Volume 5 Days in the Sun 226, True Feelings and False Intentions
Jada didn't move, and Valfred III showed a meaningful "Duke, what's wrong?" Please come here? Without waiting for Jada to react, he had already strode to the front desk of the hall and said in a loud voice, "Guests, please be quiet!" I, Ambassador Shaonan, and Duke Jeda of Noga, and Prince Wisha, have something to announce! The people in the hall fell silent for a moment, and they all gave way to the several big men mentioned by the king, and then waited with curious eyes for the news they were about to announce
Jada scolded in his heart and hurriedly took a few steps forward: "Please wait a minute, there is no need to announce this matter in front of so many people, right?" As long as the representatives of several of our countries get together and discuss."
Valfred III looked surprised: "How could you say that?" Isn't it your Excellency who is proposing to be announced in public? ”
The little prince of Weisha also nodded a little eagerly, secretly glanced at the envoy of Shaonan, leaned in front of Jada, and whispered, "Cousin, have you forgotten?" Only if the matter is settled in front of everyone, those people can't stop it."
Jada secretly complained, he didn't expect that he used to deceive people, but instead put himself into it, at that moment, he thought a lot, and finally made up his mind, and said to Prince Wisha in a low voice: "The plan is too long to explain everything here, and if we really publish everything, what if someone obstructs and destroys it?" Just give you the general idea, and as for the treasure map, I'll send it to you myself later."
Prince Wisha was a little confused at first, but soon "understood" his true intentions, and looked at him with gratefulness: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I won't tell all my secrets!" ”
Jada gave him an encouraging smile and kindly led him to the front desk to stand with Walfred III and the other envoys
Waalfred III had already noticed the interaction between him and Prince Wisha, frowned slightly, and regained his smile: "Everyone is here, shall we begin?" ”
The queen gently tugged at the corner of his shirt and whispered: "Selig hasn't arrived yet" He said casually: "It's okay, it's enough to have Heyt" The queen's face turned white, and she pulled the corner of his shirt again with grief The king gently broke away from her hand, and said loudly with a smile: "I believe everyone has heard that His Royal Highness the little prince of Wisa intends to rebuild the country, although we are not neighbors in East, and there have been several unpleasant conflicts on the top, but we are also a member of this continent, in the face of the invasion of the Demon Domain, We've also worked together to defend ourselves against the enemy! Each of us should play a part in the reconstruction of Wissha! ”
The crowd applauded in agreement, and Warfred III waved them to stop, and continued: "Shaonan and Van Abdul have promised to help, and Noga has a suicide note from the late King of Wisha!" According to Duke Jeda, there is already a complete plan for the reconstruction of the country in the suicide note! I believe this will be of great help to our work! He turned to Jada, "Your Excellency the Duke, can you show that suicide note so that you can appreciate the foresight and wisdom of the late King of Wisha?" ”
Everyone's eyes were on Jada, and if it was someone else, he would have broken out in a cold sweat, but Jada was not sure, he had already thought of a countermeasure, no matter what, he had to maintain the dignity of Nuojiadi
Jada smiled and said unhurriedly to everyone: "The letter is in me, but I think it is too precious, if everyone is allowed to read it, it will ruin this handwritten book, as for the content, because it is too long, I will briefly introduce it" He turned back and patted Prince Wisha on the shoulder: "Cousin, your father wrote in his suicide note that you will be the next king of Wisha, and your uncle is responsible for teaching you to handle government affairs... The God of Light is above him, and he has unfortunately passed away, unable to fulfill this duty—if anyone questions your qualifications, you can speak out against him! ”
Prince Wisha's eyes lit up, he thought that his dead father would not do this, but he did not expect that he was really the rightful heir to the throne! I knew he wouldn't do anything to his uncle...
Jada added: "The letter mentions a number of land and possessions that the royal family has accumulated over the years, as well as weapons and food storage locations, which you can use to rebuild the government structure, and most importantly, to bring the people who fled the war back to their own country, I believe they will help you a lot, we Nuojia can lend you a batch of food, horses and building materials, I think Shaonan will provide similar help, right?" ”
The Shaonan envoy nodded expressionlessly, glancing lightly at Prince Wisha
"Shaonan's suggestion to rebuild the land from Anke City is very reasonable, it is relatively rich in materials and close to the real estate grain area in the south of Weisha, and your father's land suicide note also mentions this, but at the same time, he also thinks that Mengli is very important, it is not far from West, and the capital must not be abandoned."
