Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 300



[Chapter 300 The Heirs of the Tiran Kingdom]

His Royal Highness Prince Granville believed that David would seriously tarnish his sister’s reputation by moving directly into the home of Princess Sophia without consummating the marriage.

Even if the whole country knew that the Earl of Glamorgan was Princess Sophia’s fiancé, this behavior was very inappropriate!

“…”

Seeing Prince Granville express his dissatisfaction with him and then seriously reprimand his sister Sophia, David saw the character of this prince.

“His Royal Highness Prince Granville attaches great importance to this matter, so after returning to the capital, he heard that Princess Sophia invited you to live in the old house, so he came directly.”

Sutton whispered to David and introduced the prince, and at the same time admitted that his relationship with this nephew was very bad.

Because Earl Sutton-Stewart was a famous playboy in the capital, he was not doing his job all day and was studying some messy things. Even if it was his own elder, Prince Granville never gave this uncle a good face.

“Just returned to the capital? As the first heir to the kingdom, you didn’t stay in the capital?”

With Sutton’s introduction, David learned that this prince was serious, polite, fair, and never indulged in fun. He often went to various places in the kingdom to observe the situation in various places. He had a very high reputation in all classes of the kingdom.

It can be said that the status of his Royal Highness Prince Granville as the heir to the throne is very stable. His younger brother Felix-Tilland seems to know that he can’t compete with his elder brother. He has been indulging in pleasure in recent years and seems to be ready to follow his uncle Earl Sutton-Stewart.

As for the other princess, Sofia’s sister Lana, she had married to the south a few years ago and became the wife of Marquis Otto, the lord of the most important town in the south, Baiyan City. It seems that she has never been included in the sequence of heirs.

When Sofia was scolded by her elder brother and was completely depressed, David also had a general understanding of several princes and princesses.

Speaking of which, before today, he had never paid attention to the heirs of the Kingdom of Tilan.

After all, he had always been outside the core of the Kingdom of Tilan, and his territory was located in the most remote place of the Kingdom of Tilan. He himself had never paid attention to this information.

If it weren’t for Abelson’s sudden desire to marry his youngest daughter Sophia to David, and sending Sophia to Winter City early, and then because Sophia brought him to the old house of the Stewart family, attracting the eldest prince, he might still know nothing about the heir of the Kingdom of Tilan.

Looking at David’s expression, Sutton had several guesses in his heart:

either David really had no interest in the throne of the Kingdom of Tilan, so he was too lazy to pay attention to the issue of the order of succession, even if he became Princess Sophia’s fiancé, he didn’t think about whether he could get involved in that position;

or, David was absolutely confident in his own strength. He felt that as long as he relied on his strong strength, no matter who sat in that position, he would have to bow to him in the end, and there was no need to understand this information.

In addition, David might not pay much attention to Princess Sophia.

Sutton-Stewart, as a playboy, understood this situation best. Because he didn’t care at all, he had no interest in understanding. He had a similar mentality towards those he hunted for.

In this way, another message was derived: David was still “loyal” to the Kingdom of Tiran, or His Majesty Abelson, because he did not refuse to be the husband of His Royal Highness because of his personal “preference”.

At this time, after teaching his sister a lesson and making her deeply aware of her mistakes, His Royal Highness Prince Granville walked in front of David again and sincerely suggested that the Earl of Glamorgan move out of the Stewart family’s old house as soon as possible.

Before David spoke, Earl Sutton-Stewart rejected the prince’s suggestion on David’s behalf.

And he gave a reason that the prince could not refute: Earl David-Glamorgan had lived in the old house for a long time, and almost everyone in the capital knew that Earl David-Glamorgan lived here.

Driving him away at this time, is it to tell everyone in the capital that Earl Glamorgan and Princess Sophia have fallen out?

“…”

Prince Granville’s expression was as ugly as it could be. He found that what his uncle said made a lot of sense. If this really happened, the rumors would probably spread even more unpleasantly, and his sister’s reputation would become even worse.

“Continuing to maintain the status quo is the most correct choice at the moment, which can prove that the relationship between the Earl of Glamorgan and Her Royal Highness the Princess is very stable.”

“…”

Prince Granville’s mouth twitched twice, especially when he saw that his sister not only did not realize that she had made a “big mistake”, but was actually laughing beside her, he was so angry that he said goodbye and left.

