"Dennis! I've been looking for you for a long time, and you're here."
Pavel's shouts of surprise and joy came from the dark entrance to the rooftop.
Dennis turned around and saw the drunk prince. Pavel's face was rosy and he had obviously drunk a lot of wine. But he was still conscious. Dennis quickly walked over and helped him. The moment Pavel saw Dennis,
A smile of infinite happiness filled his face. He stretched out his hand to stop Dennis's waist, and with the help of alcohol, kissed Dennis on the cheek. For Pavel, even if he owned the whole of Kislev, he would not be as happy as having Dennis.
He feels that he is now the happiest time in his life.
A look of contempt flashed across Roy's face, but it was not noticed by the prince. When Pavel found someone else standing on the rooftop, he saw clearly that it was Ms. Roy who had been in the hall before.
"Hello, Your Highness the Prince."
Roy smiled and saluted Pavel gracefully.
"Oh...Sorry, I didn't see you here just now."
Pavel let go of Dennis, half of his drunkenness was blown away by the wind.
"It's okay, Your Highness." Roy smiled, "It's very dark here, so it's normal that you can't see me."
While they were talking, Dennis deliberately nuzzled into Pavel's arms, showing a very affectionate look. The smart Roy naturally knew what was going on. She had lived for hundreds of years, and people's hearts had already seen through these conspiracies.
All this was so normal. What surprised her was that Dennis, who was only sixteen years old, actually had the IQ and emotional intelligence of a thirty-year-old human being. All her actions were so appropriate. When the prince was not around, she was calm and spoke sharply.
When the prince was around, she showed a delicate and pitiful look at the right time, which completely captured Pavel's heart. But when everyone was present, she remained silent and acted well-behaved. Because, she was not yet
The status of a queen is far from that of a prince. It is best to remain silent and humble.
Roy just felt in his heart that this girl was not simple.
…
Fergus Mansion Hall.
Honey cake, boiled quail eggs, braised venison, roast suckling pig... At the banquet, the delicious food was fragrant, and the cups and glasses were mixed.
While enjoying the wine, the guests asked the servants to get food for them. Among them, the plate of steamed mulos caught everyone's attention. This fish with a streamlined body lives at the intersection of fresh water and sea water, and only half of the fish is eaten every year.
The spawning period is several months. Due to its special habitat and very short spawning period, the number of this fish is also very rare. And because its meat is very delicious, it has been fished on a large scale. Now this fish has been used throughout Kislev.
There is not much left. It can be said to be a kind of luxury to see this plate of food on the wine table. The whole body of the mulos fish on the table is colorful and very beautiful. This is not its original color, but the color when it dies.
The colors that appear appear to be highly toxic. However, after being processed through multiple processes, they are safe to eat.
Dolly took a piece of fish from the dinner plate brought by the servant, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.
"Folgus, tell the truth, do you believe this prince who is not doing his job properly?"
During the dinner, the nobles were whispering underneath. The table full of delicious food was just a cover-up. Everyone knew that this was no ordinary dinner.
"Not doing your job properly? How do you say that?"
The old nobleman put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at his old friend beside him with half-smiling eyes.
"Humph, old man, there is no need for us to keep each other in check. Everyone in Kislev knows what kind of person Pavel is. Before this incident, he had never even officially appeared in public.
, and didn’t accomplish anything decent.”
As Dolly spoke, he pouted the delicious food in his mouth, as if he was trying to suck up the juice from the mulos fish.
"It's true that he didn't do anything big before, but this time is different. This time, it's not just us who support him. There are also many soldiers and ministers, including Roy. You know the power of her family
..." Fergus narrowed his eyes and said, "Also, it is precisely because Pavel has never accomplished anything before, so he is the safest. Because no one would think that a waste would do anything.
The matter of overthrowing her mother came out. I guess even Catalina herself has never thought about it."
"He is just the person who was pushed onto the stage of the times. There are countless pushers behind this. Without him, Pavel, there would be others who would be pushed onto the stage."
Fergus added that as the first person to support Pavel, he was very aware of the situation at hand. The gambling game is like a gamble. If you bet on the right person, the profit will be greater than any investment. But if you bet on the wrong person,
Not even your life is protected.
"There were people who opposed Catalina before, but they all failed."
Dolly muttered.
"This time, that time."
Fergus still narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"The situation now is different from before. During the Orengrad rebellion, it seemed that the country was in turmoil, but in fact the city of Kislev was as stable as a rock. In the palace, there was a one-sided crusade against the rebellious Orengrad rebels. A
No matter how rich Erengrad is, it is impossible for him to be an enemy of the entire Kislev. Later, Grand Duke Cohen rebelled and besieged the Bandaga Palace. That guy is just a cow. The time is not ripe and the strength is not enough, but he insists on going there.
Even if he had captured the Ice Winter Palace, once Katarina's army arrived, Cohen would still have to hand over the city of Kislev. These two battles were just small fights."
Fergus said——
"Until Rhodes revolted in the north. This was no ordinary rebellion. The entire north was connected, and Kislev had just been ravaged by the greenskins. The Snow Queen's strength was greatly reduced. I have to say that Rhodes's timing was really good.
There is no better time than this time. The opponent is in the weakest state. The successive wars and disasters have made the resentment in the people's hearts reach the extreme. Rhodes raised his troops at this time, just in time to respond to the call, and the anger that had nowhere to release was at this moment.
Everything broke out, and I heard that civilians who joined the Northern Army were lining up..."
"There is no time more suitable to raise troops than this time. It is like a fire, igniting at once. You see, in just half a year, Rhodes swept away all the resistance forces in the north, including Elengrad. The situation is excellent, even
The empire wants to get a piece of the pie. This fire is the most intense fire in the past two hundred years. Believe me, it has not finished burning yet. When it reaches Kislev, there will be another bloody storm.
.In such a situation, no matter how powerful Catalina is, she cannot handle so many crises at the same time."
"Then do we support Rod or Pavel?"
Dolly frowned and asked. Fergus just smiled.
"Supporting Pavel is supporting Rod."
Fergus replied with a smile. He deliberately did not tell the truth. However, smarter people already knew the meaning. Pavel was just a springboard. Everyone wanted to use him to achieve their own goals. From beginning to end, he was nothing more than a springboard.
