Chapter 459: Side Story VI: The Morning of Mindis (Part 2)
Kai walked into this elegantly decorated room, and sure enough, he found the owner of the room behind a desk covered with countless paper documents.
That man, dressed in low-key but decent clothing, sat quietly, gently and peacefully behind the desk, reading the book silently amidst the rustle of turning pages and writing.
Kaisan rushed to the large desk in two steps, found a gap on the table, threw his butt back, and sat down on it in an extremely inelegant manner.
He blinked and smiled playfully when he saw the owner of the room put down his pen with a sigh, glanced at him, shook his head helplessly, and lowered his head to fight with the book again.
Kai raised his eyebrows in response.
Here, he doesn't have to worry.
Here, he doesn't have to worry.
Because sitting there...
He is his most amiable and approachable elder brother.
Kai turned his head and was surprised to find a bottle of wine and several glasses on the side of the desk covered with papers. They seemed to be famous products from the Principality of Sera.
"I remember you don't like drinking."
Kai grabbed the bottle of wine rudely and asked directly.
There is no need for pleasantries, no greetings, and no meaningless politeness between them.
Because since a long, long time ago, this has been his refuge, Fengfeng Harbor, his last and true "home" in Yongxing City.
This is especially true after the death of my mother.
"But Horace and Heyman like it." Brother Wang didn't raise his head, but his voice was as beautiful as ever. Although it was not as sweet as Heyman's music, it had a different kind of gentle power that made people unconscious.
The earth calmed down its restlessness and calmed down:
"the same as you."
Kai grabbed the wine bottle, filled a wine glass, and shrugged:
"Then...thank you for the hospitality."
Brother Wang snorted, turned over a page, and grabbed another scroll.
Kai took a sip of wine, and while complaining about his brother's taste in wine, he also reacted to two other names:
"So is today a special holiday? A release from prison?"
Kai walked to the window and took a look, but he didn't see the two despicable figures working together. They were probably gone.
"Muscular guy, sissy, fat guy...why, as soon as the old stubborn left, all the weird creatures in the capital came to you?"
Brother Wang chuckled, his laughter vibrating in the air, gentle but contagious:
"Don't scold yourself like that."
Kai understood the irony in his brother's words after a second, and scratched his head:
"oh."
If it was Heyman or Horace who was sarcastic like this, then Kay would have been sarcastic without hesitation.
But this was what Brother Wang said, and it was just a little joke.
They are different.
They are also different.
"What do they want from you?"
The elder brother wrote something in a rustle and changed to the next page: "I'm looking for them. You know, my father is on patrol, and government affairs are reported directly to me."
Kai suddenly realized:
"Oh, no wonder Horace has such a bad face, it's so fucked up."
He said this, but he was very happy in his heart.
But Kai then realized that he had said a bad word.
He quickly pressed his mouth and made a silent mouth gesture to Brother Wang apologetically:
sorry.
The elder brother was as lifeless as ever, and his eyes still stayed on the paper. He just raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile.
Just like Kai's expression when he deliberately tore up his brother's books when he was a child.
Gentle, peaceful, tolerant and bright.
Kai guessed that no matter how much trouble he caused or how much trouble he caused, even if he killed King Exeter, the eldest brother would probably just be like now, shaking his head gently, smiling faintly, and then telling him:
I'm here, don't be afraid, go to bed early.
And he always has a way.
There are always some.
Thinking of this, Kai found that his red wine glass was empty. During the interval of refilling the glass, he glanced at the document in Brother Wang's hand. It looked like a letter written by an out-of-town noble.
He knew that it was a national matter, but Brother Wang didn't seem to mind.
"what is that?"
Brother Wang rubbed his frown: "The land tax dispute between Fenghui Castle and Maolin."
Kai blinked: "Serious?"
"This involves the conflict between the traditional rules of the Blade Territory and the Shukadel Act of the Wise Lord Era. I plan to ask Bank to mediate next quarter. On the surface, this is an uneven tax payment by the new and old nobles. In fact, it is...
"
Brother Wang suddenly raised his head as he spoke, revealing a gentle face, soft brows, making people feel more friendly, and peaceful eyes that never seemed to dim:
"What, are you interested?"
