The Amber Sword - 1428. Chapter 1428

Brando regained his senses in a daze. He stared at the natural orb in his hand with soft light and glow, and turned his head to find that Delphine’s eyes had fallen on his face.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, Lord Lord.” Delphine shook his head lightly, and then looked away, but the color of loneliness was still clearly visible between her eyebrows.

Brando couldn’t help but sigh when she saw this. Although the prime minister’s daughter’s thoughts were extreme, she was not a victim herself. Moreover, in comparison, although she has planned many things behind her back, there are not many people who really suffer as a result. Compared with the coldness of the Silver Queen that has caused countless people to fall into war and disaster, it is better to say that it is just a wayward. With paranoia.

Seriously speaking, the only person who is really to blame for her is Roman. But what happened to the merchant eldest lady is not an inevitable one. Brando is actually very clear in his mind that the plan of the Twilight Dragon over the past several eras can be changed because of a mere mortal?

In fact, he knew all this in his mind, but when Delphine re- mentioned the matter in a contemptuous tone, he still involuntarily developed a mentality of anger.

“Really no problem?” Brando asked, “Do you want to take a break?”

“No need,” Delphine hesitated for a moment: “Just had a dream.”

“A dream?”

“En…I dreamed of something from my childhood.” She smiled reluctantly, her eyes full of remembrance: “Lord, I lived in Lowinburg until I was five years old, in the suburbs of South Bank. It’s my father’s territory. When I was a kid, I was a kid, and I had a group of friends, most of whom were orphans adopted by the Silver Lily Orphanage-do you know the Silver Lily?”

Brando seemed a little surprised: “Civilian?”

Delphine nodded.

“Surprised? You think I, a daughter of a noble family, would actually hand in hand and mix with the commoners?”

“I didn’t see it,” Brando replied. Of course he knew that the Cruz empire was hierarchical, and the nobles seldom even dealt with civilians, let alone make friends.

The descendants of aristocrats are more strict with family education. They are often taught by a good lady before they reach adulthood, and they will not mix with the children of common people. Not to mention common people, even ordinary little aristocrats rarely enter them. ‘Dharma Eye’.

In fact, just look at the first time he dealt with Faina to know how proud and overbearing the little princess was.

If it were someone else, Brando might still be able to believe a little bit, but he looked at Delphine, and he couldn’t see how the prime minister’s daughter, who never did his every move with strict aristocratic etiquette, would be such a rebellious person.

“Hehe, if my father and grandfather knew about this, they would have to be furious.”

“I’m afraid it’s more than just getting angry.” Brando thought to himself, what kind of family is the Niederwen family in the empire? What is the position of the old prime minister Niederven in the empire? Let him know that his eldest granddaughter, the eldest daughter of the family, and a group of dirty poor boys have been mixed up all day long, even if there is an earthquake in the Niederven family.

He asked, “So, did you dream about what happened at that time?”

Brando never expected that the words he asked casually made Delphine start to shed tears, and he watched two rows of crystal tears roll down from the face of the prime minister’s daughter.

Brando was dumbfounded all of a sudden.

Since he saw the prime minister’s daughter-no matter how much damage and blow she suffered, even when she was almost disfigured by Long Yan that day-she was hysterical, but she had never shown such a scene of emotional out of control.

“Miss De, Delphine…?”

“Lord Lord, do you think a person who has betrayed his beliefs and oaths is really worth redemption?” Delphine suddenly asked.

“…?”

“After my fifth birthday, I have to go to Mechotofin. Before leaving, I met my friends for the last time. I remember it was in a barn. I swear to each of them that one day I will Looking back at them, I will never forget my promises and my companions because of the change in their identities—”

“Like any tomboy, I fisted Rowan, and Demi gave me her favorite straw terrier doll,” Delphine clenched his fist tightly, and Brando saw her The knuckles were so white that the nails were almost pinched into the flesh, and the pinching bleeding came: “However, I have forgotten everything, this shameful, snake-hearted woman, has forgotten all her vows, and her companions…”

“…Wait until she returns to Luo Yin again, when she returns there…”

“Cloak Bay disaster.” Brando sighed slightly, already understanding everything.

That was a riot in the year 358 of the First Era. Thirty-seven years after the end of the second holy war in the year of star gathering, and 18 years after the Great Purge of the East Metz region, the Cape Bay and surrounding areas experienced continuous drought. With the locust plague, however, the empire actually increased the taxation of the region according to the newly promulgated law at that moment. In the spring of the following year, under the agitation of dissatisfied pagans who remained after the Great Purge, large-scale refugee riots broke out in Luoyin, Bangluor, and Karas.

