King Rhodes IV's physical condition is indeed different from a few years ago. But Mavi never considered that King Rhodes IV would suddenly die one day.
And with the realm of immortality, it would not be that simple for King Rhodes IV to die. As long as he maintained the realm, he could at least breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, I don't think you should consider His Majesty's physical problems now." In the room, Ma Wei made suggestions to the second prince: "You have the support of Archbishop Brandon and you are the leader of the Liberal Party in Congress, so your influence is not ordinary. , there’s no need to rush it.”
"But I made a big mistake this time!" The second prince sighed melancholy: "My father is very disappointed in me. Although the Pope didn't say anything, he must also blame me in his heart..."
"Your Highness, you did make a mistake this time. This is an undisputed fact. It is reasonable for the king and the pope to blame you, but..."
"But what?" Ma Wei smiled slightly: "The eldest prince also made the same mistake as you, didn't he?"
"He did not cause serious consequences! My mistake, which caused two nobles to die on the spot, was much more serious than his!"
"No." Ma Wei shook his head and said, "The mistakes committed by the eldest prince are more serious than yours, Your Highness." The second prince was stunned, not understanding what Ma Wei was talking about.
No matter how you look at it, he who caused the death of two nobles was more wrong than the eldest prince! Seeing that he didn't understand, Ma Wei simply said it clearly: "Your Highness, where do you think Felix and Jonas went?"
"I don't know." The second prince then realized that Lai Wen and Daniel were not there. After being scolded by Rhodes IV, he had been in a state of confusion. How could he pay attention to other people?
"This afternoon, I had someone urgently deliver 100 pounds of sleepy toast to Kensington Palace. Jonas took 50 pounds of the sleepy toast to his classmates and distributed it to them, while Felix took the rest. 50 pounds of toast went to Clarence House and asked the prince to help with publicity..."
"Let Charles do the publicity?" The second prince, who didn't know Ma Wei's previous move, was confused: "Can he agree?"
"He will agree." Ma Wei said calmly: "Because before that, I secretly revealed the news about Manstein Potion Company and the church signing a large order to the eldest prince. The eldest prince will definitely seize the opportunity. , let Helena ask Felix about the order." The second prince nodded, and somewhat came to his senses: "Could it be Nicholas..."
"Yes, Your Highness, of these 100 pounds of sleeping toast, 10 pounds belong to Archbishop Brandon. I led him to Clarence House on the grounds of a scheduling problem and told Felix to let him arrive at the appropriate time." At the right time, he revealed the news that the eldest prince knew about the order to Archbishop Brandon." Picking up the tea cup on the table, Ma Wei gently blew away the heat, took a sip and said, "The Pope is not looking for anyone in the church. Is he a traitor? If he finds out about this, the eldest prince...hehe."
"Awesome!" The second prince slapped his thigh and stood up excitedly, looking at Ma Wei with flushed cheeks: "Nicholas! What you did is so beautiful! Once the plan is successful, Charles will be watched by the Pope. Come on, this is our chance!"
"That's why I said, Your Highness, there is no need to be so anxious. Someone has made a more serious mistake than you."
"It was you who helped me!" the second prince said extremely excitedly: "Now Charles is in big trouble!" The second prince saw hope again. Although he did not praise Ma Wei severely, Ma Wei gradually softened and kindly spoke his tone. With the uncontrollable smile on his face, he was convinced that his relationship with the second prince was getting closer.
"I don't know how to thank you, Nicholas." After calming down for a while, the second prince said sincerely: "What do you want?"
"Your Highness, what do you think I need?"
"I don't know." The second prince shook his head slowly: "You have helped me so much. I must thank you. If you have any requests, just say it."
"Your Highness, helping you is helping myself and the Manstein Potion Company." Ma Wei did not ask for anything in return. It should be said that he would not ask for credit at this moment: "I don't need any reward. Before we cooperated, I promised to help you, Your Highness, didn't I?" Hearing that Ma Wei did not want to repay the favor, the second prince was moved. He knew that Ma Wei was speaking politely, but it sounded comfortable.
