Chapter 145
Chapter 144
Now that Gena Cosmo said to think about it, Xia Zoe gave him all the chocolates he had made before.
Chocolate is made entirely from cocoa.
The final product is a bit bitter at first, but it will become sweeter afterwards.
If it were not that the amount of cocoa was not too much, Xia Zoe would like to make more flavors.
Gena Cosmo likes chocolate with a bit bitter taste, but he doesn’t dislike chocolate with a bit sweeter taste.
The next day, he came to Xia Zoe and said he agreed to this cooperation.
“After the cocoa planting has grown, I want to make all the first batch of chocolates, and the subsequent supply must also be given priority by the Powell country.”
For such a request, Xia Zuoy certainly agreed.
He took out a paper contract and said: “After all, verbal promises cannot guarantee anything. It is better to sign an agreement…”
“But I also have to declare in advance.”
“Cacao is a new type of plant that Samuel brought back from the New World. We have never had it before. Naturally, there is no experience in planting…”
“So, if cocoa cultivation fails, what about our paper agreement even if it becomes invalid?”
“can.”
“Okay, then please sign and press your fingerprints.”
After finishing this cooperation, Gena Kozmo lightly twisted the red mark on his thumb and said: “Recently, something happened in the Saint Airo Empire…”
“I wonder if the lord has heard of it?”
Xia Zoe asked Udit to accept the contract, then turned around and said, “What does your majesty mean?”
“A matter of the royal family of the Saint Airo Empire.”
Gena Kozmo said: “The lord should have also heard that the third prince, Khaxu, tried to seek the throne. In the end, his conspiracy was exposed by the prince.”
“The king rebuked the three princes and imprisoned them on the tower of Tum, forbidding anyone to visit.”
Xia Zoe nodded, he did hear the news.
Moreover, not long after the third prince Khaxu was imprisoned, the king became seriously ill.
Immediately afterwards, the St. Airo Empire began to be governed by the prince and deal with various affairs in the imperial city.
“What does your Majesty want to say?”
Gena Cosmo: “I wonder if the lord is not interested in the territorial sense of the Saint Airo Empire?”
He didn’t make a roundabout, but asked directly.
Xia Zoe is not surprised by the ambition of the male partner in the original book.
After all, before meeting the heroine, the ambition of the male partner in the original book has always been to make Pauville the only country on the Western Continent.
Now, although the plot in the original book has deviated a lot, Gena Cosmo’s ambition does not seem to have changed.
Xia Zuoyi said: “Even if I am interested, I will not start a war at this time.”
One is that the timing is wrong.
Second, at this stage, he really has a lot of things to be done first-such as crop harvesting, oil extraction, etc.
“I understand what your Majesty means.”
Gena Cosmo made a gesture of listening.
Xia Zuoy said: “The Black Death has just passed, and almost all places have been affected, especially the Saint Airo Empire…”
“I think that the national power of the Saint Airo Empire is not as good as before, and Pauville is located in the far north, the location is remote, and the border is blocked in time…”
“The impact of the Black Death epidemic on the Pauville country is almost negligible.”
“But the Saint Airo Empire was one of the two most powerful empires after all. Even if its strength declines, no one can be sure whether a dying old wolf will fight back…”
“What’s more, the Saint Airo Empire hasn’t reached the stage of the Weeping Wolf.”
Furthermore, there is Warner Gales, the hero in the original book, in the Saint Airo Empire.
He has slowly gathered power from the king’s hands now…
And the male lead in the original book is paired with the male—whatever you think, the winning side is not here in Gena.
Genna: “The Empire of Anas has disappeared, and the Empire of Saint Iro may not last forever.”
Xia Zoe smiled: “But at least, there are people in the royal family of the Saint Airo Empire who are not stupid…”
“Your Majesty might as well guess that the king became seriously ill after the third prince Khaxu was imprisoned. Is this a coincidence?”
Genna smiled without saying a word, but the meaning was already obvious.
He said: “Since the lord thinks that the time is wrong, this matter can be over here.”
The time to come is very long, and he is not in a hurry.
“I believe that one day, the lord will stand with me.”
Xia Zoe curled her lips and smiled: “Who knows what will happen in the future.”
…
We have finished talking about buying vodka in bulk.
Gena Cosmo will also leave Desinian territory and return to Powell.
Before leaving, Guerner’s staff wanted to struggle one last time.
He tried to get close to the ice cream, and stopped at a position where the ice cream wouldn’t turn and walk away, holding the snow wolf he brought with him in his hand and said a lot to the ice cream.
Clifford’s mouth was dry.
However, the ice cream sat on the spot, and his ice-blue eyes did not fluctuate.
After Xia Zuoyi walked over, the ice cream got up and swept his ankle with his big tail affectionately.
The ice cream whimpered, biting Xia Zoe’s sleeve with his teeth, trying to bring him to the window—this meant going out to play.
Garner was attracted by the cleverness of ice cream.
Clifford couldn’t remove his eyes even more.
He was lost and distressed and said: “This is already the youngest and beautiful snow wolf I have chosen among the wolves. Why don’t the white wolves like it…”
Xia Zoe hugged the head of the ice cream and kissed him, letting it wait a little longer.
Afterwards, he found a reason to comfort him: “Probably because the ice cream wants a partner with the same white hair.”
