Chapter 14: Oliebarth's Advice
"It's a move that fits your style." Sitting in the room on the second floor of the El Seyeu, Helliga clearly saw Oliebat's every move, and the two of them were filling their stomachs in the dining room at this moment.
"yes...... I've been working on this idea for a long time. Originally, even I felt that this was a bit out of line, but since that guy didn't take me seriously......" Olibat shook his head and swallowed a sip of red wine.
"But aren't you afraid that your impromptu will make the Zai pay more attention to you? If you let him underestimate you like that, won't it give you more room and leeway to play? "Even if it's refreshing and relieving, it doesn't seem like a rational move to get the prime minister's attention and vigilance too soon in the long run.
"If I insist on taking this so-called 'third way', then it will be a matter of time before I fight him and the aristocratic faction." Oliebart shrugged indifferently, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, "So instead of nervously avoiding him, it's better to take the initiative and strike first." β
"But in this way, you will suffer in the future...... Speaking of which, about the "Red Wings" ......"
"That's what you say? It's already in the final stages of construction...... It is expected that it will be able to be put into use in a maximum of one year...... Hehe, but remember to keep it a secret from me. I've worked so hard to hide this from everyone. β
"Really...... It seems that even the Intelligence Agency does not know the details. Looking at Olibat's confident look, Helliga nodded.
"Okay, don't just talk about me. Let's talk about you, too. Olibart patted Heliga on the shoulder, looking intimate, "That'...... I boasted to Elfin that I knew you, and she has been pestering me ever since, asking me to take you to meet her, and you see this ......"
"It's okay to meet in person...... It's better to say that it is my honor to meet Her Royal Highness. Naturally, Helriga agreed, "but...... Why does it always feel like there's some conspiracy somewhere? β
"Ha-ha." Oliebart smiled reluctantly.
"It's suspicious...... "Helliga grimaced, narrowing his eyes at the golden egg that had been serious for only five minutes in front of him, "Recruit me from the truthβ"
Crackle - a slight sound of electricity has passed.
"Ahh After a scream, Olibat collapsed on the dining room table, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
Mura, who had been standing on the side of the "......" before, finally couldn't see Olibat's exaggerated acting skills, his forehead was bruised, and he strode over, grabbed the back of Olybat's beautiful dress, and dragged it away brutally.
Then, the screams in the real sense resounded throughout the dining room-
"Fooled by." Heliga smiled bitterly, obviously accustomed to the way Mura and Olibat got along, "But, Your Royal Highness, ......"
Unlike Oliebat, the prince who came out of the house...... Elfin Leezer Arnor is the child of Princess Priscilla, and the twin sister of His Royal Highness Cedric, who was made crown prince.
Although both of them are only fourteen years old at present, they have already begun to appear frequently on various social occasions in the imperial capital. Legend has it that both of them have extremely eye-catching faces and looks, and at the same time have good upbringing, so although they are not yet sixteen years old to officially enter the social world, the future of the two royal families is already worried by many people...... in every sense of the word.
"Although probably...... Maybe it's unlikely...... But if you can establish some kind of connection with His Highness Elfin through this relationship......" Helliga thought for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"Forget it...... I've been thinking a little too much lately. β
"I think it's normal for you to have this concern." After the fight, Olibat and Mura walked in again, and for some reason Olibat's luxurious dress was miraculously not messed up because of the fight, and it seemed that Mullah's cultivation in this area of Olibat had reached the realm of "reason" (fog).
"Actually, this is also an opportunity." Olibart explained solemnly, "I thought about it before...... Your words, appearing next to the princess is actually a good choice. β
"How?" Heliga raised an eyebrow.
"First of all, you're one of the heroes who solved Liber's mutation - and you're on good terms with the Swordsman of Light. For that alone, at least no one will dare to underestimate you. Secondly, Alfin is still young, but she already needs to start dealing with all kinds of side knocks...... In other words, the question of Her Royal Highness's future husband may have been on the minds of some since she was born. β
"I understand...... Therefore, many of the sons and brothers of the "Four Famous Families" should have already seen His Royal Highness's beauty, right? Heliga raised an eyebrow.
"yes...... But then again. The "Four Famous Families" have a great business, and each family has a huge power in their respective territories, and their hands have long been stretched into all aspects of this country, and the entanglement and competition for Elfin has always been in open and secret battles...... Father he knows this, but he can only protect it in secret, and he can't do anything in substance. Olibart's words silenced Helliga again.
"I see...... Then I'm a good fit. Heiliga shook his head with a wry smile, "On the one hand, although my family is nominally a force of the Duke's family, everyone knows that my father and the Balyahat nobility circle have always been at odds; And my father has a certain reputation in the academic circle, and he probably has some reputation in the imperial capital. If I come forward to contact Her Royal Highness, I will not only have the superficial reputation of "the hero returns and is received by the royal family", but also can slightly deal a blow to the entanglement of the "Four Famous Families" with Her Royal Highness. In addition, due to the special reasons of my family, even if I have some contact with Her Royal Highness, I will not be taken into account by the "Four Famous Families...... In other words, it won't cause too much public opinion and backlash. β
"yes...... To put it bluntly, that's what it's all about. Olibat was silent for a moment, "Besides, if you can make a slightly high-profile appearance in the Empire like this, it will be a sword to your own advantage as my ally...... Don't you think so? β
ββ¦β¦ You care about your half-brother and sister......" Heliga understood Olybat's good intentions and sighed softly.
"Then ...... you," Olibat asked tentatively.
"You've got it all said at that, do I have any other choice but to say yes?" "It's just a political and social game," said heiga, "anyway...... Well, just a political ......"
"......" Mura and Olibat glanced at each other, and their eyes were mixed with complicated feelings.
During the conversation, the "El Saiyu" has gradually approached the most prosperous city in the Nasi Continent, full of history and vitality-
The "Imperial Capital" Heimdall.
