Chapter 122: Eders, who miscalculated

Taking the Battle of Warcraft Crossing two years ago as a turning point, the balance of victory in the battle for the crown prince of the Kingdom of Lloris has completely tilted in favor of the eldest prince Richard since then.

The Nolan clan, which lost the Black Tiger Mercenary Group as a secret source of information and the secret foreign aid, was even publicly warned by the Solan Cult after many investigations to learn the truth of the incident, although the second prince Prince Naris, although he still has some political and military resources in his hands, he has been far overwhelmed by his brother in terms of reputation and prestige, and even the sage Tucker, who was originally loyal to Naris, gradually became inseparable from him as the situation developed.

At present, the old king is already critically ill, and almost 80% of the administrative instructions and royal decrees issued by the Kingdom of Loris in the past year are from the mouth of the eldest prince Richard, who served as the superintendent of the country at the behest of the old king. As the largest representative of the neutral faction in this crown prince battle, the Duke of Mana, the head of the four dukes of the kingdom, naturally saw that it was only a matter of time before Richard inherited the throne, so the marriage with the royal princess was officially included in the family plan of the Duke of Mana.

The eldest prince Richard can only be regarded as decent in governing the country, and he is not enterprising enough to be more than successful, but he has considerable courage and skill in the power struggle. The Duke of Mana knew very well that if Richard succeeded to the throne, the political resources that the four dukes secretly included in their hands while the old king was old and weak would definitely be wiped out by the new king, and in order to ensure that the new emperor who was good at consolidating power would not temporarily take out something else, the best way was to take advantage of the current situation of the other party but only a critical step away from the other party to obtain some bargaining chips from the other party as a guarantee.

Therefore, as early as a year ago, the Duke of Mana began his own design, which can be used as a guarantee of a lot of chips, and the only daughter of the eldest prince, Princess Sekaria, is undoubtedly one of the most suitable chips, but it is definitely not easy to pull out his palm pearl from the hands of the eldest prince.

Therefore, in addition to the game in the court, the Duke of Mana also decided to find another way, starting from the princess herself, so that his own son, who is a little high or low in terms of scheming and ability, can only play the son who is very interested in women to get the princess out, which is equivalent to grabbing Richard's lifeline, maybe take this opportunity The Mana family even has a chance to go to the next level.

Eders did live up to his father's expectations of him, and he became even more ambitious for Sekaria after getting his father's secret support, and the Duke of Mana even acquiesced to Eders's use of a part of the intelligence forces outside the family to collect information about Sekaria's preferences and experiences from all sides, so as to ensure that he could learn about Sekaria's preferences as soon as possible and create a large number of so-called "coincidence" encounters between the two - for example, this time, he was the eyes and ears of the student union, It was Brie, the vice president whom he had secretly promoted, who learned of Sekaria's name in this small society.

Whatever the purpose of Sekaria to make such a play, such an opportunity to be able to get along directly with Sekaria must not be missed. Eddes knew that Sekaria didn't have a good impression of him and seemed to have some complaints, but it didn't matter, the point of conquering a woman was to make this woman understand from the bottom of her heart that no matter what she did, she couldn't escape her shadow, wishful thinking or something, it was just a joke for Sekaria and people like him.

Although Eddes is not as eloquent as Sekaria in the academy, he can be regarded as a person who has a considerable amount of voice in the academy, and he does not need to be personally involved in what club he wants to join. But this time is different, if he wants to leave the relationship of the student union Brie, it is very likely that he will be noticed by the stinky girl named Xia Li under Sekaria, and then let Sekaria know about it, maybe she will let her slip away again. But if the minister of the club personally nodded and agreed to join the ministry, then as long as he closed his mouth and waited until the deadline for recruiting new members of the club to submit the application form that had already prepared all the formalities, even Xia Li, who was in charge of the club, could not find a legitimate reason to shirk it, and Sekaria could only accept the fact that she was in the same club.

As for how to deal with this little club minister who also plays a key role, to be honest, it really made Eders put a little effort into it, and the trouble is that this wolf girl who is the minister is a foreign student who seems to have an old friendship with Sekaria.

