Chapter Forty-Eight: Can't Leave

"Oh?" The second prince suddenly became interested, his body couldn't help but sit straighter, leaned forward slightly, he was happy not that he had a way to go, but that this road was left for him by his father, which showed that his father still loved him, enough to make him happy, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what road did my father leave me?" ”

Clifford smiled slightly, sprinkled a circle of people sitting at the entire dinner table, when his eyes swept over Eva, he saw that the other party was looking at him with a curious eye, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little, but his face still said quietly: "Your road is in this new deal, the old king has already paved for you, just waiting for you to go, why can't you find it?" The original intention of the New Deal was to exchange the executive power of the cabinet for the financial and military power of the local governors. It's not an exaggeration to be the head of the cabinet. Secondly, in order to ensure that the governors could hand over their power with peace of mind, the old king specially stipulated the independence of the judiciary, and from now on, no one could declare anyone guilty, including the king, without approval. Moreover, this article does not apply retroactively, that is, no matter what you have done before, after the new policy is implemented, as long as you are not violating the law, even the king will not be able to help you. With these two points, what are you afraid of and what are you waiting for? Isn't it dangerous enough for you to go down such a bright road in front of you, and if you don't go to it, you have to get into a dead end? After that, he stared straight at the second prince, he believed that this was the only path that the second prince could choose, as long as he was still in a normal spirit, he would definitely obey his own arrangement.

However, the second prince has always been arrogant, and he was not reconciled to let him hand over the power in his hands and give up hope of competing for the throne. Sure enough, after hearing what Clifford said, he was so angry that he slammed the table with a "bang", stood up and shouted: "Okay, you Clifford, you are here for the eldest prince to be a lobbyist, right?" You want me to honestly hand over power and support him as king, so that you can become a meritorious hero. ”

Arya is not very bold, and her mind is now on Clifford, when she heard the second prince say this, she trembled with fright, and said tremblingly: "Your Royal Highness the second prince, no." Trust my master. ”

"Shut up!" The second prince slapped on the table with a "snap", turned his head, and shouted at Alya: "Is there a place for you slave to talk?!" Don't forget who you are! ”

Arya didn't dare to speak anymore, and hurriedly lowered her head, looking terrified, she now saw it completely clearly, in the eyes of the second prince, she was a slave, a tool that could be used and discarded at any time, if he really had a little bit of love for himself, even if he coveted beauty, he would definitely not give himself to others, her heart has now completely fallen to Cleford, although she knows that Cleif is still a little defensive of her now, but she is willing to bet her life on this little master, His eyes stole at Clifford, his eyes full of worry.

Collie naturally saw her eyes, and said in his heart that this woman had indeed done a lot of wrong things to herself before, but fortunately she did not cause trouble to herself, and today she is willing to stand up and defend herself, which can be regarded as her heart, as long as she will no longer pit herself in the future, leave her a life, and let her be a slave for herself for a lifetime, she raised her eyes and looked directly at the second prince, without the slightest fear in her eyes, and said lightly: "Yes, His Royal Highness the second prince." I've been getting closer to the eldest prince these days, and it's normal for you to be suspicious. But if you think about it, isn't that right? Is there any other way for you to go? I tell you this for the sake of your gift to me the lovely maid Arya and the hospitality you have given me. If you don't believe me, then I can't help it. I remember a philosopher once said that the wisest people never take chances to do dangerous things, and only stupid people will stay in dangerous situations and kill themselves. The temptation to take the throne is great, and I can understand your feelings, but you also have to think about the actual situation, and consider whether you can get it. It's like a crater with a thousand kilograms of gold, would you pick it up? If you have a life to take money, you have to have a life to spend it. ”

The second prince was completely silent when he said this, Collie Fu said well, but the temptation of the throne is great, but he has no possibility of getting it now, if he is still obsessed with wanting to snatch the throne, then the end is no different from jumping into the volcano to grab gold, and in the end he can only end up in disrepute, I have to admit that the path that Collie pointed out to him is the only feasible path he has so far, and it is also the best path left to him by his father.

However, the throne that had been fought for so long was given up like this, and he was still unwilling in his heart, how could this make him willing, sitting on a chair like a statue, his hands tightly rubbed together, his facial expression was very solemn, and it could be seen that his heart was struggling fiercely.

After a while, it was the princess Eva who broke the silence in the air, smiled at the second prince, and said, "Your Royal Highness the second prince." Why don't you ask Earl Clifford to go back first, and consider what he has to say. ”

The second prince was still like a statue, sitting there with a solemn face and not speaking. Seeing this, Coleford knew that it was useless to say anything now, and he had to be given full time to think about it, so he pulled Arya to stand up, gave a salute, and said, "Second prince, second prince and princess, then we will go back first." Thank you very much for your hospitality. With that, he bowed and walked out the door.

Arya lifted the hem of her skirt and curtsied to them, then took two steps after Clifford, grabbed him by the arm, and followed him out of the second prince's mansion.

Clifford is still a little scared now, they all say that wealth and wealth are in danger, and today's risk is too big, persuading a person who has coveted the throne for many years to give up the idea of competing for the throne, that is simply more uncomfortable than sleeping with his woman, he was really afraid that the second prince would be excited to correct him on the spot, at the gate of the second prince's mansion, he immediately asked Alan to rush over, regardless of any gentlemanly etiquette, he carried Alia into the car, and then jumped into the car himself, and said anxiously: "Quick! Go home! "After leaving here, even if the second prince really wants to clean him up, he will be able to have a buffer time.
