Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 14: Over my eyes and clouds

"Your Majesty's warrant has been officially issued."

Gilbert, who was sitting across from him, was smiling, raising his teacup and taking a sip:

"Now, the news that you have returned and the title has been spread throughout Yongxing City, a few days later, the entire central government and the whole country will know."

In the living room, Thales-as the host and not the guest-smiled helplessly.

With the laziness of getting up in the morning, the teenager stood up and paced slowly to the window.

The morning light shines through the window screens, illuminating the low-key but neatly decorated living room.

Tyles opened the window, and fresh air came over his face.

And a sudden and harsh noise.

"Yes," the newly promoted Duke of Xinghu leaned against the window and yawned, pressing his waist:

"I can feel it from here."

The Mindis Hall under the window is not peaceful.

The road outside the garden and the iron gate has long been parked by various horse-drawn carriages. This is not counted as many visitors on foot or on horseback. Quite a few of them are luxuriously dressed and have obvious badges.

Outside the iron gate, the royal guards and the Canstar private soldiers are going all out, and they are very busy: explaining and discouraging them.

Tyles leaned close to the window, and the crimes of the prison river rushed to his ears, presumably capturing some scattered words.

"Sorry, Lord, Mindith Hall will not welcome guests this month," Pioneer Officer Glover's stiff and solemn voice came from the front of the iron gate:

"Only your majesty's authorized warrant can pass..."

Immediately, another slightly excited voice overwhelmed Glover.

"No, no, no, Luke, I have been with your classmates for four years but have never been acquainted with each other, so no matter what, you just come to see the scenery? You have enough! Wow! See the scenery for two consecutive days , It’s eight hours at a glance, do you think I’m an idiot?"

It's Doyle.

At this moment, he is standing in front of an innocent-looking nobleman, waving angrily to the Mindis Hall behind him:

"Every day is so noisy, every day is so noisy, I don't need... Prince doesn't need to rest?"

Thyls raised his eyebrows.

Another decent and gentle voice broke into his ears:

"...Then the Honorary Viscount Kaimar," this is Mallos who smiles lightly on his face, but actually refuses others. He is facing another nobleman who is not very good at dealing with:

"Why don't you go to the heir of the Karabyan family in your mouth and ask him, what is the secret to seeing the Duke by exception?"

"Oh, it turns out that your family is a royal merchant, and there are three beautiful daughters ranging from nine to nineteen years old, who are likely to become princes and concubines! Disrespect and disrespect, then you may be the future prince , I will definitely get your majesty’s order? I will visit again then, I will definitely line up to welcome."

"Well, the Mallorse family is very grateful for your care. It's really sad to not be able to buy your goods..."

"Thank you for greeting my parents and family, although they are no longer alive..."

"Well, then I will represent all my living female relatives, thank you for the greetings from you and the organ below you..."

"Okay, Your Excellency, I will definitely take the words to my family's ancestral cemetery so that my ancestors will know..."

"But before that, for the safety of Duke Xinghu, I will temporarily detain you to the Security Department..."

"Why? Because I suspect that you have hidden weapons in order to behave against the Duke...Where are the weapons? Look, the gems on your ring are too bright, which is harmful to the eyes of the Duke..."

"Then I suggest you directly complain to your majesty or Lord Adrian about my service attitude..."

"How long is it off? Don't worry, there are only two and a half months left before the Duke's welcome banquet. After that, your plan will be invalidated, and then the Royal Guard will formally file a lawsuit against you for the assassination of the royal family... "

Hearing this, Thales sighed, pulled down the window, and stopped listening to the potbellied Viscount Kaima’s panic defense of "I’m not I’m not talking nonsense with you," and no longer cared about him. How did he escape back to his carriage with a look of horror.

This is the third day since he returned to the capital and entered the Mindis Hall.

Starting from the second day, the Mindisi Hall is very close to the city, and there is an endless stream of visitors.

The noise made the Star Lake Guards uneasy.

"A few days ago, you shouldn't have met the Karabyyan heir, even if it was your old friend," Gilbert put down his teacup and sighed:

"Now, many nobles, officials, and people in the royal capital are all learning the same and want to come in because of relationships."

"Yeah, yeah, I see," Thales sat back in his seat and said in a daze:

"This is the price."

He underestimated the influence and shock of his return home.

The prince attracts more than just visitors.

Obviously, the Duke of Xinghu's stay not only awakened the always clean Mindis Hall, but in three days, the upgrade of this mansion's specifications also affected the entire Everstar City:

The city hall issued six urgent orders to rebuild the green plants and change the lights to clean up all the road junctions (that the prince may see) in the evening star area, and the decorations are magnificent. No refugee is allowed to enter , Even a beggar can’t be seen, the city’s appearance has improved greatly, to some extent it is better than Dongcheng District where the great aristocrats gather.

