37 The Cultivation of Ambition
Daniel glanced at Princess Seuss, who was more abnormal today, a little strangely, and continued to listen to Prince Mithril.
The Mithril Prince suddenly looked at Daniel and said, "Do you know? The princess of a kingdom, his husband, must be a kingdom, a prince, or a great nobleman, or a high-level powerful wizard, not a low-level nobleman, let alone a knight or an ordinary person. ”
"Huh?" Daniel wondered why the Mithril Prince was so strange today.
"So what?" asked Daniel.
"This is a piece of inheritance that I have laid down with my own strength, discarding all my identity and glory. The Mithril Prince looked at his surroundings and spoke slowly with a hint of remembrance and grief.
"Now that I have resumed my status as a prince, all the guards have followed me back to the royal capital. But I don't want to waste the foundation here, after all, this represents the place I used to work towards, and I want you to take over. The Mithril Prince finally spoke, stating his purpose.
Hearing this, Daniel waved his hand again and again and said, "I can't do this job." ”
Daniel's refusal suddenly made Princess Seuss's face turn pale.
A hint of discoloration flashed in the Mithril Prince's eyes, but he quickly thought of something, and his tone was very gentle, with a hint of softness, and Daniel said, "Do you know what happens to a person who has no identity, or is just a free citizen or a lord, in any Terran kingdom, when he sees a nobleman?"
Daniel shook his head and listened quietly, knowing that the Mithril Prince would ask this, and there must be something to follow.
"People who do not have the status of nobility have to kneel down when they see nobles, and in some places, they even ask their wives to accompany them, and in some places, after seeing nobles, they must kiss the ground where they walk with their mouths and kiss the shoes of nobles, which is an honor. The Mithril Prince said slowly.
"What did you say?" Daniel stood up with a flame burning in his eyes, and pointed to his nose, "Let me kneel and kiss the ground he walked on." The soles of the shoes of the pro-nobles are all a kind of glory? I go to the glory of his grandmother, believe it or not, Lao Tzu pinched them to death, divided them into eight sections, and let them taste eight different ways of death before they died?"
Regarding Daniel's impulsive and fiery actions, the Mithril Prince did not say anything, but said lightly: "Then do you know? In the Terran excesses, the Holy See that believes in the God of Light is the dominant family, and the nobles and knightly bloodlines in all the human kingdoms on the entire continent have a unified front in some matters in order to resist the oppression and interests of the Holy See. ”
"A united front, for example?" Daniel asked, seizing on the message that the Mithril Prince was trying to convey.
"For example, the nobles of the Seuss Kingdom, in other Terran countries, will also enjoy the treatment of nobles, and even if they are captured, they can pay a ransom to redeem their lives and weapons. For example, a criminal who harms a nobleman in a certain kingdom of a human race, even if he escapes to another kingdom, will become a criminal, and once discovered, he will also be caught, and sent to the nobles and the laws of the kingdom to be punished. The Mithril Prince whispered.
"Do you mean that if I hurt a nobleman casually, and I still hurt a nobleman as a free citizen, a lord, or even a black household without status, then I can't stay in all the kingdoms of the Terrans, because all the kingdoms of the Terrans will want me?" said Daniel, frowning.
And that's just part of the aristocratic united front, and there are many, many more. The Mithril Prince continued.
"It's unfair. Daniel cursed hatefully.
"Fair?" Prince Mithril suddenly chuckled, and with a hint of remembrance, he slowly spoke, "This world is very fair, and this world is very unfair. For the royal family and aristocracy, the so-called fairness is just a means. He's just a concept, a tool. What's more, knights have power, and they contain noble blood, which is very unfair and fair to other ordinary people. ”
Daniel looked at the chuckling Mithril Prince, then suddenly looked up and said, "You want me to be a nobleman, join you, be one of you?"
Daniel's mind spun quickly, and he quickly understood why the Mithril Prince had suddenly said so much today.
"Yes, only if you become a nobleman, and a powerful lord, a big nobleman, can you marry my sister, Princess Seuss, and our family will not be disgraced. If you are an ordinary person without nobility, whether it is a freeman or a lord, if my sister insists on marrying you, then she will be stripped of her princess status and become a woman of any status. Don't say anything that is not easy, when a nobleman comes to your house, you have to contribute your wife, so that the nobleman will not find an excuse to kill you. Prince Mithril's words not only made Daniel's eyes flash with a cold light, but also made Princess Suss next to him even pale, and there was not a trace of blood on his face.
Daniel wants to say, why should I marry your sister, or why does your sister have to marry me.
But these words were only passed through in his mouth, and he did not say them, and then he was silent for a long time, and after thinking for a moment, he said to the Mithril prince in a sullen voice: "Say whatever plan you have, don't lead me by the nose step by step." I hate this feeling the most, if you continue, it's a big deal that I'll just leave, go away, incognito, I don't believe it, you can find me, the worst, I can live in the wilderness, I will never starve to death, and I will still live for the rest of my life. ”
"You're a wizard. This time, the Mithril Prince really took off all his disguises, and his eyes shone brightly, like a greedy man who saw gold all over the ground, and his spirit was in a relatively high state.
"In my perception, a wizard like you is not only powerful, but also has great potential, and it is unlimited in the future. We, my father, mother, and the whole royal family, want to keep you, so we don't hesitate to use my sister as bait, hoping that you will become our family for your own home, and we will work together to make us stronger. The Mithril Prince spoke, finally stating their plans and purpose.
"So, you're going to sacrifice the happiness of a princess to entrap a powerful subordinate in the future?" Daniel asked rhetorically, with a hint of disgust in his tone.
