Fatty Shi left. Since Lorist decided to carry out the agreement he had reached, he was going to make preparations, so he rejected Lorist's request to keep him for dinner, and left in a hurry. As the chief executive of the Norton family, he has many things to do, unlike Lorist, who can be a hands-off shopkeeper just by making a decision.
But what Lorist didn't expect was that Fatty Shi came back just after leaving Princess Sylvia, looking very angry. Lorist was very surprised. He thought that Princess Sylvia would come back very late. After all, she should have dinner with her godmother, Great Swordsman Sandy, and what happened to her so annoyed look? thing
At this moment, Princess Sylvia shrank herself into Lorist's arms and hugged Lorist silently, crying and aggrieved like a lost child, which made Lorist feel very distressed. Princess Livia was psychologically traumatized and fragile, and what Lorist feared most was that she would suffer from some kind of psychological disease.
After coaxing and comforting for a long time, Lorist learned the truth from Princess Sylvia. It turned out that after the meeting between the great swordsman Sandy and Princess Sylvia, she told Princess Sylvia that she accepted His Royal Highness as an apprentice in the imperial capital and guided him to be successfully promoted to a first-class great swordsman in order to find Princess Sylvia. He is a good husband, Great Swordsman Sandi thinks His Highness is a very good match, he has a noble status, a prominent reputation, a famous family background, and a high level of self-cultivation. More importantly, he is the king of the Kingdom of Antinac, Feisab The Lun family can not only wash away the rebellious status of the empire, but also become the top family of the kingdom, and even break the predicament they are facing.
It's just that the great sword master Sandy didn't expect that at the most critical moment when the Second Highness was promoted to the great sword master, the news that Lorist was about to marry Princess Sylvia came. This surprised Great Swordsman Sandy. The news I got the previous year was that a war broke out between the four northern alliances and the Fesabrun family, and the Kingdom of Iberia perished. Great Swordsman Sandy was still very happy, now that his precious adopted daughter, Princess Sylvia, should finally give up. But now Princess Sylvia is going to marry Lorist? This is not a joke, invitations have been sent to the palace.
The great swordsman Sandy was puzzled, and in the end he could only blame it on the Norton family's strong oppression of the Feisabrun family to marry Princess Sylvia to Lorist. It's just that she didn't have time to clone at that moment, otherwise she would have to go to the north to rescue her poor baby from Lorist's clutches. So now that Great Swordsman Sandy met Princess Sylvia, he regretted that she had lost the chance to become the Queen of Antinak, and was annoyed why the Feisabrun family could not persist for another year...
It's just that Princess Sylvia looks happy now, she doesn't care about the queen's throne, and she is already satisfied with being with Lorist. After seeing her godmother whom she had been attached to since she was a child, of course she told everything out of nowhere, including all the cold reception and bullying she had suffered in the family, as well as the time when she was given to Lorist by the Grand Duke Fessabrun. A feeling of being abandoned by the family, and how Lorist treated her so well that she recovered her health and married her, etc...
The Great Swordsman Xiandi became angrier the more he heard it. He dared to believe that all this was done by that old man, so he grabbed Princess Sylvia and went to Grand Duke Feisabrun to settle the score. Princess Sylvia didn't want to see the Grand Duke Fessabrun, but she was dragged there, and then the two old men and women quarreled.
Princess Sylvia withdrew and stood at the entrance of the palace. She felt uncomfortable listening to the noise inside, so she deliberately stayed away. In the end, at this time, she ran into her cousin, Queen Sissi, who was taking people to visit the Rose Palace. She was ridiculed in front of many people, and forced Silivie by virtue of her status as the Queen of Antinak. Princess Ya greeted her with a big gift. How could Princess Sylvia bear this anger, she slapped her on the spot and ran back. On the way back, the more I thought about it, the more I felt wronged, so I came to Lorist to act like a baby.
After listening to Princess Sylvia's narration, Lorist laughed loudly: "Baby, it's fine if you don't lose money. After all, you've already slapped that queen..."
"But, but that cousin of mine is now the queen..." Princess Sylvia was afraid.
