Chapter 490: The Sick and the Healed
When Elizabeth arrived at the dining room, she saw Charles sitting at the table waiting for her, and dinner was already on the table, under the iron lid to keep warm.
She poked her head as she passed by Charles and asked, "Why haven't you eaten yet?"
Charles said, "I'm waiting for my sister to come back." β
After Elizabeth took her seat, the attendant removed the lid from the dinner, and the fragrant dishes appeared in front of the two of them.
Dinner for two was not extravagant, with a chicken steak and drumsticks of crispy golden chicken, two hard-boiled eggs, a plate of tomato sauce noodles and a bowl of vegetable soup per person.
The Golden-skinned Chicken is an endemic monster of the South, and its feathers are about the same color as regular chickens, but its skin is golden. When the chicken is cooked with the skin on, the golden skin turns yellow and crispy, and the chicken is very tender and juicy. If you use an old hen to make soup, the soup will glow golden.
Of course, as a magical beast, the golden-skinned chicken still has a lot of combat effectiveness, after all, the adult male golden-skinned chicken stands up to one meter two, weighs nearly ten kilograms, and ordinary people will see the meat after being pecked at the wound.
At the same time, their eggshells are also golden and golden, very hard, and the locals often use them as the eggs of rare magical beasts to deceive northerners and traversers.
However, the handicrafts carved from this eggshell are quite popular, and Charles's father used to bring back a few, in addition to Charles and Mira, he also gave two to the neighbor's fat girl Cynthia, saying that it was the egg of some kind of mysterious monster, which made the fat girl stunned.
Elves like to marinate chicken breasts and thighs in juice for half a day and then fry them in a pan for a fruity taste.
The attendant took the lid away and walked out of the dining room, Charles, they weren't the kind of lords who needed to be served.
Charles said while eating a boiled egg, "Sister, I want to ask you something." β
"What's the matter?" said Elizabeth, who was slicing the chicken cutlets.
Charles asked, "What is the story behind that Jenny was called away by the Temple of the Sea at this time?"
"See?" Elizabeth was slightly surprised by Charles's acuity, "This is not his own doing, he teased the investigators of the Ocean Temple, and the Ocean Temple naturally wants to clean him up." β
Charles nodded thoughtfully.
Then Elizabeth said to Charles: "I just received two pieces of news from the north, both of which are related to you, you have to be mentally prepared. β
Charles, who was nibbling on the drumsticks, was stunned for a moment, then put the drumsticks back on the plate.
Elizabeth said, "Remember when Linda was going to choose you as her fiancΓ© at her birthday party this year?"
Charles blinked and said, "Is this predetermined?"
Elizabeth continued: "The other day Linda suddenly fell ill and fell ill and was in a coma for three whole days. β
Charles looked at Elizabeth dumbfounded, he really hadn't expected it.
In the past, he would greet and chat with Linda when he met with everyone in the dream platform, but in recent months, he has been studying the courses of the Royal Military Academy in the dream platform on Rurik's side, and basically doesn't go to group with everyone, so he doesn't know Linda's situation.
"She's tired. Elizabeth said, "The 'Wool Queen' is not so easy to be a little girl, she is a little girl who is under a lot of pressure, and she is tired after she can't stand it mentally and physically. β
Charles sighed and asked, "So what do the big guys think?"
In the original agreement signed between the Kingdom of Bischberg and the Duke of Redkin, the marriage between Linda and the Duke of Redkin was an extremely important part. In this world, blood ties are one of the strongest bonds.
It was only later that this incident slowly fermented into a key part of the "Maccaden Economic Circle", which made this matter more and more important, so that Charles had to bow his head to it.
Elizabeth looked at Charles and said, "They're all waiting for your expression." β
The corners of Charles's mouth twitched a few times, if he behaved properly, he wouldn't need Linda to choose a husband at the birthday party a few months later, it was all settled.
"Alas......" Charles sighed, "that little girl is not easy to ......"
Elizabeth, who was eating chicken cutlets, glanced at Charles and said, "She's three years older than you." β
Charles shook his head, he, who was still middle-aged at heart, had always regarded Linda as a child, and said: "I have been doing this for a long time with my comrades-in-arms, and those hundred-year-old children, I thought I was a hundred years old. β
"Just bring her here in my name to recuperate, in the same sanatorium where Diana stayed last time. β
Elizabeth nodded and said, "I'll help you get the news over after dinner." β
Charles nodded.
Then Elizabeth said, "The second piece of news is the king of the kingdom of Rebach...... What's his name......
"Forget it, it's your grandfather who gets up every morning and asks if he's dead, he's been seriously ill before, but he's been cured recently, and he's still in good spirits. β
Charles only frowned, and then asked, "Could it be that he has returned to the light, or has taken a life-overdrawing potion, used forbidden magic or something?"
"Not really. Elizabeth said, "It was a young girl named Lena who was rescued by Louis, the crown prince of Raybach a few years ago, and it was she who had secretly cured the king in the past two years. β
Charles said while eating tomato sauce noodles: "This is interesting, my grandfather is probably angry." β
Although this matter has something to do with Charles, he can't help with it.
Although he had a relationship with Ricgoletto, the butler of the Dauphin Louis, it was also for the purpose of attracting investment and promoting the peace mall built between the east side of Greentown and the station, and neither of them was involved in political topics.
The first phase of Charles' Peace Mall began at the beginning of this year and is expected to open the year after, and now Rigoletto and Charles's hired time-traveler Adonis is advertising for Charles all over the world.
Rigoletto was north of the river and Adonis was to the south, and they visited the nobles and merchants from house to house, telling the wealthy lords about the bright prospects of the Peace Mall, and then suggesting that they attend the opening ceremony two years later.
According to Charles's plan, after the first phase of the project is completed and opened, when its effects are visible, the second phase and subsequent installments of shares and bonds can be sold.
In terms of construction progress, he is not worried, he can trust the construction team from the Rurik Kingdom, one year of civil construction, one year of installation, and two years of construction is enough.
The dinner ended in small talk, and Elizabeth took Charles to her study.
