Chapter 173: The Mysterious Thirteenth Prince
When Jacob gasped and stopped what he was doing, the head chef was already lying motionless in a pool of blood, Jacob gasped heavily, he had never felt so accomplished with the blood-dripping bricks, and then he turned around and returned the bricks to Green, and Ye Chui walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Hungry, go eat something and fill your stomach." β
Jacob nodded and walked into the banquet hall.
A maid was standing at the table with a few towels, she was a waitress who served her master to eat, and when she saw Jacob, her face was full of panic, and there seemed to be a bit of mockery in her eyes, just like the look of a dog fighting a man.
Jacob had not paid much attention to the meanings in people's eyes before, but strangely he could now make out the meanings clearly, but he did not care, and as if he was deliberately provocative, he went to the maid, took a towel, wiped his hands, and threw it at the maid.
Then he walked over to the table, where there was no place for him, so he raised his foot and kicked the stool closest to him: "Make way." He didn't pay attention to who it was, and when he saw the unhappy face, he remembered that it was the fourth prince, but this didn't dispel his thoughts, "I haven't eaten a full meal in nine months, tell you not to mess with me!"
β......β
With an incredible expression, the fourth prince stood up stiffly, and what made him unbelievable was not that Jacob said that he hadn't eaten a full meal for nine months, but that Jacob dared to talk to him, the fourth prince, like this?
Who gave you the courage to sit with these noble royals and nobles!?
Next to this table, in addition to Grimm, Lesa and others, there were also Lord Kevin, and several important ministers around the lord, but Jacob sat down so naturally when he saw the fourth prince standing up, grabbed the food in front of him and began to devour it into his mouth.
Where is the original cowering kitchen boys?
The finance official next to him was full of disgust, and he picked up the wine glass to take a sip to suppress the shock, but before the glass could be put to his lips, Jacob snatched it away, poured it into his mouth, and then cracked open his mouth and let out a loud burp......
Sitting on the table eating and drinking, Gu Ni was shocked to finally meet a person with a similar eating style to herself!
Lord Kevin's butler let the head chef's body drag down, and Ye Chui also walked back to his place, at this time he saw a richly dressed woman standing up at the table, he was Lord Kevin's wife (not Windsor's mother), Gu Ni's eclectic eating appearance was okay, she endured it, but Green, a guy who had just been released from the dungeon, was also like this, she couldn't bear it.
What do you think this place is? This is the banquet hall of the lord! The noble Prince Geller is sitting here, and you are so ignorant of etiquette! She was about to say something to Prince Geller in a rage.
But at this time, she saw Prince Geller laughing a few times at Ye Chui: "I like this little brother very much, he is bloody, Debbie's sister friends are really not ordinary people, you will be my friend in the future." β
Jacob's mouth was stuffed with food, and he grabbed a wine glass and raised it in response to Prince Geller.
And Prince Geller's words directly blocked the noblewoman's grumbling, and sat back in his place stupidly.
Prince Geller's feelings for Debbie are simply adoring, and even the people he knows with Debbie are very different in his eyes.
"When we first entered the world of ruins, I was most worried about Jacob, worried that he would suffer because he knew us, but I didn't expect it to happen, but fortunately he didn't die. Ye Trai said that after leaving the ruins world, Ye Trai and his party came to Jacob's house, but found that it was empty, and at that time, Ye Trai was really worried about whether Jacob would have been killed.
At the banquet just now, he was relieved when he confirmed from the mouth of the chief butler that Jacob was not dead, but when he heard that the head chef had privately bribed the jailer to detain Jacob for nine months, Ye Chui was angry.
He must have taught the head chef a hard lesson, but Jacob personally smashed the head chef to death with a brick, which was a bit unexpected to him, it seems that no matter how kind a person is, he will be reborn after being imprisoned for nine months for no reason, and now Jacob feels like a different person, but this feeling is quite appetizing to Ye Chui.
"I still have some impressions of this kid, after interrogating him, I let him go, but I didn't expect that he has been locked up until now, this chef really deserves to die, and I will also punish the jailer who goes back to the dungeon. Lord Kevin explained.
Ye Trai smiled at Lord Kevin, maybe Jacob has been imprisoned until now, it is not Kevin's secret permission, no matter since Jacob has been angry, he will not be investigated, Ye Trai has other things to tell Lord Kevin, he smiled: "Lord Lord, there is something I want to do first-the wedding of Cass and Miss Windsor, you see if you are looking for a chance to hold it." β
"What?" Lord Kevin's face turned cold, "This, this...... What a wedding, I didn't agree to marry Windsor to Cass......"
Cass and Windsor, who were sitting at the table, looked nervous at the same time.
"Oh, I may have misunderstood you, Lord Kevin. Ye Trai smiled and continued, "I mean to make up their wedding, because when they were in the world of ruins, they had already held a simple wedding ceremony, and now they are husband and wife. β
"What are you talking about!?" Lord Kevin stood up and glanced at Cass with anger on his face, "I don't agree to this marriage, and without the blessing of the church, how can this wedding be serious......
