Chapter 131: You're Noble Now
Jin Guo glanced at Ariel next to him, who was very strict with his identity, and also nodded, and said with a smile: "What does Your Highness mean...... Give her some reward? β
Fierce Wave smiled and said, "Exactly." Well...... I wonder if when she made a bet with you and her father, did she agree on what price she would pay if she lost? β
Jin Guo laughed, patted his thigh, and said, "The price? Your Highness, this is really a joke. What can a servant have in return? I've said it many times before, and this bet is just a joke, an after-dinner conversation. I, and even Your Majesty, must have never taken this bet seriously, so we don't care what punishment this servant can get. Now that she's proven that she can't do anything, I think that's enough. β
Ariel nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir, I apologize for my rude behavior in the previous three years." β
Seeing that this maid had completely surrendered, Tide also smiled and said, "Brother Huang, so what reward do you want to give her?" β
After thinking about it, Meng Lang said: "That's it, although it is a pity that she was not able to complete the agreement, but no matter what, she has already earned more than nine hundred gold coins." As a reward, I want to remove her from her lowly status and restore her to the civilian class. β
"Ariel used to serve your fiancΓ©e as a maid, and as a dowry, she is also your person. Now that she has been restored to the commoner class, I want her to be your mistress in both substance and name. Look, how about that? β
The words of the fierce wave seemed a little sudden, and the tide here seemed to be a little surprised by this proposal, and began to think about it.
At this point, after thinking about it, Duke Jin Guo also said: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I don't think there should be any problem with this. β
Tide turned his head to look at Duke Jinguo, with a puzzled expression: "You also think it's okay?" β
Duke Jinguo nodded and said with a smile: "As Your Highness said, Ariel is already your person." Although it is possible to accompany His Highness only as a dowry, it is sometimes not very convenient to attend some formal occasions. For example, when my little girl is pregnant in the future and her body is inconvenient, if His Highness needs to attend some formal occasions, you will always seem to be a bit self-defeating when you go out with a maid. In comparison, it's better to have a mistress. β
The second prince's eyes rolled slightly, and then he laughed and said, "Father-in-law, are you afraid that I will take other mistresses out in the future, so you arranged this maid by my side in advance, so that it is convenient to spy on me instead of your daughter?" Hahaha! You can rest assured! Your daughter is the first beauty in our empire, and it's too late for me to love her, how can I be partial to others? β
Duke Jinguo still had a smile on his face and waved his hand: "Your Highness is laughing, I am completely thinking about His Highness's identity." β
Seeing this, the tide had no opinion, and said with a smile: "Okay!" Since both the imperial brother and father-in-law have said so, then I don't have any other opinions. Hey, dolls, I agree to get rid of your lowly status and restore you to civilian status. What do you think? Are you happy? β
Ariel's eyes that were smiling like crescents opened, and she continued to salute slowly to the second prince with a slightly toothy smile at the corner of her mouth-
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I can get rid of my lowly status in this life and be able to get the favor of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, which is really the greatest luck in my life."
Tide: "Hey~~~!" Don't thank you! What do you have to thank me? Remember that I am good to you, and you must also remember to 'represent' well, understand? β
Hearing this, Ariel's cheeks flushed slightly, she lowered her head, her face was peachy, and under her shyness, she was glamorous but incomprehensible.
Here, Ariel and the second prince were flirting and laughing.
On the other hand, Connor watched it all silently.
His eyes fell on the girl who was smiling so naturally and so cheerfully, but the corners of his mouth twitched silently.
He'll get used to it, though.
As he had been telling himself for the past three years, he had known that this fact was coming, so he had already begun to convince himself to get used to it.
And isn't it the most joyful thing that your students can win a happy life?
Thinking of this, Connor's mouth forced a smile to squeeze out. After a moment of deep silence, he slowly got up, saluted the fierce waves over there, and said, "Your Highness." β
"Uh, huh? Ah, you...... I remember you were ......"
