Chapter 1687: Showdown
Early in the morning, Grand Duke Mion and his son Nopeter found the hotel, and the two arrived as Alan expected. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He had asked Lucy to prepare a gift as compensation for letting Belmode enter the Grand Duke's mansion last night. In the years when Alan was in Babylon, he had a thorough understanding of the affairs between the nobles, even if the Heavenly Star was very different from Babylon, some of the essences were still the same. For example, the face of Grand Duke Mion, don't look at Grand Duke Mion leading his son to the door to apologize, if Alan continues to have a high profile. On the surface, of course, the old man would not say anything, but in his heart he was certainly not angry. But now that I have received Allen's gift, I am very dissatisfied, so I went to seven points. The remaining three points only need to think about Allen's strength, and it will not be easy to attack.
Later, Alan also talked to Mian about some matters related to people's livelihood cooperation, and the wealth of the Shi Lei family is the best in the four princes, what it depends on, of course, is business. The cooperation between Alan and him is beneficial to both parties, that is, because of Allen's relationship, Archduke Mion reduced his profits by three points and earned a little less than usual, but he got in touch with Allen. The pros and cons of this, Grand Duke Mion calculated clearly.
So when Alan was sent to the museum, the remaining unpleasantness disappeared, and he turned around and taught his son a lesson, asking Peter to learn more from Allen's way of doing things, and Peter could only respond again and again.
After seeing off the father and son of Grand Duke Mion, another carriage stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Before Alan could return to the pavilion, he saw Nebbert step out of the carriage. Alan hurriedly greeted them, and now in the imperial capital, there were really not many people like Nebot who still regarded them as friends.
"Prime Minister, why don't you come here, I should visit you.
Alan said sincerely.
Nebot smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, anyway, it's still early to come out of the palace, so I'll come to Lord Allen's place to shop." That carriage just now belonged to Shi Lei's family? If I'm not mistaken, Archduke Mion must have brought his son who had hit you to the door to apologize. ā
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister knows what happened last night, too?" Alan gestured and invited Nebot to join him.
Nebot sighed lightly: "I don't care if anyone doesn't have both eyes on you, Lord Allen, but that one is not very comfortable in their eyes." ā
Of course, Alan knew that he was talking about Julian, so he said: "I did a little too much last night, and I also made some amends when Grand Duke Mion came to the door just now." ā
"That'll do."
When the two came to the study, Nebot sat down and said, "Actually, these are just small things, and I have come for another matter." ā
"Oh, I don't know what I want you to do, Prime Minister." Alan had tea brought and sat down.
"Today, Your Majesty asked me to meet in the study early and talked about you, Lord Allen. His Majesty was very curious about the origin of Lord Allen, and gave me this book. Nebbot took out a red book and placed it on the table.
When Alan saw it, his face changed slightly, and the title of "Miscellaneous Treatises on Heaven and Man" was written in gold paint on the cover of the book. In this way, Nebot's meaning could not be more obvious. Julian suspects him as a celestial and must have investigated his origins.
"Your Excellency, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be displeased if you have just met Your Majesty and come to see me directly.
Alan took the book and flipped through a few random pages.
Nebot sighed, "Your Majesty did this on purpose. He wanted to use my mouth to let Lord Allen know about it. As for the intentions, I don't dare to speculate. If this is not the case, then it would be more appropriate for His Majesty to consult with Rodek, so I came to you and just did what he wanted. ā
"Then I understand, anyway, thank you very much, Prime Minister, for making such a trip." Alan closed the book and smiled.
Nebot took a sip of tea, stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first, there are still many things to deal with." ā
Alan put down the book and said, "I'll send you."
As Nebot was about to step into the carriage, he said, "Lord Allen, whatever you are, I will always remember what you have done for this country. To me, that's more important than who you are. ā
Alan smiled bitterly: "If Julian thinks the same way, then I will have a lot less troubles." ā
"If he's just Julian, I promise he would. I almost watched him grow up, and I still know very well what the child's heart is. But now, he is not only Julian, but also His Majesty the Emperor, so many times, he is also unacceptable, and I ask Lord Allen to forgive me for this. ā
Naber nodded, said no more, and slipped into the carriage.
After he left, Alan returned to the library study, where Lucy was reading the book. Hearing his footsteps, he raised his head and said strangely: "Who sent this?" ā
"Julian asked Nebbert to send it, and he already suspects the identity of my celestial." Alan said in a deep voice.
Lucy let out a "ah" and asked, "Then what are you going to do, if you fall out, it's not a trivial matter." ā
Alan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see Julian, in that case, let's just have a showdown." I hope he doesn't do anything superfluous. ā
Then he called for a carriage to be arranged.
In the Castle of Dawn, Julian had been at the window of his study since Nebt was gone. He looked out the window and suddenly sighed. At this time, someone came in and whispered in Julian's ear: "Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Prime Minister has gone to the hotel. ā
"Got it." Julian waved his hand.
The man went down, and the young emperor murmured, "What will you do, Alan?" Is it looking for me for a showdown? Or pretend to be confused? ā
As soon as he finished saying this, another guard said outside the door: "Your Majesty, Grand Duke Allen asks to see you." ā
Julian's hand clenched for a moment, and after a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Please let him in." ā
When Alan walked through the verandah to the door of the study, he saw that there was not a single guard around. The guards who led the way said goodbye and left. Alan pushed the door in, Julian was sitting in the chair behind the desk, Alan closed the door, and the two looked at each other across the table.
After staring like this for a moment, Julian said in a deep voice: "Wouldn't it be nice to see me?" Grand Duke Allen! ā
Alan also said with a straight face: "I hope to see my former friend Prince Julian today, not His Majesty Julian, now." Because only in front of my friends can I talk about my heart. ā
Julian just looked at him without saying a word, and after a moment the whole body relaxed and said, "You know what, Alan. If you hadn't come, if you hadn't said that, I'd have let the guards and masters in by now. ā
"It's a good thing you didn't, otherwise, after today, the country would be at war again." Alan moved a few fingers and said, "Because in that case, I won't have to take off your head." ā
"So, can we talk?" Julian spread his hands.
Alan nodded.
The young emperor immediately stood up: "Then tell me, whether you are a celestial or not!" ā
