"What is there to be surprised about, didn't Stiel already tell you?" Seveni had a calm look.
"I'm no longer the queen of the Lampari Kingdom, so there's no need to hide this matter.
Actually, I should have told you earlier, but I kept delaying it until now. Speaking of this, I was actually worried. "
Xu Yi looked at Seveni in a daze and unconsciously asked back, "Worried about what?"
"Worried that you wouldn't admit it." Seveni looked at Xu Yi.
"I'm certain that Raymond is our child because I've only had intimate contact with a man like you once in my life.
But you don't know that with your personality, you'll definitely be suspicious, right? "
Xu Yi was silent.
Indeed, even now, he wasn't certain that Raymond was really his and Seveni's son.
Although in the cooperation between the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the elves in the past few years, there was already a method based on Soul Magic, which was essentially a blood relationship test that could determine parentage, it was impossible for Xu Yi to pull Raymond to do this test with him, so he could never be certain.
Seeing the expression on Xu Yi's face, Seveni gave a sigh before continuing, "Xu Yi, our relationship gradually drifting apart, was it related to this?"
Xu Yi looked at Seveni. He wanted to admit that it was related, but he couldn't harden his heart to nod.
After finding out that Raymond was likely his and Seveni's child, Xu Yi had some prejudices against Seveni.
To him, Seveni didn't hesitate to drug him just to have a child that was related to him by blood.
Like this, this child would definitely become the king of the Lampari Kingdom and Xu Yi would take care of him because he was his child, so he would take care of the Lampari Kingdom.
It had to be said that this was a very common scheme and Xu Yi could understand why Seveni did this.
But he didn't like this method.
After confirming this through his private investigation, Xu Yi gradually distanced himself from Seveni.
Of course, this was not the main reason.
Xu Yi shook his head. "Our relationship is estranged mostly because of our different standpoints."
"You're the queen of the Lampari Kingdom, so you have to think about the Lampari Kingdom in everything you do. I'm the president of the New Flyer, so I have to think about the New Flyer.
Different standpoints would naturally lead to different opinions, and conflicts would naturally occur.
I don't want us to end up as ordinary friends, so it's better to meet less and do things as professionally as possible. "
"What about now?
You are no longer the chairman of the New Flyer and I am no longer the queen of the Lampari Kingdom, can we still be normal friends like before? "Seveni asked.
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, "If I really wasn't willing, Stiel wouldn't have brought you here, right?"
"Hei, Xu Yi, I spent a lot of effort to convince Seveni to come here to see you. If you don't thank me, could it be that you're blaming me?" Stiel popped out from an unknown corner.
"How could I blame you, I can't even thank you enough." Xu Yi laughed.
"Seveni is one of the few good friends I have left. Now that we have a chance to sit down and chat and relive the past, that is the best thing."
"You also feel the same?"
Seveni revealed a smile. She looked around before giving a long sigh, "Actually, after coming here, I found that I realized it too late.
Life here is so relaxed. If I had given the throne to Raymond earlier, I would have been able to enjoy the same relaxed life as you and Stiel. "
"Right, Seveni, I never asked, why did you suddenly decide to give the throne to Raymond?" Stiel asked in a curious voice.
Xu Yi also had a look of concern.
He thought that Seveni would be like the queen of the British Empire on earth, ruling the Lampari Kingdom until she died of old age.
Prince Raymond might be like the tragic prince on earth, being the crown prince for several decades without being able to inherit the throne.
But he never thought that Seveni would suddenly abdicate, giving the throne and all the power of the Lampari Kingdom to Prince Raymond.
"It's not sudden." Seveni shook her head.
"Actually, when Raymond got married, I already had this idea.
I've been training Raymond over the years, letting him participate in politics and making decisions so that he could smoothly inherit the throne.
Now that I feel that the time is right, I'm giving the throne to him, isn't this very normal? "
"No, Seveni, I understand you. Even if you already had this idea, if it wasn't because you were stimulated, you wouldn't suddenly make this decision." Xu Yi said in a certain voice.
