The deterrent power brought by the emperor alone is enough to make the current Supreme Forest's canopy frantically scream "danger".

"The second phase of the waste disposal device bidding is about to rehearse. Do you think they will take the initiative according to our plan?"

Louis said with a smile.

He was referring to the Windwalker Commerce Association.

The situation of "two peaches killing three warriors", in the end, always needs to target the technology of the Windwalker Commerce Association.

Beatrice smiled and said:

"They will definitely enter the game voluntarily, after all, Father just took action."

Louis looked at Beatrice in surprise.

It can only be said, worthy of being of royal descent.

This line of thinking is more imaginative than he thought.

But indeed there is the potential for execution.

"For the strongest, there is no need for reasons, only the backstage schemer's list, right?"

Beatrice said with a smile:

"Using your words, this is called 'pretending to be the tiger, selling the fox's trick'."

Louis replied seriously:

"No, this is called cleverly exploiting the information gap."

Even in the confrontation between countries, such a fatal information gap can yield enormous benefits.

In the previous world, Duke was caught off guard by the Normandy landings, which was essentially a victory of espionage warfare.

The artistic student's charming female spy "Little White Fox" had obtained too much accurate information in the past and was early on targeted by Yingzi's family, the king of intelligence.

As the bedside person of the art student, Little White Fox's excellent talents in intelligence were indeed amazing.

But unfortunately, in the field of espionage, once you become famous, you're not far from being trapped.

In choosing the landing site for the Allied forces, Little White Fox's intelligence source was played a hand of "Infernal Affairs" by the head of Yingzi's side.

The king of agents deliberately leaked the wrong landing site to Little White Fox.

And the "intelligence source" who didn't yet know his woman was a spy foolishly passed on the wrong information to Little White Fox.

The king of agents preemptively judged Little White Fox's judgment, which eventually led to the misinformation being transmitted back to Duke, causing him to mistakenly assess the landing site.

By the time they realized something was wrong, the building was already collapsing.

In the end, the charming female spy "Little White Fox" was hanged, and the war came to an end.

It can be said that even on the level of major powers, the information gap can still bring enormous benefits to the empire.

Especially when...

It concerns war.

"With the habits of the elves, they might fly into a rage while subconsciously pulling back their ears and choosing to capitulate in disguise."

Beatrice, standing by, wore a mischievous smile.

Elves are a proud race.

The saying "equally looking down on every race" is not without basis.

Even the dwarves of Furnace Castle have poor relations with the elves, which is related to their habits.

Apologizing is absolutely impossible, for this lifetime apologizing is impossible, at most finding a reason to give in a little.

This operation, he had seen many times on elves.

"These matters can be handed over to the guys in the diplomacy and commerce departments to handle. If they can't handle them after being given standard answers, then it's time to clean up harmful trash."

Louis blandly suggested.

Beatrice agreed it made sense.

At this moment, a senior member of the commerce department suddenly sneezed.

Someone rubbed their nose and said: "What's happening, I'm a model of the Nine Swords, why would I be sneezing."

The subordinate next to him flattered:

"Perhaps someone is thinking of you."

"Thinking of me may not necessarily be a good person, contact the Imperial Capital Hospital to check if there's any epidemic recently."

If it's an epidemic capable of infecting a model-class person, then it poses significant harm to the commoners.

The official next to him nodded and left to instruct others to notify the hospital.

"Now, let's continue with the meeting on the external bidding plan for the second phase of the waste disposal device..."

...

The gears of the empire began to slowly turn.

Meanwhile, Louis also began drafting related travel plans.

Northern border, Byron Territory, nicknamed the Northern Flower Capital.

It's said that there are incredibly beautiful flowers blooming there even in winter, catching them now might allow one to see a floral display at the end of the season.

This was initially put on the travel option list.

Northern border, Robert Territory.

This was once the capital of a country extremely skilled in art in the past.

Of course, Robert Territory's former owner has perished, and this land now belongs to the empire.

But history has left deep marks here.

The place is filled with exquisite sculptures and magnificent buildings.

Many wealthy noble newlyweds choose this as their first destination during their honeymoon.