"I'm serious, Nicholas." The second prince said, "I will definitely tell Archbishop Brandon about this. It would be really unfair if I don't reward you, and I don't want to owe you a favor."
"Well...since you said so, Your Highness..." Mawei said thoughtfully: "I have obtained the official status of a citizen of the Kingdom of Windsor and enjoy all citizenship rights. I want to participate in the parliamentary election."
"Member...election?" The second prince's eyes widened: "You want to be a member of Parliament?"
"Yes."
"Why be a member of Parliament?"
"Your Highness, when a businessman has money, what he has to consider is naturally power." Ma Wei said: "Businessmen with money but no power are just money bags in the eyes of big shots. Only by mastering power can wealth last long. keep it up."
"I know this. What I'm curious about is..." The second prince frowned: "As long as you are willing to marry Freya, you can immediately become a veritable duke and nobleman and enter the House of Lords without any hindrance. It's so easy. Why are you making things so troublesome? I know Freya’s thoughts. She doesn’t hate you. I think she will accept marrying you.”
"Freya is a very good woman, and I respect her very much, but..." touching her daughter's head, Ma Wei smiled and said: "Before Emma's mother passed away, I promised her that I would take care of her. Good Emma, my wife must be a woman who must be approved and approved by Emma.”
"Don't Emma like Freya?" The second prince really didn't expect this. He never took Yunia's opinion into consideration. He always believed that as long as Ma Wei and Freya were consensual, they could get married. Unexpectedly, there is an important character in the middle.
"It's not that I don't like her!" Yunia yelled, squeezing her neck: "I just think that bad woman is not suitable for daddy!"
"Bad woman..." The second prince's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, you can handle your affairs yourself and I won't get involved. In fact, Freya is quite nice. I know her very well. People say she is a loose woman, but she is not..."
"I remember Freya said that she and your Highness grew up together."
"Well, because the old Duke of Chevalier has a good relationship with my father, and because Freya and I are the same age, we are quite familiar with each other." Mavey nodded and suddenly asked: "Suddenly, in the past two years, Your Highness, have you noticed anything strange about Freya?"
"The strange thing...what exactly do you mean?"
"Such as personality, temper, words and deeds, etc." The second prince recalled carefully, he really hadn't put any effort into this aspect. In his eyes, Freya was Freya...
"If I have to say it, Freya is indeed different before and after her marriage." The second prince spread his hands and said, "As a woman, it is normal for there to be changes before and after marriage!"
"What has changed about her?"
"Her personality is stronger than before she got married. Freya used to have strong opinions but not many. Now she has become more resolute and decisive. She feels a bit like a strong woman, and her speech is much firmer than before..." the second prince said. : "Maybe it has something to do with the death of her relatives. She is much more mature than before, as if she changed from a flower in the greenhouse to a wild rose in the suburbs overnight." The second prince believed that the source of Freya's change was Since the death of her husband and father, Ma Wei did not agree with his views.
According to the second prince, Freya's body was most likely invaded by Asmodeus, the great demon of the Four Supreme Pillars, which caused a change in her temperament.
With the clues provided by the second prince, Ma Wei became more convinced that Freya was the Four Supreme Pillars.
"Nicholas, why are you asking?"
"I'm just curious about what kind of woman Freya was before." Ma Wei smiled: "As your highness said, Freya is a woman who has been married once after all. She is different from a young girl. Her cognition, He will also become more mature.”
"That's right. Anyway, I really want to bring you together." The second prince admitted frankly: "But you have to consider Emma's opinion. This is not something I can help with."
"Marriage cannot be forced. If two people are not suitable for each other, they will separate even if they get married."
"Well, let's not talk about Freya. Nicholas, if you want to become a candidate for parliament, there is no problem, but you have to wait until April, when the annual parliamentary election will be launched. It is only the beginning of February, it is still early." It is not as simple as imagined. The Kingdom of Windsor also adopts a voter voting system. Whoever gets the most votes will be elected as a member.
If you want to get votes, you need to carry out pre-election activities, increase your popularity, and get people to support you. However, Ma Wei has just arrived and is not well-known. If you want to run for parliament, you still have a lot of work to do.