Kai raised his hands in surrender and shook his head like a rattle:
"Anyway, I can't understand these unless there are parts related to me?"
Sometimes he feels that he is lucky, never having to deal with these troublesome government affairs, and having an all-powerful elder brother to protect him from the wind and rain.
Even more fortunately, the eldest brother Wang is the crown prince, the heir, and the future owner of the stars.
Just think about it, if someone else succeeded to the throne, such as a lunatic like Horace or a idiot like Hyman, Kai swore that he would rather rebel and be ruined than see such a thing.
Well, except maybe Uncle John.
"Well, I think, yes," Brother Wang frowned and thought for a moment, showing a worried look:
"In the next five years, the ladies from Fenghui Castle will be more anxious to get married than before."
In an instant, Kai's expression changed drastically:
"My God, it looks like the problem is really serious."
Brother Wang looked at him and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
At this second, the corner of the brother's mouth curved into a beautiful arc, and his eyes were filled with smiles, as if he contained the optimism of the whole world.
The reason why Heiman was called "Beauty" and made people crazy, Kai thought, was because the eldest brother Wang didn't bother to compete with him.
Because when Brother Wang smiles, he is more beautiful than anyone else, gentler than anyone else, brighter than anyone else, and...
More attractive.
Kai also laughed naturally, still the kind of "silly smile" that would make him despise outside.
Only here does he smile like this.
Brother Wang put down his work and picked up the scented tea in his hand.
"I remember you are still in confinement and reflecting?"
Kai suddenly became nervous.
He hates grounding, yes, but he hates old stubbornness and people who issue grounding orders even more. So during this period, if anyone asks about the grounding, Kai will show a rebellious look that doesn't care, no matter how unhappy he is.
.
But Brother Wang...
In front of Brother Wang...
Kai, who was usually sharp-tongued but careless, stuttered unexpectedly:
"Um, yes, yes, in fact, I, I came here today to talk about this, that, although it is only a short night, I feel, um, I feel that my reflection has achieved profound and beneficial results.
…”
Oops, I seem to have forgotten all the manuscripts I prepared last night.
If I had known I wouldn't have flirted with the maid last night, I wouldn't have had time to memorize the manuscript.
Kai felt the dull pain in his little brother.
But Kai didn't need to say any more, because the eldest brother Wang showed a look that saw everything, and glanced sideways with a half-smile.
Kai stopped talking for a moment.
Brother Wang sneered.
Horace's sneer was a sign that he was in a bad mood and wanted to scold, Heyman's sneer had a condescending contempt, and Bank's sneer had an irritating sense of stupidity.
But this movement on Brother Wang's body seemed clear and natural, with nothing unpleasant at all.
So Kai had no choice but to surrender.
Sure enough, Brother Wang crossed his fingers and said seriously:
"So you want to explain to me the truth about why you were grounded by your father?"
Kai was about to explain when he heard his brother add:
"I mean...other than taking off your clothes and 'discussing poetry' with beautiful ladies?"
Brother Wang's expression was very serious when he said this, but his left eyebrow was twitching slightly.
Oh my god.
Listening to his brother's teasing gaze, Kai felt that he was going crazy.
He really wanted to find a hole to crawl in!
Very good!
He was roaring crazily in his head...
Is there anyone in the entire Errol world who lives in a remote corner of the country who doesn't know this secret?
He asked, who else?
Who else!
come out!
Come out……
Let me tell you!
Just when Kai was immersed in his "Kather's little self-esteem world", there was a sudden noise outside the window, attracting the attention of the two.
Just heard a scream, it seemed to be a maid:
"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness! Please wait a moment!"
Kai was shocked!
Embarrassed, he immediately found an opportunity to change the subject down the slope, rushed to the window, and pointed out the window exaggeratedly:
"No way, you took Connie out of the palace?"
Brother Wang shrugged, obviously understanding his purpose, but didn't say much.
Kassel stuck his head out of the window and saw a girl in a strange outfit on the roof of the wing of the Mindis Hall, who seemed to be trapped between two pieces of cardboard, running happily on the roof.
