Chapter 393 Many People Are Thinking of Me
Qin Mo's letter arrived a few days before Debbie and the others, so by the time Debbie and the Prome couple arrived in Rome, Qin Mo was already packing her bags to leave the Western Continent.
"Qin Mo...Your Highness, we meet again!"
Debbie felt a little embarrassed. She suddenly didn't know how to face Qin Mo. Her mindset had changed drastically after her trip to the East.
If Qin Mo was previously regarded as the new "Prince Consort" of the Sea Clan, now he has to be treated as an ally and son-in-law.
Qin Mo didn't seem to mind at all. She still made tea for them with great manners before asking, "You two must be very busy, so you must have something to discuss with me. However, if you still want me to become your son-in-law, then I'm sorry to have made you a wasted trip."
Qin Mo first shut down the previous topic with a neither soft nor hard remark, lest she lose her temper and lose her temper. Xiao Xiya hadn't replied to her messages for several months, and she was already a little irritated. She felt that her former little maid had grown up and flown away.
Let her go! Qin Mo is indeed a fan of mature women and queens, but which queen-lover doesn't hope that the queen in public will turn into a gentle little lady when she's by their side and even dare to throw a tantrum? I can't indulge her!
"This is a letter from Lord Allen. There are some things that require your final decision!" Debbie took out Allen's long letter and looked at Qin Mo hopefully.
Qin Mo was puzzled after reading Allen's letter. After all, the letter from home had only arrived a few days ago, so why was there another letter? Could something have happened at home?
After carefully reading Allen's long letter, Qin Mo finally understood Debbie's intentions.
Since the reappearance of the sea creatures, their relationship with the temple has been delicate. The current temporary balance between the two sides does not mean that the temple is willing to maintain the status quo.
Apart from the northern part of the Alps, the entire Western Continent was under the control of the Temple, so it was quite reasonable for the Sea Clan to seek them as allies.
With the development of industrialization in Taiwan, the Western Continent and the Red Sea and Persian Gulf regions will inevitably become the main markets for the dumping of their goods. With the help of the sea creatures in handling some relationships, it can be considered a mutually beneficial arrangement.
"I agree to the alliance!"
After Qin Mo nodded in agreement, Debbie visibly breathed a sigh of relief. The Sea Clan's strength was still a bit weak. Without male offspring, reproduction was difficult, and there were very few believers. It could be said that the Sea Clan was currently relying entirely on Shia's powerful strength to support them.
The situation is quite different for Dayuan, which has already shown its strong potential for diversified development.
The Great Power not only has Allen as a formidable super-level expert, but also countless workshops, fleets, and a huge population. These are the foundations of a powerful force. Wasn't the Temple built upon the powerful secular forces of the entire Western Continent?
"But Allen said I need to marry Shia as my queen, right?"
Qin Mo's next sentence made Debbie's breath catch in her throat again.
"Qin Mo, my daughter has already had a relationship with you, and now that we have formed an alliance, do you intend to make her your concubine?"
Before Debbie could even speak, Promi objected. She disagreed with Debbie. In her view, the alliance was irrelevant, but Shia had to become queen.
"Uncle Promi, you misunderstood. What I meant was whether Shia could marry into a wealthy family? You know, a princess has to manage a lot of things in the royal palace!"
Qin Mo was telling the truth; the current situation of the sea tribes made it impossible for Shia to leave Xizhou for an extended period of time.
"Does Your Highness Qin Mo mean that if Xi Ya cannot marry into a high-ranking official family, she cannot become a princess?"
Qin Mo's face already showed some displeasure. "Aunt Debbie, I am a prince, after all. If my own princess lives at her parents' house all day long, what kind of behavior is that?"
Debbie's face darkened. In both Great Xia and Western Zhou, only the children of the principal wife have the right to inherit titles and territories. In other words, if Shia is not Qin Mo's principal wife, then Qin Mo's vast territory and wealth theoretically have nothing to do with Shia's children.
But if we send Shia to Dayuan to have a child for this kid, what's the difference between that and marrying the entire sea tribe to Dayuan?
"I believe that Shia can fully fulfill her duties as a queen in Hania. Qin Mo, you only need to come to Hania for a few months each year!"
Qin Mo paused for a moment before saying, "Is this your final decision? Can you make this decision on behalf of Shia herself?"
To avoid another breakdown in negotiations like last time, Promi changed the subject again, "Let's not talk about Shia for now, let's talk about the 'artillery' first. As allies, we need the support of the high command!"
Qin Mo frowned and asked, "What do you need artillery for? Who are you planning to deal with?"
It's no wonder Qin Mo is overthinking things. The sea race isn't facing pressure from the orcs right now, so their need for artillery, whether to wage war against the temple or to guard against the high officials, is not a good thing.
"Qin Mo, don't overthink it. During the time the Sea Clan went into seclusion, the Ottomans launched a massive invasion of the Red Sea coast and the Persian Gulf region, which were originally within the Sea Clan's sphere of influence."
Promi understood the situation facing the sea race even better than Debbie. He continued, saying to Qin Mo, "Osman has the Temple's shadow behind him, so the sea race can't take direct action. Therefore, they need to quickly support a force that is completely obedient to them."
Qin Mo understood what Prome meant. The sea tribe had very few believers nowadays. They were fine at sea, but they had almost no ability to conquer on land.
If they could obtain powerful weapons like cannons, and with the allure of the Fountain of Life, it would be easy for the sea creatures to establish another Ottoman state around the Red Sea.
