Chapter 387: Betrayal
"Very good. Prince Laurie nodded happily.
According to this method, he has all the face, and for him personally, it is already a perfect plan.
If Grand Duke Buck is still not greedy enough by then, then he will not be able to complain about him.
As Sophia just said, there is a price to pay for making mistakes, and the Kingsley family has misjudged the situation in the swamp of despair, so naturally they have to pay for it.
Seeing Prince Laurie's reaction like this, the big stone hanging in Sophia's heart finally fell to the ground.
I've come to the right place.
Many times, family affection needs to give way to interests.
But sometimes, for the sake of precious family affection, what's the harm in giving up some of the benefits?
When even the things you protect are gone, what's the use of seeking great benefits?
"Shall we go and see the Giant Eagle Mount now?" asked Prince Laurie, who had untied the knot, with great interest.
A child who thinks he has grown up is actually still a child, and his playfulness is still very heavy.
"Naturally. Sophilia winked at Prince Laurie and said with a sly smile, "Baron Sean has promised to give me a young eagle that can be domesticated into a giant eagle mount, and he probably has one in his hand, whether he can squeeze one out of his hand depends on your personal ability, but don't blame me for not reminding you, come and rob me when the time comes." ”
"Really?" asked Prince Laurie, his eyes wide, and a look of surprise on his face.
"You'll find out if you try it yourself. Sophia pit Sean without any psychological burden, because she didn't believe that Sean only had three young eagles in his hands.
She didn't perceive Sean's verbal trap, but simply out of understanding the other party, she multiplied the number of young eagles in the other party's hands by ten, which was about the same.
This guy's favorite thing is to make a fortune silently, and then jump out and be scared.
Now that I can take the initiative to give it away, I must have a certain foundation in my hands.
If Sean knew Sophia's true thoughts, he would definitely be bent, this time he took the initiative to send the young eagle, there were really no other political considerations in it, and he simply determined his own heart and used it to ensure the safety of his future daughter-in-law.
If it is based on the alliance between the two sides alone, when will the Eternal Night Warlord establish absolute air superiority, when will he consider supporting the allies or selling them to the outside world.
When he said goodbye to Prince Laurie, Sean was visibly aware of the contradiction in the other party's attitude.
There is not only a bit of hostility that has not been completely eliminated, but also a little bit of embarrassment, as well as inexplicable reserve and expectation.
Sean only thought that Prince Laurie had been persuaded by Sophia, but he still insisted on the reserve of a young man and refused to bow his head, where did he think that the princess regent had sold herself, and the other party was struggling with how to open her mouth and ask herself for the giant eagle mount Eagle Cub.
If you open your mouth and are rejected, wouldn't it be a very shameless thing.
In the eyes of this kind of young people who don't have much social experience, face is more important than everything.
After seeing the black collar with his own eyes, the reserved attitude of this young man was immediately thrown into the country of Java, and his mind was attracted to this huge and beautiful creature, and it would be fascinating to be able to ride on its back and sail through the sky.
Especially when this kind of thing is close at hand, I can't help myself.
"Black collar, come down. Sean greeted the black collar that hovered more than a dozen meters above their heads.
Previously in the Valesta Palace, Wendy's bear child left a psychological shadow on it, seeing that there were outsiders in the field, it no longer landed easily, it was not a public plane, not everyone could ride, it was also an eagle with an eagle face.
"Nobody's going to ride you, get down. Sean said helplessly.
It's not all a good thing if the mount is too smart, and if you suffer a loss once, you won't be fooled a second time.
His two mounts, one empty and one on land, each have their own personalities, they are slippery in fire, and the black collar is arrogant, but their abilities are top-notch, which makes people love and hate.
Chirp!chirp!
The black collar makes a crisp eagle chirping.
Others can't hear it, but Sean can easily tell the difference in its tweets.
The translation is basically "Lord Eagle believes in you as a ghost, good things have never thought of Lord Eagle, and now call Lord Eagle to come, eighty percent is for your vanity." ”
"You can't get down, don't come down and cut off your food!" the trick failed, and Sean changed it to a threat.
"Chirp!" - Lord Eagle went out to hunt wild food by himself.
"Well, hurry down, and I'll make you your favorite roast beef dinner when I get back." "The threat is not changed to an inducement.
"Chirp and tweet!" - the rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent.
