Chapter 468: Princes

After the ordination ceremony, the emperor summoned his sons in his palace......

He took off the crown robe he wore when he participated in the ceremony, and only wore the casual clothes of the family, like an ordinary old man, sitting behind the dark wooden desk, looking at the young and strong five sons in front of him, and remembering their appearance during the ceremony.

The sons became a little uneasy under the calm and majestic gaze of the old father.

"Odin, during the time that Grand Duke Stuart is in the imperial capital, he will be your responsibility."

Alabham the Great did not remain silent for long, nor did he intend to make his sons hesitate and calmly command.

"Yes, Father." Odin was not surprised by his task, and replied calmly and briefly.

The old emperor slowly closed his eyes, "As for this group of honorees......"

He fiddled with the old ring on the middle finger of his right hand, and Odin was keenly aware of the action, as the son who had been with the emperor for the longest time, he knew that the action usually meant that his father was considering or hesitating about something.

Then he heard the old emperor say, "Let Byron be in charge of contact." Don't let them be ostracized too much, I need this group of people to be role models for those who come after them. ”

When the words fell, the second prince Byron raised his head, and the green eyes that seemed abrupt among the princes unmistakably showed surprise, while the fourth prince Douglas involuntarily looked at Charles on his side, Charles seemed to know how the others would react, his face was expressionless, but the hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist.

Odin's heart moved slightly, he looked at Byron on his side, and then at Charles, his sword eyebrows slightly raised:

He knew his father's habits, and usually when he said his decision in front of all his sons, it meant that it would not change, not to mention that Byron's ability was not enough to do it well.

So he didn't raise any objections. just patted his second brother and reminded him.

"What, no faith?"

Unable to wait for the second son's answer, the old emperor opened his eyes.

"No, no," Byron hurriedly said, his voice slightly surprised, "It's just this kind of thing, it wasn't always Charles in charge before......"

Charles is a good communicator, and in the past year or two, he has even begun to get involved in diplomacy. The old emperor also relied on Charles in this regard, which was well known to everyone in the imperial capital.

But Byron was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"It's because I'm already familiar with it that I should let Byron practice your hands. I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and have fun for a while. Charles was at ease, smiling and speaking in a sincere tone.

The old emperor did not say anything, as if acquiescing. The slightly cloudy eyes glanced at Charles, as if they could penetrate him, Charles was secretly frightened, and the old emperor had already retracted his gaze and looked at his second son Byron:

"Charles is right, you've been idle for too long. It's time to find something to do. ”

This sentence was rich in content, which made Charles's face stiffen again, and even the most silent and low-key Yorkiedane moved,:. Yu Guang glanced at Byron, and didn't understand why this second brother, who had always been low-key, was suddenly valued by his father.

Of course, Byron knew what his brothers were looking at and thinking, but he was a prince after all, and he did not lack the confidence and pride he should have. When my father said this, he also realized that this was an opportunity. Although it didn't match his original plan, it was still a chance to show his ability, and if he could seek his father's approval, it would certainly be better than getting involved in a dangerous factional struggle.

So he bowed his head and answered:

"Yes, Father, I will do my best to do a good job."

Douglas was surprised by the sudden change in his father's attitude today, looked left and right, and suddenly said loudly: "Father, there are so many honorees in this batch, Byron may not be busy, why don't you let York Yadan assist?" ”

As he spoke, he looked tentatively at the Emperor, ready to be scolded like a storm at any moment.

The protagonist of the yì he mentioned, Yokjadan, was surprised, he knew the little trick of this fourth brother, and he didn't look at each other, and the corners of his mouth even hooked up a sneer.

He is not afraid that this sneer will be seen by his father, anyway, as the most favored son before, even if he is punished and snubbed, he still has this confidence, anyway, his fourth brother is not willing to be lonely and can't be on the stage, he doesn't believe that his father can't see clearly.

It's just that the ranking ability and situation of the five sons are very delicate, and the father and the emperor indulge this son to stir up in it, but although he was punished and neglected, in terms of ability and the support behind him, he is still slightly better than the fourth brother, and it is not the turn of the other party to use him as a shield casually to test the intention and attitude of the father......

The old emperor saw Yokyadan's sneer, as well as the different reactions of the other sons, especially Odin's face that did not fluctuate at all.

He couldn't be more clear about the temperament and character of these five sons.

This old man is very talented, and he thinks he is good at covering it up, but in fact, several brothers can see it clearly, and in terms of brotherly relationship, he is actually the worst of the five sons.

The other four sons, who are either capable and talented, or know how to keep a low profile, even if the relationship is hostile, but they have a good grasp of proportion, especially Odin, who has the most high hopes, in the handling of the matter of Yokjadan, he made a quick decision and hit it with one blow, but he grasped the bottom line of proportion very well, and did not continue to fall into the well after Yokyadan was punished, which made him very satisfied.

