Chapter 54: Alyssa's Troubles
"This ...... , I have something I want to ask you to help Luo Sheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Facing Luo Sheng's question, Alyssa rarely hesitated and said a little embarrassed.
"Eh, this isn't like your usual style! what the hell is going on?" Luo Sheng was slightly stunned and asked a little strangely. I have the impression that Alyssa has always been very decisive in dealing with things, and rarely hesitates. Now that things haven't been said, they seem very hesitant, and their usual behavior is very different.
"I just got the message. My father had already rushed back from the royal capital, and he would soon return to Cook to receive it. Alyssa looked at Luo Sheng's increasingly curious eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "But he didn't come back by himself this time, and he brought back a big trouble." ”
"Is it your suitor who has come back with Baron Cook in the royal capital? Alyssa, you are really popular!" Luo Sheng guessed the problem after a little thought. After all, what can make Alyssa feel troublesome and a little embarrassed is probably only emotional things. And Alyssa is so dazzling, even in the royal capital, she must be a high-profile figure, and it is normal for someone to chase after her from thousands of miles.
However, although the analysis in his mind was very rational, Luo Sheng couldn't help but feel a little pantothenic acid in his heart.
After getting up again from the altar of the fish man, Luo Sheng has always thought about how to improve his strength and how to ensure the safety of his family, and he has never invested too much energy in terms of feelings. Even in the face of Alyssa, a former crush, she basically doesn't have much thought, just getting along as friends. After all, there are countless difficulties and dangers in the future, and Luo Sheng really doesn't dare to indulge his feelings easily.
But even if he didn't have any ideas, when he heard that the girl he once had a crush on was being pursued by someone else, it was impossible for Luo Sheng not to react. The brain, which I thought was rational enough, also became a little hot at this time.
"Well, it's the youngest son of the Second Prince, Lord Neil. After glaring at Luo Sheng, who dared to ridicule her, Alyssa replied honestly: "When I was a squire in the Royal Forest Guards and studied with Teacher Marcia, he began to pester me. I ignored him at the time, but I didn't expect him to chase him to the house this time!"
Hearing the boredom and helplessness in Alyssa's tone, Luo Sheng didn't know why, his mood suddenly improved a lot, his brain calmed down, and he began to think about the problem in front of him.
"The son of the second prince, I remember that the Cook family has always been loyal to His Royal Highness the crown prince, so you don't need to care too much about the second prince, right?" After his mind cleared up, Luo Sheng immediately realized the problem.
As a hardcore member of the royal party, the Cook family has always been loyal to the king and the crown prince in politics. For the second prince who does not have the right to inherit the throne, it should not be too cold.
"It is true that our family is only loyal to the king and the crown prince, but because His Royal Highness the crown prince is not in good health, His Majesty the king is a little hesitant on the issue of succession, and does not divide it according to the custom, but acquiesces in allowing the second prince to stay in the royal capital. After all, they are members of the royal family, and they have the face of the second prince, and sometimes there is nothing he can do about his father!" said Alyssa with a distressed face.
"Is there a problem with the royal inheritance? No! There is a problem!" Luo Sheng nodded lightly at first, and remembered the news that he had heard in his previous life along with Alyssa's train of thought, and then his heart tightened violently, realizing the problem.
Although he fled from Elson very early in his previous life, Luo Sheng has been paying attention to the news of his hometown, so Luo Sheng remembers very clearly that it was indeed the second prince who ascended the throne of Elson later, and after he took the throne, Elson slowly became a church and completely knelt at the feet of the Holy See of Light.
Although he is not very familiar with politics, Luo Sheng also knows after two generations of ears and eyes that the Bright Holy See can control the entire Elson so quickly, and it will definitely not be the result of the support of the second prince after he came to power. It must have been before the second prince waited for the throne, and the two sides colluded together.
And thinking about it this way, the fall of Baron Cook in the previous life led to the fall of military power in the hands of the crown prince, and the second prince should have participated in it, using the influence of the kingdom to deceive Baron Cook, otherwise with Baron Cook's ability, it would not be possible to be so miserable.
"It's not good!" After thinking about this, Luo Sheng's tone suddenly became cold, and his eyes were instantly full of war intent.
This Lord Neil, who came with Baron Cook, is probably not just admiring Alyssa. A little prince, in order to pursue the daughter of a baron, traveled thousands of miles from the royal capital, is indeed very romantic and sincere, completely like a seed of infatuation. But Luo Sheng, who was accustomed to seeing the ugliness of the high-ranking nobles of the Yimir Continent, did not believe in this fairytale-like image at all.
Moreover, in his previous life, Luo Sheng joined the Cook family, and he had not heard of any prince heirs who came all the way to Cook Castle to pursue Alyssa, and it was obvious that the appearance of this Neil had something to do with his previous sweep of the Bright Judge's branch in Cook Territory.