She nimbly passed through pairs of arms trying to stop her, not caring about the pale expressions on the faces of the attendants and guards behind her.
The girl was probably only eleven or twelve years old, with a delicate face and long flowing hair. Her bare feet were covered with dust, and her whole body was filled with joy and madness, which was in sharp contrast to the despair and fear of others.
"Don't worry, this is the latest version that I improved based on the classics, 'Connie's No. 6 Flying Wing'. There will be no problem. Just watch how I fly up into the wind and against the light."
The girl shuttled flexibly while shouting with great air, her joyful voice was high-pitched and high-pitched, and the entire Mindis Hall could be heard clearly from the manor to the hall.
She also attracted more and more guards, many of whom were panicked royal guards who didn't know much about the girl.
The girl ran wildly, flapping two pieces of cardboard, and saw that she was getting closer and closer to the edge of the roof.
"Your Highness, you don't want it!"
Amid the heart-rending wails of the maid and the incredible screams of the guards, the girl jumped towards the sun and jumped off the roof!
"Ahhh!"
She shouted excitedly, fluttering her arms, her long hair flowing, and the hem of her skirt slightly raised:
"I want to fly"
The next second, the girl drew a wonderful parabola in the air, and then went straight...
Fell down.
Falling into a bush.
After a period of rustling branches, Kai, who was stunned, finally heard the terrifying muffled sound:
Boom!
Kai shuddered violently, shrank his head back, and his facial features were crowded together.
It looks like...
It hurts.
The maid's hysterical screams echoed through the Mindis Hall again:
"Ah ah ah, come quickly!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you fell down again and again and again!"
So another large group of people were bustling and rushing downstairs.
The sound of footsteps is quite loud, comparable to a drum band.
After watching all this, Kai, who was still in shock, retracted his head from the window with difficulty, and finally straightened his lips, revealing an ugly smile:
"You, you really don't care?"
I don’t know when it started. Brother Wang once again resumed his posture of handling government affairs. He took his time and looked at the page of warrants without surprise or surprise, and said:
"What the hell?"
Kai pointed under the window and showed an ugly smile. He saw Morian and Rogo rushing to the scene.
"Well, about 'how to stop our little troublemaker sister from destroying Mindis Hall'?"
Brother Wang chuckled and showed the look in his eyes that he had pranked him when he was a child.
"Don't be afraid."
"Ada will take good care of her."
Don't be afraid.
Hearing these words, Kai was in a daze for a moment, feeling nostalgic for the past.
But...what did brother say?
Edda?
At this moment.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, please get out of my way!"
As if to confirm what his brother said, another short, slender figure flew out of the window with a fuss, crying heart-breakingly and shaking the earth:
"No, no, no, no! Little Connie, little Connie, please don't let anything happen to you!"
Boom!
There was another muffled sound, and several guards were knocked away, including Molian.
Kai's cheek twitched again.
"Little Connie, good Connie, wake up, wake up! Well, as long as you wake up, I will never call you bad Connie again!"
It is said that the brothers heard it since they were young, and it is said that the stubborn voice also heard it since they were young. It is also said that the old stubborn father and grandfather also heard it since they were young. With a sense of tragic heroism, it resounded through the sky as always:
"Don't die, ahhh! I just went to the kitchen to grill a chicken leg and came back. Why did you... wu wu wu... I'm sorry for you ah ah ah... If you are still alive, wake up, wake up."
ah……"
Kai was lying on the window, watching the cloaked figure below shaking something violently, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch unconsciously.
The surrounding royal guards and maids tried to step forward in panic, but the cloak was thrown away one by one.
"Ah!"
A few seconds later, a girl's unique, soft, waxy voice screamed, and then it started to sound from weak to strong:
"Ahem, Ada, you seem to be...pressing my breasts...ah!"
The voice sounded extremely aggrieved.
The surrounding royal guards seemed to have been scalded by boiling water. They turned around and returned to their posts as if nothing had happened.
Kai sighed.
Sure enough, the scary voice that was crying just a second ago sounded, with a special sense of surprise:
"Woo, eh?"
