Ah, who would have thought that the dreaded Black Disaster could actually serve as Transylvania’s amulet in such hard tis?”
“Tsk, you young ones.
If you had read more of the Posya Confederation’s Chronicles, you wouldn’t just be realizing this now,”
Lady Cui Si’s voice sounded from the doorway.
The Blood Vulture Duke, who had just indulged in a bout of fishing, downed a bottle of top-grade Icefire Wine, and was sauntering out for a post-al stroll, quite indecorously propped himself against the doorway of Murphy’s office.
She twirled a playful lock of hair, and said:
“From the mont the Posya Confederation’s first city was established, capitalizing on the threats of the Black Disaster and the Wolf People to gain benefits from the Nord, West Lan, and Kite People has been the lifeline of this nation!
In Murphy’s previous report to Lupa, he said sothing spot on, ‘war itself is the most profitable business.’ And throughout the past few centuries, the human nobility of the Posya Confederation have taken this to heart.
Every Black Disaster results in devastating losses for the Posya Confederation, but after each one, the nation’s power undergoes an explosive growth!
It’s often said that we should rely on the resources where we are situated.
If we want to live comfortably in this hellhole of Transylvania, we need to learn how to utilize the threat posed by those ferocious Wolf People.
They’re certainly formidable enemies, but that doesn’t prevent the Posya Confederation from making them a source of wealth.
This unique geographical location is our biggest trump card when asking for foreign aid.”
The Blood Vulture Duke made a faintly disdainful but mostly pleased smile, stroked Milian’s head affectionately, and softly said:
“Murphy’s confidence in you is not misplaced.
You’ve independently figured out the survival rules of the managers of this land.
However, that’s just the beginning, Milian.
As the Crimson Regent, you still have a lot to learn and discover in this aspect.”
Milian had an excellent impression of Lady Cui Si.
She always thought that if all vampires were like Lady Cui Si, there might be a chance for humans and vampires to coexist peacefully.
But it wasn’t until today that she realized the cunning and learned soul hidden beneath Lady Cui Si’s persona of a wastrel queen.
She realized that this elder who has lived in Transylvania for 400 years was an actual witness of the establishnt, rise, and fall of the Posya Confederation.
Her life experiences themselves are a rare treasure for any ruler.
Milian appeared to grasp why her young master, Sir Morphy, seems so crafty and cunning despite his age.
Might it be because of Lady Cui Si’s good ntoring?
“Could I invite you to be my political advisor, Lady Cui Si?”
Milian said, standing up seriously.
“Both the land and I are in need of your wisdom, my Lady.”
“Ha?
You want to give another job?
Are you trying to work to death?”
Lady Cui Si said, rolling her eyes.
“Out of the question!
Dealing with one small family affair is stressful enough.
Besides, it’s not a difficult task.
All you need to learn is how to step to the left and right.
When the Northerners throw a fit, bring in the influence of West Lan.
When West Lan starts to turn things topsy-turvy, cozy up to the Nords.
It’s unfortunate that the Kingdom of Yisha has already been swallowed by West Lan, otherwise that cunning island nation, which has always been playing the ‘continental balance’ ga while being stranded overseas, would have been your most loyal ally.
Your predecessors were dancing on three eggs, but when it ca to your turn, you’ve only got two eggs.
This should test your political wisdom and sharp nose.
You truly do need help and advisors, but not .”
The Blood Vulture Duke glanced at the little Murphy, who kept a handso smile on his face as he looked at her with affection.
She turned to Milian and said:
“As little Murphy has said, vampires won’t be the rulers of this land in the future.
We are rely one of the creatures that this land nurtures.
So go find your own kind.
Gain wisdom, experiences, and lessons from them.
Can you both leave us alone for now?
I need to discuss so matters with Murphy.”
Milian’s curiosity was imdiately piqued.
She shared a look with Maxim and left the office obediently.
As they walked away, Lady Cui Si, stretching her shoulders and swaying her long neck, said to Murphy:
“Phemys is coming back.
She just sent a ssage, and she even brought back orders from Lord Pa Ying…”
“I really don’t care about another woman…”
“Be serious!
Those two youngsters are eavesdropping outside the door…
Uh, now, they’ve run off.”