So his gaze fell on his eldest son and asked:

"Odin, what do you think?"

Douglas's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head:

His construction was actually interceding for Yokyadan, who was in the punishment period, which undoubtedly offended Odin, but he did not test the emperor's intentions, but the latter threw the problem to Odin and let him decide.

However, the emperor's preference for Odin has long been very obvious, and Odin's ability and prestige do not live up to his expectations, and in the minds of most people in the imperial capital, Odin is the best choice for the next emperor.

Odin was asked without thinking: "Yokjadan is a mage, and he has been to the ice field, so he is indeed a good candidate." ”

"Since you say so, then Yorkiadan will assist Byron."

"Yes, Father."

Byron and Yokjaran replied at the same time, their thoughts unrecognizable on their calm expressions.

……

After the five princes left, the old emperor sat quietly behind his desk.

There was only one person in the study, but a voice came out: "Too many sons are not a good thing." ”

"Too much? I just don't think it's enough. ”

The emperor was not surprised by the abrupt voice, and calmly replied, "If I have enough sons, then I don't have to dare to let them out." Even Archduke Stuart stayed at the front for two years, but fortunately the saint did not show up at the front in the end, otherwise I would have had to release a son even if I were stingy. ”

If one or two more sons die, the number immediately reaches the danger line, especially not every son is suitable for the throne, for example, he had to raise a son outside of Odin just in case, and because of the Byronic blood, he had to skip him. Raise Charles.

If it weren't for his indulgence, Charles would not have been ambitious, because he was actually the most likely prince to inherit the throne after Odin. Even Yorkiatan is slightly inferior, because the latter has not had the opportunity to reveal much in political affairs, unlike Charles who has already officially taken over some government affairs.

The voice also knew the emperor's thoughts, and said, "My Majesty, since the ambition has been cultivated by you. Then you can't just take it back if you want to. ”

The other party saw the previous events from beginning to end, starting with the emperor's move to pull Byron to suppress Charles, and then contacting the previous snub punishment of Yorkiadan, he thought that the emperor was beating his restless son.

"Ambition and ability are the best whetstones, and since they have been cultivated. Why should I take it back? ”

The old emperor said this, but did not need to explain it urgently, and asked the voice instead: "About the little one." Do you see anything? ”

"Just a few sweeps from a distance, what can you see besides being beautiful?"

The voice complained, and then got serious, "She doesn't have magic fluctuations outside her body." The mental power is also scattered, but it doesn't mean anything. At least judging from her mental state, even if she did lose her magic power, there must be a way to recover. "The mental outlook of a person who has truly lost his magic power cannot be so normal.

"It's true that she's a soul wound and has lost her ability to cast spells, and someone has personally examined her condition, but you guessed right, she may have a way to even regain her strength now. But it doesn't matterβ€”"

The emperor paused and said, "What I want to confirm is whether the possibility that Mourinho sent back is true, and there is indeed a legendary powerhouse behind her?" ”

"Yes and what, no and what?"

The voice also became solemn, "Those of us who have never set foot in the legend can't imagine that level, I can only build you, don't try to control a legendary powerhouse - no one has ever been able to do something in history, and you can't succeed!" ”

The old emperor's face changed slightly......

He wondered if his old friend had discovered his deep-hidden intentions, but it was clear that the conversation was no longer fit to continue.

……

At the palace gate.

Charles shook off his squire's service and pedaled up neatly.

The horse walked slowly out of the palace gate, and before he could run, Douglas, who was a few steps behind, caught up with his horse, and the two horses were parallel, and Charles, who was already ready to accelerate, had to pull the reins.

The two men followed them with their guards.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Actually, I wanted to help the fifth brother talk, but I didn't expect that as soon as I said it today, my father raised his hand, it seems that the words of the eldest brother are useful, and I am just making an introduction, and I have been worried for so long. Douglas said with a brother and a brother respectfully.

"The fifth child is young, and it is normal to make mistakes, and half a year of neglect is enough for him to reflect. It was my negligence, I didn't expect to intercede for him earlier, but fortunately you remember. ”

Charles certainly understood what Douglas was saying, but he was very comfortable with such a topic, maintaining his usual image of humility and courtesy in front of everyone, and not changing color under Douglas's provocation.

"Yes, I think my father is actually ready to take this opportunity to let the fifth child reappear, things are not easy to distribute, you can only let Charles you suffer some grievances, fortunately you don't take it to heart,.

It's time for the avenue, Charles, I'm going first! ”

After Douglas finished speaking, he didn't look at Charles's face, lightly pinched the horse's belly, beat the horse and galloped, and the guards behind him hurriedly accelerated to keep up, and the sound of the horse's hooves vibrate.