"The elder Tengshu is the head of the Department of Economics, Connor Conservative. Because the president is not here today, the heads of several of our departments came to attend the afternoon tea party on behalf of the president. β
Meng Lang nodded slightly and said, "Oh~~~ Yes, what's the matter with you?" β
With a smile on his face, Connor glanced at Ariel next to him, and said with a smile: "Here, I first congratulate His Royal Highness the Second Prince on having such a beautiful fiancΓ©e and such a smart and moving mistress. In addition, after listening to your conversation for a while, I would like to add a few more suggestions that are not suggestive. β
Fierce Wave: "You say? β
Connor bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "With the royal status of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, even his mistress must have a noble status. Since Ms. Garcia is no longer a lowly person, how about it be better for His Royal Highness to replace His Majesty and give Ms. Garcia the title of a baron? In this way, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will not take a civilian girl out and make people gossip. It is only when Lady Garcia has the status of nobility that she can have the slightest qualification to become the mistress of the royal family. β
Speaking of this, Connor didn't wait for the others around him to object, but hurriedly said-
"But in this way, the mistress has a noble title, but the main room has no title, isn't it ridiculous and generous? Therefore, I also propose here that the princess-to-be should be given a noble status. She could not have the same title as Lady Garcia as her mistress, nor could she usurp her father's position. Therefore, we can choose one of the three princes, uncles, and princes to give our future second princess. β
Duke Jinguo, who originally wanted to express some dissent, immediately closed his mouth after hearing this sentence again, and just smiled.
After thinking for a while, Tide turned his head to look at the imperial brother next to him, and the crown prince also said after a moment of thought: "That's right, my wife has also inherited her father's position as a baron, and there is no reason for my brother's status as a mediocre woman." Tides, Golden Fruit, if you don't have an opinion, then I'll give Baron Ariel the status of nobility and the status of Count Alice, what do you think? β
It's just an identity, and it's an identity that has no real power at all, and it's just an honorary identity, which of course won't have any problems for Tidal and Jinguo.
At that moment, Meng Lang nodded slowly, walked out of his desk, picked up his sword, walked in front of Ariel with a smile, and said, "Ariel, from today onwards, I will exempt you from your lowly status and restore your civilian status. At the same time, in view of your wonderful deeds over the past three years, I now bestow upon you the title of Baron in the place of my father, the Venerable Azur XII. β
Ariel immediately knelt in front of the fierce waves, and the crown prince drew his sword, lightly touched Ariel's shoulders and the top of her head, and said with a smile-
"Congratulations, Ariel. can come to the current aristocratic status as a maid, I'm afraid you are the only one in this world. β
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment." Ariel got up slowly, the smile on her face was still like a flower, "From now on, I will redouble my efforts to serve His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess-to-be, and I will never dare to have any disobedience." I only hope that His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess-to-be can be kind and loving, and grow old, which will be the greatest happiness in my Ariel Garcia's life. β
"Good! Very good! β
Fierce Wave put away his sword and returned to his seat amid the applause of Connor next to him clapping and quietly wiping the corners of his eyes.
And Ariel, who had obtained the title of nobility, now took a step slowly, and said with a smile: "Respected Royal Highness, Respected Second Prince, it's not too early, but I still want to ask about the strange car cast by the Elemental Machine, as well as the progress of all the next developments of the Elemental Machine." I don't know Your Highness...... What do you think? β
Finally...... I'm still talking about it.
Although Ariel knows that her so-called baron status is just an ornament, what she needs to do is still the kind of work that serves and takes care of the eldest lady and the second prince. But seeing that the sun outside the window is gradually turning westward, if she doesn't finish this matter here today, then she is really afraid that she will never have the opportunity to talk about it again.
Obviously, the fierce wave behind the desk was slightly stunned by Ariel's proposal, and then pinched his chin and thought about it.
"Well, Ariel, I agree with you. I'm afraid we do need to talk about your car now...... Also, what do you call that car yours? Elemental machine? β
Ariel nodded slightly, but just as she was about to speak......
Click-click-click-click
There was another soft knock outside the door.
Immediately, a soldier's voice came: "Your Highness, the High Priest and the High Elder ask for a meeting. β
After thinking about it, Fierce Wave also glanced at Ariel here, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let them in." β