The Security Department re-set the patrol schedule and manpower arrangement. The Dusk Star District and the three security departments in the two adjacent areas (originally arguing with each other) united and cooperated with each other. Numerous security officers scrambled and worked conscientiously and in batches. The public security team rushed to and fro, patrolled day and night, turning this awkwardly forgotten location into a heaven on earth with no roads and nights.

The Chief Defense Officer of the Everstar City has hurriedly increased the city defense team on the side of the city wall of the Twilight Star District (although the Twilight Star District is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the city wall), to ensure that "no Xiaoxiao can pass us and threaten the prince", He also specifically sought a warrant to transfer the standing army from outside the city and set up a special route to clear the way for the supply and logistics of the Mindis Hall. According to a certain soldier, "Even the prince who transported the poo should not be defiled! "

Thyls pressed his forehead listlessly.

Gilbert smiled helplessly:

"I can already imagine the time to go home... I have probably never been so popular in my life."

"As the most trusted minister of your majesty, you are already very popular," Thales let out a sigh:

"And believe me, the Exeters will welcome you more than the Stars."

Gilbert nodded suddenly.

In the past few days, if you don't look at the large number of speculators outside the wall who stretched their necks and waited, eager to try their luck to see the prince, the days in Mindith Hall have been quite peaceful.

From sleep to wake, breakfast, free activities, lunch, sleep to wake, free activities, dinner, free activities, sleep to wake up.

Oh, by the way, free activities are basically not allowed outside, because you have to hide from the paparazzi-ahem, he means, avoid the fanatical speculators who can't see the prince.

Although the pace of life is similar to that in Longxiao City, but...

There is no intrigue and intrigue, no anxiety of the enemy, no constant high pressure on the string, no excitement of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, no crazy journey of fleeing thousands of miles.

No one disturbs, no one interferes, no one intervenes.

He really has some...

Not used to it.

Tyles raised his teacup and moistened his throat with satisfaction.

Compared with Gilbert who lived here six years ago and everything goes through Gilbert, it is still better for him to become the owner of this place six years later.

At least he can directly give orders to people around him (such as "change me a harder mattress"), and what he says will be followed-at least on the surface.

It's a good day, indeed...

Thyls slowly leaned back, and sincerely issued a sorrow (praise) (sigh) that belongs to rice bugs:

It's decadent.

So much so that he almost forgot about the palace...

That person.

"So, Gilbert, what are our arrangements today?"

Thyls pointed to the desktop dullly:

"Why did you bring a lot of...paper?"

Gilbert, who looked at the Duke lovingly, turned around as if suddenly remembering, moved a stack of papers on the table to his lap, and at the same time pulled out a pair of glasses.

"Please forgive me, I am getting older, my eyes are a little bad..."

Middle-aged foreign ministers are embarrassed and authentic.

His glasses are very special. They are a pair of hand-held folding mirrors. There is no frame, but a special handle is made on the right side of the frame.

"By the way, the gift you requested for the granddaughter was ordered at the same handmade mirror shop..."

Gilbert said as he raised his spectacle cover in front of his eyes, and began to flip through the paper on his knees.

"I don’t know what you think, but after all, they specialize in custom-made glasses for scholars and old men like me. The color design is neither fancy nor trendy. It is estimated that it will not please young girls, you At the beginning, I didn't think about sending anything else..." There was something in the Foreign Secretary's words, but Thales, who had already fought for a long time, looked as usual and never heard of it.

"Then, first..."

I don’t know if seeing the prince have no reaction, or finally found the target on the paper, Gilbert still sighed slightly and said:

"Your welcome banquet is initially scheduled for more than two months."

"The newly promoted Duke of Xinghu will be officially introduced to the entire kingdom-at least the entire Yongxing City."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs still hung his head, but his gaze glimpsed from the top of his glasses, looking at Thales.

Introduce... the whole kingdom.

Thyls was in awe.

He took a deep breath and sat up straight from the chair.

The laziness and comfort in the past few days have been wiped out.

It's time too.

He sighed and told himself.

Wake up, Thales.

Except for the noble master of **** shovelers...

Where is the happy rice bug in the world?

Thyls cheer up:

"And these two months?"

Gilbert lifted his eyes from the paper:

"It's your time to rest, adapt and adjust."

"So long?"

Gilbert shook his head and denied:

"No, not too long at all, in fact, it is a little too short."

"After all, you have been in the Northland for six years." The foreign secretary looked at Thales, looking at the habitual, seemingly sloppy, but elbow sitting position that he could roll to the ground at any time, and Without evasive, sharp and direct eyes, including the body's action-friendly but not solemn regular clothes, frowned invisibly:

"From talking, manners, habits to etiquette, knowledge, we have too many things to correct..."

This time it's Thales' turn to frown:

"Calibration?"

"Talking, manners, habits?"

Gilbert sensed his failure.

"Sorry, no disrespect, but I mean, we have too much to prepare..."

The foreign secretary glanced at Thales, his tone polite:

"With all due respect, although there was a stunning appearance at the National Conference, it was six years ago after all."

