Volume 3: The Vortex of Strife Chapter 251: The Prince Who Came Home (Part II)

"Why did you come to Mallot!" was summoned to the main hall of the palace, and the middle-aged man with several thick braids on his head and wearing cyan plate armor was immediately noticed by Kesi.

"Archduke Webster has asked me to personally bring Prince Walter back, and at the same time to witness your wedding and make sure that things are going right. The middle-aged man's tone of voice was yin and yang, and every time he said a word, the mustache on the corner of his mouth would move slightly.

Before the two could say a word, Walter followed Bradley into the main hall, and the middle-aged man and Kesi, like the other ministers and nobles, immediately bowed slightly and stood on either side. King Byron, who was sitting on the throne, glanced at Amsol and Winlith, except for the little princess Natney, the four members of the royal family were all here today.

"The eldest prince Bradley, the third prince Walter has arrived!"

Walter followed his brother closely, and he looked in good spirits, as if he had returned victorious. On the contrary, the expression of the eldest prince Bradley was much more serious, and he exchanged a look with Princess Winlith, who clenched the sword at his waist, and this action made some of the nobles standing beside the giantess feel a lot of pressure.

"Erchen sees his father! Erchen has finally returned from his studies, and he has lived up to the expectations of his father and others for his son!"

"Excuse me!" said King Byron, who smiled at Walter's voice, lifted his buttocks, and walked briskly down from the high platform, almost stepping on the tail of his robe.

For the first time, Coss saw King Byron look so happy, and if Byron was the father of Amsoil and Bradley, he was clearly more like Walter's father. I saw Byron directly hugging Walter in heavy plate armor, Byron's figure was still thicker than Walter in plate armor.

"It's good to come back! Walter, you've grown a lot taller, and you're a lot stronger, and you seem to have grown up! It's your birthday soon, and you'll be a full-fledged adult after that day!"

Keth looked at Walter's harmless smile, and she suddenly remembered the grievances she had suffered here, and the reason why she had to flee from here - in the entire kingdom of Salins, she only trusted Walter alone, because this person was so gentle with her, like a handsome knight guarding the princess's side, he would never be rude or excessive.

Amsol, who had done too much to Koss, turned pale, and when Winlith stood up and several members of the royal family began to catch up, the second prince just stood quietly in his place, as if he didn't care about Walter, who had just ended his journey as a hostage.

"It's Brother Walter!" The voice of the little princess Knightney came from behind the ministers, and she was hugged by Walter when she half-jumped and half-ran in front of Walter, "Great! Great! Brother Walter will be able to play with me when he comes back!" "The little princess Knightney, who was holding the bear, was only seven years old, and the closest person to whom Kesi had seen her before was Amsol, but she didn't expect her to be so close to Walter.

"Ah, Knightney, you've grown up a lot, and you're going to be a princess in your own right!" Walter's eyes were curved into a line, and it was evident that he maintained respect for Bradley and Winlith, and was more intimate with the seven-year-old princess.

At this time, Amsoil also walked over and reached out to hug Knightney, "Come, don't get in the way of Walter, my brother has a lot of things to do." "Anthony with a big shiny back was much taller than Walter, and he was about the same height as Bradley, but both were shorter than Duke Winley.

"Brother Amsul, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your achievements have already spread to the Duchy of Deramain, and the people there want to see the demeanor of the 'political king' of the Kingdom of Sarins!"

"Brother Wang has an overreputation... What is that 'political king'?"

"It's the nickname given to you by the people of the Duchy of Deraman, because under your rule, Mallot's tax revenue has increased year after year, and the grain production has doubled, which is not something ordinary people can do. ”

Before Amsoil could reply, Byron interrupted everyone's reminiscences, "Well, there's still plenty of time to gossip in the future, but there are guests here today." "The time of the family reunion has passed in a blink of an eye, and even Kesi forgot in the scene just now that these people are vying for the throne of the Kingdom of Salins, and the happy appearance can easily make the unconscious people have a delusion.

The three princes stood aside, and the two princesses stood closer to the king, and Coth noticed that the young queen Rosemund was not present in the main hall.

"Miss Christine, do you think it's better for you to introduce the distinguished guests of the Duchy of Dlamain, or Walter?" King Byron set his eyes on Koth, who was still in a daze, but Walter had already stepped out first, along with the middle-aged man with thick braids and mustache and wearing cyan plate armor.

