Li's path

Chapter 233
The northwest corner of the royal capital "Grancel" is the embassy area of ​​various countries.Here, you can appreciate the architectural styles of various countries in the Western Continent.Among them, two buildings are the most eye-catching, one is the embassy of the Kalvard Republic, and the other is naturally the embassy of the Erebonian Empire.

The two countries have been at odds for many years, and the competition in the fields of politics, economy, diplomacy, and military has a long history.The embassy, ​​which represents the face of the country, has also become a stage for the two countries to wrestle.

The imperial embassy is located on the west side of the embassy district, which is in line with the geographical location of the empire on the mainland.The exterior wall of the embassy is largely painted in scarlet color, as if people can see Heimdall, the "Crimson Capital" that the empire is proud of.Inside the embassy, ​​the decoration is exquisite, resplendent but not kitsch, with an atmosphere different from that of Libel.

The first floor of the embassy is the living room, where most of the talks and negotiations are held.The second floor of the embassy is the office area, where all the personnel sent by the empire work. The ambassador's office is at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

The third floor of the embassy is the VIP area, which is generally used to entertain special figures from the country.As the prince, Olivier's residence in the capital is on this floor.

Li En is in his room right now, sipping coffee by himself.

As the host, Olivier is not in the room, he is talking with Ambassador Davill.

Needless to say, Davel's ability to serve as the ambassador to Liber.Whether it is liaison with his home country, ensuring the safety of expatriates, or helping international liner ships re-operate, he has done an excellent job.In addition, he has also properly handled difficult events involving many aspects. As an ambassador, he can be said to be the best.

Interestingly, the force field of this ambassador, who was born in a noble family, does not reject the concept of reform. Perhaps his ability to serve as the ambassador of Liber is the result of a compromise between the aristocratic faction and the reformist faction.

Olivier, who was determined to make a big splash in the political arena and confront "Iron Prime Minister", spent a lot of time on this ambassador.

After finishing a cup of coffee, Li En leaned back in his chair, squinting his eyes and talking to himself.

"From a political point of view, Liber and Ogua are natural allies, so the support of the ambassador is particularly important, will it go well?"

"I don't know. I've only read the concept of politics in books. I haven't experienced it myself, so I can't judge it." Celeste has been a house girl for a thousand years. It would be strange if she knew politics.

"Ha~" Li En rubbed his temples, "I don't really understand politics, anyway, it has nothing to do with beauty, so it's better not to get involved."

"Then you still?"

"It's okay not to touch it. The Treasure of the Sky is just the beginning, and it's Huan and Yan's turn next, both of which have something to do with the Empire."

"What did your dream tell you?"

"Yeah, the scale of the incident will be much larger than this time. If you want to protect your family, you can't do without planning in advance. Celeste, are you willing to help me?"

"I am glad to."

"Then let us experience together "Phantom" and "Flame" that are not inferior to "Empty"."

"It could not be better."

After getting along for a month, Li En and Celeste went from unfamiliar to familiar, from being polite to talking about everything.Both of them are very easy to get along with, coupled with a common hobby - reading, there is an indescribable tacit understanding.

Not long after, Olivier pushed the door and entered, followed by his guard Mulla.

"Well, how did the talk go?" Li En asked.

"Oh~" Oliver sighed.

"The talk broke down?"

"No." Mu La shook his head and said, "On the contrary, the discussion went smoothly."

"Then this is him?"

"Who knows what kind of nerves he has again!" Mu La was not surprised.

"My best friend, don't slander me so much." Olivier put on his usual smile, "I'm just Liber, it's terrible, I didn't expect to hear such a speech from the imperial nobles."

"So?"

Mulla briefly explained the attitude of Ambassador Davill—it is inappropriate for the aristocracy to be old-fashioned, and the prime minister's iron-fisted policy is also scary.

"Huh? Looking at that guy, I thought he was a stubborn old man." Li En was amazed.

"So the atmosphere in this country has the power to change people's hearts." Mulla sighed.

