"Besides, I don't see how guilty he is."
Eric shrugged, not having the slightest respect for the role of father.
Maybe there are some royal secrets that she doesn't know about
But no matter how curious Si Tu is, he knows that curiosity will kill the cat.
"Where is my desk?"
Situ cut the topic abruptly, but Eric didn't seem to want to let her go easily.
Pointing to the table opposite him, Eric chuckled and said,
"Since you're here, don't think about leaving my side again."
So what if Andre invited her to be his dance partner one step ahead
On the night of the state banquet, he would ask his father for her to marry him.
When my mother married my father, she was also at the same age as A Tu.
Presumably his 'deeply guilty' father would never reject him!
[The host is very fond of it]
Seeing that Eric's favorability was about to reach full value, the system urged Situ to work harder.
But the system made its voice hoarse, and the host didn't see a word to it.
"Even if you are as noble as the prince, there is absolutely no reason to stay with the sister of the head of the Knights Templar for a long time."
After the state banquet, who cares about him!
"Then let us wait and see."
Eric didn't explain much, he still prefers to see her surprised expression.
The warm sunlight scattered in the study room, and the sound of writing salsa made Situ's heart itch slightly.
Although Eric is usually a bit vile, but I have to admit that this man is very charming when he is in the office.
"What? Have you checked all the books?"
Continuing to process the documents in his hand, the man lowered his eyes, but he was still able to accurately capture Si Tu's small movements.
Si Tu, who was obsessed with masculinity and couldn't help himself, came back to his senses in an instant, what did she want to ask him just now
system:…
Tsk tsk, woman.
"Oh, by the way, the amount on this ledger has already exceeded the actual price by three times."
Si Tu waved at him the ledger of the first district in his hand.
This is not a small sum, and this bad debt has to be borne by the royal family.
No wonder the tax revenues of the northern districts have soared in recent years.
Eric looked up and chuckled softly,
"His appetite is not small."
triple the price...
Enough to buy a well-equipped knight order.
Situ frowned, the 'he' Eric mentioned could not be the lord of the first district.
That was Keynes, who also had the right to inherit, Eric's cousin.
"Want to hear a story? Such sunshine is perfect for storytelling."
Putting down the pen in his hand, Eric leaned back, letting the glare of the sun envelope him.
In fact, Si Tu didn't want to know too many secrets about the royal family.
But looking at the man in front of him who took off his disguise and revealed a tired face, Si Tu's heart softened.
Forget it, she will take it as a good deed and become his listener for a day.
Handing him the milk brought by the maid at the table just now, Situ naturally pressed his shoulders for him.
She would do the same when her brother was tired from work.
This time, consider it a reward for listening to stories.
"Thanks."
After taking a sip of the sweet milk in the glass, Eric squinted his eyes in comfort.
Tsk, I never thought His Royal Highness, who always had eyes above the top, would thank you.
"My father was not my grandfather's favorite heir back then. If it hadn't been for the great war ten years ago, I am afraid that Keynes' father would be sitting on the throne now."
The strength in Si Tu's hands gradually increased, and his eyes darkened.
It seems that the great war ten years ago changed not only her own fate.
"My father led the people of the northern border to victory, but the seeds of jealousy were buried in the heart of my uncle."
"He joined forces with the Black family in District 3 to create a political scandal against my father, but in the end he was discovered by grandpa."
"Charlemagne Black was my father's best friend at that time."
As painful as betrayal is, so is the desire for power.
"That's why your uncle's lineage will be exiled from the royal city and become a great nobleman in the first district."
Si Tu said softly, inexplicably feeling a little distressed.
Today's first district is developing rapidly, and there is a faint tendency to surpass Wangcheng.
In recent years, Cairns has had close contacts with the lords of other districts.
Being so unscrupulous, he didn't take the imperial power seriously.
No wonder Eric was under so much pressure.
"He is not an ordinary nobleman. He can develop the first district to the same level as the royal city in such a short period of time. It should not be underestimated."
Even now, Eric has never let his guard down on the First District.
Even the affairs of the third district were personally supervised by him.
The purpose is to sound the alarm for Keynes and prevent him from interfering.
"But since the Black family and your uncle jointly created this political scandal, why weren't they implicated back then?"
Logically speaking, shouldn't the Black family be punished more severely
"Since it is a scandal, it must not be made public. This is my grandfather's idea and my father's idea."
It is the God of Light who has allowed the Black family to survive for such a long time.
"Little lambs must be fattened before they can be slaughtered, and the same principle applies to the third district."
Eric turned the glass in his hand with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
It's hard for Charlemagne to think that his father will really settle down with him.
In fact, it's just thinking about putting a long line to catch big fish.
As for the political scandal that year, was the father really the victim
I'm afraid it's just a bureau of his own making.
"So what are you going to do with this ledger?"
Regarding the relationship between Wangcheng and the first district, Si Tuke couldn't make any decisions.
"I heard that Keynes married a new wife last year. I think we can meet him on the day of the state banquet."
Since he didn't want to talk about it, Si Tu handed him the account book and went out to get some air.
Living in such a depressive environment, it's a hell of a mental health.
But speaking of it, he is also quite pitiful.
When he was young, he lived alone in the cold palace. Although he was well-clothed and well-fed, he didn't have any warm company around him.
Until now, he is also very lonely.
Si Tu walked slowly on the gravel path, lost in thought, but accidentally bumped into someone.
"My baby really likes to hit my chest, there's really nothing I can do about you."
The familiar and magnetic tone came to Si Tu's ears, and a force was firmly restrained around his waist.
Odyssus blinked his black eyes, and a happy smile appeared on his lips.
Unexpectedly, they will meet again so soon. Isn't this a good fate destined by heaven
"You, you..."
