Section 61 Two Princes

"This is Master Harry's Archage!" a voice interrupted Harry's thoughts.

Opposite was a man in his 30s, dressed in a 'sophisticated' aristocratic gown with a luxurious shawl draped over it. The gown was covered with gold-trimmed fabrics and emerald buttons, and the cuffs and collar were trimmed with royal dragon 'flowers'.

A face so pale that there is almost no blood, and there is not even a trace of red in the lips. He has a slender figure, a delicate face, blond hair, and sapphire-like eyes on both sides of a high nose, and a somewhat 'gloomy' gaze. Standing there, although he looked weak, he faintly had a Ling Ran momentum, which made people dare not despise it, and he looked like he had undergone strict etiquette training when he was a child.

There were also two burly knightly guards standing beside him, and at a glance, Harilo knew that both of them were level 8 masters. The two of them were very professional in protecting the man in the middle, and if anyone tried to attack, they must pass the two of them first.

Harry could vaguely guess the man's identity, but he wasn't sure. He immediately smiled and asked, "This is ......?"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Xi. I'm glad to meet Master Mage here, and when I went out today, I thought something good was going to happen. It seems that I should have met Your Excellency by chance!" The other man smiled all over his face, and seemed to be genuinely happy. It's just that he didn't know that Nilander had already promoted Harry to the rank just now, and now he was a flying sword mage of the same level as the Holy Mage.

His Majesty the Emperor today is known as Nilander Oduras...... Judging by the age, it should be His Majesty's second prince. Looking at this figure, it does look like a person who has just recovered from a critical illness.

Although he met himself by chance, looking at this posture, how did he look like a special 'gate' waiting for him at the 'gate'? How could a prince hang out at the 'gate' of the palace without anything? And he had no intention of going in to meet His Majesty.

"It seems that Your Excellency has guessed my identity...... Yes, the current emperor is my father. Xi smiled slightly, and immediately covered up the slight 'gloomy' 'color' in his eyes.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Second Prince...... Harry didn't know what the other party meant by waiting for him, so he had to give a salute first. Nodding slightly.

"Lord Harry is so polite, get up, you are still my savior. If it weren't for the dragon's blood taken by Your Excellency, I'm afraid that I would still be on the sickbed at this moment, and I might have died a long time ago. At this point, Prince Xi bowed gracefully, his posture was extremely elegant, and Harry couldn't help but praise it secretly. It seems that the other party is courting himself.

It seems that his open battle with Tuclair has attracted a lot of attention...... Although Prince Xi felt 'excited' in his mouth to save his life, but it has been a few months since this incident, why have I never seen him come here to wait? And he and Xianni are still good friends, if Prince Xi really has a heart, at least he can worship Xie Jiru first, and then ask him to convey the meaning of 'excitement' to himself.

Although he didn't care about Prince Xi's gratitude, after a series of things such as destroying Ravenhod, making a big splash at the ruins of the gods, and defeating Tuclet, Prince Xi suddenly came to show favor to him, which was a bit funny......

"Whatever His Royal Highness Xi says, it is what I should do. What's more, Your Majesty has rewarded me with a lot of benefits. Harry replied politely. Let's see what the other party's purpose is today.

"Your Excellency is too polite, you are a magician, you don't need to bow to me. I've been wanting to see you for a long time, and since I happened to meet you today, I wonder if you'd like to come to my house for dinner?"

If he didn't agree, would he grab himself and run? Harry had such a strange thought, his eyes fixed on Prince Xi, ready to grab his right hand.

He was not interested in getting involved in the struggle between princes. No matter what you think about, you know what kind of heart Prince Xi has to invite you today. It's just that Nilander is still in good health, and Prince Xi has just come down from the sickbed, so he is so impatient to win over the forces?

