On June 4, 539, the weather was fine.

  

   Merlin Bay.

  

   The rising sun cleared away the hazy mist, rising from the sea and the sky.

  

   The deep sea seemed to crush the morning light pouring down, laying a layer of sparkling light on the vast sea.

  

   An inconspicuous-looking ship is sailing swiftly forward against the surging waves.

  

   Although it's early summer, the sea breeze in the morning is still cold and bitter.

  

   The white-bottomed animal-skin sails erected in the middle of the hull are also whistling under the blow of the sea breeze.

  

   "Miss, uh...Your Majesty, why did you run out again..."

  

   Uriss is not yet familiar with her name after the change, but when she sees that there is no one in the cabin, she rushes out of the cabin.

  

   I saw Léa wearing a light purple velvet robe, standing beautifully on the bow of the ship, while her deep sea-blue eyes were looking at the looming coastline in the distance.

  

   "It's too stuffy inside, I just came out to get some air, and...should it be coming soon?"

  

   "Yes, the coastline not far away should be the Idar Principality in the eastern part of the empire..." Ulis nodded and quickly replied.

  

Yes,

  

   The embassy from the Kingdom of Cecil and the youngest daughter of King Cecil, Princess Cecil, Her Royal Highness Léa Brad, took this ship to the Principality of Idar.

  

   Although the Norman royal family turned a deaf ear to the independence of the nobles in the western part of the empire, one thing was obvious.

  

That is…

  

  Whether it is Ryze, who is the imperial capital of St. Lawrence, or Pitzman, the prince who has become a puppet of the church,

  

   The two are bound to have a lot of hostility towards the new Cecil regime, and bite their teeth with hatred for the Brad family.

  

after all…

  

   The Principality of Idar is still on the bright side, and it is still a vassal of the Norman Empire.

  

   The establishment of the Kingdom of Cecil is equivalent to the unveiling of the last fig leaf on the face of the Norman royal family.

  

   also allowed the original dispute over the imperial royal family's inheritance rights to completely evolve into a game between various forces and a war of division of the empire.

  

   This is undoubtedly a contempt and humiliation for the Norman royal family Alexander family, which made the royal family lose the little decentness left.

  

therefore…

  

   For security reasons, the mission from the Kingdom of Cecil would never dare to visit the Principality of Idar by land.

  

   And since the road is not accessible,

  

   There is no air traffic in this era, so the sea route has naturally become the only option for Cecil's mission.

  

But…

  

  I want to enter the Principality of Idar by sea, but how easy is it to talk about?

  

   Not to mention whether the Kingdom of Cecil has any ships that can go on sea-going voyages, the mere extra roads make people move.

  

   The Kingdom of Cecil and the Principality of Idar,

  

   One of them is on the westernmost part of the mainland, and the other is on the easternmost part of the mainland.

  

   If you want to depart from the Kingdom of Cecil and arrive at the Duchy of Idar by boat, then the only possible route is to pass through the Duchy of Sidon in the southwest corner of the continent and the Kingdom of Basel at the southeast corner of the continent to finally reach the Duchy of Idar.

  

   The sea boats of the Kingdom of Cecil are already a horse slow, plus such a detour...

  

  Although the Cecil mission departed in mid-March, it was already in early June when it arrived in the Duchy of Idar.

  

   "You said...what will the Principality of Idar look like?"

  

   The Idar coast in the distance is still a little fuzzy, but Léa can't help but ask Uriss.

  

   From the Kingdom of Cecil to the Principality of Idar, in the two months or so, the ships carrying the Cecil mission naturally needed to stop at the seaside port for supplies again and again.

  

   And this also made Liya, who had never stepped out of the western part of the empire, witnessed the barrenness and decline of various parts of the mainland for the first time.

  

   Before this,

  

   She only knew that the western part of the empire she was in was one of the richest regions in the entire continent.

  

   But what other places look like, but she can only guess and conjecture based on the words of others.

  

   Of course, she had heard of undressed civilian serfs, and she had also heard of words such as family ruin and wives scattered, but... to her, these were just words in the book.

  

  Although this is also a common situation among commoners in the western part of the empire, but...as a noble, she naturally cannot easily see such a situation.

