Chapter 728 The Third Fleet (Part 2)
When the prince's fleet arrived at the Royal City Harbor, the king personally went to the port to greet him, giving Prince Xiusenya and his group a glory.
The great prince Hailan, who stood behind the king, saw it in his eyes, and the fire of jealousy was burning in his heart.
Looking back at the situation around him, he suddenly saw his confidant winking at him. He found an excuse and quit the crowd.
"How is the matter going?" Walking to the close servants, the eldest prince Hailancha asked in a low voice.
"It's done, Count Ferkam promised to tell you about your highness. Things have a great hope of success." The close servant said with a happy face.
"Okay! OK! If the matter is really done, you will make a contribution!" When he heard this, His Highness Hailancha was immediately delighted.
On that side, the king had already met Prince Xiusenya.
When father and son meet, their emotions will naturally be revealed.
"Child, thank you for your hard work." The king and Prince Xiusenya hugged. The king looked at his second son. The more he looked, the more he felt that the war really made him more and more honed: "Let's go back, let's talk about it. I have prepared a banquet for you to celebrate your victory."
"Thank you, Father."
"Isn't it just a victory?" Hailancha, the eldest prince who was watching from the side, secretly complained: "If I were given the fleet, I could do it too."
However, in front of everyone, he did not dare to embarrass his younger brother at all, so he had to follow the team back to the palace with great depression.
The banquet was very lively in the palace, and many people came to celebrate Prince Xiusenya. The eldest prince who was hiding in the corner and watching all this looked very ugly.
"Xu Senya, I have made great contributions this time, I congratulate you." Finally, Hailancha, who couldn't bear it, walked to Prince Xiu Senya with a glass of wine and said with a smile.
The other people who were surrounding Prince Xiusenya chose to leave silently and mix into the palace internal strife. It was not a good thing, so they would not be so stupid.
Seeing that there was no outsider beside him, Prince Xiusenya smiled gracefully, and while gently shaking the red liquid in the cup in his hand, he said to the eldest prince Hailancha: "Brother, thank you."
"No need to thank you." The eldest prince Hailancha approached Prince Xiusenya and almost pressed his ears on his face: "This is just a trivial matter. It's not necessarily true that whoever wins and loses. Don't be too proud."
"Brother, since that's the case, let's go and see." Prince Xiusenya said with a faint expression: "The father has come here, let's have a drink with us brothers."
Prince Xiusenya raised his glass and said with a faint smile.
The eldest prince followed his gaze and saw the figure of his father, so a smile appeared on his face and gently touched the cup in his hand.
The two brothers each drank the wine in their hands and looked at each other with a smile.
Those who don’t know the inside story will definitely think that the brothers are very friendly when they see that they are very friendly.
When the king in the distance saw it, he gradually thought about it in his heart, but his face did not show up, and he greeted everyone with a kingly demeanor.
Because this banquet was held for the second prince Xiu Senya and his group, the protagonist of the banquet was naturally Prince Xiu Senya and his group.
At the banquet, the king announced many rewards to the group led by Prince Shusenya and praised them greatly.
Seeing that the king looked more respectful to Prince Xiusenya, the nobles who were close to Xiusenya all smiled, while the nobles who had some connection with the eldest prince all had their faces black.
Only the king's first confidant Earl Fekham stood beside the king with a calm expression, and seemed to have no concern about it.
After the banquet, a group of people walked out, and only Earl Fekham walked at the end. While everyone was not paying attention, he quietly slipped to a remote place.
After a while, another person came over, with a medium figure and a public face. Seeing that there was no one around, this person walked carefully to Earl Ferkam and lowered his voice and said, "Sir, my highness said, you have done a good job and he will accept your affection."
"Even if I don't help you, he will come up with other ways, even if I don't help you." Earl Ferkam said with a smile: "You tell the Second Highness and say that when I am Earl Ferkam, I will definitely not retreat."
"Yes, Count, the youngest will definitely bring you words." The man said happily. Earl Ferkam said so, which was equivalent to announcing his side of His Highness.
The two of them whispered for a while and left each other.
When the man who had joined Earl Ferkam returned to the palace of the Second Highness, Prince Xiusenya, who returned from the banquet, had already changed into home clothes and was distributing gifts.
"You, send this to Earl Kashut. You give this to Mrs. Ai Ruya's house..." When she turned around, she happened to see this person coming back and asked the others to go out first. Prince Xiusunya asked lightly: "Have you seen someone?"
"Your Highness, I've seen it." The man hurriedly said Earl Ferkam's words. Prince Xiusenya nodded after hearing this.
