Yang Hui and Clovis were really shocked by Odisseus. Clovis would go to [Ten] only after they talked alone in the afternoon and came to the final conclusion. Odisseus could not know about this.
, although his approach coincides with the two of them, his purpose... is intriguing.
"My father has told the cabinet meeting about you, Yang Hui, and the cabinet members are all very critical of this, but my father's imperial order cannot be violated. You only need to pay attention to your small actions in private." Odisseu
Si first looked at Yang Hui and told him the attitude of the cabinet meeting towards him.
"The governor of [Ten] originally wanted to hand it over to Cornelia. After all, it was the territory she conquered, but Cornelia refused decisively and asked her father to transfer her to another place to continue the war.
My father also agreed, so the position of Governor of [Ten] is temporarily vacant, and the cabinet members are also quarreling."
Hearing this, the corner of Yang Hui's mouth curled up. Can you stop arguing? The base camp of the imperial capital is the place closest to the core of the empire, so the overseas territories are the basic base. Even if you lose power in the core, you can return to the basic base to protect yourself and your family, or even wait.
A chance to make a comeback.
"Everyone's recommendation is different, and we can't get a unified result, so I recommended you, Clovis. As the prince of the empire, it's time for you to fulfill your obligations as a prince."
"Why me? Even if Princess Cornelia declines, wouldn't Princess Guinevere be more suitable?" Clovis asked Odisseus.
"Because of your relationship with Yang Hui." As he said that, Odisseus glanced at Yang Hui with a smile, "Everyone knows Guinevere's ability. She will be the most dazzling flower at the banquet in the imperial capital, but
She can't manage a territory."
"Then the emperor thinks highly of me. I don't know how to manage the territory. I only like painting, and I don't have any talent." Clovis spread his hands and said, his posture somewhat similar to Yang Hui.
"But you and Yang Hui have a good relationship, don't you?"
Hearing this, Clovis restrained himself and stared at Odisseus. The meaning of this sentence was very profound. The most important point was that Odisseus knew that Yang Hui had secretly established a powerful force.
And Yang Hui will let this power help Clovis. With the help of this power, Clovis will not have any problems in the management of [Ten], nor will he encounter any danger.
"Go, Clovis, you enjoy the treatment of a royal family, and naturally you have to bear the responsibilities of a royal family."
"...Okay." Clovis had a tangled expression. After a long time, he exhaled and sullenly agreed to Odisseus' request.
"Well, and Yang Hui... forget it, you never need to remind me." Looking at Yang Hui who was sitting aside and saying nothing, Odisseus wanted to say something, but he swallowed it down, feeling that it was unnecessary.
, Yang Hui won’t listen either.
Just in time for a pot of black tea, Odisseus left, Clovis and Yang Hui both remained silent, and the atmosphere was very heavy.
"Yang Hui, Brother Odisseus is not simple." Clovis slumped on the sofa and smiled bitterly, "Tell me openly that you want to use me to draw out the power in your hands. I have no way to refuse."
"A person who can be a prince is really that mediocre?" Yang Hui smiled and shook his head, "If he was really that mediocre, would Guinevere stand unswervingly by his side? And Schneizel would have been there long ago.
Kicked him out."
"Yes, without some trump cards, it would be difficult to survive in the palace." Clovis smiled bitterly.
"Okay, since he is willing to go with the flow, you can continue with peace of mind."
"Of course, it's all decided. Naturally, I can't back down. Aren't you protecting me from behind?"
"That's right, so you can just quietly be a waste."
"Yang Hui! Only one person can walk out of this room today!"
…
On the other side, Odiceus returned to the palace by car. Clovis and Yang Hui could not have imagined that Guinevere and Odiceus, who had been tit-for-tat with them in the afternoon, were in the same car.
Now, when Odiceus met Clovis and Yang Hui, she had been waiting in the car.
Moreover, it was even more impossible for them to imagine that after listening to Odisseus' story, Guinevere was not angry, but instead had a gentle smile on her face.
"You don't have to worry about him now, do you?"
"Yes, brother Huang."
"You have worked hard for so many years."
"It's not hard, Brother Emperor. They can grow up safely and be able to stand alone. It's all worth it."
"...Do you think Yang Hui...has seen through it?"
"I must have seen through it. No one can hide it from his eyes, brother Huang."
"Hahaha, that's troublesome for him, he keeps acting with us."
"Yeah, but...it's precisely because of his existence that we can be where we are now, isn't it?"
