Under Manda''s coercion, sheltai signed more than half of the documents, including appointing Manda as the lifelong Government Secretary, appointing Longsen as the lifelong general, and removing most of his relatives and old posts.
But there was a key document that he refused to sign.
Manda forced him to sign the contract of two kings, and he refused.
If sheltai agrees to the double king contract, romroad will have two legitimate kings ruling together. Since Manda prepared the contract, everyone can imagine that he is about to wear the crown.
But it backfired. All other conditions could be agreed. Only the double king contract was signed by sheltai.
Manda had no choice but to give him some gifts every three or five times. Yesterday was his brother''s ear and today is his brother''s tooth. Until there were no men left in the sheltai family, Manda decided to start with his son.
The relationship between sheltai''s youngest son and Manda has always been very friendly. Manda also has a little heart, but she just doesn''t have the heart. Manda doesn''t feel guilty about it. Odysseus did it anyway.
After he cut the little prince''s hair, sheltai wavered.
He realized that he could not lose his son, and Manda could not give in.
Sheltai finally signed the double king contract. After receiving the news, the ministers lost the idea of doing things and began to prepare for Manda''s coronation ceremony.
"If an aristocrat tells you that he wants to fight for his ideals and beliefs to the end, you must not believe him," Manda pinched Kunta''s small face. "Changing his face is faster than turning a book. It is the survival law of the aristocrat. Today is the ideal and belief, and tomorrow is chejill and gildan. Of course, a few aristocrats will stick to the end. Unfortunately, you can''t see them, because they are all dead."
Kunta blinked and said, "will you have ideals and beliefs when you become king?"
"Yes, fair trade, that''s my belief."
Kunta said, "will you fight for faith?"
Manda shook her head and said, "unless it is absolutely necessary, we will not resort to force. Many things can be solved without war. After all, business is negotiated."
He understood Hermes''s intention and appreciated his second contract very much.
The poet took out a drawing: "this is the crown I designed for you."
Manda looked at the drawing for a long time. The poet paid attention to it. The crown is the laurel corolla popular in the classical period. In the middle of the crown is the symbol of Hermes''s double snake staff. With the double snake staff as the central axis, it is a slightly Abstract balance, symbolizing the creed of fair trade. The fulcrum of the balance is a gem. There are three gemstones on the left and right sides of the gem, and seven gemstones surround the crown, It symbolizes the seven star mountain.
Manda likes this crown very much, which is very similar to the family emblem of the Claude race family, and also reflects his respect and piety for the gods. However, he told the poet not to rush to build it. Now is not the right time.
The poet couldn''t understand: "the owner of the house, sheltai has signed a contract. It''s not too late. We should ascend the throne as soon as possible. It will take at least a month to build this crown. We don''t have much time."
Manda shook her head and said, "someone has a ready-made crown. Borrow it first."
The poet pondered for a long time and said, "do you want to borrow the crown of ticus?"
Manda shook her head and said, "I want to borrow tikas."
"Do you want... To make him king?"
"He is the king."
"But he..."
Manda said with a smile, "don''t worry, I''ll wear the crown, but not now. Being king now will bring a lot of trouble, and the identity of the king is not so important. Don''t forget that there are two kings and only one administrative minister."
Manda doesn''t care about the evaluation of the world, let alone the evaluation of history. People who are inferior to animals like Odysseus have become eternal heroes in history.
The reason why she can''t ascend the throne now is that Manda doesn''t want to start a war. Even if the war is inevitable, she has to wait until the end of the contract.
Manda told the news to tikas, the king of the small kingdom. He thought he would be very excited, but he looked as usual and didn''t seem to be interested in the throne.
"Do you want me to go back to Wangdu?" from the tone of tikas, he seemed to take all this as his work.
"Yes, your majesty." Manda looked at ticus in surprise.
"I don''t really want to go back to Wangdu. All my family died there. I''m afraid of that place. If you have to ask me to go, you must promise me a condition."
Manda frowned. He really regarded it as a job. He was asking mandaso for a reward.
"What conditions?" asked Manda patiently.
"Zola, come here!"
A shy maid came over and stood next to tikas with her head down.
"I will make him my queen."
Manda looked at the maid and then at tikas, as if she understood what had happened.
Tikas, nineteen, was an age when men knew everything but couldn''t restrain themselves.
In terms of beauty, the girl is really average, but his highness doesn''t seem to have a better choice. There aren''t many maids around him, and the maid is the most intimate one. She takes care of her food, drink and Lhasa hand in hand.
Tikas''s request was not excessive, but Manda did not intend to agree.
First of all, he didn''t know the origin of the maid, and Manda had other arrangements for tikas''s marriage.
The wolf country has always been willing to make peace with romlu country. The old king refused twice. The first reason is that he already has a wife. Unlike the wolf country, most people in romlu country abide by the tradition of monogamy, which also makes the wolf country find nothing wrong.
After the Queen''s death, the Wolf Kingdom made another request for marriage. The old king refused the wolf man and said he had no intention of remarriage, but after the messenger left, the old king immediately married the young queen.
This almost provoked a war. Finally, under the adjustment of Howitt, the werewolf gave up.
During the reign of bucken, the werewolf proposed a marriage, and bucken refused again on the grounds that God punished those who could not get a wife.
During the reign of sheltai, the cangwerewolf proposed a peace marriage, and sheltai refused again on the grounds that his wife was alive.
When Manda was in power, the werewolf proposed marriage, and Manda refused on the grounds of too many wives.
The werewolves who were rejected many times couldn''t bear it. They gave Manda an ultimatum and gave Manda three choices.
Choose one. Sheltai''s son marries a princess.
Option two, Manda marries a princess.
Option three, the two sides go to war.
When it comes to war, Manda is not afraid of them. Manda doesn''t like these bandits wandering on the edge of the desert.
But now the situation is special. Manda can''t accept the war. He doesn''t want sheltai to get the support of the wolf man. The best choice is to let another king marry the wolf princess.
Manda didn''t consider the feelings of tikas. This was the case with political marriage, but he didn''t expect that the little king was very infatuated. He tightly clenched the hand of his maid Zola, looked firm and said to Manda, "if she can''t become the queen, I won''t step into the king''s capital in this life."
Manda sighed, "when you become king, she can stay with you, she can continue to take care of you, and you can even make her a lady."
Ticus shook his head and said, "she must be the queen, or I won''t go to the king''s capital, Lord Claude. I''m just a puppet in your hand. If you feel dissatisfied, you can kill me."
Manda frowned and left tikas''s house in silence.
It''s hard to do now. Why don''t you just marry the wolf Princess yourself?
No, Manda can''t leave the wolf princess with him. He doesn''t like the wolf man, the princess, and the spy.
The princess sent for marriage is likely to be a spy. Even if she can reveal her identity, she has nothing to do with her.
Moreover, the werewolf is willing to marry Manda on the basis that Manda can be king at any time. Now Manda doesn''t want to be king, so she is no longer the right person for marriage.
The matter was put on hold for the time being. The werewolf was rejected so many times and shouted so many times, but he didn''t really fight once.
Let tikas sit on the throne first. If the werewolf doesn''t let go, then find a way to let the maid leave.
If she won''t leave, she''ll have to be killed.
Manda knew it was cruel, but there was no way. Odysseus did it.
