Crown Prince Cadmus had a straight face, his feet stepped on the carpet in the corridor, and he made a "knock" sound, obviously the crown prince himself was in a very bad mood at the moment.

When the attendants in the palace saw the crown prince himself, they immediately stopped in fright and hid on both sides of the corridor in a panic.

Looking at the deferential eyes of the court attendants beside him, Crown Prince Cadmus suddenly felt a sense of boredom from the bottom of his heart.

He knew very well that these squires did not look at him the same way as they did at Callion IV.

When they looked at Callion IV, their eyes were full of flattery and flattery, like a pet dog that had a bad hand at his master.

But when they look at themselves, there is only retreat and fear in their eyes. There is even a hint of mockery and contempt in the eyes of some people who can't hide it.

This difference made Card's Chapter 1159 Father and Son (asking for a monthly pass) Prince Morse's heart extremely uncomfortable, as if they were constantly reminding him that he was not yet the master of this country, let alone their master.

The more Crown Prince Cadmus thought about it, the more angry his heart became, and his originally handsome face became gloomy, like a dark cloud before a storm.

He suddenly grabbed one of the attendants who was standing with his hands down against the wall, and then saw the fear in the other party's eyes, and suddenly came to his senses again.

As the heir to the throne, because of a certain national event, he was angry with his ministers, which is a manifestation of the emperor's domineering.

But if you get angry at the attendants because of a trivial matter, you are a sign of incompetence.

With the self-control he had cultivated over the years, he successfully suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a low voice, "Where is my father now?"

At this time. The young court attendant was already frightened, his face turned pale, and his whole body trembled.

He froze, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty...... 陛xià, in ...... In the garden. ”

Crown Prince Cadmus snorted coldly. He threw away the attendant, clapped his palms as if they were stained with dust, and then kicked open the door on his side with a strong kick, and walked in angrily.

The attendant watched his back disappear outside the door in a daze, and then he came to his senses, reached out and touched the neck of Chapter 1159 Father and Son (asking for a monthly ticket), and felt a burst of fear - just saw the crown prince's somewhat hideous face. He thought he was dead.

The crown prince of Cadmus strode through the palace and turned into the back garden with great familiarity. Immediately I found myself in a sea of lush greenery and colorful flowers.

Winters in Asselas are mild, and the gardens of the palace are full of flowers.

It's not just the plants of the Elven Kingdom. Even the precious flowers and trees of the human continent from south to north can be seen here.

In order to tending to these delicate plants, not only experienced gardeners, but also several high-ranking mages serve here.

And those young and beautiful maids of the prime age strolled leisurely among the flowers, contrasting with the delicate flowers. Forming a landscape that is far more beautiful than a picture.

However, at this moment, Crown Prince Cadmus felt that their figures were particularly eyesore.

He turned his head and glanced around, and then spotted the figure of Calion IV under a large oak tree not far away.

This emperor is like Caesar in the Terran epic. He was reclining in a chaise longue. Beside him was a beautiful maid who carefully peeled the fruit and fed it to him in small pieces. On the other side, there was also a maid who brought the wine glass in her hand to his lips from time to time.

Moreover, not far from him. A young woman in a red silk robe, with long pale blonde hair draped down like a waterfall, her skin as white as pure snow, a beautiful face, and big eyes with a charming smile.

She was sitting cross-legged on the grass, holding a six-stringed instrument in her arms, talking and singing, her voice ethereal and graceful, like a heavenly sound.

Behind her, a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old musicians held various instruments to accompaniment, and the music was so melodious that people couldn't help but feel like dancing along.

The sunlight shone on the woman's slender and delicate body, gilding her with a dazzling golden light, firmly attracting the attention of the crown prince of Cadmus, and she could hardly take her eyes off.

But then, the crown prince of Cadmus reacted, and the corners of his eyes jumped, forcing himself to look away.

Callion IV lay in his chair with his eyes closed, his thin hands clapping on the armrests, and a satisfied smile on the corners of his mouth, as if he was enjoying himself.

Seeing the king's appearance, the corners of Crown Prince Cadmus's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a look of disgust, such a beautiful flower was actually planted in a tree that was about to wither.