Therefore, Luo Sheng prefers to believe that the other party wants to win over Baron Cook, a powerful faction in the army, through Alyssa, and at the same time investigate the true strength of Cook Castle for the Holy See of Light, find out the truth of the previous battle against the Bright Judge, and prepare for revenge in the future.
However, Luo Sheng's reaction fell in Alyssa's eyes, but Alyssa blushed slightly, and couldn't help but think of a rumor about Luo Sheng in Cook Castle: Luo Sheng has always insisted on refusing to become a retainer of the Cook family, and would rather give up the knightly knighthood at his fingertips, but also set up his own door, the biggest reason is not an ideal, but he wants to marry Alyssa openly.
After all, in the Yimir Continent, ordinary retainers are not qualified to marry the daughter of the sovereign. This rule was originally intended to prevent powerful retainers from seizing the inheritance of the lord through marriage. After all, if the main family has a weak generation, and a strong retainer who marries the daughter of the main family assassinates other heirs, he can let his wife ascend to the throne, so as to easily obtain the inheritance of the family. Later, this practice became a common practice, and the nobility would follow this rule unless there were special circumstances.
Because of this, if Luo Sheng devotes himself to the Cook family, even if he achieves something in the future, he will not be able to successfully combine with Alyssa. Therefore, Luo Sheng would rather take a more difficult road to knighthood than compromise on it.
Originally, Alyssa didn't care much about this kind of rumor. After all, as the first beauty of Cook Ling, there are countless gossips about her on weekdays, and it is not uncommon for there to be an extra version. And Luo Sheng has always behaved more like a friend, and he didn't show that he admired himself.
But now seeing Luo Sheng's excited performance, Alyssa seems to realize something, and her originally calm heart is also flooded. Compared with those sons and brothers who have empty status in the royal capital, but most of them are flashy and unreal, Luo Sheng, who is extremely talented, hard-working, self-disciplined, ambitious and rational and wise, seems to be very good.
"Luo Sheng, you don't need to be excited, I also know that Lord Neil is not good at coming, so I came to you to think of a way. Alyssa calmed her mind and said cautiously. Alyssa herself didn't notice it, and she unconsciously began to care about Luo Sheng's attitude towards this matter.
"It's really useless to look for me in this matter, right? The key depends on Baron Cook's attitude!" replied Luo Sheng with a frown.
Whether it is Luo Sheng or Alyssa, although their performances are very extraordinary, in the eyes of the real power, they are actually still insignificant children. The only one on the Cook family's side who can really influence the situation is Baron Cook. Only he, a gold-level warrior and a military giant, is qualified to participate in the game at the upper level.
"But father, he can't tear his face with the royal family for this kind of thing!" said Alyssa helplessly.
Born into an aristocratic family and living in the royal capital for many years, Alyssa is not ignorant of politics.
The Cook family has always been loyal to the king and the crown prince, but they are not fools. At a time when there is a possibility of a change in the position of the crown prince, it is definitely not a wise act to completely tear the face of the second prince who is likely to become the new crown prince because of a trivial matter. Therefore, even if Baron Cook is unwilling in his heart, he can't refuse this Lord Neil bluntly. If Alyssa wants to solve this problem, she must find a way to solve it herself.
"Then Alyssa, do you have any solutions?" Luo Sheng asked, suddenly his heart moved, and an extremely 'bloody' thought flashed in his mind, and then looked at Alyssa with some strange eyes. "Alyssa, you don't want me to be your shield, do you?!"
His mind was suddenly broken by Luo Sheng, Alyssa's cheeks turned pink with a swish, and the whole person became a little cramped and uneasy, and her breathing became heavy. Originally, when she didn't find that Luo Sheng cared about herself, Alyssa could still stay calm, but now, the situation is a little different.
"It's the only way I can think of. Would you like to help with this favor?" But after all, Alyssa had experienced a lot of big scenes, and she was not embarrassed for too long, and quickly calmed down, although she didn't dare to look directly into Luo Sheng's eyes, she still gritted her teeth and asked.
"Okay, isn't it just a lord, I'll help you with this!" Seeing Alyssa's rare shy look, Luo Sheng's heart fluttered, and before he could pass through his brain, he directly patted his chest and agreed.
"Okay, I'll release the news in the next two days, and you can cooperate a little when the time comes. Rest assured, this will not affect your future quest for knighthood. Hearing Luo Sheng's promise, Alyssa's heart was sweet, her expression softened a lot, and she comforted her very considerately.
In Alyssa's opinion, Luo Sheng is determined to become a real nobleman, and he definitely doesn't want to offend the royal family easily, because this will make Luo Sheng's road to knighthood much more difficult. And in this case, Luo Sheng can agree to help without hesitation, which is obviously a 'friend', so Alyssa will also do her best not to make Luo Sheng too embarrassed.
"Okay!" Although he could see that Alyssa seemed to have misunderstood, Luo Sheng hesitated in his heart, and finally gave up the idea of explaining, and nodded in agreement.
