The final result of the negotiation: the Divine Luo Empire did not cede the Schleswig Duchy, but instead opened the northern border territory for the Norman people who wished to move south.

At first glance, the Divine Luo Empire suffered a slight loss, and the Helensing Empire gained a small benefit. However, the population of Frank in the Schleswig border territory is sparse, and introducing Normans can promote economic development and tax revenue in the short term, making it acceptable for the frontier earl.

Nonetheless, in the long run, the introduction of Normans will inevitably intensify internal division tendencies. Medea can easily conduct intelligence probes, economic control, or exert political influence on the border territory through these Norman residents.

With this achievement, it's equivalent to opening a small crack in the southward door of the Empire... although it's just a tiny crevice, it's enough to shut the mouths of the Norman Nobles domestically.

After completing the basic peace talks, both parties instructed their deputies to sign the agreement, then made multiple copies and took them back home to notify political dignitaries.

Next, it's time for the girls to handle personal matters.

Seeing the killing-intent-fueled, ready-to-go little aunts, young Lilith shouted excitedly:

"Set off, recapture dad! Divide a piece each!"

"Shut up!" Medea hit her again, and Lilith quickly hid behind Eleanor, crying out in grievance, "Aunt Eleanor save me!"

"Medea, violence can't solve the problem." Eleanor blocked Medea, speaking seriously.

Young Lilith hid behind Eleanor's calf, making faces at her mother, angering Medea who rolled up her sleeves, showing her fair arms, and growled:

"Violence can't solve the problem, but it can vent my anger!"

"Venting anger is the most important." Sigrdrifa indifferently remarked beside, "Eleanor, you have no experience dealing with enchanting demon girls; we've suffered her troubles all these years."

"Is that so?" Eleanor watched Medea chase Lilith, who was crying and screaming as she ran around, although she hadn't taken much pain, she cried louder than anyone.

Watching, she couldn't help but smile:

I want kids too.

Then the Knight Girl recalled the month after marriage, every night playing and indulging in mischief with Aske... she suddenly placed her hand on her lower abdomen.

After returning to the Empire, take a visit to the hospital and confirm the check.

.........

"I've checked, I'm not pregnant."

Upon returning to the Lysine Building, Nora's first sentence made Aske jump in surprise.

"Isn't that obvious?" Recovering, Aske retorted, "How can one conceive in just one night? I'm not a stallion!"

"Ha, what about Medea?" Nora sneered.

Aske: ???

"That's because enchanting demons have a special physique..." He answered lacking confidence.

"Wasn't it because you tried harder?" Nora said angrily, "Being teased, wishing you could shoot your brains out."

"Where the hell did you learn all these vulgar lines?" Aske said, rubbing his forehead.

"From TV shows and games." Nora replied confidently, pulling Aske's hand, and both teleported back to Fire Island.

After years of separation, upon returning, Aske was taken aback by the scene before him.

Originally, after Fire Island merged with the second Heaven Mountain, its area and volume expanded several times, and the vegetation became sparse.

However, what appeared before Aske was verdant vegetation covering the hills:

Near the beach was a stretch of bright green grasslands and shrubs, with deer and rabbits leisurely grazing; closer to the mountains were lush forests, with numerous unknown bird flocks traversing and circling.

And the originally barren mountain top, aside from the Stovefire Island Manor, was now covered by a vast sea of flowers, with charming fragrances permeating the air, yet without causing sneezing from pollen, like a fairyland.

"During the time you were away, I planted a bouquet of flowers here every day." Nora gazed at the splendid sea of flowers ahead, tucking loose strands of hair behind her ear, "Unconsciously, there became so many..."

"If I never returned, what would happen when you filled the mountain top?" Aske embraced Nora's waist from behind, gently inhaling her neck's fragrance.

"Then wait for you to return and make you into flower fertilizer." Nora jokingly threatened him, pulling Aske's hand, running to the flower bed beside the manor, "Look, these are my experimental varieties."

"The bluish-purple ones are hybrids of violets and grapes, with petals rich in anthocyanin, displaying gradient color effects upon blooming." Nora explained the curious flowers vividly, "The red ones are Red Beard General; see its opening-closing petals, aren't they shouting? I made them using roses and sensitive plants..."

"Want to choose one? When we marry in a few days, I'll use your chosen flowers to decorate the wedding venue."

"Married?" Aske was slightly surprised.

"Yes." Nora clapped her hands smiling sideways, "Your wedding with Ellie wasn't witnessed by God, so it's invalid. This time, our wedding will have the Pope as a witness~"

Aske: ???

Well, isn't marriage just a ceremony, doesn't matter if the procedure has an extra step or not?

However, with Nora determined to persuade him, he could only fake a smile without speaking. The two snuggled in front of the flower bed, quietly standing for a while.

"For the wedding venue's flowers, let's pick this Red Beard." Aske said.

"Why?" Nora leaned against his shoulder, "Because of the rose genes?"

"No." Aske said, "Because red is festive."

Nora: ?

.........

Divine Luo Empire, Aachen.

Recently, the people of Aachen are very happy because the Church Court and the Princess seem to have reconciled, and the revoked technical support and material supply returned.

Even during the initial days, numerous citizens frenetically shopped and attended mass as if trying to make up for the lost time.

Despite the joyous Aacheners, the Great Palace remained gloomy. The Princess, with a stern face, took Medea and Sigrdrifa everywhere, informing the Saxon Family of the situation.

Upon learning "our family has a traitor," Otto II was furious, scolding Matilda with vehemence. How could you help outsiders kidnap your brother-in-law?

Matilda could only cry and apologize to her sister, admitting she was blinded by greed... Medea and Sigrdrifa watched on throughout, while young Lilith found it terribly entertaining.

Although Eleanor was livid, people were already gone, and blaming her sister at this point was futile. She could only tell her family:

"I plan to team up with Medea and Sigrdrifa to pressure Nora into returning the person."

Thus, Otto II felt some doubts because the Saxon Family just eased relations with the Church Court, proactively tearing face would be rather inappropriate.

Regardless, the daughter was determined. As long as she wasn't foolish enough to force the Empire's south expedition against the Church like he did in the past, mere lip service wasn't serious... after all, the Church Court was at fault, and moreover, Helensing's two demigods were willing to accompany her.
