Give a whip and then a piece of candy.

It's old-fashioned, but it's very useful.

After receiving the crown prince's promise, the tension on Sugarcoat's face finally eased slightly. Allowed by the fierce waves, they rose one after another and stood aside.

As for Fierce Wave, since he had decided to take on the responsibility of the noon cold meal of the Holy Night Festival, he did not have that much free time. At that moment, after a few simple words to his father who was lying on the bed, he turned around and left the room and went to the diplomatic reception room to meet the foreign envoys.

"Teacher, what now?"

After the crown prince left, the pharmacist on the side still looked at the sugar-coated wine with some nervousness.

The old man exhaled a little and said, "What else can I do?" I'll leave it like this for now. Go, pull those death row inmates out, (softly) but before sending them to His Highness to see, each of them will be given another 1.5 doses of potion. ”

The pharmacists on both sides nodded their heads when they received the order, and turned to leave.

But at this time......

"Why...... Not yet...... Begin......? ”

An old voice suddenly came from the bed, not only the members of the pharmacist, but also the maids and male servants on both sides immediately crowded to the side of the bed after hearing this sound, looking at the old man on the bed who seemed to have run out of oil and lamp.

"Your Majesty, you ...... Awake? ”

Sugar-coated asked tentatively.

The old man on the bed turned his head slightly, his eyes that were deeply sunken in his sockets were full of cloudy yellow, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and with a slight pleading voice, he said tremblingly-

"Why...... Not yet...... Begin......? Fast...... I'm going to...... Give me...... Fast......! ”

The sugar-coated wine and the pharmacists next to him were slightly stunned, they glanced at each other, the sugar-coated wine looked embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked for a postponement of the injection...... Please wait a minute......"

"Wait......?! Why...... Want...... Wait?! ”

The eyes that were very cloudy just now were suddenly bloodshot at this moment! Even though his voice was weak, the anger in his words could still be heard.

"I ...... It's the emperor......! Stinky Boy...... He...... Why...... Want me to ...... Wait?! ”

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Sugar-Coated Wine and the pharmacists on the side hurriedly knelt down. Especially the sugar-coated wine, he glanced at the needle still placed next to him, and smiled slightly embarrassedly.

"That'...... So...... Your Majesty......"

For sugar-coated wines, the situation is really difficult right now.

The emperor wants to be injected, and that's no problem. But the problem is that the crown prince asked to put it on hold for the time being.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with blindly obeying the emperor's orders, but it is clear that His Majesty's life is coming to an end, and it is not even certain whether he can survive this winter. If the pharmacists disobeyed the crown prince at this time, it was really difficult to guarantee how the status of the pharmacist family would change when the crown prince became the thirteenth emperor of Bilan.

So the best way is for the crown prince to be here, let him argue with the emperor, if the crown prince can't resist the emperor and acquiesce to the injection, then his side will not be responsible.

"Since the old man wants to get an injection so much, then let's get it, why do you want to do so much?"

But just when Sugar-Coated Wine and the others hesitated, a voice suddenly came in from the door.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that the second prince of the Blue Bay Empire, the protagonist of today's eighteenth birthday, Tide Fierce Wave, was now wearing a loose long-distance running pajamas with an open chest, pinched an apple in one hand and took a bite, leaned against the door frame, and said with a flirtatious face-

"What do you want me to do? I said that since the old man likes this injection so much, let him take it, and the old man will be more energetic after the injection. What are you waiting for here? ”

Seeing the appearance of the tide and the fierce waves, the sugar-coated wine suddenly nodded as if relieved and laughed. Then, he respectfully saluted the emperor on the bed, and redirected the pharmacists next to him to prepare for the injection.

It didn't take long for him to pick up the needle, feel the position on the arm of Bilan XII, and gently pierce the needle into it.

As the liquid in the syringe was slowly pushed into the blood vessels, the emperor, who had just looked very irritable and unbearable, suddenly showed an expression as if he had descended into the immortal realm.

He closed his eyes and began to silently enjoy a feeling that he was afraid that no one else would understand. Even with his mouth half-open, he breathed softly, and after a few moments, the corners of the old man's chapped mouth even showed a smile of relief.