"What about the queen, if you fight, you will fight." Lorist didn't take it to heart at all. The Second Highness now needs the support of the four northern alliances to attack the four principalities in the middle, so as not to offend Luo at this time. Rist, with his iron-blooded and ruthless character, would not take that Queen Sissy in his heart. The thing of drawing a sword in anger for a beauty would never happen to him, a king, and he is a small first-grade man. Sword master, are you qualified to draw your sword in front of yourself
"Your Highness, the King is here." Genorio reported at the door.
Genorio said that the Second Highness looked very angry, but he only brought two guards over. Well, thinking about it, my wife was slapped and humiliated in public. As her husband, no matter how bad the relationship with this wife is, he still has to stand up for it. It was inconvenient to find Princess Sylvia, so I had to come to Lorist to settle the score.
Lorist nodded and said yes. Then he patted Sylvia's little butt and said: "You avoid it first, I will help you solve this matter, you have to persist a little longer at night and reward me well..."
Princess Sylvia blushed and turned Lorist and left the study. After a while, I heard a burst of "thumping" footsteps, and the Second Highness strode in.
Lorist didn't really stand up to greet him, and was still sitting on the recliner, but he just stretched out a palm to strike first: "Fifty catapults, this matter is over, what do you think?"
"Uh..." Second Highness immediately understood Lorist's meaning: "One hundred cars, I'll just pretend that this never happened."
"Hehe." Lorist smiled and shook his head: "Only fifty cars, your queen is not worth the price of a hundred cars."
"No, no matter what, she is also the queen of the kingdom, my wife, wouldn't I be too shameless if I don't have a hundred catapults as an apology?" The Second Highness insisted.
Lorist took his hand back: "That line, there are no more than fifty cars. You can draw the road whatever you want, and I will follow. If you want to turn your face, just say it."
His Highness was stunned, and after a while he was furious: "Lock, what do you mean! Why don't you follow the routine?"
"Routine? What kind of routine?" Lorist asked curiously.
"Shouldn't we bargain for the price, and then we'll settle the deal at an intermediate number, so that everyone can get off with face. How do you say that you turn your back on it?"
Lorist laughed loudly, and said sternly, "Only fifty catapults, not one more. You should understand that these fifty are only given for your sake. Do you think I will apologize to others? "
"Okay, fifty is fifty." The Second Highness knew very well that this was Lorist's bottom line, but he was still a little unwilling: "Why don't you go over and slap her again, and give me a hundred Would a catapult work?"
Lorist laughed dumbfounded, and shook his head: "These fifty catapults and the cooperation of the White Lion Army are enough for you to capture several cities and fortresses in the four central duchies. You can't be too greedy. Besides, I don't even bother Go slap your wife. Speaking of which, you should give me a reason to break up with my cousin... "
His Highness sighed and sat down: "Give me a glass of wine."
Genorio served him a bottle of fruit wine, then exited the study and closed the door. Lorist took the wine bottle, poured himself a glass and drank it down, and then handed the rest of the wine to the Second Highness. The Second Highness received the wine without using a cup, directly raised his head to the mouth of the bottle and drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the bottle, he hiccupped and took a long breath before saying, "I'm sorry for Chrisya..."
"Of course you are sorry for her. She has been with you since she was 18 years old. She has been with you for nearly 20 years now. She has led the soldiers to fight for you and served you at night. A woman gave you the best years of youth. Even if You are afraid of our Norton family, but you should also understand how loyal she is to you. I just didn't expect you to give up as soon as you said you would give up, just let her go. I really despise you, my majesty, I It was a very wise decision to find out that I did not cooperate with you, otherwise, when our Norton family loses the qualification to be used by you, we will also be abandoned by you as rags..." Lorist sneered coldly.
"You can't blame me." The Second Highness retorted, since Lorist had already said it so bluntly, he didn't mind tearing off his mask and telling the truth: "Your Norton family has such a strong armed force, it's easy to conquer a city, but you don't Ken helped me unify the former empire. You said that as a king, how could I not be afraid of your Norton family? If you were the king, I’m afraid you would take more drastic measures. I think I have been very magnanimous and have been tolerant of you , Say it yourself, under such circumstances, can I make Chrisya queen?"
