82. All Villains
The Kingdom of Prussia, inhabited by elves, is a very special kingdom on the continent.
Although due to geographical, climatic, and population reasons, the Kingdom of Prussia does not have vast territories, no kingdom dares to provoke them lightly. After all, the Kingdom of Prussia is composed entirely of elves, and while they welcome foreign races, obtaining a citizen’s position in the Kingdom of Prussia is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky. Moreover, even if one succeeds, they absolutely cannot have any “children” or similar things with the elves.
The homogenous population gives the Kingdom of Prussia absolute cohesion, and the danger of the kingdom lies not only in the unity of its citizens—elves are inherently geniuses in magical power, and after the new king of Prussia took office, this was pushed to the extreme. She suppressed all stubborn, pedantic, and conservative former elven elders with a thunderous hand, truly transforming Prussia from a “small elven village” into the “Kingdom of Prussia.”
She fully utilized the talents of the elves, improving “magic” to a level that could be described as “magical,” and with an absolutely loyal army and united citizens, after finally establishing a foothold in the “Kingdom of Prussia,” she set her sights on the only enemy of the elves now—the Austro-Hungarian tribe located in the neighboring region of the Kingdom of Prussia.
The spirits of Prussia do not like any nonsense, so to put it simply: the orcs must die!
As for Aidefu—this king of the Prussian Kingdom, under the strict order, has already become the true king of the Prussian Kingdom. And today, despite the recent unrest, Aidefu’s mood is surprisingly good, because… the man in front of her claims to be here for a ‘vacation’ in the Prussian Kingdom.
“Zerola, do you need me to call Mel over?”
At this moment, in her own office, Aidefu greeted this special guest of the Prussian Kingdom— a member of the ‘royalty’ from the Great Yeng Empire, also a once-renowned powerhouse on the continent, Zerola, without even looking up.
“In that case, I brought my wife along. We are just here for a ‘vacation.'”
“Is that so? You came all the way to Prussia without going anywhere else; I thought you must have reconciled with your old flame Mel and come to rekindle your romance.”
Aidefu said, “If you want to be lovey-dovey, just go to Mel. You know her, so you can skip the investigation process. You can stay with her for a while; as for whether it will cause any chaos, that has nothing to do with me.”
After a pause, Aidefu finished handling the documents in front of her, changed to a new stack of paper, and took a moment to glance at the middle-aged man in front of her: “By the way, how long do you plan to stay in the Prussian Kingdom? Tell me, this is a procedural issue.”
But the next moment, the answer from Zerola made Aidefu frown.
“Miss Aidefu, can my wife and I obtain citizenship in the Prussian Kingdom?”
“……”
Aidefu threw down the pen in her hand and raised her head.
Compared to her earlier casualness, this time Aidefu was very serious as she scrutinized this “royal relative of the Great Yeng Empire”: “How did you get here?”
Zerola is from the Great Yeng Empire, coming here to be affectionate with his wife and ‘cheat’ with Mel; Aidefu found it quite normal, but… if he intends to settle down in the Prussian Kingdom with his background, that is definitely a problem!
“I shook off some pursuers and came over.”
“Are you crazy!?”
Although she wasn’t particularly afraid, the Prussian Kingdom currently has a number one enemy, and Aidefu did not want to provoke the Great Yeng Empire at this time.
“I’m not crazy; the Great Yeng Empire no longer holds any attachment for my wife and me. Now we just want to find a quiet place to live a peaceful life.”
Is he annoyed by those boring nobles from the Great Yeng Empire? Aidefu had some understanding of these matters through the intelligence department. It is not impossible for the Prussian Kingdom to firmly protect a person, but the problem is… no one wants to do a losing deal, especially when this man and his wife possess considerable strength.
“Zerola, you should know the requirements for entering the Kingdom of Prussia and becoming a citizen, right? Setting aside the formalities, the most important thing is… what ‘contribution’ can foreign individuals with this intention make to our Prussia?”
Within the Kingdom of Prussia, the current focus of the elves is largely on magical technology. Although she didn’t want to admit it, Aidefu knew: there were few of those who could stand alone against a hundred, those who excelled in pure personal strength, left in the kingdom. This had always been a disadvantage when dealing with those orcs.
And the appearance of this Zerola might just… fill this gap, allowing her to completely eradicate those filthy beings that occupy vast territories. Survival of the fittest has always been the case; those inferior orcs do not deserve to share the same land as the elves.
“Zerola, our Kingdom of Prussia is currently launching an attack on that orc tribe. You should know what to do to earn a medal of honorary citizenship, right?”
There was no response. When Aidefu looked again, she found that even this once-renowned strongman now showed a hint of hesitation on his face.
“Why do you all…”
“What do you mean by ‘all’? Zerola, you don’t still think there’s a place on this continent where you can simply live a normal life, do you?”
Aidefu chuckled lightly, “You ran away from the Great Ying Empire, and heading north to Rosia, where everyone is a soldier, you can’t escape the result of returning to battle. The church to the west is now controlled by the Great Ying Empire; are you looking for death?”
“There is indeed a Rodema Empire in the center of the continent, but do you dare to go to a place full of fairies? Even if you head east, the Meli United Kingdom in the wilderness is also in chaos.”
“In comparison, as long as I can kill all those primitive beings that drink blood and eat flesh, my kingdom will be a truly peaceful place. For that, you only need to exert a little strength. After all, think about what is simple and what is troublesome.”
Saying this, Aidefu frowned and took another look at the middle-aged man in front of her, then shook her head.
“I’ve always heard from Mel that you are quite a decisive man, but now it seems you are somewhat disappointing. I always thought you shouldn’t be so hesitant. Well, our Kingdom of Prussia will guarantee your safety, but…”
“Do you want to obtain this honorary citizenship permanently with your wife? Just think about it. By the way, the time we need to eliminate all those orcs from the Austro-Hungarian tribe is not much.”
