Chapter 558: Quarrel and Hesitation (Ask for Subscription Collection Recommendation)

Door inside.

The big toad, sitting on the throne, took the feather of the Sphinx that the little prince Liszt had disappeared with its webbed paws and put it in its mouth.

As soon as I chewed, there was an endless murmur and a dazzling golden light coming out of the feathers.

In a few moments, the whole feather was swallowed into the stomach by the large toad with the crown on its head.

Behind it, a huge golden balance phantom appeared, and dazzling golden light floated on it, and the phantom of the balance also became a little more solid.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hansel returned to the surface with Prince Liszt.

The strange mist dissipated, and the mysterious floor door, as if it had suddenly appeared, suddenly vanished.

Normal people are generally scared when they see a talking toad, and they will feel nervous even if they are not good.

But the little prince Liszt, who lacks heart, will not.

He happily told Hansel how precious the carpet in his hand was, and how good the quality was, but when Hansel asked him about the situation in the room, he was a little unimpressed, and casually talked about the scene inside, and talked about the beauty of the carpet in his hand.

Hansel looked thoughtful, and his mouth was full of unmatched matches.

Slowly, the little prince Liszt also saw Hansel's perfunctory, so he didn't say more, but grabbed the carpet in his hand.

For him, this is the future.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Although he is an underappreciated little prince, he still has some privileges, such as the fact that he can bring Hansel into the throne hall of the royal palace.

To the surprise of the little prince Liszt, there were already quite a few people in the entire throne hall.

The majestic and growing old King Philip sat on the Iron Throne, holding a jewel-encrusted stick in his right hand and was silent.

Below him, Prince Charles and Prince Ferret stood on either side, each holding a woolen carpet of rough workmanship, deformed patterns, and messy lines.

The two princes looked at each other's carpets, their eyes full of disdain and sarcasm.

On either side of the two princes, there stood a number of aristocratic people dressed in aristocratic service and their faces covered with various powders, some of which were seductively dyed with purple eyeshadow.

These nobles, with reserved and distant smiles on their faces, looked like poisonous snakes coiled up in a snake array.

And this ukiyo-e-like picture was ruthlessly crushed with the arrival of the little prince Liszt.

Everyone's eyes were firmly attracted by the carpet in the hands of the little prince Liszt, revealing a stunning color.

Old King Philip was amazed, but his eyes also flashed with surprise.

He understands his son, who is a guy who does things by the rules and is even a little rigid.

Since he has set the rules and scope for him, this youngest child will only do things within the boundary.

And the old king knew that the area where the feather fell was empty, and there was not even a single wool.

However, the eyes of the scene were not only amazing.

Prince Charles and Prince Ferrette were the first to react, because both of them were directly interested parties, and the two of them looked at their younger brother with resentment in their eyes.

Neither of them wanted to miss out on the throne, and then they were rewarded with a piece of land that was either rich or barren, and then they had to leave the prosperous royal capital under the name of a viscount or baron.

This is a scene that the two princes absolutely do not want to see.

In front of this throne, there is no affection, and there is no loyalty.

Little Prince Liszt was so happy that he didn't see the jealousy in the eyes of his two dear brothers.

The nobles next to him watched with a deliberate attitude, and none of them took action, and the two princes could only watch as Little Prince Liszt walked to the front of the throne and respectfully presented the exquisite carpet with both hands, "My Majesty, I am here with the gift of the Lord of Light!" ”

In the Kingdom of Svak, in private, the prince can directly address the king and queen as father and mother, but in formal occasions, it must be called "my majesty" or "my majesty the queen".

The old king of Philip frowned, and gestured to the entourage next to him, and the attendant with a stern expression suddenly understood, walked up to the little prince Liszt, took his carpet, and sent it to the old king.

Looking at this carpet up close, he discovered the beauty of this carpet even more, and the old king Philip was moved, and said in disbelief, "Liszt, where did you get the carpet?" ”

"My Majesty, I found this carpet from the area you assigned to me." The little prince Liszt replied respectfully.

"It can't be!" Prince Charles vetoed loudly, jealousy making his face ugly and his eyes red.

Old King Philip glanced at Prince Charles unhappily, which instantly made His Royal Highness the Grand Prince sober up, his whole body was cold, and he barely showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and defended himself, "Your Majesty, I am just puzzled by Liszt's answer. ”

"You should know that in the places where Liszt is assigned, there are leaves except weeds."

"Humph! Of course, Prince Charles, I am not old enough to be reminded of it, and I know that there are no shepherdesss girls in Liszt's area, and there are no strange carpets of coarse wool. Old King Philip said with a blank face.

Prince Charles's face flushed at once, for his carpet had been snatched from a thin shepherdess.

The strange rule set by King Philip the Elder, in addition to giving them directions with feathers, must also rely on his own wisdom, courage and strength.

The meaning of this sentence is that you can't use power, you can't use money, and then you can find the best carpet in the world for the old king.

At first, Prince Charles was unreaping, and as time passed, Prince Charles became more and more anxious, and just then he met a shepherdess, and as a last resort, Prince Charles, with his strong physique, came into play - snatched the best carpet from the shepherdess in her house.

This did not go against the wishes of the old king, and Prince Charles felt that he had used his strength and wisdom and, of course, courage.

Prince Charles returned with his head held high, and the suspicious Prince Ferret also got the news from his confidants, so in order not to let Prince Charles seize the opportunity, he also quickly got a carpet.

However, unlike Prince Charles's plunder, Prince Ferret used his handsome appearance and aristocratic status to make a daydreaming shepherd's daughter willingly offer her own carpet.

Of course, what they did was seen by the spies sent by the old king Philip, and then reported it to the old king in its entirety.