"However, Your Majesty, our Norton family has never been interested in the throne under your ass, you should be very clear about this. And the century-old motto of our Norton family shows this point, we are loyal to you because you are Krissen The only orthodox heir of the royal family, you also know that I have no ambitions, I just want to develop the family territory and live a good life, so your fear is very unfair to us..." Lorist frowned to defend himself.
"No, no..." His Royal Highness shook his head again and again: "Locke, I know you have no ambitions, but I still have to guard against it. If I marry Chrisya as queen, as the most powerful Grand Duke of the Kingdom, You will still intervene in the internal affairs of the royal family involuntarily. As a relative of Chrisia, the Norton family will become her reliance no matter what. You can guarantee your loyalty to the kingdom, but you cannot guarantee your descendants and your subordinates Loyalty to the kingdom cannot even guarantee that they will not have ambitions for the kingdom. As a king, I must look further and think more... "
"So you married a woman from the Feisabrun family as the queen, and you want to use the Feisabrun family to contain us? Would you rather give up Chrisya who has followed you for nearly 20 years?" Lorist asked quietly.
His Royal Highness smiled wryly: "I don't deny that I have this idea, but the real reason is to let the Feisabrun family return to the kingdom, with the intention of returning the two border provinces of the former empire to the kingdom, and let Feisabrun The Lun family sent troops to fight for me in the four central duchies. Locke, you know that my dream and only wish is to re-establish a powerful empire, unify the former Krissen Empire, and leave my name in history.
Marrying a woman from the Feisabrun family as queen is my promise to Great Swordsman Sandy, only in this way can she convince Grand Duke Feisabrun. The original queen candidate was Princess Sylvia, but I didn't expect you to move so fast, so I chose one at random, and didn't care who she was. This is not love, I told Chrisya, this is the price paid for the unification of the empire, if she wants, I can marry her as the princess. But she rejected me and left me.
Do you think I'm not sad, but I can't help it. You have been unwilling to help me, so I can only seek help from the Feisabrun family. With the 150,000 men and horses of the three legions in my hand, I cannot destroy the four central duchies, so I must rely on external forces. The Feisabrun family dispatched two legions this time, plus the troops dispatched by your four northern alliances, it is more than enough to destroy the four central duchies. After regaining these eleven provinces and working hard for another three years, I will be able to take back those occupied territories from the business alliance. "
"Alas..." Lorist sighed. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the Second Highness was actually a bit pitiful. He was almost bewildered in order to unify the former empire. For this reason, he did not hesitate to bear the notoriety and slaughtered those traitorous nobles. He sacrificed his love just to gain the support of the Feisabrun family. It's just that the way is different and they don't conspire with each other. If it wasn't for the alliance of the four Northern Lands, he really didn't want to send troops this time. Forget it, let's help him for the last time.
"Okay, I will help you attack the four principalities in the middle this time, and end your desire for revenge. But I ask you not to dictate the strategy of our four alliances in the north. How to attack is up to us. I can only Guarantee that we will not avoid the war and delay the war plane, and hope that you will not hold us back." Lorist said.
The Second Highness smiled, stretched out his palm and struck Lorist: "It's a deal!"
His Second Highness was very satisfied with what he had gained this time, and rejected Lorist's kind words to invite him to have dinner together, saying that he would go back to the Rose Palace to comfort Queen Sissi who had been slapped. When he was leaving, Lorist finally couldn't help asking him another question: "Do you think you can really subdue that old fox in Feisabrun?"
His Royal Highness smiled brightly: "With your Norton family here, why should I worry about this issue..."
Looking at the back of the Second Highness going away, Lorist smiled wryly and shook his head, they are not fuel-efficient lamps, they are so calculated, knowing that the one he is most vigilant about is the Grand Duke Fessabrun, so he let it go without any scruples Fessabrun family. Because he knew very well in his heart that if the Feisabrun family wanted to jump up, he would definitely slap them hard, so now the Feisabrun family can only hold his thigh firmly in order to have a little hope of resurgence . Inadvertently, I became a knife in the hands of the Second Highness, a knife specially used to threaten the Fesabrun family...