After the incident in the open-air café, he also did some research on the wolf Lori who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, as he expected at the time, this wild girl named Cheruth seems to have a lot of old friends with Sekaria, and it is the first time in a few years that Sekaria can rush to find someone to catch up with when school starts, but what makes him strange is that he has not found any information about this old friendship at all.

The only thing I know is that the little girl in front of me who has the ability to make Sekaria take the initiative to join the club is a student from the Northland Wolf Clan, but she does not have a prominent position in her country like other international students, she is just the sister of a wandering merchant of the Wolf Clan from the Northland...... I have to say a digression here, money and power have not been separated since ancient times, just like the Parsons Chamber of Commerce in the Prude Empire, the power of the Seagull Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Loris is also the largest force among the people, although it is a little reluctant to face the spying of the state apparatus and the royal family, but it is enough to cover the eyes and ears of Edus's subordinates, after all, the Duke of Mana allowed Edes to use only those inappropriate intelligence spies on the periphery of the Mana family.

In short, Edus, who didn't know that the wolf wandering merchant named Helo was the famous "Northland Wolf", was very confident that this wolf girl would not refute her face as the son of a duke. If it was a noble international student in his own country like Sakura Ki or the Gaya duo, it would be a different matter, just a small businessman who had left his hometown to do business, and he could do it himself in minutes without his father going out.

So, Eds came confidently, and until he saw the wolf-eared Lori wearing a weird but cute maid outfit in front of him, Eds didn't think he would be rejected.

Of course, Eders, whose life has been generally smooth sailing since he was a child, will not understand that if he wants not to be slapped in the face, he must first learn not to do things no matter how confident he is, and only consider one possibility, and secondly, the most important ...... Don't mess with someone who has the aura of the protagonist, whether that person is male or female.

“...... I wonder if you're going to take the test or try something else?"

Listening to Cheruth's polite question, Edus couldn't help but feel annoyed.

With his excellent background, gentlemanly disguise and handsome face, Eders has been very confident in communicating with strangers, especially girls, since he was a child, and he originally thought that even if Sekaria explained what to Chelus, his charm would be able to have some influence on this wolf girl.

However, at the moment, not only did he not show the slightest affection for him from beginning to end, but even the public opinion offensive he temporarily mobilized did not make Chelus shake even a little, but she was verbally countered.

Cheruth's last question was not small, so the onlookers could hear that this little minister who didn't eat oil and salt seemed to be coming to be true, but this time it was not as critical as just now, after all, Eders's image that he worked so hard to maintain in front of everyone was that kind of standard tall all-sunshine idol, as a fan of "Edes Senior", of course, he hoped that his idol could defeat the pretentious little girl in front of him in a dignified manner as always.

"Senior Edus, come on!"

"It's naïve to want to take down Senior Edus, little girl!"

There was a lot of support around, but as the object of support, Edus's face was worse than that of Cheruth, who was condemned by everyone.

He had heard from his subordinates that it seemed that there were rumors that Xia Li, the vice president of the student council, had personally invited this wolf girl to join his research team in the Magic Engineering Society, but was rejected, although Xia Li invited a new student of the Magic Guidance Department to join the group as Xia Li in the Academy's Magic Guidance Department, but it was rejected or something, which sounds ridiculous, so not many people believe this rumor, but if it is true, then it means that this invited wolf girl does have the qualities and talents that Xia Li, the genius of the Academy's Magic Wizard, is interested in in Magic Engineering.

If the other party really has a very high-end magic engineering problem, then he will undoubtedly lose face if he can't answer it, but in the current situation, if he chooses not to answer the question and leave, it will spread - the future Duke of Mana was scared away by a little girl in public, and it doesn't seem to be a very face-saving thing.

Edus gritted his teeth and forced himself to show a softer expression - of course, he wanted to laugh, but for some reason he couldn't laugh when he saw Chelus's seemingly slightly sarcastic eyes - and then lowered his voice and spoke.

"Minister Cheruth, perhaps...... Is there any misunderstanding between us?"