His elder brother was already twenty years older than him, and while he was still an infant, the eldest prince had already begun to learn to handle the affairs of the empire. As an adult, Xi got that strange illness again, so that the eldest prince was ahead of him for thirty years. This gap is not so easy to pull back. And nominally, the eldest prince is the legitimate heir.

"Yo, isn't this the emperor's brother, why didn't he lie in the house to recuperate, and ran to the big 'gate' of the palace?" There was a high-pitched shout in the distance, and there was no need to guess, Harry knew the identity of the man.

The appearance of the person who came was mighty and handsome, with a hooked nose and brown and yellow 'colored' skin. There are also four samurai guards behind him, and depending on the strength, it is also about level 8. He wears a light gold helmet studded with jewels, with a feather 'stick' on the top of the helmet, and holds an unsheathed one-handed sword in his right hand, the hilt and sheath are gold-colored, and there are diamonds on it, which shows his noble status.

Unlike Prince Xi, the eldest prince has real power, and the guards behind him look like experienced soldiers who have been stained with blood, and they have definitely been trained in the battlefield of life and death, and the fierce light in his eyes makes Prince Xi's expression a little flustered.

In comparison, the two knights behind Xi were a little worse, but the look in their eyes was still firm. It seems that these two knights were newly sent to Xi's subordinates, and they didn't know how to help Xi resist the momentum of the other party, and let the other party oppress his master like this. After all, Xi couldn't get out of the room before, so why did he need a personal guard?

The eldest prince is burly, which is in stark contrast to Xi. When he stood beside Xi, at first glance, he couldn't imagine that the two were still brothers.

The eldest prince glanced at Xi contemptuously, no longer looked at him, but owed slightly, and said to Harry: "In the last battle on the outskirts of the imperial capital, your demeanor made me admire it very much, and my father named your Excellency a flying sword mage, and it really deserves its name!"

Harry was secretly shocked in his heart, Niland had just sealed his new title inside, and the great prince already knew about it, it seemed ...... The eyes and ears of this great prince Ray have spread all over Nilander.

So Xi invited himself just now, he must have known it, and now he must be preparing to save the face of Prince Xi.

Sure enough, Ray didn't wait for Harry to speak, and continued: "I have prepared a table of water and wine in the mansion, I wonder if His Excellency the Flying Sword Mage is willing to appreciate his face?"

Unlike Xi's gracious invitation, Ray's approach to things is straightforward, leaving Harry with no room to refuse. The other party has even done the water and wine, can you not go? Anyway, he is also a prince, although Harry's status is also noble, but he is afraid that he will not give the eldest prince face.

"What do you mean, Brother Huang!" Because of anger, Xi's face showed a trace of blood, and his voice became sharper because of the 'agitation': "Your Excellency Harry has agreed to my invitation just now, if you want to invite, let's do it another day!"

When did he say yes?Harry couldn't help but be a little stunned......

"Your house is full of herbs, in case you are not careful, and the food is mixed with something unclean...... Those things are good 'medicine' for you, but not necessarily for normal people!" Lei Leng snorted, the mockery in his mouth obvious. You're not a normal person yet.

"How good can you be in that house! There are wild 'women' drilling in all day long, be careful that Your Excellency the Imperial Master sees a scene that should not be seen!" Xi replied not to be outdone.

These two princes...... In front of an outsider, they exposed each other's shortcomings. Harry stood in the middle awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

If only one prince comes to invite, even if he agrees to one party, it will be nothing. After all, it's just a meal, and there's nothing wrong with it. But now both sides are invited at the same time, and they are competing with each other, if they choose one of them...... It is bound to offend the other party.

This Nilander isn't dead yet...... Looking at that state, it is not a big problem to live for a few more decades, why should he get too close to a certain prince now! Choosing a team too early will make his relationship with Nilander very complicated. Neutrality is the right choice!

But if you reject both of them at the same time, I'm afraid I'll offend both of them...... Harry wasn't afraid to offend the two princes, but there was no need for it.

