Chapter 39: The Second Prince
"It's getting colder and colder, autumn is coming, isn't it?" Rhine Leo took a sip of his glass, the tallest restaurant in the royal city, his movements were very elegant, not at all like an orc prince, but very similar to a human nobleman.
"Yes, Your Highness, this year's autumn came much later than usual. A black-robed priest behind him replied, "I think the venerable prince may be worrying about the food of those reckless men at this moment, right?"
The priest under the black robe smiled.
"Brother Wang, I don't think my father will make it difficult for him, after all, he is his proudest son. Rhine Leo smiled slightly: "Forget it, don't talk about him, he is different from me, how did I let you invite other princes?"
The five princes agreed. The black-robed priest chuckled: "Except for the eldest prince, and the sixth, eighth, and tenth princes who have been divided, within the kingdom, His Highness's invitation, but no one will risk offending His Highness to refuse, if I don't think of any surprise, the five princes will come on time." ”
"Really?" Leo's eyes were slightly confused: "Maybe it's because of this that my father has always refused to give me any rights, right?
The priest was silent, and every time he mentioned this Second Prince, His Royal Highness was not in a good mood, and in his opinion, His Majesty the King was indeed a little biased.
The second prince's talent is definitely the highest among all princes, and there is no shortage of acquired efforts, but compared to the eldest prince, the second prince is a poor background, and even worse than a look that can become the pride of His Majesty the King.
He was mediocre in appearance, not as resembling the Great Prince as the Lionheart, and his eyes were brown, and the narrow corners of his eyes did not feel very comfortable.
Of course, this is not the reason why he decided to follow this highness, but the mind of this highness, which can be said to be definitely smarter than those Fawkes, who are known for their so-called wisdom and cunning.
His Highness has been in contact with human merchants since he was a child, and he owns the largest restaurant, the largest pawnshop, and the largest weapons shop in the kingdom, all of which he earned from the merchants who eat people and do not spit out bones.
Under power, above interests, money reigns supreme, this is the prince's own summing up, and has always regarded it as a creed, so since more than ten years ago, almost all the families in the royal city have had an inseparable interest relationship with this prince.
Including his family, for the sake of the family's interests, he sincerely surrendered to this prince, so he followed His Royal Highness the prince, and this prince has indeed not disappointed him for more than ten years.
Compared with the eldest prince who only knows war and killing, he thinks that only His Royal Highness the second prince is a real, pure nobleman, he will consider the interests of all nobles, and his starting point is based on the interests of nobles.
He felt that perhaps only true nobles could understand the power of nobles in the kingdom, a force that even kings would fear, and that prince, who represented the interests of all nobles, could not think of any reason why he would fail to compete for the throne?
What can His Majesty the King do if he is partial? Could it be that His Majesty will oppose the entire aristocracy? He laughed in his heart, this is obviously impossible, compared to the dazzling achievements of the eldest prince, this second prince has actually long been ahead of the dazzling eldest prince.
"Perhaps, why should I wait?" Leo muttered suddenly, looking out the window at the sky.
"Why are you waiting?" the priest was puzzled and said softly, "What is Your Highness waiting for?"
He asked very naturally, obviously not for the first time, as the confidant of this prince's henchman, he knew that this prince would not keep it a secret from him, even if he didn't ask, the prince would say it, but that might make this prince feel very boring, right?
"Waiting for what? Waiting for my father, of course, to inherit the throne. He suddenly burst out laughing: "Don't you think there are too many variables in the future?"
"Variables?" The priest closed his eyes, carefully sensed the surroundings, and after making sure that there were no outsiders, he wondered: "Isn't all this in the hands of His Highness?
The sacrifice was very puzzled, His Royal Highness the Prince had tied all the interests of the nobility to his chariot more than ten years ago, and he really couldn't think of any variables in this nobility, that is, the kingdom of the country.
"Mastery?" Leo sneered, "Are you so incompetent as my father that you can't do anything?" and my great brother, who is the most god-like Lionheart?"
"Your Highness..... This..... Even if His Majesty the King targets it, it doesn't seem to be able to do that to you, right?"
"Huh. He sneered: "That His Majesty is in charge of the army of the entire kingdom, do you know what that concept is? He can easily destroy all the nobles of the kingdom and then let a new group of nobles rise, but he will not use this method of defeat unless absolutely necessary." ”
"Just like the Lionheart of the Great, the Lionheart was just an ordinary Rhine, but relying on the army in his hands, he slaughtered all the nobles who rebelled against him, and rewarded the wealth of these nobles to his heroes, I remember that your family seems to be one of the heroes at that time. ”
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, he can't ......" The priest's voice was full of panic, he was incredible, it really made him not believe that everything was really as His Highness said.
"What are you panicking about?" Leo laughed, "I heard my Ten Princes say something a few days ago, and I think it's very interesting. ”
He thought about it for a moment and said, "That sentence goes like this, when the sky falls, there will naturally be a child on top, and if my father really does that, there will naturally be those big families who will be the first to stand on top." ”
"Ten princes?" the priest was stunned.
He found that he seemed to have only the name of the Rhine Rhine in the image of the Ten Princes.
"That's right, it's my tenth royal brother, he is so chic, his subordinates abolished the war sacrifice and patted his ass and left, leaving the eldest brother to find a so-called Panta clan, almost the entire royal city was uplifted. ”
"Your Highness, perhaps the so-called Panta is just a Pier cursed by the devil. The priest smiled: "Anyway, there has never been a record of the Panta race in the entire history of the continent I have read, and I think even if the eldest prince overturns the entire continent, it may not be possible to find a second Pantana." ”
That's true. Leo nodded: "I don't know how my little brother Wang recruited such a subordinate, it's really enviable." ”
"It's just a reckless man, it may be okay to charge, but when it's the turn to be strong, I can kill him in seconds. The priest said disdainfully.
As a great priest, he did have the right to disdain everyone, even if that Panta killed the war sacrifice in seconds.
The second prince glanced at him, shook his head and said nothing.
