On the third day of the extinguishing of the fire of Hurengel, the royal capital of Violet Laurels, the court hall of the royal family of Fillandz, the nobles of the kingdom were invited to gather here, and a staggered dinner was held with warm greetings and social tones between the big people.

The palace hall was as spacious as half a barracks, but it was not a barracks, the crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling were as soft as the moonlight, and several oak tables at the edge of the hall were filled with fruit, knives and forks, platters, roasted meats, and goblets filled with wine, and the young prince Juvent Fillandz and his wife, Madame Asona, the second sons of King Bagh, were standing gracefully at a long table exchanging something with a middle-aged nobleman.

If you put your ears closer, you will hear Prince Juventus speaking to the nobleman with a glass of rose-red liquid in his hand: "Good evening, Sir Tobs, the wine in your glass seems to be a little bitter, what kind of trouble makes you have a face in the midst of this lively atmosphere?" ”

Hearing the voice of Prince Juventus, the middle-aged aristocrat was expressionless at first, but quickly turned his head and put on a professional smile.

"Good evening, Your Highness, Madam." Sir Thobbs, whose name was Thobbs, said, "The wine is delicious, and of course there is a bitter taste, but it only gives our tongue a richer palate, and there is nothing wrong with that." ”

After the words fell, he handed back the right to reply to Prince Juventus, and still maintained the smile on his face that should be in a social situation, but anyone with a little political sensitivity could see that the smile on his face was deliberately pretended.

Tobs V'O'Brien, Duke of the Violet Kingdom, lord of the Ronster Plains in the south of the kingdom, and lord of Ursonburg, is forty-five years old, not too old in the life of an aristocratic politician, but he is no longer young.

The Duke of the Ronster Plains does not have a good impression of Prince Juventus, the reason for this is not only the mismatch between the two personalities, but also the fact that Prince Juventus is the current leader of the royal party of the kingdom, and he is a factional minister of the regency faction, and the question of the inheritance of the title of King Violet always falls to Princess Tifia, the de facto regent of the kingdom at this time.

Speaking of the heirs of the kingdom, we have to mention the heirs of King Bag's knees - Prince Simon, Prince Juventus, Princess Tifia, Prince Koend, and a stillborn baby who did not even have time to choose a name.

King Bagh Fillandz inherited the lineage of his predecessor, King Atrik, but instead of inheriting the wisdom of his predecessor, the demented king seemed to have a little brain problem at birth - which is also ridiculous, because the kingdom always adopted the male-first primogeniture method when it came to the problem of inheritance, and the demented kingdom happened to be the only son of the previous king, and ended up sitting on the throne by mistake.

A few years ago, when he was crowned in a ceremony presided over by the court priests, he was afraid that he did not know what was going on around him, the crown on his head was a complete surprise to him, and his ability to maintain the rule of the kingdom in an orderly manner was naturally impossible for him, so Princess Tiphia, who was stronger than all the princes, stepped forward to take the regent of the country from him, and single-handedly co-opted the nobles who had fallen to him and established her own faction.

According to the order of birth, except for Prince Simon, who has long given up the right to inherit the throne and left his homeland to go to the West, Prince Juventus is the elder brother of Princess Tifia in terms of generation, and the legal heir of the kingdom feels a huge threat from his sister, he feels that his sister does not have the appearance of a girl at all, and thinks that she should have grown up obediently with the toys in her hand, and when she became an adult, she was married to the Faentan Empire to marry, instead of controlling the power of the country like now.

Therefore, he joined the royal party that supported the king's rule, and became the leader of the party as the current de jure heir of the kingdom, trying to make his annoying sister settle down and not always think of ruling the kingdom as a woman.

We cut the scene back to the corner of the banquet, the Duke of Tobbs handed back the right to reply to the Prince of Juventus, and the young prince raised his eyebrows at the middle-aged duke, and also showed a noble smile and replied to the former in a witty tone: "Well, if you are enjoying it, then I still have a little personal matter to leave, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Duke Tobbs replied politely, and then watched the young prince and his consort turn away.

"Why are you talking to him?" Turning her head and noticing that Duke Tobs didn't follow, Asona walked beside Prince Juventus and looked up slightly at her husband's face, "He's a regent, have you forgotten?" ”

"I haven't forgotten." The young prince paused and turned his head to look at his beautiful wife, "I just wanted to test him, after all, the Duchess of Longster is a fertile land, and it must be a surprise to be able to get it." ”

"But he won't fall to the king." Asona frowned slightly, "He's Tifia's diehard, you and I know it." ”

"So I shouldn't leave him to chance." Prince Juventus smiled bitterly, "His face is so ugly, you can tell that you don't mean anything good to me at a glance." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head in the other direction and saw a bald man walking towards him.

"Greetings for a long time, my old friend, the last time we met was in Silver Bird City, right?" Prince Juventus turned to look at the man, then raised his glass and stepped forward.

The prince's reaction caught the attention of some outsiders, and the two of them seemed to have a good relationship, although the age gap made it inevitable that there was a little generation gap between them, but even then they were like two best friends who had been reunited after a long absence.

"Where, Your Highness the Prince. Your heroic appearance is as handsome as the previous king, but I came all the way from Silver Bird City, and this dusty appearance still makes you smile. The man also came with another glass, and the ornate noble headband on his forehead made his hairless scalp at least not so embarrassing, and the Silver Sparrow City that he and the prince had mentioned in succession was his fiefdom.

The man's name was Charlie Kenster, the Earl of Silverbird City in the middle of the kingdom, and he was a member of the royal party.

The prince and the earl raised their goblets and came together, and the wine in the two glasses shook with a soft clinking of glasses, and then the two glasses drank it down.

After that, they exchanged a few polite greetings, and then suddenly lowered their voices very tacitly, and first Prince Juventus asked in a low voice: "What about Koend?" ”

"His Highness Kohnder didn't come." Earl Charles frowned slightly.

"Why?" The prince looked puzzled.

"Because the invitation was sent by the princess."

"That's it?"

"He hates the princess as much as you do."

"That idiot." The young prince snorted coldly, his face full of disappointment and helplessness.
