The night was dark, and the hunting festival banquet finally came to an end, and the guests bid farewell and left one after another.
Lord Feiyin also bid farewell to Queen Aisha, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by an attendant:
"Master Viscount, His Royal Highness Prince Harrison invites you to the tea party later."
Lord Feiyin turned his head in surprise, and saw Prince Harrison not far away looking at him. He nodded quickly, and then said to his attendants, "Okay, this is my honor."
Afterwards, Lord Fei Yin was led by his attendants to a living room.
The interior of the hall is furnished luxuriously and gorgeously, with a distinctive style.
There are three crystal candlestick chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The candlelight becomes dazzling through the refraction of pure crystals, filling every corner of the living room.
Before Prince Harrison came, Lord Feiyin walked casually in the hall, admiring with great interest the beast head specimens and uniquely shaped decorative weapons hanging on the wall.
This brave and extravagant style is obviously not in line with the temperament of half-elf nobles, it seems that it should be specially modified for Prince Harrison.
Reminiscent of the imperial prince who just personally hunted a brown bear at the hunting meeting, it shows that although this young prince looks quiet, he has a martial heart.
While thinking about it, Lord Feiyin heard footsteps approaching, he turned his head quickly, and saw Prince Harrison walking in.
"His Royal Highness... Earl Angelet?"
Lord Feiyin thought that Prince Harrison would invite him alone, but he didn't expect that Colin Angelet would also be there.
However, he was not too surprised.
After all, Colin is Prince Harrison's teacher. It is estimated that the private meeting this time is not that Prince Harrison wants to meet him, but Colin!
Several thoughts flashed through Fei Yinjue's mind, but on the surface he saluted the two people who came in gracefully and indifferently.
Prince Harrison sat down on the main seat, and then the half-elven maids walked in quickly, offering scented tea and honey to the three of them.
Jue Fei Yin tasted the scented tea in his hand, and from time to time peeked at Ke Lin opposite him from the corner of his eye, trying to see some clues from his face.
Unfortunately nothing.
Prince Harrison put down his teacup, cleared his throat, and said in a slightly immature voice:
"Count Angelet, Count Feiyin, I invite you two this time to tell you some sad news."
Lord Feiyin's heart moved, and he quickly looked at Colin on the opposite side. Seeing that he was also puzzled, he continued to listen to Prince Harrison:
"I just received a letter from Yulongcheng. The expeditionary force sent by the western region to the west of the Tianduan Mountains had an accident. The Glorious Empire is very likely to face the threat of orcs again..."
"What?!" Jue Fei Yin was obviously frightened by the news, and couldn't help but scream.
At this time, he didn't even worry about the conflict with the northern border anymore, and immediately asked: "Your Highness, is the orc empire unified again?"
Colin also had a shocked expression at this time, and asked in a deep voice: "How about the casualties of the Western Expeditionary Army? And Duke St. Grian? How is she doing now?"
Prince Harrison's eyes flickered slightly, he coughed lightly, and said, "You two, I don't know the specific situation now, but my father has asked me to return to Yulong City immediately.
But before I leave, I hope that the eastern border and the northern border can resolve some misunderstandings and conflicts. After all, the threat of orcs is too great. It requires the unity and sincere cooperation of the major lords of the Glorious Empire to survive this catastrophe together. "
Jue Feiyin gradually calmed down from the shock. His first thought was, could this be a conspiracy by the northern border
After all, Colin Angelet is Prince Harrison's teacher. Will he deliberately instruct Prince Harrison to deceive the East Territory with false news
But soon, Lord Fei Yin denied this guess.
First of all, fake news is too easy to be exposed, and the San Pros family is not stupid, so they will definitely verify it themselves.
Secondly, according to Earl Evan's previous inference, Colin Angelet's strategy at this time should be to delay the time, wait for the support of the northern army to arrive in Silvermoon City, and then have a showdown with the eastern border and announce the death of Marquis Vincent .
In this way, even if the Eastern Realm wanted revenge, they would not dare to cross the Nushui River easily and face a decisive battle with the northern army in the Half-Elf Kingdom.
The San Pros family had no choice but to accept this humiliating result.
Therefore, this time, Lord Feiyin had a tough attitude from the very beginning of his mission, and deliberately made trouble at the hunting meeting, that is to say, he knew that Colin Angelet at this time was actually just bluffing. Don't dare to turn against Dongjing.
Thinking about it this way, there was no need for Colin Angelet to make up such a lie that could be debunked to forcibly prevent the East Territory's revenge.
However, if the orcs were really about to invade, it would really be doing the North a big favor.
A trace of worry arose in Lord Feiyin's heart. He looked up at Colin Angelet who was opposite him, but saw that the other party also had a dignified expression. It seemed that the news of the orc caught him by surprise.
Therefore, Lord Fei Yin tentatively said: "Your Highness, as I have been repeating before, the Eastern Realm has no intention of being an enemy of the Northern Realm or the Half-Elf Kingdom, let alone the current enemy. Of course, we are willing to eliminate the conflict between the two sides." Misunderstanding, efforts to reach a settlement.
Therefore, as long as Earl Angelet agrees to release Marquis Vincent, then we will never take the initiative to provoke and cause more troubles in the east. "
Prince Harrison nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to his teacher.
With a gloomy face, Colin said in a cold voice: "What the Marquis Vincent did in Silvermoon City has caused great harm to the northern border and the half-elves. If you don't have enough sincerity in the eastern border, I won't let you go easily. !"
Lord Feiyin immediately said: "My lord, the Duke of St. Pros has already explained that he is willing to exchange three heavy warships, fifty sailing warships, and one hundred logistics transport ships for Marquis Vincent."
"Not enough!" Colin said decisively.
Lord Feiyin sneered in his heart, feeling that at this time, the Earl of the Northern Territory was still holding on, so he said with a look of embarrassment:
"Lord Earl, this is the greatest sincerity we can offer in the East."
"Add three more heavy warships and twenty transport ships!"
"This..." Count Feiyin pondered for a moment, and then seemed to have made up his mind, "Okay, my lord, I will go back and report to the Duke of St. Pros, and hope he can agree."
Prince Harrison hurriedly said: "Please hurry up, after all, the situation in the western border is critical, we must solve this problem as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness!" Lord Fei Yin bowed to Prince Harrison, then turned and left immediately without further delay.
After Lord Feiyin's back disappeared outside the hall, Prince Harrison stood up and approached Colin, asking, "Teacher, how am I doing?"
"Not bad." Colin smiled and patted Prince Harrison on the shoulder.
Prince Harrison immediately beamed with joy, and after a while, he asked again: "Teacher, why did you ask me to tell the people in the East?"
Ke Lin smiled faintly and said, "Because the same news will have completely different effects for different people."
Prince Harrison frowned, as if he didn't fully understand the teacher's intentions, he hesitated for a while and was about to ask again, but he heard Colin say:
"Look more, think more, ask less. Because the answer you get is likely to be a lie, but a person's actions cannot be fake."
"Okay, teacher." Prince Harrison nodded thoughtfully.
