Chapter 197: Finding Death (I)
"This is the Grand Duke of Lisbon, our God of Wealth, if it weren't for him, it is estimated that we would either die of brute beasts, or die of hunger" The Grand Duke of Lisbon in the mouth of the second prince is already very close to Odin, and Odin doesn't know if this sentence was deliberately said to Lisbon.
"Prince Stuart, have you been crying poor again lately? I remember that a large sum of money was allocated to you recently. Lisbon said with a smile.
"Lord Duke, where is this money enough, you must know that the war in the northwest is not enough for a legion to eat for a few days. The second prince said with a sad face.
"Hehe, second prince, you don't have to participate in the war in the northwest, how good it is to be a carefree prince, in this way, this money is enough for you to live happily for a year or two. ”
"The Grand Duke is laughing at me again, where is it that I don't want to quit, but I am afraid that some people's actions will reach the royal family if I quit now, and I don't dare to retreat, the Grand Duke should be considerate of me." ”
Hearing the second prince say this, Lisbon's expression froze, and then he smiled and said: "Which one is a thief who wants to harm the royal family, I will definitely let him eat and walk around." ”
"Eh, if I knew who it was, it would be easy to do it, just grab it and beat it first, and then pull it out to feed the pigs, but unfortunately I don't have any evidence until now, eh. ”
Odin on the side looked at Lisbon's expression, gloomy and terrible, although he was still expressionless, but if Odin was standing in front of him now not the second prince, but any other person, it is estimated that he would disappear forever now.
"Forget it, Grand Duke, let's not talk about this, since the drinking party has begun, I want to use it, after all, we also asked the best chef to make it. ”
The black-faced Grand Duke squeezed the special quilt in his hand tightly, and several cracks had already crept up.
"It's ......"
Hearing Odin's inquiry, the second prince gradually returned to normal
"This is one of the grand dukes who support the eldest prince, almost all the funds will pass through his hands, and the funds flowing to me are deducted by him I don't know how much, do you think I can take this opportunity to hack him well. ”
"There's still a magic time before the party officially begins, you take a look around, and I'll have to deal with my supporters too. ”
After speaking, the second prince walked to the young ladies who were staring at him, if he hadn't seen the scene in Empty Water City, it is estimated that Odin's impression of the second prince is still at the level of a playboy.
It's just that Odin is now free to move, and the guard armor he wears indicates his identity, and the people at the drinking party will not be interested in talking to him.
It's just that Odin's eyes swept and he saw someone he was familiar with.
Yun Fang and Noyce!
Walked over.
Sensing that someone was walking towards him, Yun Fang also subconsciously glanced at Odin.
"Ao ......" Just as Yun Fang blurted out, Odin gestured, and then stiffly restrained the urge to call Odin's full name.
"Hello Mr. Yun Fang, I'm Jason Bill, it's nice to meet you. ”
Jason ...... Hello Bill, how are you doing?"
Hearing his grandfather talking to others again, the eyes that were still swimming on the chests of the major ladies were also retracted.
As soon as he wanted to say hello to Odin, he was blocked by Odin's next words.
"It's okay, now I'll be a guard under the second prince, and I'll go to the northwest in a while. ”
"It seems that you have been in a constant adventure, and you have actually gone on an errand with the second prince. ”
Neuss, who was beside him, wanted to speak all the time, but he was blocked by his grandfather and didn't let him speak.
"How are the others?"
"It's good, the reconstruction of Kumu City has also been partially completed, due to the preferential treatment of the second prince, the number of people has begun to gather, and the deputy city lord misses you a lot. ”
As soon as he said this, a heavy bell rang out from the room, and the current emperor in a grand dress slowly walked out.
Odin whispered, "After the reception, let's find a place to have a good chat." ”
"Alright, Mr. Bill, we'll talk later. ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Odin walked to the side of the second prince.
Seeing that Odin was back, the second prince said, "I didn't expect you to know Yun Fang. ”
"I was more familiar with his grandson, and later with his grandfather. ”
"Well, listen to what my father has to say this time. ”
The emperor standing in front of the stage gently knocked on the crystal cup in his hand, and the lively environment of the scene slowly calmed down.
"Ahem"
"This time we have a regular cocktail party, I want to announce an important thing, these years, watching my children manage their own territory, I am also gratified, the tasks assigned to them are also very good, excellent completion, one of the most I like is the eldest prince and the second prince, one helps me straighten out the domestic finances, manage the people's livelihood, the other expands the territory, helps me calm the rebellion of the beasts in the northwest, brothers work together, but let our empire stabilize these years. ”
The guests around listened to the emperor's next words with bated breath, and they had a premonition that the peaceful drinking party of all these years would be broken after this drinking party.
"I would like to announce one thing at this reception, in a year I will pass my throne to Siris, and the two royal brothers will support him well and make our empire more prosperous. ”
Hearing His Majesty's words, everyone was stunned, what kind of trouble is this going to make?
Odin subconsciously looked at the second prince, only to see the corners of his mouth raised, as if he had guessed the idea behind his father's decision, and looked at the eyes of the second prince, and the smile that the eldest prince had originally smiled directly froze on his face, and it seemed that his father's decision had not received any news before.
Seeing that all the guests were silent, His Majesty smiled slightly and took the lead in applauding.
The guests around saw His Majesty's applause, and gradually followed the applause, but how many people's hearts set off turbulent waves.
"Father, why is this, shouldn't I be strong in Ciris, haven't I been maintaining the economic stability of this empire?" The eldest prince's somewhat angry tone made the smile on the second prince's face even worse.
Even the Grand Duke of Lisbon, who wanted to hold the Grand Prince on the side, was shaken off by the Grand Prince and took two steps back.
Seeing that his eldest son was the first to speak, His Majesty was silent for two seconds and said: "I see the efforts of you and your second brother, but you must know that the results of both of you are too good for me to choose, but it is precisely because of this that I chose the youngest Sirius as your assistant." ”
"Fart!" the eldest prince's words caused everyone present to exclaim.
Even Lisbon put down the crystal glass in his hand, wiped his mouth with the white Sijuan, and withdrew from the party.
"Is this your attitude towards your father?"
"Is that your attitude towards children?"
Two questions lowered the atmosphere of the reception to a freezing point.
