Rand asked.
Ellie nodded: "Is this changed back?"
Ellie loosened her arms around Rand's neck and looked at her hands. This was her body.
So the symptoms of her and her sister's swapped bodies healed naturally after a month? But soon, the ice-blue eyes in front of Rand quickly became blank, and then she panicked and loosened her slender legs that were clamped around Rand's waist.
"What, what happened?"
It seems that he has turned back into Bolan again.
Soon, there was a knock on the door and Ellie walked in.
"Just now, did you briefly change your body?" Ellie looked at the panicked Bolan on the bed.
Berlan and Ellie looked at each other.
The situation was quickly confirmed.
"It seems that our body swapping will not be permanent. I just don't know if we will never swap bodies again as time goes by, or if it will stabilize at a certain frequency." Ellie and Bolan made an analysis.
Rand stroked his chin. Ever since Ellie and Bolan swapped bodies, he had hesitated whether to use [Sharing Desire] to see if they could cure their symptoms. However, he had been too busy with various things recently, and even if Ellie and Bolan swapped bodies, it would not affect their lives too much. So after discussing with the two, Rand decided to observe for a while before treating them.
The originally agreed time was in the near future. Rand and Ellie's bodies could not stay in the White Kingdom forever. If there was no cure, they could only try to use [Sharing Desire] for treatment when they were about to go back. Now it seems that it is not necessary.
According to Rand's medical experience, this kind of situation showing signs of self-healing will probably get better and better in the future. If it doesn't get better, he can try the [Thirst Sharing] treatment. Anyway, he can use [Thirst Sharing] at any time.
"If it heals naturally, some things will be much easier to handle," Rand said. "But we can't discuss more now. Let's finish what we didn't finish yesterday."
Ellie and Bolan both nodded in agreement.
Ellie goes out.
After Rand and Bolan turned their backs to change their clothes, they left the bedroom and went to the study.
"How long do you expect it will take to win?" Rand asked.
Rand was very concerned about when the benefits from the Wisteria Kingdom would be received.
But he has not paid much attention to the war situation recently.
As an advisor on military strategy, Rand gave suggestions, but he did not participate too much in the specific decision-making. Rand had already made enough contributions, and for such a war that was sure to win, there was no need for Rand to take all the credit.
Giving newcomers some opportunities to come forward is what Rand should do.
So Rand only knew the general military plan of this military operation, but the specific details were not too clear. Now Rand was about to return to the territory, so he planned to ask.
After all, the generals who led the military operation against the Wisteria Kingdom were basically young generals from various aristocratic families or even the royal family.
You need to ask now to avoid something really going wrong.
"The strategy that the young generals came up with in the end was to march lightly and with a small group of people directly into the heart of the Wisteria Kingdom, and then divide the enemy's manpower and defeat them one by one." The most difficult orcs and Grand Duke Vladimir had been defeated, so now the young generals other than Rand appeared. "It is estimated that in a year or even less, the entire Wisteria Kingdom can be annexed."
These young generals are certainly here to gild their reputations. After all, a war to annihilate a nation that is sure to win is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
For most generals, a war to annihilate a country is a positive and precious achievement that is worth boasting about. Now that there is little risk and it is a sure win war to annihilate a country, naturally all kinds of people want to come and take advantage of the achievement.
There is no need for Rand to do so. Everyone is aware of the contributions Rand has made. Even if Rand does not participate at all this time, he will still have a share of the credit for destroying the country. On the contrary, if Rand participates, it will seem a little greedy.
Of course, everyone knows that under such circumstances, the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly reduced, so the military strategies discussed by these so-called young generals are probably guided by their families.
In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, the family's knights and personal soldiers will also go into battle. In short, even if those young generals give blind orders, in this case, at most they will suffer partial setbacks, and overall they will win.
There is nothing else.
"Then I will go back to my territory next." Rand said, "Things here are almost done, but there are still many things to do in my territory."
It sounds like there will be no problem with the military operations. Since the nobles and royal families of various countries know that young generals may have problems and have made preparations to back them up, nothing will really go wrong.
There probably aren't many stupid people like the former second prince of the Shimotsuki Kingdom.
The children of the nobility are blessed with the merits and glory of their ancestors. They just need to be honest and do their best to gild themselves. As long as they don't mess around, they will get the credit they deserve.
The noble sons who are willing to be honest and gild themselves are the ones that the people who really work on the front lines want to meet. On the contrary, those who pretend to know everything and want to make decisions are the real trouble.
Then it was really a matter of setting off back to the territory.
Ellie, Berlan and Rand packed their luggage together, just like a mother preparing things for her children on a long journey.
Bolan had to admit that Ellie was an outstanding person, much more outstanding than she had imagined.
In order to support the White Kingdom, Borlan did not have much time to educate Ellie. When she was young, she was fostered in the Snow Wolf Duke's family. When she was a little older, she was handed over to Olenna for education. After that, she worked and studied with Rand.
Burlan was so bound by his own responsibilities that he had little time to educate Ellie.