"You say the blessings of the church?" Ye said casually, "Bishop Talbot personally witnessed their wedding and offered his blessings, but it is a pity that Bishop Talbot died in the subsequent adventure. β
The Holy See in this world has great power, and the weddings of commoners also need to be blessed by the church to be considered husband and wife, and nobles and royals need to hold heavy blessing ceremonies.
Lord Kevin's face became very embarrassed, the wedding of Windsor and the fourth prince was the result of his discussions with the church a long time ago, and all parties had interests related, how could the people of the church wish Windsor and the others the wedding? He would never believe it, he said angrily: "This is impossible, it is impossible for Bishop Talbot to bless Cass and Windsor's wedding!"
Bishop Talbot and his party died in the ruins world, and Ye Chuke didn't tell Lord Kevin about how they died, but Lord Kevin could almost conclude that in the ruins world, Bishop Talbot would never tear up their agreement and bless Windsor to marry someone else!
Ye Trai sighed, and his eyes suddenly looked at the fourth prince - the fourth prince was now sitting back at the table, eating a plate of roasted mushrooms with an aggrieved face, and when he came into contact with Ye Trai's eyes, he suddenly chuckled, and the anger in his heart was unspeakable for a while.
It's too much!
Not to mention robbing his fiancΓ©e, he is still ready to let him prove that they have become a legal couple?
Is this a change of trick to cuckold him!?
"Fourth Prince?" Ye Trai said in an inquiring voice.
The fourth prince then endured the grievances in his heart, he thought of his forbearance, and thought of the ultimate weapon to please Debbie, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "That's right...... Bishop Talbot blessed the wedding of Big Brother Cass and Windsor!"
Hearing the fourth prince's admission, Ye Chui cheered in his heart and toasted to the goddess Akeya~
Lord Kevin and the others were silent, Bishop Talbot really blessed their wedding?What Ye Chui and the others said is not credible, but the words of the fourth prince, the ex-fiancΓ©, cannot be fake......
Ye Chui hurriedly looked at Cass and Windsor at this time, and the two understood, so Windsor pulled Cass to Lord Kevin.
"Father, I've become husband and wife with Cass, and nothing can break us apart!" Windsor said in a firm voice.
Cass also said solemnly: "Lord Kevin, I told you three years ago that no matter what the cost, I will be with Windsor. β
Lord Kevin's face was still a little hesitant, and the wife sitting next to him, the noble lady, wanted to speak but didn't know how to speak, then Prince Geller said with a smile: "I like this Kas, Debbie's sister's partner is more than enough to marry your daughter, so let's go back and ask the imperial brother for instructions, give him a knighthood, give him a piece of territory to become a nobleman, in this case, Lord Kevin You shouldn't have any more opinions, right?"
Kevin's brows tightened, Prince Geller has decided that Cass and Windsor's relationship matter, what else can he say? It seems that those interests entanglement with the church can only be discussed in the long run, he looked at Cass again, he actually has some approval in his heart for this swordsman, and he refused to marry his daughter to him at first, just because his background is too low, if he can get a fief and a knighthood and become a nobleman, it is another matter......
Thinking of this, Lord Kevin finally nodded reluctantly: "Okay, since you have held a blessing ceremony privately, then I have no choice but to admit your marriage!" He looked at the butler who had been standing aside, and the butler hurriedly stood up, "Go, hurry up and prepare, and the official wedding will be held tomorrow!"
"Yes, sir. The butler hurriedly took the order and retreated.
Cass and Windsor made no secret of their joy, and looked at Ye Trai gratefully, at first they began to ask Ye Trai's magic guild to help him snatch Windsor, and Windsor also hired Ye Trai's guild to help him escape the marriage, but now the result is the most happy for them!
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was warm, the fourth prince held a wine glass in his hand, and was about to make a full toast with Cass, but in the end he couldn't bear the strong sense of shame that arose from his heart, and left the banquet hall with the wine glass, the head chef's blood had been wiped clean, and he stood on the corridor, his eyes narrowed.
What's wrong with him for the past half a day, although he has been educated to achieve the end by the means, but thinking of his series of performances this morning, he still feels a little incredible.
Shaking his head vigorously, the fourth prince suddenly thought of the spell that Ye hung to himself in the morning......
Could it be the influence of that spell that made him make these wrong judgments!?
"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. A somewhat rickety figure walked up to the side of the fourth prince and said respectfully.
It was a middle-aged man with thinning hair and a face covered with nausea and abscesses, hunched over and wrapped in a shabby fur coat, which contrasted sharply with the opulence and cleanliness of the banquet hall.
"It's you, Ula Mudface. The fourth prince said with some surprise, "Aren't you in the imperial capital? β
Mud-faced Ulla is one of the confidants of the fourth prince, although the appearance is a little embarrassing, but he is quite scheming, when the fourth prince set off for Wind Rock City, let him stay in the imperial capital to deal with some of his own affairs.
