Chapter 63 Indifferent Audience
Northern Frost Principality, Peak City, Governor's Mansion.

The owner here, Elena, a beautiful woman with long platinum hair, is currently sitting on a chair covered with soft winter wolf skin.

She stretched out her charming body, and under the illumination of the large red sun crystal chandelier above her head, the curves of her plump breasts and slender thighs were perfectly revealed.

After relaxing, Elena flipped through the front-line battle report of the Pioneer Knights in her hand.

After learning that the Mole Town on the border of Hanshui County, which he managed, was captured by barbarians.

There was a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Beside her, another mature woman glanced at her.

Marcia, the Viscount of Hanshui County, said in a cold tone:
"You can still laugh. You messed up. The Mole Tribe is not satisfied with conquering and developing territories, and has even invaded the Principality's territory. What should we do now?"

Elena smiled nonchalantly and responded, "Isn't that good? These border territories have always disobeyed orders and are closer to the barbarians than the principality. This is a good opportunity to clean them up."

Marcia frowned.

She said with a hint of accusation in her tone, "I know you want to use the barbarians to attack the kingdom's pioneering forces, but the barbarians are not under your control!"

"You have reduced the border defenses of the principality and allowed those smuggling teams to pass the news to the barbarians. Sooner or later, it will bring disaster to us!"

"Moletown is a case in point!"

Marcia knew clearly why Mole Town and even the frontier territory of Knight Fuller of the Mark family were captured.

That's because of betrayal!

The Golden Lanterns in Mole Town, who were supposed to obey the kingdom's nobles, had already been assimilated by the barbarians.

They secretly pocket most of the profits from smuggling.

After the pioneer knights arrived, in order to avoid being investigated, they chose to pass the information to the Mole Tribe and seek refuge from the barbarians.

The kingdom's nobles thought they could control the smuggling team, but the arrogance of long-term peace blinded their eyes.

The reason why the principality allowed smuggling was because the bulk of the profits went into the pockets of the border guards.

But what Marcia couldn't understand was that Elena had reduced the border guards' defense line not long ago.

As the governor of Hanshui County, her orders directly led to the loss of control of border territories such as Mole Town, which led to the betrayal.

Marcia continued, "Those kingdom nobles are not fools. After they eliminate the traitors, they will find out the reason and know that we deliberately let it go."

"The conflict between the Kingdom and the Principality is bad enough, why do we need to continue to escalate it?"

Faced with Marcia's misunderstanding, Elena simply took out a map of the front-line battle situation and handed it to her.

"The solution to conflicts is not to give in, but to see who has more friends." Elena said with a smile, "Take a good look at it. Do you understand?"

Marcia looked at the battle map in confusion and found something wrong.

Except for the central war zone where the Agate River is located, the pioneering knights in other pioneering directions, such as the Golden Sword Territory and the Central Territory, are mostly in a bad situation.

The nobles from the Great Plains were the opposite.

The development situation is steadily improving, and there are even cities that have been occupied by the barbarians.

"Golden Sword Territory borders the Principality, and the nobles there have close ties with the royal family, making them the main targets of the Principality's crackdown."

Seeing that she understood a little, Elena added, "The nobles of the Great Plains are different. They are far enough away from the Principality and can provide important food. They are the ones we should befriend." Marcia was silent for a moment and asked in confusion, "Can't the nobles of the kingdom see that we are dividing them?"

Elena snorted, "So what if they figured it out? The relationship within the kingdom is already bad. The nobles of the Great Plains can't refuse this benefit. They will welcome us as their friend."

She continued, "Now it's time to deal with the problems in Mole Town, and there happens to be a lovely Duchy Knight who is willing to help."

She placed a letter on the table and said, "Lord of River Mouth Town, you have met him at Broken Dragon Fortress. I have decided to let him be in charge of the cleansing of Mole Town. I need you to lead the border guards to provide assistance."

Marcia was not happy after hearing this: "The Rosedale from the Principality? He is only sixteen years old, right? I don't want to take care of a child."

After understanding the Principality's attitude towards pioneering knights, she naturally understood Elena's thoughts.

Since the second son of the Duke of Jianling is not valued by the family, he will be supported by the duchy.

After he grows up, he can represent the principality to fight against the royal pioneer knights. This is more appropriate than the principality's direct intervention.

Even if something really goes wrong, there is still room for buffer between the principality and the kingdom so that they won't fall out on the spot.

Marcia knew that the captured Mole Town was the second gift to the other party.

And then she had to act as a babysitter to deliver gifts, which made her feel a little unhappy.

He is just a sixteen-year-old child. Even if he is hiding something at home, how much strength can he have?

Marcia even thought the kid was a little stupid.

He thought he had found the power to break away from his family and regain his freedom.

Little did he know that he had stepped into the midst of the crushing conflict between two huge forces, the Kingdom and the Principality.

There are barbarians outside who are eyeing him covetously. If he takes a wrong step, he will be smashed to pieces!
Marcia said coldly: "A hybrid of Rosedale and North Frost Blood, haha, he is not strong enough, and his noble bloodline will only make his death more miserable. You are harming him!"

Hearing this, Elena rolled her eyes at her.

After thinking about it, Elena comforted him, "Don't be so unhappy. He's a very cute child. According to blood relationship, you are still his cousin."

"And do you think I want him to suffer outside? If conditions permit, I really want to keep him at home and pamper him every day."

Seeing the perverted smile on her face, Marcia took a step back and distanced herself from her.

"I really hope you can act like an elder." Marcia said disdainfully, "If you really like him so much, why did you let those traitors go and let them pass the news to the Wolf Chief Tribe?"

Whether it was Mansaru's secret collusion or Sarko Ice City, the man in the wolf hat knew about the alliance in advance and ambushed them halfway.

Marcia knew very well that Elena had seen all of this.

But she just let the onlookers watch and let the child fall into danger.

If it weren't for the fact that the Duke's second son had some abilities and was not as weak and ridiculous as the rumors said, he would have died at the hands of the Wolf Chief long ago.

"I'm not older than you, so there's no point in you being envious." Elena smiled and looked at her beautiful face in the mirror.

Then her light golden eyes looked out the window at the vast white snowfield.

"You are right. The weak do not deserve to live on the snowy plains. My gift is important. He must first prove that he is not a waste."

"It seems pretty good now. Although he is still just a fragile child, he still has some value in being used."
