Boys and girls gathered outside the palace gates. Through here, they can look down on almost the entire castle. From time to time, they stand on tiptoe, trying to show their idols from the crowd that is gathering in the distance.

From the square, a strange army protruded a fast horse. Gabriel immediately shouted, "That's Brother Guzi!"

Everyone was excited and looked at the road to the palace together.

Oh my God, what's going on? The smiling, radiant Chosen One of yesteryear hangs his head like a defeated rooster!

His face looked very haggard, and his stubble beard arched like mushrooms after a rain. Not only were his eyes sunken in, but his eyes were also bloodshot.

Before Resa could jump off his horse, he had already come to him quickly. She tilted her little face and tried to keep the tears in her eyes, but it was a cistern, and there were still a lot of overflows.

"Brother Guzi ......"

"You're here?" Gu Shiyu jumped off the horse, and then touched Ruisa's head as usual.

If this had been before, Renesa would definitely object to it!Brother Guzi, why do you always treat me like a child?

But today she seems very docile. Alas, since I can't be your beloved, then obediently be your little sister......

Gabriel, Lucifer, and Jasmine also gathered around.

"Brother Guzi ......"

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Shiyu said with a strange look at them.

"Nothing...... I just miss you a little bit......"

"Me too!" Gu Shiyu nodded and said, "I told you what you did, how did you do it?"

"Brother Gu Zi, it's very strange, since the two vampire injuries outside the town, there has been no similar thing. We searched for many days, but we didn't find any clues. Maybe it's slipped away. ”

"That may be a good thing! Then let's put this matter aside for the time being! From now on, you are the most trusted people around me, and I will ask you to do something for me!"

"Are you saying that you want us to be the face of the bonds? His Majesty King Saiya and Cuthbert have already told us!"

"Brother Guzi, we want to go to the battlefield......"

Gu Shiyu shook his head and said: "You must know that the war is not more than anyone's people, but also more than economic strength. The armor we wear, the weapons we hold in our hands, every arrow we shoot, and every loaf of bread we eat are all things that need to be purchased with money! A hundred well-fed elite soldiers can definitely defeat a thousand hungry and dizzy enemies!" Gu Shiyu looked at the young men and said, "You may think that what I want you to do is not like what a brave soldier should do, but I want to say that what you do today may become the key to our defeat of the enemy! Are you willing to accept this glorious and arduous task?"

"Yes!" the boys and girls puffed out their chests.

"Gabriel, Lucifer, I chose you because you can represent me! Ressa and Jasmine can represent ...... Princess Catherine!"

"I don't represent her!" Ressa pouted, "I represent you......!"

Gabriel tugged hard at the hem of her robe, and Renesa immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

"Then I'll represent Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine alone!" Jasmine said proudly.

"Well, you must keep in mind who you are and what your mission is! In addition to promoting the bonds in the Iron Fist Castle, you must also go to every place in Erathia! I hope that you can be like a tinder to make Erathia ignite a fire against the invaders!"

The palace is already busy. In addition to the people who arranged the party scene, one after another messengers rushed out of the palace gate and sent invitations to the Iron Fist Castle and every nearby prince and noble, every dignitary.

"Guzi, you should have a good rest!" said Saiya as he walked over to Gu Shiyu.

"Saiya, I'm fine...... Really!" Gu Shiyu avoided Saiya's gaze.

I don't know how you've been resting these days?" She whispered, "You can't do this! People would prefer to see a prince regent who is full of energy and confidence than you are now!"

“...... You're right! Looks like I'm going to have to get ready!"

When Gu Shiyu passed by the boys and girls, they were sitting around Cuthbert and listened to him talk about the grand occasion when Gu Shiyu held a product promotion meeting in the Lost Land.

"It was a big festival! All the people in Lston came out! The whole square was a sea of joy!"

"The human hero from Erathia and the dwarven hero from Eli worked together to sell all the products in one morning, with a turnover of at least 100,000 gold coins!"

"Oh my God!" the boys and girls all looked at Gu Shiyu's distant back with great admiration.

"Even Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine was there! When she stood in the crowd in a long flowing dress, oh, that was a goddess!"

"I don't think she'll look that good in a dress!" Ressa pouted, "She's just a tomboy, she wears armor all day long, and she stares at people at every turn!"

For some reason, when it comes to Princess Catherine, Ressa is always angry!

Jasmine is gone! Who called her Princess Catherine's personal guard and spokesperson? She immediately shouted, "You're a tomboy wild girl! Only you don't deserve to wear a dress! Even if you do, you'll be as funny as a little monkey in a circus!"

"You're a tomboy wild girl!" Ressa argued, "I think you're at least dozens or hundreds of times wilder than me! At least I still want to be a lady sometimes, and you often run all day and night without finding anyone!"

