Chapter 65: Departure
"Yes, Your Highness the Prince!" The butler saluted the eldest prince and immediately went to the king with his report.
The eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief, Pol handed over the strength of the four and a half legions to the command of the country's War Department, which made a big stone in his heart finally land, this time to take out the governor of the northern territory they arranged, it would be a big victory, Coolford, Coolford, there is really you.
The corners of the eldest prince's mouth hooked up a smug smile, and suddenly as if he thought of something, he suddenly asked the servant next to him, "Hasn't Angela come back yet?" ”
"Princess Angela said that she would bring medicine to Count Colliver, and that she would be back later." The servant bowed and said.
The corners of the eldest prince's mouth began to twitch, he is a man from the past, and he knows very well about the little things about young boys and girls, Angela runs to Clifford so often, if it is said that the two of them are fine, then the ghost doesn't believe it, I heard that Clifford was seriously injured in order to save Angela, it seems that this kid has captured Angela's heart.
Thinking of this, a wave of anger rose in the eldest prince's heart, and he admitted that Clifford had helped him a lot, but wouldn't it be just as whimsical for the son of an outdated earl to marry his own daughter?
For Clifford, he can reward him as much as he wants, and he can add officials to knighthood, but if he wants to marry his best daughter, it is simply wishful thinking. He had already arranged a home for his daughter, the crown prince of the neighboring kingdom of Prussia, and only by marrying him would he be considered a good match, and it would be in the best interest of his own consolidation of power.
No matter how high Clifford's strategy is, in the final analysis, it is only a technology, and it is not worthy of entering the sight of their capitalists. The eldest prince always believed that if he wanted to stand tall in this world of the jungle, he could only be in the company of the strong.
Moreover, now that the second prince has given up fighting for the throne, and most of Pol's military power has been handed over, and the affairs of the governor of the north have also been messed up by him, judging from the current situation, there is no one to challenge his position, that is to say, the conspirator of Clifford is actually useless, just give him some benefits to raise to show that he does not forget the contribution of the hero, there is no need to marry his daughter to him.
The eldest prince still has a high pursuit, that is, to revive the once powerful Rhine Kingdom, and the next road, Clifford's use is not too great, at least there is no role of the crown prince of the Kingdom of Prussia, so he is now very disgusted with Clifford's relationship with his daughter, and he began to think about how to break them up.
"Clifford, Clifford, it's not that I'm stingy, it's that you want too much." The eldest prince slammed his fist on the table and said angrily.
In the Earl's Palace, Angela was carefully feeding Clifford medicine, Clifford was actually almost fine, but he liked this feeling very much, so he deliberately pretended to be very weak, and waited until Angela finished feeding him the medicine and wiped his mouth, then he grabbed her little hand and smiled evilly: "Angela, you are so good." I wonder when I'll marry you? ”
Angela's face flushed, she glanced at him, and said, "According to the laws of the kingdom, a woman can only be engaged at the age of fifteen, and you have to wait at least two years." You will have to work hard with my father for the next two years, and try to gain his admiration and get him to agree to your proposal. ”
Colifors took her hand, smiled bitterly, and said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, Angela." I may not be able to stay in the royal capital anymore, and I have promised my teacher Taylor that I will go to the north to help him. ”
"What?" Angela couldn't believe it, the good king didn't wait, he had to go to the north to do something, a little disappointed, and a little unhappy and said: "Clifford, what are you doing so far?" Is my father not as good as Taylor? ”
After this period of observation, Collie found that the eldest prince was actually a very scheming and tolerant person, otherwise he would not have maintained the throne of the crown prince for so long under the previous suppression of the old king and the attack of the second prince.
Any crown prince, on the one hand, will be speculated, guarded, and even suppressed by the emperor, on the other hand, he will also be attacked by other princes, if he does not have a certain amount of forbearance, he will definitely be blown up by these people's unprovoked thorns, and then do irrational things to be abolished, or suffer mental torture, be dead, or be destroyed to death.
And the eldest prince can remain the crown prince for so long without moving, he must be able to endure what ordinary people can't bear, he doesn't resist the suppression of the old king at all, and he doesn't care about the attacks of his brothers at all, and he has a smiling and welcoming attitude. However, this kind of people are often cold by nature, ruthless, can only share weal and woe, not common prosperity, they are not without temper, but know how to control their temper, whoever provokes them, or who threatens them, they will secretly remember in their hearts, and when the time is ripe, they will kill you at once, and when the time comes, it is useless for you to kneel down and beg for mercy.
A barking dog doesn't bite, that's a wise saying.
This is also the reason why Collie decided to leave the eldest prince, he knows too much, and he is the mastermind of the seizure of power, now that the power of the eldest prince has stabilized, he is no longer needed, in order to calm the anger of the opposition forces, maybe he will be killed to stabilize the situation, so now the king can no longer stay.
Of course, he wouldn't say these words to Angela, it was too hurtful, so he could only touch her head, and said lightly: "I have done so many things for your father, and there are too many people who have offended, and I must leave this place of right and wrong. With that, he pointed to the wound on his body.
Angela looked at the wounds on his body, and she was very unbearable, she knew the current situation of Clifford, but she was still very reluctant, and said quietly: "My father will protect you, you have done so many things for him, he will definitely not let others hurt you." ”
Collie looked at this immature face, and sighed slightly in his heart, your father is afraid that he won't care about me, he is now in power, and he can't use me anymore, smiled bitterly, or comforted her, and said: "He protected me for a while, but he couldn't protect me for a lifetime." I'm always hated here, so it's better to follow the teacher to the North, which seems to others to be degraded, and it will also eliminate their hatred for me, besides, your father is in a critical period now, and I don't want to cause him too much trouble. ”