Clifford was dumb: This… they really didn’t.
Garner sighed, “Let’s forget it for now.”
“Culifo, don’t feel depressed.”
“After all, the white wolf is different from the ordinary wolf. It is unique. We can meet but we can’t force it.”
This makes sense.
Xia Zoe couldn’t help but glance at him.
But then he listened to Gena to continue: “Since the white wolf doesn’t like this snow wolf, maybe the lord can take the white wolf to Pauville as a guest.”
“There are many female wolves in my pack, and there will always be white wolves like…”
Xia Zoe: “…”
In the end, Genna failed to take away a wolf hair and left.
This time has been a bit too busy these days.
After Gena Cosmo was gone, Xia Zoe was finally able to take a breath and take a good rest.
It’s also worth mentioning that he hasn’t seen the Pope very much recently.
—Archbishop Paul came to Desinia some time ago.
Then, the pope often first entered the church in Wissas, not knowing what he was doing.
This night, just after the moonlight hung in the sky, Xia Zoe saw the pope’s crown in front of a large window sill with a view of Lake Parr outside.
He leaned against the railing, raised his head and stared at the starlit night sky, his long, slightly curly hair falling on his shoulders rose slightly with the night breeze…
The pope is dressed in black under the crown, and the whole person seems to be blended into the dazzling star cloth, but is set off by the darkness of night…
Xia Zoe: Very charming.
Look at people under the stars, and everyone looks good.
He walked over and asked: “Mianxia, don’t you go to bed?”
Saigalote turned his head, his golden eyes seemed to be stained with intoxicating tenderness under the moonlight, and he said, “Why didn’t you sleep?”
Xia Zoe: “Not too sleepy yet.”
Want to play for a while.
Saigalote: “Drink?”
“I can drink wine.”
It just happens to be able to help sleep.
After Xia Zoe asked Udit to bring wine and glasses, he let him go to rest.
Immediately, he and the pope sat in front of the window and admired the beauty of the moonlight.
Xia Zoe shook his glass.
He drinks but doesn’t drink much, and he prefers few types of alcohol, and wine is one of them.
The wines in the castle are all self-brewed and have a rich taste.
When the wine stopper was opened, a strong aroma of wine wafted out.
Xia Zuoyi’s mood improved, her face couldn’t help showing a smile, and her brows and eyes were as beautiful as crescent moons.
Saigalote looked away without a trace, took a sip of his drink and said, “There are many other places to learn in your territory.”
“Recently, I have been busy with one thing.”
“what’s up?”
Xia Zoe didn’t expect that the Pope would take the initiative to mention it, so he turned to look at him.
Saigalote: “Orphanage and rescue center.”
“The Black Death epidemic has had a great impact on the people of the Saint-Iro Empire. Although the epidemic has passed, most people are homeless and displaced.”
“The king did not make a timely decision, nor did he come up with relevant effective policies… Therefore, this matter will be handled by the Holy See.”
Xia Zuoyi sat up when he heard the words: “What do you plan to do?”
Saigalote: “During the epidemic, the empire actually formed the initial prototype of the rescue center, but after the epidemic passed, all parties evacuated, and the rescue center gradually fell into disuse after no supply.”
“What’s more, the church reported back the investigations of various places in the empire. Some places are still chaotic and disorderly, and there are many people who can’t eat enough…”
It is not easy for adults to survive, not to mention some children who have not yet grown up.
Saigalote seemed to be very concerned about this matter.
But as the pope, Saigalote doesn’t actually have much compassion.
He can be indifferent to anything and watch with cold eyes, but one thing…
Saigalote: “I remember you said not long ago that it would be great if all the children could be taken care of.”
Xia Zoe was surprised.
The day before, he went to the orphanage in Wissas to take a look at some sick children.
It was also the first day that the alchemist examined the child’s body.
He saw that he was a very young child who was supposed to be naughty and spoiled, but because he lost his family and parents, he was dragging the sick body in the orphanage…
Although it’s uncomfortable, but waiting wisely…It’s really distressing to see that.
Xia Zoe couldn’t help feeling deeply.
He thought, the children in the orphanage can at least eat and wear warmth, but elsewhere…
Xia Zoe couldn’t help but say something casually along with the thoughts in his heart.
But I didn’t expect that this sentence would be remembered by the pope, and…
Xia Zoe couldn’t help pursing her lips.
There is a strange emotion that seems to be like a mellow and strong wine, which is also evaporating from my heart bit by bit.
He didn’t know what to say.
Saigalote picked up the glass at this time and said: “You don’t need to thank me, because this is not your responsibility.”
After he finished speaking, he touched the rim of Xia Zoe’s cup with a wine glass.
Xia Zoe raised her eyebrows, without saying anything, in return for a cup.
Then, he overestimated his drinking capacity—he got drunk after drinking a few more glasses.
As if leaning into a warm chest in the confusion, he heard someone ask in a low voice: “Go to sleep?”
Xia Zoe gave a hum.
The author has something to say: two more.
Xia Xia: The Pope…
Pope: Are you moved?
Xia Xia: Moved, but not all moved. The emotions are a bit complicated and I haven’t figured it out yet.
Pope: Don’t worry, drink first.
Good night