Just as Harry was in a dilemma, a savior appeared! A magnificent carriage drove towards the palace, it was Lilith's carriage! Harry saw the big man Roya Lou from afar.

"I'm sorry...... Your Highness, you have an appointment today!" Harry bowed slightly with a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes looked at Lilith's carriage.

The two princes knew Lilith, and anyway, Lilith was also nominally their sister. It's just that I didn't expect that this Lilith actually had a relationship with Harry, but it's no wonder, the two are the same age, and Harry's strength is still above Kerr. It's not uncommon for Lilith to take a fancy to him. I just don't know if Harry can eat this little evil 'girl'.

There was a sudden look on Lei's face, this kind of thing, there is no need for many men. He can still accept his invitation to turn down for this reason. As long as Harry doesn't walk with Xi, he doesn't bother to take care of other things. He is confident that now the second child has no power and power, and his body has not fully recovered, and it is basically impossible to compete with himself. I believe that after thinking about it, Harry naturally knows which side to stand.

Xi is obviously a little unhappy, but Lilith has a special identity, and she can't compete with her for anything. Originally, he came to stop Harry outside the palace 'gate' today, just to find out the wind, but he was destroyed by Thunder. He glared at Lei fiercely, and Lei was not to be outdone, and also glared at Xi with a mocking face.

Regardless of the two princes competing there, Lilith's carriage had already arrived. A beautiful little head sticks out of the small window of the carriage, and it is not who Lilith is!

"Huh, Ray, Xi, why are you here?" Lilith's big pretty eyes blinked, and then turned her attention to Harry.

"Originally, I was going to invite Harry to my mansion for a banquet, but since he has an appointment with you, little sister, then I have to wait another day. Ray smiled kindly, if anything, Lilith, the county lord, was more important to Ray than Princess Senny. After all, she has a powerful prime minister, True Father, and if she can still make things happen with Harry, this weight will be even heavier. So he has always been polite to Lilith.

"Harry has an appointment with me?" Lilith had a blank look on her face, she had indeed come to Harry, but she hadn't agreed anything with him.

"Ahem!" Seeing that he was about to get into a goof, Harry stepped forward quickly and said loudly, "Although it is still a little early before the time we agreed, since you have already come to the palace, you must have come to pick me up!"

Over, he winked at Lilith!

Lilith was a little strange, but it went so smoothly that Harry agreed to go with her, and she didn't bother to bother with anything else. He raised his hand at Harry, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere." ”

Harry turned back and nodded politely to the two princes, and then slipped into Lilith's carriage.

Xi saw that things could not be done, so he had to leave. Although Ray didn't invite Harry, he hindered Harry from getting close to Xi, and he was in a good mood, so he left with his men in a brazen manner.

At the top of the palace, Neelander and Bernard lowered their binoculars.

"I, the two emperors, really ...... Hey!" Nilander shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to mind...... They're just a little anxious!" Berner advised.

"Fight in a panic now!Am I dying?" Nilander seemed to be a little dissatisfied, "Don't they know that no matter how big the power is now, no matter how many court officials are attracted now, the initiative is still in my hands in the end!"

"Your Majesty did his best to cure the illness of the second prince, isn't it precisely so that the eldest prince can have a competitor? In this case, why not watch them fight, and the final victor will be qualified to inherit His Majesty's throne." Bernard said slowly.

It's strange how a minister can talk to the emperor about these things?

"If it weren't for Bernard's refusal to marry again, so that you have no children under your knees, why would I have to let the two princes fight against each other today!"

"As soon as my wife died, I was disheartened, even if there was a beautiful woman, it was impossible to move my mind, so why should I marry again. "Bernard had a hollow look in his eyes, as if he was remembering something.

"You and my ancestors jointly conquered the land of this empire, but there is only one throne. No matter who is the ruler and who is the minister, it is inevitable that future generations will fall against each other because of power. Therefore, it is agreed that Yizi will succeed to the throne. In this way, the fates of our two families are completely tied together, and we will always be the closest brothers......" Nilander also seemed to remember something, and said softly.

