Idle is idle, and Arrow agreed at the moment.

Then, Natalie leads the way in front and Arrow follows behind. After passing through several sentry posts and courtyards, the two finally arrived at a pavilion in the middle of the lake and sat down in the pavilion.

"Don't mind that just now, this little girl is our family's favorite little ancestor, she is just sixteen years old this year, the third princess of the Blue Bay Empire - Sweet Wine Cheese Blue. What do you think? Is it the same as rumored? ”

As she walked, Natalie began to complain about the situation on her side. Arrow clapped his hands and said, "I have long heard that our third princess has an eclectic style, and her usual clothes are also very ...... Personality! I saw it today, and I saw it with my own eyes! ”

The maid on the side poured tea for the two of them and brought a fruit plate. Natalie happily pushes the fruit bowls in front of Arrow, as if she were her favorite brother, and encourages Arrow to eat more.

Arrow picked up a round-looking fruit and asked curiously, "Sister Natalie, what is this?" What a beautiful fruit. It's a small round one, and it can still transmit light when it shines on the sun! ”

Natalie smiled and said, "You don't know this, do you?" It was just picked from a small island on the other side of the coast in the past two years, and it is a fruit called 'lychee'. It's very sweet, you taste it. ”

Arrow put the fruit in his mouth and bit it gently. In an instant, the sweet juice immediately spurted out of the white and tender flesh, almost not startling Arrow.

"This ...... It's so sweet! Why is it so sweet? ”

Seeing Arrow's exaggerated expression, Natalie also laughed happily and said, "How is it? Sister didn't lie to you! Let me tell you, these lychees are not so white and tender, they have an ugly and ugly shell on the outside, but the servants have peeled the shell before they are served. I'm sure you won't recognize it even if you see a lychee with a shell. ”

Arrow looked at the soft and tender fruit, covered his mouth, and tried to eat all the juice in his mouth, before he spit out a small core and placed it on the table.

After thinking for a moment, Arrow couldn't help but speak, "Sister Natalie, this thing called Lychee...... Where did you get it? Is it easy to plant? Why don't we find a way to plant a little bit too? ”

The maid on the side picked up a handkerchief, grabbed a lychee and put it in Natalie's mouth. The princess smiled and said, "It's not that no one has thought about it, but this fruit is really squeamish, and it can't be planted no matter how you plant it after leaving the island in the south." In addition, these lychees are very delicate and must be transported immediately after picking, and if they are left from the branches for more than three days, the taste will become unpalatable. Thousands of kilometers of road, and it's really thanks to my husband who thinks of ways to get such troublesome things to please me. ”

Originally, Arrow wanted to reach for one again.

But when he heard this, the hand that he wanted to stretch out couldn't help but retract. After thinking about it, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom, carefully wrapped the nuclei he had eaten, and put them in his bosom.

"What? Do you want to try it too? ”

Natalie has a smile on her face—

"I heard that you went to work in the guild, but I didn't expect you to still work as a farmer?"

Arrow smiled and said, "I know some friends who are very good at growing things, so I want to try it." But sister, how are you doing lately? Now that your belly is getting bigger, you probably won't be running around outside anymore, right? ”

When it comes to her belly, Natalie's face is immediately full of excitement and pride. She gently stroked her abdomen and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since the last time, I haven't even gone out to see our people, and even going out of the castle has been absolutely forbidden." Alas...... Sometimes I feel a little stuffy. ”

Arrow poured Natalie a cup of hot water and smiled, "It's better to be careful." How can there be a pregnant woman like you running around with a belly upright? ”

Natalie put on a very stubborn look and said, "What's wrong with my big belly? He is usually busy with official business, so I will take his place to inspect our people to see how our people are living, whether they are poor, whether they feel fairness and justice, and whether they are happy and healthy! Only when the people's lives are better, his work will be easier, right? And—"

She lowered her head, rubbed her stomach with great pity, and said with a smile—

"The child in my womb is also the future emperor of this country, I want him to learn how to be a good emperor from an early age, so that he, like his father, will lead our country to a brighter and more brilliant future!"