"No one will sacrifice my sister's happiness. Neither my father nor my mother, nor can our entire royal family. I can tell, my sister, her eyes are all about you. Instead of marrying a nobleman who she doesn't love and people don't love him in the future, and the two sides are combined, just a combination of family interests, it is better to find someone she loves directly. In this way, even if I regret it in the future, and the two of you are separated, the rest of my sister's life will not be so bad. The Mithril Prince said slowly.
"You've managed to make me dizzy. Daniel shook his head with a smile and said: "What the specific plan, you can tell me clearly, I can do it, if I can't do it, I'll leave." ”
"My father already knows which witch hunter spell mages and grass test spell potions have flowed from you, and I hope that you, a powerful wizard in the future, can join this chariot of ours and join our side. Therefore, after I left here, I gathered together the cliff village, the dew drop camp, and the large tract of land in the vicinity into a baron's domain, and issued a noble document with your name and signature, appointing you to become the real baron of the nearby territory. Congratulations, you have become a baronial nobleman in the kingdom of Seuss. Prince Mithril said softly, and Princess Seuss next to him took out the noble documents from a nearby drawer, as well as the certificate issued by the Holy See with noble blood, and placed them on the table.
"From a black household with no identity, a black household who is not even as good as a lord and a free man, he actually crossed the knight, sir, and lord in an instant, and became a baron. It's not in order. Even the king of the kingdom can't trample on the rules like this, right?" Daniel said as he carefully read the aristocratic papers, his tone questioning.
"If it's really a black household, it's naturally impossible, but your identity, the kingdom has long been prepared, every year the nobles have a new identity, your identity, has always existed, there are backups in the Holy See, noble family background, knightly strength, after a few years of experience, inherited the title of the family, inherited the baron, not only legal, but also legitimate. Prince Mithril spoke rightly, and his tone was full of reason.
Daniel looked at the paperwork, sure enough, it was the blank identity they had prepared in advance, and sighed, the royal family, the nobles, it was really different, everything was mentioned and considered.
Daniel gave a thumbs up.
"When are you leaving?" asked Daniel.
"When we enter the season of fire, we leave. The Mithril Prince said.
"Oh, it's best to leave in the summer. Not only will it give me enough time for you to help me sort out my entire territory, but I will also be able to leave without so much danger. Daniel nodded.
"So, now as the ruler of the entire realm, Lord Baron, do you have any specific plans for your realm now?" asked the Mithril Prince with a smile.
"I don't have any plans. Let's talk about this winter first. Isn't there your staffing here? I just need to be in charge as a supreme force, right? Aren't there your professional personnel for specific management matters?" Daniel said nonchalantly.
Princess Seuss wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it.
"A lord of real power, a baron nobleman, at least have his own team, otherwise, it is easy to be hollowed out and become an empty nobleman," Prince Mithril said with a frown.
"Well, take your time in this matter, don't rush. Aren't you still going to stay here? We'll have plenty of time to find talent. Daniel said with a smile.
"Time flies quickly, you still have to worry a lot, after all, it's your own territory, if you don't do it, it will be digested by the entire aristocratic circle. The Mithril Prince said with a hint of Daniel.
"Is it okay for you to go, but also for her (Princess Seuss)? Isn't she going to marry me? What will matter if she leaves?" asked Daniel rhetorically.
Hearing Daniel say this, Princess Seuss's face immediately turned red.
"Do you think the Baroness is good, or is it the Countess, or even the Duke's Grand Duke?" the Mithril Prince laughed without a trace.
"It seems that I still have a long way to go in this task. Daniel said with a smile.
"Okay, you can take the things first, my room is defenseless, it's not safe, it was stolen by thieves, isn't it beautiful?
"Is it the first time I've seen someone who doesn't care about nobility at this age?" said Prince Mithril with a smile.
"Anything else?" asked Daniel.
"No, this is the most important thing, and it has been successfully solved so far!" said the Mithril Prince with a smile.
"Since it's okay, I guess you've been tired for the past two days, I'll go back first, and you can rest and rest. Daniel said, turning and leaving.
Princess Seuss glanced at Prince Mithril and walked over quickly, like a little daughter-in-law, following behind Daniel, following in unison, and then lifted the door and sent Daniel away.
When he waited to walk to the door of the room, after coming out, Daniel turned around, and then looked at Princess Seuss carefully from top to bottom, and said with a hint of praise: "Today's you are the most beautiful since I met you." ”
Princess Suss's face was still a little flushed, but her demeanor was also a little let go because she didn't have her brother, and said generously: "I promise, if we really become a family, we will be even more beautiful than today." ”
Daniel laughed and turned to leave.
Princess Seuss stood in the doorway and waited until Daniel's figure was completely gone, then closed the door and entered the room.
"Gone?" Prince Mithril asked, looking at his sister.
Princess Seuss nodded, a hint of joy on her face.
"Let's hope he doesn't live up to our expectations of him. The Mithril Prince drank slowly, whispering, softly.
"I'm sure he won't. Princess Suss said very confidently.
"Hopefully, but we'll have to be prepared a lot of hands, just in case. The Mithril Prince said.
"And watch out for the people in the house. Princess Seuss reminded with a smile.
"Yes, be careful with your family. No, they are not our family, they are just our kindred, they are outsiders, not family, we must be careful, one capsizing is enough, not a second capsizing. With a hint of hatred, the Mithril Prince said slowly, taking a sip of the water from the cup.
After sitting here for a while and saying a few words, the Mithril Prince left.
