Chapter 49: Choice

"Drive!" Alan didn't speak, and he could already sense the seriousness of the matter from his master's expression alone, for he had never seen him so anxious since he had followed Collifford, and without saying a word, he drove the carriage to the Earl of Clifford's palace.

"The hosts. You really scared the hell out of me. Arya covered her chest with her right hand, trying her best to suppress the pounding heart, and said with a look of horror.

Clifford smiled slightly, hugged her little waist, and said, "Don't say it's you, I was frightened just now." However, I think there should be nothing to do now, the second prince is not a fool, he can figure it out with a little brain, and the path I pointed out to him is definitely the only way for him now. He may not thank me without the throne he coveted, but he will never kill me. ”

"Master." Arya smiled sweetly, leaned her head slightly on Clifford's shoulder, she had heard a lot of rumors before, saying that her master had changed and became very wise and martial, but in the end, hearing was false, seeing was believing, today she saw her master talking about the general trend of the world, talking about the Tao, plus his unearthly poetry, it is simply a god-like existence. Alia's heart burst in an instant, and she admired her master to the point of no return, and smiled sweetly: "Master." What a wonderful thing you have done today, I heard that Lincoln, the chief strategist of the Doge of Pol, was the smartest man in the kingdom, but it seems to me that he is not even a tenth of yours. It is an honor for Arya to follow you. ”

Cleford, who has experienced two lives, knows that what she said is true, and his heart is not only full of emotion, but in fact, he does not have a gritted hatred for a woman like Alia, because he knows that most people in this world are like this, when you don't have the strength, you don't care about you at all, and when you get up, I can't wait to kneel and lick you, Arya is just a mortal, he can't ask everyone to be like Sophia, and his heart for him is never over.

Since you are powerful to me, then I will not pay real feelings to you, just keep you as a pet for a lifetime, play with it for a lifetime, well, fortunately, you are a good girl, hugged her small waist a little tighter, leaned into her ear and said softly: "Go to my room tonight to serve, dress up beautifully." ”

Arya first flashed a trace of surprise in her heart, because she knew that according to the rules, Liana should be sleeping tonight, but Bing Xue was smart and she would definitely not point out this sentence, in her opinion, this was the master's special favor for her, and she won the fox girl again, she felt wonderful in her heart, her face was slightly red, and she said shyly: "Yes, my master." ”

What she didn't know was that Clifford had a new arrangement for her, because according to the current situation, the second prince would most likely do as he said, and his teacher Taylor would naturally serve as the governor of the north, and he would show his strength in the three counties of the north, and Arya's role was no longer obvious.

Sure enough, the next day, the second prince, who had already figured it out, took the initiative to find the king to express his support for the new policy, and hinted that the king himself wanted to get the position of cabinet minister. The old king Frederick VII was naturally full of joy, and immediately patted his chest and said: "As long as you work hard from now on, the post of prime minister of the cabinet will be yours." ”

For a father, there is nothing happier than seeing his children in the same boat and defending the family business together. The old king, Frederick VII, was overjoyed, and when he returned to the harem, he vigorously expressed his excitement to the mother of the second prince.

The Great Prince's Palace. The eldest prince happily drank three glasses of wine in a row, but he was still not satisfied, and laughed and said, "Gates, do you want to tell me if this Clifford was sent by God to help me?" He really made the second prince give up the idea of competing for the throne and began to support the new policy, so wouldn't your work be better? ”

Gates was also very happy, crossed Erlang's legs, held a glass of wine in his hand, shook it a few times, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, I am also very curious about this Clifford, he is really too smart." It is said that after he attended a dance party held by the second prince, he made the second prince change his mind. ”

"Oh. It looks like we're going to have another ball too, the first is to celebrate, the second is to give the officials time to get back on their feet, and the third is to ask Clifford if there are any other good ideas. The eldest prince stood up, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said very casually.

