"Ask Arthur for help?"

The second prince showed a surprised expression: "We are mortal enemies of the Labor Party, and he will not help us!"

"The competition between the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party has entered a tense moment. With the current size of the Labor Party, no matter what Arthur does, he cannot become the new king..."

The knife cut the steak, revealing bright red shreds of meat. He forked a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth. Ma Wei said slowly: "In that case, why can't you try to win over him?"

"The Liberal Party and him are political enemies!"

"Precisely because he is a political enemy, Your Highness, you can make him an offer that he cannot refuse, isn't it?"

"Your Highness, Nicholas is right." Baron Frederick interjected: "Given the current situation, we must seek help from the Fourth Prince. If he is willing to help us, we will have more votes than the Conservative Party in Parliament.

!”

Although he did not understand the meaning behind becoming the 'new king', Baron Frederick still followed Ma Wei's words. Only in this way could he continue to participate in the core decision-making circle of the second prince.

"I see."

After thinking for a long time, the second prince nodded: "Tomorrow, we will visit Arthur!"

After dinner, Mavey took Junia and left. Baron Frederick stayed for a while, and seeing that he had something to say, the second prince asked: "Do you have anything else?"

"Your Highness, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"You shouldn't talk about it!"

The second prince said loudly: "I know what you want to say, it must be related to Nicholas, but I tell you, we cannot doubt him!"

"I'm not asking you to doubt him..."

Baron Frederick smiled bitterly and said: "I want to tell you that when you encountered problems in the past, you would call me, Smith and Girard to discuss it. Why do you only listen to Nicholas now?"

"He's right, why don't I listen to him?"

"Maybe we have different opinions?"

"Of course your opinions are important, Frederick." The second prince's tone suddenly softened a lot: "I have always valued you, but too many things have happened recently, and I don't have much time to think about it, such as the internal division of the Liberal Party. You

Can anyone think of a cleverer solution than Nicholas?"

Baron Frederick was silent for a while: "His approach is too extreme, and he is obviously deliberately provoking conflicts between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party..."

"Ha! Do we still need to instigate conflicts with the Conservative Party?"

The second prince shook his head and sighed: "This is the biggest difference between you and Nicholas. When you think about problems, you always use a businessman's thinking mode, as if there is nothing in this world that cannot be reconciled."

"Nicholas is different. He is more decisive and ruthless in his actions, and he often kills his enemies with one blow!"

"Frederick, why should we consider the Conservative Party's ideas? We have no retreat for a long time!"

Listening to the second prince's words, Baron Frederick suddenly realized that the His Highness he once knew so well...had changed.

He gets closer and closer to Nicholas, appreciates him more and more, and even regards his behavior as a model...

"It's not that you have lost control of the overall situation, but that Nicholas is more suitable for the current situation." The second prince said.

well...

With a sigh in his heart, Baron Frederick didn't want to say anything more. The second prince couldn't listen to what he said now.

Early the next morning, the second prince called Ma Wei and rushed to Arthur's villa. As soon as he arrived, the eldest prince came immediately.

"Shukri, I knew you were thick-skinned, but I didn't expect you to be so thick-skinned!"

Seeing the second prince, the eldest prince taunted him: "Do you really think Arthur will help you?"

"No...how will you know if you don't try!"

The second prince obviously lacked confidence and walked into the villa. As soon as he reached the entrance, Arthur's head maid stopped him: "Your Highness, Mr. Nicholas, please go to the living room and wait."

"Where is he?" the second prince asked, pointing to the eldest prince.

"Your Highness, please invite the eldest prince to come upstairs..."

His face darkened, and the second prince almost had a fit on the spot. If Ma Wei hadn't stopped him, he would have turned around and left.

This is not because he is angry, but because he really can't lose face and is humiliated by Arthur in front of Charles. No one can swallow this!

"Don't eat your face for food. You must endure it when you have to."

Ma Wei looked indifferent and advised the second prince: "We are here to ask for help. What are we doing with a straight face? Come on, smile."

Grinning, the second prince forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, moved his stiff facial muscles, and then said with some resentment: "It's all your fault, Nicholas, if you didn't ask me to come to Arthur, I wouldn't have to."

