307 Chapter 307
Roshien was the eldest prince of Omni, he was supposed to be the first in line to the throne, but one of his legs was broken when he was young, and the future king could not be a cripple, and the old king had a new queen, and the new queen gave birth to a healthy, beautiful, intelligent and sensible little prince, so that he naturally became a duke with nothing to do after the old king died, and left the castle.
Such a fate, will it be resentful?
Would you suspect that the leg was scrapped by the White Queen?
Before seeing Roshien again, Arthur thought about it, thinking that if it was him, he would be more or less suspicious, and as for resentment, it would be necessary to look at the situation.
"Your Majesty, you are welcome. ”
Roshien sitting on the magic seat was not a hearty and sunny young man, his expression was a little gloomy, with a deformed leg, unable to run and move around like everyone else, and even lost the throne that should belong to him, he should be unhappy, but when he raised his smile, he didn't seem so reluctant, just a little rusty.
There is not much of this brother in the memory of the original owner, in the court, it may be inherently difficult to make these half-brothers like a family, they have not been raised together since they were young, and the age difference is not deliberate on weekdays, and it is rare to be able to see them, and the few times are when the old king is still there.
Basically, apart from polite greetings, the two brothers, who have not said anything, are not close at all.
The old king died for more than ten years, and inherited the throne for more than ten years, Arthur never came to visit Roshien, and Roshien never went to see him, perhaps because his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he didn't want to go out.
Roshien's face was undisguised in surprise, he didn't know how his younger brother the king had come to his mansion.
Arthur wasn't going to say anything serious, so he sent the guards to rest, and then began to chat with Roshien, talking about Roshien's marriage, which made him have some uncomfortable looks on his face, and it was a little strange for anyone to let his younger brother, who was younger than himself, care about his wife.
Minister Zuo seemed to touch his mustache, stroked the curvature twice, narrowed his eyes, and spoke in agreement.
The Right Minister did not feel that there was anything to talk about on this topic, but just listened quietly and did not interject inappropriately.
After this meeting and chat, Roshien sent people away, only to find that he had inexplicably agreed to attend a palace blind date banquet.
Moreover, it is also a princess for all countries.
Looking at the group leaving, Roshien's expression was a little dark, what did he want to do? on a whim, or... He couldn't guess the other party's thoughts, and the only thing he was glad about was that there were still three months left, and he didn't have to be embarrassed right away.
"Your Highness, have you done this with Her Majesty's consent?"
The right minister was a little uneasy, and although he didn't know why he felt this way, he suddenly did such a thing...
"Of course the queen mother will agree, and find a princess to her stepson, my brother, isn't it right? ”
Arthur said nonchalantly, not thinking it was a big deal at all.
Yes, this is just a trivial matter, just a blind date banquet, anyway, there are all kinds of dinners almost every day? The dinner party for various countries is definitely lively enough.
"But..."
The right minister was about to say something, but Arthur interrupted him: "Why, do you have any opinion different from that of me, the king?"
No one can ignore the reread "king", no matter what power the White Queen has, but nominally, the king of the Omni country is only Arthur, and only Arthur.
"No, nothing. The right minister shuddered for a moment, and did not dare to say anything.
Arthur smiled, more satisfied with his attitude, and then said to him: "Now, don't go back to the palace, you go and do something, tell the merchants of the Tro country this news, and let them send this news to all the countries they know as quickly as possible, and I will see the envoys of other countries in three months, at least the envoys." ”
"This...," the right minister hesitated.
"Brush", the bright light of the long sword shook his eyes, and the long sword that had been pinned to Arthur's waist was pulled out by him at this time and pointed directly at the right minister, his eyes were as cold as the sword light, "I don't need a minister who doesn't know how to carry out my orders, or, I can tell the queen mother to let you participate in the next hunt with those non-humans, I think, it must be very exciting." ”
Such a strong threat made the right minister feel cold in his heart, he understood for the first time that His Royal Highness the prince had grown up, and he was not a child at the mercy of others, and he didn't need a minister who swayed from side to side, but, could he beat the White Queen?
No, that's not something he's supposed to care about, whether they can fight or not, they're both mother and son, and they won't hurt their lives, and he...