In other words, if Bolan had not tried his best to maintain the White Kingdom, which was still in turmoil at the time, Ellie would not have had the opportunity to grow and might have gone into exile together.
But now, Ellie has become such an outstanding person. Bolan believes that as long as Ellie trains for a period of time, she can really take over the throne of the White Kingdom and even do better than her.
This really made her happy and even a little envious.
So now the problem has changed.
After Bolan had almost finished explaining the country's political affairs.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Ellie said, "Then it's my sister's business next. As Mrs. Rand, I also have a lot of things to pay attention to."
In short, Ellie is capable of being a good king of the White Kingdom. As long as she doesn't let anyone notice anything, even if she encounters difficult political problems, she can send a magic pigeon to ask Bolan.
But is Bolan capable of being a good wife to Rand?
In the White Kingdom, it would not be difficult to play the role of Rand's wife, as the White Kingdom did not need Mrs. Rand to play much of a role.
But what happens after returning to the Dukedom of the Moon?
Bolan can be a good king and a powerful "king" level fighter, but can he be a good wife?
She has no experience in being a wife and knows nothing about this aspect.
Bolan fell silent.
She was very sure that Mrs. Rand's identity was definitely not a simple one.
Rand went from being a man without noble status and background to the current Duke of the Moon. This was definitely due to Rand's own abilities, but the role played by Ellie was definitely not too inconspicuous.
After all, the identity of a lady is obviously very important in the aristocratic system.
It is not that a harmonious family brings prosperity, but that the lady already has very important powers and obligations in the aristocratic system.
Of course, family harmony is obviously important as well.
Rand's family..., just three or four lovers, she thought she could still handle it, maybe? She really had no experience in this, and she was still not sure.
As for territory governance, I should be able to complete the work after getting familiar with it, right? It doesn't seem to be very simple.
By this time, Ellie had straightened her chest.
"Ahem!" Ellie glanced at the table in the study with her knuckles. "It's my lecture time now, pay attention!"
Bolan had no choice but to let the younger sister teach the older sister, although physically, it was still the older sister who taught the younger sister.
"In the Dukedom of the Moon Phase, as the lady and the mistress of the Nicholas family, my main duties are as follows: 1. To appease and consolidate the military and political forces of the White Country. Of course, the non-White Country military and political forces also need me to stabilize them when Rand is not available. 2. To handle administrative affairs in the administrative building, or to give Rand advice. You should be able to get started quickly. There will be no problem. 3. To maintain the stability of the Nicholas family. This will be more difficult because..."
Seeing Ellie's hesitation, Bolan was a little confused: "Why?"
"You will know when you really meet them. What you usually see is just the surface of them. In fact, the top leaders of our Saint Domain..."
Ellie thought about her words for a while before saying, "Everyone has a very unique personality. Very unique."
Ellie also emphasized the word "very".
Bolan was not surprised that capable and powerful people had personalities. It was a very normal thing.
But she did not ignore Ellie's words. On the contrary, she realized the seriousness of the problem.
It wasn't just that she trusted her sister's judgement.
Also because she knows her sister well.
Her sister, Ellie Carrant, although she didn't want to use such words to describe her sister, but to be honest her sister was already a little weird, anyway, she couldn't be considered a normal person.
And her own sister, who was not a normal person, actually called Rand's other family members very unique, especially emphasizing the word "very".
What exactly is going on then?
The reason why Rand was able to gather such extraordinary people was obviously because of his great abilities.
Now it seems that Rand must have put in a lot of hard work to get some powerful people to serve him.
"Can you be a little more specific?" Bolan asked.
Ellie glanced at Rand, who also looked a little unnatural, and nodded, "Okay."
"The first person you need to pay attention to is the elf named Lysa. When it comes to serious matters, you can trust her completely. She is very reliable. But please do not try to find out what she is doing during non-working hours. If you guess that Rand is with her, do not try to find out."
Bolan didn't quite understand, but he wrote it down silently.
"You know Olena. She's probably the most normal one among us. If you encounter any difficult problems, you can consult her. But she probably won't believe in something as strange as our identity swap, so you don't need to tell her about it if it's not necessary."
Olenna was too familiar with Ellie's character. Without much evidence, Olenna would just think that Ellie was doing something strange.
"The inspector of the Sanctuary is a powerful thief named Elsa. You can trust her with matters related to the battle, but be careful! Don't wave anything worth stealing in front of her. Pay attention! Underwear is also counted."
Sounds like kleptomania, Bolan thought.
"Kalin, um, that's the Crimson King Karin you know. She has an ambiguous relationship with us, but you must not mention this to her face. However, you can provide her with some conveniences in secret, that's all."
Bolan nodded. He didn't expect that Karin could also be conquered. It seems that Rand's charm is indeed not bad.
"You may also have some contact with the two generals of the Holy Land. They seem to have some secrets, but don't delve into them, they are all loyal generals."
Bolan said he remembered everything, and thought it was indeed a bit strange, and hoped he could handle it when the time comes.
Rand listened to it all, and somehow felt like he was hearing some weird rules from his past life. Could it be that the high-ranking officials in his territory were really that strange? It seemed like they were.