Moreover, with the thriving art scene in the core of the territory, Robert City, and numerous auction houses, Robert City has become the famed "City of Art" of Ense.

Louis knew Beatrice loved painting, so he also added this place to the travel list.

With a reasonable arrangement of time, they both would be able to have time to enjoy themselves.

He pondered for a moment, gently opened a jewelry box.

Looking at the aquamarine gemstone exuding an ethereal aura inside the box, along with the metal chain beside it, he chuckled softly and closed the box.

There are many ways to give gifts, from food to daily consumables, and even items that can be passed down for a long time.

But he always wants to prepare some things for Beatrice.

Some things that can be preserved for a long time.

These things carry memories of him and her, in the hope that during the times he is away and unable to accompany her, she will see this necklace and think of him.

"If given during a memorable trip, will she like it?"

Louis was getting a bit impatient.

On the other side.

In the Imperial Palace.

Beatrice looked at Lumi:

"Has she already started the inheritance?"

Lumi nodded:

"Your Highness, I will be leaving Tino City soon, for no less than half a month, and no more than a month and a half. I will return."

Beatrice looked deeply at Lumi and said:

"Sister Lumi, you've been taking care of my sister for a long time now, it has been really hard on you all these years."

With a wave of her finger, she took out a vial from her dimensional bag:

"May your martial fortune be prosperous."

Lumi looked at the vial in surprise and said:

"This is too precious."

Beatrice shook her head and said:

"Compared to you protecting my sister over the years, nothing is as precious."

Lumi understood Beatrice's character.

Since she said that, there was no reason to refuse.

She could only smile and say:

"It seems this time, I have no choice but to break through to the legendary level."

"If you don't break through, I'll make my sister cry in front of you."

Beatrice showed a mischievous smile.

Lumi was filled with emotion, gently touched Beatrice's head and said:

"These years have also been hard on you."

Beatrice looked up at the window:

"I will find a way to turn all tragedies into what everyone hopes for, otherwise, I wouldn't have been a princess for so many years in vain, would I?"

Lumi sighed:

"It will be very tiring, and it might not succeed."

"How will I know if I don't try? The halls of Tunisia, the guardian stones of Lokeshi, both had the courage to embark on this path. I, Ense, being an offense as my sin, have never lacked the courage to face desperate situations."

At this moment, someone gently knocked on the bedroom door:

"Your Highness, the items have been retrieved."

Beatrice's eyes lit up.

The voice belonged to Qian.

"Qian, come in quickly."

Soon, Qian came in carrying a long wooden box.

"Did you obtain it?"

Her eyes slightly lit up.

Qian chuckled and said:

"The Lokeshi Empire was unexpectedly generous; the Anse of the guardian stones five families directly gave the item to us and sincerely invited us to visit."

The Lokeshi Empire is known for bloodline modification.

The families ruling Lokeshi are called the Thirteen Bloodline Families.

Among these thirteen, five families additionally possess a divine tool known as the guardian stones.

Hence, these five are also called the Upper Five Families.

Of course, the Thirteen Families of the Lokeshi Empire are not families in the usual sense.

More accurately, they are thirteen directions of bloodline development existing in family form.

Anyone who follows one of these thirteen directions of bloodline modification can claim to be a member of the Thirteen Families.

The guardian stones five families have never ceased to produce demigods.

They can be said to be the true "Guardian Stones" of Lokeshi.

Beatrice opened the box, seeing the contents, she laughed and said:

"These guys, even when they send something, they still play tricks, do they want me or Louis to refine the Anse family's prime stone?"

Qian nodded and said:

"The Anse family's prime stone is indeed an unprecedented monster, but the Anse family also said that the 'prime stone' will not use the divine tool, or else there would be no point in refining it."

Beatrice nodded and said:

"If it's like that, then there's no problem... hope he doesn't get in trouble; unlimited magic power is not invincible as imagined."

She started to worry whether her beloved would render the prime stone self-isolating.

Merely speaking of the upper-level limits of the same level, she had never seen anything more exaggerated than Louis.

A Sword Saint not even at the exemplary level... it's too absurd.

"Indeed, he's my darling!"

She closed the box.

Hopefully, he will like the gift inside the box.
