But the years of being neglected all year round also honed John's temperament, making him appear precocious and urban.

His treatment of people is almost impeccable, except for the natural sharp character of the eldest princess Sophia, the other princesses did not even notice his faint rejection, and even the little princess Lilia, who was most doted on by the emperor, regarded him as a good brother.

This time, the news of the Royal Frieze Ayim, which had been sent by Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to welcome back the chosen colt, was transmitted to John's ears from the little princess.

For John, he has no interest in the colt, but he values the hidden things behind it, according to some rules of the royal heir, the qualifications of the successor candidates are generally officially determined in fact after marriage, although Sophia has the status of a candidate before, and has always been valued by His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty has repeatedly entrusted her with important tasks, and she has also done a good job, and there are many praises inside and outside the government and the opposition, but singleness is a hidden danger, after all, the empire of the heir system, The continuation of future generations is a great guarantee of stability.

What makes John reluctant to admit is that Sophia's ability is quite good, and it is not unreasonable to be able to compete with the eldest prince, but he is still unconvinced, he thinks that if he has the same background and is a man, he will only do better than Sophia in that position, out of jealousy and another kind of scheming, he decided to destroy Sophia's marriage.

As a candidate for the heir to the royal family, marriage has attracted much attention, generally speaking, the other party will not choose people with too high status, especially those who are in high positions in the empire or hold heavy power, so as not to be suppressed by the emperor's jealousy, such as the wife of the eldest prince Andrei III, who is a commoner on a planet near the galaxy, met Andrei III during a travel, and the two fell in love at first sight and made a private decision for life, and this was finally blessed by His Majesty the Emperor and held a grand wedding for them.

This time Sophia chose an ordinary person on a planet whose name John had never heard of, although he wondered how Her Royal Highness the eldest princess could know about such a remote and remote planet, and how could she have anything to do with the people there, but after this matter was reported to His Majesty the Emperor, it had been allowed, although John knew that even if he destroyed this time, there would be a next time and a next time, but the time could be delayed a little bit, and it was also beneficial to his secret schemes, so he made a decisive move.

However, he was very clever to clean himself up, and he did not play any important role in it, even if the matter was leaked in the future and he would be held responsible, he would not be chased to his head.

Recently, he has been in a pretty good mood, he has received the news, this time things are going well, and the crisis can be temporarily resolved.

"Brother Jiu, what are you thinking, so distracted?"

"Huh?" John came back to his senses and saw that it was the emperor's pearl little princess Lilia, and the smile on her face was even deeper, completely the image of a good brother who doted on his sister, "Why are you here?" ”

Lilia's fair-skinned, wavy, shoulder-length hair accentuated her small and delicate pink cheeks, and she had a pair of aqua blue eyes that seemed to be filled with water at all times, which could easily make people feel pity and love in those who saw it.

John also looked at her dotingly, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart, damn Edgar, he couldn't even see the door, and let this guy run in again, fortunately he was just thinking about things, otherwise there would be a big problem.

For Lilia, he is also a lot of jealousy, Lilia is actually somewhat similar to his background, both of them are mothers who died in childbirth, and the status of the mother's family is not high, but Lilia has been lively and cute since she was a child, clever and funny, and it seems that because of the very similarity in appearance to the emperor's deceased biological mother, the emperor spoiled her, and even allowed her to enter and leave the dormitory and the government hall at will, which is a treatment that the eldest prince and the eldest princess do not have, and naturally got the deep jealousy from John, He felt that Lilia should live the same lonely life as himself, and he might be able to provide her with a haven from the wind and rain, but the reality was that Lilia was the one who could provide him with help and protection.

However, on the surface, John and Lilia get along very well, and have always been very good-tempered, this little princess who is sometimes naughty and mischievous like a witch who makes people smell inside and outside the palace, only in front of him will be a little restrained and become much more well-behaved, probably because he feels that this ninth brother and himself are "sympathetic".

The little princess is innocent and romantic, and her emotions are undisguised, and John can naturally detect her thoughts, which also makes his heart even more tingling, so he doesn't need the hypocritical sympathy and pity of these people!

"My little angel is still charging on the Ayim, they haven't come back yet, it's inconvenient for me to travel now, I'm bored to death." At this point, Lilia couldn't help but pout, looking a little frustrated.

John didn't think it was strange that little Nizi was often left behind, and he sometimes played the role of a "portable notepad", so he pretended to persuade: "Lily wants to travel, say it, everyone will take you." ”

Lilia snorted: "I don't want to ride someone else's flying machine, it's dirty~" Then she reacted, stared at John with wide eyes, stuck out her tongue and said: "Brother Jiu, I'm not talking about you, in fact, I'm just used to the little angel......"

John's face remained unchanged, and he asked with a smile: "Then you go to the eldest sister and ask to see where they are." ”

"The eldest sister said that they seem to have been attacked, so I'm more worried, won't the little angel not be able to come back? Oops, I knew I wouldn't charge it up, it's all because I was playful at the time, woo woo woo~~~" Lilia said and said, pretending to be pitiful and selling cute.

John snorted coldly in his heart, and asked quietly, "What did the eldest sister say?" ”

Lilia said angrily: "Although it was attacked, there are still some people in that housekeeper who seem to be alive, but I don't know what happened to my future eldest brother-in-law." Also, I heard all this from Sister Joey, how dare I go to my eldest sister to ask about this, and then she will have to reprimand me for being playful. ”

"Still alive?" John frowned slightly, this is not the same as the news he received, is it fooling him over there?

Lilia nodded and affirmed, "Sister Joy also said that the engagement ceremony will be arranged as usual, and it will not be postponed until they still can't make it back after two months." But I heard that the eldest sister seems to be going on an expedition again, and she may be delayed for a little time, so I envy the eldest sister, it's really majestic to put on a military uniform......"

"Our Lily will be able to grow up in the future~" John smiled slightly, but his mind began to calculate, he had to confirm it again.

Lilia wrinkled her nose and snorted arrogantly, "Of course! Then his eyes rolled, and he said coquettishly: "Brother Jiu, you haven't gone out with others for a long time, let's go see Brother Six, I heard that several of his new desserts are delicious, I haven't tasted them yet." ”

John had already made up his mind in his heart, nodded and said, "Then you wait a while, I'll clean it up~"

"Ah, what to pack up, just call the palace maid to come, just leave like this!"
