Prince Raymond straightened his back, put on the most perfect smile on his face, and strode into the crowded hall.
His strong and well-proportioned figure, acquired through long-term exercise, set off his well-fitting and gorgeous formal attire, fully demonstrating his extraordinary style, attracting the burning gazes of a group of ladies from the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj diagonally across the way. , as if he was about to swallow Prince Raymond in one gulp at any time.
This is the palace of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj. When Prince Raymond came here, he felt as if he had come to the palace of the Kingdom of Lampali. He looked at ease and did not feel like a guest.
Because he came here this time to attend the surrender ceremony of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj held here.
As the representative of the Lampali Kingdom who presided over the ceremony, he is certainly qualified to assume the posture of a master, because after the surrender ceremony is signed, it represents the full surrender of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj to the Lampali Kingdom and its integration into Lampali. In the name of the kingdom.
After two and a half years of war, the Kingdom of Lampali finally completely defeated the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, forcing it to surrender completely. This was undoubtedly an extremely commendable feat for the Kingdom of Lampali.
You know, in the hundreds of years of history since the founding of the Lampali Kingdom, although there have been great achievements such as the destruction of the Sak Kingdom and the Frankish Kingdom, because at that time the Lampali Kingdom mainly relied on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Help, so it is generally not recognized.
But this time, the Lampali Kingdom defeated the Ahn'Qiraj Kingdom entirely by relying on its own strength.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always maintained an absolutely neutral stance throughout the war and has never deliberately favored the Lampali Kingdom.
Of course, people in the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj would never believe it.
Prince Raymond's eyes fell on the faces of the senior officials of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, represented by the King of Ahn'Qiraj, who were waiting for him opposite. He found that their smiles were very forced, and many of them had a hint of confusion in their expressions. There was no hidden ferocity or dissatisfaction, so he couldn't help but smile.
So what if you're not convinced? The fact is that the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj cannot resist the Kingdom of Lampali and is now completely conquered.
Even though there are still some opposition voices and forces within the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, they are already minor issues that are not worth mentioning and will not affect the overall situation.
Think of this. The smile on Prince Raymond's face grew wider, and he strode towards the representatives of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj opposite.
But after walking a few steps, he suddenly felt a special look from the crowd around him, which made him couldn't help but turn his head to look.
However, what he saw was just an inconspicuous woman hidden in the crowd. Although her clothes are gorgeous, she doesn't look much different from the ladies of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj around her.
But when the woman raised her hand and made a slightly strange gesture, Prince Raymond's eyes narrowed slightly.
Then the woman nodded slightly to Prince Raymond, then turned and left.
Prince Raymond paused slightly and continued walking forward.
This little episode didn't attract much attention. The entire ceremony continued in an orderly manner according to the established steps.
The surrender agreement was signed very smoothly.
Although several ministers from the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj sarcastically tried to create some obstacles, they were resolved one by one by Prince Raymond.
After all, the general trend has been set, and the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj has nothing to resist.
It was not until night fell that the ceremony and subsequent banquet, which lasted for several hours, came to an end.
Prince Raymond declined everyone's invitations and left the Ahn'Qiraj Palace.
After leaving the palace, he got on the Lampali Kingdom's motorcade, but instead of driving to the embassy that the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj had prepared, he drove all the way out of the royal city of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj.
Arriving about three kilometers away from the west gate of the royal city, the convoy stopped by a small river.
Prince Raymond got out of the car. He walked directly to another inconspicuous magic car parked on the river bank, opened the passenger door casually, and got in.
"Hey, Raymond, weren't you dragged away by some Ahn'Qiraj noble lady?" The person in the driver's seat turned around and asked Prince Raymond with a bright smile.
If anyone were here, they would be very surprised.
Because this person is actually Freya, the current president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!
Prince Raymond shrugged: "Freya, if you come to me, no matter how many noble ladies invite you, I can only push them away."
In front of Freya. The tone of his words was not at all like the "gentle yet majestic", "just yet benevolent" prince in the minds of the people of the Lampali Kingdom. He seemed extremely relaxed and casual.
Freya glanced at him and shook her head: "It's not appropriate for you to say such things to me. Besides, your son is already two years old, so don't think about spending time outside."
Hear Freya mention her son. Prince Raymond had a happy smile on his face.
"Haha, Hathor can run around now. I think in a few years, I can take him everywhere to play." After a pause, he smiled bitterly. "Speaking of love interests, I don't have much interest. But my mother has always hoped that I can find more. It would be best to have more children. She has always been very encouraging to me."
