Law of the Devil

His Majesty the Pope left, the music stopped immediately, and all the guests on the dance floor stopped dancing, retreated to the two sides, and sent the Pope away respectfully.

"Hmph, magic stick." Just after the Pope walked out of the hall, a soft and immature voice suddenly came.

Du Wei was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, because it was not someone else who said this, but the little prince Charlie who had performed outstandingly just now!

Du Wei was about to say something, but at this moment, Prince Chen had already stood up, raised his hands, and soon the hall fell silent.

Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, His Majesty the old emperor Augustine VI also retired and went back to rest. Prince Chen winked at Du Wei, and then the two of them left behind Groom.

"How did you get so angry while you were hiding?" Walking out of the hall and passing through a corridor behind the palace, only his confidantes followed, Prince Chen suddenly asked Du Wei: "This is not like your character." Ah, Du Wei. I remember your endurance has always been very good."

Du Wei smiled slightly: "If I don't get angry, I'll make the scene a bit more rigid...God knows how long His Majesty the Pope will sit here and chat! So I just deliberately took this opportunity to get angry, and he would be embarrassed not to leave gone."

As he spoke, he glanced at Groom, the tailor in front of him, and was about to say something.

Prince Chen suddenly spoke, and asked the two court magicians beside him to send "His Majesty the Emperor" back to the palace to rest, and then asked Du Wei and the two little guys to go to the study with him!

Du Wei's heart sank. Can't help but glance at Groom. And this tailor. Also looking at Du Wei. There was a trace of despair in Groom's eyes. He smiled miserably.

Suddenly, Du Wei's heart moved and he stopped in his tracks. Looking at Prince Chen: "Your Highness, can I go back with His Majesty first... I have some things to deal with."

"Oh?" Prince Chen frowned.

Du Wei looked relaxed. He smiled lightly and said, "Have you forgotten the potion I used for His Majesty when His Majesty was unwell a few days ago? I said that at the time. Once the effect of the medicine is over, it will lose its effect. I need to... "

Prince Chen frowned and thought about it. Then he glanced at his court magician: "Well, you take the father back first. Then... wait a little later. Duke Tulip will go over to give the father medicine."

Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this was Prince Chen's hint that the two subordinates were not in a hurry to kill Groom to silence them. He glanced at Groom. Sighed. The meaning of that look is obvious: just a little while longer!

In the regent's study. Prince Chen is obviously in a good mood. He really praised his son a few words. Little Prince Charlie's performance tonight was amazing. At a young age, when facing the Pope. That courage and calm demeanor. It made Prince Chen very proud.

But in the face of his father's praise. Little Charlie suddenly blushed. hesitated for a moment. Then look up. Finally, he spoke the truth that surprised the adults:

"Father. Actually...the words I refuted. It's not what I thought."

"Didn't you think it yourself?" Prince Chen was startled.

"Well. It's not what I thought." Little Charlie turned his head and held his sister's hand. He said sincerely: "The two of us were sitting there at that time. I saw some debates between you and the Pope. Then, my sister suddenly said something in my ear. Then she encouraged me. Let me stand up and say it bravely. I was a little worried at first. But she told me, if I do this, you will definitely not punish me, but reward me instead."

This time. Both Prince Chen and Du Wei were stunned. Looking at the young Princess Karina, this little girl who is only eight years old. Du Wei couldn't help but whispered: "Karina...Your Highness. Those words are all your thoughts?!"

now. The eight-year-old girl blushed shyly. After a while, he replied in a soft voice: "I... I just expressed some thoughts. However, my brother said my thoughts very well. If I were to say it myself, I would not be able to say it. so good."

Prince Chen's face became serious. He stretched out his arms and gently hugged his little daughter. Seriously said: "Karina! Tell me. How did you think of these things?"

Unlike Prince Charles. Although Karina is a princess, she receives an education on weekdays. And Charlie is completely different!

Prince Charles in the palace. Already had his own enlightenment teacher. They are all very knowledgeable scholars. His courses also include some historical content. Charlie is smart. So tonight his performance was wonderful. But in Prince Chen's opinion. It's also reasonable. After all, he has a large number of excellent teachers who teach him every day. Prince Chen also only thinks that his son is a young genius, and he only thought of so many "mature" truths under the influence of his teachers.

But Karina is different! Although she is a child of the royal family. But he did not receive an orthodox education like the prince! At the age of eight, she spent most of her time studying traditional aristocratic girls' education. Like art. flower arrangement. draw and wait...

"Tell me. Those principles. How did you come up with it yourself? Or was someone taught you?" Prince Chen asked very seriously, and then suddenly said: "Could it be Lanlan, the court etiquette lady who is responsible for taking care of your daily life?" Miss?"

"No, not Miss Lanlan." Karina was a little nervous. After a while, he slowly whispered: "I read it from a book... um. There are many books in my brother's study. I usually go to look through them. There are some... I... are ..."

She suddenly glanced at Du Wei: "I read it from the book Teacher Du Wei gave me as an enlightenment gift, the General History of the Mainland. There are some notes of the teacher himself in that book. I think it is very interesting. So I just wrote it down. There are some... I just came up with it myself."

Prince Chen was stunned! !

genius?

Is my daughter a real genius? !

self-taught? !

