My friend, a demon searcher, really made big news without making a fuss...
Chai Anping wiped away the black tea that had been sprayed out, and sighed in his heart. The whole Demacia was watching the candidate for the minister of the fourth division of the Demon-Seeker Corps, and many nobles tried hard to join but failed.
The most rumored ones are a general recommended by Marshal Tiana, and Amuda Lawrence, the second son promoted by the Laurent family after a long period of respite, who is the brother of Sword Princess Fiona.
However, Jarvan III did not seem to fulfill any party's ideas, but instead set his sights on Simmons, who came from a grassroots background...
However, this is obviously not good news for Simons. He is completely rootless now, and it is almost impossible to secure the position of Minister of the Fourth Department.
This poor demon seeker will most likely be manipulated by the nobles until even his bones are left.
"what should we do?"
Garcia turned to Chai Anping for help, and she was obviously well aware of the difficulties Simmons would encounter once he assumed this position.
Not only will his former colleagues hate him because of his role in the fourth department, but the major nobles vying for this position will also secretly attack him.
"Um……"
"Is Your Majesty determined?"
Simmons said: "His Majesty met with me in private and ordered me to effectively supervise the internal affairs of the Demon Seeker Corps after taking office, and not to ignore personal interests."
"...Having said so, it seems that His Majesty really likes you." Chai Anping couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he didn't take the lead by himself, otherwise he might have been responsible for Simmons' current situation.
To some extent, my foundation is shallower than Simmons's.
"This is both an opportunity and a danger for you. As long as you stand firm, you will become a member of the empire's top power circle." Chai Anping said.
He really didn't fool Simmons. The parliamentary seat that originally belonged to the commander of the Demon Searchers was given to the incoming Minister of the Fourth Department, otherwise the nobles would not have fought over it.
"It doesn't matter!" Simons gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty values me, and I can't live up to your Majesty's expectations even if I die! Gracie, you are a palace guard and you have a bright mind. You must have your own ideas about the details of this matter.
Opinion, I want to hear your opinion."
Chai Anping was astonished when he heard this. It was widely rumored that Jarvan III had a very charming personality. He never expected that the brainless Simmons would be willing to sacrifice his life and blood for His Majesty.
"Let me think about it..."
In fact, this matter is not difficult for Chai Anping to think about - why did Jiawen III fall in love with Simmons?
Isn't it because Simmons' grassroots identity is not the secret child of any family?
The fourth part of the Demon-Seeker Legion is the power department that Jarvan III finally intercepted. He certainly doesn't want this power to fall into the hands of someone with intentions again.
"Does your Majesty have anything else to say to you?" Chai Anping asked.
"Well... I did tell some news, but it's not easy to spread it..."
"Hi! There are only three of us here. If it's not some secret that cannot be leaked, it doesn't matter."
Simmons hesitated a little after hearing this: "It's not that it can't be leaked at all. Anyway, the appointment should be coming soon."
He picked out some less important conversations and said: "His Majesty also said that the fourth part of the Demon Seeker Corps is very important, and it cannot be left to me alone. There will be three deputy ministers to assist me.
…”
"Isn't it possible that two of them are Marshal Tiana and the second son of the Laurent family?!" Chai Anping suddenly added.
"That's right!" Simmons nodded: "There is another person named Palmer, who is quite young and came from... the palace."
"Palmer..." Chai Anping raised his eyebrows, he knew this person.
This person doesn’t have a distinguished family background, but his teacher is very impressive—Xin Zhao!
Although I have never admitted it directly, I heard that this person not only worshiped Xin Zhao as his teacher, but also was Jarvan IV's companion when he was a child. Tsk...
As soon as he became an official, he was entrusted with important tasks by Jarvan III. It seems that this person is not a simple player.
A smile appeared on Chai Anping's lips. Jarvan III was quite benevolent and righteous. Although he pushed Simmons into the fire, he still left some people to help him manage the overall situation.
"Simmons, in fact, it's not a bad job that His Majesty gave you." He smiled and said: "Listen to me, if you don't understand anything, go to that Palmer to discuss it. He will definitely not harm you. If there is any solution,
No trouble..."
Chai Anping lowered his voice: "Just go to His Majesty, and His Majesty will wipe your ass!"
"Be bold!"
"Ahem... I mean His Majesty will definitely sympathize with you and help you." Chai Anping said with a smile: "Don't get too close to other nobles. The closer you are to His Majesty, the more stable your position will be."
"Does dating you count?"
"How refreshing. I am a little shabby viscount and a shitty noble." Chai Anping rolled his eyes.
There are barons and viscounts everywhere in the capital, so only counts and above can really start to have a good reputation. Of course, this also means that the amount of merit required to be promoted to a count is an extremely shocking amount.
Hearing what Chai Anping said, Simmons couldn't help but sigh: "If I had known today, I would have followed your example and refused to take the credit. I was afraid that I would not be able to bring shame to His Majesty's wise name."
"..."
As loyal as you are, you are also very impressive.
"Believe me, you are right. Your Majesty likes a naive person like you." Chai Anping stood up angrily and prepared to see off the guests.
Garcia hesitated and said: "Gracie, that Palmer..."
Chai Anping blinked and laughed: "If I'm not mistaken, he should be a close associate of His Majesty."
“That’s it!”
Garcia's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt much more at ease.
Simmons was pulled up by Garcia, and the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds since this shared adversity. Perhaps Garcia suddenly had an idea. Instead of meeting casually in the past, he now pesters Simmons every day.
"It's getting late, so we'll leave first."
"Okay, welcome to visit us again next time."
Not long after seeing the two off, the door of Chai Anping's apartment was knocked again.
"It's strange, why are there so many people today?" Chai Anping scratched his head and opened the door again.
"Good evening, Mr. Gracie!"
"...Ah, this is Mrs. Liz, good evening." Chai Anping's expression was stiff: "What can I do?"
"You were not here when I knocked on the door during the day. I noticed that you had guests coming and I knew you were back." Mrs. Liz's tone was very polite: "I was asked to send you an invitation."
...No, have you changed this routine now!?
Chai Anping saw through Mrs. Liz's trick at a glance, and it was another trick to get him to go on a blind date!
"Haha, I wonder what kind of invitation it is?"
"You can open it and see for yourself. The invitation has arrived, so I won't bother you any more." Before Chai Anping could refuse, Mrs. Liz pushed the white envelope into his arms and helped close the door.
