"Dennis, I've been looking for you for a long time, and you're here. ”

Pavel's shouts of surprise and joy came from the dark entrance to the rooftop.

Dennis looked back and saw the drunken prince. Pavel's face was ruddy, and he had obviously drunk a lot of alcohol. But the consciousness is still sober. Dennis hurriedly walked over and held him up. I saw Pavel smile with infinite happiness on his face when he saw Dennis. He reached out and put his hand around Dennis's waist, and kissed Dennis's cheek with the strength of the wine. For Pavel, even having the whole of Kislev is not as happy as having Dennis. He felt that he was now the happiest and happiest time of his life.

A look of disdain flashed across Roy's face. But that didn't go unnoticed by the prince. When Pavel noticed that there was still a person standing on the rooftop, he saw that it was Ms. Roy, who had been in the hall before.

"Hello, Your Highness the Prince. ”

Roy smiled and saluted Pavel gracefully.

"Oh...... Sorry, I didn't see you here just now. ”

Pavel let go of Dennis, and the wine was half awakened by the wind.

"It's all right, Your Highness the Prince. Roy smiled, "It's dark here, it's normal you can't see me." ”

As they spoke, Dennis deliberately rubbed himself in Pavel's arms. Showing a very affectionate look. Clever Roy naturally knows what's going on. She has lived for hundreds of years, and these conspiracies and people's hearts have long been seen through.

All this was so normal that to her surprise, Dennis, who was only sixteen years old, had the IQ and emotional intelligence of a thirty-year-old human. All her actions were so appropriate, that in the absence of the prince she was calm and sharp-tongued. When the prince was there, he showed a delicate and pitiful look at the right time. Completely captured Pavel's heart. And when everyone was present, she was silent and well-behaved. Because, she is not a queen yet, and her status as a prince is still far from it. Silence and humility are best.

Roy just felt in his heart that this girl was not simple.

......

The hall of the Fergus mansion.

Honey cake, boiled quail eggs, braised venison, roast suckling pig...... At the banquet, the food was fragrant and the cups were staggered.

The guests enjoyed the wine while the servants fetched their own food. Among them, the plate of steamed mulos fish attracted everyone's attention. This streamlined fish lives at the confluence of freshwater and seawater, and has only half a month of spawning every year. Due to the special habitat, the spawning period is very short. As a result, the fish are also very scarce. And because of its delicious meat, it has been fished on a large scale, and now there is very little left of this fish in the whole of Kislev. To be able to see this plate on the wine table can be said to be a luxury. The moulos fish on the table is very beautiful because it is not its original color, but the color that only appears when it dies. It looks highly toxic, however, it can be eaten with confidence after being processed through multiple processes.

Dolly took a piece of fish from the servant's plate and put it in his mouth to savor it.

"Fergus, to tell you the truth, do you believe this prince who is not doing his job?"

Taking advantage of the time of the dinner, the nobles whispered below. A table full of food is just a disguise, and everyone knows that this is not an ordinary dinner party. 90 Literature Network

"Not doing business?"

The old nobleman put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at his old friend with a smile in his eyes.

"Hmph, old man, there's no need to tuck around us, the whole Kislev, everyone knows what kind of person Pavel is. Before this incident, he hadn't even officially appeared in public once, and he hadn't done anything decent. ”

Dolly said as he pouted the food in his mouth. It was as if the juice of the Muros fish was about to be sucked dry.

"It's true that he hasn't done anything big before, but this time it's different, and this time, it's not just us who support him. There were many, many soldiers, and ministers, including Roy. You know the power of her family...... "Fergus squinted, "and it's because Pavel hasn't done anything before that he's safest." Because no one would have thought that a piece of waste would do something to overthrow their mother. I guess even Caterina herself didn't think about it. ”

"He's just the one who's been thrust onto the stage of the times. There are countless pushers behind this, and without him Pavel, there will be others who will be pushed up. ”

Fergus added. As one of the first supporters of Pavel, he was well aware of the situation in front of him. Gambling is like a gamble, betting on the right person will yield more than any investment. But if you bet on the wrong person, you won't even be able to save your life.

"It's not for nothing that there were people who opposed Caterina before, but they all failed. ”

Dolly muttered.

"This time and that time. ”

Fergus still narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"It's a different situation now. At the time of the Erengrad rebellion, the country seemed to be in turmoil, but in fact the city of Kislev was as stable as a rock. In the palace, there was a one-sided crusade against the rebellious Erengrad rebels. No matter how rich an Erengrad is, he cannot be the enemy of the whole of Kislev. Later, Grand Duke Cohen rebelled and laid siege to the Bandagar Palace. That guy is just a cow, the time is not ripe, and the strength is not enough, but he insists on drilling to death. Even if he had captured the Winter Palace and Katarina's army had arrived, Cohen would have to surrender the city of Kislev. Both of these were petty fights. ”

Fergus said—

"Until Rhodes revolted in the North. This is no ordinary rebellion. The whole north is connected, and Kislev's side has just been ravaged by the greenskins. The Ice Queen's strength has been greatly reduced. I have to say that the timing of Rod's choice is really good. There couldn't be a better time than this time. The opponent is in the weakest state, and the repeated wars and disasters have made the resentment in the hearts of the people to the extreme, and Rhodes raised troops at this time, just in response to the call, and those anger that had nowhere to release all broke out at this moment, and I heard that the civilians who joined the Northern Army had to line up......"

"There has never been a better time to start a troop. It was like a fire, it ignited at a moment, you see, in just half a year, Rhodes swept away all the resistance forces in the north, including Erengrad. The situation is so good that even the empire wants to get a piece of the pie. This fire is the fiercest fire in two hundred years, and believe me, it's not over yet. When he burns to Kislev, it will be another bloody storm. In such a situation, no matter how powerful Caterina is, she cannot cope with so many crises at the same time. ”

"So are we going to support Rhodes or Pavel?"

Dolly asked, frowning. Fergus just smiled.

"To support Pavel is to support Rhodes. ”

Fergus replied with a smile. He deliberately didn't say anything, however, people who are a little smarter already know the meaning. Pavel is just a springboard for everyone to use him to achieve their own ends, and he is nothing more than a pawn in this power game from beginning to end......