In the end, Sean bowed his head and admitted defeat, and said to Prince Laurie: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, this guy is getting more and more slippery, he suffered a loss before, and he doesn't let strangers get close." ”
"It's okay, even that was an eye-opener for me. Prince Laurie forced a smile, the scene of a person and an eagle talking in the air just now was also very interesting, he couldn't understand the eagle's song, but it didn't prevent him from making up his brain.
Besides, he now has other purposes in mind, and the limit of forbearance is naturally higher.
"Every time we meet, His Excellency the Baron always surprises us. Prince Laurie complimented him with his unskillful skills.
"It is my greatest honor to be recognized by His Highness. Sean smiled and shifted the topic to what Prince Laurie was interested in and good at, "Your Highness's tactical football training hasn't fallen short recently, right?" I heard that Valesta is preparing for a summer league, if His Royal Highness affects his performance because of this inspection, it will make the normal summer league lose a lot of glory, and it will disappoint countless ladies and ladies." ”
When Sean first visited Valesta, Prince Laurie showed a keen interest in tactical football, a variant of rugby that was very popular in the Eternal Night Army.
Sean then used tactical rugby to convince Sophia to allow Prince Laurie to form his own rugby team with the help of the Eternal Night Leader.
Maybe Prince Laurie has limited entertainment on weekdays, or maybe this variant of the game, which gives tactics and entertainment, really meets his appetite.
He didn't have a fondness for it like most teenagers, and it only lasted for a while.
He put a lot of thought into tactical rugby, not only carefully selecting players to form his own tactical rugby team, but also promoting the sport in the royal capital of Valesta, with great success.
There are very few large-scale entertainment activities in this world, whether it is the aristocracy or the people at the bottom.
The only thing that can be done seems to be the knight tournament organized by major cities.
But this kind of tournament tends to be an individual competition, and a group competition like tactical rugby is unprecedented.
The kind of complex tactical use on the battlefield can easily provoke the blood of those who are not good at fighting, let alone those young people who are enthusiastic themselves.
Then there is the identity of Prince Laurie, which has played a good role in facilitating.
Never underestimate the influence of the name of the royal family in ordinary people, many times, the royal family represents nobility.
Once you've been associated with the royal family, you'll definitely get the most out of it, especially in Valesta, a city where the majesty of the royal family is integrated into everyday life.
The business of the Eternal Night Commander is smooth sailing in Valesta, and it is hot not to be wanted.
In addition to the attractiveness of their goods, the golden sign of the royal family that they pulled from the beginning definitely plays a role that cannot be ignored, and the endorsement fee paid by the Eternal Night Army Leader to the regent Princess Sophie is definitely worth the money.
What's more, Prince Laurie is destined to become the future king of the Lancelot royal family, and his every move will be supported by countless people openly and secretly, trying to make him happy, and now there is an opportunity to take the initiative to send it to the door, so it is natural to fully grasp it.
All kinds of tactical rugby teams have sprung up.
Putting aside the advantages and disadvantages, the rise of any industry, at the beginning, is mixed.
But at least there are as many as eighteen tactical rugby teams that can be called famous.
The most important thing in this kind of adversarial competitive game is that there are opponents, and only when there are opponents and fierce competitions can we attract more audiences.
As it turns out, Valesta thinks highly of themselves and thinks they are a cut above everyone else, but when it comes to appreciating tastes, they are on par with the Andes of the Eternal Night.
More and more Valestas are falling in love with the sport, and the league is just about to come into being.
"How can His Excellency the Baron be so exaggerated? Prince Laurie looked a little smug and a little embarrassed.
His talent in this area, coupled with his unique identity, is very eye-catching on the field, which undoubtedly makes him find a presence and naturally love the sport more and more.
"The fact that this sport can be carried forward in the royal capital is the credit of His Highness, not mine. Sean didn't hesitate to give his compliments, "I'm looking forward to His Highness's performance in the Summer League." ”
Prince Laurie waved his hand again and again, "I haven't decided whether I will participate in the Summer League yet!"
"Still unsure? Why?" Sean's surprise wasn't faked.
"I did not allow him to participate, and it is undignified to participate in such a public competition as a prince. Sophia replied for Prince Laurie.
"Undignified?" Sean looked at Sophia with a slightly strange look.
This sentence came out of her mouth, making Sean feel the urge to laugh, after all, it was this sentence that she was most impatient with, and now she used this to bind Prince Laurie, don't you think it's funny?
