Chapter 31: Sacrificing oneself for the country is our unshirkable duty

Chapter 31: Sacrificing oneself for the country is our unshirkable duty

Chu Chengan’s brother, no, it should be said that it is the character Prince Philip’s brother, Prince Joseph.

Chu Cheng'an had observed him over the past few days and found that he was actually a very shrewd and patient person. In front of his father, he behaved like a perfect eldest son. He was humble and friendly to his younger brother, and gave good things to his younger brother first. However, when faced with difficulties, he remained silent and took them all on his own.

Such a perfect person should live in heaven, not on earth.

Chu Chengan had to think of a way to get rid of his god-like brother in one go.

The father happily invited the two princes to a family dinner.

The queen of this country was obviously not as fertile as the queen of the previous world, and she gave birth to so many sisters for him.

The Kingdom of Qiqiite (also known as the Kingdom of Sewing Machines) has only two princes and no princesses.

The king has few children, but it doesn't matter. It is enough for him. Prince Joseph is so outstanding.

In the luxurious restaurant, at the luxurious dining table, the king smiled kindly and kept asking his servants to add more dishes to the two princes, all of which were delicious fish, meat, and other delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

Chu Chengan has eaten a lot of these things in the past few days, but what he ate today was obviously different.

Take seafood for example. The abalone in this meal is bigger, and so is the meat. They are grilled to a sizzling oil. It’s obvious that the chef’s skills are far better than those in the palace.

Chu Cheng'an's mouth was covered with liquid after eating, and his stepmother, the queen, even knelt down to wipe it for him.

Ah, why is it so good all of a sudden? Isn't this a banquet?

Facts proved that he was overthinking and that the other party was just forcing him to "marry".

The king began a long speech.

Speaking of neighboring countries, Princess Aurora of Fanfan Country is almost sixteen years old. You guessed it right, she is the world-famous Princess Aurora who was cursed by the black witch. Apart from the curse, she is full of advantages, smart, kind, studious, and hardworking. Her appearance is the most dazzling feature. She is currently the most beautiful princess in the world.

She is currently looking for a live-in prince consort.

Chu Chengan was so upset that he could stuff a goose egg into his mouth.

Ah, there actually is such a beautiful princess in the world, and there actually is such a father who is so good at drawing cakes. Should he immediately risk his life and go to the neighboring country to make the princess fall in love with him?

The king had not yet finished his speech.

He said, you all know it, right? Legend has it that this curse is very evil, it was cast by the most powerful black witch in the world, Malin, and it cannot be broken at all. The fairy also took the initiative and thought she was smart to change it to sleep. In fact, Princess Aurora would die if she touched the sewing machine.

I don't know which will be achieved in the end? Sleep or death?

That is to say, no matter which one of you is, after you marry her, no, after you become the prince consort of the king, when the old king dies a hundred years later, all the property of that country will belong to us...

The old king was nearly 70 years old. He had spent a lot of time and energy trying to have a child, but in the end he only had a daughter.

Chu Chengan's father said meaningfully: "We must seize this position of the prince consort. Although our country is known as a sewing machine power, the women in our country are spendthrifts..."

The queen glared at him.

The king continued, "They have to change into new clothes every day, so our country is actually pretending to be rich. The economy has reached a very poor level. The future of the country still depends on you, children."

The king chanted so much that Chu Cheng'an became drowsy.

All that's missing is eating the luxurious pasta up your nose.

His stepfather also introduced them to the current candidates and the election situation, saying that the king of the neighboring country is most optimistic about Hansen, the sewing machine tycoon and son of a large merchant family.

"Ah?" Prince Philip interrupted, "What kind of monster dares to jump in front of the woman I like?"

The other three people on the field: "..."

After a while, the king explained to his second son who was ignorant and had no political acumen: "Our palace still relies on wealthy businessmen to make more money for us, especially this sewing machine tycoon. The reason why we can still eat, drink and have fun is all due to their annual taxes. We must not offend him. We can only compete fairly."

Fairness in quotation marks.

"oh……"

Chu Chengan drank another glass of red wine. He felt a little dizzy now. He didn't drink much normally, so there was no opportunity for that occasion.

Now that he can drink the wine in the palace, of course...

Getting even more drunk.

After a discussion.

Chu Cheng'an finally understood. Although he was a son-in-law, his adoptive father had been eyeing the neighboring country's property and wanted to take it all for himself as soon as the old king died.

The abacus clattered so loudly that the beads were about to hit his face.

It's time for the final critical moment.

The king asked, "So who of you is going?"

The eldest prince, Prince Joseph, looked like he was ready to sacrifice himself: "I have no choice but to accept this job as my new husband!"

Prince Philip slammed the table and stood up: "No, I am more suitable to be a son-in-law!"

Upside down upside down...marrying the bride into the family?