Prince Wisha nodded repeatedly: "I think so too!" In fact, I have sent someone back to investigate, and the damage to Wisdom is not too serious, only a few houses have collapsed in the palace, but it is a little dirty, and I need to ask the monks of the Cult of Light to clean it up."
The envoy nodded faintly: "The bishop has already mentioned it, let's go"
"That's great!" Jada took over, "Then let's do both at the same time!" Cousin, you are in charge of the work in the south, and it is more convenient for the people to return to the country, and it is more convenient to go to the south, but the grain is very important, and when the south is harvested, you must remember to transport the grain to the north and I will help you supervise the construction of the project in the north, you only need to come and see it every two or three months, I have done similar work after the war, and I already have experience."
The little prince of Wisha looked at him gratefully, but hesitated a little: "This... May I? You've done me such a great favor..."
"Say what? Our two countries are brothers! Even to exterminate the demonic beasts, they also fought together! Rebuild your home, of course, together! Jada said righteously, but he was unaverse when he heard a sentence from Valfred III: "Do you want to rebuild only these two places?" I don't think it's good for the little prince to control the whole country only once every two or three months, right? ”
An unknown light flashed in Jada's eyes, and he said with a smile: "How come? That's what the late King of Wisha meant."
Prince Wisha hurriedly said: "I think so too, my father thinks the same as me, so let's do it!" ”
Jada smiled, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the Shaonan envoy looked at the friendship between their two "cousins" with a smile, and a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes; Brahman-A'a represents meditation without squinting; The envoys of Kameca whispered to their subordinates
Valfred III glanced at Jada a few times, and was vigilant in his heart: this duke is not very old, but he is very sophisticated, ordinary people have long panicked when they encounter this situation, he can still fight for the greatest interests of his country, it is really not simple, what he said just now, on the surface, it seems that he is just repeating the old topic, and there is no practical meaning, but every sentence is exactly what Prince Wisha wants, even if the truth of his lost letter is exposed in the future, this little prince will not accuse anything, I am afraid that he will be grateful that he did not publish the true letter, right?
Valfred III took a sip of wine and looked at his eldest son beside him, could Heyt, who had always been too weak, protect the country well?
The night ended in a lot of talk, and the people were not impressed by Prince Wisha's quest to rebuild the country, but they were more concerned about another thing, that is, after the second prince Selig almost categorically rejected Princess Noga, Princess Sarah's marriage to Duke Jada seemed to become very likely, although the young nobles were frustrated by the loss of the title of husband of Princess Sarah, but the thought that the princess of their country was about to become the future queen of Nogar, everyone was excited about the barbarous country in the north, Always want to start a war against East, wait for the princess of Easter to become their queen, and regenerate their future king, to see if they will be so arrogant!
Jada scoffed at the idea
The blonde and blue-eyed princess was indeed quite beautiful, but she was just an ordinary girl, neither wise nor necessarily strong, how could she be his wife? Even if he did accept the marriage and give birth to a male offspring with her, that child would not be recognized by the Nogars, unless he could completely abandon his relationship with East!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of another girl, Minter's cousin, who was the same age as Princess East, but when Sarah only knew how to spoil her father and brother, and didn't care about anything except the dance costume, she had already left home with her cousin, and was born and died as a spy in a foreign country, is it true that the descendants of Count Shaw are so extraordinary?
No, he had met several of Earl Shaw's other grandchildren, the eldest was not bad, but there was nothing outstanding about it, and the others could not compare to Minter!
It's a pity that Minter is dead, and if he were still here, he might not be so lonely...
Jada shook his head, trying to put aside this ingrained thought, and repeatedly told himself not to think about the impossible
But... What if it's Minter's cousin?
Jada was stunned for a moment, and then began to think about the possibility of this matter, although Minna didn't seem to be very kind to herself, but after all, she was Minter's cousin, unlike other girls, she was very strong, she knew how to do magic and magic, and she knew that Minter would, and she was still a girl, which was even more amazing! If she can be like Minte, stand by her side and help herself, then...
"Your Excellency, the embassy has arrived" A subordinate voice came from outside the carriage, interrupting Jada's musings, he paused, and replied in a deep voice: "I know"
After getting out of the car, he habitually glanced around, and suddenly noticed that his cousin Stella's carriage was missing from the back of the convoy: "What's the matter?" What about Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”
The subordinate was taken aback, and hurriedly ran over to ask, only to come back and report: "The princess received an invitation from a friend to visit the young lady's house, and said that she would be back soon."