"Ah, ah, great, little Connie, you are still alive! Woo hoo, you are talking nonsense, hoo hoo, how could you have such an evil thing like a breast..."
The soft girl's voice was weak:
"Seriously, the book says this will lead to stunted growth..."
Kai looked at the scene under the window, then looked at his brother who was still calm behind the desk, and pressed his forehead feebly.
Well, yes, Ada is also here, so she will definitely take good care of Constance...
That’s weird!
Kai howled silently in his heart.
He suspected that half of his little sister's "abnormal activity" was infected by that obscure dwarf in a cloak!
Kai reluctantly left the window and walked back, picking up his wine glass again.
But that terrifying voice Ada howled again:
"Oooh, little Connie, I will never leave you again! By the way, do you want to eat chicken drumsticks? It's hot, open your mouth! I'm going to tell you a little secret I just overheard, don't tell it out..."
"That...Ada...my...mimi..."
"Well, do you know why your little brother was grounded? Because he got under the bed with thirty naked women..."
puff!
Kai sprayed a mouthful of wine on the carpet and choked violently.
I was so fucked!
You shouldn't have come today!
"You know Connie."
As if he didn't see Kai's embarrassment at this time, Brother Wang sighed to himself:
"She is lonely, lonely, and longs for attention and recognition."
Kai, who was coughing constantly and was immersed in "Kessel's little world without self-esteem", was stunned when he heard this.
He raised his head and met his elder brother's eyes.
But at this moment, Brother Wang's eyes were different from usual. They were not only gentle, not only tolerant, not only comforting.
Also brought something else.
The elder brother said quietly: "So she is eager to do something."
"And we all know how that feels."
"We should understand too."
Kai was silent.
He opened his mouth to say something.
But his brother's eyes were looking straight at him.
It was as if he had seen through everything.
So Kai lowered his head.
After a while, the movement outside the window finally stopped, and Kai regained his composure and sighed.
"Thanks to that old stubborn," he snorted, crossed his arms, his tone full of deliberate resentment:
"For more than ten years, it has been as if he did not have this daughter."
Brother Wang was silent for a while.
"Don't blame our father."
After a while, the always gentle brother said these words.
This is quite unusual.
Normally, Kai would not argue with him, because what Brother Wang said was usually not wrong, and even if it was wrong, it was reasonable.
But today, especially after being looked at by the other party with that strange look, Kai suddenly felt like there was a lump in his throat and he couldn't vomit.
"Father?"
He turned his back to his brother and said sarcastically: "Then what kind of father would hate his own child?"
Brother Wang hummed.
This time, his words were more serious, with a rare sigh:
"That's not hate."
"My father was deeply affected by his mother's death... You know, when he saw Constance, he would think of his mother and the pain of her death."
Kai's expression darkened.
Mother……
is that so?
The elder brother sighed:
"His deep love for his mother turned into torture and burden when facing Connie."
"How deep the love is, how heavy the torture and burden are."
"My father stayed away from Constance for her own good... because he was afraid that when he thought of the one he loved, he would no longer even recognize himself."
When he said the last few words, even the brother himself seemed to be in a trance.
Kai gritted his teeth and shook his head with a sneer:
"like?"
"Huh, nothing is more ridiculous than this. He clearly knows that if his mother sees him treating Connie like this, she will fight him to the death."
Just like she protects us, she protects all her other children.
Brother Wang did not answer immediately. The room was silent, not even the sound of turning pages or writing could be heard.
"Yes," Kai heard his elder brother say slowly at an extremely slow speed:
"She will."
Kai suddenly thought, not only Connie, but what would a mother think if she saw her beloved sons reaching this point, hating each other and being wary of each other?
Every time he thought of this, Kai felt nervous.
Brother Wang sighed deeply, and then resumed his gentle and friendly tone:
"Therefore, the responsibility of caring for my sister can only be borne by her brothers for the time being."
Brother Wang patted the back of his neck, as if to soothe his muscles and bones.
Kai also patted his head and pulled himself out of the abnormal state just now.
Well, forget about those naked women...
forget it……
forget it……
"By the way, I found a job for you."
