Chapter 205 Not Princess Alice

Alice was completely taken aback when the Duke of Zastava handed her a saber, as it implied that military power was being transferred to her.

However, from Alice's perspective, whether she takes over or not, it will be a difficult task. After all, if she takes over military power, Alice will have many advantages in the upcoming operations.

After all, it's a legitimate reason to send troops into the Balkans, making it very convenient to either directly dispatch ground forces or train a wingman military force.

However, since the Balkan Empire withdrew from Amelia, the country has lifted its state of war. With Raffarin Lo's military reforms, the entire army has become regularized, various rules and regulations for mobilization have been established, and various departments and teams supporting the army are gradually working together.

Simply put, once the plate is bigger, it can't be moved as quickly as before.

Meanwhile, Amelansi's rapid reaction force was still in its infancy.

If they were to intervene militarily in the Balkans, they would need at least two months of preliminary preparations. Incidentally, they would also need to improve the southeastern railway network in order to create a complete military operations support base in the Provence region.

However, if Alice accepted the offer, it would undoubtedly give the so-called crown prince an excuse. Alice looked at the women around her, pointed to herself, and waved her hand.

Rafis and Raffarin waved their hands, indicating that they had no objection. However, Vera, who was sitting next to Alice, pouted and looked slightly annoyed. Before anyone knew it, her hand was already on Alice's wrist.

Alice glanced discreetly at the small hand resting on her left wrist, its fingers wrapped in gauze with traces of dried blood. On Vera's wrist, however, was an intricate watch.

“Vera........”

Alice doesn't have much patience for children, but this is Vera, her real apprentice. When she found her at the church, she raised her like a little sister. When she was still a boy, she was somewhat intimidating to her, but since she became a girl, this girl has really gone too far.

Not only does it automatically appear in her bed every night, but Alice also wakes up every morning to find herself wrapped in a pair of arms. The little guy also likes to bury his head in her chest, even though it's as barren as Trian International Airport.

If everyone didn't have their own things to do, Vera might be there for Alice all the time. However, recently, as the technology of tablets has been explored to its peak, the social division of labor required by various technologies has become increasingly large and complex, and Vera no longer needs to be there 24 hours a day.

"Well, it's fine if it's my sisters, but I can't let any random men touch Vera's sisters."

Children really do speak without thinking, Raffarin Low thought, but she had to admit that she more or less agreed with Vera's words. After all, although the two were separated by tens of thousands of years, after spending a few months together, Raffarin Low really liked Alice.

After all, she really works hard.

Throughout Raffarin Lo's tens of thousands of years of life, she never found a partner. However, it was only after walking alone for tens of thousands of years that she realized she had been lonely for far too long.

She just needs to be patient a little longer before returning to her hometown.

Alice was not only a fellow countryman but also a fellow traveler on the same ship. She learned from Alice about the travelers who had come to this planet before, and how, no matter who they were, they were eventually assimilated by the civilization of this land.

Only she assimilated this civilization.

Raffarin Law's hand rested on the chainsaw sword, which had been silent for a long time, but her loyalty had not faded.

Alice chuckled when she heard Vera's voice, then leaned forward to look at the sword, but did not reach out to take it.

"So, does your Crown Prince mean for us to take over this mess?"

Alice gets straight to the point: the Balkan crown prince wouldn't be so foolish as to expect her to serve him with a mere marriage proposal. In fact, she could tell that he knew this too, and that he knew she wouldn't accept.

The Balkans and Amerinsia were still enemy countries.

This matter was actually just a pretext to get Amy Lanssey's attention.

Alice suddenly felt a sense of "woman, you've successfully gotten my attention." She stood up, hands behind her back, looking at Grand Duke Zastava, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"We already know about this. What else do you want?"

Alice did not accept the command sword, nor did she need to. Alice did not need their military power, whether it was a proxy war or armed intervention, their military power was not important.

"Your Highness, I would like to invite you to Sarajevo. Your Highness told me that if you do not go to Sarajevo, Your Highness will come to visit you."

Alice was speechless. She could easily imagine how chaotic the situation was over there. She couldn't expel him, otherwise it would look very bad. In this world where eighty percent of the countries were dominated by royalty or nobility, everyone was more or less related by blood. Even the king of the Kingdom of Dehoran, who inherited the original Dehoran Empire, was related to the Balkan Empire and several small royal families under the control of the church.

"Oh, I see."

"Please specify a date so that I can inform His Highness the Crown Prince and ensure that the country will properly welcome your arrival."

Grand Duke Zastava maintained the posture of offering his sword and continued, "There is some chaos in the Empire right now, so please bring more attendants with you, at least 50,000."

"Hey! We heard everything you were planning!"

What they're up to is no longer a conspiracy; it's practically a plea to Alice: "Please, bring some troops to quell the rebellion!"

No, what happened to the Balkan Tigers who fought so fiercely against her Amerlane Army? How did they disappear?

Seemingly sensing Alice's confusion, Grand Duke Zastava continued, "The Imperial Army has suffered heavy losses. Previously, it was supported by the late Emperor, but now that the late Emperor has passed away, the nobles who control the army are already restless..."

"There is one thing I must make clear to you, Your Highness, the current nobles of the empire are all backed by the Church."

"I understand. Also, don't call us Princess anymore. That title and name have been abolished."

Alice knew nothing of the good intentions of the Zastava Grand Duke. The royal family in Amelia was gone, and now he was calling her a princess, which clearly meant calling her a princess of the Balkan Empire.

Alice doesn't want to become someone's wife out of thin air. She'd rather have someone else be her wife—at least a beautiful, soft, and fragrant young girl!

However, the fact that the Southern nobles all supported the Church's news gave them a real advantage over Alice. As the Church's number one adversary, Alice would not sit idly by and watch the Church's influence spread.

"Okay, I'll come again tomorrow."

Alice waved her hand, signaling Grand Duke Zastava to step down.