I was laughed at by Charles! Now it’s better, Arthur doesn’t want to see me at all, and he will most likely agree to Charles’ conditions!”

"The world has not yet been decided. How can Your Highness dare to make such an assertion?"

The small door on the side of the living room opened, and Gulhana, who was wearing a blue dress, walked in with elegant steps. While bowing and saluting, she said to Ma Wei and the second prince: "Mr. Nicholas, Your Highness, what's your purpose of coming, Arthur?"

Already know, he asked me to tell you two that he will not help the eldest prince."

"Please help yourself."

After saying that, Gulhana turned and left, while the tea brought by the maids was still steaming.

"She...she..."

The second prince stared blankly at Gulhana's retreating back, "What does she mean?"

"literal meaning."

Ma Wei picked up the hot tea and took a sip: "The fourth prince will not help the eldest prince. You heard it just now, didn't you?"

"I know it's good news that Arthur won't help Charles, but if he doesn't help us and remains neutral, we still won't be able to surpass the Conservative Party!"

"The fourth prince didn't say he wouldn't help us."

"He didn't say anything about helping us!"

"It's enough that he doesn't help the eldest prince." Ma Wei said calmly: "Of course, I think the fourth prince will agree to the eldest prince's request."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now the second prince couldn't understand it even more. He agreed to the eldest prince's request but refused to help the eldest prince...

Is not this contradictory?

"This is already helping us." Ma Wei said: "Your Highness, just imagine, if the fourth prince accepts the conditions offered by the eldest prince, will the eldest prince think that he has a chance to win, and relax his guard, giving us an opportunity?

"

"If Arthur accepts the conditions, Charles will definitely not think of other ways... I know this, but judging from the current number of votes, there are only a few members who have not taken sides. Even if they are all recruited, it will not be enough!"

The second prince took a puff of cigarette: "Only with Arthur's support can we win the election next month!"

Just as Ma Wei was about to speak, he suddenly heard noisy noises coming from outside the corridor. When he got closer, he heard a big news:

The king is sick!

It is said that Rhodes IV suddenly fell into a coma when he met William V and visited Princess Sophia's manor in the countryside. After some rescue, he finally woke up, but he had lost the ability to move and was lying on the bed lingering for breath. He is currently in the hospital.

On the way back home.

In order to ensure speed and avoid bumps on the road, William V used the Berlin airship. He was really afraid that Rhodes IV would die in the Kingdom of Frederick, because according to Pope Doppler II's inspection, it was determined that Rhodes IV had been shot.

A kind of soul poison, which shocked William V.

It is the most unjust thing to take the blame for something you have never done. Fortunately, Rhodes IV did not ask for trouble. He just asked to leave for home as soon as possible. The Berlin airship was very fast and it was expected to return to London in three days.

At this moment, less than half a month has passed since the poisoning...

It happened too fast!

"Why... why is this happening?" The second prince said in panic: "Didn't we agree on a month? Could it be that Charles increased the dosage of medicine?"

"It shouldn't be the problem of the eldest prince. The situation in London changes day by day. He must leave enough time." Mavis thought: "The soul of Rhodes IV is already on the verge of collapse. This long journey has made his spirit...

Not only being tired, but also taking the soul potion for a long time, it is normal to fall ill."

There was another reason that Ma Wei didn't say.

Rhodes IV's coma was most likely related to emotional excitement.

If he really loves Princess Sophia, he will definitely have a lot of emotional fluctuations. For an old man who is dying, this is often fatal.

It is meaningless to discuss the reasons why Rhodes IV fell ill. The most important thing now is how to face what will happen after the king returns.

"Father!!!"

Just as Ma Wei was thinking deeply, a sad cry suddenly came from upstairs. Anyone could recognize that it was the voice of the eldest prince. It was full of emotion, heartbreaking, and made those who heard it cry. See

The person shook his head.

Ma Wei glanced at the indifferent second prince who was standing there, and frowned: "Your Highness, why are you still standing there?"

"ah?"

"Cry! Rhodes IV is ill and will probably die soon. Aren't you sad?"

"Oh oh oh..."

The second prince reacted and put on an expression of extreme pain, as if he had not pooped for three days.

Several minutes passed without a single tear.
