Chapter 103 The Second Prince Charter
The capital of the Principal of Gene is also called Gene City. Gene City can be said to be the largest and most prosperous city in the Principal.
At this moment, in the palace of Gene City, King Lawrence, who was in his fifties, was checking letters from nobles from all over the world in a magnificent palace. Although he was in his fifties, as a high-level golden knight, Lawrence could be said to be in the past, and his eyebrows revealed the majesty of staying in a high position for a long time.
Lawrence's title is actually just a great duke. It is actually a bit inappropriate to call himself a king. However, since the former kingdom split, no one has ever cared about whether this is in line with the system. Only fists are the ultimate truth.
"His Majesty the King, the Second Prince asks for a visit!"
Just as King Lawrence was concentrating on checking the letters and making comments from time to time, a servant walked into the door and whispered to King Lawrence.
"Let him come in."
King Lawrence heard the servant's words and did not even raise his head. He still focused on the letter in his hand, but just spoke slightly and responded to the servant's words in low words.
"Yes, your Majesty!"
The attendant did not dare to neglect, so he quickly saluted and then lowered his head and carefully retreated from the palace.
"Father!"
After a while the attendant left, a tall and handsome man in a silk dress walked in. This man was Prince Chart, the second son of King Lawrence.
Prince Chart walked with powerful steps and gracefully approached King Lawrence's long desk. Seeing the king approving the letter, he saluted respectfully to the king and shouted.
"Chat, what else is there to do so late?"
Hearing his son's shout, King Lawrence finally put down the letter in his hand and looked up at Charter.
"Father, the child heard that Alice sent someone to write a letter to Wangdu. I wonder what it was? Did she regret it?"
Seeing Lawrence looking at him, Charter did not dare to look at him. He immediately lowered his head and asked respectfully when he was about to meet Lawrence's gaze.
Bang ~
"Didn't you tell you not to think about her anymore, you are such a useless waste!"
After hearing what Chatter said, Lawrence slapped his palm on the well-made office desk. The strong and thick table was immediately shot with a loud noise, followed by the stern scolding from Lawrence.
Chatter, who lowered his head, trembled all over when he heard Lawrence's questioning. Fortunately, Lawrence was his father in addition to the title of king, so he continued to answer in a low voice: "Father, the child knows that he is wrong. The child just couldn't help asking for it for a moment, please don't be angry.
"Hmph! Don't put such a well-informed message channel on a woman. Pay more attention to other things. How could I give birth to a waste like you? I asked you to approach her. It took you two years to make no progress."
When Lawrence heard Chat's admitting his mistake and his trembling body, he thought about it and was his son after all, and the anger in his heart was extinguished. He said a few words, then he picked up an envelope from the table and threw it in front of Chat.
"Look at it yourself, you should learn more from your brother, don't just eat, drink and have fun all day long. When you graduate from the academy in two years, I will enthrone you as the only marquis in the Principality of Gene."
"Yes, father!"
Chatter did not dare to neglect, so he quickly bowed to Lawrence, then hurriedly picked up the envelope that Lawrence threw down from the ground and opened it to check.
After Chatter opened the envelope, he began to view the contents.
This letter was exactly the letter Alice ordered Lina to send someone to the royal capital. It tells the story of Viscount Lanny who broke through the unspoken rules of the nobles and illegally built camps in the buffer zone to station soldiers, asking the king to issue orders to Lanny, demolish the camps in the buffer zone, withdraw the soldiers, and eliminate possible conflicts between the two sides.
"Father, what are you going to do with this?"
After reading the letter carefully, Chatter put the letter back into the envelope and respectfully put it back to Lawrence's long table.
"What else can be done? The kingdom law is here, and I will send it to the administrator for them to deal with it."
After Chatter read Alice's envelope, Lawrence continued to review other envelopes. Although he was not a qualified monarch for the affairs of the Jones family, he was a diligent king for the entire principality. When he heard Chatter's inquiry, Lawrence answered Chatter angrily.
After receiving Lawrence's answer, Charter was not surprised. Although his father coveted the wealth and land of the Jones family, he only wanted to use some clever means to obtain it. He would not show any partiality on these small issues and lose the reputation of his king.
"Father, I think this is a great opportunity!"
Chat lowered his head, his mind circulated, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He hated the ignorant bitch. It was that bitch who made him the laughing stock of the entire capital. This time, even if Lanny didn't use gold coins to bribe him, he would try his best to trip up the bitch when he learned the news.
"Since the Jones family does not obey the marriage you arranged, it means that they do not regard you as a true monarch. If you cannot show the attitude you deserve, the child is worried that other nobles will have a different intention."
After saying this later, Lawrence, who was focused on reading the letter, finally took action, slowly put the letter down, and glanced at Charter with a stern look for a while, but Charter was lowering his head as before. Lawrence could not see Charter's expression, but could only see his son standing respectfully.
Alice got news about his marriage from somewhere and chose her husband from the vassals in advance. This matter must have damaged the majesty of his king. Although the messenger was informed of this matter as soon as he arrived and did not read out the will of the marriage in public, even if the news was not read out, it could not be concealed from the great nobles in China. However, no one dared to mention this matter in front of Lawrence. In addition, this was not a glorious matter. Lawrence could not blame Alice for this matter, so it was left unresolved.
Now that Chatter mentioned it in person, he was tore the last fig leaf on Lawrence's face. Lawrence's eyes were a little fierce, and he asked in a tone of unpleasant joy and anger: "Then how do you think you should handle this?"
"Father, my child thinks you should order Viscount Lanny to help you mine that mineral, even if it is a coal mine or iron mine, you should develop it so that the great nobles can know that their land and what they now have are your rewards."
Although Charter is only 26 years old, he is already a knight of the silver grade. Even though he keeps his head down, Lawrence can detect it even when he stares at him with fierce eyes. However, he is not worried. He has taken all the situation into consideration before coming. At present, this situation is completely within his expectations, and it is the best situation.
“There is no precedent for developing buffer belts in the public sector!”
Lawrence continued to stare at Charter, but thoughtful in his mind.
"Father, Alice's resistance to your marriage is also a precedent for the Principality of Gene!"
"Then leave this matter to you! Remember not to go too far, the Principality also needs the Lord of the North to station in the north."
Lawrence finally let go. Alice disobeyed the will of his monarch and said that it was impossible not to care. However, now there are strong enemies outside, Lawrence needs stability in the public, so he is not ready to attack the Jones family for the time being. As for other nobles coveting the wealth of the Jones family, as long as it does not endanger the foundation of the principality, Lawrence is happy to see that after all, the power of the Jones family was weakened, which is more beneficial to him in the future to seek the Jones family.
"Yes, father, don't worry, the child must act cautiously!"
Seeing that his father finally gave up and handed over the matter to him, Chat felt relieved and immediately began to make assurance to Lawrence.
"You can go back if you have nothing else."
Lawrence ignored Chart's promise and started to drive people away. This second son was sometimes confused and sometimes smart, which made Lawrence not very fond of, especially after he got close to Alice's plan to fail.
"Yes, the child is leaving."