Originally thought that his son was very good, now it seems. This little daughter is better than her son? !

Looking at Prince Chen

It looks like Karina is a little scared. He whispered timidly: "Father, did you do something wrong?"

"Ah... no! You did a great job!" Prince Chen suddenly became a little excited. He hugged the little girl tightly. Let her sit on his arm. He kissed Karina hard on the cheek. He smiled happily: "Okay. My baby. You are right. I will not punish you, but reward you! Tell me. What do you think. You performed so well tonight. Hope to get some reward Woolen cloth?".

He looked at his son and daughter with satisfaction, and pondered for a moment: "Ah, Charlie. You like riding horses. I'll give you a high-bred prairie horse. As for Karina..."

"No, father!" Karina suddenly grabbed her father's embrace and jumped to the ground. Then he pulled Charlie back a few steps together. Seeing that Charlie was still a little dazed. Karina squeezed Charlie's hand hard, and the little prince finally came to his senses. Immediately shouted: "Father, we don't want other rewards! There is only one request. That is...Since Grand Duke Tulip has agreed to be our teacher, but he has been in the northwest all year round. We cannot get the teacher's teaching. Now the Grand Duke has returned Imperial Capital. We would like to ask the teacher to spare some time to teach us in the palace if time permits!"

Prince Chen smiled slightly. He glanced at Du Wei.

this kind of thing. Du Wei didn't mean to refuse either. smiled. So I agreed: "It's absolutely possible, Your Highness! It's very embarrassing to say it. The two young highnesses call me teacher. But I have never been able to teach the two highnesses...Anyway, I will stay in the imperial capital for a while this time. During this period of time, I will run more in the palace."

Looking at the happy faces of the two children - that little Charlie's happy face is still reserved. But little Karina, flushed with joy. Bright eyes stared at Du Wei. Looks very excited.

"However..." Du Wei suddenly smiled, and said in a low voice: "What I want to remind the two Highnesses is. In the future. The name of the magic stick. In public. Don't say it again! Otherwise, you will be caught. Someone with a heart spread the word. It’s not a good thing.”

How smart Du Wei is, he knows. In my notes on the general history of the mainland, there are some disdainful remarks against the church. I am afraid that the name "magic stick" must be because the child read my notes! Otherwise, the teacher in the palace. Who dares to teach the two little highnesses such things?

After the two children happily agreed. Only then did Prince Chen let them retreat.

Du Wei and Prince Chen were left in the study. The smile on Prince Chen's face faded away. He showed a bit of seriousness: "Du Wei, to be honest, why did you suddenly decide to participate in this competition? To be honest, I don't agree with it in my heart! After all, you are the Duke of the Empire! The dignified Duke, and those in the field What a samurai looks like when he goes to a duel! Besides... the sword has no eyes. You are now an important minister of the empire. In case you get hurt..."

Du Wei smiled, and said the worries in his heart. Prince Chen frowned slightly, but he didn't care. He said lightly: "A knight association. The reason why we did this is only for... the throne! Huh, since the church wants to play tricks, let them do it. Why do you take this risk for a collapsed knight association? risk?"

He suddenly glanced at Du Wei again: "You... don't you really want to revitalize the Knights Association?"

To be honest, when Du Wei put forward that proposal, he just came up with an idea, using this matter as an introduction, to find a way to solve the problem of the throne (this will be explained later).

At the beginning, Du Wei didn't really want to revitalize the Knights Association, which had nothing to do with him.

But after he got to know Deron, his mind came alive. In other words, he was moved by Deron. So... One thing is also done, and two things are also done. Then it would be a good thing to take advantage of this opportunity to really help the Knights Association.

It's just that I didn't expect that the temple actually misunderstood my intention.

But that's fine too...

In this case, it seems that the temple does not seem to know the news that the old emperor has passed away! Their eyes are only fixed on the Knights Association!

Du Wei just smiled and said: "Your Highness, I just thought about it later. It may not be a good thing to support the Knights Association. Although there may not be too many obvious benefits in the short term, but in the long run Come on, it is also a good investment! And...the temple suddenly intervened, if we retreat at this time, wouldn't it make the temple think that we are afraid of them!"

The last sentence moved Prince Chen. He nodded and glanced at Du Wei: "Then be careful yourself, and don't force yourself if you are in danger. Du Wei, I hope you understand that to me, you are more important than a knight association Much more!"

Du Wei was also a little moved, but this feeling was only a momentary thing. He immediately realized that these were the words of Prince Chen, who is a monarch, to win people's hearts.

"Okay, you go... that Groom matter will be dealt with tonight! Don't leave any trouble." Prince Chen waved his hand, indicating that Du Wei can leave.

Du Wei sighed, just as he walked to the door, Prince Chen suddenly called Du Wei again.

"Is there anything else? Your Highness." Du Wei turned around.

There seemed to be something playful in Prince Chen's eyes, and he glanced at Du Wei with a half-smile, then his tone suddenly became a little weird, and he said two words that made Du Wei sweat all over his body!

"Du Wei... I haven't asked you these days since you came back, because I was afraid that you would be embarrassed. But, it's been a few days, and I think your anger has disappeared... Well, my one The future princess, and my sister Louise, have lived in the Northwest for a long time. I also miss Louise. You... hurry up and send them back."