  

after all…

  

  She is a member of the Brad family!

  

   No matter where you go, which nobleman doesn’t try his best to present the best side of his own territory to Léa’s eyes?

  

but…

  

   After she left the Kingdom of Cecil, there were some things and some things that could be easily seen.

  

   Whether it is the Principality of Sidon or the Kingdom of Basel, the withered civilians, the tortured serfs, these are the people of this era, the most true portrayal!

  

   For the first time, she has seen this era in real life, and for the first time witnessed everything recorded in the book with her own eyes.

  

   And this... also touched Lya's heart deeply.

  

   It is precisely because of this that she will express the doubts in her heart at this moment.

  

   Even if it is a prosperous and prosperous place that is praised by all the nobles, the real living conditions of the common people can't help but feel pity.

  

   In that case,

  

  The Idar Principality in the eastern part of the empire...

  

   How hard and embarrassing the life of the common people should be in this remote and inhospitable country that was unanimously regarded by the nobles?

  

   Thinking of this, Léa couldn't help but feel unbearable.

  

I am afraid…

  

   In this corner of the eastern part of the empire, even eating one of the simplest meals a day is a luxury that ordinary civilians dream of?

  

   As for the hunger and cold in the winter, the livelihood of the people under the heavy tax burden is withered...

  

   So all kinds of things, Liya has not dared to think about it!

  

but…

  

   After all, Uris did not give her own opinion on this issue.

  

Because…

  

   Not far away, the oncoming giant ship interrupted her thoughts without surprise:

  

   "Your Majesty Princess, look there!"

  

   Léa looked in the direction of Jules's finger, and saw a huge battleship galloping towards her ship.

  

   Compared with the huge battleship oncoming,

  

   The largest sea ship in the Kingdom of Cecil, which the Cecil Mission took, was as small as a lone boat that could capsize at any time.

  

   The oncoming giant ship is naturally a three-masted warship belonging to the Idar Navy.

  

   The wide hull smashed through the turbulent waves,

  

   Several towering masts are hung with huge sails.

  

   On the highest mast, the flag of the Principality of Idar is flying high at the top of the mast.

  

   [I originally wanted to issue an easter egg badge, but the Idar g flag, clan emblem and other patterns failed to pass the review, so I put it in the qq group, the link is located on the introduction page (starting point), drawn by the book friend "Listen to the rain under the eaves". 】

   Regardless of which force it is, the naval fleet of the Principality of Idar is not bound to be a huge impact.

  

but…

  

   Leya thinks more.

  

  If the eastern part of the empire is really as barren as the nobles say, how much manpower and material resources would such a huge battleship cost?

  

   After all, in this era, the necessity of the navy's existence has not yet appeared,

  

so…

  

   From Léa’s point of view, although the battleship in front of me looks majestic, but how much more unnecessary expenses will it cost? What a heavy burden the civilians have to bear?

  

   Could it be that the Duke of Idar is another nobleman who is so happy?

  

   In the past sun and moon, Léa has seen too many examples of disregarding people's livelihood and only thinking of pursuing decent nobility.

  

   just...

  

   This thought did not last long in her mind.

  

  Because the three-masted warship that galloped past on the side of the Cecil's mission was just the beginning.

  

  As the coast of the Duchy of Idar approaches,

  

   More and more ships appeared in the sight of Cecil's mission.

  

Then…

  

  Liya felt her three views collapsed.

  

   Although I traveled to the Principality of Idar by sea, I also had a stereotype of the impoverishment in the eastern part of the empire that could not be easily eliminated, but there is no doubt that the Cecil mission attached great importance to this meeting.

  

therefore,

  

  They were riding the newest sea boat in the Kingdom of Cecil.

  

But…

  

   Here, near the coast of the Principality of Idar, even an ocean-going fishing boat flying the Idar flag does not seem to be much smaller than the ship I was on board.

  

So that as the port of the Principality of Idar gets closer and closer, almost all the members of the Cecil Mission walked out of the cabin with a look of astonishment, standing on the deck watching the ships going back and forth in all directions. .

  

   Especially when near the port!

  

   The Alexandria Lighthouse towering over the coastal reef made everyone present even more speechless.

  

here…

  

   is the Principality of Idar?

