my age of magic

Chapter 874 375. Who Breaks Up Who
I have imagined many versions of meeting the Prince of Wales, but I never imagined that he was just riding a horse and standing under a plane tree, without furious curses, silent fists and kicks, and no hysteria. Tears streamed down his face, without arrogant sarcasm, he just stopped quietly under the tree like a gentleman, looked up at the red-haired beauty on the terrace, and greeted her softly.

Katerina bit her lip, and glanced at me secretly with her big ruby-like charming eyes, seeing that I was also looking at her curiously, her face flushed like drunkenness, but she didn't answer the greeting from the Prince of Wales, just awkwardly Nodding, he hurried into the house.

Sitting up from the recliner, I asked the Prince of Wales, "Would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea?"

I thought it was just to be polite to him, but I didn’t expect him to jump off the horse when he heard my invitation. Under the watchful eyes of Ella and Deborah, he opened the courtyard door and walked in, sitting on the chair beside me. down.

His face is sharp and angular, with a high nose bridge, deep blue eyes, sunny and handsome, wearing a set of hard leather armor with a magic pattern structure, and wearing a delicate long sword on his waist, whether he is sitting or standing, he has an air of royalty aristocratic demeanor.

Ella brought out a cup of herbal tea from the kitchen inside the house, and stood aside, staring at the Prince of Wales curiously and somewhat timidly.

The Prince of Wales turned his head to look at little Ella, and immediately made the little girl in front of him turn red, and ran away like a gust of wind.

He smiled and said to me: "Very cute orc girl! Is it a hybrid?"

"Well, her mother is now my follower. His father was the son of a farmer in Ayr. She died when she was very young. She is a good and obedient child." I said to Wales After finishing this, I didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.

For a moment, my heart was full of mixed feelings. I thought of the enthusiasm of the Prince of Wales when he met me for the first time. He patted his chest and said to me: I heard Yingli talk about you. I support you. Come on!

Later, at Prince Eric's ball, I fell out with Duke Ryan, and the Prince of Wales chose to stand on my side without hesitation, and said to Duke Ryan's head: Ji Jia is my friend, please Duke Ryan let go.

I know that was exchanged for the victory at the Battle of Kampato.

If the Prince of Wales is just someone who has nothing to do with me, even if he is the king of the Grimm Empire and the great lord of the separatist side, I will not be so short of breath, but he is the one standing behind Yingli , because of my relationship with Yingli, the Prince of Wales gave me a lot of help.

But now, no matter what, the engagement between him and Qige has been terminated. There may be other factors in it, but the reason leading Qige to make a decision lies with me.

"I'm sorry..." I really want to turn into an ostrich at this moment and stick my head in the sand.

"Why do you say that?" The Prince of Wales smiled, his voice a little dry, "Do you think it's pitiful for a prince to be abandoned? It won't be as bad as you think, those rich and famous ladies who want to marry me Hand in hand, we can surround Weiyang Lake, and I am the most promising prince in the empire."

That's right, this summer, the only member of the Angibald family in front of him who shined brilliantly in the Green Empire, he has almost become a well-known star in the imperial capital.

He reached out and patted my shoulder, and said to me: "Don't put on a bitter melon look, shouldn't it be me who should be comforted at this time?"

I forced a forced smile at him.

Those who have never experienced it will never believe that the Prince of Wales is actually a chatterbox.

He sat on the chair, took a sip of tea with honey, and then began to say: "Actually, the marriage contract between me and Qige is beyond our control. It involves various aspects and many things. The most important thing is the interests of the two families. Originally, we were able to establish a marriage contract to strengthen the relationship between the Angibald royal family and the Etia royal family, so someone stepped forward to facilitate this matter."

"It's just that when someone starts to realize that after I combine with Qige, I will form a new force and become Green's second Prince James. For many lords, this is the last thing they want to see , so someone stood up to obstruct it.”

