"What are you talking about, smiling so happily?" said the eldest prince, Winston, who was sitting in the second seat, seeing that his sister was in high spirits tonight.

Sophia laughed, "He said he was nervous because of the jealous gaze everywhere and he felt that he had become a public enemy. ”

Sure enough, Winston laughed too: "That's for sure, if you want to sit next to our beautiful Sophia, you have to be prepared for this." ”

Philip was not afraid of stage fright, he held his chest and said: "It is my honour and I will defend it with my results on the field." ”

Winston was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "I heard that your grades in cultural classes are also very good, have you ever thought about becoming a civil servant in the future?"

There are many excellent soldiers in the empire, but there is a lack of more excellent officials. ”

The second emperor, Osborne, had been listening to their conversation, and when he heard this, he turned his head and looked at Philip's answer with a smile.

This question is really difficult to answer, Philip is a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that this great emperor grandson would really notice him, and he had nothing to do to investigate his results.

He put down his knife and fork and said slowly, "I also thought about what I would do in the future.

Human life is long, and even more so for us Warders, it is so long that it is difficult to stick to the same thing from the beginning.

I'm only 15 years old, so I always have a lot of ideas coming to my head.

Some of them are naïve, some are ambitious, and some of them seem to be close at hand.

I love to practice martial arts, temper myself in the scorching sun, in the ice and snow, and the thrill of breaking through the limit every time I am deeply fascinated.

Therefore, I want to be a general like my grandfather, leading the Iron Warrior, fighting bloody battles to defend my family and country.

Even like my ancestors, I went into the grasslands and spread my prestige, so that when the wolves heard my name, they were terrified and retreated for hundreds of miles.

I love to sing, and I have formed my own band for this, and I like to be on stage and enjoy the countless people cheering for me, crazy for me, and I feel like I can do anything at that moment.

So, I fantasized about being a great artist like Myron and having my songs spread all over the continent.

I also love the sea.

Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, when I close my eyes, I can always hear the sound of the waves calling in my ears and the smell of the sea in my nose.

So, I wanted to be a captain and lead my sailors to sail the seas, fight the winds, dance on the crests of the waves, and conquer the deep blue.

In short, I have a lot of dreams.

Become a lord and manage a city.

Or become a councillor and spend your days thinking about the prosperity of the empire.

It's all possible, but I haven't decided how to choose.

As I said before, I'm only 15 years old.

My grandmother once told me that dreams are precious and should not be dismissed hastily.

Fortunately, I have a decent family, so I don't have to compromise under the weight of life, run around for firewood, rice, oil and salt, and let these precious treasures slip away from me.

I believe that my family will support me and try everything.

Wait until one day, maybe five years, maybe ten years, maybe longer.

When I have a broader vision, richer life experience, and a more mature mentality, I can decide what kind of person I should become in this life and what I should do seriously. ”

The young man's impassioned dream made everyone present put down the tableware in their hands and applauded gently, attracting curious eyes from the surroundings.

Even the Emperor Sun Winston did not blame Philip for playing on the topic, but kindly affirmed his dream and changed the subject.

And the second emperor Sun Osborne regained that calm appearance, no longer paying attention to this side, and didn't ask a word about the school rules that had been punished, as if he had forgotten about that matter.

Finally passed the level, Philip wiped a cold sweat, secretly sighed that his nonsense skills had increased, and began to eat in a low-key manner.

didn't notice that the little princess on the other side never picked up the fork in her hand again, but just looked at Philip with beautiful eyes.

So, at the dining table where the royal nobles were located, a strange scene occurred.

A handsome teenager was eating quickly but elegantly, while another beautiful girl watched him with relish until the end of the dinner.

Only an equally handsome blonde teenager hidden in the crowd looked at his back and secretly clenched his fists.

Sophia's gaze Philip certainly noticed, but he could only pretend not to see it, he didn't believe that a flicker could attract a royal princess.

Good feelings, maybe there is, after all, he is really handsome, but it can only be a good feeling.

At the same time, he also noticed that in addition to Crown Prince Gulliver on the throne, Sophia seemed to be closer to the Great Emperor Sun Winston, but to Osborn, who was more of a similar age, decent but slightly cold.

Winston is indeed kind and kind, especially to those civil officials, he will always greet them with a smile and care.