And there was no one to supervise for the past two days, and when she got wild, she was also crazy.
Sophia glared at Sean, then turned to Prince Laurie and said, "This was my original idea, and now I have a new understanding of this issue, and it is not a bad thing to let those citizens know their future king in advance, it all depends on your own opinion." ”
Princess Regent's decentralization of power to Prince Laurie is not just words, but real action, and now is the beginning of her loosening the reins.
"Really?" Prince Laurie's heart was full of surprise.
I haven't seen you for a few months, and my sister has changed too much, right?
This made the parties Laurie a little uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but suspect for a moment that standing in front of him was a fake Sophia.
When he returned to the royal capital Valesta, everything was his dream.
"Really. Sophia nodded, "But I have a request for you, a sister's request for a younger brother, and that is to come back with the championship." ”
"No problem. Prince Laurie nodded confidently and said, "I'll do my best." ”
"That's not what I want to hear. Sophia was not satisfied with this answer.
Prince Laurie exclaimed, "I'll definitely come back with the championship." ”
"This is my Sophia's younger brother, and this is the momentum of the future king of Lancelot. Sophia nodded in satisfaction, "I'm looking forward to your performance this summer." ”
"If Your Highness wants to win the championship, you must work harder, and our Eternal Night Leader will send the best team to participate, and we will not release water when the time comes. Sean laughed and joined in the fun.
"It's natural, since it's a game, of course, we have to follow the principle of fairness and justice, and I will lead my team to win the final championship with my own strength. Prince Laurie said confidently.
"We'll see. Sean turned to Sophia and said, "Your Highness's affairs should be almost over, we don't have time to delay here for more, if we can, let's leave as soon as possible." ”
"Our schedule is urgent, but it's not urgent, is it?" said Sophia, frowning.
"As soon as we show up here, it won't take a day for Grand Duke Buck to get the news, so it's better to go back early. Sean tactfully pointed out that Prince Laurie had the eyeliner of Grand Duke Buck in his ranks.
They had been able to hide their tracks from the others all the way, but now they couldn't.
Without waiting for Sophia to answer, Prince Laurie hurriedly said, "Even if you are in a hurry, it will not be one night, my sister and your Excellency the Baron, even if you ride a giant eagle, you have been sleeping in the open for several days, why don't you take a hot bath, sleep well, and go on the road tomorrow morning?"
It's not that he can't bear his sister, but he hasn't found the right opportunity to ask Sean for the giant eagle mount, the young eagle.
If he didn't settle this matter, wouldn't he have to itch all the way.
"We really should fix it. "Prince Laurie's hot bath made Sophia very excited.
Although she is not pampered, she itches all over her body without taking a bath for a day.
But the power of habit is strong, and a few days of abnormal washing make her a little awkward.
"Alright, let's fix it all night and leave tomorrow. "Sean didn't need it much, but he couldn't help but take care of Sophia's feelings.
"I'll let someone do it. "Prince Laurie is going to arrange accommodation for the two.
When Prince Laurie walked away, Sean couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"
Sophia smiled smugly and said, "I've gone out myself, and there are still things that I can't do?" ”
"We'll consider this carefully. Sean let out a long sigh of relief.
As long as it can be ensured that Prince Laurie does not completely fall to the side of Grand Duke Buck, even if he needs to make concessions, it will be good news for the Eternal Night Lord.
After all, in the future, they will have to act on the face of this Lord in Valesta.
If it leaves a pimple in his heart, it will be more than worth the loss.
"I'll show you the bottom first, I've already told him that you're going to give me a giant eagle mount eagle cub, and he really wants one, and he may find a way to open his mouth and ask you for it later, you should think about how to deal with it first!" Sophia turned herself in directly in front of Sean.
"Ahem......" Sean almost choked on his own saliva, his eyes widened, "You did it on purpose?"
Once Prince Laurie opened his mouth, if he refused outright, wouldn't their previous efforts be in vain?
What made Sean even more incredulous was that Sophia had sold herself so quickly.
No, it's more likely that Sophia wants to squeeze the eagle cub out of his hand in this way.
She opened her mouth to ask for more, and she would definitely try her best to refuse, because he knew that even if she refused, she would be able to look at this problem rationally and would not destroy the relationship between the two parties.
But if Prince Laurie had spoken, it would have been difficult for him to refuse, and who knows how a young man with a wounded self-esteem would react to being rejected?
This kind of thing can't be overestimated.
