Both countries are busy on the border, but the imperial capital is still singing and dancing, and the wedding of Princess Lilith and Prince Christopher is also being hotly discussed, as if they have no idea what is happening on the border. It's just that behind everyone's smiling faces, there are their own calculations.

But there are exceptions to the people, such as Princess Laura, who is hanging on Li Xiang's arm, and Matthew's youngest sister, who is only twelve years old this year. Since she is the youngest in the family, she is pampered by all the family members and tries to make her life carefree. At least until adulthood, she is carefree.

Because of this carefreeness, Princess Laura has also developed a delicate and straightforward character, she doesn't want Princess Lilith to marry to the distant Empire of Light, so she is bent on destroying this marriage. But she is too young and has no rights in her hands, so she is powerless at all. So she found Li Xiang and asked Li Xiang to help her.

Regarding this marriage, Li Xiang actually agrees. From a utilitarian point of view, although Lilith is married to the second son of the Bright Empire and the second heir, the first heir, that is, the eldest son of the Bright Empire, is a sick son and may hang up at any time. As long as he dies, the second son will be the first heir, and Lilith will be able to become the queen of the Empire of Light. There is a queen of the princess of the Holy Empire, how can there be less scorn between the two countries, and fewer people will die. This is a good thing for both countries, as well as for the armies and people of both countries.

And from a selfish point of view, Lilith's marriage partner is also a good choice. At least he is healthy and has a peaceful temperament, even if the two have no love, they will not become enemies. If you don't marry each other, as Lilith, you must also reflect the value of your marriage and pay for the stability of the country. Either marry the son of a minister's family, or win over a certain family worthy of wooing. In short, if you want to be free in love, it is impossible.

Therefore, when Laura was rolling coquettishly, Li Xiang could only coax her and ask her to ask Lilith's opinion first. If Lilith herself is willing to marry, Laura will delay Lilith's happiness if she has to stop it. If Lilith really doesn't want to marry herself, then Laura comes to her again, and he will definitely help with this.

When Laura heard this, she was right and immediately ran to find Lilith. And Lilith's answer was as Li Xiang expected. Lilith, now seventeen, certainly knows more than Laura and knows that her marriage is not up to her. And she doesn't think there's anything good about free love, there are a lot of free love among those civilians, but soon after marriage, there is a lot of trouble, and there are not a few who divorce in the end. So she didn't like or resist this marriage, and resigned herself to fate.

Laura's enthusiasm was choked by Lilith, and she was depressed for several days. The queen, who loved her little daughter the most, tried her best to make her happy, but she never succeeded. In a hurry, the queen simply ordered a prince and two princesses that Laura must be coaxed to be happy, otherwise the family law will serve!

Matthew's sister, Princess Avril Avril, has long been married, the son of the Prime Minister of the Empire. In fact, she is not very old, only twenty-three years old, but probably because she is married, she began to be interested in her parents. It happened that the queen had given such an order, so she came up with an idea: "Laura has grown up in the palace, and she is tired of everything here, and if she wants to be happy, it is best to let her see something new." Matthew, I heard that you met an interesting girl, it seems to be Alice, she always has a lot of fun things, maybe she has a way to coax our little princess. ”

Li Xiang understood what Avril meant, Alice does have a lot of interesting inventions, such as cartoon-shaped toys, pillows, cute and fashionable accessories, interesting and fun magic toys and so on. But she is more like seeing Matthew eating in front of Alice in order to satisfy her bad taste. After all, the news that Matthew took the initiative to pursue the girl for the first time, but returned with a feather, has already been known to all the people in the imperial capital, and it is certainly impossible for Avril not to know.

If it was Matthew in the past, of course, he would not let his sisters and sisters see his jokes. But Li Xiang didn't care, and immediately nodded and said, "Good idea, let's go now." But shall we go to Alice first, or should we go straight to her shop? ”

Matthew's change made Avril raise an eyebrow, and Lilith glanced at Li Xiang twice. In front of people who are familiar with Matthew, it is obviously impossible to hide the fact that Matthew's heart has been changed. But Li Xiang doesn't care, what if they find out? Deprive him of the right to inherit the throne? Li Xiang didn't care at all. Take him down and torture him severely? That's even more, who can take him? Even if the Sword Saint and the Great Magister of this plane shot together, Li Xiang could kill them in seconds. Li Xiang's saint-level primordial god is not an ornament, and he can scare them to death with a single glance.