However, the riots soon led to the double suppression of the Empire and the Temple of Flame. According to historical records, blood flowed into rivers in these areas after the suppression, and the countryside became a wilderness and uninhabited. It was not until the year of Zhu that it gradually recovered. angry.

But whose fault is this?

Brando thought.

A child is naturally easy to forget some things, but when one day she remembers her promise again, when she returns to the homeland of her childhood, she finds that everything has long been completely different.

“…Did you dream of the past scenes in your dream?” Brando asked.

Delphine took a breath, and fell silent suddenly.

She wiped away her tears in silence, and finally regained control of her emotions, and replied faintly: “In the year 279 of the First Age, the year of the ears, the empire promulgated a law-the “Herosto” “, the tax reform re-enacted in accordance with the provisions of the law, exempted farmers in the provinces of the empire from religious taxes and 13 other miscellaneous taxes——”

“That is the follow-up to the reform in the Jin Yao’s year,” Brando looked at the girl and replied softly, “Your grandfather presided over the reform. In this reform, the temple of Flames was mainly deprived of the control of the farmer. The exploitation of farmers was eased. Soon after that, the empire entered the so-called twenty-year prosperous period, which was also the beginning of the glorious age—”

The prime minister’s daughter silently raised her head and glanced at him, slightly surprised in her purple eyes.

“In the 331st year of the First Era, my grandfather left the political arena of the empire. Because of the backlash between the temple and the old aristocracy, the “Herostoyo Act” was abolished, but the new French inherited subsequently inherited most of the “covenant law”. ”

“That’s because Her Majesty’s foothold is not stable, and she doesn’t want to see the temple sit up again. As far as I know, the new French paper is actually the product of the competition and compromise between the two sides.” Brando groaned for a moment, slightly confused in his heart. , I don’t understand why Delphine would talk about this suddenly.

“But the good times did not last long. Your Majesty quickly showed a strong side. With the support of the dragon and the Buga, she quickly became full of wings, and the temple was no longer her opponent. At this time, she wanted The aristocratic political forces that are intricately rooted in the empire have started.”

Delphine replied coldly: “She first supported the Palut family, and then promulgated “Tnipani French”. This French, in fact, was to eliminate the influence of my grandfather in the imperial politics and suppress Born of the Niedervan family.”

Hearing this, Brando suddenly understood what she was going to say.

The prime minister’s daughter’s eyes are reddish: “The following year, according to this French, the Empire imposed heavy taxes on Luoyin, Bangalore, and Karas. This tax was nominally to supplement the expenditures of the imperial navy’s newly docked ships, but in fact it was His Majesty suppressed the Niederwen family and gave the Cecil family a sweet move-hoping to support his Majesty’s motion for the Palut family’s relocation.”

“That year, there were continuous droughts and locust plagues in the northern part of Cape Bay. According to the tradition of the empire, taxes in the area should be reduced or exempted. However, the struggle between Your Majesty and the old aristocratic political forces is reaching a fierce stage, so she will never compromise at this time. After April, the taxes in the Luoyin, Bangalore, and Karas regions have indeed increased—”

Having said this quietly, Delphine fell silent.

“In the spring of 359, I received a letter in Lazer. After that, I quietly went to Callas, but I didn’t have time to see Rowan for the last time. Their army ran out of ammunition and food in the hills north of Cloak Bay. , When I arrived, they had been surrounded and wiped out by General Mangrove—”

After another long period of silence, the girl’s voice sounded slightly calmly:

“After that, I took an oath-one day, I will regain the reforms of the shining year, so as to fulfill my grandfather’s long-cherished wish; I will re-implement the “Herostoyo Act” that my grandfather was abolished, but To do that, I understand that I must reproduce the influence of the Niedervan family on the empire in its heyday.”

Brando looked at her, but sighed heavily in his heart.

He never expected that this paranoid lady would have such a lofty ideal in her heart. However, she chose a wrong path. The Niedervan family was able to reach such a position in history purely because with the help of the game between royal power and religious power, he realized the supremacy of the monarchy for the Great Emperor. The long-cherished wish became an indispensable and important part of the three empires of that era. Therefore, his life was extremely human and prominent, and the Niedervan family also became the power of the empire.