"In six years, no one knew about you except for sporadic news."

"Now, they only know that Prince Thales has just returned from the rude and savage, dangerous and bitter Northland, and grew up under the influence and education of the people of Exter, among those unreasonable northerners."

Gilbert performed a standard etiquette, sincere and authentic:

"And what we need to show them..."

Tyles leaned back in his chair and pressed his head helplessly.

"I understand."

"You can tell me directly," the young Duke of Xinghu sighed deeply:

"Everyone in the kingdom from top to bottom is wondering whether the second prince might be distorted by the barbaric and perverted Yankees, his personality was distorted, his personality was stunned, his mind was beaten, his sexuality was reversed..."

"After all, in their eyes, Exeters are all illiterate, so they might even wonder if the heir to the return of the kingdom only looks like a prince of stars, but in the core is a rude illiterate from the north? "

After speaking in one breath, Thales exhaled angrily.

I was sleepy for six years, six years.

Are you satisfied?

Okay, Charman.

You barely counted as winning.

Tyl thought boredly.

"I didn't say that," Gilbert smiled happily, but then his face was grave:

"But sexuality...you are kidding, right?"

Thyls didn't bother to finish this little ridicule, and he was honest:

"And what you have to do is to make me more local, more respectable, more acceptable, and more..."stars" before my appearance?"

"Not all, Your Highness."

Gilbert let go of the less reassuring "joke" on the surface, and smiled again:

"In fact, the trip to the North is one of your brightest resumes, like the legendary journey of a mercenary: strange and mysterious, attracting the awe and wonder of the unsuspecting people."

People who don’t know...

Thyls laughed at himself in his heart.

But when the other party mentioned the mercenary, he suddenly thought of the fast rope and then the mysterious and terrifying Ricky.

"So we might as well keep some of the marks left by Longxiao City for you..."

Thyls recovered:

"Branding?"

Gilbert smiled and nodded:

"Let others know that the Duke of Thales has the advantages of both sides of the border at the same time: you are the only one in this era. You are both inherited by the empire and stars, and tempered by the north wind and the dragon. The Fuxing Palace fiercely argues with the ministers, and can also survive in the desperate situation in the Palace of Heroes..."

"The Proud Son of Heaven."

The air was quiet for a second.

In front of the foreign minister with scorching eyes, Thales lowered his head and rubbed his face subconsciously.

Damn it.

It's worthy of being diplomatic.

Compared with "packing the stuffed buns Thales", this is quite a bit...

Pretty?

The power of the star cunning fox has not diminished-Thales exclaimed.

A few decent and innocuous soft words dispelled his inner unhappiness.

At this point, there is a real difference between him and Putila's spooky little old man.

Perhaps this is why, one of the two people who worked with the Department of Foreign Affairs can soar up and become the king's cronies and become famous in Xilu.

The other person is on the go, working hard all day long, no one knows how much he has done.

Thyls thought silently.

"Well, if I am really illiterate, Gilbert..."

A few seconds later, Thales adjusted his mood and replied with a smile:

"Then you only started literacy at the age of fourteen, is it a bit late?"

"Others may not understand, Your Highness, but I am your full-time teacher," Gilbert sighed when he talked about the past:

"It's just a six-year break."

He winked at Thales:

"So, do you remember how the sonnet was made?"

Tyles and Gilbert chuckled at the same time.

Unexpectedly, with a smile, Gilbert suddenly spoke up~IndoMTL.com~ So, it was just a six-year break. "

His voice lowered:

"Your Highness."

"Six years."

Thyls put a smile away and looked at the foreign secretary strangely.

"Don't be discouraged, boy," Gilbert didn't look at him, but said slowly:

"Know."

"Sometimes, my father also makes mistakes."

Thyls was stunned.

"Give him time, my lord," Gilbert said quietly:

"Give him time."

He choked slightly.

The temperature and light in the hospitality room seemed to sink at that moment.

Thyls was silent, thinking deeply.

Gilbert did not speak either.

The two sat facing each other silently.

It's been a long while.

Finally, Thales took a deep breath and smiled.

"Gilbert," the prince looked at the middle-aged man who had taught him how to read, and was strong, but now gray-haired and exhausted, and said seriously:

"Thank you."

Gilbert grinned reluctantly, curbing his emotions.

"For what?"

Thyls lowered his head and curled up the corners of his mouth after a while:

"For... everything."

Silence.

For a while, there was only a vague noise outside the window.

"No, Your Highness."

"Everything..."

Gilbert sighed:

"All for you."

Thyls didn't speak.

"His Royal Highness," Gilbert scanned the familiar Mindith Hall before his eyes, finally showing a haggard but relaxed smile:

"Welcome home."

At that moment, there was a warm current in the prince's heart that originated six years ago.

Sweep away the haze of the past.

It's like the barrier when I first return to the stars...

Just a passing glance.

Not worth mentioning.