Fortunately, the family atmosphere of the Holy Empire royal family is excellent, and the three princesses are not ambitious people, and none of them have thought of competing with Matthew for the throne, so the relationship between the siblings is very good. Although Avril and Lilith felt that Matthew had matured a lot, they didn't think about it elsewhere, let alone take this opportunity to frame Li Xiang, they were just disappointed that they couldn't see Matthew's embarrassed appearance.

Since Li Xiang is not afraid of seeing Alice, it is better to go to the store directly to find her, after all, the things in the store are more complete. So the four of them took a carriage together and came to a small shop called "Beautiful Mood", which is located in the most prosperous commercial street in the imperial capital.

As soon as Li Xiang walked into this store, he had the illusion of returning to the real world. The decoration style is completely different from other stores in this plane, so that first-time visitors will be attracted by bright light, clean environment, warm atmosphere, and novelty goods. Laura was here for the first time, and she was also immediately stunned, exclaiming, "It's so beautiful here!" It's even more beautiful than the royal palace! The shape of that magic lamp is strange, but it's beautiful. Why are shelves so at the mercy of this? Aren't you afraid of being stolen? Are those aunts who are all dressed the same for sale? Why not a young girl? ……”

Even Li Xiang didn't expect that Laura came here not interested in all kinds of fun things, but was full of interest in the unique facilities and systems here. This made Li Xiang smile and nod, it seems that Laura is very talented and can see the most precious things in this store. It wouldn't be surprising if an old fritter who has been in business for many years could see this. But Laura is just a little girl who doesn't understand anything, and it's not easy to see this. Li Xiang began to secretly ponder whether to train Laura, and let her inherit the throne when the time comes, so that he can be at ease.

Those cute things designed by Alice will love anyone who sees them. At most, men like less when they see it, but women can't walk when they see it. It's not the first time Avril and Lilith have been here, but they can't help but pick up a bunch of things. Not to mention Laura, when her attention was drawn back to the goods, she screamed to buy the store. After learning that the owner of the store and Matthew were good friends, Laura gave up on buying and selling, but still asked for almost every item.

Seeing the three sisters shopping and being elated, Li Xiang could only shake his head and come to the rest area, ready to try the ice cream made with magic. But not long after he sat down, a big boy who was only eighteen or nine years old, with a tall figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a resolute face, walked over. As soon as the palace guards who were hiding in the shadows to protect Li Xiang wanted to stop them, Li Xiang waved his finger slightly, so that they didn't have to be nervous.

The big boy strode in front of Li Xiang, bowed slightly, and said, "Chris, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" Thank you for all you do for Alice. ”

Li Xiang looked at him lightly and said, "It's my business and her to help Alice, are you here to thank me, are you demonstrating to me?" ”

Chris is the person who is in love with Alice, that is, the rival who made Prince Matthew sink into the sand, Li Xiang replaced Matthew's identity, and naturally he can't have a good face for him. However, Li Xiang also admires him very much in his heart, this Chris is brave, upright, handsome, and capable, although he usually seems a little arrogant and a little cold, but he is very considerate to Alice, no wonder Alice is fascinated by him.

In the face of the hostility of a prince, Chris did not show any fear, his back was still straight, and said: "If Your Highness has to think like this, I don't want to defend it. But I'm not here to tell you about Alice, it's about myself. ”

Li Xiang usually doesn't always use his mind to spy on other people's minds, but now when he heard Chris say this, he was also a little surprised, and asked, "Your business?" What's the matter with you? ”

Chris said: "I've heard that the border of the empire has been a little unstable lately, and there may be a fight at any time. Many officers of the children of the nobility have asked for transfers and want to leave there, vacating many positions. Therefore, I want to go to the army on the border, do my part for the empire, and earn a future for myself. ”

The place where everyone else wants to leave is an opportunity to the road to power in Chris's eyes, even though this opportunity is very risky and can cost you your life if you are not careful. However, for someone of civilian background like Chris, even a little risk is worth it.

Li Xiang nodded and said, "You are willing to contribute to the country, this is a good thing, of course I agree." Just, have you discussed this matter with Alice? ”

Chris was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't want her to worry about me." I'm her man, and I'm supposed to protect her, but when something goes wrong, she can only ask for your help. ”

Li Xiang nodded and said: "I understand, you want to climb to a high position as soon as possible, if you meet a powerful person to embarrass her again, you can shelter her from the wind and rain." But have you ever thought about how high you have to climb to shelter her? Let's talk about this incident, it is the Empire's Chancellor of Finance who embarrasses Alice, and if you want to match him, you must at least be at the rank of Legion Commander. How much time are you going to spend sitting in the high position of Legion Commander? Ten years, twenty years? (To be continued.) )
