Chapter 25: Xiaolang's Hoof(3/3)
Doyle and Glover both turned to Thales.
Jinni also turned her head suddenly and looked at the prince with murderous eyes.
Just like the training ground six years ago.
But Thales still smiled, unchanged.
The excruciating seconds finally passed.
Jinni snorted, seemingly disdainful:
"You are soft-hearted, mother-in-law, and you are dragging your feet."
"That's why you don't get dignity and respect."
Thales smiled and nodded.
"I know."
The prince shrugged and looked at Jinnie helplessly:
"It's just...that's not my style."
Jinni's knife-like eyes gave Doyle and Glover a look, making them stand up straighter.
"Dinner is in an hour. Madam, do you want to stay for dinner?"
Before Jinni could say anything else, Thales spoke hastily.
This made Jinnie snort in dissatisfaction.
"no."
The female officer said coldly, gave the tense three people one last glance, turned and left without hesitation.
As the sound of high-heeled boots gradually became quieter and Jinni's figure disappeared around the corner, Thales and the other two slowly let out a breath.
"Ms. Ji Ni has a straightforward personality, don't worry about it."
Thales said apologetically.
Glover remained silent, while Doyle forced a smile with shame:
"Your Highness, I..."
But Thales spoke up in advance, with a curious tone:
"So, Ms. Jinni, does she really have the power to go beyond Marius and Adrian and expel you?"
Doyle rolled his eyes:
"Um, I'm not very..."
But Glover spoke this time:
"If she can publicly and formally bring it to His Majesty and the Royal Council, and the reasons are established... yes."
Thales showed an expression like this.
He then took a breath and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"But first, you are my guards, aren't you?"
Doyle glanced around the corner, and the shadow had not yet been removed. He said cautiously:
"Yes?"
Thales smiled:
"Then she can't."
Doyle blinked and Glover's expression changed.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Grover said solemnly.
Thales smiled, flashed his thumbs at them, turned around and returned to his room without saying anything.
"Well, Your Highness," Doyle spoke hurriedly from behind, with some hope:
"Also...is there anything else I can do for you?"
Thales stopped.
"Oh, it's about time," the young man suddenly realized. He turned back and smiled at the two of them: "As usual, I have to go back to the study to read."
“But it would be nice if there were some accompanying teas.”
Doyle inhaled sharply.
"I'll do it immediately, Your Highness," for the first time, D.D nodded sincerely:
"immediately."
Thales nodded encouragingly and walked into the study.
At the corner of the corridor, Jinni continued to push her boots forward steadily.
But at this time, the palace lady had a smile on her lips.
This kid.
What a waste.
The refreshments in the study haven't been finished yet, have they?
Thus, Thales's first etiquette lesson passed like this.
But from then on, Doyle and Glover showed much more respect for him.
Until one day the next week, Doyle cautiously came to the study and reported to Thiels:
The two priests carefully selected by the Sunset Temple have arrived at the Mindis Hall.
What is waiting for His Highness the Duke to teach them, as the ruling tradition from the empire to the stars, every star king must be familiar with...
