"Don't worry, Artoria got up very late. (Please remember our website ww.o"

In a room that was temporarily cleared out, Liliannu and Egil sat opposite each other. Two cups of cocoa, a few plates of snacks, a plate of omelette, a little meat, and a vegetable salad formed a simple breakfast. The two of them were eating and talking. However, Egil discovered that Liliannu always looked at the door unconsciously. While looking, he also subconsciously touched the Persian-style wavy dagger on his waist. It seemed that he was ready to fight with people at any time.

This made Egil a little amused. After thinking for a while, the emperor figured out what was going on. So he said this. In front of another girl, even though Egil was as thick as a city wall, he didn't dare to call Artoria by Hani. So he called her name directly.

"Hmph..." Liliannu's face turned red when he heard Egil say this. He lowered his head and ate hard. He choked when he choked, and then drank cocoa when he choked, and then choked when he drank too fast. The cough was so great.

So it's so cute. Once a girl who usually looks very smart, it makes people feel unbearable. While thinking about this, Egil walked behind Liliannu and patted her back gently. When Liliannu's coughing sound became less, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"Really, I'm not a child." After being treated like this by Egil, Liliannu's face turned redder. He muttered in a low voice, but he had no intention of resisting.

"In my eyes, you are just a child. I will spoil you like that." Egil whispered to Lilianu's ear.

"Stupid, stupid..." Liliannu felt dizzy when he heard Egil say such words. His body suddenly became soft. He leaned against Egil's chest, let Egil lower his head and hugged her neck, and his hands were not honestly kneading her chest. Seeing this scene, the maids serving next to him had already traveled as far as they could. Egilnu was ignorant at the time. He almost forgot his calculations yesterday. He was about to make Liliannu do the math on the spot. He heard three knocks on the door outside. Then Sonia's slightly neutral and hoarse voice came.

"Master, Your Highness is almost awakened. You."

This sentence made Egil sigh. He had not returned all night and had probably made Artoria suspicious. She woke up and couldn't see her, so she couldn't say that she was going to make trouble. This was not the case.

Egil was thinking this way. On the other hand, Liliannu saw Egil's expression and heard the words coming from outside the door, and felt quite uncomfortable. However, His Highness the Princess was His Highness, and he was not as coquettish as an ordinary fool. He just folded his hand slightly and threw Egil's hand away. He cleaned his clothes. His almond eyes turned white with spring. He took out another fan from his waist and opened it. It seemed as if nothing had happened. He said lightly: "Since that's the case, His Highness the Prince of Egil is invited. I won't disturb you." After that, he turned his head to the other side and stopped looking at him.

This made Egil feel very embarrassed. On one side is his new love and the other is his old love. His parents' family are rich and powerful, and they are not easy to mess with. This has not been openly opposed. It makes him feel a headache. If one day the two sides break up...

Forget it. It’s better to think less about this kind of thing. Egil shook his head, but without saying a word, turned around and hugged Liliannu from the front, kissed him hard. Then he turned around and left. While walking, he said, "In the morning, I will be here when I handle government affairs." Before Liliannu could reply, he raised his hand and pushed open the door and walked out.

"Leading the way forward." Egil looked at Sonia with a blank expression. He felt a little inappropriate. Originally, Sonia was not stupid, but she was not as smart as she is today. This really makes people confused...

In this way, Egil arrived at Artoria's dormitory and arranged breakfast for her quietly. When Artoria woke up and saw Egil's face smiling like millions of trumpet flowers. He drank one by one, making Artoria unable to find North. When the two of them finished their breakfast, Artoria had to practice swordsmanship. Egil left on the pretext of handling government affairs. Seeing Artoria was not strange at all, Egil knew that this level had passed. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then he went to work.

Now the Norman Empire has just conquered Central Italy and ruined the Pope as a puppet. There is also France in the west to survive. Burgundy and Britain's rebellion must be quelled. In the New World, the fleet of ocean trade has been full of money and is about to come back. In the Far East, there is even a huge Mongolian giant, and I have to guard against it. Speaking of which, Egil really has a lot of serious matters to deal with. However, it is okay to deal with this and that first. Since this is the case, Egil will take into account both public and private affairs, and will first deal with the matter with the Eastern Roman Empire, which can be regarded as comforting Liliannu, who felt neglected.