In other words, the boys of each generation of the two families will be selected for 'exchange', so that each generation of the emperor who sits on the throne will not replace his real son!

For example, if the ancestors of the Founding Emperor and Bernard belonged to the House of Γ“duras and the House of Khan Bomin, both of whom had sons, then they would give one of their sons to the other from birth, and whoever would be handed over to the House of Odulas would become the heir to the throne, and the real prince would be the head of the House of Berna. When the next generation is held, the son born to the real prince will be replaced back to the royal family and become the heir to the throne. In this way, the 'handover' from generation to generation is replaced......

No one but the parties knew the secret. Therefore, although after hundreds of years, the two families have never had a gap, never fought for power and profit, but because of this secret, they have become closer. Because in the end, basically you have me, and I have you.

Although the children who were replaced from the throne and came to the Khan Boming family would feel a little unfair, they were instilled with the idea of sticking to the family rules since they were replaced, so they would not be unable to figure it out. What's more, the current emperor 'robbed' him of the throne, so he generally respects the contemporary Khan Boming family and is like a brother. What's more, although he can't be the emperor, his son can be on the wheel, so the heads of the Khan Boming family in the past generations can calmly accept this fact.

When it was Bernard's turn, he refused to marry again because Berner was infatuated with his dead wife, so that Berner had no son under his knees. So, Niland's two real sons have a chance to inherit......

This secret succession of Yi Zi has a very complicated cover-up channel, so for hundreds of years, there has never been a mistake.

"At present, His Highness Lei and His Highness Xi are still too immature, ambitious, and do not understand power and scheming...... Your Majesty should teach them well and let them know what the art of the emperor is. So that nothing like this will happen again in the future. It's all a mess to win over a person, are you afraid that others won't know their minds?" Bernard, who was the son of the previous emperor, could certainly judge the two highnesses like this.

"Xi has been sick for a long time, he has just recovered his body, and he doesn't understand anything, so it's okay to come nonsense. Ray is so ignorant...... After all these years, he has learned in vain!"

After a short pause, Nilander sighed again and said, "No matter what the result is...... I don't want their brothers to kill each other. Bernard...... If that day comes, please help me save the life of my other son!"

Although he is an emperor, he is also a father. The two sons competed in order to better choose the heir to the empire, but he also did not want the losing side to become a victim.

"If I hadn't died by then, what would have happened to the two highnesses, I would have to sell the old man a face. Your Majesty, you can rest assured about this matter. Berner promised Neeland.

The two of them were silent for a while, and Nilander suddenly laughed again.

"Your precious 'girl' seems to have a crush on Harry, what are you going to do?" Nilander temporarily put aside his previous troubles, he can still live for decades, this matter, no hurry!

"It's a pity that Harry already has Miss Tang Ling, otherwise, it would be a beautiful thing. Berner shook his head.

"Tang Jingfang's 'daughter'? He is so lucky to have picked up such an excellent 'daughter' son-in-law. Judging from the last time Harry broke into Ravenhold alone, he really had a deep affection for Miss Tang Ling. Niland was also quite emotional.

"Actually, I think Kerr is a 'very' good kid, although he was a little dull and proud before, but after the last blow, he should have grown up. But Lilith didn't seem to have feelings for him. "Berner is also a little helpless about the feelings of his peers.

"When he arrived, he was rumored to have left the capital after the day Harry dueled Tucre...... Isn't there a blow to you? You can't think about it, right?"

"Probably not, I think he must have gone to cultivate alone. He has been known as the number one genius in the imperial capital since he was a child, but he must have been stabbed by Kiru and Harry one after another. ”

"Hopefully he'll be a little more mature when he comes back...... Sooner or later, this empire will become the world of their generation......" Nelander sighed.

The sky is getting bluer.