As soon as Douglas left, the smile on Charles's face suddenly disappeared, and the people who watched Douglas coldly turn the avenue and disappear from his sight.

Charles's captain of the guard followed, glanced at Charles's slightly gloomy face, bowed his head and asked, "Your Highness, where are we going?" ”

"It's so late, except to go home. Where else can I go! ”

Charles whipped over, the captain of the guard was not much, the whip fell on the right arm, the captain of the guard his face remained unchanged, and said calmly: "Miss Heidi just sent someone to deliver a message." ”

Charles was a little angry and didn't lose his temper in the street.

The father didn't need their brothers, friends, and brothers, but he also never wanted their brothers to be on the wall, especially in times of war, when Douglas couldn't even see this clearly, jumping up and down all day long. Do you think that your father is really old and confused?

Charles was annoyed, just because Douglas, a fool, dared to taunt him, did he think that he had lost that task. Is it a sign that his father has begun to suppress him?

In the final analysis, it was the problem of that incident, which was taken away by the second and fifth children, and Charles had no anger in his heart.

With a clamp on the horse's belly, Charles galloped his horse until he reached a fork in a different direction. But instead of going in the direction of his mansion, he chose the opposite direction.

The captain of the guard was not surprised, and waved his hand back, telling most of the people to go back, and only brought the two guards that Charles was used to bringing with him.

Charles's destination is a small estate located just outside the city.

The estate is small and there is a royal hunting ground nearby that is suitable for safaris. Therefore, the nobles of the imperial capital built many villa estates nearby, and this ordinary manor was far away from the hunting ground and located in the middle of nowhere. It is inconspicuous, and the occasional aristocracy on horseback and carriage is also ordinary and unnoticeable.

The manor was originally used for Charles's tryst, and there was not much production, but the decoration layout was quite exquisite. The surrounding walls are covered with dense verdant creepers, making it impossible to see what is going on inside the manor.

Charles had few people with him. There was no one near the manor, and the sound of the four horses running went unnoticed.

There were several servant tenant farmers in the manor, who were originally under the name of Charles, and he often came, and when he saw Charles coming at night, he hurriedly opened the door and let Charles and his guards in.

There is a small villa in the manor hidden among the flowers and trees, the lights in the hall have been extinguished, and only the faint light in the corridor and the second floor is dim and ambiguous.

Charles threw the whip to the servant and drove straight in.

The living room outside the master bedroom on the second floor is empty, and the balcony and windows are lowered with light gauze curtains, which are puffed up by the summer night breeze, romantic and comfortable.

The fragrant candle in the corner of the living room burns, giving off a fragrant and light atmosphere, and the dinner table has already been set up, and it exudes a faint heat, and the arrangement is full of the atmosphere of a lover's tryst.

But Charles somehow, when he came to this golden house tryst, Heidi's beauty and the pleasure of cheating always made him excited very quickly, forgetting the pressure of government affairs and the accumulated anger.

But the arrangement of the place and the beauty that did not appear in the bedroom made Charles lack interest, and he didn't have much sense of expectation, even if he vaguely heard the faint sound of water in the half-hidden bedroom, he only moved slightly, and Qisi disappeared.

Feeling hungry, Charles simply sat down to eat, and when the beauty in the bath appeared in a yukata, he had almost finished the dinner on the table, and sipped his lips with a glass of red wine, and wiped his lips with a napkin.

A burst of aroma hit, and suddenly his shoulders sank slightly, and a pair of slender and white arms encircled Charles's neck from behind, and the soft female voice whispered:

"Your Highness, you didn't wait for anyone, people have been preparing for a long time!"

Heidi sent a message, of course, someone would have informed him in advance of his coming, otherwise the temperature of the food would not have been just right for her throat, and the beauty would not have happened to bathe in the bathroom.

In the past, Charles didn't mind playing this little mood with Heidi, after all, Heidi was already one of the few beauties in the imperial capital, and she was still a virgin when she got it.

In the past, he had always been very fond of this beautiful forbidden body, and he did not hesitate to meet various requests such as money and jewelry.

But when there is a comparison, it shows the superiority......

Thinking of the beautiful girl with black hair and black eyes, and the indescribable face faintly appearing in front of him, Charles tightened his breath, raised his head and pushed away the snow arm on his shoulder, stood up and shouted, "Love! ”

The door opened, and the captain of the guard named Love turned a blind eye to the beautiful woman in a thin silk dressing gown, and bowed his head slightly for Charles's orders.

"Inquire about the movements of the second and fifth children, if they have no news after the celebration in the past few days, they will let out the news, and I will hold an autumn festival dance party after the celebration."