Crown Prince Cadmus secretly regretted, then changed to a respectful expression and said, "Father." ”

Callion IV did not seem to hear it, did not react at all, and still enjoyed the beautiful music with all his heart.

The crown prince had to raise his voice and shouted, "Father~!"

Callion IV raised his palm and made a silent gesture to the crown prince.

Crown Prince Cadmus gritted his teeth in anger, took a deep breath, and stood motionless next to him.

Until the end of the song, Callion IV got up from his chair, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Tritis's voice is getting better and better, I really can't live without you for a day." ”

A flush floated on the young woman's white cheeks of the young woman who played the piano, and she said shyly: "I hate Your Majesty, how can people be so good." ”

Kalion IV laughed heartily, then waved his hand and said, "Go down first." Come and eat with me at noon. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Tritis, with a smile on her face, got up gracefully, pulled up her clothes and nodded to Cadmus, and then left the garden with the piano in her arms, and very politely bowed her knees as she passed by the Crown Prince.

Cadmus nodded expressionlessly, turned his head to watch them disappear behind the flowers, and then said impatiently: "Father, humans are so rude, I ask your permission, we will suspend ......"

Callion IV raised his eyes and looked at the crown prince with displeasure, waved his hand to stop him from speaking, and said, "I have heard everything that happened in the morning. I asked you to negotiate with them, why don't you go on?"

The crown prince was stunned. Then he hurriedly explained: "It's not that I didn't talk about it, I just entered the door and didn't say a word, but that Lorraine shook his hand and left extremely rudely." ”

Calion IV gave him a strange look and said, "Cadmus." You even have grandchildren, don't you?"

The crown prince was stunned for a moment, and said inexplicably: "Little Louis is just six months old." ”

Calion IV looked at him dissatisfied, and said in a stern tone: "You are such a big person, don't you even know how to speak?"

"I ......" The crown prince's face turned red instantly, and he said hesitantly: "I just said that I want to discuss the details." ”

Callion IV sighed and said, "People are here for the alliance treaty, can you say that you can't come up like this?"

Diplomatic rhetoric, don't you understand?"

When it comes to the last sentence. He couldn't help but raise his voice, showing the irritation in his heart.

The crown prince pursed his lips and said nothing, and after thinking for a moment, he said slowly: "The alliance treaty was originally not communicated in the Council of Elders. ”

"Presbyterian ...... Hmph~!" Callion IV scoffed. A look of disdain.

The crown prince said: "Besides, the human shelf is too big, I only said that there are still details to be considered, and they turned around and left, obviously not taking the dignity of our kingdom in their eyes." ”

Callion IV looked at the crown prince with a strange look in his eyes, shook his head and said, "Then you blocked people last night and shouted the slogan of human beings get out." Just take their dignity in mind?"

The crown prince hurriedly said: "It's not ......"

Kalion IV's eyes were sharp as he stared at his son.

Cadmus couldn't help but pause, Callion's eyes were so sharp that he seemed to be able to see the darkest corners of his heart.

He couldn't help but bow his head and swallow the words of defense.

"I'm not dead yet~!" said Calleon IV, patting the table in exasperation.

The crown prince was frightened. Timidly looked at his father.

Callion IV sighed in disappointment and said, "What is diplomatic etiquette? Other than that, everything is fake. ”

The crown prince said in a low voice: "But the strength of our kingdom is not weak. ”

Callion IV patted his head and shook his head feebly. Waving his hand, he said: "Go back to me, figure out why we want to see me again with the Human Alliance, and don't go out until you figure it out." ”

"Yes," the crown prince pouted in agreement, and walked out of the garden with a grim face.

Behind him, he heard Callion IV say to his attendants in a brisk tone: "Go, call back my loveliest little birds." ”

Crown Prince Cadmus couldn't help but clench his fists in annoyance: This damn old thing~!

No wonder people secretly call him a traitor behind his back - all day long thinking about surrendering to humanity in order to live his own little life, never thinking about the interests of the elven kingdom.