Kai was surprised by Brother Wang's words and immediately forgot about the naked woman.
He turned around suddenly, with a wonderful expression on his face:
"Work, work?"
Kai almost thought he heard wrongly.
But the elder brother just nodded kindly.
"After all, my father made the confession before he left. It doesn't matter what form he takes. What you need is to 'reflect' and don't want him to get angry when he comes back, right? Or do you want to be truly 'grounded'?"
Kai's eyebrows skipped a beat.
Did the old stubborn confess it?
Is there such a sentence in the original sentence?
"Let that trash settle down" or "Get him out of my sight"?
What a joke!
As the prince of the stars, do you still have to work?
Well, Horace leads a group of big soldiers, Bank is the honorary director of the National Research Association, and even Hyman has the title of royal envoy...
After counting, he is indeed the only one who has some... um...
Thinking of this, Kai immediately changed his expression and said seriously:
"Oh, work! You know, I also have this plan..."
Kai scratched his forehead painfully, looking for excuses:
"In fact, I am planning to leave the city and go to Star Lake Castle in a few days. John told me that he needs help there..."
But Brother Wang just shook his head gently, with a hint of nostalgia in his expression.
"The anniversary of John's death has come."
In just one sentence, Kai's excuse died in his throat.
"Now is not a good time to disturb our Uncle Wang."
The fifth prince was silent for a few seconds.
In the end, Kai rubbed his head in frustration and looked at his brother innocently, feeling aggrieved:
"Wait a minute, are you serious? You're not going to let me fool you, are you?"
The elder brother smiled, still as gentle and approachable, making people unable to think of rebellion.
"Relax, it's in Yongxing City," Brother Wang accurately pulled out a stack of paper from the mountain-like pile of documents and threw it to him from a distance:
"Xicheng Police Department, go and help maintain order in Xihuan District, Xiacheng District and Xicheng Gate."
"This or grounding, you choose one."
Kai slapped himself on the forehead.
Well, there was no hole, at least he couldn't touch it.
but……
Kai rubbed his face in pain, his whole body drooping like an aggrieved puppy.
Oh, no, he is annoyed when he hears "vigilance officer" or related words now.
But he quickly focused his gaze:
"Wait, Sai Wan District?"
Isn't that... the district where Hongfang Street is located?
A gleam flashed in Kai's eyes!
Brother Wang nodded with an interesting smile and sincere eyes:
"Don't worry, it's a prosperous, lovely, beautiful and colorful place. If you go there to work and 'reflect,' you're also complying with the king's order. At least you don't have to be grounded."
certainly!
Kai's expression changed instantly, becoming serious and focused, just like when he was facing the girl's skirt:
"Well, yes, you are right... Ahem, I don't like grounding, and this is also an opportunity. As a security officer or other public servant, I can patrol, understand our city, and serve the kingdom...
…”
Especially Hongfang Street.
Brother Wang smiled again, very gently.
This made him feel more at ease.
Kai pretended to look through the information in his hand carefully, thinking about how to first confirm that Hongfang Street was within the scope of his work, and then change his attitude without losing face and secure this welfare position.
"I informed a security officer's staff there that she happened to need an assistant," the brother said softly:
"She also promised me that she will take good care of you."
Kai was thinking about things in Hongfang Street and nodded absently:
He simply ignored other words that made him unhappy, leaving the more important parts.
"she?"
Kai suddenly raised his head and his eyes lit up:
"You mean a lady?"
Brother Wang nodded gently and smiled.
"To be precise, the young lady is not married yet, and her family can't care about her." Brother Wang tapped the table with his fingers, his face was complicated, and there was a hint that Kai couldn't understand. It didn't matter. Anyway, besides eating and drinking,
Brother Wang knows a lot about having fun, but he generally doesn't know much about it.
And his brother will definitely not harm him.
the most important is……
Miss...Miss!
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter if you’re married!
Kai wanted to say that.
But he has to be reserved.
Ahem, yes, be reserved.
Kai suppressed his excited mood and told himself that eating food should not be too obvious as it would be too ugly. After all, Brother Wang is a serious person.
