Make the dragon great again

Chapter 101 The Prince's Hesitation
The City of Thunder is generally a trapezoidal structure that gradually rises from south to north. The highest point is the upper royal palace area, the middle-level aristocratic area is slightly lower than the royal palace area, and the lower-level civilian area is below the relatively flat mountainside.

After Charles left the main hall of the palace, he did not return to his bedroom in the palace area. Instead, after sorting out his state of mind, he left the palace and came to a gorgeous building in the middle-class aristocratic area.

The magic-driven door opened automatically after Charles, who was holding an invitation letter for identification, approached. A tall and straight middle-aged man dressed as a butler greeted him with a professional smile.

"Your Highness, you are here. The banquet is about to start, and the Patriarch is still worried about whether His Highness won't be able to come today."

Charles said apologetically:

"Today, my lord sister suddenly invited me to visit my lord father together, so there was a slight delay. I will personally apologize to Marquis Rocdy later."

"Your Royal Highness is too polite. You have a noble status and should be the heir to the kingdom. It's just a matter of waiting for a while. The Patriarch will not be dissatisfied. Please don't take it to heart..."

There was something in the butler's words, and Charles, who had just taken off his coat and was passing it to the servant behind him, paused, but quickly returned to normal, and walked into the building nonchalantly after the butler gestured sideways.

When passing by the slightly bowed butler, Charles said softly:
"Don't say such things anymore. My sister is the first heir to the kingdom, and my father is just in a coma. One day he will wake up."

The butler smiled and kept bending slightly, but said nothing.

After Charles stepped into the building, the butler straightened up, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers,

The servant who came with Charles shook his body, recovered from the inexplicable state of distraction, and found that he had held the coat that His Royal Highness took off at some point...

This luxurious building is the mansion of the Kingdom's Minister of Finance, the Marquis Rocdy, in the capital. Today's banquet is a seemingly "normal" noble dinner hosted by the Marquis Rocdy.

The visitors were all nobles in the royal capital, among them there were many local nobles with titles above earls, and those big nobles who only had titles but no fiefs came here, and some even received the news in advance. Within a hundred miles, he came to the capital.

The protagonists of this banquet are several ministers of the kingdom headed by the Marquis of Rockday and the Marquis of Orlando. As for Prince Charles, although his status is distinguished, in the eyes of most people who participated in this banquet, this prince who has not shown much so far Your Highness, I was just invited by a few ministers...

There was a lot of wine and wine at the banquet. After all, they are all aristocratic groups that rely on their reputation in the circle. Even if most people don't think highly of this prince who has no "hope" before the first princess completely loses power, there should be proper etiquette and proper manners. Greetings are still there.

"Gui'an, Your Royal Highness."

"Your Highness Charles, it's been a long time since the last farewell..."

"His Royal Highness Prince……"

With a standard "business" smile on his face, Charles nodded to every nobleman who spoke to him, and said a few words to some of the nobles with higher status from time to time.

But soon, after almost everyone met Charles, the surrounding of His Royal Highness quickly became deserted.

Charles still had a relaxed expression on the surface, but he sighed slightly in his heart.

To be honest, as the only prince, Charles, although he cannot be said to be outstanding in all aspects, is still at the upper level of his noble peers. No matter how bad he is in the future, he will be a marquis, and he may even have a fief The Field Marquis, normally, shouldn't be neglected like this.

However, Charles, who is not mediocre, has an overly outstanding sister——Anastasia.

The first princess of Bechymos, the first heir to the kingdom, and the only student who is the second seat of the High Tower Council, has reached the third level of strength that most people can't touch in their lifetimes at a young age. Known as the next hero class to be born in the kingdom after the sleeping Benio IV;

And there are gossip that the mysterious chief of Gaotalin, who is suspected to have become a legendary archmage, has appointed the first princess as the next new member of the Supreme Council...

Behind these halos, not only symbolizes the peak of personal might of a future human race, but also hides huge political capital.

——Every monarch in history who is also a member of the Supreme Council of Gaotalin, whether it is a wise monarch or not, but they all lead the country to the road of hegemony during their tenure!
In contrast, Prince Charles, who is not mediocre but not very brilliant, seems extremely mediocre...

What's more, Benoit IV fell asleep for 20 years, and many nobles speculated that his soul had died. As the Duke Regent, Elizabeth, Duke of Keton, was a strong woman with a sense of "women first" in everyone's eyes.

Unless Benoit IV wakes up and digs a piece of the existing aristocratic order to give to Charles, everyone is not optimistic that Prince Charles will be able to obtain any rights other than the title of Marquis without fief after the new king succeeds ...

Originally, Charles, who grew up in the atmosphere of "my lord sister will become Her Majesty the Queen in the future", has no dissatisfaction with his situation, and is even very proud of his sister.

However, this situation was not until more than a year ago, to be precise, from the accident more than a year ago until the first princess returned to the capital a few months ago, this situation has quietly changed...

"Ugh……"

Charles sighed softly again, feeling extremely entangled in his heart.

At this time, a male voice came from behind Charles along with three different footsteps:

"Why is your highness sighing? If your sad face is seen by those ignorant moths around you, I'm afraid it will cause them to laugh again in their hearts."

Charles turned around, smiled wryly and said to the visitor:
"Minister Roddick, Minister Orlando... Since everyone knows that I am just an object of contempt, why should I pretend to be noble in front of them?"

Those who came were the Marquis Roddick, the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom, his butler, and the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Kingdom—the Marquis of Orlando who accompanied Anna to visit Benio IV a few days ago...

It was Marquis Roddick who spoke just now, and Marquis Roddick smiled and continued:

"The object of ridicule? To be honest, I have always admired His Highness's humility, which is much more noble than our powerful Duke Regent and His Royal Highness the First Queen who has committed almost treasonous acts." gone."

Charles frowned, and quickly looked around, but found that the nobles around him didn't pay attention to this side at all.

You know, there are two ministers of the kingdom and a prince standing here. It is impossible to say that they are not eye-catching, but now they are abnormally unobserved from the surrounding eyes.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Miles has become a fourth-level heroic magician last month, and he is also a rare magician who specializes in spiritual systems. Those moths will not notice this."

The Marquis of Rocdy proudly introduced Charles to his new hero-level butler.

After hearing the word "psychic system", Charles, who had just heard a series of heavy news in the palace, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

This micro-expression was noticed by the Marquis Rocdy and the housekeeper Myers, and they smiled knowingly.

Charles was indeed frightened, but Marquis Rocdy didn't know that the reason why Charles was frightened was not what he thought...

At this time, the Marquis of Orlando, who had been silent just now, took a step forward and said to Charles:

"Your Highness Charles, regarding what we said before..."

"There is no need to talk about this matter again! Father, he is not banned by Elizabeth for his soul."

Before Orlando could finish speaking, Charles interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"This……"

Marquis Orlando looked surprised.

He and the Marquis of Rocdy both secretly supported Prince Charles as the crown prince, and after more than a year of continuous persuasion, Prince Charles has actually shown a certain intention, but he did not expect that Charles would suddenly change his previous attitude today. ...

The Marquis Rocdy on the side moved his eyes and said to Charles:

"Could it be... His Highness learned something in the palace today?"

……

To be continued, change first and then change.

Barely caught up before 12 o'clock...