"Hehe, you are too." Olivier looked at his best friend, "The expression has become more soft, and it seems that it has been affected a lot."

"I don't deny it. It's you, you should learn more about the demeanor and restraint of this country." Thinking of Ogua's misbehavior tending to intensify, Mu La's forehead couldn't help but bulge, "Really, you only have softness that is infinite extend."

"Hehe, that's the only thing I can call a weapon." Olivier was proud of it, "It's something that allows me to even slightly confront that "Iron Prime Minister."

"There is an old saying in the East that softness can overcome strength." Li En admired Aogua's elasticity, "Your softness may really be able to restrain "The Earl of Steel."

"The Earl of Iron" is the name of the special train for the imperial government. Eleven years ago, Osborne, who was born as a commoner, was appointed as the prime minister by the emperor and conferred the title of earl, so the train got its name.The irony is that the Jagged Prime Minister has never recognized the value of the title, and he is the biggest subverter of the aristocratic system.

"Thank you." Olivier walked to the window sill, looking at the scenery outside the window reluctantly, "When I return to China, I won't be able to be as leisurely as I am now. I really envy you, Li En."

"This is your own choice, Your Royal Highness." Li En said seriously, "You have to finish climbing the path you choose."

From the moment Olivier made his debut in "Harken's Gate", he couldn't go back to his former leisurely life.When you gain something, you must lose something at the same time. This is the case in the world.

"Don't use such an ugly word like climbing." Olivier waved his hand, "It should be more elegant and gorgeous."

"Fuck is the word that suits you best." Mulla didn't give Aogua any room to play.

"Same feeling."

"My best friend, you, you actually forget the old love when you have a new love, my shy boyish heart." Aogua made Xizi holding her heart.

"Ouch~" Li En felt a strong discomfort in his stomach.

"Boom! Pop! Bang!" There was an upside-down cocoon under the window sill of the Imperial Embassy, ​​and a touch of gold dangling from the bottom could be vaguely seen.

After finalizing tomorrow's schedule with Mulla, Li En left Olivier's room.

"Olivier, your opponent is much stronger than you imagined, and everything you have done has not exceeded his expectations. Against such an opponent, what can you do? Let me wait and see. Your opponent is still my biological father, I don't know what kind of expression you will have when you learn this fact."

Before going down the stairs, Li En glanced back at the closed door and laughed at himself.

He is a very selfish person. Compared with the destruction of the world and the survival of his relatives and friends, he will choose the latter.Olivier is his friend, so he helps Olivier with ideas (though not necessarily of much use).

Of course, this doesn't mean that Li En wants to cheat his parents. Being deeply influenced by Chinese tradition, he has always believed in one thing - no matter what, children should not cheat their parents.

It can be seen from the trajectory of the flash that Osborne has a magnificent bearing, and he saw Olivier's actions, but he did not deliberately destroy them.Moreover, for this iron-blooded prime minister, Olivier's petty troubles are not even a scratch. Even if Li En helps, it is not a cheating.Even seeing the growth of the child, the father will be very happy.

Speaking of his biological father, Li En's mentality is quite complicated.On the one hand, he knew that Osborne had hidden secrets about abandoning the child, and even the Schwarzer family might have been prepared to adopt him.On the other hand, judging from Osborne's subsequent series of actions, he chose the former between ideals and children. As a father, he is not qualified.

Fortunately, his adoptive parents treated Li En just like his own, allowing him to experience the warmth of home again, and also made him firm in his belief that Yumir is his home, and his surname is Schwarzer, not Osborne.

All he can do is not cheat his father, and then find a way to repay the kindness of giving him life, that's all.

With such a mess of thoughts, Li En walked to the first floor, walked through the courtyard, and walked out of the embassy.He was so preoccupied that he didn't even notice the people passing by.

It was a red-haired young man with a lazy smile on his face. He was wearing a black dress with red trim, but he had a different kind of freedom and ease.

The young man turned around and looked at the black-haired boy who was drifting away with great interest, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
