"Philip is here. A nice female voice sounded, and Lord Lobit turned to look, her long golden waterfall hair draped over Caroline's body, and an elegant and simple pendant hanging from her earlobe, the princess of the empire was dignified and beautiful.

Philip didn't want to go, and it felt weird to sit with his brother's former woman.

However, under the gaze of more than a dozen eyes, not sitting with his fiancée has changed from an emotional problem to a political problem.

In desperation, Philip had no choice but to walk over and sit down in the vacant seat next to Caroline.

"Come, drink tea. Caroline refused the servant's move to pour tea for Philip, and took the initiative to pour fragrant black tea for Philip, and the delicate bumps were attached to Philip's arm, a very virtuous little wife.

The soft feeling came, Philip quickly grabbed the teacup and took a sip, since Grace was "sick", it had not smelled of meat for many days, Caroline's temptation was really fatal, Philip now wanted to gently touch Caroline's tender little hand, and then ......

Stop!

It's your brother's woman!

Philip hurriedly put his desires behind him, and after squeezing out a smile at the princess, he turned to the middle-aged curly-haired man who had just spoken to Lena.

"Uncle Dom, the proposal was a bit hasty, mainly because the six lords said that they couldn't wait and wanted to vote their allegiance to our royalists as soon as possible. ”

Dom was Philip's distant uncle, married to a woman from the Rose family, and he himself came from an old aristocratic family. After inheriting his father's position as a parliamentarian, he showed his extraordinary wisdom in several votes on bills of the royalist party, and he can be regarded as one of the few thinkers in the royalist party.

Dom also knew that there was not much point in pursuing whether it was hasty at this time, and he did not dwell on this issue too much, and then said: "The time is too short, and it seems that the Republican Party intends to submit this bill to a vote first, which is extremely disadvantageous when we do not win a majority of votes, and those swing lawmakers who eat meat and do not spit out bones will not easily support us when they do not see enough benefits." ”

"Let's take it one step at a time. Don't stress too much, Dom. Even if the bill does not pass this time, it will be a political exercise for Philip. Nicholas suddenly spoke from the throne, and then waved his hand to signal the end of the exercise. Members of parliament and staff exited the room.

"Carolyn. You stay. Walk with Philip. Nicholas stopped the princess of the empire who was about to leave, and with a loving expression on his face, Philip said. This is his father's way of telling Caroline that "we are family".

The young man and woman accompanied Nicholas into the back garden of the Blood Rose Manor, where the tall and sturdy tree stood tall in the wide meadow, and a gust of wind blew, bringing down the leaves, which looked a little messy.

Nicholas walked ahead, his hands behind his back and his feet creaking on the dry leaves, "Politics, like this leaf, falls in a mess and seems to have no track to follow." Nicholas looked up at a branch bent in front of him, plucked a half-dead leaf that was crumbling but not loose, and turned and handed it to Philip.

"But if we can reach out and pick the leaves off when they're about to fall, whether we should throw them in the trash for garbage or bury them for fertilizer, oh we have to say. Sometimes, with good planning, everything will be different. ”

Philip knew that this was Nicholas teaching himself from the side that the proposal for the reintegration of the Galia region was submitted too quickly, and the Republicans were caught off guard, and his own side did not react.

However, Nicholas did not say anything about Philip directly, Philip is now also the lord in charge of the side, and he is also the heir of the Ross family, he has his own dignity and face, and Nicholas will also take the initiative to help Philip maintain this.

Philip nodded, he did it in a hurry this time, just do it, and put forward the bill with the other six lords, but he didn't have much to plan, and he didn't think about how to pass the bill, and he would definitely not be able to take charge of the Rose family like today in the future.

The words had an effect, and Nicholas stopped there, and shifted the conversation to another aspect, "You may not have really touched Wellington's politics, so you can come with me to the House tomorrow." ”

The Imperial House?

Philip's heart suddenly stirred.

The falcon spreads its wings, and below it are the stars representing the thirty provinces of the Burgas Empire, and the huge coat of arms of the Imperial House hangs high on the snow-white walls, looking tall and solemn, and here the passers-by come and go with a courtesy and unusual grace everywhere.

"Lord Nicholas!"

Following behind his father, watching celebrities in smart suits bow to him and say hello, Philip also felt very honored.

No one, whether royalist or republican, can deny the great feats made by the imperial marshal, who guarded the frontier for more than ten years, led his troops into the heart of the Mandal Republic, personally commanded dozens of battles, and defeated hundreds of thousands of enemies.

Any partisan prejudice, any suspicion of loyalty, is pale in the face of such great merit.

Nodding slightly to a middle-aged man who had just come out of the council hall, and after greeting him, Nicholas asked, "Crawford, what's going on inside?"

Crawford shrugged with a "you know" expression: "It's not the same as before, they quarrel with each other, and it looks like they're going to eat the House's signature roast chicken again at noon." ”

Philip smiled slightly behind Nicholas, the roast chicken in the House is famous in the whole of Wellington, if the Royalists and Republicans can agree on a certain issue, it is that the roast chicken in the Imperial House is definitely the best in Wellington.

When there are lengthy bills to be debated in Parliament, the Council's chef will bring out his signature roast chicken so that these MPs don't waste time eating farther away from the House.

"Oh, who is this?" asked Crawford, seeing that the young man behind Nicholas looked somewhat similar to the Imperial Marshal.

"This is Philip the dog. ”

"Hello, Uncle Crawford, my father often referred to you as a rare statesman in the Empire. The skill of telling nonsense with his eyes open became more and more proficient, and Philip opened his mouth to send out a high hat.

"Ha Lu Ha" Crawford looked very happy, patted Philip on the shoulder and smiled: "The marshal has given birth to a good son, he is really young and handsome!"

After the pleasantries, Crawford pointed to someone outside the chamber and said that he had something to do, and the two sides parted ways, and Nicholas glanced at his son in surprise: "I remember on the road, I told you that there was a Republican named Crawford who was the most fierce person against your bill, you don't think that Crawford and I were not the same person just now, right?"

The smile on Philip's face continued, and he looked sincere: "Father, although my political skills have yet to be honed, the basic qualities of a politician who speaks nonsense with my eyes open have long been ......" (to be continued......
