Chapter 392: On the Road (Part II)
With Schubert's departure, the carriage was eerily quiet.
"Get up, don't pretend to be a dead pig!" Rorien scolded with a laugh.
Rasti raised her head with a salivating face, and continued her usual flattery:
"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life, otherwise I would definitely not be able to escape today!"
"This is nothing, the people who follow me loyally must be kept, and if I don't have this bit of energy, how can I be called His Highness to follow!"
"Your Highness is wise, it is really the luck of our followers, it's just ......"
Seeing that his housekeeper wanted to speak and stopped, Luo Ruien was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood:
"Look at your look, are you worried that when you return home, Schubert will settle accounts with you!"
"Hey, hey, Your Highness really knows everything, and can't hide anything from you. You also know that although I just said that the old man was very unbearable in order to give you a face, but Your Majesty is indeed very serious to him, and I am afraid that he will really hold a grudge against me for slandering in front of Your Majesty, and then I will die!"
"Hmph, you can rest assured, if that's the case, I will have to excuse you in front of my father, although he is a celebrity in front of my father, but I am the future heir of the empire, how much right and wrong can a courtier make!"
"That villain has thanked His Highness for his kindness first, and he will swear to serve in the future to show his loyalty!" said Rasti bowed heavily, raised his head and saw the smile on his master's face, and knew that his hospitality was very effective, so he had to strike while the iron was hot:
"Your Highness, that old thing doesn't even give you face, and dares to preach to you without shame, I don't think it's any good intentions, I heard that it's been very close to the second prince recently!"
At the mention of the second prince, the original pleasant smile on Luo Ruien's face immediately retracted, and it was obvious that this poked his heart.
The grievances between their brothers are well known in the aristocratic circles of Maienke, and the two of them, as the most powerful contenders for the throne, have been fighting each other openly and secretly since childhood, and they have never stopped.
Sullivan's ingenuity and his courage and prowess have always had their own merits, but his father's preferences have always been unknown, so he has not yet announced the choice of prince between the two of them.
In terms of inheritance, his character and experience are more in the style of his father Emperor Most, and he should be more valued. However, the second brother Sullivan's elegance and wisdom also received a lot of support in the Wenchen circle, so the power of the two has always maintained a very delicate balance, although they are both determined to compete for the throne, on the surface they still maintain the necessary etiquette and the illusion of brotherhood and brotherhood.
But in the past six months, since the defeat of the Eastern Front, Sullivan seems to have been blamed by his father, and the forces represented behind him have temporarily died down, and he has become much more low-key as if he has been punished.
He went out on an expedition and was transferred back to the royal capital by a decree to start taking charge of government affairs, which has to be said to be a signal, it seems that his father's preferences among the two people are self-evident, although he did not say it explicitly, but everyone can see that his storage position seems to be within reach.
Thinking of this, the gloom on his face was swept away.
"Let him go, it's his freedom to be willing to slap the loser!"
"Your Royal Highness, you are just too soft-hearted, so the courtiers with two hearts should not be kept, and the second prince is too, how can he compare with you, but he has to compete with you for the sake of brotherhood, if you don't think about brotherhood, you would have beaten him to the ground.
Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise and did not let the villain take charge, didn't you finally choose you to take the lead!"
"I can't say that! The second brother is also a person with real talent and learning, and he may be a very competent monarch in other countries, but after all, the empire is the existence that will eventually unify the whole continent, and a monarch without edge and ambition is ultimately unqualified, and only I can continue my father's great cause at one point.
I'm just helping him recognize himself, and I have no intention of killing him. Besides, a wise monarch must learn to know people and make good use of them, and if he can learn from his mistakes and return to assist me, it will definitely be a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.
In the future, when I ascend to the throne of the king of the whole continent, he will naturally become a famous figure in history for people to admire and praise, isn't this a beautiful story!"
"What I said is that His Highness is really benevolent and righteous, and I really hope that those who are against His Highness and the family will listen to it carefully, experience His Highness's mind, and be influenced to return to the right path!"
Suddenly, the carriage and horse seemed to have caught some foreign object, and it shook violently, which immediately made the unprepared butler stumble very embarrassed, causing Rorien to laugh.
Although it is a very happy thing to please the master, the housekeeper who feels that he has lost face can't help but complain:
"It also claims to be the richest empire, I think it's complete bullshit! This is the official road leading to the royal capital, it is so difficult to walk, and I don't know how to repair it, and the country roads in my country are smoother than this.
I don't think such a country can produce any decent talents in all aspects, but the old man of Schubert really regarded the other party as a strong opponent, and even said something like 'the horse stumbled'. Being so cautious, I don't think I'm worthy to dominate the entire empire's alchemy realm!"
The villains have always looked for all kinds of opportunities to show their meanness, which not only belittles the empire, but also stomps on the people who have just had a holiday, and the tricks of slander are very skillful.
However, he didn't notice that his master's face had changed somewhat, because this sycophant was really slapped on the leg, not to mention that Aixin's national living standard and affluence are recognized as the top level in the mainland, even if the resources in other aspects are difficult to match, in fact, no empire should be strong, but just because the border war just ended was completely defeated by the other party in alchemy, and the remarks that ridiculed Aixin for no one in the alchemy world are nonsense.
"It's always right to be careful, arrogance on the battlefield is unacceptable!"
"That can't be too modest, isn't it, Schubert obviously doesn't have any courage, I think you must personally guide the pressure formation, and naturally be able to return triumphantly!"
"Ha, how do you know? I don't know how to lead us to victory!"
"This ...... There must be no problem, isn't there a saying among the generals that leading troops to fight requires generals to have martial arts! Your reputation for constant victory has spread throughout the army, and your martial luck is bound to be extremely prosperous! With the blessing of your luck, I believe that the young talents of our country will also be inspired and will be victorious!"
"Hahahaha, you mouth! Dead can make you say alive!"
"Your Highness smiled, but what the villain said was the truth!"
......
The wheels are rolling.
In this way, there was nothing to do along the way, but when it was still about ten miles away from the royal city, the convoy suddenly stopped.
In front of him, a team of brightly armored knights blocked the way, and when they rode forward, they said loudly:
"Sero, the captain of the south gate guard of the royal capital of the Lower Aisin Empire, is ordered to welcome the representatives of Mainke here, and respectfully invite everyone to enter the city!"
The reply that should have been signed up according to etiquette did not appear, but after a moment of silence, the butler Rasti came out of the central carriage and ordered the accompanying guards:
"Spread the words of His Highness, the idle people and others dared to intercept the car driver for no reason, and teach them a lesson!"