Love was stunned. The Merlin Ball was not as prevalent as Perret and the Holy Empire, and was usually a social arena for young people, and even during the annual New Year's court ball, the older generation of nobles would leave early and not participate in the later balls.

And the autumn festival ball that Charles said was undoubtedly specially held for young people, and with the social circle and connections of His Royal Highness Charles, this is undoubtedly a grand gathering that all the young generations in the imperial capital expect to be invited.

If he knew that it was not Charles who was in charge of the recipients, but the second prince Byron and the fifth prince Jokjadan, then I am afraid that he would think more.

But he didn't know. So he calmly accepted the order, Charles waved him back, and Love closed the door.

"Autumn Festival Ball? Is it for those who have received honors? A delicate voice sounded beside her. Approaching Charles with a delicate body with a fragrant body, the snow arm climbed up to Charles's right arm.

Charles's smile faded a little, and he didn't answer, turned around and gently raised his arms to wrap around the beauty's thin waist, caressing the smooth waist through the light silk skirt.

The beauty dodged for a while. Wanting to refuse and throwing a wink, Charles smiled lightly, his body finally became slightly excited, and he wanted to take the beauty into his arms with his hand, but the beauty twisted her waist and avoided his hand.

"What's wrong. Is it because you don't have enough money to spend, or are you not satisfied with the necklace you sent last time? I'll ask Love to bring you another ......."

Charles was not in a hurry to get things done, and coaxed without hurrying or slow.

Heidi pursed her lips slightly. Gave him a blank look.

She is petite, with large wavy dark brown hair, clear and charming green eyes, a bright and delicate beauty in front of people, but a delicate baby who knows and tastes in private. Since becoming Charles's lover at the age of fifteen. Heidi had been with him for nearly three years, the longest by Charles' side. knows his temperament well, and knows that Charles has a certain tolerance for himself, even if he occasionally takes Joe, as long as it does not exceed Charles's bottom line, Charles will generally connive.

"Autumn Festival Dance, people want to go to ...... too"

Charles's eyes flashed with surprise, hugged the beauty, and said quietly:

"What's wrong, sweetheart? It's the first time I've seen you take the initiative to go to my prom! ”

Heidi became his lover, and many people in the imperial capital also knew that Heidi was still not married, and usually avoided appearing on that occasion, so as not to spread their relationship by more people,:.

What's more, since it was a ball hosted by him, his wife would definitely appear, and Heidi had always avoided meeting her, after all, the difference in origin was too great.

Heidi twisted slightly in annoyance, "I knew that when you saw the black-haired beauty among the honorees, your heart was no longer with me!" She didn't twist the man's arm, but only used this action to express her dissatisfaction and test the man's heart.

"Brunette?"

Charles's flawless face immediately appeared in front of him, faintly coinciding with Heidi's dark brown and almost black hair in front of him, his arms suddenly tightened, his waist was lifted, and he kneaded a towering side vigorously through his clothes, his breath became a little rapid, but his mouth was still asking:

"Didn't you go to the ceremony? How do you know her? ”

Heidi could naturally detect the changes in Charles, and the suspicions in her heart were confirmed, and she couldn't help but feel jealous, but she didn't show it, her body was inevitably a little stiff, but she couldn't resist Charles, who was getting more and more excited, and could only say intermittently:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It has long been spread all over the world, and the Marquis of Hemer's family, Young Master Yelia, was ...... because he was greedy for a black-haired beauty Twenty sticks, and clamoring to find that peerless beauty! It is said that they also made a gambling contract......"

Heidi intermittently told the bet of the group of noble children, and while listening to Charles, his body gradually became excited, and he kissed the delicate neck of the beauty with heavy breathing, and laughed lowly:

"Oh? So funny? …… Looks like I can join in the fun......"

The fragrance was intense, and the drunken ones gradually became a little drunk, and Heidi was still two points similar, and Charles was already fully excited by the fantasy in his heart.

The big hand stroked the thick curly hair, Charles suddenly pressed Heidi down, made her kneel in front of him, grabbed two handfuls of the almost dark long hair with his big hand, released the already erect male with one hand, violently pressed the back of the head, pinched the beauty's jaw, and stepped forward to insert the warm mouth without saying anything!

"Uh......"

Heidi was rarely forced like this, and there was a struggle between the movements, but it made Charles even more excited!

Looking at the black head that was soothed between his legs, his lower body was stabbed again and again, and he only felt unprecedented pleasure, and it didn't take long for it to erupt.

But his ** still hasn't completely subsided, just released, looking at the long hair stained with white liquid, the lower body hardened again, so he picked up his lover and strode into the bedroom.

This night, the coquettish groaning in the bedroom on the second floor of the villa lasted for a long time.
