The Original Vampire

Looking at the suddenly radiant old king, Prince William did not show any unexpected expressions.

As if it should be so.

The half-elf king swept away his angry appearance before, and his tone became sonorous and powerful, and asked Prince William:

"What do you think about your brother's upcoming marriage to the adopted daughter of the Duke of the North?"

"I'll follow your arrangements." Prince William lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look into his father's eyes.

As the second son, Tupe actually married the adopted daughter of the Duke of the North, which obviously made Prince William, the eldest son, a little uncomfortable.

But Prince William did not dare to express this dissatisfaction.

"I'm asking what you think!" The half-elf king didn't seem to want to let go of his eldest son easily.

"I...I have no idea..."

"Snapped!"

The scepter in the old king's hand quickly swung out and slammed heavily on Prince William's knee.

Prince William screamed, knelt down in front of the king, and shouted, "Father, I really don't dare to have any complaints!"

"Idiot!" The old king roared fiercely, "Do you really think Tupe went to the north to ask for Vera to marry me?"

"me……"

"Say!"

"I have no idea……"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The scepter in the old king's hand was constantly waving, and raindrops generally fell on Prince William's back.

Poor William didn't dare to resist at all, he could only endure it silently, making several screams from time to time, as if he wanted to win his father's sympathy.

After a long time, the old king finally got tired.

I saw him sit back on the bed panting, and scolded with hatred for being iron-clad: "You don't know? You are the prince of a country, the future patriarch of the half-elf family, and you actually told me that you didn't know?

Are you waiting for the enemy to strike in front of you in the future, and the demise of the half-elf clan is imminent, and the courtiers ask you what to do, and you will only say--

Are you out of ideas? You do not know?

No responsibility at all!

No brain at all!

If it weren't for the fact that you are my only bloodline, I would have abandoned you long ago! "

In the face of the old king's rebuke, Prince William shivered on the ground, not daring to move.

But what he didn't know was that such a cowardly attitude would only make his father even more angry.

The old king looked at his son, sighed deeply, and did not speak for a long time.

And Prince William, who was crawling on the ground, waited for a long time without waiting for his father's text, and raised his head cautiously.

Then, he saw his father's indifferent and deep eyes.

It was a look he had never seen before.

For some unknown reason, Prince William suddenly felt an inexplicable panic.

It was as if something important in life had just left him.

But before he could ask the question, the old king spoke again:

"William, tell me, what is the way of life for our Modiwen family?"

"Pinch the chips in your hand!" Prince William replied quickly, as if some poor student had finally found a question on the test paper that he could do.

"Then tell me, this way of survival, what does it mean?"

Prince William hurriedly searched his stomach and answered cautiously after a long while, "That is to say, we must tighten our chips and not bet lightly."

"Why don't you make a bet easily?" the old king continued to ask blankly.

Prince William was dumbfounded, why did you ask for additional questions?

As soon as the phrase "I don't know" reached his throat, Prince William swallowed it immediately.

He felt that if he dared to say that, he would definitely be beaten again.

"I...I think...that is...that is...betting...be careful..." Poor Prince William couldn't make any sense after holding it for a long time.

The light in the old king's eyes dimmed even more.

In desperation, he had to patiently explain: "Two giants fight, you are a thin little dwarf, if you dare to join the battle group beyond your own strength, you will only be shattered!

So, your best option is to just watch the battle.

No matter how intimidating and enticing the giants are, you can't easily end the game until the situation is clear.

You have few chips in your hand, but they are crucial.

As long as you don't bet lightly, it becomes more and more important!

As long as you don't help each other, both sides need to win you over.

You can take advantage of this, and the strategic space for manoeuvre and turnover will be larger.

Understand? "

"Understood." Prince William nodded quickly, not sure if he really understood, or if he just wanted to lie to escape his father's censure.

The old king's expression seemed a little disappointed.

This vernacular of the Modiwen family implies how much blood and tears and how much suffering of the half-elf family!

How many shameless dirty deals have been carried.

pity……

The old king sighed and asked again, "So, now that we are caught between the north and the east, do you know what to do?"

"Got it. As long as they don't decide the winner, then we will never stand in line and never bet!"

"Yeah." The old king finally had a smile on his face, as if he felt that his son was not so stupid as to be hopeless.

"Then, think about it again, is it really my arrangement for Tupe to ask to marry Vera?"

Prince William was smart this time, shaking his head again and again: "No, father, you are so wise, how could you bet on the North at this critical moment."

Seeing the old king nodding slowly, Prince William's confidence increased greatly: "So, this matter is the younger brother's own opinion?"

A hint of anger flashed across the old king's face: "Humph! Of course, that bitch is helping fuel the flames!"

Prince William did not dare to pick up this time.

Because he knew that the "mean woman" in the old king's mouth was referring to the queen.

Although it seemed to outsiders that the half-elf king and queen had a harmonious relationship, William knew very well that from the day the queen married into the royal family, his father had been dissatisfied with her in various ways.

In the matter of adopting Prince Tupe, the two almost turned against each other.

The old king, who paid attention to the inheritance of blood, never regarded Prince Tupe as his son, even if legally speaking, he is indeed the son of the king now.

If it weren't for the consideration of the Miller family from which the queen was born, the king would have abolished her long ago.

Now, the queen seems to want to win over the Duke of the North through Tupe's marriage to Vera.

This kind of disregard for the overall situation obviously angered the old king who wanted to maintain neutrality and play a balance between the east and the north.

"In a few days, an envoy should be sent from the Eastern Border. When that time comes, you can go and receive it."

"Yes."

"Remember, no matter how the people from the east end up coercing and coercing, you don't want to go out and participate in person. Just provide them with some necessary convenience and let them fight against the people from the north."

"I understand."

Having said so much, the old king seemed to be tired, so he waved his hand to signal Prince William to retire.

Prince William saluted and said goodbye immediately, but before he could leave the palace, the king stopped him again: "By the way, what happened to the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce that you asked you to investigate last time?"

"I checked, there is nothing wrong with the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce, and the business tax is paid on time and according to the amount..."

"Idiot!" The old king was angry again, "Am I asking you to investigate their tax evasion?"

Prince William was dumbfounded.

The old king breathed for a while before calming down his anger, and finally waved his hand disheartenedly: "You continue to investigate."

"Yes." Prince William replied timidly.

"How is little Charlie lately?"

Hearing the king asking about his son, a smile appeared on Prince William's face involuntarily: "The little guy is very good, he has recently started to learn swordsmanship, but he is too naughty, and the flowers and plants in the palace have suffered..."

"Send him to me tomorrow and stay with me for a while."

Prince William did not suspect him, and nodded again and again: "Yes, Father."

At this moment, light footsteps sounded outside the palace. Prince William turned his head and saw his father lying down on the bed with agile movements.

Fall asleep in a second.

"William, is Your Majesty asleep?" the Queen came in and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I fell asleep as soon as I got back."

"Well, you can go back too."

"Yes."
