Chapter 367: The Main Wife Helps the Mistress?
"Are you sure you’re not just putting on a brave face?" Teresa asked again.
"No," Karoso shook his head. "Don’t worry, I won’t be polite with you."
"Ha, that’s good to hear." Teresa was also easygoing; seeing that Karoso didn’t need help, she didn’t continue the topic. "You are too exciting over there."
"I never expected that just by participating in a Knight Tournament, I could cause so much trouble…" Karoso said, raising his hands in disbelief.
"I see that wherever you go, trouble follows you. You went to buy weapons and ran into the City of Freedom’s big chaos; you got on a boat and encountered a sea monster, then ended up in the Forbidden Sea; you went to the Knight Tournament, met a resurrected god, and uncovered both a duke and a Red Bishop worshipping an evil deity." Teresa tapped her chin, "The cause of all this is just because you wanted to get some new gear for your guard battalion, right…?"
"That’s true," Karoso thought for a moment. To be accurate, he had gone to the City of Freedom to help the netizens save people; everything else was just along the way.
"So, is there something exciting happening? Do you need my help over there?" Teresa rolled up her sleeves.
Hearing how exciting Karoso’s stories were made it hard for Teresa to sit still.
In fact, she even thought about transferring to Marl Academy to see what interesting things she could encounter with Karoso.
Unfortunately, her position wouldn’t allow her to transfer. If she did, others would think that the Presea Empire was forming an alliance with the Kingdom of Persia.
"I really do need a favor from you," Karoso said.
"Go ahead, what do you need? For big matters, I’ll see if I can help," Teresa waved her hand.
"I’m worried there might be problems on my way back. Could you send a unit to pick me up?"
"Huh?"
Teresa looked confused and then laughed, "You’re joking with me."
"No, I’m serious."
Teresa stopped smiling and looked at Karoso with a puzzled expression.
"Let me tell you, I don’t have much military power. I can only move one battalion. Even if I could move a division, I couldn’t send them to pick you up!" Teresa said speechlessly, "Have you lost your mind after the divine announcement?"
"Not only do I want to send a division to pick me up, but I also want that division to include an elite battalion. This elite battalion should remain hidden and help Princess Aileen of the Pande Empire secure a foothold at Shield Wind Fortress…"
"The princess of the empire…" Teresa was even more confused; she felt it was strange for Karoso to ask her to send troops to help another woman, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on why.
"I’ll say it plainly." Karoso realized he really couldn’t play word games with Teresa.
The reason Teresa could become the future Empress Presea and stand strong wasn’t because of her political skills; she wasn’t interested in politics. Her strength came from her military talent.
She leads the battle; every fight she wins, every attack she conquers.
In times of peace, we need politicians; in chaotic times, we need military leaders like Teresa.
Soon, Karoso spoke about Aileen, how dangerous she is now, that she wants to survive and reach Shield Wind Fortress to solve the problem, and that she must help.
"I understand now; you want me to send someone to help the woman named Aileen," Teresa realized.
[Um… suddenly I feel like Master Karoso is not great at all.]
[Wow, letting Teresa help Aileen, really?]
[Why do I feel like the main wife is being asked to solve the problems of the mistress in danger?]
[Stop joking, 『』 is the main wife, and the others are just sisters.]
[If Neymar doesn’t appear much, you won’t cheer for her, right?]
"Well, this girl is quite brave. At that moment, she could inherit the Sword in the Stone. She must be a friend worth having." Teresa shrugged, "But what I say doesn’t matter!"
"Can we discuss it with His Majesty?" Karoso said.
"Should we bother Father about this?" Teresa blinked.
"If the Emperor gets angry about this, all you have to do is go on an adventure in the dungeon. I’ll be there for you, and once we’re inside, I’ll follow your lead."
"Ha, it’s settled then!" Teresa clapped her hands.
……
Emperor Augustus’s study.
Listening to Teresa, Emperor Augustus fell silent.
Teresa did not mind at all. She stood with her arms crossed, completely lacking the courtesy and respect shown by the Second Prince towards Emperor Augustus.
Teresa and Augustus’s relationship is more like that of a real father and daughter than that of an emperor and a princess.
"Dad, you don’t need to worry about me. Sending a division is not a small matter." Teresa thought Augustus was silent because he found Karoso’s words useless.
"Interesting, interesting!" Emperor Augustus suddenly smiled, "Canglang Province will have an elite regiment?"
"Yes, that’s what he said."
"A division is just a division, and an elite regiment is just an elite regiment!" A glimmer of excitement sparkled in Emperor Augustus’s eyes. "My daughter does not trust the military strength of the Pande Empire. She thinks her friend is in danger, so sending a division to bring him back is settled!"
"Wait, really?" Teresa looked confused.
Emperor Augustus sighed.
No one would think that using a division to bring back the future duke of Canglang Province is a waste.
My foolish daughter, if you do this, how many people will come to rely on you in the future, and how much loyalty will increase among your followers?
Moreover, investing in a future Knight King is worthwhile.
You see, your mind is too simple, and you think of things that are too hard to achieve.
Having a few allies is always better than fighting alone.
"Just try to understand on your own. You should talk to Karoso more; let him explain the reasons to you." Emperor Augustus yawned, "I am tired."
……
After Karoso made all the arrangements, the day quietly passed by.
He had not yet found Russell to buy supplies when an unexpected guest arrived.
"Rio Corleone?" Karoso said in surprise.
This is one of the future partners mentioned by netizens, a key figure in the Corleone family, who arranged the auction event that Karoso attended before.
Now that such a big event has happened, the Corleone family should have been seeking answers everywhere, like asking why Saaya caused a stir at the auction and going out boldly to find those who disturbed the auction to seek revenge. However, the Corleone family is surprisingly quiet.
It makes sense; their floating island brought a god into the open. Ricardo and Benson are dead, but did they really have no one behind them?
Regardless of whether this is a coincidence, it is true that the floating island brought forth the god and the Death Knight research facility.
It is normal for the Corleone family to act low-key suddenly.
"Young Master Karoso, I have come to talk to you about a business deal," Rio said as he sat across from Karoso.
"What kind of business?"
"Princess Aileen wants to purchase supplies for the desert and forest, food, weapons, equipment…" Rio smiled and said, "I believe there will be many needs in the future. I want to know if I can handle this business deal?"