There was a kind of pride in his eyes that belonged to members of the royal family, and he continued: "No one dares to stand up and accuse Uncle James because he is in charge of the South Wind Legion, the lord who can withstand Uncle James' wrath There are only a handful in Green."

"Jijia, you probably don't know that those dukes who occupy the territory of the empire's provinces will expand their power rapidly after they have a vast territory of the plane, but no matter how powerful they hoard, they still just do it honestly. Lord of the Green Empire, the most fundamental reason is that Charles is in charge of the Royal Constructed Knights Legion, while Uncle James is in charge of the South Wind Legion."

I seldom hear people talk about the secrets of the royal family. I heard the Prince of Wales Qingkou say this. Thinking about it, no one wants the power of the royal family to be too strong. This will only make the dukes of the imperial capital who own a large territory live in fear .

Wales said to me: "These two powerful forces, whichever one is used at will, are a deadly threat to these dukes of the empire."

"The Royal Constructed Knights under the direct command of His Majesty Charles will use most of their strength to protect the imperial capital and the plane occupied by the royal family. Although Uncle James' South Wind Legion is defending against the Naga Sea Clan in Haiyinsi City, but In fact, the deterrent power of the South Wind Legion is more than that, and at least five of the great lords who rebelled against Grimm that were conquered by the South Wind Legion in these years were sent to the guillotine."

Speaking of this, I secretly whispered in my heart. I never thought that under the prosperity of the Grimm Empire, so many secrets would be covered up.

"These dukes already have two swords hanging over their heads and absolutely don't want to add a new one," Wales said.

"Qige's crazy potion helped me turn the tide of the Kampato battle, and it also became the catalyst for our engagement. Many dukes probably don't want to see a young Royal Knights grow rapidly with the support of a new type of magic potion. stand up."

"A few years ago, they underestimated the power of a magic pharmacist, but now, they absolutely don't want a magic pharmacist with such achievements to only provide magic potions for the royal family! Hehe."

"Qige and I are the victims of the game between the dukes who own a large territory and the royal family. They hope that Qige and I will break up completely, which is more in their interest, oh, in everyone's interest."

There was a trace of helplessness in the Prince of Wales' eyes. The interests he said probably also included the interests of the Angibold royal family and some interests of the Qige family.

At this time, Katerina came out of the house, carrying a large fruit plate and a bottle of golden cider. Little Ella followed behind Katerina carrying a bucket full of ice cubes. The two put these things on the table , turned and left without saying a word.

Deborah was standing at the door, looking curiously at the Black Lin horse of the Prince of Wales.

……

"I've lived in the palace since I was a child, and I'm used to seeing the gestures of court ladies looking forward to men. It's ridiculous."

"At that time, I spent all day in the palace studying various noble etiquette, geography, astronomy, history, swordsmanship, etc., and my daily life was completed by looking at the schedule in the grid. You probably couldn't imagine how life in the palace would be. It was so boring. Later, I met Qige at the ball. She said she was from the United Kingdom of Etia. She liked dancing very much at that time. She taught me ballroom dancing with different dance steps. Naturally, we became very good friends. .”

"She is different from other girls in the palace, she is born with magical powers, loves to dance and travel."

"At the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, I asked Qige for her personal maid, Singer, and completed my transformation from a boy to a man. Not long after, she followed a song and dance troupe to go to the dwarves quietly. Stan City in the country, and I haven't seen Singer since then."

"I heard from Katerina that she married a tanner who already had several wives."

"Everyone has the right to choose happiness, but I don't know why that cobbler can give her so-called happiness."

"Later, Qige returned to the imperial capital and completed her studies at the Royal Academy of Magic. With a few academic papers in the Royal Academy of Magic, she won the title of Potions Scholar in one fell swoop. At that time, I knew that she seemed to be waiting for someone .”

"After she graduated from the academy and joined the Imperial Academy of Magic, I found a good opportunity to confess my love to her."