Sofia looked at her elder brother’s back, stuck out her tongue and made a face, then smiled and thanked her uncle.

“You are no longer a child. You can decide what to do by yourself. You don’t need to listen to your elder brother…”

Although from some perspectives, Granville was also considering his sister, but sometimes you can’t just look at things from your own perspective.

In the case of David and Sophia, it cannot be treated as usual, otherwise His Majesty the King would have responded long ago, why would he wait for Granville to remind him?

Sophia smiled and did not respond to her uncle’s words. She was a little afraid of this serious elder brother since she was a child, and even felt that her elder brother was more difficult to get close to than her father.

Even though this old house was already her own house and she had the right to use it to entertain anyone, when her elder brother came to scold her, Sophia still did not dare to talk back to defend herself.

At this time, Prince Granville, who had left angrily, came back again.

However, he did not come back by himself. He was accompanied by Queen Rosie Stewart and another man who was obviously a few years younger than Granville.

He also looked a bit like Abelson, but more like Queen Rosie Stewart beside him.

With this appearance, David could guess without introduction that this person was Felix Tilan, the second prince of the Tilan Kingdom.

Compared to the eldest prince’s serious look, the second prince Felix always has a faint smile on his face. His temperament is somewhat similar to Sutton-Stewart, but there are easily distinguishable differences.

When David was still wondering what the specific difference was, he noticed that the second prince’s eyes were wandering around. When he saw Sylvanas, his eyes obviously brightened, and then turned to Arcee and Laura not far away.

Seeing this scene, David already knew what kind of enjoyment activities the second prince was addicted to!

In terms of temperament, this prince seemed to be more wild than his uncle, without any concealment.

With this identity and temperament, if he appeared in novels and movies, he would definitely be the stepping stone for the protagonist to pretend to be powerful.

If he ran into such a person in normal times, David would have to think seriously about how hard he should be?

Now he doesn’t have to worry about such things. No matter how unreliable this prince is, he won’t do anything out of tune in front of his mother, uncle, brother and sister.

David’s judgment was very accurate. Apart from a glance, His Royal Highness Prince Felix was very quiet. Apart from the initial greeting, he did not say a few words to David.

Instead, he chatted with his sister enthusiastically. He was very concerned about Sophia, who was going to marry to the northern border, and was afraid that his sister would not have enough food or warm clothes.

Only after he was sure that Sophia had eaten a lot of new and delicious food in Winter City did he smile and tease his little sister: “It seems that you are really living well over there. You have gained weight!” “

…”

Sophia clenched her fist to express her dissatisfaction. Why did everyone say that she was fat when they saw her family? Just when she began to worry whether she had really gained weight and whether David would dislike it.

The eldest brother who only knew how to scold himself also said: “Sophia, you should pay attention to controlling your diet. As a princess of the Kingdom of Tiran, your words, deeds, and body shape represent more than just yourself… When you leave the capital this time, take a few female officials back to Winter City!”

Sophia didn’t want to take the female officials back to Winter City. She can get up at any time in Winter City. How wonderful it is to stay in Winter City if she doesn’t want to get up?

She didn’t want to go back to the days when she had to get up on time every day to wash, all kinds of work and rest were strictly controlled, and even eating had to be rationed.

After focusing on Sophia for a while, everyone opened up the conversation, and the content of the chat later became much more relaxed.

The expression of the eldest prince Granville was no longer so serious and repulsive. He talked to David about the situation in the north and showed some curiosity about David’s Winter City.

“If Your Highness is interested, you can go to Winter City in person.”

“Thank you, Lord Glamorgan, for the invitation. I will.”

Even Felix, who had not said much, expressed his desire to go to Winter City. If it was as interesting as Sofia described, he even wanted to stay there for a while.

As if he had a premonition of what his elder brother was going to say, Felix blocked his elder brother’s words: “I don’t have any responsibilities that I must fulfill. It doesn’t matter if I stay outside for a while… Just think of it as me going to understand the situation at the border of the kingdom.”

Granville sighed helplessly. He was too lazy to teach his younger brother: “Whatever you want!”

As a mother, Rosie had long been accustomed to such situations. She was too lazy to even look at the brothers and continued to chat with David and her younger brother Sutton.

While chatting, she suddenly asked her younger brother Sutton: “I wonder how Lana is doing in the south? Sutton, when you go to White Rock City this time, remember to visit her for me.”
