His steps were very heavy, and one step after another seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. The moment he left the balcony, he heard the eldest prince say quietly: "If possible, I also hope that I will always be your eldest brother."
"It's just that the situation is compelling. Even if you and I are princes, we can only be puppets of power and power."
"Third brother, if you have figured it out, I will always welcome you. This is my promise to you."
Shiloh nodded, took a deep look at the eldest prince, and pushed the door open.
The night in the palace was very quiet, but Shiloh felt a chill, like an invisible big hand grabbing him, making him unable to breathe or struggle.
As long as he is still a prince, he is destined to never have a peaceful life.
It was late at night and the streets were deserted. Shiloh returned to his mansion in a carriage with his guards. On the way, he saw a luxurious carriage parked by the roadside and a girl standing silently on the side of the road.
It's the girl behind the prime minister.
After the girl saw Herod's carriage, she silently walked to the middle of the road. Several guards wanted to drive her aside, but Herod stopped her.
"Your Highness Hilo, the teacher wants to see you."
Shiloh frowned slightly, thinking that these masters in the royal capital really didn't let people have time to relax, so he had no choice but to get up and get out of the car, and followed the girl to another carriage.
Sure enough, the prime minister was sitting in the carriage at this time, reading a book quietly by candlelight.
"Teacher, Your Highness Hilo is here."
Prime Minister Rafael Qiao closed his book with a smile and looked at Shiloh quietly.
Hilo hurriedly saluted, but the prime minister didn't say anything. Hilo looked awkward, and secretly wondered if the prime minister's opening remarks would also be something like "Little Hilo, I haven't seen you for half a year, and you have lost a lot of weight."
After two minutes, the old prime minister's bellows-like voice came out from his chest. As soon as he spoke, Shiloh was slightly startled. He didn't expect that the old prime minister could be so straightforward.
"Your Highness Hilo, are you willing to serve the second prince?"
Shiloh hesitated slightly, but before he could speak, the old prime minister smiled and said: "I have forgotten that His Highness Shiloh has always been independent since he was a child... Even if he is forced to be involved in this struggle at this time, what he thinks
It must be about how to protect yourself, not who you work for."
Seeing this, Shiloh no longer hesitated and nodded silently. The prime minister's words were completely in line with his thoughts. At this time, he had been exposed in one sentence, so naturally he would not deny it anymore.
"In this case, I will no longer bother His Highness Hilo. I just hope that I don't need to be an enemy of Prince Hilo in the future."
Hilo nodded and said: "After this birthday banquet, Hilo will immediately take people back to the Gulf Stream Island Chain and will never interfere in the affairs of the Royal Capital."
The old prime minister nodded, looked at Shiloh with his profound eyes for a while, and said: "I am tired, Your Highness, you can do what you want."
Shiloh nodded hurriedly and backed out.
After Xi Luo withdrew, he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect the second prince's recruitment to be so easy. Both parties reached a consensus without even saying a few words.
He watched the prime minister's carriage disappear into the night from afar, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back home!"
----------------------------------------
"Teacher? Just let His Highness Shiloh leave as easily as that?"
"Well, it's that simple."
"However, His Highness Shiloh has already met with the eldest prince in private before. What if he agrees to help the eldest prince?"
"No, if he really surrendered to the eldest prince, according to the eldest prince's methods, His Highness Shiloh would already have spies around him."
“…students don’t understand.”
"His Royal Highness Shiloh has such power that he cannot get into the eyes of the second prince... As for the Cavendish family, the teacher knows that old guy McMahon better than you do. Even though he is friends with several princes, you can't offend him, but in fact
, he won’t get on anyone’s ship.
So what if he lets His Highness Hilo stand by his side today? In the end, it's not that we don't help each other, it just wants to make the conflict between us and the eldest prince more intense.
Huh, this old guy is full of bad ideas."
The girl frowned, as if she didn't understand the old prime minister's words at all.
The old prime minister smiled slightly and continued to explain: "The current situation is too chaotic. It is best to maintain the status quo. Neither the second prince nor the eldest prince wants to quarrel with each other so early. Therefore, although the two sides secretly compete with each other, they are actually mutually exclusive.
The situation at this time was maintained with a tacit understanding.
As for the newly arrived His Highness Hilo, he has been dissolute and unrestrained when he was young, and he has no family power at all. Even if he has the island in hand now, if he does not operate it for more than ten years, what strength will he have to compete with us?
The biggest obstacle in front of us is the eldest prince. As long as the eldest prince's power is defeated, then the kingdom will all belong to the second prince. Then it will be easy to eat His Highness Hilo."
"So why bother spending too much time on him."
The old prime minister spoke too many words at once and coughed twice. The girl poured him a cup of hot tea and let him drink two sips before he felt much better.
The old prime minister closed his eyes and rested quietly, but he hid a sentence in his heart: Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you really want to watch the two princes fight each other? But you are still too anxious to introduce His Highness Shiloh's move.
.
The carriage moved forward slowly, leaving only the sound of horse hooves and the gentle sound of the wheels, crushing the silence of the night.
----------------------------------------
A few days after the reception banquet, envoys from the Free Federation also came to the kingdom. Nobles still visited the Hilo Mansion every day, but it was much more leisurely than before.
The eldest prince and the second prince were in the same capital, but there was no conflict. To outsiders, the two princes seemed to be incompatible with each other, but they were extremely close. They were brothers, friends, and brothers. They often took several princes and princesses out to play, and they had a great time.
Shiloh was also very happy and followed the two princes to visit all the beautiful places in the capital. What reassured him most was that the two princes did not talk to him about recruitment after the reception banquet.
During the tour, the most famous thing is probably the Royal Capital Competition held every year on Roddy’s birthday.
Pontos founded the country by force. There are countless mercenary groups in the country. Every year, representatives of various mercenary groups enter the royal capital to participate in the royal capital competition. From fighting animals, fighting teams to fighting groups, they compete with each other to determine the mercenaries.
The strength of the group is ranked, and the winners can participate in the birthday together.
This game can be regarded as the lucky draw of the birthday. It is extremely lively. It is held in the Beast Arena in the royal capital and will last until the end of the birthday. It attracts a large number of people to watch every day.
The Royal City Competition is divided into official and civilian competition areas. The civilians are mostly mercenary groups, while the official participating teams are representatives of the legions and the private armies of the emperor's relatives.
The winners who win the crown in their respective divisions will enjoy the respect of the people across the country and will also receive more benefits.
Shiloh was quite interested, thinking about where the Stormtroopers could rank among the national legion representatives.
However, he was curious, and he didn't want to expose the strength of his army now, so he could only laugh at this competition.
