There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

"..."

"Argyle, Edward, Domi, listen carefully."

"This time, I will divide the entire family's support rights and the resources behind this right equally between you and Rosa, into four parts!"

"Whoever you want to support, go over and tell that prince or princess that I will support you on behalf of the family, and the family will carry out the order unconditionally."

"I will announce this decision in the early spring of next year, so you should prepare yourself!"

Chapter 166: The Divine Day for the Two of Us

Chapter 166-165- The Divine Day for the Two of Us

Carlos' sudden decision really left the three of them confused. They thought that even such a big thing as the fight for the throne would not be their turn to worry about. Even if the sky falls, there will be taller people to support it. Carlos will make the decision on behalf of the family.

But now this power has been divided into four and handed over to them.

Domi really wanted to ask Carlos, what insights could a few twelve-year-old kids have on this shit?

Besides, even if the Blofeld family is large, the resources it can use to support the candidate for the throne are always limited. If it is divided into four, even if the bet is right in the end, what benefits can the other party bring to him?

The initial behavior of casting a wide net and catching more fish may be dug up and used as evidence or a breakthrough.

Domi immediately expressed his doubts.

However, Carlos did not change his mind. Instead, he said with mysterious confidence:

"You just need to know that no matter who the next emperor is, he can't shake the family's position. Just go for it."

The three brothers finally left the room in confusion, came to an open-air balcony, leaned on the railing and stared into the distance in a daze, their expressions were surprisingly consistent.

Even the most heartless Edward knew that a decision of his could very likely cause a huge amount of family resources to go to waste.

If it was someone else's money, he would gladly accept it and actively offer advice, but now it was his own money, and he would be lying if he said he didn't feel bad...

"What should we do?" Edward asked in silence.

"I don't know." Argyle shook his head. "Rather than choosing a prince right now, I think it's more important to understand my father's intentions."

Duomi immediately replied, "Father probably wants us to infiltrate each camp. This way, even if we don't gain much in the end of the competition for the throne, we will still be invincible."

"Thinking more deeply, my father's ultimate goal is to make us grow faster, so he gave us this opportunity to operate."

"That makes sense..."

Argyle nodded slightly in agreement: "Let's start acting according to this intention. Let's try not to choose the same person and separate them."

Looking at Domi and Argyle, who were full of guesses and conspiracy theories, Edward felt that he was so out of place.

How can intrigue be as interesting as adventure?

"I don't know who to choose. Why don't you, brother and Domi, help me pick one? You know I'm not very good at this kind of thing."

Argyle really started to help Edward with his plan after hearing this, but Domi spoke before him:

"This way... when this news spreads, the princes and princesses will come to us themselves. Then you can support whoever is the most enthusiastic and whoever offers the most benefits."

Edward's eyes lit up: "Since we have to support someone anyway, why not maximize its value and grab some benefits, right?"

"Yeah! That's the truth!"

"Domi you are a genius!"

-

After this incident, Domi and his two resentful brothers stayed at home almost (emphasis added) the entire winter. I don’t know if it was because they had been hanging out outside for too long that they became more homesick.

In this era, there is almost no entertainment activity when staying at home, but since the advent of the furnace card, everything is different.

When Argyle was not studying the policies of the Central Plains countries, when Domi got bored of reading, he would play a passionate and exciting game of fireplace cards with Edward, who always sat by the fireplace and did nothing!

During the period, they also went to Greenville next door to visit Ai Wei's home, gave her a gift, chatted with her, and met her sister Irene.

Like Ai Wei, Irene inherited the beauty of her parents and is equally stunningly beautiful. She is five years older than Ai Wei, has already graduated, and has now returned home to learn from Mitchell how to manage the family.

Time passed quickly after I brought it back from Greenville, and before I knew it, the whole continent had welcomed its 'Christmas'.

In this world, it is called - 'Divine Granting Day', a traditional festival passed down from the Glorious Sect. According to legend, on this day, the God of Gloriousness was born, and the Glorious Sect also came into being.

