Chapter Twenty-Four: Elfin's Little Trick

"I see...... It's a great solution. After listening to the causes and consequences of Richard's coup, Cedric couldn't help but exclaim, "On the one hand, he made a gesture of detention and imprisonment to the outside world, but in fact, he sent Colonel Richard's most trusted and admired predecessor, Cassius, to find out the truth and confirm Colonel Richard's repentance and unchanging loyalty...... Later, under the unfavorable situation of the invasion of the royal capital and the destruction of residential areas, the clever use of Colonel Richard's characteristics gave him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions - in this way, not only can the goal of offsetting the merits and demerits be achieved, but also the dissatisfaction of all walks of life towards Colonel Richard can be weakened, and more importantly, his heart can also be willing to fight for this - Queen Alicia is indeed an excellent king...... I still have a lot to learn. ”

"Hehe, Your Highness, you don't have to worry. That's a wise man who has been in power for more than forty years, has been through the storms and waves, and you are still very young. "Besides, it is not as difficult to rule a small country as Liber, which has long since abolished the aristocracy, and to rule a large empire as Erebonia." ”

"yes, Cedric. Heliga is right, at our age, it's a little early to want to pay attention to politics or something. Compared to that, you should think about how to deal with the group of noble ladies who care, love, have and add to you. "Elfin is undoubtedly a copy of Olibat, and he is merciless in his taunts of those who are familiar, especially his twin brother, who is more introverted and weak.

"What, what!" Cedric's face flushed, but he didn't show weakness, "You yourself don't always refuse to dance at royal balls...... Anyway, in less than two years, it's time for you to enter the social world! ”

Normally, Cedric's rhetorical question would have left Elphine speechless, but this time it was different - instead of showing an embarrassed expression as usual, Elfin showed a strange smile.

"Ah, you reminded me of this, Cedric—I've got an idea about my partner."

"Ah...... What? Cedric muttered, apparently hurting Elfin's reaction, "Is it really the son of the four famous families?" Is it the one from Duke El Bardia's house? It's still the Haynes family—"

“…… Helriga. I think...... I invite you to next year's Dance Party at the Summer Festival as my dance partner. ”

“……”

For a moment, there was an eerie silence in the air.

It was a long time before Helriga spoke—

"His Highness Elfin...... Don't ...... like that"

He smiled wryly. After a few hours of getting along with each other, he had roughly understood Elfin's personality - to put it bluntly, it was a copy of Olibat, whether it was a beautiful voice and appearance, or a trace of elegance and casualness contained in eclectic etiquette, as well as this teasing character - he could be said to have been played by Elfin before, and now he couldn't make the same mistake again.

"Ah...... That's right. Elfinn's face darkened, looking so pitiful, "Miss Fei is a trusted person and comrade-in-arms who has experienced big and small adventures together, and Miss Laura is a childhood sweetheart from Xiaowan to adulthood, and both of them are beautiful women...... In that case, Heliga must not be interested in a little girl like me......

"Hey...... Hey, Elfin! Cedric's voice was a little urgent, the power of Elphine's dance partner can be said to be a very advantageous political resource in this country in a sense - there are many great nobles who have been watching this for a long time, if this scene in front of him really becomes a reality, then it is no exaggeration to say that the political arena of the empire will usher in a large-scale ground movement.

However, Heiliga was also prepared for this set - because of similar scripts, he had seen them countless times in Olibat and Mura. The only difference is that he can't do it to Princess Elfin like Mura did to repair Olibat—so he can only say with a little helplessness—

"Your Royal Highness, please stop in moderation. Not to mention the concerns of His Highness Cedric...... I've seen His Highness Olibat and Mr. Mura play out a similar situation countless times. ”

"Ahh......h Is it recognized? The ruse did not have the desired effect, and Elfin had to blink mischievously, and even Cedric on the side breathed a sigh of relief, "Should you say that you are worthy of being a friend of your brother?" It got used to my rhythm so quickly. ”

"Hmm...... However, if you think about it...... "After recovering from the shock just now, Cedric seems to really see some possibility in this plan, "Although he is only a viscount, he is a real nobleman no matter what, and it is said that Cryotswille is also quite influential in the academic world of the Empire, at least as Elfin's dance partner. And...... Heliga is still the hero who worked with his brother to solve Liber's mutation, right? In this way, the reason is even more sufficient. ”

"yes...... And such a choice is also acceptable mediation for the "four famous families". Elphine winked slyly, "So, it's a joke—but Helliga, it's not bad to think about it." ”

“…… Well, it seems to be really ......" Heiliga carefully weighed the words of the two of them in his heart, indeed, Elfin himself is probably also very clear about the future of his upcoming political resources - if he has his own mediation in the middle, maybe it is also an opportunity to leave room for it.

"yes...... So, "this time" I'm going to give up. If you have a chance in the future, you should think about it. ”

"Thank you, ......Your Highness, Your Highness," Heliga regained a new understanding of the little fox in front of him who seemed to have a bad idea—it seemed that Elphine and Cedric were not the younger generation of the royal family who had no skills at all. At the very least, there are still basic judgments and understandings of things, and they can also derive and form a set of their own unique views. It seems that the future of the royal family is not about to be wasted, as it is said in the media...... It's just that Prime Minister Osborne's existence is too strong, so the young people of the royal family are not visible.

But before that, Heliga realized that there seemed to be some terrible misunderstanding in it.

"That...... Her Royal Highness...... Although I only asked now, it sounds a bit sluggish and hindsight...... But just now, the "Miss Laura" you mentioned is ......"

“…… The ...... "This time, it's not pretending, Elfin is really a little crying and laughing, "Heliga, you...... It's true...... Not realised? ”

"Consciousness what?" The rhetorical question was almost blurted out - and after this reflexive answer, Heliga suddenly realized what the problem was, and his expression instantly became very exciting.

"Ahh......h Is it a windfall......" Elfin's expression instantly became brilliant.
