Time passed day by day, and soon it was Anrietta's wedding day.

"Your Highness..."

As the priestess designated by Anrietta, Louise looked at the princess in a white wedding dress in front of her and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Louise, don't give me that look."

Looking at Louise, Anrietta also smiled.

"Today is the day I am getting married. As my friend, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Yes, Princess, I..."

Louise looked at Anrietta and was about to say something else, but at this moment, suddenly, the tightly closed door was opened, and then the Grand Councilor ran away panting.

"What's the matter, Mr. Mazzarini?"

Seeing the old minister in front of her who usually never showed his emotions, Anrietta stood up immediately with an uneasy expression.

"Albion has declared war on us!"

"What? When did it happen?!"

Hearing this, Anrietta and Louise were both shocked, while Red Ponytail yawned out of boredom.

"Just now... According to the intelligence transmitted back, our fleet was going to welcome the state guest. However, when both sides were saluting each other, one of Albion's warships suddenly exploded. They accused us of doing it. And just now, Albion sent a declaration of war, claiming that we ignored the non-aggression policy and launched an artillery attack on the friendly fleet without any reason. In self-defense, the government of the Republic of Albion declared war on us..."

"how so……!"

Hearing this, Anrietta's knees went weak and she fell into the chair, while Louise was stunned and speechless for a moment.

For a moment, the air was filled with dead silence until Red Ponytail spoke.

"See, I told you, if I want to beat you up, I can just find any excuse."

"Ms. Saber..."

Hearing this, Anrietta and the Minister of Military Affairs could not help but look at Red Ponytail, who was still calm and even in the mood to eat snacks. Indeed, before this, the other party had already reminded them of this possibility, but after that, because the new government of Albion soon proposed a non-aggression treaty, they threw Red Ponytail's warning behind their heads.

Now it seems...

"But, but we signed a treaty. How could they do this?!"

Louise clenched her fists in anger, while Red Ponytail yawned.

"You have to recognize your place, Louise."

"Why?"

"What about you, Toristin? To put it bluntly, it's just a piece of land the size of a fingernail. Whether you are alive or dead, exist or perish, it doesn't matter to others. Albion didn't hold a bottle of laundry detergent and claimed that you were making chemical weapons of mass destruction. Instead, they blew up one of their ships. That's already very conscientious, okay? Treaty? For them, that thing has long been flushed down the toilet like toilet paper."

“SABER…! You…!”

"I've said it before, a weak country has no diplomacy."

The girl with red ponytail stood up. The aura displayed by her petite body at this moment made the three of them swallow their saliva involuntarily.

"Admit the reality. You are weak, very weak. No matter how noble the Toristin royal family is or how long the history of the nobility is, when the army approaches, you cannot defeat it. Thousands of years of history and glory cannot help you resist the sword, and the honor and pride of the nobility cannot help you win. It is meaningless to worry about fairness or not, because in international relations, weakness itself is the original sin."

Having said that, Red Ponytail grinned and smiled slightly.

"The rabbit was eaten by the wolf because it was weak. This is natural and reasonable. Whether the rabbit is good or bad does not help at all, right?"

"...But...this...I..."

Louise was speechless for a moment, and Anrietta clenched her teeth and clenched her fists. The Minister of Military Affairs sighed and closed his eyes.

"Sir Mazzarini, let's go to the conference room immediately!"

Anrietta turned around and walked quickly out of the room, and the Grand Councilor followed her out. Only Louise and Red Ponytail were still standing there.

"SABER... don't you think this is too much?"

"Good medicine tastes bitter. I know you don't like to hear this, but I still have to say it. Do you remember? When you were Zero Louise, everyone could laugh at you, but what about you? What could you do except clench your fists and get angry? You couldn't do anything, just like Tristin now."

The red ponytail sat back in her chair and stared at Louise.

"Weak Louise, weak Tristin, being weak is the original sin."

“But I’m different now!”

Hearing this, Louise raised her head and looked at the red ponytail with a firm look in her eyes.

"I have the magic of nothingness, right? If I use that magic, I can stop Albion's army!"

"That's right."

Red Ponytail snapped her fingers.

"In fact, not only you, but even I can easily deal with those idiots."

"Then let's go find the princess now!"

Hearing this, Louise hurriedly grabbed the red ponytail.

"We tell her the situation, and then have her send us to the battlefield to meet the enemy!"

"Wait, Louise."

However, Red Ponytail did not follow Louise. Instead, she grabbed Louise's hand and looked at her.

"I have an important question for you."

"…What's the problem?"

"Do you want Toristin to become stronger? Or continue to be weak?"

"What does this mean?"

“That’s what it means.”

Red Ponytail spread her hands.