×××××××

Lorraine turned around and walked out of the palace, jumped into the carriage and told them to go to the shopping street, and take his girlfriends to continue the cleaning that had not been done last night.

I played happily until the evening before dragging my tired body back to the hotel.

At this time, there was already an emaciated elf who was waiting in the hall, and when he saw Lorraine and Leo, he immediately jumped up from the sofa, bowed deeply, and said, "Chairman." ”

Leo waved his white and tender little hands, then spread his butt on the sofa, threw off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the sofa and rubbed the soles of his feet, and said lazily: "I'm tired." Hello, Pandelio Manager. ”

Lorraine also nodded to him, this person is the manager of the Elf Kingdom Branch of the Flying Eagle Group, or a high-level regional manager, although he is an elf clan, but he is also a pure Naian.

Elves say that tens of thousands of years ago, the whole continent was returned to a unified elven empire, with a developed magical civilization, and at that time humans still lived in caves and used stone axes to fight wild boars.

But later, the emperor of the empire tried to become a god in vain, angered the gods, and sent a natural disaster to destroy the entire empire, so the elves were all over the continent, and they were originally the masters of the continent.

This legend is the same as the story of the Great Goblin Empire, and it is only their own people who believe that humans are scoffing at it.

But whatever the reason, the elves are widely distributed on the continent, but their numbers are scarce. The manager in front of him was rescued by Lorraine from the fight against the slave trade, and was quickly promoted to a high position because of his loyalty, reliability, and shrewdness.

Pendelio's hair was more than half as low as when Lorraine sent him out, which showed that the manager was under a lot of pressure.

He cautiously opened the briefcase he had been holding in his arms. took out a stack of texts and put them on the table, and said, "I have prepared what you ordered." ”

"Good work," Lorraine complimented with a smile, admiring his caution. He can't help but be careless, if the contents are known to the people of the Elf Kingdom, many people will want his life.

"Cadmus, Burns, Jacquepoli......" Lorraine said, reading the name on the paper, "why would they oppose an alliance?"

Pendelio immediately explained: "Grand Elder Burns is the largest landowner in the country and the largest grain merchant in the country, and Jacquepoli is the commander of the Central Fleet. He is also Burns' son-in-law, the most promising future commander of the Navy, and they are against the alliance, to put it bluntly, all for their own interests. ”

Lorraine nodded. The largest landlord and grain merchant in the country, once the war starts, if the elves are neutral, the grain trade with humans will be cut off, and he will make huge profits from it.

Maybe you can even sell food to humans at war. In short, no matter how you look at it, it is a huge profit.

"They represent the interests of domestic merchants, they want to make war money, and they are even more reluctant to raise taxes, and they are very shrewd in their calculations. ”

"And what is the matter with the Crown Prince?" asked Lorraine, "why is he against it too?"

Pendelio groaned. "Although there is no evidence of the reason, but ......"

Lorraine encouraged him: "It's okay to be straight. ”

Pendelio licked his tongue nervously. said: "I personally estimate that it is because the crown prince is very ambitious. Probably to take advantage of both sides in the war and expand the power of the elven kingdom. ”

Lorraine and Leo looked at each other, and said that it would not be convincing if they made up their minds to take advantage, and then said, "Is there any basis?"

Pendelio spread his hands and said: "This is just my speculation, the crown prince served in the navy when he was young, he was known for his radical bravery, he once led the fleet deep into the ocean to destroy pirate bases, and then he has been pursuing an active forward strategy and occupied a large number of uninhabited islands in the sea. ”

Lorraine smiled slightly, as expected, always for their own interests and ambitions, and then laughed and said: "Ambition exceeds strength, and the final result can only be a tragedy." ”

Just like the Little Ascension Empire, his appetite is bigger than his own, not only supporting himself to death, but also challenging the giant with the body of a short man, and now he has become a domestic slave raised by others, not only has to accompany the master to bed, but also has to grind for the landlord's family.

Leo patted his belly and sneered, "Could it be that he still wants to rebuild the Elven Empire." ”

It's a joke about the human continent, and it's brought up all the time when mocking the arrogance of the elves.