"That's a really good idea." Gates also hurriedly stood up, stretched out his arms, and joked with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, I think you should prepare more wine and food, there must be more people to participate this time than last time." ”

"Hahaha." The eldest prince laughed loudly, the laughter was so pure and proud, after so many years, he finally wanted to earn back his own power, how could he not be broad-minded, and said to his butler: "You go to arrange this matter, Clifford, you have to go and invite it yourself." ”

"Yes, Your Royal Highness the Great Prince, the old slave will not let you down." The butler saluted the eldest prince, then slowly retreated.

In the middle of the night, Clifford pushed Arya, who was lying naked beside him, and saw that she was already asleep, so he put on a dress and walked out of the door.

Today's moon is far away, presumably according to the lunar calendar is the fifteenth and sixteenth day, Clifford had no intention of admiring the moon, came to the door of Sophia's room and knocked lightly, and said, "Sophia, it's me." Open the door. ”

The door was opened with a "squeak", but it was Polina who opened the door, Collie didn't say a word, he raised his legs and stepped in, and when he was in his room at night, Sophia didn't need to deliberately hide it, and removed the mask of human skin on her face and the camouflage on her waist, and the whole person was suddenly beautiful, as if the son of heaven descended to earth.

Clifford couldn't help but look a little stupid, and said with a smile: "Sophia, you are so beautiful." Don't worry, it won't be long before you can be dressed like this forever, and you don't have to be ugly. ”

"Thank you, my master." Sophia smiled and said in a voice like a silver bell: "Sophia waits for that day, and then I can be with my master in the open." When the word "together" was spoken, Sophia's pretty face blushed for a while, and she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she subconsciously lowered her head.

Polina is a person who has come over, so she naturally knows Miss Sophia's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "Master, Miss Sophia." There is a saying that good things are more tribulations, and the more tribulations you go through, the longer your happiness will last, and Polina blesses you. However, now is not the time to talk about the personal affairs of our children, so I will go and call everyone here, and let's discuss what to do next. ”

Except for Polina, Clifford's current henchmen are all men, and it is inconvenient to come to Sophia's room at night, so they are on standby in a room together, waiting for Polina's summons.

Polina stuck her head out, looked around, and made sure that no one was there, before quietly going out, closing the door by the way.

"Sophia, you've been suffering these days." Clifford couldn't take it anymore, walked up to Sophia, grabbed her little hands like shallots, and said softly.

"No, little master." Sophia shook her head, smiled slightly, and said willingly: "Little master, you don't understand. Sophia does everything for you willingly and doesn't feel suffering. ”

"Sophia." Coolford's heart warmed, he took her in his arms, and said gently: "Please believe me, this kind of day is about to pass, and the day of our emergence is coming." ”

As she spoke, Polina knocked on the door, and Colliver hurriedly let go of Sophia, both of whom had embarrassed expressions on their faces.

The four core members, including Elkeson, all came back, they were all from the past, and they all knew Sophia's feelings for Clifford, and it was not surprising to see this scene, they looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

"Everyone is here, please take a seat." Clifford coughed dryly, broke the embarrassing situation with one sentence, and said, "Now the situation in the entire Rhine Kingdom is undergoing great changes, but on the whole, it is still developing in a direction that is favorable to us. I brought everyone together this time to discuss, what should we do next? ”

Yasan, the eldest here, was the first to speak, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to the master's strategy through heaven and earth, we are now the target of all forces in the city. However, according to the current situation, there are only two paths before us, the first is to stay in Vienna and attach ourselves to the eldest prince, and the second is to follow the master's teacher Taylor to the north and develop the land there. My personal opinion is that it is better to rely on the eldest prince, after all, judging from the current situation, there is no suspense about him inheriting the throne, and it is most advantageous for us to follow him. ”

"Yes, I also agree with Yasan's point of view, what's more, we have been operating in Vienna for many years, and we are very familiar with the situation here, as for the north, it was too desolate before, and the old Earl Clifford had not invested there at all, we did not have any foundation there, and we were not very familiar with the situation over there. To go there rashly is to start from scratch, which is too costly and too risky. Elkeson, who had disappeared for a few days, said slowly. He and Yasan are both relatively old, and they belong to the conservative faction of the old Chengmou country, and advocate staying in the royal capital to follow the eldest prince, because from the current situation, it is more advantageous to stay in the royal capital.