The calendar was also written at that moment, with the Day of Divine Choice as the last day of each year, implying that after the birth of the God of Glory, all things will usher in a new beginning, a new year.

It is similar to Christmas in previous lives.

In short, on this day, both wanderers and people working abroad will return to their hometowns to reunite with their relatives.

Even robbers on the road will sometimes take less property because of the festival. It's the New Year and we all have to survive.

Domi has also spent more than ten Divine Days at the Blofeld family's house. Basically, the family would sit together around the big fireplace in the living room to keep vigil, chat, and do some entertainment activities.

Chef Michelson will prepare a big pie before leaving, and you can just heat it up and eat it.

On this day, almost all the maids and servants went back to their hometowns. The huge castle on the top of the mountain was very deserted. It would be really lonely if I didn't sit around the fireplace with everyone.

Carlos and Grace sat on the sofa together by the warm fireplace that occasionally emitted sparks, while Edward and Argyle simply sat on the soft white carpet. Without turning on the lights, all they could see was the pure light of the fire.

A map of the main continent was spread out between the four people, and Edward was telling everyone about his adventures.

Novel stories always touch people's hearts, and they make people forget the passage of time while listening to them.

At this moment, Domi was walking on the historic cobblestone road and glanced at the clock tower not far away. It was already 11:59 in the evening, and there was only one minute left before the New Year.

When the ancient bells ring and the new year arrives, the 310 million villain points awarded annually by the Chronicle will be credited to your account.

It is indeed a delightful thing to receive a huge sum of money, and the system’s limited-time prize pool is about to be refreshed, so I have just enough money to draw.

I am quite happy, but not completely happy.

Because he knew that today was not only the Divine Day for the entire continent, but also Xia’s fourteenth birthday.

Being born on the Day of Divine Providence may be a blessing for a normal family, but it is not the case for a royal child.

The royal family doesn't care about reunions on the Day of Divine Choice, and they can get away with it with any excuse.

Xia didn't want to go back to the palace or see her brothers and sisters. In that place full of intrigue, it would be hard to even breathe.

Similarly, those people in the palace don't like Xia, the youngest princess of almost no value. They have to put on a hypocritical show to save face. If it's not necessary, who would be willing to waste their breath on it?

As a result, Xia stayed in the college, in her dormitory room, on her birthday.

Her only good friend had celebrated her birthday with her before and returned to her dormitory before curfew.

She was the only one left in the small room on this day of family joy and reunion.

There was no light on in the room, only the windows were open, letting the bleak moonlight and a few snowflakes sprinkle in. Although it was cold, was it as cold as her heart...

At this moment, she saw a letter placed in the most conspicuous position on the desk. It was written by Domi. The envelope was bulging and seemed to have something else stuffed in it.

Today is her birthday, and she knows that it will end up like this, but Domi's letter made her feel a little warm, so she wants to save this warmth and open it when the night is darkest and her heart is coldest.

Sitting on a chair, I picked up the slightly stagnant envelope, carefully opened it, and looked inside...

Inside the dark yellow envelope was a piece of letter paper, a few photos, and a flat, exquisite little gift box.

She didn't look at the letter first but at the photo and gift box, trying to guess what would be written on the letter and see if she could guess Domi's thoughts.

There were several photos recording the scenery taken by Domi, Edward and Argyle outside. Touer, Forty-Seven and Afu were also in one of the photos.

Xia looked at the pictures one by one, especially the pictures of Duomi, and looked at them very carefully, afraid of missing any details. Then she smiled, as if the smile in the picture could infect her:

"That's great. I haven't been to the North or the Theocracy yet..."

He put the photos aside and then picked up the exquisite little gift box.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the birthday gift Domi gave to himself. It is impossible to say that he is not looking forward to it.

With excitement and anticipation, Xia slowly opened the gift box.

As the comfortable damping touch gradually disappeared, the lid of the gift box opened, and a crystal bracelet with unique charm reflected the moonlight on her surprised pupils.

With her solid knowledge of ancient times, Xia knew at a glance that this bracelet had a great origin and was not a creation of the modern era at all.