“……???” His father, mother and brother looked at him in horror after hearing this.

I haven't heard of this name before, but it seems to be something like this, right?

The king was deeply moved. They... they were so sensible and caring about their father.

"I never thought that you two brothers would be so friendly and humble, sacrificing your own interests for the sake of the overall situation. But what I want is to register your names and go to the neighboring country together to participate in Princess Aurora's selection of a prince consort."

Buy one more lottery ticket, and you will have twice the chance of winning! Guaranteed profit!

Prince Joseph and Prince Philip looked at each other: "..."

No day is worse than today. No day is worse than today.

The next day, the two packed their luggage and were sent out of the city by the king.

Before leaving, the king greatly commended them for their great deeds for the country and the people.

Chu Cheng'an heard another meaning: Don't come back if you don't complete the mission!

Ah, the road ahead is long and arduous. Where are my teammates? Why don’t they come to find me? I always have to trouble them to find me! What a shame!

After three days of long journey, the two finally arrived at the neighboring country Fanfan.

In the meantime, there has never been any conflict between Prince Philip and his brother Joseph. It's not that Chu Cheng'an didn't rack his brains to get his brother out, but he was just too patient. No matter how Chu Cheng'an teased him with words (:D) or took action, he didn't get angry.

He couldn't just beat up other competitors, right? What if the NPC used his royal power? Wouldn't he be in big trouble?

It’s better to take it one step at a time. There will always be a way when you reach the mountain.

Sooner or later he will make a fool of himself in front of the princess and lose the election.

They arrived at the registration office of the Royal Court of Fanfan Kingdom. It was crowded with people, even more lively than a vegetable market. Of course, those who were lucky enough to be selected would go to register. Those who were not qualified to participate also wanted to join in the fun. After all, those standing here were either rich or noble. If they tried to get close to them first, they might become relatives in the future.

Prince Philip and his wife soon found Hanssen, the only son of a sewing machine tycoon, among the candidates for the royal consort.

It was his brother Joseph who knew Hansen, so he recognized him at a glance.

If it were Chu Chengan, he would definitely not be able to find him. Hansen looks too ordinary, and his honest face gives people the impression that he would take the blame for others. It would be too difficult to find such a person even if he was drowned in a crowd.

Unlike him, who is naturally handsome and suitable to be a prince, he has to wake himself up a hundred times every day to look handsome.

Joseph introduced his younger brother to Hanssen again. In fact, the two had met each other when they were children. Hanssen and Prince Philip both have very short memories.

So the following conversation took place.

"Hansen, I didn't expect that we have such a fate to meet here again." Joseph was 100% friendly.

Chu Chengan thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? Didn't they already know that the other party was a competitor and came here to participate in the selection of a prince consort?

Hansen is a very honest man, and you can tell he is genuinely honest, and a little bit frightened.

"Ah, Your Highnesses, I am so sorry for your disrespect. I..."

Joseph introduced his younger brother to him again: "This is the second prince Philip, my younger brother. You met and played together when you were young. Do you still remember him?"

"Philip...Philip?" Such a familiar word, but he had no impression of it.

"Yes." Joseph began to introduce the merchant tycoon's son to his brother. "Philip, this is our good friend, Young Master Hansen. It's a rare opportunity for us to come to our neighboring country together. We should take care of each other."

Take care of each other? You're going to eliminate him in the first round, right? I'm familiar with this, brother, don't worry. Chu Chengan received the hint.

After chatting with these two people for a while, Chu Cheng'an felt exhausted. There were so many people here to audition, he had to go get information and look for his teammates. Maybe his teammates were also looking for him.

Especially Wang Anyuan, it was his first time in this game world and he was unfamiliar with the place. He must be scared. He couldn't delay here any longer. He had to find Wang Anyuan and Lu Zhenqiu as soon as possible.

…

Chu Cheng'an was acting like a male peacock at the entrance of the "vegetable market", showing off everywhere. His brother Prince Joseph felt really embarrassed, but he couldn't pretend that he and Philip were not brothers. The two of them dressed and looked very similar, and it was obvious that they were born of the same parents, so Joseph was also embarrassed like a male peacock.

I have no words to express my pain.

Chu Chengan was so ostentatious, but he didn't know that he had already been targeted by other players.

He did this on purpose. He was really looking for teammates and trying to send a signal to his friends in the real world.

…

There were more than 10,000 candidates applying for the position of prince consort this time, which made Chu Cheng'an think of a modern talent show called "One in a Million". It must be good to be a princess, with so many people admiring her.

These 10,000 people have already been selected through screening. I heard that there were originally more, perhaps 100,000 people. If they were organized, they could form an army to attack other countries.

Are the king and queen of Fanfan Kingdom (Princess Aurora's kingdom) really not afraid that so many people will break down the gate of his castle?
