"And you are his prime minister."

"Lord of Jianhuigang City, and the lord of the entire East China Sea Territory."

Duke Cullen was silent for a long time before he replied.

But this time, he no longer had the attitude of making jokes and having nothing to do with himself:

"Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to it."

But the Duke of Donghai changed his eyes:

"But why? Why do you say this?"

for……

Serve the Kingdom?

Thales put away this lame excuse and sighed inwardly.

"To repay you."

In front of Thales's eyes flashed the slender figure who stood up from his seat when the crowd was raging and protected the Prince of the Stars at all costs.

He brought his thoughts back to the present and smiled leisurely at Duke Donghai:

"Thanks to you for waking up and voting for me at the National Assembly, we are where we are today."

"This is my reward."

Duke Cullen pursed his lips.

Suddenly I realized, this is right...

"Be careful, Your Highness."

He still looked at Thales with a smile, patted the latter's shoulder, as if looking at his beloved nephew, and said intentionally or unintentionally:

"The Mindis Hall is not like the Fuxing Palace. The carpets here are very new. Every step you take..."

"It's all very slippery."

Thales was silent for a while.

He thought of the little slipper whose whereabouts were unknown and whose life or death was uncertain.

But the next moment, what appeared in front of his eyes was Mrs. Eleanor, who was leading her foolish son and still stubbornly walked into the Mindis Hall with strange eyes.

Little iron thorn.

"But this is our family tradition, isn't it?"

Thales came back to his senses and said softly:

"Don't say the carpet is just slippery..."

He raised his gaze.

"Even if there are thousands of iron thorns hidden underneath it..."

Thales smiled:

"I also have to keep my expression unchanged..."

"Walking calmly."

As soon as these words came out, Duke Donghai's eyes lit up.

Duke Cullen laughed and raised his hand for the attendant to come forward, but waved his hand and refused Thales's companionship.

"As for their proposal of marriage, Your Highness, please remember that even if it is the north..."

Duke Cullen walked away without caring:

"Female sex is still harmful to the body."

Listening to the other party's other words, Thales' heart sank.

Little slippery head.

He looked at the retreating figure of Duke Cullen, silently lost in thought.

Now……

What I can do for you...

There are only so many.

"Wow, so that northerner is serious when he says he wants to introduce you to the Grand Duke's daughter?"

Doyle came up and put the cloak on Thales.

Thales pulled up his cloak and hummed absentmindedly.

d.d curled his lips:

"Your Highness, you know there is a saying among the Seven Shining Stars: Never marry a woman from the North."

Thales walked back slowly and said doubtfully:

"What's wrong?"

Doyle shrugged:

"It is said that this is how the 'Mustang' Barney family fell: Back then, the youngest son of the old lady Xiao Tieqi stubbornly wanted to marry a Northland woman. Xiao Tieqi firmly opposed it but to no avail. In the end, they removed him from the family tree

He was kicked out of the house, but the curse brought by this woman still affects the family - look at Barney now."

Stubbornly wanting to marry a Northland woman...

The family has been implicated...

Look at Barney now...

Thales felt heartbroken for a while and said displeasedly:

"Why don't you look at yourselves?"

Perhaps the prince's tone was too harsh, and Doyle was startled.

Glover took a step forward calmly, squeezing Doyle behind him who was trying to amuse the prince with a joke, but was disappointed.

Is it possible...

Doyle walked behind gloomily.

His Highness has stayed in the Northland for six years, and he really fell in love with someone...

Northland woman?

Oh my god, what about the mission assigned by dad?

You know, as a miser and miser, his father promised him a lot of pocket money this time!

At this moment, a low commotion came from outside the hall door, attracting everyone's attention.

Thales turned around and looked around, horrified.

A lonely man, with no loyal attendants to follow and only vigilant guards to accompany him, slowly walked into the hall door.

Although he was dressed in fine clothes, he looked very impressive.

But he was alone, with a deep feeling of twilight.

Along with the man came the rustling sound of metal.

It is out of place in the elegant and luxurious Mindis Hall and is particularly jarring.

People who didn't know what was going on were talking a lot, and the nobles who knew something about it were silent, but they all subconsciously made way for the new guests.

Mallos received the reward and hurried from the inner hall, just in time to see this special guest.

The watchman frowned and looked at the guest who was slowly approaching, focusing on the other person's hands.

There, there is a pair of dark-colored clothes locked with a chain that mops the floor...

shackles.

The guest raised his head, revealing a thin, weathered face and a beard that stretched down to his chest.

He looked dreamily at the brightly lit and bustling Mindis Hall in front of him.

Mallos stepped forward quickly and signaled the guards to take him through the door quickly to avoid countless curious eyes. At the same time, he held down the execution officer, Gray Patterson, who was leading the guests in.

"Gray, what's going on..."

"He refused." Patterson answered quickly, with an angry and helpless look on his face:

"No matter what we say, it's no use. He insists on attending the dinner in shackles."

The punishment officer said harshly:

"And that beard too..."

Mallos looked at the absent-minded guest and the troublesome shackles with a solemn expression:
To be continued...