Seveni was silent for a bit before giving a bitter laugh.
"Alright, Xu Yi, you're the only one who understands me the most in this world.
That's right, I was indeed stimulated.
Moreover, this stimulation ….. is related to you and Stiel. "
Xu Yi and Stiel were surprised, "How is it related to us?"
"Ask your good daughter Freya." Seveni said with a smile.
Seveni said with a smile, "If it wasn't for her telling me that Raymond didn't agree with me on promoting the space program and secretly complaining that I was too stubborn, making him have scruples about doing many things, how could I suddenly have this idea?"
Xu Yi and Stiel were even more surprised.
"Freya said this to you?" Stiel looked a bit angry.
"How could she say this in front of you!
This is too outrageous! "
"No, after I seriously considered it, I felt that her words were very reasonable.
Now that I've given the Lampari Kingdom to Raymond, I can relax and do whatever I want.
Look, I ran here to see Xu Yi. "Seveni looked relaxed, not caring at all.
She turned to Xu Yi after saying this.
"Xu Yi, it seems like Freya isn't willing to live a peaceful life, you have to be prepared."
Without waiting for Xu Yi to say anything, Stiel knit her brows, "What do you mean by this?"
Xu Yi stopped Stiel and shook his head with a bitter smile, "I know.
This daughter's personality has been like this since she was young, it would be strange if she was obedient.
Of course, with the current Sines situation, being obedient isn't a good thing, right? "
"That's right." Seveni gave a slight nod.
"So I'll give the Lampari Kingdom to Raymond and let him and Freya deal with the Sines that are currently in chaos."
###
Saying that the Sines were in chaos wasn't an exaggeration at all.
Although the Lampari Kingdom had conquered the Angela Kingdom, the follow-up work was far from over.
Now that half a year had passed, there would be some rebel groups that would appear from time to time in the Ahn 'Qiraj Kingdom. They would disrupt the peace of the Ahn' Qiraj Kingdom and make the Lampuri Kingdom very worried.
However, compared to this, the Lampari Kingdom's situation was already very peaceful. The situation in the other parts of the Sines was even worse.
The southeast corner of the continent.
The Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom's offensive had been very smooth in the past two years. Not only did they break through the Chino Kingdom's capital in one fell swoop, they easily took over most of the Chino Kingdom's territory and continued their offensive in the north. Soon, they controlled the entire southeast corner of the continent.
However, after this, the countries in the southeast corner of the continent formed a resistance alliance, uniting the countries in the east to resist the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom.
In the past few years, the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom had been in a stalemate with the resistance forces of these countries. The flames of war continued in the southeast corner of the continent and the east corner of the continent.
In the center of the continent, since the Kandla Empire and the Malor Empire officially started their war, the flames of war had spread to more than half of the Sines' land.
In the past year alone, the armies of the two empires had more than four large-scale battles with more than a hundred thousand people, and there were more than a hundred small-scale battles.
The small countries that were affected were innumerable. The flames of war not only spread to the borders of the two empires, but also extended to the center of the continent, covering half of the continent.
However, the two empires had a tacit understanding. They never really mobilized the power of the entire country and entered an all-out war. They only maintained a fighting stance and fought from time to time. However, they never stopped their development because of this.
Affected by the war, the development of the magic industry in the Sines inevitably slowed down. However, the various industries related to the military had achieved outstanding growth.
Especially in the field of military magic machines. The two empires would take out new military magic machines every once in a while, showing that their technology had made another breakthrough.
At first, it would take a year or two, but in the past two years, it would only take a few months.
Because of the pressure of the war, the two empires and the other countries of the continent had a greater desire for magic machine technology, so they invested even more in research and development.
If it was said that in the past ten years of peace, the magic machine industry in the Sines had quickly developed, but in the recent years of war, the Sines welcomed a new explosion in magic technology.
On earth, when historians analyzed history, they would say that war was the greatest driving force for technology development.
This point was perfectly displayed in this world.
But no one knew what the final development was.
Seveni didn't know and Xu Yi also didn't know.