Jada's face sank: "The dance party is over, who else will invite someone home as a guest at such a late hour?!" ”
The subordinate lowered his head and did not dare to answer, and Jada also knew that he was innocent, so he had to confess
When Stella comes back, tell her to come to me! After taking two steps, he stopped thinking again, and after a while, he whispered to the secretary Preth: "Go and check, who does Stella usually associate with, she always says that she is going out to make an appointment, I originally thought it was the second prince of East, but now it seems very suspicious that she usually goes out, where she went, find out for me!" ”
Little did Stella know that her cousin had become suspicious of her whereabouts, and she was now putting on a well-behaved appearance, trying to show the people in front of her the results of her work in the past half hour
Alben looked at the flowers, candlesticks, delicate pastries, wines, and crystal cups on the table expressionlessly, and just said lightly: "Isn't this candlestick in my room?" You came into my room? ”
Stella was a little depressed: "Uncle butler went to get it, can't you?" I wouldn't be so rude! ”
Alben's face warmed up a little: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness Princess, my butler is so incompetent" He knows what the butler is thinking, isn't it just to eliminate him from finding a lifelong partner as soon as possible? He said that he would let his mother pay attention, why should the housekeeper worry about this?! What's more, no matter who he is looking for, it will never be the princess in front of him! He should have told the butler her true identity!
Stella's face was full of grievances, and her small mouth pouted: "I know what you're in!" But now it's different! You didn't go to the ball tonight, so I don't know that Your Royal Highness has already asked Xiao in public... Miss Manda of the Kado family proposed, and your king blessed them, so I won't marry the second prince without my business, on the contrary, your princess Sarah is likely to become my cousin-in-law Now, you can accept me, right? ”
Alben was not surprised by her words, what happened at the palace ball had been reported to the Department of Security for the first time, he was on duty tonight, and he had already read the information that he did not accept Stella, not entirely for this reason, but more importantly, the Hedda family had been charged with colluding with Noga to betray the country, and he could not let this charge become true
Therefore, in the face of Stella's gaze, he could only twist his head: "It's late, you shouldn't stay here, please go back"
Stella's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she looked at him pitifully, but he just looked at the red wax dripping from the candlestick, and said nothing
There was a soft knock on the door of the living room, and the voice of Stella's maid was heard: "Your Highness, it's not too early, we should go back"
Stella's eyes suddenly changed, she raised her head coldly, and said, "Since you refuse to accept it, then I won't force it, don't think that I will kneel in front of you and beg for your affection!" She strode out, and departed, accompanied by her maid
Alben was a little surprised by her change of attitude, but it was exactly what he wanted, so he didn't stop it, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the butler didn't regret it: "Oh, young master! So a beautiful young lady, how can you bear to refuse her? Don't you see the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes?! ”
He really didn't see it
Alben glared at the butler angrily, "You were eavesdropping outside just now, right?" That's what you're supposed to do?! ”
"Of course not!" The housekeeper flatly denied it, "The maid said that her mistress was not shy, and if she was rejected again, I would be embarrassed to surpass them, so I walked away and the maid didn't eavesdrop, she had been waiting at the staircase just now."
"I don't care about any of this, I say it again, this young lady has a special status, and it is by no means that the person I am qualified to marry as a wife will choose her to come back next time, you can politely invite her to tea, don't let her do anything!" Looking at the supper on the table, Alben felt a little headache, "You've always been very cautious, why do you treat Stella like this... Cordial? ”
"My young master Elborn" the butler's eyes were full of kindness, "you have had a hard time, I can make you feel more relaxed, that young lady is very beautiful and energetic, she may make you happy"
"My happiness can only depend on myself, no one can give it" Alborn turned and walked out, "Prepare me hot water, I want to bathe"
“… Yes, young master."
Alben went upstairs and went back to his room, only to feel that his mind was a mess of the past, he was also a boy who liked to be close to beautiful girls, and he also had carefree years, but that was all gone now, for the sake of the family, he had to be strict with himself, even if he was working hard behind him, and his mother and brother, sister-in-law and nieces, and everyone in the Hedda family's territory, he couldn't relax
He habitually lifted the floor compartment next to the bed, trying to take out his diary and write down his day's experiences and thoughts as usual, but suddenly retreated
The inconspicuous dull pattern on the floor tile seemed to be reversed, but he clearly remembered that he had placed the floor tiles correctly last night
Could it be that ... Has anyone touched this brick?