As she talked and chatted, Natalie's interest grew. After talking about her own children, she also began to pull Arrow like an ordinary woman, and began to complain that her husband was only in charge of work all day long. At the same time, they will also talk about some interesting things from the time when they were with Arrow, which caused the two of them to laugh.

It's just that Natalie's personality is more or less reluctant to be restrained, and after talking for a while, she felt that the maids around her were very boring, so she let these maids go far away, leaving only herself and Arrow in the Lake Pavilion while eating afternoon tea and chatting.

"Alas...... Sometimes, I really want to be on a good wave. ”

Natalie's brow furrowed slightly, she took a sip of hot tea, exhaled, and said slowly—

"As a prince, he naturally has the burden of being a prince, and I also know that he is bent on making the Blue Bay Empire stronger and safer. Make life better for ordinary people. But he's been busy like this, and I'm really worried about his body......"

Arrow picked up a grape and put it in his mouth to chew, and said, "I know that His Royal Highness is very busy, but every successor to the throne should be like this. Thinking of me, just managing a guild is a lot of work, but it's running a country. ”

Hearing the word guild, Natalie's eyes rolled slightly, and she said, "Ariel, after this battle is over this year, you will dissolve the guild, right?" ”

Arrow was slightly stunned and spit out the grape seeds in his mouth: "This ...... Why? ”

Natalie sighed and said, "You're a girl, and you're going to marry in after the Holy Night Festival." I never heard of someone who married into the royal family going to run a guild. What's more, it's still such a small guild. ”

In response, Arrow only laughed dryly twice, noncommittal.

"Of course, I wouldn't tell you that if it was really just a hobby. But it's better to stop doing this kind of thing as soon as possible. Because by next year, Fierce Wave should have a series of policies to abolish guilds. ”

If the persuasion just now only made Arrow laugh a little, then the news he got now made Arrow's original smile on the corner of his mouth no longer be maintained.

Soon, though, his mind remembered the Guild Revocation Plan that the Infernal Guild Guild leader had mentioned.

"It turns out that the rumors are true?"

Arrow nodded lightly and said.

Natalie picked up a lychee again and put it in her mouth, saying, "It turns out that the folk have already spread it?" Uh-huh, that's too. My husband has been in charge of things since he became the prince for the past two years. The friction between the Hunter Empire and us in the northwest is also getting worse. So, all day long, he only thinks about reform. ”

Arrow nodded and said, "Reform? Isn't that a good thing? ”

Natalie sighed slightly, then said with a wry smile: "Reform is of course a good thing, but I often worry sometimes that he is in a hurry. ”

"Now that his father has not really returned to the throne, he is already a little impatient to move a lot of things. If nothing else, let's just talk about the guilds you run. He'd been talking about it all the time, why would you adventurers be the only ones who wanted to do the defense of the Empire? He also said that even the most remote Imperial frontier should be garrisoned by Imperial troops, and you adventurers should not be left to do the defense. ”

"In fact, everyone has been persuading him all along, saying that it is very cost-effective to shrink the empire's military spending and hand over the defense to you commercial guilds. Not to mention going directly to him, just finding the person on my side who wants me to blow the pillow wind to my husband, I know no less than ten. ”

"Alas...... However, he has always been very persistent, even a little tough. It is resolute to take back the defense power of the Empire. He also said that if you adventurers still want to do the work of adventurers, then join the Imperial Army and obey the management of the Imperial Army. If you don't want to, then disarm and return to the fields, go back to farming, and stop walking around with weapons in the name of adventurers. He also said that you adventurers are, to some extent, one of the unstable factors in society. ”

If Arrow wasn't running the Adventurer's Guild, then he would probably agree with this Crown Prince's idea!

Military power is a very important part of any country, and the fact that such an important power has allowed various localities to have their own defense rights because of the cost problem is itself full of hidden dangers.

But...... If you really want to take back military power, I'm afraid that the adventurer is not the real key factor.

"Does His Royal Highness still want to take back the military power of the lords in various places?"

Inadvertently, Arrow whispered.

At that moment, Arrow saw a flash of surprise and alertness on Natalie's face.
