Chapter 36 Times have changed(3/4)
But Duke Xinghu interrupted him.
"I remember that your father is a cautious man, thinks twice about everything, and never makes a bet easily," the prince said calmly:
"Is he okay with you coming to Xingchen to see me at this time?"
Levi paused for a moment, but looked at the prince intriguingly.
"As a son," Levi stared at him with a meaningful smile: "If you are always controlled by your father in everything..."
"You'll never be an adult, right?"
Thales was silent for a while.
He suddenly remembered the son of another grand duke, the Viscount of Fengcheng from Qiyuan City, "Nasty" Ian Ronny.
"Thank you for your candor. I will inform Grand Duke Trudida of this." Thales said calmly.
"You can't ask for it," Levi did not panic, but smiled slyly:
"Then he will know that not every son is qualified to be mentioned by the famous 'North Star' who changed Exeter's destiny."
Hearing this title, Thales frowned.
"You...all the people in the North call me that?"
"Of course there are others, but this one sounds the best..."
Levi looked at Thales cautiously and grinned:
"Or would you rather be called 'the Grand Duchess' little star'?"
Thales' face darkened.
The surrounding guards looked at each other with strange expressions again.
Thales sighed.
Polaris.
This nickname...
Sunset, is it because a prince who came back from Exeter doesn’t have enough trouble in the Kingdom of Stars?
Northerners, thank you very much.
Just when Levi was about to leave, Thales suddenly spoke:
"So, King Charman has no problem with you coming to my banquet?"
Hearing that name, Levi's expression changed.
He was silent for a few seconds.
"Duke, today is your happy day..."
Little Trudida looked around and said softly:
"We won't talk about bad things."
Thales bid him farewell politely, and Levi, who was satisfied, turned back and left under the "escort" of Zonevid and Piloga.
But as soon as the prince turned around, his expression turned cold.
"Glover," Thales said gloomily:
"Go find where Gilbert is and bring him to see me."
Glover frowned slightly.
Doyle next to him was startled:
"Now? But Your Highness, it is reported that the Guardian Duke of the East China Sea, Prime Minister Cullen, will be arriving soon and needs you..."
However, Thales suddenly shouted:
"Fuck the Prime Minister."
Duke Xinghu spoke in a cold voice, word by word, which was disturbing:
"Now, immediately, immediately..."
Thales glared coldly:
"Get me Gilbert Castle."
The two of them, who were used to the prince's gentle personality, were both surprised.
Glover didn't say anything more, and immediately turned around and left, leaving only an uneasy Doyle beside Thales, looking at him worriedly from time to time.
Gilbert soon appeared in front of him, his face full of confusion.
But Thales rejected Doyle and Glover and said bluntly:
"What happened to Exeter?"
Gilbert was suddenly startled:
"What happened? Everything should be normal... After eradicating dissidents, Charmaine I has been busy appeasing the internal affairs..."
But Thales interrupted him impatiently:
"Gilbert!"
"Just now, two Northlanders stopped me rudely. One of them even called me 'King of the Stars' in front of everyone."
Gilbert's expression changed.
Thales took a step forward with sharp eyes:
"Do you understand it?"
Gilbert and the prince looked at each other for a second and sighed slightly:
"You know, today is your big day. After today, you will officially enter the social circle of Yongxing City and step onto the stage of the kingdom. If anything happens, it won't be as good as..."
But Thales just stared at him:
"Gilbert, it was you who brought me to Mindis Hall six years ago."
"So I believe you."
"More so than anyone else."
Looking at the prince's expression, Gilbert hesitated to speak, his expression complicated.
After a few seconds, Count Casso sighed slowly.
"A few days ago, a battle report came from Exeter."
Thales looked tense.
really.
I saw Gilbert sweep away the joy and relaxation of the banquet day, look serious, and enter a thorough working state:
"Long Xiao, praying far away, guarding, and joining forces in the three cities, nearly 20,000 Northland warriors marched westward to the border with great momentum. The Freedom Alliance retreated steadily, and the entire Golden Corridor trembled."
"Not long ago, the Exeters finally laid siege to the city and laid siege to Fort Liberty."
Thales nodded.
As one of the participants in the incident, he clearly remembers the internal and external causes of the war, the forces involved, and the dramatic twists and turns.
"I know that Exeter wants to reaffirm their hegemony and status on the Golden Corridor..."
The small Freedom Alliance affects the political situation of the Western Continent - whether it is the Sixteen Cities of Camus, the White Elves of the White Mountains or other countries on the Golden Corridor, since they rashly intervened twenty years ago without overestimating their capabilities, the results have been
But King Nuen was so heavy-handed that he slapped him so hard that his front teeth fell off and his muscles and bones were broken...
Faced with this crisis and the three northern cities joining forces again, all the forces would rather stay on the sidelines and do nothing. No one dares to touch the dragon's reverse scale.
Including the Star Kingdom, which took the opportunity to trick the Freedom Alliance.
But Thales realized something.
"The look on your face, Gilbert."
"what happens?"
The Foreign Secretary looked at Thales's reaction and sighed:
"You know, a few months ago, the Kingdom Secret Service's intelligence point in Exeter just suffered heavy damage and is still rebuilding..."
"The information we received is very messy, and we are still verifying each item one by one. The secret department has been very busy these days..."
Thales simply skips these clichés:
"Then what do you know?"
Gilbert was silent for a while.
Thales stared at him steadily.
"Although it has not been completely confirmed, but generally..."
To be continued...