Osborne has always maintained his iron-blooded temperament, and his cold appearance is deeply admired by some military academy boys.

In any case, none of this has anything to do with him, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with it.

With his current status, even if he adds the Wild Lion family behind him, he is not qualified to participate for the time being.

After dinner, Philip danced with Sophia as his male companion, even if he had completed the night's mission.

As he was about to return to his group, Sophia grabbed him by the arm and said, "Come with me to the garden." ”

"It's a great honor. Philip was stunned for a moment, but he still readily agreed, abducting the princess of the empire in front of a group of hairy boys with green eyes, he couldn't refuse such a thing.

It was a little cold, so Philip took off his coat and put it on the girl's body, and the two of them strolled through the royal gardens in the hazy night.

After walking for a while, Sophia didn't speak, and Philip didn't ask, just stayed silent.

It wasn't until they were in a small pavilion in the leeward that the two stopped, and there was no one around, only the rustle of leaves in the breeze.

Or Sophia opened her mouth first: "Why did you escape the invitation of the eldest brother?"

Philip shrugged and replied, "I don't think it's an invitation, at least not for me now." ”

"Don't you want the glory of the Snape family to shine a little brighter?" asked Sophia.

There was still no expression on Philip's face: "The border military city, the glory of the Iron Blood Family, will always come from the battlefield, from the watering of blood and fire."

Instead of going into this melting pot, being smelted, torn apart, and corroded.

Besides, I didn't quite understand it. ”

"Don't understand what?"

"We only met for the second time, or even the first time we talked.

While I do feel very familiar from you, and I don't have that condescending flavor, it doesn't seem to be supposed to be so approachable.

Is it really okay for us to hide in this dark corner and talk about these things in a shallow and deep way?"

"Am I not beautiful?" Sophia cocked the corners of her mouth and glanced at Philip with her pretty eyes, answering the question.

"Of course, at least of all the beauties I've ever seen, you're the most outstanding.

I'm not just talking about looks, but about this nobility in you from the inside out, after all, not everyone is a princess of the empire. Philip affirmed.

"What's the use of that? Sooner or later, you will have to marry into a distant country, and it will be difficult for you to return to this land for the rest of your life.

For you, this is the imperial capital and a symbol of imperial power.

But for me, it's my home, it's also a cage. Sophia didn't look at Philip again, staring blankly at the leaves outside the pavilion, her eyes gloomy.

Fairies, Philip slandered, and the little grade routines were one after another.

He sighed and persuaded: "You are only 16 years old, and this issue will not be considered for at least ten years." Halfway through that, Philip stopped.

Because he realized that the rhetoric was not convincing, it was more perfunctory.

Although he was originally perfunctory, it was still too obvious to say so.

Sophia didn't care, and said to herself: "The Royal Academy is just a microcosm of the entire imperial capital.

People who live in this city seem to have long been accustomed to everything here.

Fair, unfair, reasonable, unreasonable.

In their eyes, the royal family is just a symbol that is getting farther and farther away, and the princess's flower crown is far more important than herself.

They only care about their own lives, food, clothing, housing and transportation, but they never realize that behind their seemingly better and richer lives, some things are quietly changing.

No one expected the rapid degeneration of the Royal Academy, even my father was only worried, but there was no better way to solve it.

Just like it can't solve the other problems that exist in the Empire.

There is always wishful thinking that this is only temporary, and that as long as the figures of the Empire's taxes continue to grow violently, there will be no problems.

The equipment of the Fortified Legion is getting better and better, but there are fewer and fewer young people who are willing to join the army, especially the young people of the Xungui family.

No one is willing to break all this, to restore things to the way they should be, and they are only willing to tinker in the corners and corners, and even the action of repairing is cautious and timid.

Don't they know that covering those rotten abscesses with a beautiful epidermis will only make them deeper and more hidden?"

Philip rolled his eyes, what does it matter to him whether the imperial capital is good or bad, Sophia's emotion seems to be in the wrong place.

He advised, "Why don't you have a good talk with your father, or your brother, I notice that you are very close to His Highness Winston." ”

Sophia smiled gloomily: "The eldest brother admires his father very much, he always imitates everything about his father, dresses, speaks, hobbies, and even his personality is very similar to his father."

Sometimes I wonder if the other side of Sven's affinity is cowardice and timidity.

As for my second emperor brother, don't mention it. ”
