"What's wrong?" Alger asked.
Leonardo wasted no time in talking. "You're a clueless fellow who's thinking the wrong things. You know, ever since I asked my father to confer a title on you, some people haven't been very happy."
Alger pondered for a moment and asked in surprise, "Second Prince?"
His Majesty the Empire has three children: two sons and a daughter. The eldest princess had formed an alliance with Leonardo in her early years, and the second prince... Alger curled his lips. He could only say that brains are a good thing, but this prince obviously doesn't have it.
Seven years ago, during the final battle with the Alliance, he was surrounded by a Zerg army that appeared out of nowhere. To protect the elite troops of the Third Legion, Alger had to stay behind to cover their retreat. Leonardo said that by the time they found him, the Vertibird's hull was no longer able to shield him. If they had been a step later, Alger would have died from prolonged exposure to cosmic radiation.
Fortunately, the subsequent treatment went smoothly, but unfortunately, Alger's spiritual sea was destroyed. This immediately excluded him from the core power circles of the military, after all, they didn't need a general who couldn't even operate the command system. For Leonardo, this was not good news. After all, Alger was a key figure in his faction, and he trusted him deeply, hoping that Alger could infiltrate the military's upper echelons... But these plans were completely scrapped with the shattering of his spiritual sea.
The Second Prince was overjoyed at the time. For him, the setback to his eldest brother's power was a good thing. Clearly, he hadn't considered that the First Prince had simply lost the opportunity to further infiltrate the military, rather than withdrawing from the battle for the crown prince.
Leonardo's eyes showed a hint of annoyance, and he was clearly fed up with his blood brother. "I'm not going to drag this out any longer. If you fight an idiot for too long, you'll become an idiot yourself."
"Alger, I'll arrange for you to leave the Imperial Capital for a while." He said apologetically, "You're not suited to get involved in our fight right now."
Given Alger's current physical condition, the slightest carelessness could lead to his death. By the end of the struggle, Leonardo wouldn't have the energy to protect him.
So the Crown Prince decided to throw his rookie friend out of the battlefield first, and bring him back after the capital star was cleaned up.
Alger thought about it and felt that he was indeed a burden now, so he nodded and said okay.
Then he asked, "Where am I going?"
"Nachuo." The Crown Prince's dazzling golden hair almost melted into the sun. "A god walks on the planet."
Alger frowned. He struggled to recall the name from the territorial division treaties in his memory and said hesitantly, "Naturally?"
Leonardo nodded and smiled. "I heard that there's a God-pleasing Celebration being held there. Since your spiritual sea can't be solved with technology, perhaps you can seek help from the gods."
"...How could a god possibly pay attention to an ordinary person?" Alger expressed no hope.
"Even if we can't seek help from that god, Nachu is a gathering place for elves... They have profound attainments in magic and potions. Asking for physical comfort shouldn't be a problem, right?" Leonardo spread his hands. "Let's take a step back, Mr. Alger. The last time you went out was seven years ago!"
"Go out for a walk, then bring back an elf to get married! Aunt Susie is already 270 years old! Do you want her to be isolated at the sisterhood party because she has no grandchildren?"
Nonsense, my grandma would never be isolated. She is the only one who isolates others.
Alger swallowed his words, because the crown prince in front of him, his peer, was not only married, but also had children.
"Marriage is impossible," Alger said finally. "You know me. Those young girls only fell in love with my appearance and prominent family background. Oh, and the stories I told. But the elves—they are all arrogant, beautiful but illusory and lifeless."
"...Hmm." The Crown Prince said nothing, but smiled mysteriously, like those fist-hardening priests in the Temple of Light: "Well, we have to try it anyway—"
"That Miss Nino from the last party, you were the one who brought her to me, right?"
"I remembered something, so I'll be leaving first. Bye." The Crown Prince left in a flash.
Alger watched the other person leave, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Half a month later, Na Chuxing.
