Kingdom of Dansu.
Although it is a small country, it has survived three generations of kings since its establishment and has a history of nearly 150 years... Even in the entire Adak region, there are very few such countries, but it was almost destroyed due to the invasion of the Golden Group some time ago.
Even if they barely survive, they will no longer have the glory of the past!
Although they claimed to be submitting to Jagun's rule, various signs in the past few months have shown that the real situation may be more cruel than imagined.
Although the Sun King and other ministers made various concessions in the Jagon Palace and seemed to be wholeheartedly committed to the peaceful coexistence of the two countries, when it came to actually implementing management, it was indeed a different story.
The money provided to Dansu at the beginning did require a certain amount of interest, but the expenditure of this money was strictly controlled, and it was not paid in one lump sum but given every year... It was given once at the beginning, and the funds for the second year were just allocated not long ago.
What is more serious is that now all of Dansu’s military and education are almost taken over by the rulers sent by Jagun, including all the navy and even all the captains and soldiers.
If the income of the soldiers belonging to Dansu is not as much as that of Jagun!
With this method of differential treatment, many local young soldiers voluntarily joined the Jagun Empire Army and received education there.
Many officials who had followed the king at the time also defected to Jagun's camp...
It now seems that this king is just a hollow shell, and when the current King Dansu dies, the next king may be in a worse situation.
Princess Sylvie and her brothers and sisters all saw the fate of their country before them. Unfortunately, Dansu was too young to change the status quo. Compared with the powerful Jagun Empire, their country was too small and had no right to decide its own destiny.
But I heard that this time Jagun is going out to sea to fight pirates.
The reason is that the pirates may have been behind the tribute robbery incident that happened some time ago, so the Jagong royal family wanted to teach these people who despised power a lesson.
And the leader sent here was none other than the great prince Sean...
"Sister, I think this is our chance to show ourselves. The last time we were at Jagun Palace, the other princes all had a good impression of us. Since the person coming this time is Prince Sean, we should help him as much as possible... Think about why they're sending this prince in person to fight such a big battle. He was the only son of the Desert Queen back then. Perhaps the Sun King wants him to inherit the throne."
Said Heatherlink, the fourth princess of Dansu in the room.
Judging from Prince Sean’s performance today, everyone can see that this prince is not just a title, and he seems to attach great importance to this battle.
"It is not difficult for Jagun to conquer those pirates with his huge navy. I think we should support him more. Maybe when he ascends the throne in the future, he will remember our help. At that time, he can be treated as a vassal state and regain a lot of autonomy." The second prince Vincent said on the other side.
The third princess had unfortunately died in the last turmoil of the Golden Group, and the only three people present were left alive from the Dansu royal family.
"Yes, and with my eldest sister's beauty, maybe we can have a deeper communication." Heatherlink said and suddenly laughed.
Political marriages are inevitable in royal families, especially for small countries, and even large countries may not be able to avoid it.
There is still such a legend circulating in the market...
It is said that the reason why the Desert Queen Ayla Izdihar gave up the throne to her younger brother was because she did not want to consolidate the country's territory through marriage. Due to the relatively low status of women in Adak, even the queen would eventually be coveted by other countries, and it would be much better to pass the throne to her younger brother.
Later, when the story of her falling in love with a baron from another country spread, this after-dinner story became even more recognized by people.
Therefore, no matter which country's royal family is, they are prepared to sacrifice for their own interests!
"Don't talk nonsense, Heatherlink. I have tried to get close to Prince Sean before, but that guy...how to put it."
"What do you mean?" The two younger brothers and sisters looked at him jokingly.
"It's a bit ungrateful." He said this with some anger.
I don’t know how to describe it, but Sylvie just felt that way.
He had a good reputation in Denmark and other countries, but in Prince Sean's eyes, he looked dull, just like a passerby.
"Where are the two witches you saw arriving with him today?"
"Very beautiful. To be honest, if she wasn't Prince Sean's woman, I would have gone back tonight to ask her out." Vincent on the side answered with a smile. Although it is no longer the richest time for the Dansu Royal Court, his natural romantic temperament has not diminished.
"You'd better not do anything stupid, Vincent. Didn't you notice the way they looked at Prince Sean? Those two might have a close relationship with Prince Sean. Don't put yourself in danger."
"Then what do you say we should do? We can only help Prince Sean honestly?"
There are probably not many naval forces belonging to Dansu now, and even if there are, they are only generals from that time.
For the sake of reputation and the promises made, they dare not betray the country, but no one can tell what is happening in secret.
"Or maybe there's another way..."
Just as Sylvie was about to say what she wanted to say, King Dansu walked in.
The three of them greeted each other at the same time and then asked about what happened in the evening.