As soon as they began to quarrel, Gabriel and Lucifer immediately sneaked away.

Don't get involved with these two women...... Oh no, these two girls are arguing! Not to mention that sometimes they quarrel as if they are about to start a fight, and after the first half of the time, they will hold hands and jump in front of everyone!

It would be terrible if Ressa asked Gabriel and Jasmine asked Lucifer to decide who was right and who was wrong! If they didn't say it well, they would be like kittens with their tails trampled on, and now they have a lot of bruises on their bodies!

When twilight began to fall, there was a lot of traffic outside the court. The dignitaries held the hands of the ladies and ladies and walked into the palace.

In the palace, couples dance happily on the dance floor to the sound of violins, harps and bagpipes. King Saiya, accompanied by Gu Shiyu, walked among the guests, frequently raising his glass to the people and accepting their flattery and compliments.

Cuthbert and his assistants lobbied unsparingly in the crowd......

Gu Shiyu felt that the muscles on his cheeks were about to stiffen. He knew that the expression on his face was definitely not a smile now. If you insist on having something to do with laughter, it must be a bitter smile.

This is the life you want to live every day?

Wearing a false mask, in the midst of the bright lights, smelling the strong smell of perfume, and a large group of politicians who seem to be elegant, but have intrigues in their hearts, play tricks, deceive each other, and use each other?

In the crowd, he heard the whispers of the nobles.

"Look at the nouveau riche! he thinks he is Erathia's face! Truth be told, he is like a lowly maid, sewing a filthy tablecloth full of holes with clumsy needlework!"

"Who's to say it isn't, if it weren't for the fact that he was covered by someone, I wouldn't have bothered him at all!"

"I'd like to ask him, how much money is your family willing to pay for the treasury? I heard that their family has enough money!"

"I said Princess Saiya...... Oh no, King Saiya is pitiful enough! Why should she listen to the nonsense of the Chosen One, and beg for alms like a beggar at the beginning of her reign?

"Don't say I don't have any money, and even if I had, I wouldn't buy that waste paper! I can't think of any other use for that waste paper than to use it in the toilet!"

The handful of nobles laughed.

"Be quiet, His Majesty the King and Prince Regent are over there!"

"Oops! They're coming!"

The nobles greeted the two who came and bowed politely.

"Saiya, I feel a little uncomfortable......" Gu Shiyu couldn't stand it anymore.

"Please hold on, okay?" Saya said in a low voice, "To be honest, I don't like this atmosphere either! If even you are not by my side with me, then I won't be able to stay for even a moment!" She took Gu Shiyu's hand and pleaded, "I hope you haven't forgotten the purpose of our ball......"

"Okay!" Gu Shiyu sighed. Now he just hopes this damn prom party will end sooner.

But the ball ended much later than expected. Maybe the party was a success!

How many people are willing to miss such a rare opportunity? Not only can they eat and drink, but they can also talk about power and magic with like-minded people! They may even take the opportunity to meet a few ladies and have a romantic relationship...... It's so pleasant to think about!

When the crowd dispersed, and only the cups and lamps were left in the huge palace, Saiya, Gu Shiyu, Cuthbert and others were so tired that they collapsed on their seats and didn't want to move.

It was clear from the look on Cuthbert's face that the evening did not succeed as he had expected.

The aristocrats would not be tempted by that little profit. They have enough wealth to not worry about the war in front of them at all.

When war comes, they are the first to be the object of both the enemy and the enemy. Whoever is king, or which race rules Erathia, they may be able to profit from it.

With a small amount of gold in their coffers and a few clever tricks, they can encourage civilians and rangers to gather and form a mercenary army in their territory to protect their families' lives and property. Of course, if you have time, you can also symbolically protect others, which will make you more prestigious and make your army stronger!

"Cuthbert, how many nobles do you think will support us?" said Sea, tiredly.

"On the surface, there are probably more than half of the people who promised us, but in fact, I estimate that less than a third of them really support us!"

"This result is beyond my mother's prediction!" Seya felt a hint of comfort.

"I'm not satisfied with this result!" Gu Shiyu said: "You can't rely on the nobles! They are like weeds on the wall, and they fall to both sides when the wind blows." What we can really rely on is the toiling masses, they are the biggest victims of the war, and we have to move them!"

"Your Royal Highness the Regent, you're right!" Cuthbert rubbed his temples and said, "I'm going to start issuing bonds publicly tomorrow, and it seems that I still have a lot to do!"

"When Kendall returns from Dia with his army, I will have the 1st Corps and the 2nd Corps work together to fight a few beautiful battles to restore confidence in all of Erathia!"