Freya snorted softly: "Does Aunt Sevigny really like to have more grandchildren?"
"She also considers the blood of our Lampali royal family, I can understand." Prince Raymond defended Sevigny again.
Freya glanced at Prince Raymond and shook her head: "Forget it, you royal family and people from the royal family just think differently from us ordinary people, so I don't bother to care so much."
Prince Raymond stared at Freya, thinking that you, the president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, are no ordinary people.
Then he thought of another question.
"Freya, speaking of this issue, when are you... planning to get married? You are already thirty this year... "
"Shut up!" Freya scolded fiercely. "Thankfully, you are still a prince. Don't you know that it is impolite to discuss a lady's age?"
Prince Raymond spread his hands helplessly: "But you can't help but admit this problem, right? I think even Uncle Xu and Aunt Steele must have been worried for a long time. Have you never considered it?"
"I asked you, a dignified prince and the future king of the Lampali Kingdom, if you can care about the major things that you should care about. Why are you asking me these questions?" Freya's eyes widened. "You want me to get married? OK, as long as you can find a man who is as good as my father, or slightly worse, then I will agree. Can you find him?"
Prince Raymond smiled bitterly.
Xu Yi has already become a legend in Sainz continent.
Whether it is a personal magister or a professional New Flying Chamber of Commerce, he has already reached the top level in the world. Where can he find someone else who can match him
"Okay, time is precious, let's stop talking nonsense and let's get down to business." Freya cleared her throat and continued: "Raymond, doesn't your Lampali Kingdom plan to develop aviation? I received the news yesterday. The Candela Empire has launched its sixth satellite into the sky, and the Malo Empire also launched its fifth satellite last month. If you give them some time, I believe they will be able to establish a complete satellite monitoring network. By then, others will not have this. The countries in the East and West will suffer a big loss, especially your Kingdom of Lampali. Although it looks great now that it has swallowed up the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, the gap between the two empires has actually been widened. You haven't worked hard yet. If we catch up, the gap will only get bigger and bigger in the future.”
Prince Raymond was silent for a long time and asked: "Did you mean this, or did Uncle Xu mean it?"
"That's what I meant. Father, he has stopped asking about things on Sainz's continent for a long time. It's not like you don't know."
"Hmm..." Prince Raymond thought for a while, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I have thought about this problem a long time ago. I also think that our Lampali Kingdom should vigorously develop the aviation industry and not fall behind too far. But. Mother, she..."
Freya stared at Prince Raymond for a while, then suddenly rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "You said... Aunt Sevigny has refused to vigorously develop the aviation industry these years. Is she still angry with my father? ?”
Prince Raymond glared at Freya and wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth and was unable to refute.
Since Xu Yi returned to Sainz Continent three years ago to promote the space program, many countries on the continent have begun to enter and vigorously develop the aviation industry. The two empires even successfully launched the first artificial satellite into space as early as last year. .
As a magical industrial system and technological accumulation that is not inferior to the two empires, and is even more outstanding in many aspects, the Lampali Kingdom should have developed extremely rapidly in the aviation industry.
However, the Lampali Kingdom seems to be not very interested in the aviation industry. Not only does it not develop vigorously, it even resists it.
And all of this comes from Queen Sevigny’s inexplicable resistance to the aviation industry.
No one knows why Queen Sevigny, who has always been wise and wise, is opposed to the aviation industry. Only Freya and Prince Raymond have guessed some clues.
When Xu Yi returned to various parts of the Sainz continent to promote the space program, he visited many countries, but he missed the Kingdom of Lampali.
Even though he stayed in Bangta City for five days, he did not meet Sevigny.
Therefore, Freya and Raymond guessed that Queen Sevigny was a little angry and unwilling to develop the aviation industry because of this.
Prince Raymond didn't want to admit this speculation, because in his mind, his mother had always been a good queen who had done her best for the Kingdom of Lampali and almost never acted for personal gain. How could she now do something like a little girl? What about delaying the national policy of the Lampali Kingdom out of anger
But there is no other explanation for this situation...
However, what really troubled Prince Raymond was that even if his mother really chose not to develop the aviation industry for this reason, he could not think of a way to solve it.
He couldn't just go and tie Xu Yi in front of his mother and make him admit his mistake, right
Immediately something moved in his heart, and he raised his head and looked at Freya opposite.
Freya took the initiative to find her today to raise this issue. Does she have a solution? (~^~)