"That night, a group of our friends gathered together to chat and drink casually. Later, when everyone dispersed, I mustered up the courage to tell her: If you can't wait for the person in your heart, why not marry me."

"She kept smiling foolishly. I thought I had failed, and I didn't expect that when she was leaving, she actually said to me: That's all right!"

"There is such a tradition in Green. After many people get engaged, the woman will send her personal maid to the man to enhance mutual relationship."

I thought of Noah, the coming-of-age ceremony that Noah attended last year, and the relationship he had established with Shirley Newman this year.Noah went to Shirley's house as a guest, and was approved by Shirley's family, and then Shirley asked her personal maid to serve Noah at night. It seems that this is a tradition of the Grimm Empire.

"At that time, Qige's most trusted personal maid was Katerina. Qige told me that Katerina had been waiting for someone for the past few years. Just marry yourself, want to avoid the laws of the empire, and slowly wait for that person to appear, I have some in-laws with the Duke of Samoyed, so I sent Katerina to the Duke of Samoyed's barracks."

"I just didn't expect that the person Katerina was waiting for would be you!"

I smiled awkwardly, and told Wales some things I experienced in the wilderness at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau. I talked about the first time I killed someone, and it was a gray dwarf. I kept having nightmares all week, and Katerina was in the magic caravan, taking care of me day and night, and our group successfully crossed the North Foot Wilderness.

The Prince of Wales sat aside and listened with great interest. He said, "Qige has never talked about these travel experiences!"

Before I knew it, the Prince of Wales and I drank up a whole bottle of golden cider, and I wanted to ask Katerina to take out another bottle, but the Prince of Wales waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow I will take the Knights to the The Kenda plane is here, I came here today to find you, and I didn't want to talk to you about these things, the purpose of my visit this time is to ask you..."

I became very nervous for no reason, thinking that the Prince of Wales was going to ask me: who would I choose between Qige and Yingli?
My heart was beating wildly with a 'thump, bang', and I raised my heart to my throat all of a sudden.

I heard the Prince of Wales ask: "Do you really need me to tell William? Now my Constructed Knights will go to the Vala Valley and join the Mo's Legion to resist the Hell Devil. If possible, this time We are going to temporarily seal the passage there and liberate all the legions stationed there by the Mo family."

"The duel agreed between you and William can be canceled with just a word from the elders of the Mo family." Welsh rubbed his hands, and worded his words carefully, perhaps because he was worried that I would feel embarrassed. The young master of the Mo family has a cup of tea to ease the relationship?"

"..." I looked at the Prince of Wales speechlessly. These words did not seem to come from the mouth of a rival in love. Could it be that I heard it wrong?Or is this a knightly virtue?

I shook my head firmly.

Wales didn't force me any more, just said: "Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you too much."

At this time, he was about to stand up and walk out.

But then he stopped again, turned his head and asked me: "There is one more thing, you have to tell me honestly, do you know where Ying Lizang is?"

The Prince of Wales pressed me again: "Is she safe there?"

I nodded, feeling like I was really dumb.

Welsh finally showed a concerned look on his face, and then asked me: "Is she doing well these days?"

I thought about it, and said to the Prince of Wales, "It's okay. It's a very nice place. If there are no accidents, I can see her tomorrow. Is there anything I can tell her?"

Welsh pressed his forehead in distress, and said to me: "If you can, please tell her and let her go home early. No one can interfere with her thoughts, and no one will deprive her of her freedom. Also, I am making a request to you as an older brother: You must treat her well, if you dare to make her sad, no matter where I am, I will come back and beat you hard."

……

I watched him go under the plane tree at the door and get on his horse.

Just before his imperial horse wanted to leave, he seemed to think of something, and said to me: "Oh, by the way, let me tell you another thing, Uncle James has arrived in the imperial capital, maybe other than my father His Majesty Charles , the person he most wants to see is you! You have to prepare well, and don't lose points in front of Uncle James at this time."