“You did a great job.”
Walking back and forth in the room, Prince Xiusenya had a faint sarcasm on his face. "Don't my brother really think that it was the jewelry he sent to touch the heart of Earl Ferkam? He doesn't pay attention to maintaining his connections, and when he uses it, what's the use of sending money? But this is good, let him get what he wants and let him relax..."
Thinking of this, he turned around and said to the confidant: "You go down and receive the reward. I did a good job this time, and I will remember you a merit."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" When the man went out, Prince Xiusenya continued to call people in and assigned the task of delivering gifts.
After almost everything was handled, Prince Xiusenya received the king's order and asked him to go to the main hall as soon as possible.
Prince Xiusenya did not dare to hesitate, put down other things in his hands for a while, and soon rushed to the main hall.
When passing by the gate of the hall, many guards were carrying large boxes and walking towards the inner trunk.
Prince Xiusenya knew that this was a gift he gave to his father and was transported into the palace. Obviously, the father might have summoned him to come because of this.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked into the hall, he saw his father talking to Earl Ferkam with a smile on his face.
Prince Xiusenya just collided with Earl Ferkam and then moved away as if nothing had happened.
"Father." Prince Xiusenya saluted upwards.
"Get up, get up, let your father have a good look." The king said happily: "Sure enough, I have grown up, and everyone knows to give me a gift."
When it comes to this gift, the king is very interested.
"I said Xiu Senya, your gift this time is really a big deal. I have handed over all 100,000 gold coins to me, so you won't leave any of them yourself?" the king asked.
Prince Xiusenya replied very simply: "Father, I am your son, the fleet I commanded and your army. This time I can win the battle, all I can rely on is the prestige of the Kingdom of Esk and the blessing of the ancestor god. Therefore, the gold coins seized should be handed over. If I lack money, I will ask my father for it."
"Haha, it's well said, it's well said!" The king said with a laugh. Obviously, Prince Xiusenya's behavior really made the king happy.
Earl Fekham, who was beside him, looked at it and nodded.
On the other side, the father and son had already started chatting. Seeing this, Earl Ferkam, who had always been smart and wise, said goodbye on the pretext of leaving.
When only Prince Xiusenya and the King were left in the hall, Prince Xiusenya suddenly mentioned the matter of Romon.
"Father, Baron Rocas' territory has now been merged into the Viscount Tetasha. Judging from the size of the territory, it is enough to be a count. Viscount Tetasha's Viscount Romain inherited the Baron Rocas' title. You see, did you enthrone him as Earl?"
The king was surprised at first, then looked at the second son meaningfully, shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer, the position of the count is too important. Viscount Tetasha has strength, but its foundation is not deep. In addition, there are other factors, it is difficult to give it to now!"
Since my father said so, Prince Xiusenya naturally had no choice but to say anything else. He could only sigh and end the topic.
Afterwards, both father and son deliberately avoided the topic of Tetashaoling and talked about other things. As they were talking, they talked about the matter of the eldest prince.
"Just Earl Fekham came just now and also talked to me about your elder brother. Your elder brother also wants to lead a fleet now. What do you think, if the third fleet is handed over to him to command the command?" the king asked in an tone of listening to his opinion.
Prince Xiusenya heard this and smiled: "Father, since the eldest brother wants to contribute to the country, isn't it a good thing? My younger brother is the commander of a fleet, and his older brother is also the commander of a fleet. Isn't it natural to do this?"
"You agree with that?" This was a bit beyond the king's expectations. He looked at his second son carefully. Seeing his calm expression, he admired and complicated in his heart: "However, some people suggested that you let the two fleets act together?"
"Father, I don't agree with this. You must know that my Fourth Fleet and Viscount Tetashau's fleet have formed a joint fleet. If the Third Fleet joins, it may have a great impact. I think the two fleets do not need to act together..." Prince Xiusenya immediately said seriously.
You can give in to anything, but this won't work.
Not to mention that Hailancha is the commander, even if he is the commander himself, it will not work.
The first is that you cannot tell the difference. The second is that the more troops there are, the better. A "person" who cannot obey orders and may even pull his legs is just the cause of defeat.
When the king saw him say this, he nodded: "What you said makes sense... In this case, the two fleets will not interfere with each other. The fourth fleet is led by you, the third fleet is led by your elder brother, and will go on a war together in the future."
"Yes, Father."
After the prince went out, Earl Fekham appeared again.
"What do you think?"
"Your Highness Prince Xiusenya is really getting better and better." Earl Fekham said this meaningfully, and there was no such thing as greed for money.
