Chapter 180: The Truth Missed
The Kingdom of Lugnica, the royal capital -
"As the crown prince, he actually took care of the trivial affairs of those untouchables himself...... Sure enough, it is not a prince who has been raised as a crown prince since he was a child, but it is difficult to be a big responsibility. ”
After receiving the report from his subordinates, the tall bald old man showed a look of disdain in the conference hall that others would use to handle government affairs.
Some of the people of the Gathering of Sages, who were dealing with political affairs, frowned, ignored, and approving. But no one was surprised that the old man would say such things in such a grand manner on such an occasion.
After all, Bordeaux has always been so open-mouthed, not to mention that in this kind of time when it is only them, even in public, he has no scruples when he speaks, otherwise he would not have mocked Emilia directly in front of a nobleman in the original plot.
Because of this kind of mouth, Bordeaux doesn't know how many people he has offended in the kingdom, if it weren't for his family's deep background and the interests of many people, he would have been taken down a long time ago, how could he continue to stay in the Sage Association.
"Your Excellency Bordeaux, I have said that."
As the head of the Wise Men's Society, McLotford raised his head and admonished.
"Your Excellency McRotford, am I not right? As the crown prince, you shouldn't have to deal with the trivial affairs of civilians in person! Bordeaux, who heard the admonition, paused, and continued to speak hard, although he felt a little regret for the words he had just blurted out.
"Your Highness is still just a child, and it's normal for you to make mistakes...... Your Excellency Bordeaux, you should be more tolerant. This time it was another member of the Sage Society who spoke, and listening to his words, it was obvious that he did not approve of Lin Ling's personal handling of the affairs of the civilians, nor did he agree with Bordeaux's unkind words.
This is also normal, after all, strictly speaking, Lin Ling, as the crown prince, did make some mistakes in handling the affairs in his hands. It's not that the affairs of civilians are not worthy of being handled by a crown prince like Lin Ling, but this will lead to inefficiency and make more important matters unable to be dealt with in a timely manner.
After all, they didn't know that Lin Ling personally dealt with those things with his own hidden purpose.
- But one thing to say, this is also the pot of the social system. Because the Kingdom of Lugnica does not have a clear grading system at all, and officials who are professional in handling civil affairs, this also leads to the fact that the lord sometimes has to deal with the family problems of the people in his territory, but because there are too many affairs, many things are not written clearly, and most of the lords do not know anything about the life of the lords, which leads to all kinds of blind judgments and misjudgments, but the lords still feel that they are wise and powerful.
And Bordeaux didn't refute this time, just snorted.
The one who spoke before said to McRotford: "Your Excellency McLotford, although it is predicted that there will be a dragon witch to assist His Highness in the future, I think that before the dragon witch is elected, we should still arrange some teachers for His Highness to teach him, after all, ...... His Highness does lack some corresponding education, and now that His Highness is still young, it is not too late to start studying. ”
Hearing this, McLotford smiled and said, "I have also considered the teaching of His Highness, but we don't have to worry about it now......
"Huh?" The man was suddenly a little puzzled, but then he seemed to think of something and asked, "Is it Lord Kuruxiu?" ”
"It's Master Kurushei...... Although he is still only a candidate for the Dragon Shrine Maiden, Kuruxiu has his heart set on the kingdom and has decided to take time out of his time to personally teach His Highness in the matter of political [harmony]. Even when she doesn't have time, she will arrange for a teacher to accompany His Highness to study. McLotford said slowly.
"I see...... Kurusheu is really diligent......"
"Worthy of Lord Kurushei......"
Some people sighed, some people seemed to have expected it, and some people lowered their heads to hide the gloom in their eyes.
……
No matter how the sages over there would talk about it, Lin Ling here had already finished the affairs that should be handled one by one.
Of course, considering that there should be a lot of people monitoring him now, Lin Ling didn't make any small moves except for handling government affairs, but just took this opportunity to familiarize himself with the topographical map of the royal capital, and by the way, he learned about the nobles in their impression through the mouths of commoners, which can be regarded as a reputation survey.
And when it was almost dark, Lin Ling, who was about to go home for dinner with Reinharut, received an invitation from Kuluxiu, who invited him to have a light meal at the Kalustan Mansion.
"Then I'd be respectful and obey." Lin Ling smiled and nodded, he didn't mind having more contact with Kuluxiu at all.
"Then little Zoran come up and meow, and Reinharut will come with him too!" Phyllis, who was in charge of the invitation, said this, patting the vacant seat next to him with his hand at the same time, and motioned for Lin Ling and Reinharut to come up.
Lin Ling and the others naturally did not refuse, and got into the dragon car directly. As a result, as soon as he got into the car, Phyllis pounced on Lin Ling and hung directly on Lin Ling.
Of course, considering that Lin Ling is still only a 13-year-old child and is small, it looks more like Phyllis holding Lin Ling in his arms.
Lin Ling: ......
Brother, calm down, brother, I don't do it!
The corners of Lin Ling's mouth twitched, but he didn't push Phyllis away, and he heard the latter say, "Sure enough, it feels more comfortable to hold...... The mood is getting better, little Zolan is really a good boy! ”
Is it good to be comfortable to be fed and hugged? He's not a humanoid pillow, hey?!
Lin Ling complained in his heart, but he didn't pay much attention to Phyllis's words. After all, no matter how old he is, it is impossible for him to analyze other people's words word by word, and if he really does that, Lin Ling himself will have to die of exhaustion first.
So Lin Ling didn't realize that the comfort that Phyllis was talking about was comfort in the real sense.
This also caused Lin Ling to discover long after that the talent he devoured was an affinity EX-level skill for many sensitive sub-orcs.
"By the way, Phyllis...... Why would Kuruhio suddenly want to invite me to dinner? Lin Ling, who didn't want to discuss the issue of the humanoid pillow with Phyllis, tried to change the topic.
"Well, because His Highness wants to shoulder the responsibility of teaching little Zoran in the future!" Phyllis said as a matter of course, "After all, Xiao Zolan has not received the education that the crown prince should have, and those old men in the Sage Society are very unreliable, His Royal Highness is not worried about handing you over to them for education, so he plans to teach you in person......"
"After all, although you are a good boy, although a good boy does not study, you can't be a good king......"
Really......
"That's ......" Lin Ling showed a sudden look and laughed again, "I do have a lot of things to learn!" ”
