A faint fragrance filled the palace garden, and the spring scene in the royal capital was much more beautiful than in the north.
Just in the garden outside the side hall where Richard cultivates, there are several kinds of flowers that Richard cannot recognize.
"Richard, what would you like to drink this afternoon?"
"Add some honey to the black tea, and you can soak some fruits."
"Well, I'll tell the maid to do it right now."
At this moment, Messiah is supporting Richard and wandering in the garden. Messiah will come to accompany Richard every day these days.
Logically speaking, this is not very in line with the rules. It is even inappropriate for Richard to live in the palace.
But now everyone knows that Richard is a great hero in protecting the emperor. Without Richard, it may not be certain who is sitting on the throne now.
As long as Renn doesn't mind, no one dares to say anything.
As for Princess Messiah coming to guard Richard every day, that is simply a good thing that Ren is happy to see happen.
After the battle with Mi Xiu in the square in front of the palace, Richard's strength in the eyes of everyone is already equal to that of a national dragon knight. After all, the strength of the Sky Knight is real.
Even Renn's attention to him has risen by several levels.
Qing obviously cannot take action easily, Jin Long will soon become unreliable, and in a sense, Richard will soon be the number one master in the kingdom.
Even now, news has spread in the royal capital that Hirano Hou Richard is now the number one master in the kingdom, and his personal strength is still higher than Thor's.
Anyway, the current situation is that Richard's strength and status have been raised to an infinitely high level. The high-ranking nobles who were still proud of their status are now very happy to take the initiative to establish a good relationship with Richard.
That is to say, Richard is currently living in the palace. If Richard continues to live in a hotel outside the city, all the high-profile nobles in the royal capital will probably come to visit him by now.
However, although the palace can block most nobles, some people cannot be stopped.
"Sir Richard, Prince Ward is here to visit."
Richard couldn't help but frown when he heard the identity of the visitor. In fact, he didn't want to disturb their world with Messiah.
If the visitor was of ordinary status, he would just find any excuse to refuse.
But after all, this man is the eldest prince and a strong contender for the throne. To say the least, he is also the eldest brother of Messiah. It cannot be justified that he is missing.
"Please come in, the eldest prince."
"yes"
Not long after, a man of nearly 30 years old walked in. He was dressed luxuriously and looked similar to Renn. He should be Prince Ward.
"Your Highness Ward"
Richard still gave a slight salute to the eldest prince who came in to express his respect.
Although this person's strength may be several levels lower than mine, who could give someone the right surname of Charman?
"Oh, brother-in-law, you don't need to be polite."
Prince Ward was very discerning, and he quickly came up to support Richard, and even called him brother-in-law to get close to him.
"Big Brother"
Messiah on the side also said hello.
"Little Messiah has such good eyesight."
"My brother-in-law was awarded the title of Marquis based on his military exploits at a young age, and he is still the number one master in my kingdom. There is no one in the entire kingdom who can compare with my brother-in-law."
Prince Ward looked like he was familiar with it, and he praised Richard fiercely when he came up.
He even put the title of the Kingdom's number one master, which was uncertain and very hateful, directly on Richard's head.
"I also brought you some sea dragon meat from the south. It was given to me by a businessman from the south. The meat is of quite good quality and is just right for my brother-in-law to replenish his health."
Sea dragons are naturally not a type of giant dragon. They can only be regarded as a sub-dragon species with a closer bloodline than kobolds.
It is more than 20 meters long and has a violent temper. It often attacks small boats in the sea. Only the cooperation of several large ships can capture it.
Then the most valuable part was specially made and sent to the royal capital. You can imagine how expensive it is.
These gifts used by merchants to please the eldest prince were randomly sent to Richard by Prince Ward.
"The eldest prince is too kind."
Although Richard was a little dazed by the eldest prince's enthusiasm, he still reached out to avoid hitting the smiling man, and still politely exchanged a few words with the eldest prince.
After the useless conversation back and forth, Richard finally became impatient. He wanted to stay with Messiah for a while longer, so he simply asked:
"Your Majesty the Great Prince, do you have anything important to do with me?"
"I just came to see my future brother-in-law."
"Um?"
Richard stared at the eldest prince for a while.
"Messiah, go and see if they have prepared the tea. Why has there been no movement for a long time?"
"Um"
Messiah knowingly left for a while. After watching Messiah leave, the eldest prince said:
"I wonder if my brother-in-law is willing to support me in my fight for the throne?
As long as my brother-in-law helps me ascend to the throne, I can double the territory of the Hunter family, and the position of Duke is absolutely indispensable. I can swear it in the name of my ancestors."
"Wait a minute, His Highness the Great Prince is serious. It's just that I have no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the royal capital. It's time to go back to the North when the injury is healed. I can't help His Highness much, and I can't be valued by His Highness."
Richard's words were polite, but his rejection was obvious. The eldest prince's smile instantly froze on his face.
It took a long time for the eldest prince to adjust his emotions.
"My door here is open to my brother-in-law at any time, and my commitment is long-term."
Then he turned around and left with a very free and easy look.
When Messiah came back, he only saw his back turning away.
"Brother, are you leaving now?"
"Do you know His Highness the Great Prince?"
"Ah? In fact, eldest brother has rarely communicated with us. Ever since I can remember, eldest brother has always looked worried. I haven't seen him smile very often. It's rare to see him smile for so long today. What's wrong with him?
?.”
"Well, it's okay."
Richard had already made a cross for the eldest prince in his heart. His biggest shortcomings were his impatience and lack of pressure.
What is Richard's current status? He is a powerful nobleman in the North, suspected to be the number one master in the kingdom, and the savior of King Ren. He is currently turning red and purple.
He is a prince who is not even a knight yet, and he wants to rush up to recruit Richard. This is simply a lack of pressure on himself. As long as Richard is in his right mind, he will refuse.
In addition, the current king Ren's talent is not weak, and he has now entered the rank of great knight. Unless something happens in the middle, he can live for at least more than 150 years.
Maybe, Renne can live longer than the eldest prince. Renne is now in his prime. If Richard takes refuge with the eldest prince, he might be regarded as a threat. How can he easily take refuge with a prince in this situation?
The status of the two parties is not on the same level at all, and Richard is not afraid of offending the other party if he refuses.
Shortly after the eldest prince left, a herald sent by Renne came to the other courtyard.
"How has Sir Richard recovered in the past few days? His Majesty would like you to attend the court meeting. If it is convenient for you..."
"It's almost done. Just wait for me and I'll go change my clothes."
The real thing cannot be deduced. This is the first court meeting in a few days after the rebellion. Merits will be rewarded and benefits will be discussed. How can we do it without being present?
"Ah, it hurts."
Just when Richard was thinking about how to get some benefits, he suddenly felt the soft flesh on his waist tighten, and Messiah was pinching his flesh and turning it around.
Only then did Richard come back to his senses. Although he had recovered well in the past few days, he had been pretending to be unable to move in front of Messiah and let Messiah keep supporting him. Now he was in a hurry to share the benefits and forgot.
After this,
Exposed.
"Uh uh..."
"It hurts, let go, I will go to the court and ask Your Majesty to marry you to me..."
As soon as Richard finished speaking, Messiah immediately let go of her hands and buried her face, not daring to look at Richard.
But you don’t need to look at Richard to know how Messiah’s face turned red at this moment.
Laughing loudly, he went to change his clothes, and then left as Ren's herald...
After Richard left, Messiah dared to raise her head, and a smile appeared on her red face...