Until then, the looming potions tender is all that matters.
"The quarantine will end soon. When the quarantine ends, it will almost be bidding week. Nicholas, how are you preparing?"
"There is basically no problem." Ma Wei said: "At the latest next Monday, the ordered machines will be sent to the factory one after another. After installation and debugging are completed, production can begin."
"Where are the raw materials?" the second prince asked, "Do I need to buy them from the church?"
"I have already had the raw materials delivered. They will arrive at the London port almost next week. After that, every half month, a ship will deliver the potion materials."
"Isn't this too much trouble?" The second prince hesitated, "Can't we just purchase the materials directly from the church?"
"Your Highness, the raw materials for potions grow in different areas. Some materials only grow in high latitudes, and some materials grow in low latitudes. Why are there so few new products in Manstein's Potion Grocery Store? It's because of the materials!" Ma Wei He said plausibly: "I have collected many formulas, but due to the shortage of materials, there are very few potions that can be produced on a large scale! That's why I want to become the church's only designated potion dealer and reach agreements with other kingdoms and churches. Cooperation, in this way, Manstein Potion Company can obtain a variety of continuous materials!"
"No wonder Manstein's Potion Grocery Store only has a few products so far..." The second prince suddenly realized: "I'll discuss it with Archbishop Brandon later and ask him to give you some potion formulas, and Just tell me the list of materials the church currently has and what it needs, and I will negotiate with Archbishop Brandon!" ........................ ..................... Two days later, London gradually returned to calm. Many prisoners were arrested and returned to prison. Only a few people were still on the run and it was difficult to find traces. Among them was Bart. S. Brave.
Because a few prisoners blocked the city, it was too much of a fuss. After most of the prisoners were arrested and returned to Eucalyptus, the church relaxed the restrictions, allowed the nobles to return to their residences, lifted the isolation restrictions, and issued wanted orders for several prisoners. Order, mobilize the people to search together.
Ma Wei returned to Flower Street and immediately counted the goods. The priests and monks responsible for guarding the store did follow Archbishop Brandon's order and did not touch any of the goods on the shelves. They even slept in the living room. .
They were acting under orders, but Mavit also wanted to express his gratitude. In order to express his gratitude, Mavit took a few bottles of magic potion that could not be sold in the store - Hercules' sticks and gave them to them.
After not going home for a few days, a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the floor. Mavie asked Edward to go out and hire some temporary maids to clean the house, while he took Yunia, Laiwen and Daniel to Havering District. Today is Monday , the day the machine arrives, as the boss, Ma Wei will definitely be there to supervise it in person.
When Mawei and others visited the factory in Havering District, they happened to see a carriage carrying huge pieces of machine parts. Jacob, the head of the factory, was directing the workers to unload the goods. Freya was also among them. Today she was wearing Wearing a black gauze skirt with red lining, she looks elegant yet charming.
Each machine was unloaded from the truck. In order to transport the heavy machines, the manufacturer had to disassemble all the parts and then use a large number of horse-drawn carriages to transport them back and forth. Even so, they still encountered difficulties.
"Come and help! The axle is broken! The machine is stuck in the mud!" The road that had just rained in the early morning was a bit muddy, and it was difficult for the horse to exert force. In addition, the road was not smooth enough, so the wooden axle was easy to break. It carries extremely heavy machine parts. Once it collapses, it will take a lot of effort to pull it out.
Maybe it won't be done in a day or two. Jacob called the workers and rushed towards the scene of the incident, intending to lift the machine out with brute force. However, when he arrived, he discovered that the machine was a whole piece. The entrance and exit parts of the crawler tracks could not be disassembled and were very heavy. There were more than a dozen Only when the workers came together could it be moved a little bit.
If you relax even a little bit, you will immediately smash back to where you were. Seeing the workers shouting slogans and exerting their strength, with veins popping out on their foreheads, Ma Wei rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"What are you thinking about?" Freya asked.
"I was thinking..." Ma Wei licked his lips: "Isn't this a good opportunity to promote the Hercules Club?"
"Felix, find a few people to spread the word and attract people to come and watch the fun. The more the better!"
"I know, brother!"