"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, it has been nine months since you disappeared, where can the poor muddy face stay in the imperial capital, of course I came here to find your whereabouts, God is pitiful, let me see you again. The mud face hurriedly said complimentally.
The fourth prince was not too interested in this set of mud faces, and he asked lightly, "How is the situation in the imperial capital now?"
"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the situation in the imperial capital is not good now...... the muddy voice became a little weird, "The old emperor is seriously ill, and the news from the palace may be dying, the eldest prince just rushed back from the south not long ago, and several other princes have also seized the time to act, and now the smell of gunsmoke in the imperial capital is very choking." β
The fourth prince's brows suddenly locked, his marriage with Windsor was largely in accordance with the arrangement of the Holy See, so that Kevin, the lord who ruled the north, could become his power to win the heir, and now his head was much clearer, and he suddenly realized that Prince Geller would agree to the marriage of Cass and Windsor just now, I am afraid that it was not just because of Debbie, he did not want Lord Kevin to join his camp.
He turned his head to look at Prince Geller, who was chatting happily with Ye Trai in the banquet hall, and snorted coldly, what an old fox!
As the only surviving brother of the old emperor, Prince Geller can have a great influence on the old emperor's decision, but Prince Geller's attitude towards several princes is very similar, and there is no obvious bias, so naturally he will not stand behind him to support him.
"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I also heard a secret story in the imperial capital. Mudface came closer to the fourth prince at this time, and the fourth prince could even smell the disgusting smell mixed with the stench and the smell of potion on Mudface's body, but he knew that Mudface must have something important to tell him, so he patiently asked, "What is it?"
"Prince Geller led the Black Guards to Wind Rock City, ostensibly to search for your whereabouts, but in fact, the Emperor gave you other tasks. β
"Other tasks, what tasks?" the fourth prince frowned.
"It is said that it is about an illegitimate son of His Majesty the Emperor. The muddy face gently spat out the secrets of the royal family.
"Bastard!?" exclaimed the fourth prince, who hurriedly looked around to make sure he hadn't alarmed the others, and then asked, "What the hell is going on?"
"More than ten years ago, the barbarians invaded the empire, and His Majesty the Emperor once supervised the war in Wind Rock City, and it is said that at that time he left his descendant, a baby boy, unknown to outsiders, and now he wants to regain his bloodline. The mud face said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "Your Majesty the Fourth Prince, you know, the emperor has always had scruples about the Holy See, and wants to get rid of the Holy See's control of the empire, but now each of the twelve princes has some connection with the church, and more or less has to rely on the power of the church, I suspect that the old emperor is not satisfied with the current twelve princes, he hopes to find his illegitimate child, and it is very likely that he wants to put the empire in his hands!"
"So, has the bastard been found?" the fourth prince asked the muddy face in a cold voice.
"From what I have observed, Prince Geller does seem to be looking for something these days, but to no avail, but ...... I suspect he's found it now. Mudface whispered, his eyes glancing at the banquet hall, and his gaze just fell on Ye Chui's body-
"Leaf Trai, formerly known as Wade, was orphaned by gangsters when he was six years old when he followed his family to do business, and has been living in the town of Stan ever since, entering the Tower of Magic Books on his sixteenth birthday without awakening the magic book, but when he was attacked that night, he summoned a worn-out white-covered magic book and quickly became powerful in just a few months...... There is no doubt that the magic guide book is a inheritance magic guide book, ordinary people will not have this kind of thing, there is only one possibility, it was left by His Majesty the Emperor in the first place!"
The mud face has already investigated Ye Chui's origin clearly, and the most powerful evidence of his argument is Ye Chui's completely unreasonable power - in just a few months, he has obtained more power than many people can only get in a lifetime, which shows that his magic guide book is too extraordinary, and it is something that was handed over to him when the old emperor left his bloodline.
In addition, Ye Chui is now sixteen or seventeen years old, and his age is close to the age that the illegitimate child should have, which makes people even more convinced.
The fourth prince's eyes widened and he looked at Ye Chui, who was sitting with Prince Geller in the banquet hall and laughing - the seventh grandfather had never shown such a cordial appearance to outsiders, it was because of this reason?
"The sudden appearance of the missing little princess of the Anduin family and accompanying this Ye Trai makes one wonder what she knows......" Mudface continued his speculation, "Maybe she is the bureau that the emperor has set up a long time ago, and is responsible for protecting this thirteenth prince to grow up!"
"This guy ...... It must be removed!" The fourth prince said in a hoarse voice, new hatred and old grudges accumulated, he understood that Ye Chui's identity must not be revealed, and the eyes that looked at Ye Chui became extremely cold.
Then, at this moment, even the fourth prince himself did not notice that a red light flashed in his eyes...... [.]