So go step by step...
"Is she beautiful?" Kai's eyes flashed with stars.
Brother Wang laughed again.
I saw his eldest brother holding his chin, reminiscing in a serious manner, frowning slightly, and then nodded gently:
"very beautiful."
At that moment, Kai's eyes almost radiated with the light of faith.
My brother is a man of faith and has never lied to himself.
Yes!
Brother Wang tilted his lips, continued to chuckle, and added weight to him:
"Also smart and considerate."
Oh, God.
marvelous!
Dear, handsome, great Crown Prince, you are really my brother!
If it weren't for the fact that we're across the table, I really want to kiss you!
Kai's resistance and annoyance he had a minute ago seemed to have disappeared, and he felt as if he had been immersed in the most wonderful hot spring.
"When will you start working? Can you go now?" He blinked his bright eyes.
Brother Wang smiled again, and his smile became even cuter.
He pulled off a page of notes and wrote an address and name:
"Xicheng Security Department, go directly to Security Officer Bakvi without bringing any attendants."
Of course, of course.
Kai was no longer making trouble, but was nodding like an avalanche.
How could such a good thing come at the expense of that rough man Val and that fool Cana?
"By the way."
Brother Wang was writing with a sense of nostalgia in his tone:
"That lady is very charming."
"Don't fall in love with her accidentally...you will suffer."
hey-hey.
Fall in love with her?
Kai eagerly took the note and turned around in a skilled dance move, facing Midiel.
You are really worrying too much, for a veteran like me who has been through thousands of flowers...
Kai stretched out his hand and waved, walking backwards out of the door, showing a confident smile:
"You know I won't."
Brother Wang still had that reassuring smile, and he waved his hand in a mocking tone:
Go quickly.
Kai's figure disappeared.
But a few seconds later, his palm reappeared at the door.
"Hey, Midir."
Kai, who had left and returned, stood outside the door, scratching the doorframe with his head, asking his eldest brother, who had his head buried in the papers, to look up again.
"Um?"
Kai patted the door frame gently and said hesitantly:
"Thanks."
Midiel at the desk raised his eyebrows, put on a helpless look, and shrugged:
"Ha, who told me this was my father's order..."
But Kai shook his head.
"No, I mean..."
Kai scratched the door frame and squirmed, seeming a little embarrassed.
"Thank you."
"for……"
But he finally took a deep breath, shook the note in his hand, and unconsciously pointed in all directions:
"everything."
"Thanks."
Thank you.
Brother.
Thank you for tolerating me when everyone hates me.
Bear with me.
take care of me.
Care for me.
Understand me.
Midir Shining Star.
Thank you.
Thank you for becoming my brother the moment I was born.
Forever.
After finishing his words (although most of them were in his heart), Kai lowered his head and rubbed his nose. He was not used to doing this.
Some even dared not look at Midiel.
Not just out of fear...
It’s even more because…
But Brother Wang laughed again.
This time, Midiel smiled very softly, which could be described as insignificant, but there was clear emotion in his eyes.
"oh."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Stars nodded, leaned back on his chair, and raised the corners of his mouth with peace of mind:
"certainly."
Kai smiled and pursed his lips.
He knew it was the same as before.
My brother understood.
He made a face, knocked on the door frame, and disappeared from Midir's eyes.
Seeing his younger brother leave with a smile on his face, Midiel, who was hesitant to speak, couldn't help but raise his lips slightly.
"Also, stop discussing poetry!" the Crown Prince said gently but firmly.
The next second, the sound of human bodies hitting wood was heard in the corridor outside the door, accompanied by Kai's hissing in pain.
Midir chuckled and shook his head.
In the distance, the chirping voices of Connie and Ada could be heard vaguely.
Young man.
The crown prince raised his head, looked out the window at the warm and vibrant sun, and took a breath of fresh air.
Like the morning at Mindis Hall.
Beautiful, bright and carefree.
like this.
Forever.
After experiencing the relaxing and wonderful morning, Midiel came back to his senses, lowered his head and sighed, returning to reality.
Back into his yoke from which he will never be freed.