After all, it was a gift from Iris, so how could it not be special?

"I guess... the letter should be wishing me a happy birthday. It must be a pity that you can't come. It doesn't matter. I'm already very happy to receive these."

Finally, she smiled and gently opened the folded letter.

The letter paper was not big, and there were only a few words written on it. Duomi was not good at writing long essays.

"I wanted to tell you and share with you everything that happened this year, but in the end I still couldn't put it down, so I decided..."

The words written in black ink suddenly stopped here, with no further text.

Xia frowned and glanced at the back of the letter, but there was nothing there. She even dipped it in a universal revealing potion, but still no hidden words appeared.

She bit her lips lightly with her teeth, her eyes full of confusion: "What exactly did you decide?"

At this moment, outside the dormitory room on the four-story building, there was a sudden sound of tiles on the roof.

As soon as I raised my head, a black shadow fell quickly outside the window.

She immediately stood up, stuck her head out of the window and looked down, trying to see what had fallen. If it was her neighbor's clothes, it would be a real headache for him.

Before she could see the ground, a face that she had been haunting in her dreams suddenly emerged from her dreams and became reality.

At that moment, the boy grabbed the windowsill, doing pull-ups while looking up, and the girl leaned on the windowsill, letting her rosy hair cascade down like a filter in a fairy tale.

The two looked at each other, and the moonlight served as a backdrop.

Domi smiled and said, "Continuing from what happened above, I decided to come and see you directly! I'll spend your birthday and God's Day with you and then... I'll tell you in person what I want to tell you."

At that moment, Xia felt the surprise and warmth she had never experienced in her life, and tears as big as beans flowed from the corners of her eyes.

She thought Domi would give her a ray of spring breeze, but unexpectedly he gave her the entire spring.

She tilted her head slightly, gave the most gentle smile to the person she wanted to give the most, and scolded with a smile:

"Really? You could have just said it in the letter."

Then Domi climbed into her room with ease, and the two sat on the edge of the bed and chatted until dawn the next day. It seemed that they had endless topics to talk about.

Before she was about to collapse from sheer sleepiness, Xia expressed her birthday wish for this year:

"Domi, I want you to put it on for me..."

Before she could get a reply, she laid on Domi's lap and fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at her sleeping face, Domi smiled bitterly, but still obediently put the crystal bracelet on her left wrist, which was as white as a lotus root.

And on the middle finger of the same hand, Xia was wearing the Dark Moon Ring he gave her, just as he was also wearing the 'Eternal Guardian' Xia gave him.

Both of them abide by the original agreement.

It was almost dawn, and Domi, an "off-campus person" who had only been temporarily approved, had to leave before a specific deadline.

He carried Xia into the bed, carefully covered her with the quilt, and finally leaned over, lifted a few strands of hair, and gently touched Xia's white forehead.

"Goodnight, my princess."

Because she stayed up too late, Xia slept until almost noon when she suddenly woke up.

His hair was messy and a few strands were stuck to the corners of his mouth due to saliva, making him look both disheveled and cute.

She looked around, but didn't see Domi anymore, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

However, when she saw the crystal bracelet on her wrist, the loss she had just felt disappeared instantly, leaving only a heart full of happiness.

When I looked at the closed window again, the winter sun was shining brightly outside, casting golden light on the pure wooden floor, and occasionally a bird sang a melodious song on the branch.

She felt that her life was not so terrible.

At this moment, in the north of the academy, there is a special area called the workshop area, one of the many workshops.

Domi was inside drinking a little wine with a scruffy but artistic adult man.

His name is Leonardo da Vinci, a talented magician who lives in the workshop area and is a professional who specializes in tinkering with magic props.

"From the looks of you, the plan seems to be going well."

In fact, Duomi was so happy that his face was filled with happiness. Even his words were brisk:

"Yeah~"

"Tsk tsk tsk... You're so young and yet you're being so romantic, are you risking your life?"

"Don't mind your own business. How's my Darkmoon Slime Amulet?"
