Ride and Cut

The day before the Spring Festival, the entire diplomatic mission was personally received by His Majesty Sargerei.

In the resplendent and resplendent palace, a grand banquet was held, the dishes were rich enough to dazzle the eye, and there were nearly a hundred servants serving them. In addition to more than a dozen envoys, there were also many nobles from Fulis City, which was a rare social event in recent years.

It's a pity that even though it was so grand, what they said were all nonsense routines, coupled with frequent toasts for various boring reasons, it made Li Cha almost drowsy.

Since it has been recognized for a long time that these so-called aristocrats are full of thieves and prostitutes under their pious appearance, the lord is too lazy to pay attention to them. During the period, some people also tried to have a few words with this dazzling new star in the Northeast Province, but he dealt with it with a few words of haha.

The only thing that made him feel a little bit interesting was that Bedric was wearing a dress that he would never touch normally.

The tailors used by the royal family are really skilled and willing to spend money - crisp black fabrics, huge pure gold buttons, and delicate golden tassels are combined into a unique black dress in Pompeii. It can completely set off a fat man with a big belly to look heroic.

But to be fair, Bedric not only doesn't look as handsome as the lord, but looks very much like an orangutan with his hands and feet bound, which is uncoordinated no matter how you look at it.

And while pushing glasses and changing glasses frequently, Richard noticed that after several hours of the whole banquet, Bedric never once looked up at the person sitting in the main seat—that is, his biological father, His Majesty Sargerei.

Even if the two eyes met occasionally, Bedric would immediately turn his head to avoid it. It was obvious that the relationship was not very harmonious. And the others looked familiar with the awkwardness between the crown prince and the king.

After the banquet, after a short break, His Majesty Sargerei began to summon each of the envoys in turn in the study, obviously this is where the real drama lies.

Li Cha's ranking is not very high, but many of the people in front of him just went through the motions, and came out quickly after entering. So it didn't take long before it was his turn.

"Li Cha, have you planned to get married?"

Following the guidance of the attendant, the lord walked through the long and quiet corridor into the study. I saw His Majesty Sargerei holding scissors and personally trimming the fiery red roses in the vase on the bookcase.

You must know that it is the season of early spring, and being able to decorate with delicate out-of-season roses is definitely a privilege only for a few great nobles.

"You are at the right age to get married now. How about the daughter of Count Pierre's family? She is a famous beauty in Frisce."

"Sorry Your Majesty, I'm not interested." Li Cha never expected that the first marriage urge in the New Year would come from King Pompeii.

Count Pierre was sitting across from him during the meal just now, and he was so enthusiastic that he couldn't understand it. Therefore, it seemed that he had already fallen in love with this hairy son-in-law. But to be honest, since the Earl himself looks infinitely close to a troll, it's hard to believe how optimistic his daughter can be.

"Okay." Sargerei just mentioned it casually, not necessarily seriously, "What do you think of this mediation meeting?"

"The rank will definitely be exhausted..." Li Cha began to recite the formulas, all of which were prepared by Buckland for him before he left, and he was quite familiar with them after reading all night last night.

"Stop." His Majesty Sargerei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Let me ask another question. Who do you think is most likely to pose a threat to us?"

"San Jose, Stuart, and even the Ice and Snow Goddess Church are all possible, we have to talk to find out." The lord thought that I would know where to go.

"You have to talk about it, that's right." Sargerei said while trimming the excess branches and leaves, "But as a rookie in Vanity Fair, I have to remind you that since His Majesty Belluni of Stuart is here, he must be a worthy opponent."

"But the folks call him the mad king, the mad king." The lord shrugged.

"I know you and Baker have a good relationship. The friendship when you were young is always touching~" Sargerei put down the scissors, admiring his gardening works, very satisfied, "Did you know that His Majesty Beruin of Stuart was also my friend once."

"Oh?" Li Cha wondered if he was typing to show friendship.

"When we were young, Pompey and Stuart signed a peace agreement, and each sent a prince to the other country as a hostage. Beruin is that unlucky guy." Sargerei frowned slightly, as if he had fallen into memory, "Although the agreement lasted only for more than four years, four years in Beruin was enough time for us to form a personal friendship."

"At that time, we were all dismissive of secular power, and desperately wanted to become the sword master representing the highest glory of the swordsman. For the common goal, we encouraged, learned, and discussed with each other. It was really a memorable time just thinking about it." The corners of Sargerei's lips curled up slightly.

"It's fair to say that Beruni is a guy who is passionate, smart, open-minded, curious and energetic, the kind of guy who will achieve something in whatever he does."

"Oh." The lord was slightly surprised.

He could sense that the elemental fluctuations on Sargerei's body were not weak. Although it is definitely not comparable to Master Du Pont, to be honest, this His Majesty's combat qi attainments are stronger than most of the guards who protect him, and not even a little bit stronger.

There are not many shortcuts to dou qi cultivation, which only shows that he has put a lot of energy into this aspect. Not often for a king.

"Li Cha, do you know, I can always see the shadow of Belluni in you." Sargerei looked at the lord of Alpine Castle and said seriously.

"I don't want to become a lunatic." Li Cha waved his hands again and again.

"Beruni is not a lunatic, at least he wasn't in the past." His Majesty Sargerei smiled. "Think about it, returning to Stuart as an abandoned prince, but in the end he was able to defeat many brothers and become king. The political skills hidden in this are not ordinary."

"Then how did he become like this?" The lord frowned and asked, "I heard that he has made commoner women queens many times, and then brutally killed them one by one. The control over the country in recent decades is almost completely absurd."

"Beruni was also a very diligent king, and the Queen Mary who accompanied him was also the love of his life, and accompanied him from his infancy to the throne." Sagre shook his head, feeling a little sad.

"However, things are funny. Twenty years ago, Queen Mary fell off her horse and died during a hunt. Belluni's inner world probably collapsed at this point. Since then, she has become a little abnormal."

"So it's still a seed of infatuation." The lord was taken aback for a moment, then sneered.
