Chapter 13: Rain of Roses
The international regular ship Calabria moved at a steady pace above the clouds, and Osborne and Rector stood on deck, oblivious to the bitter wind.
"Prince Olibat, hehe, good results." Osborne still looks like he has everything in his chest, as if he has everything under control, "No matter what he does, he can make good use of it." β
"Because for you, all the factors are 'pawns.'" Rector replied nonchalantly, "The prince, me, and the Snake of Body-Eater." β
"Yes, even myself." Osborne nodded as a matter of course, "Using the huge chessboard of the empire as a stage, aren't you following me because you want to see it?" β
"I don't deny that." Rector put on a terrible expression, "But this chess piece doesn't know when it will betray you?" β
"That's okay too." Osborne's smile remained the same, "Do you think I didn't think about this feeling possibility?" β
"Hmph, I'm just talking." Rechett shrugged, "Then again, what happened to the rest of Kids?" β
"Hehe, no matter which child it is, it seems to be going well. If this continues, the prince's efforts may be in vain. I really can't help it, do you want to show mercy a little? β
"Ahem, what a bad uncle." Rector sighed helplessly.
Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, turned to look at the stern, and said with a smile: "I said, Prime Minister, it's better for you not to despise him too much."
"What?" Osborne doesn't know why.
As if echoing his words, the clouds in the distance splashed under the tremendous impact, and "El Saiyu" broke through the clouds, parallel to "Calabria".
On the white-winged deck stood two men in the same place, the former with fluttering blonde hair dazzling, the latter with a stern and meticulous face, who was it not Olivier and Mura?
Olivier smiled at the surprised gaze from the other side, took out a red bouquet, and threw it into the air. Then he pulled out his guide gun, hit accurately, and the petals scattered in all directions, spilling on the deck of the Calabria, on Osborne and Recht.
"This is," Osborne frowned.
"It's like a rose petal." Rector picked up a petal from his clothes and sniffed it on the tip of his nose.
At this time, the voice of the flight attendant was heard over the loudspeaker.
"Ladies and gentlemen, on starboard is the well-known Liber Royal High-Speed Cruiser El Saiyu. Today, His Royal Highness Prince Olibat, of the Erebonian Empire, is traveling to the imperial capital on this ship. His Royal Highness the Prince has a message to the passengersβ"
"Thank you, Goddess, for bringing us together today. I would like to extend my best wishes to all of you on your journey with beautiful roses and the blessings of the goddess, and I hope that you will return to your homeland carefully and carefully. β
"Above."
Put away the gun, Olivier still made his classic pose, and "Elsey" faded away.
Osborne and Rector looked at each other speechless.
"Idiots, there are idiots who are even more idiots than me" It wasn't until "El Saiyu" completely disappeared from view that Rector came back to his senses and muttered to himself.
"Hahahahaha!" Osborne's laughter grew louder and louder, and there was a fire burning in his eyes, the kind of dark and crazy gaze that was happy to see the hunting, "How far can you devour my Iron and Blood Prime Minister, let me see your methods!" β
Rian, my son, since you have chosen to follow Prince Olibat, let your talents be unleashed, and I look forward to the day when you will stand taller than me and make the whole continent look up.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
While Osborne was excited about his opponent and prayed for his child, his son was scolding his opponent.
"Okua, are you really a fool? What are you doing with all this kind of work? Afraid that the opponent will not know your ability and deliberately show off? RIEN SLAPPED OLIVIER ON THE SHOULDER, THAT IS, HE NOW HAS A WEAK DEBUFF, OTHERWISE HE WOULD DEFINITELY SLAP AUGUA DIRECTLY TO THE GROUND.
"Oh, yes, don't say that, my idea is still very good, I've wanted to come here for a long time." Olivier didn't bother at all to reflect on it.
"That idea is really good, and Rose Rain is really handsome. No, that's not the point. Lane slapped Ogua on the shoulder again, "The point is, what did Brother Mura and I tell you before?" To show weakness, to pretend to be a grandson, it is better to let the prime minister despise you, so that you will have more room to play, all these have you forgotten? β
"It hurts, it hurts! It hurts, Riene. Ogua grinned.
"Well deserved." Mura raised her eyelids, half a word of comfort was missing, "Do you know how many variables your impromptu intentions have added to the plan?" β
"My dear friend, are you going to abandon me too?" Olivier hid his face and sobbed (pretended), "Okay, okay, you can live happily with Dawn, let me sleep alone, and be hurt alone." β
"+" Lai En's forehead was bruised.
"++" Mura's face turned pale.
"+++" Yulia, why are you too? Hmph, Mula, you've done a great job.
"Call me!" As soon as Mura gave the order, he himself rushed forward first. Not to be outdone, Lane punched and kicked. Yulia, who was angry, also secretly gave a few black feet.
"Don't, don't fight." Olivier held his head in his hands, "Wait a minute, we're going to show up in public, I can't smash my debut." β
"That's right." Li En's mouth was unforgiving, but his hand stopped, "Didn't you always want to run naked?" Just a chance for you. Let the people of the entire imperial capital see how the so-called 'debauched prince' is really debauched. β
"You still know me." Seeing that the crowd was no longer beating him, Olivier dusted off his clothes and got up from the ground, "But forget it this time, my sister will come to pick me up, and she will see that I haven't had a good life for at least three months." β
"His Highness Elfin?" The scene that came to Lee's mind was that of the one who was holding a fan comparable to a thousand birds to teach a loyal dog a lesson, and slapped Ougua fiercely, which was really emotional!
"I'll tell you." Olivier grabbed Ryan by the shoulder, "Elfin is the treasure of our empire, and she's always wanted to meet you. β
"See me?" Li En was confused, "Even if the Shu Huaze family has a lot of connections with the royal family, Your Highness shouldn't have heard of my name." β
"Hey, hey." Olivier smiled treacherously, "Of course I said it, the other day I was talking to Cedric about knights, and Elphine said she wanted a knight, so I recommended you." You're good at everything, just a little bit worse than me. β
"Knight?" Li En didn't have the heart to complain about Augua's narcissism, because the figure of the white dress and purple hair appeared in front of his eyes again, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Once upon a time, he also said that he wanted to be her knight, and she blushed and said yes. Only, now, the knight and his princess are separated
"I think you should think about this proposal." As Dawn wandered, Mura spoke, "The royal family has always had this tradition, whether it is a playmate or a cronie, such as Your Majesty and your father, Olivier and me. With the relationship between the Shu Huaze family and the royal family, the chances of you becoming a knight of His Royal Highness Elfin are very high. β
"Brother Mura should know my origins, what will an adopted son of unknown origin say when he appears next to the princess who is known as the treasure of the empire?" Whether Li En cares about his origin or not, he can't get rid of the embarrassing identity of the aristocratic world.
"That's not a problem." Olivier waved his hand, "Anyway, you want to build momentum, so you can simply build your own momentum together, and the hero of the removal of Liber's mutation can shut up all the nobles who oppose it." β
"What if someone questions my strength?" Li En looked at his hands, "The strength I can play now is less than half of what I usually do, not to mention the trump card of Brother Mula, even Estiel, I can't beat it." β
"When will your strength be restored?" Olivier asked.
"I don't know." Li En shook his head, "Although there are signs of recovery, I don't know when I will be able to fully recover." β
The meeting with Osborne in the morning brought him unexpected benefits.
The resonance of blood thicker than water gradually activated the yin qi in his body. It's like after the middle of winter, the first sprouts break through the ground.
The sprouts are still very immature, but they are a harbinger of the return of spring to the earth.
Thank you, my father. Although I can't shout those two words now, one day, I wish I could call you that.