"That's right." As they spoke, Odisseus and Guinevere subconsciously glanced at the driver's seat and the escort vehicles in front and behind.
…
A few days later, the emperor's order came down, and Yang Hui officially took the privileges into his hands and had the power to form his own army.
"Yeah, yeah, it seems that His Highness the Fourth Prince has quite a lot of ambitions." Lloyd, who just came to report yesterday, sighed, but the movements of his hands did not slow down.
"Why? Mr. Lloyd." Cecil, his assistant, asked doubtfully.
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince wants to take away the rosters of all the empire's troops, including the secret special forces and the knights under the Grand Dukes. Only the members of the royal knights are excluded by him."
"Eh? Are you planning to recruit people from across the entire army? But...will those people come?"
"Who knows? Maybe His Highness has his own ideas..."
"Haha, you can only lie to Cecil with such nonsense, Lloyd." At this time, Lakshatta suddenly came, making Lloyd smile bitterly.
Lakshata did not come alone. Her sister Shanti was with her. She was very cute but had a more mature expression on her face than an adult.
"Miss Lakshatta, Shanti, why are you here?" Cecil asked in surprise. Lloyd and Lakshatta are now in charge of different projects and have independent research laboratories. Moreover, the relationship between the two of them has never been seen before.
It’s difficult, let alone taking the initiative to come to the door.
"My work here is done, Lloyd, you lose again." Lakshata said while throwing a storage device to Lloyd.
Lloyd caught it immediately, his wry smile became even brighter: "You are still so persistent, Lakshata."
"Nonsense! If he hadn't provided me with a platform to defeat you, I would have left long ago."
"Haha, but... I've also finished here, Lakshata, this round should be a draw." Lloyd teased, with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Tch, fox."
"But it's really surprising. Our Highness is actually so good at designing Knightmare. He always feels like he is useless."
"..." On this point alone, Lakshatta could not refute Lloyd.
At first, both Lakshata and Lloyd thought that Yang Hui was planning to let them each design a next-generation Knightmare, and then compete to determine the outcome of the two who developed a more powerful machine.
As a result, Yang Hui did not need them to design the aircraft body separately. Instead, he gave them a design drawing and asked them to take charge of different projects and decide the winner based on the quality and speed of final completion.
When they saw the design drawings, Lakshata and Lloyd were both frightened. Many of the designs could become timeless works, even they had not thought of it.
"But...if this machine is completed, the old academics who are the researchers will definitely be unable to sit still, right?" Lloyd happily played with the storage device in his hand and said with a joking smile.
"Isn't this nonsense? Those old immortals who think they are invincible will definitely be slapped in the face this time." Speaking of this, Lakshata also had a smile on her face. After all, she had been suppressed and discriminated against before.
.
"Huh~ The basic mission is completed, what's next, Lakshata."
"Tch, am I that ignorant in your eyes?"
Thirteen new design drawings appeared on the screen, and each Knightmare was full of a sharp feeling. Lloyd and Lakshata stood side by side. They both knew that this time they must cooperate to complete the stunning work that Yang Hui gave them.
.
"By the way, Miss Lakshatta." At this time, Cecil finally thought of what Lakshatta said to her when she came in, "Why do you say that Mr. Lloyd is lying to me?"
"..."
Lakshatta looked at Lloyd with dead eyes and asked him with her eyes that this is the assistant you chose?
Lloyd covered his face in depression, suddenly wondering if his choice was wrong.
"His Highness will not choose people from other troops so blatantly, especially the existing special forces and the knights of the Grand Dukes. They are all just a cover, because His Highness will not let others have the opportunity to put nails in his own troops."
"Eh?"
"With His Highness's style, he should have chosen the members long ago. These are all actions to confuse other people, and then His Highness takes the opportunity to take away the people he wants."
"..." Cecil was speechless, pointing at himself with his mouth slightly open, and then looked at Lloyd with tears in his eyes, "Mr. Lloyd..."
"Ahaha." Lloyd scratched his hair, "I just think Cecil is too cute and want to tease you..."
"Mr. Lloyd!"
"Sorry, I won't do it next time!" After being stared at by Cecil angrily, Lloyd folded his hands and apologized. He knew his assistant that Cecil was a very gentle person, very good at taking care of others, and very cute.
, but...if she is really angry, she will lose a layer of skin even if she doesn't die.
"Pfft~ Hahahaha, you have today too, Lloyd." The most interesting thing in Rakshata's life is watching Lloyd suffer.