While the two princes, each with their own means, were scrambling to offer the carpet that they had taken by their own ingenuity, the old king Philip casually said the names of the shepherdess and asked them how they were doing.

Immediately made the two princes red-faced.

However, "shyness" is "shyness", and the two princes will not be "shy" in the struggle for the throne, anyway, they are now "half a catty and eight taels", and now they are "each by their own means".

But this is based on the fact that the little prince Liszt did not come out to stir up the situation.

Originally, Prince Charles and Prince Ferret thought that Prince Liszt would have been out of the game early, after all, that area was really "hairless".

But where there is "no hair", such a beautiful carpet has been brought out!

How can this be acceptable to the two princes?

Of course, he bravely stood up and refuted it.

Although the old king was mercilessly sarcastic about his eldest son, he was also skeptical that the little prince Liszt could come up with such a beautiful carpet, and a hesitant look appeared on his face, and the entourage next to him suddenly understood, and called a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary figure to come to the king.

"Tell me, where did Liszt's carpet come from?" King Philip asked.

As soon as the problem came out, Prince Charles and Prince Ferret were also very concerned.

"Your Majesty, found in the area assigned to His Royal Highness the Prince." The middle-aged man replied calmly.

"You're lying?" The grumpy Prince Charles couldn't help but point at the middle-aged man and yelled.

The middle-aged man still looked calm, as the intelligence leader that the old king relied on the most, he had his own confidence, as long as Prince Charles was still just a prince, not a king.

Old King Philip smacked his cane heavily and looked at Prince Charles with disappointed eyes, "Charles......"

"Father, I'm just ......" Prince Charles bowed his head.

"Can you please be quiet?" Old King Philip asked coldly.

"Father...... All right! Prince Charles wanted to say something, but he had to keep his mouth shut as he looked at the old king's disappointed eyes.

Prince Freette was on the side, and although he didn't say anything, his face was also terrifyingly gloomy!

"Go on!" Old King Philip set his eyes on the middle-aged man.

"At first, His Royal Highness Prince Liszt was climbing trees and looking for tree holes, but there was no gain."

"At that time, His Royal Highness Prince Liszt already had the idea of giving up, and it was this adventurer who called himself Hansel who encouraged His Royal Highness with words." The middle-aged man suddenly looked at Hansel, who had been like a transparent person since he came in.

The eyes of all the nobles looked at Hansel, and the meaning in their eyes was unclear.

Old King Philip also glanced at Hansel.

And the eyes of the two princes, looking at Hansell, were simply full of hatred.

Hansel looked unmoved.

"His Royal Highness Prince Liszt, after being encouraged, began to dig a hole in the ground, and dug for several days, until today, a burst of fog suddenly appeared, and then quickly disappeared, and at this time, the little prince Liszt had this carpet in his hand."

When the middle-aged man said this, Hansel's eyes moved, he remembered that they had not been in the ground for a short time, how could it become an instant in the middle-aged man's mouth?

There's got to be weird.

"If there is no devil to do anything, then this carpet is dug out of the ground by Prince Liszt."

"Maybe someone buried such a luxurious carpet in the ground, and His Royal Highness the Prince was lucky enough to dig it up."

The middle-aged man guessed.

"No, this is a gift from the Lord of Light, Your Majesty." Little Prince Liszt hurriedly said.

"Hansel once said to me that if you ask the Lord of Light for help, it means that you believe in the power of the Lord, and if the Lord of Light does not help you, then it means that the Lord of Light believes in your power. Father, you see, this is the gift of the Light to me for my faith. ”

"This carpet is indeed what I got from the ground." The little prince Liszt said conclusively that he was not lying.

Hearing Hansel's philosophical words, not only the old king, but even a priesthood bishop of the Holy Light next to the king, who was wearing a bishop's sacrificial robe and had a more transcendent status, all looked sideways at Hansel.

The bishop of the Holy Light stood up and said to the old king in a slightly proud tone, "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness Prince Liszt said is true. ”

There is magic in the Holy Light Church to see if the other party is lying!

After saying this, the bishop stood back.

The old king hurriedly thanked him, then looked at the carpet in his hand repeatedly, sighed, and then said to the three princes, "The rules are the same, but the results are very different. ”

"To be fair, the throne should go to Liszt!"

Little Prince Liszt couldn't help but smirk on his face, but the other two princes, Prince Charles and Prince Ferrett, quarreled and fell out.

They counted all kinds of strange things that the little prince Liszt had done, and accused Liszt of not thinking through everything and not being fit to be a "king".

Because of historical reasons in the past, some nobles also had a little unpleasant experience with the little prince Liszt, so they also stood up and euphemistically expressed their opinions, that is, they were not optimistic about the little prince.

This society is not the feudal society in William's previous life, where the king was in power.

Behind these talking aristocrats, behind them are powerful fiefdom real power families, dictators who grasp the military, administration, and finance, even if they are kings, they have to consider their opinions.

The king hesitated, and in all fairness, he was not optimistic about his youngest son either.

His goal has always been to his eldest son and second son.

He just didn't expect that the answers handed over by the eldest prince and the second prince would be so bad that he couldn't do it if he wanted to.

At this time, Prince Ferret said that the first time was because he was not ready, and he could not fully show his ability just by looking for a carpet, so he asked the king to re-evaluate.

Prince Liszt, of course, did not want to, and he could not speak, so he kept emphasizing there, saying that he was a winner.

His tough attitude and blunt way of speaking made the old king feel a little unhappy in his heart, and at the same time, he was also worried about whether the little prince would be able to manage the country well after he became king.

I had a headache for a long time, and there was no result in the meeting hall.

King Philip got off the donkey and said that he would go back and think about it, and that he would give the answer to-morrow.

Prince Liszt left in a sullen voice, but the other two princes saw an opportunity.