"If you want Tristin to continue as he is, then fine. We will go find the princess now and tell her that these invaders are easy for us to deal with. Let her send us out, and then we will go to the battlefield, eliminate the enemy, stop the invasion, and get it done."

"Is there anything wrong with this?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Just like you, if you still don't know any magic, I can still protect you and do everything for you. You don't need to do anything. Anyway, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will help you solve them. How about it? Isn't it easy?"

"this……"

Hearing this, Louise frowned.

"So what do I do?"

"Drink wine, eat meat, get married and have children. Anyway, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will solve them. What else do you have to worry about?"

"How can this be possible?"

Hearing this, Louise jumped up immediately.

"Then I'm a waste, right?"

"So you understand?"

"ah……"

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Louise was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted.

"you mean……"

"If you don't rely on yourself and only think about relying on external forces, you will be destroyed sooner or later. Do you know? There was a country called the Dragon Kingdom Lugnica in another world. From the beginning of its establishment, this country signed a contract with the dragon. The dragon would protect this country. No matter what kind of crisis it encountered, it would inform the ruler of this country in advance so that they could make countermeasures. What was the result?"

At this point, Red Ponytail chuckled.

"Everything is protected by the dragon anyway, so we just need to cling to the dragon's thigh. Look, now the royal family of that country has died out, and because they are afraid that the dragon will no longer protect this country, those people actually want to choose one of the dragon's priestesses to be the king. How about that? It's very interesting, isn't it?"

“…”

"So now, what's your answer?"

"Of course I hope Tristin is strong!"

Louise stamped her foot indignantly, then walked over and sat down next to the girl with red ponytail.

"Just like you said, Albion wants to fight us and we will be beaten. It's too bullying! But what can we do?"

"Listen to me."

At this point, Red Ponytail grinned and raised a finger.

"I have a great idea."

At the same time, inside the hall, there was already chaos.

Anrietta, wearing a white wedding dress, sat on the throne, looking at the scene in front of her blankly. Albion's fleet had landed on the Tabor Grassland and began to occupy the area. The lord was killed in battle, the earl was killed in battle, and the dragon knights were wiped out. The situation was heading towards the worst direction.

But at this moment in the hall, the ministers were still engaging in meaningless discussions.

"We should ask Germania for reinforcements!"

"This will only make things worse!"

"Let all the dragon knights attack from the air. We must stop the enemy!"

"But this is just a misunderstanding. We should immediately send an envoy to talk to them. If we launch an attack, it will be equivalent to giving Albion an excuse to start a full-scale war!"

Looking at this scene, Anrietta suddenly wanted to laugh.

She thought again of the words of the girl with red twin tails.

Indeed, Toristin is so weak now. Even though they have come to attack him, he is still trying to keep things quiet. But...

"I'm afraid Albion... doesn't care about our thoughts at all."

As she talked to herself, Anrietta smiled self-deprecatingly, then she restrained her expression, stood up, and stared coldly at the ministers in front of her.

"Aren't you ashamed?"

"Your Highness?"

Everyone was shocked to hear Anrietta's accusation, but Anrietta looked at them and continued.

"Our country is being invaded by the enemy, and you are still clamoring for an alliance? What about a special envoy? Before that, we have more important things to do!"

"But, but Your Highness the Princess!"

Hearing this, a minister hurriedly stood up.

"This is a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstand?"

In response to the minister's words, Anrietta laughed out of anger.

"What kind of misunderstanding is this? The battleship was sunk by a salute? Do you believe this excuse?"

"We have already signed a non-aggression pact? This was just an accident!"

Hearing this, Anrietta couldn't bear it any longer and slammed the table.

"Accident? Go tell Albion about that! Our country is being invaded, our people are bleeding! And you have nothing else to say except to blame each other? Do you think you can stop the enemy with your tongue? You are so good at talking, why don't you use your tongue to rule the world!?"

“…”

Faced with the princess's angry scolding, all the nobles shut their mouths at this moment, and Anrietta looked at them coldly.

"You must be very scared. After all, our opponent is Albion. Even if we fight back, we have no chance of winning. So, are you planning to continue to live in disgrace? If so, I have my own ideas!"

After saying this, Anrietta turned and left the hall. When she left the hall and came to the corridor, she saw Red Ponytail and Louise standing there, looking at her.

Looking at the two of them, Anrietta hesitated for a moment, then came to the red ponytail girl.

"Ms. Saber, I would like to ask for your help."

"I know what you want to say."

In response to Anrietta's words, the girl with red ponytail curled up the corners of her mouth, and then she stretched out a finger.

"But I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

"I want you to sign a contract with me."

At this moment, Red Ponytail restrained her expression and stared at Anrietta seriously.

"Master-Servant Contract."