  

   is the eastern part of the empire known for its remoteness and desolation?

  

All right,

  

   It's not just Léa, almost all the three views of the members of Cecil's mission... all collapsed!

  

The nobles of this era have always paid little attention to the ocean, so even in the Kingdom of Cecil, the coastal ports are extremely simple, and even ordinary fishing boats may not be able to see a few, forming a "barren" Principality of Idar. A sharp contrast.

  

   is wrong,

  

  Even members of Cecil's mission who are proud of their origins do not dare to associate the Principality of Idar with words such as "barren and desolate".

  

   They want faces!

  

   Although it has not yet docked, the prosperity and prosperity of the Merlin Special Zone is already evident.

  

  Those people who are constantly coming from outside on the roads along the seashore, those row upon row of houses and shops...These are sights that cannot be seen in the Kingdom of Cecil!

  

   And looking at the scene presented before his eyes, even Léa's face couldn't help being a little blushing and... embarrassed.

  

   Although she hadn't declared it in her mouth, in her heart just now, after all, she had imagined the barrenness and embarrassment of the Principality of Idar, but what appeared before her eyes was an extremely prosperous and prosperous port!

  

   Such a huge gap made Léa couldn't help but secretly complain about the rumors about the eastern part of the empire, and also doubted the records in the books he had read.

  

  Who said the eastern part of the empire was barren and desolate?

  

  ...

  

   Bruno had long received news of the upcoming arrival of the Cecil mission, and dispatched relevant reception staff to wait outside the port.

  

   And Shabi, the governor of the Merlin District, is the Idar official in charge of the reception.

  

   He already has experience in receiving foreign missions, so he didn't feel the slightest panic.

  

after all…

  

   Cecil Kingdom...

  

   Although the name is one level higher than the Duchy of Idar, Shabi has the pride and pride of being an Idar!

  

  As an official of the Principality of Idar, he can maintain the necessary respect for foreign envoys, but he will never be in awe of them.

  

On the side of Shabi, Arnel took a three-day holiday (routine vacation) at the Public University of Idar, and came to the port of Merlin District to welcome the arrival of Cecil's mission and his sister Léa. .

  

  ...

  

no matter who,

  

   Go through customs first after disembarking.

  

   After the assassination, the Idar Customs Administration was spun off from the Idar Immigration Administration and became a separate administrative agency directly under the orders of the Idar Administration.

  

   The Idar Customs Administration is responsible for border inspection and inspection of immigration personnel, while the Idar Immigration Administration is responsible for handling immigration matters and related affairs of non-Idar citizens.

  

so…

  

   When Léa saw the Idar customs window on the side of the port, she couldn't help feeling quite strange.

  

However,

  

   Just when she was going to go there, the Cecil aristocrat on the side stepped forward and stopped her:

  

   "Your Royal Highness, please let me go and negotiate with them."

  

   It was the head of Cecil's mission, Viscount Daniel Pine, from the western part of the empire.

  

"What's wrong?"

  

   "Your Royal Highness, you don't know anything about this kind of patrolling handyman, all are a group of greedy guys! Only gold coins can let them make way!"

  

   "So, UU reading www.uukanshu.com allows me to go up and negotiate, don't let these low-level guys stain your eyes."

  

   Viscount Daniel Song said indignantly.

  

   Upon hearing this, Léa couldn't help but nodded.

  

   In fact, she had heard about it as early as in the western part of the empire.

  

   Guys like those patrolmen, city defensemen, etc., although they treat the nobles with respect and flattery in every possible way, but...

  

  When facing other people, they often change a completely different face, showing an extremely harsh and greedy side.

  

   "Don't talk nonsense, you guys!"

  

   At this moment, an extremely abrupt voice came from the side.

  

   Viscount Daniel Song turned his head, but saw a thin-faced middle-aged man who was looking at himself very dissatisfied.

  

"It's the first time you have come to the Principality of Idar. What you said happened to other nobles! In our Principality of Idar, whether it is a soldier or an official, it is a good one. !"

  

   "Unless you are carrying contraband or evading taxes, the staff of Idar Customs will never embarrass you!"

  

"You are…"

  

   "Me? I work on this dock! I am an Idar!" the man said proudly.