The right minister turned over and dismounted, knelt in front of the horse of His Royal Highness the Prince, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Arthur withdrew his sword, nodded, and watched the right minister turn over and leave again, and laughed softly, "That's what a minister should do, isn't it?"
Minister Zuo didn't dare to say anything, smiled, and did not speak.
The status of the entourage is too low, and they don't understand what happened before, but looking at it like this, it seems that the right minister was disobedient and was taught a lesson, and it was not a big deal, as for those guards, they didn't care about these things at all, as long as there was an order from above, they just did it, and the others didn't need to know, and they didn't need to understand so clearly.
Arthur looked around at the expressions of everyone in the team, and smiled again, compared to the treacherous and cunning left minister, the right minister is young and reckless, but it is the kind that can be frightened, and the others, even if they are loyal, have little ability to do what he commands.
"I hope that there are some things that I personally go to say to the queen mother, rather than someone saying it in advance behind my back, and I don't think any of you will want to experience it. ”
The wind swept over Minister Zuo, this guy, can follow him, whether it is the White Queen or not, at least he will understand that the contradiction between mother and son is not something that outsiders can interfere with casually, he doesn't need these people to be loyal enough to keep their mouths shut, such a big thing, he can't hide it from the White Queen, what he wants is to let the whole thing have a better explanation for the White Queen to accept.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will command them. Minister Zuo smiled and changed his words, his attitude was kind, as if he didn't realize that he might be alone in the warning.
Arthur smiled a little satisfied, and took the lead.
Back in the castle, Arthur went to see the White Queen as soon as possible, and the other party got up from a nap, the silky silk robe had a pearl luster, even in the poorly lit room, it didn't look dull, the platinum-blonde long hair was not coiled up, and naturally fell behind her, making her less lofty in the past, and more feminine, but her expression was still cold, like the 10,000-year-old ice and snow on the high snow-capped mountain, and she couldn't find a trace of the possibility of melting.
"In such a hurry, is there anything wrong?"
"yes, there's something, it's still a big deal. Arthur was a little bit of a young man's interest, he was not fond of acting, and he didn't know if he could play it, but the other party probably didn't care so much.
He recounted what he had said about the blind date banquet of various countries, and then added: "Isn't this kind of blind date banquet more interesting than those cookie-cutter dinners? ”
"Princess?" the White Queen looked sideways, finally shifting her gaze from her own image in the vanity mirror to Arthur's, "Am I mistaken? ”
"Yes, but he should be able to be crowned a prince when he gets married, and after all, he is the eldest prince, and it must sound better. Arthur's heart was lifted here, and it went around in circles, and this matter was the more crucial place.
As a powerless and powerless His Majesty the King, he needs assistance, and this assistance, when the inhumans in the country are hit to such an extent, even if he has the same goal as the non-people, it is impossible to join forces, and their cooperation is more troublesome for him, and abroad, not to mention that he doesn't know anyone abroad, he really knows it, and when he finds it, who can say whether it is to lure the wolf into the house?
However, his brother, a person who is destined to be undestined for the throne is different, becoming a prince, he can have the existence of the prince's name such as the minister of the guard, he can use the name of the other party to cultivate cronies, I believe that Roshien will not mind this, and his marriage, marrying a princess of another country as a princess, the princess always has to have some dowry, whether it is manpower or others, it will be a reliable help.
At least, in the general absence of war in the world, it is easier to seek a less greedy in-law.
Secondly, it is his own marriage, it is best to decide at this blind date banquet, and then it is a reliable and powerful in-law, then, these forces combined, even if they are inferior, can force the White Queen to restrain herself and be less unscrupulous.
Cultural differences determine that Arthur cannot be as ruthless as he is in the plot and cannot be so short-sighted. In any case, the presence of the White Queen, her powerful sorcery presence, is a strong barrier to the Omni Kingdom, so how stupid must he be to disarm himself and wait for those invaders to enter.
Thinking about the general situation in various countries on the mainland, and then thinking about the situation in their own country, if it weren't for the fact that the White Queen was too cruel and provoked the material injuries of those countries that were not dominated by human beings, I am afraid that even aggression would not have been possible, it would be a huge cost of manpower and financial resources for them and not necessarily of any benefit, if it weren't for the fact that the White Queen was dead at that time, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to please them.
