Chapter 152: Combining Objects

In the same season, the appearance in different places is completely different.

The weather in early February was green and warm in the Principality of Standing, but in Bangta City, although it no longer snowed, it still had a hint of coldness.

However, in the northern border of the Lampari Kingdom, it was snowy and cold, and the winter was cold.

On a day when it was still snowing heavily, Sevigny saw Viscount Leslie in a town north army post somewhere on the border between the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark.

The first time he saw Viscount Leslie, Sevigny almost didn't recognize him.

Whether compared to when he first met him in Anvilmar City, or when he saw him again in Bonta City, Viscount Leslie was almost completely different.

The current Viscount Leslie has a face full of uneven stubble, rough and dark skin, and is almost no different from the rough men in the army that Sevigny saw when he inspected the Zhenbei Army this time. There is also the clean, dashing and handsome appearance of the aristocratic son from before.

"Viscount Leslie, it seems that you have had a hard time here." Sevigny couldn't help but said.

Viscount Leslie smiled slightly.

Compared to before, the only thing that hasn't changed is probably his smile.

Although the appearance has become rough, but when he smiles, he still reveals a unique and calm temperament from a big noble family as before.

"It's not too hard or not, the life I live is just the life of a very ordinary soldier. And I still receive special care after all. Relatively speaking, in fact, my conditions here are far better than many brothers in the army. They are much stronger."

Sevigny fell silent for a moment. After a while, he sighed softly.

"In fact, the father and I are very clear. The soldiers in the army are in very poor conditions. They need to be improved. But you should be very clear about the current financial situation of the kingdom. No matter how anxious the father is, you can't really get the money to change it. in this situation."

"I know this very well, so I'm not complaining for the brothers, but describing a fact to you." Viscount Leslie said sternly: "Her Royal Highness, I have to tell you clearly the situation in the north. It is already very serious. Before the winter, the bastards of the Sark Kingdom started to launch a violent offensive. Until now, they have not stopped completely. The Zhenbei Army has been working hard for so many consecutive days, and in fact, it has been seriously damaged. If it weren't for the fact that the military sent a large amount of armor and weapons last time, I'm afraid it would have been too long."

Having said that, Viscount Leslie paused, and the expression on his face became a little weird.

"My Royal Highness, I have always had a question. Since the military has no money, what conditions did it use to satisfy that greedy guy Xu Yi this time?"

Hearing the name "Xu Yi", Sevigny showed a sincere smile on his face, shook his head gently and said, "President Xu is not a greedy person. He has always told me that what he expects most It is the development of the entire magic industry, which requires a stable and healthy environment. Now the environment in the Kingdom of Lampari is not ideal, so he must give priority to supporting the kingdom to become strong and stable. This time the military department and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cooperated to build an arsenal . . He paid a lot for it and never asked for anything in return."

"No, I know him, and it is absolutely impossible for him not to ask for something in return. It's just that you probably won't be able to provide him with the return he wants, so it's just a temporary account. When he really asks for these returns in the future, I don't think you can afford it."

"I disagree." Sevigny shook his head. "Actually, I have been in contact with him more time and times than you, and I know him better than you. Although he has always emphasized that he is a businessman, the most important thing is always his own interests. But in fact, the interests he values ​​are It was different from all other businessmen. Other businessmen only valued immediate interests, and the most direct thing was to obtain gold coins. But Xu Yi's most important interests were far more long-term and grand than all businessmen, and even more than everyone. Even if he asks for something in return, I think I'll be willing to pay for it for him."

Viscount Leslie looked at Sevigny with a determined look, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "What if the reward he asked for was you?"

Sevigny was stunned, then frowned: "What do you mean, let me marry him? No, it's impossible. Xu Yi and Steele have a very deep relationship, and there is no room for others to intervene. Is he right? such a request may be made.”

"Not necessarily." Viscount Leslie shook his head slowly. "Your Highness, if you can eventually inherit the throne and become the Queen of our Lampari Kingdom, then Xu Yi and you will let him directly have the most powerful backing in the kingdom. In this way, the realization of his Ideals will be of great help. If he is really a businessman, such a deal should definitely be accepted."

"As I said, Xu Yi is not such a superficial businessman." Sevigny looked at Viscount Leslie and said solemnly: "Viscount Leslie, Xu Yi has always told me that you were in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce when it was first established. It is very helpful to him, and you are someone who can understand his thoughts, and he has always regarded you as a friend in his heart. Since he regards you as a friend, I hope you will not make malicious speculations about him here. "

Viscount Leslie smiled slightly: "This is not a malicious speculation, it is just a very rational inference. In addition... Her Royal Highness, you didn't seem to deny the possibility of marrying him just now? Could it be that you actually mean the same thing? ?"

