"Ji Ming...this is not part of the plan."
Qiao Zhiyuan, who was standing next to a tank in the audience, patted Ji Ming's shoulder, because the huge cheers forced him to speak louder.
"It is true that there is no such plan, but since the boss has spoken, you should go and prepare carefully. Security and order are a big problem for a whole city's banquet."
Ji Ming shook his head helplessly. He had to prepare the ingredients and manpower, and maybe there would be fireworks or performances. Banquets of this size had not happened many times even on earth, and There must be certain etiquette standards for entertaining these two princes. However, even though it was a workload that made his scalp numb just thinking about it, his eyes looking at Shen Fu were full of smiles.
Being able to think of a way to appease the people in such a sudden situation means that he has grown to the point where he can be trusted.
The king's election was over at this stage. The people and some ministers of the Wise Men's Association who came to participate also went back. However, the remaining king's electors who had already failed did not leave like this, nor did they show any angry or disappointed look. Even though Even the proud Priscilla kept a smile on her face, as if she didn't care about the result.
"Everything in this world will be for me, so the final result will definitely be beneficial to me, but as you said before, I can't be sure what kind of result will be beneficial to me. But judging from the current situation, it seems that not becoming a king is in my interest."
This was at the luncheon after the king's election. Priscilla stood in front of Shen Fu waving a bright red folding fan. "It's good for me" actually appeared three times in one sentence. This kind of words and deeds overlooking the world from a height, Sure enough, I still don't like this woman.
"This is really an optimistic attitude. I hope your optimism can last a lifetime. By the way, I heard that you were the one who issued the reward for the Blood Fiber Flower in the Royal Capital?"
Shen Fu looked at the knight Al standing behind her. The left hand of this time traveler was empty. There was no doubt that the reward posted by Priscilla was for her knight.
"Although it is for a stupid servant, after all, Al is a buffoon different from those more despicable people. If His Highness Shen Fu has information about the blood fiber flower, I can double the price."
Priscilla's eyes lit up slightly. Naturally, the other party would not mention this for no reason. Then there was only one possibility, and that was that with this extremely rare medicinal material information, the world really revolved around me.
"Money is the least valuable thing to me. Your name is Al, right? Although we may not come from the same place... But do you have any desire to return to that society?"
He waved to Emilia, who seemed to be alone in the distance, and motioned for her to come to him, and then looked at Al. To be honest, the origins of Al and Natsuki Subaru are still unexplainable to this day. , Natsuki Subaru has actually asked some things after being there for so long. Although the world he came from is roughly the same as the real world, many details are inconsistent. So, as the only time traveler, Al, His confession is also of high value.
"...If it was eighteen years ago, maybe I would choose to go back without hesitation. Even if it is not the previous world, that society is countless times better than this other world. But since I am desperate and... I'm lucky to be alive now, and I don't want to go back like this no matter what... I really envy you, His Highness Shen Fu, for being able to come with your reliable motherland, and you are still surrounded by beauty now. It was the same when I just came here. I was fantasizing about it, but before I could figure out the situation, I lost an important arm.”
Al tilted his head and played with the gap in the helmet with his left shoulder. Although he said envious words, there was not much envy in his tone. The cruel road he had traveled with all his life in the past eighteen years had made him put aside that unrealistic envy long ago. The back of my head.
"If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. Besides, there is indeed hope for your arm to recover."
Shen Fu shook his head slightly to break up the sudden dull atmosphere, turned around and left with Emilia. His last words were actually to Priscilla. This was a good idea to be able to communicate with this person. Although Shen Fu didn't like her personally, he had to admit that the "protection of the sun" had certain value in various senses.
"Your Highness Mickey and Your Highness Harrison, it seems that you are quite satisfied with our Chinese food? But the dinner is the time to really enjoy it, so you two don't have to be too anxious."
After leaving Priscilla, Shen Fu took Emilia and the two "guards" to where Mickey and Harrison were. An interesting scene was happening here. The girl named Grace Sitting between the two of them, the plate in front of her was already piled with food, and the two of them were still adding more to her as if they were competing, and there was no trace of royal demeanor at all.
"Your Highness Shen Fu, what I saw and heard today is indeed an eye-opener for me. I really hope that one day I can see China with my own eyes. I don't know how prosperous and powerful it will be."
Mickey stood up from his seat, holding the wine glass, his eyes full of yearning, and it could be seen that what he said was not flattery, but what he really thought in his heart.
"There will be this opportunity... Your Highness Harrison, you will ask you to come in person, which is indeed beyond my expectation. As far as I know, your country seems to have just gone through a difficult winter?"
After gently clinking glasses with Mickey, Shen Fu looked at Harrison, who was also standing up. The powerful and handsome prince had a slight embarrassment on his face at this time. He didn't take it to heart at first. The reason why he came here was just because he heard that Mickey would be coming, but what happened was completely beyond his expectation.
"Indeed, our country's environment is harsh, the food crops are not high, and there are few merchants. Even if you can catch prey, you can't find a place to exchange for enough food. Your Highness Shen Fu, China has a powerful army and warriors, and is extremely wealthy. Food, if possible, I also hope that your country can send a caravan to our country to exchange goods, which is also one of the purposes of my visit this time."
When Harrison said this, he felt a little guilty. In fact, he was not wrong. It was just that the person originally sent was not him, the first prince, but a minister.
