Although the number of patients was small, it took a long time for Ilsa to comfort each patient one by one.

While offering condolences to the injured, Ilsa also paid tribute to the doctors and nurses who were resting.

It was already late at night when we finished comforting everyone and walked out of the temporary hospital.

Under the protection of the guards, Ilsa and Eliza walked all the way back to the main hall of the Baiyang palace.

When she came to the door of the main hall, Ilsa suddenly stopped and said to the guards beside her:

"You all step back and leave Eliza and I alone."

"Yes!"

After Ilsa's order was given, the leader of the guards immediately responded respectfully, and then led the guards back to leave Ilsa and Eliza alone.

Ilsa and Eliza watched the retiring guards.

It was not until all the guards disappeared from view that Ilsa turned her head and smiled at Eliza:

"Eliza, can you look at the stars with me?"

Hearing Ilsa's invitation, Eliza raised her eyebrows in surprise and doubt, and then nodded immediately:

"Of course."

Eliza herself likes watching stars.

Eliza looked up at the full moon hanging high in the night sky and the stars in the sky. Her thoughts couldn't help returning to six years ago.

——Suddenly I miss you

Eliza sighed with some sadness in her heart.

——It was six years ago that he first looked at the stars with Su Cheng.

——Six years ago... After leaving the year-end dinner in 289 of the imperial calendar, I watched the stars in a hotel with Su Cheng.

——It was six years ago, but it always felt like it just happened yesterday.

——I don't know where Su Cheng is now and how he is now

Just as Eliza looked at the starry sky above her head and missed Su Cheng she hadn't seen for a long time, she was also silently looking at Elsa in the starry sky and suddenly said coldly:

"Eliza, did you see the scene in the hospital just now? It's terrible... The scenes in the hospital, when I think back now, I still can't help getting angry. "

Eliza was stunned by ELSA's sudden problem and emotion.

But she reacted quickly and nodded heavily:

"Well... It's really terrible..."

As soon as Eliza's voice fell, Ilsa immediately continued:

"I hated war since I began to learn calligraphy and reading."

"Because I think the war is really terrible."

"Just from the teacher's lectures and the introduction of books, I can deeply feel the horror of war."

"As long as war breaks out, a large number of people will be hurt by the outbreak of war."

Eliza didn't know why Ilsa suddenly expressed such feelings, but she stood aside and listened quietly.

"However - something ironic happened."

Speaking of this, a faint bitter smile suddenly appeared on Ilsa's face.

This bitter smile is full of self mockery.

"After I became the emperor of this country, I suddenly found that war is hard to avoid. Even if I don't want war, war will stick to me."

"Like the 'overlord counterattack' three years ago. I don't want to go to war with the holy Hiram Empire at all, but the southern invasion of the Hiram army forced me to start a fist to fist war with the holy Hiram empire. "

"Moreover, after becoming the emperor of this country, I not only found that war is difficult to avoid, but also found that war is not so annoying."

"The great success of the 'overlord counterattack' has brought immeasurable direct and potential benefits to China."

"This is the first time in my life that I have intuitively felt the benefits of a successful war."

"The great success of the 'overlord counterattack' stimulated me, so I decided to make another external offensive and try to reproduce the great success of the 'overlord counterattack', so I and your ministers, under a lot of pressure, borrowed money from the Ryan family and agreed to launch the 'Aurora' offensive."

"Eliza, you should know more about the outcome of the aurora offensive than I do, so I won't say more."

"The 'overlord counterattack' three years ago and the 'Aurora' offensive two years ago blurred my previous view of the war."

"What is my view of war now... In fact, I don't know myself..."

"I only know - although I still think war is terrible, I don't hate war so much..."

"Although the war is quite terrible, many people will die because of it."

"But as long as it is a war that can earn a lot of benefits for our country, it is worth fighting."

Speaking of this, Ilsa breathed a sigh of remembrance on her face.

"Many years ago... About five or six years ago, I asked Mr. Cheng a question - how to make the world peaceful."

"At that time, teacher Cheng didn't give me a clear answer."

"This is normal. After all, this is not a question that can be easily answered."

"Now when I think about it carefully, it's funny that a little girl under the age of 10 is thinking about how to make world peace."

"But at that time, I was quite naive. I really thought about what to do there, so that the countries on the mainland could stop expedition and keep peace on the mainland forever."

"The method I came up with at that time was to actively strengthen communication. As long as countries sit down and communicate well, they can avoid the outbreak of war."

"Communication is the best way to solve things - that's what I thought at that time."

"I was so naive and lovely at that time. I naively thought that 'strengthening communication' was the only way to avoid war."

"How can we avoid war by strengthening communication... In the hundreds of years of war with the Frankish Empire, we have communicated with each other many times, and which one worked?"

"We have a deep blood feud and a strong conflict of interest with the Frankish empire. How can we end the hundred year war by sitting down and speaking calmly together?"

"It's a pity that I didn't understand this when I was young."

"Until four years ago, after participating in the battle against the bandits in the west, someone taught me a truth. Although I can't remember what the man said to me, I still clearly remember the meaning of what he said to me - communication or violence, there is no difference between good and bad, just a means to solve things, Some things are suitable to be solved by communication, and some things must be solved by violence. "

"When I just comforted the wounded in the hospital, I felt very sad."

"If it had not been for the invasion of us by the Frankish Empire, these soldiers would not have been injured and so many people would not have died."

"The invasion of our country by the Frankish Empire has made me deeply aware that if we do not end the hundred year war with them as soon as possible, we will still have a large number of people killed and injured by the war that has taken more than 100 years."

"Not just the Frankish empire."

"The same is true of the Lorraine Empire and the Holy Hiran empire. If we can't keep peace with them forever, there will still be a large number of people who will die because of the war that doesn't know when to break out in the future. "

"I want world peace. I don't want our children and grandchildren to be injured or killed because of this seemingly endless war."

After that, Ilsa took her eyes away from the full moon above her head.

Look East.

Looking at the dark skyline in the East, Ilsa pulled out her sword around her waist, raised it slowly, and pointed the sword tip to the dark skyline in the East.

"... Eliza, I ask you."

Although Ilsa was asking Eliza, her low voice seemed to be asking herself.

"Since we use communication, there is no way for the mainland countries to stop the expedition."

"So --"

"If we are one, will there be peace?"

……

……

Eliza didn't answer Ilsa's question.

Because... She really didn't know how to answer.

So she kept silent.

She remained silent until Ilsa put away her sword and went into the main hall of Baiyang palace with her, and then she finally said:

"Your Majesty... It's getting late... Have an early rest."
