Chapter 11: Frank Nicholas
"Hello Her Majesty. Nicholas tried his best to restrain the excitement in his heart, maintained a courtesy bow to Vral deeply, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I feel sincerely honored to stand with you now. You are all powerful demigods, and you are all my elders, and it is no exaggeration to say that I grew up listening to your legends, and I have always fantasized about working with you. Today, I have finally got my wish, not only to see you in person, but also to participate in the meeting on behalf of my father and the emperor, and I hope that you can forgive a young man's gaffe. ”
"His Royal Highness doesn't need to be so polite. Vral smiled faintly and nodded to Nicholas: "I heard that His Majesty Farrar has officially confirmed His Highness's inheritance six days ago, I was guessing what kind of person His Royal Highness the Prince is, and today I finally met His Highness, and it is really very similar to His Majesty Farral." I once met His Highness Falar back then, and he was younger than His Highness now, but I must admit that His Highness is very similar to His Highness Farlar back then, both in appearance and temperament. In the future, I hope to see the Falar Empire under your leadership have more exciting performances on this big stage. ”
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your compliment. Nicholas said with great energy: "I will definitely follow my father's example and do my best in the future to build the empire better, so that the empire can make greater contributions to the future of the Yarra world." ”
Nicholas didn't say too many polite words, nor did he show too much scheming in the conversation, and he could even say that every word and every expression was sincere, because he hadn't forgotten that less than ten minutes ago, when everyone's attention was focused on the approaching envoys, his eyes suddenly flickered, and then he found himself standing on a strange desert half covered with bones, and Pannis was standing in front of him with his hands on his chest, staring at him with strange eyes. This moment. Nicholas finally understood something, remembering his actions and thoughts a few years ago, a cold sweat oozed uncontrollably from his forehead.
"There's nothing else to pull you in, and you don't need to be nervous. "Pannis's appearance is no longer as playful as he used to see. With a solemn expression, he said to Nicholas: "You should attend this kind of meeting of demigods representing different forces for the first time, this kind of meeting is different from your political meetings, I guess you don't know how to do it, so I will pull you in separately to remind you, so that you don't look like an alternative when the meeting is held." In the end, it will be disgusted by everyone. ”
"Uh, thank you for your kindness. Already knowing that he was facing a demigod with hidden strength, Nicholas put aside his status as a prince and took the initiative to use the honorific: "May I ask what I should do?"
"It's easy, but it might be hard for you. Pannis said: "In a meeting for a while, you can say whatever you want, do what you think, don't use the diplomatic methods and conversation habits of your nobles, and don't let others guess the meaning of your words." Although these demigods are the leaders of a faction, they are familiar with what you are used to. It's easy to do, but we don't care about it. For them, a meeting full of quarrels is also much better than the kind of meetings full of hypocrisy and suspicion that you are used to. ”
"I see. Finding that Pannis really wanted to remind himself, although Nicholas felt very puzzled, he still took Pannis's words to heart, nodded seriously: "That is to say, let yourself be as straightforward and honest as possible, you don't need to deliberately flatter, and you don't need to deliberately cover up or avoid disagreements." Just express your intentions and opinions directly, right?"
"Looks like you get it. Pannis lowered his gaze, stared down at the ground and said, "Then it's all right, let's go back." They don't know what I'm talking to you, but they can guess it. You don't have to think about what to hide, now that they've guessed it, they won't ask again. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Pannis, but ......," Nicholas remembered Pannis's words a few seconds ago. Immediately did so, and asked the question that I would have only pondered and analyzed in my heart: "Actually, I know that we didn't get along well before, and I want to know, why did you suddenly help me?"
Pannis turned his back to Nicholas and said softly: "She is a Ferrar after all, although she has left Faral, I don't think she wants to see her original country being bored by the leaders and powerful people of the surrounding countries." ”
"She's ......," asked Nicholas tentatively, "do you mean Catherine?"
That's a good question. Pannis smiled bitterly and sighed deeply, his voice as soft as a breeze: "I also want to know the answer to this question now, who is she referring to?"
When Nicholas recovered from the trance of memory, he found that Odin was ready to continue the introduction, and the elf queen in front of him looked at him with a smile that seemed to have seen through the memories in his mind. Nicholas suddenly realized that these eyes seemed to have just met not long ago, and when he came out of Pannis's inherent mental realm, one of the two women who was originally standing beside Pannis, wrapped in a cloak, glanced back at him with the same eyes, and when he thought about it, both the eyes and the deep meaning were exactly the same. After being surprised, when he looked back, sure enough, there was only one person left next to Pannis, who was wrapped in a black cloak.
"These Majesties are definitely more familiar than us, so I won't introduce them much. Odin's smile was kind, and he pointed to Pannis and the ladies behind him and said: "This small meeting between the two sides is only attended by us people, and Her Majesty has no objection to the selection, and a more in-depth meeting will be held in Neville City." ”
"Of course not, I'm satisfied. Vral greeted everyone with his eyes: "As for our side, only me and Rebecca, the ruler of the royal court, will participate in the meeting, and the rest of them will let them go to the hotel to rest first, they are mainly responsible for the details of the negotiation later, and they will not participate in the meeting in the past few days." ”
"Okay, I see. Odin waved to the officials behind him, and these officials of the Holy Capital consciously acted as guides, guiding the rest of the elven mission away, leaving only Vral and a female elf behind him who looked like a human in her thirties.
"Your Majesty, then, please come in. Odin led and said, "Let's start as soon as possible." (To be continued.) )