There was a blush on Sevigny's face, and he immediately returned to normal. He looked at Viscount Leslie calmly, and asked, "Are you asking this question seriously?"

Viscount Leslie nodded: "I'm serious. Since Xu Yi regards me as his friend, as a friend, I should help him figure out this very important issue for him."

Sevigny watched Viscount Leslie silently for a while, exhaled lightly, and replied calmly: "Then I will answer you, yes. Although according to the wishes of the father, he hopes that I can be with a certain noble family. The union of children. Strengthening the power of the royal family. Among these candidates. In fact, the first person the father has always considered at the beginning is you. Viscount Leslie."

Viscount Leslie smiled slightly: "This is my honor."

"But I don't agree with my father's idea." Sevigny shook his head. "In the kingdom, including your Stark family, every big family has its own considerations, and it won't really make this family completely biased towards the royal family just because I marry the heir of any great noble. Am I right? ? Viscount Leslie?"

"Very right." Viscount Leslie clapped his hands lightly, expressing his appreciation. "His Royal Highness, I have to say, you see it very clearly. Every great noble has his own family, so the priority will only be the interests of his own family. In fact, even the royal family. In the end, it is nothing but the kingdom. The most powerful aristocratic family. Your Highness, who you are marrying with, is only a symbolic meaning at most, and does not have much practical significance. Because what can truly allow the two families to cooperate is always the common interests of both parties. ."

"So, my marriage doesn't really decide anything. Compared with marrying the heir of a big noble family like you, it means more to me to marry a more ordinary person."

"For example, Xu Yi?" Viscount Leslie asked immediately.

Sevigny couldn't help but closed his eyes and took a breath, then opened his eyes, still maintaining calm, nodded.

"Yes. Although Xu Yi has now obtained the title of baron, no one will actually regard him as a nobleman, and his status can only be regarded as an ordinary person. However, the new flight chamber of commerce he owns is not ordinary at all. .I'm even certain. If the NAFCA can really develop steadily like this, it will eventually change the entire Sainz Continent as he said."

"I'm pretty sure of that too." Viscount Leslie nodded in agreement.

"So if I can combine with him and use the power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for the royal family, it will only help the royal family more than any other family. In comparison, this is actually a better choice."

Viscount Leslie pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Your Highness, your analysis is correct. But I think you have overlooked a very important issue. The combination of you and Xu Yi is very helpful to the royal family, but have you considered it? What about your own mood? Are you... willing to combine with Xu Yi?"

Hearing this question, Sevigny could no longer maintain his apparent calm, and a blush appeared on his cheeks.

After a while, she nodded lightly and said, "I think... I am willing. Xu Yi is funny, calm and generous, I have been with him for a long time, as long as I am by his side, I will I will feel very relaxed, and I will always be infected by his strong self-confidence and full of confidence in the future. I believe that if I can combine with him, I should be much happier in the future than I am now."

Viscount Leslie just asked casually, but he didn't expect Sevigny to give such a positive answer. He couldn't help but stare at Sevigny with a complicated expression.

After the two were silent for a long time, Viscount Leslie sighed and shook his head with a wry smile: "Her Royal Highness, I suddenly began to sympathize with you. In your capacity, it was impossible to find a truly suitable person. You will also be recognized as a husband. Now a Xu Yi has finally emerged. If you really want to, I think it is very likely that you will grab him. But I know that you will never go to marry him. Did Miss Steele steal it?"

Sevigny sighed softly, shook his head, looked at the wind and snow in the distance, thought quietly for a while, then turned his head to look at Viscount Leslie.

"Everyone has something they don't want to change. Xu Yi won't change his feelings for Miss Steele because of me, just like you would rather go against the family's interests and insist on returning the shares to Xu Yi. I Is that right?"

Viscount Leslie smiled bitterly again: "That's right, so I am now exiled by my family to this bitter and cold frontier, watching Fengxue every day and missing the comfortable life in the city."

Sevigny smiled slightly: "This is another kind of life experience, isn't it? When you return to Anvilmar or Bonta City, I think those noble ladies will definitely want to hear you tell them about you. Thrilling life here."

Viscount Leslie shrugged: "I'm not sure if I can keep that handsome face when I leave here."

Sevigny and Viscount Leslie looked at each other and laughed out loud at the same time.

The laughter instantly passed through the endless snowstorm and spread far and wide in all directions. (To be continued..)
