Chapter 113: 1-112 Play each other
Iroh returned to New Cruise, but this time he was not the only one who came back, Mel had to follow with a dead face, and after Iroh repeatedly refused to no avail, he let her over, but not only did she come, but Erin also came with him.
Edward himself was enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea, he didn't like to have an attendant with him, he had been spoiled by Eloh since he was a child, and he would rather not have an unfamiliar and considerate attendant.
"Disturb His Highness Edward." Iroh broke into Edward's garden, and greeted him with him.
"Good morning Iroh, oh, and Miss Irene...... Who is this? Edward greeted the two of them, then looked at Mel.
"Good morning, Your Highness Edward." Erin greeted Edward.
"Good morning Your Highness Edward, I am the younger sister of Brother Iroh, and my name is Mel." Mel introduced himself.
"Good morning Miss Mel, is there something you are here for today?" Edward also greets Mel, and then he looks at Ello, the second of which he asks for Ello.
Iroh was about to explain his intentions directly, but Edward gestured and invited the three of them to take a seat.
"I happened to make some tea today, you used to make tea for me, and today you also come to taste my craftsmanship." Edward smiled and asked for credit from Ello.
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Iroh took the teapot, poured tea for Erin and Mel, and sat down beside Edward.
Edward stared at Iroh until he saw him take a sip of the tea he had brewed, and then he looked expectantly, waiting for Iroh's evaluation.
"Very good, very suitable for today's tea party." Iroh gave a pertinent assessment.
"I thought you'd just say you had less sugar." Edward laughed.
Iroh said seriously: "Although it is true that there is less sugar, Her Royal Highness Erin does not like food that is too sweet, so it is indeed very suitable for today's tea party." ”
Edward glanced at Erin with a little surprise, and after seeing that the other person nodded slightly, he said to Iroh, "Really?" Then I reluctantly accept your flattery, what is the matter with coming today? ”
"The school is about to hold a Valentine's Day ball, and I'm not very suitable for it, so it's better for Your Highness to do this kind of thing." Iroh didn't go around in circles with Edward, he directly explained what he encountered and what he thought.
Edward frowned, and then said, "I don't really want to participate in the inexplicable ball, after all, the real dragon slayer is not me, and if I want to be cheeky to accept the flattery of others, I still can't do it." ”
"But if I show my stuff, it will still be harmful to His Highness's statement." Iroh said.
"It's a real problem." Edward held his chin and thought a little distressedly, "Can I not participate?" ”
"I'm afraid not, 'Edward' is a teacher in the Sky Academy, and he has been in the spotlight, I can't think of any way to justifiably refuse, not to mention that the coronation ceremony of the new Queen of Sunderland is about to be held before that ball, and I'm afraid it doesn't make sense if Edward is not there." Iroh said.
"I think some aristocrats just have cerebral palsy." Edward muttered wryly.
"I'm for it!" Erin raised her hand in support of Edward's remarks.
"There is no way, the low-level nobles must take this path if they want to tie up the high-level nobles, and if the upper nobles do not hold a ball, the lower nobles will be uneasy, and they will feel that they will never come out." Mel explained to the two top nobles who didn't know about the plight of the nobles at the bottom.
"The nobility is really troublesome." Erin lay down on the table.
"All in all, if I play, it is very likely that I will be recognized by people who knew His Highness Edward before, and if His Highness Edward plays in person, it will test His Highness's acting skills, what is His Highness going to do?" Iroh gave Edward the choice.
Edward closed his eyes and began to think about what to do next.
"Why don't we go together?" After a little thought, Edward came to this conclusion.
"What's it to go together? Changing players in the field? Iroh asked.
"One as Edward, one as Edward's squire knight." Edward's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"It's really foolproof, well, I'm going to change this outfit......"
"No, you as Edward, I'm Edward's knight Iroh." Edward said, "How? I've wanted to play like this for a long time. ”
Apparently shocked by his proposal, Iroh stared at Edward for a long time before he said, "Didn't you play with it when you were a child?" Have you forgotten when you were beaten by His Majesty and couldn't get out of bed? ”
"At that time, he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to distinguish between me and you, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to distinguish between me and you at that time, and then you played tricks, and he gave the position of the heir to the wrong person. Now that I don't want to inherit the throne again, let's have a fun time swapping identities - besides, don't you want to dance with Her Highness Irene? Edward questioned Iroh.
"Why did you add a highness to Erin's title?" Iroh asked.
"Why don't you get into the role early, how about it, do you agree?" Edward looked at Iroh eagerly.
"Of course I won't!" Swapping identities is for the sake of completing tasks, not for fooling around.
"Then there is no way to do it." Edward cleared his throat, "Knight of New Cruise, Iroh, I order you in the name of Prince Edward, during the Valentine's Day Ball, you and I will exchange identities, from today onwards, I will appear as your Knight Iro, and you will play Prince Edward, this is the task assigned to you by the New Cruz royal family, this task does not conflict with the task you are performing now, so you can't refuse." ”
"How old are you and still so fun-loving?" Iroh protested.
Erin raised her hand at this time: "I think it's actually quite good, I approve of it." ”
"So who else is in favor?" Edward turned his gaze to Mel.
"I abstain." Mel glanced at Iroh, who wanted to approve but didn't dare.
"Two votes for one, it's decided, from now on you are Edward, I am Iroh, I'll go change my clothes, you wait for me for a while." Edward excitedly stood up and turned to leave his seat.
Leaving the three of them to sit awkwardly in front of their seats, after a while, Erin quietly leaned into Iroh's ear and asked, "Does this Prince Edward like to mess around so much?" ”
"Otherwise, who do you think inspired me to replace Edward to slay dragons, or that he had to change identities with me when he was a child, except for Her Royal Highness Elizabeth, no one can tell the two of us." Iroh replied.
"And how did Her Highness Elizabeth tell you?" Erin asked curiously.
"Because His Royal Highness Edward will deliberately pretend to be me, so the method of distinguishing is different every time, for example, the first time is when she takes out a board and beats the board, one person beats it, it is Edward who begs for mercy, and I am the one who is silent." Iroh recounts his own story.