"Ministers who are familiar with the Duchy of Dlamain may already know that this is the cousin of the Grand Duke of Webster, Marquis Roberto, and the lord of the port city of White Feather. "Of course, the knowledgeable ministers and nobles knew that this maline and domineering marquis, Roberto's marquis was not because of Webster's connections, but was taken back by his own hands.

Roberto bowed to King Byron, "It is the Duke's intention to escort Prince Walter back to China this time, and Duke Webster also hopes that I can bring some advice to my niece so that Christine's mistakes will not happen again." Roberto glared at Kesi as he spoke, and the other nobles and ministers understood Roberto's meaning, and it seemed that the marquis had brought the sincerity of the apology.

"It's been almost two years since that incident, and there's no point in discussing it now, but Miss Christine has promised not again..."

Ignoring Byron's statement, Roberto interrupted, "Christine, please tell everyone why you want to escape from Mallot. ”

The palace was suddenly silent, and Kesi, who had thought that Walter was the protagonist today, never thought that this man who was her cousin would openly question her, she glanced at Amsoil who was standing opposite, and then at Walter next to Amsul, and for a moment did not know whether to tell the truth or not.

"Lord Marquis, I am responsible for this," Walter stepped forward and strode over to Coth, "if you want to blame Miss Christine, please blame me first." ”

"What do you mean?" said King Byron, tilting his head back slightly.

"Prince Walter, could it be that you instigated Miss Christine to escape?" a diplomatic envoy of the Duchy of Delamain who was based in Mallotte couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Father, I would like to tell you about this privately, but I intend to announce one thing first," Walter cleared his throat, "I am willing to voluntarily renounce the succession to the throne of the Kingdom of Sahlins, no matter who becomes the future prince and who rules the Kingdom of Sahlins, I will not be the prince of the Kingdom of Sahlins in the future, but the prince." ”

When she heard that Walter had voluntarily renounced the inheritance, she seemed to remember Walter's attitude when he called himself Prince in the letter to show that he was unwilling to compete with the two royal brothers for the throne.

Those ministers and nobles immediately bowed their heads and whispered, Bradley looked surprised, and he was the first to say: "Brother Wang, is this the result of your careful consideration?"

"Of course, this is my decision when I was studying in the Duchy of Deramain," Walter's expression was relaxed, and his smile was very natural, not at all like lying, "and I even have my own king name in mind, I'll call it 'Hewang', Brother Amsoil, what do you think?"

"'The Ruler' Amsoil and the 'Harmony King' Walter, that sounds pretty good. Princess Winlith appreciated.

None of the ministers dared to say anything, and the Marquis of Roberto seemed to be stunned. As an envoy of the Duchy of Deramain, he was tasked by Duke Webster to see Christine and Walter married. The prerequisite for this marriage is that Walter is still a strong contender for the throne, and if Prince Walter, who has lived in the Duchy of Deramain, can ascend to the throne of the Kingdom of Sarins, the alliance with the Duchy of Dallain will be stronger, and the investment of the Duchy of Dlamain will have more returns. But now Walter is...

"By the way, I would like to make my position clear today," King Byron, his right hand clenched into a fist, resting his boastful fleshy cheek, and looking intently at his favorite little prince, "I will support my brother Bradley to become the prince of the kingdom of Sahlins." ”

These two sentences were even more shocking than Walter's voluntary renunciation of the right to inherit the throne! The ministers and nobles in Mallotte all looked at Amsey - the prince who was appointed by King Byron was the second prince Amsey, if Walter had already known about this and dared to speak like this, it would be a blatant challenge to the prestige of King Byron, and at the same time, it would be tantamount to openly opposing Amsoil becoming the prince.

Bradley didn't speak, but Princess Winlith walked up to Walter and knocked Walter on the head with her fist, "Talking nonsense there again, this kind of thing is not something that a minor can say casually!"

Walter immediately covered his head, as if he was playing with a playmate, "I know, Sister Wenlith! I was joking just now, after all, I haven't seen you for so long, I also want to see if everyone has become more humorous!" Walter prevaricated his words in the name of joking, but whether it was the ministers and nobles standing on either side or the eldest prince and the second prince, everyone's faces showed different expressions after Walter finished speaking.

"Alright, enough trouble, I'll assume I didn't hear what you just said," King Byron waved his hand vigorously, as if trying to chase away the flies in front of him, "get home and adapt to your new life as soon as possible." ”