However, at that time, Princess Lilianu, who thought that Egil asked her to go, was still about to talk about love. After hearing what Egil said, she was like being poured on ice water. She slapped the table hard at Egil.

"What?! Do you want Naples?, Sicily?! Do you want Rome to ced the entire southern Italy to you?! Are you crazy?!"

The Egil made a slap in his calculations. However, he was not satisfied with guarding a small island of Malta in the Mediterranean. Instead, he was preparing to accept all of Southern Italy to enhance the empire's control in the Mediterranean. At the same time, he could further affect the two countries of Milan and Venice. He could firmly control the Roman Catholic Church. However, there was a slight problem here - although the empire's infiltration of Southern Italy was very successful, and the Eastern Roman Empire completely gave up Iberia and Italy, and there was also a lot of calls to concentrate on managing Asia Minor. But no matter what, it was a large piece of land. No one would be willing to give it to others for no reason.

"Syrian." Egil closed his eyes and said as if he was sleepwalking: "I exchanged Syria for it. At the same time, in the southern border of the empire, on the border with the Balkans, I retreated fifty miles and gave you this section of the country."

"What?!" Liliannu was shocked when he heard Egil say this. The whole Syria, including Damascus, was the old capital of Saladin at that time. The wealth was far beyond the barren land of southern Italy. It was just that Egil cared about the land quite a lot. He invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and even formed tens of thousands of new troops to defend it there. Liliannu thought at first that Egil wanted to use Syria as a base and expand its territory in the Near East. However, he didn't expect Egil to be so straightforward and threw it away.

"What's your idea?" Liliannu frowned and asked.

"What can I do? Look at what you said." Egil laughed in silence, but did not respond to Lilianu's words. Now, in Babylon, the war between Atius and the Mongols has come to an end. The Roman general at least escaped his life and returned. In the end, the guy did not figure out what was fighting against him. Although the general felt that this group of pagan enemies were very different from the Persians. However, the arrogant Roman Empire did not think so.

The victory of the Turkish War in recent times has given the people of this empire a new hope. Perhaps, when Europe had a powerful opponent like the Norman Empire, it was a good idea to turn the direction, go east, and go to the pagans who had been defeated by the Crusaders and suffered heavy losses. And Atius's failure in Babylon was ultimately attributed to supply and geography. Many Greeks thought this way: If we had a passage connecting to Babylon by land or sea, and could provide timely support, then the outcome of this war might be a different matter.

This statement, or excuse, is very consistent with the usual arrogance and inferiority complex of the Eastern Roman Empire. Speaking of which, Liliannu came to find Egil, and her father specifically instructed him that the empire was about to send troops to the Near East to recover Babylon. He hoped that she could win Egil's support. Liliannu understood in his heart that Egil's idea was passed to Constantinople, and her father would definitely agree happily.

"I can't make the decision about this matter. Wait until I write a letter to my father and see how he responds." Liliannu thought for a long time and felt that Egil was not the kind of person who took the initiative to suffer losses. So he said this.

"Of course." Egil nodded. A big stone fell to the ground in his heart. Then he felt a little embarrassed because he had tricked Liliannu hard.

Egil gave up Syria because of the war with Mongolia. Although last year, the Mongolian prince Sun Xulagu came to Krakow and signed a non-aggressive alliance with him. In private, the Mongolian wolves' temperament was unable to control it. Over the past period of time, the Euphrates defense line he arranged in Syria was attacked by the Mongolian army hundreds of times. Although Harry, Khalid, and Zhaohair were all excellent generals. Egil asked himself that the Euphrates defense line could be considered strong. However, after a long period of conflict, the Norman Empire still lost a large number of troops and consumed a lot of supplies.

In addition, the Arabs in Syria also had an unusual disgust towards Egir's occupation forces. Conflicts between the Norman garrison and local residents often occurred. The instability of the local situation also affected the progress of taxation and commerce. The Norman Empire's input-output in Syria was completely disproportionate. This is also one of the reasons why Egir decided to give up Syria. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to read the latest chapter list. Your support is my greatest motivation.