Pendelio froze for a moment, and said, "I don't rule out this possibility." ”

Leo couldn't laugh all of a sudden, scratched his head stupidly, looked at Lorraine and said, "This guy has a brain pump, right?"

Pendelio said: "There is a popular saying in the Elven Navy that the Elven Kingdom should not be limited to the sea, but should have a broader vision. It was supported by some young Zhuang officers. ”

Lorraine shook the text in his hand, looked up at the ceiling, and said, "In the eyes of the elves, there is really such a possibility. ”

When humans and the undead clan kill you to the death, and there is no time for him to care, it is really not a difficult thing for the elven kingdom to get a territory on the continent, but it is difficult to keep it in the future.

No matter who has their hands free, they will attack the elven kingdom that takes advantage.

It is the norm of human beings to ignore the long-term for the sake of immediate interests.

Leo shook his head and said, "They're too wishful thinking, too. ”

Pendelio nodded and said, "The chairman is right, the people of the Elven Kingdom are very wishful thinking, and I am also very distressed when dealing with them, these guys are arrogant, stubborn, and think that they are always right." ”

After speaking, he talked helplessly. Apparently the general manager was a little disappointed in his compatriots.

"Culturally half a step ahead of human beings, living a rich life, and at the same time being closed off for too long, slowly became this mentality. Resting on one's laurels and arrogant. Lorraine commented.

Pendelio slapped his thigh and said, "Adults say a lot, that's it." ”

At this time, a maid who accompanied Catherine and them appeared outside the door, and said with a strange expression: "My lord, there is a person outside the door who claims to be the head of the court of the Elven Kingdom who asks to see you. ”

Lorraine and Leo glanced at each other, and Catherine stretched and muttered, "Coming so soon, I don't think he's old and confused." ”

"Ask him to come in. Lorraine casually put all the text upside down on the table, and then said.

Shaoqing, dressed in a formal suit, the meticulous and meticulous manager of the distribution appeared in front of the door, he bowed slightly to Lorraine with the standard and impeccable aristocratic etiquette of Catherine, and said in a bright voice: "See Your Excellency Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Lorraine, Your Majesty is blessed with Wan'an." ”

This is said to Schillelia.

Then he continued: "See Her Royal Highness Leo, Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, Miss Adele......"

Greet everyone, a long list of names and salutations are shouted without breathing, and not even a syllable is wrong.

Even nodded to Pandelio at the end and greeted: "Hello Mr. General Manager." ”

It's just a greeting, but it's done in every way, and it doesn't leak. The etiquette was impeccable. The aristocratic temperament of a perfect court steward is brought into full play.

Compared with him, Lord Luo found that he had been a commoner all his life, and he couldn't learn this way of speaking.

Lorraine stood up to greet Legos and said with a smile, "I wonder what happened to Lord Steward?"

Legos's expression was solemn but not too solemn, and his tone was full of kindness, and he said, "His Majesty the King has invited His Excellency the Deputy Commander-in-Chief to dinner. ”

"What should come will come," Lorraine chuckled in her heart, "It's a great honor." ”

Catherine stood up and said, "Wait a minute, let's go get some makeup." ”

Governor Legos looked embarrassed, with a look of regret, helplessness and regret, and said: "It's a private dinner, and His Majesty has only invited His Excellency the Deputy Commander-in-Chief. ”

The expression on his face was as sorry as if he was more sorry than Catherine.

"What?" Catherine and the other group of women looked at each other, and they could see the unease in each other's eyes.

Legos bowed apologetically to them, embarrassed.

Lorraine, with a serious expression, said: "Serious matter, I'll come back when I go." ”

Adele walked up, raised her white and tender arms, straightened the collar for Lorraine, looked like a good wife and mother, and on her face, with the expression of reluctance and admiration of his wife when sending her husband out, she said affectionately: "We check at night, if you dare to mess with any old pervert, you are ready to sleep on the sofa." ”

Lorraine hurriedly shook her head and said in a low voice, "I promise it won't." ”

Seeing Lorraine and Legos walk out of the room, Adele said thoughtfully, "That old guy must not be well-intentioned." ”

Leo and the girls nodded at the same time.