The tide at the door looked at the old emperor on the bed, snorted, took a bite of the apple in his hand, and turned to leave. Just as he was leaving, he bumped into a man in a monster suit running all the way from the corridor in front of him, and immediately reached out to stop him.

"Father is resting, what are you wearing like this? Don't you think your father is not angry enough? ”

The little monster raised its two paws to cover its head, and a girl's voice came from inside: "I want you to take care of it!" Brother Menglang asked me to come to see my father, have you seen my father? ”

Tide snorted, continued to bite the apple, and then stuffed the apple into the little monster's always-open mouth, and said with a smile: "Father is resting, we don't need to go to visit." You go back too, I don't know how long you're going to wear this outfit. When I get married in the future, I'll see if you wear this outfit together. ”

The little monster hurriedly shook its head and shook off the apple in its "mouth". Then, she raised her two slightly stubby paws and made a gesture to pounce: "Ahhhh Bite you! ”

"Heh, retarded."

As he spoke, the tide crossed his hands on his hips and staggered away.

Seeing the second brother leaving, the little monster touched the edge of the emperor's bedroom. She looked in on the porch, and saw that her father was indeed lying on the bed now with his eyes closed, and after looking happy, she groaned slightly, and finally stretched out her paws to hold her head and shook it, and simply turned around and left.

Whoa, bump!

In the night, a sudden flickering firework became the most dazzling prelude to the celebration.

Everyone held their breath and watched the most glorious night of the Holy Night Sacrifice.

Today...... Just today.

The entire Hanhai City will illuminate every corner of the city with a light that seems to never go out.

The light of magic became a gift, making every Hanhai City ...... No, let everyone in the Blue Bay Empire enjoy the joy of the night today, and enjoy the best side of this empire under the light that is almost as dazzling as the sun.

The sounds of cheers, frolicks, shouts, and the occasional fight in those taverns in the distance enliven the city.

No one doubts how wonderful the world really is right now.

Except for one person.

The walking man seemed a little restless, and although he tried hard to restrain his form and not appear too anxious, passers-by could see the worried expression on the man's face if he paid a little attention.

Following the flow of people, the man walked towards the blue castle.

In front of the moat, a large number of people with invitations in their hands, waiting in line to enter this ordinary person, who is usually isolated from any civilians. Even this person must now have to line up here, waiting for the guard to check everyone's invitations one by one before he can enter without a hitch.

This man is waiting here anxiously. He kept rubbing his hands, and his footsteps kept stomping.

Since it is already the middle of winter, even if there are more people here now, the cold climate will not change after all. While waiting in line, this person couldn't help but pull the cloak on his body to warm up his body a little.

Then, just while waiting for the team to move forward......

"Ahh Mermaid Song~~~! Uncle, do you like mermaid songs too? ”

A childish voice came from the side, and the man was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look at his side. I saw a little girl about six or seven years old, with a bun of hair, a very thin face with a face a little red from the cold, and a rough and simple patch dress, who was now pulling the corner of this person's clothes, and shouted happily.

And the reason why this little girl cried out was, of course, because of a decorative pendant hanging from the waist of this "uncle" - a mermaid song guild around the badge.

The uncle looked at his badge, and then at the little girl with a cheerful smile on her face, and couldn't help but squat down, touch her head with a smile, and say, "Yes, I like the mermaid song very much." Little sister, do you like it too? ”

"Hmmm! My favorite...... Mermaid Song! ”

The little girl opened her hands, and the two small palms were covered with dust and mud. Then, she took the uncle by the hand and began to gleefully narrate the power of the mermaid song—

"Mermaid Song! They're so strong! It's amazing! They can easily defeat those people, and they are very brave! I like that president brother the most, that president brother looks so gentle, good person! ”

Seeing that the little girl loved the song of the mermaid so much, the smile on this person's face also softened. But at this moment, a man who looked to be less than thirty years old walked from a distance with an anxious face, looking for something as he went. When he saw the little girl here, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her.
