It was still late at night, and it was a taboo for ministers to enter the palace. However, as today was a dinner celebration for the eldest prince's triumphant return, many people stayed up late...
Brown Ivley had just walked out of the dinner party when he was invited over by Her Royal Highness the Princess's maid.
It's already dark.
Even Brown Iffley, the chancellor of the royal court, did not dare to enter the princess's boudoir at such a time. When he was led to the palace gate by the maid, he naturally stopped.
There were several guards around.
When I was in the palace, I had developed the habit of turning a blind eye. Except for the soldiers at the gate of the imperial city who needed to be alert, most of the soldiers inside were just standing "wooden stakes", that is, empty shells.
Brown, who was born into a military family, understands this best...
These soldiers have been looking in one direction all year round and have been standing guard for more than ten hours every day. They have long been numb and don’t care about anyone who comes. They may even forget who it is after a while if they are thinking about other things.
Brown was not worried about the soldiers gossiping, but the unmarried princess's boudoir was not accessible to ordinary people.
"Your Highness."
Looking at the crimson decorations inside the room, even the utensils were more exquisite and beautiful than those of other nobles.
It is probably specially made by a famous artist!
"Lord Brown Ifri, please come in. You don't have to stand outside." Seria said towards the door, but Brown still didn't dare to go in.
"It's okay, come in."
He asked again before walking in respectfully.
The room was filled with a strong aroma and intoxicating incense...
Brown didn't dare to look up. It was the palace maid who left the room first and closed the door. Only when they were alone did he dare to raise his head.
Seria was still changing clothes behind the screen. In the candlelight, black prints of a human figure were printed on the floor on both sides. The body was moving quickly, occasionally stretching out an arm, raising a leg, and the whole shadow was shaking.
There was something moving in his sight and Brown couldn't help but take a few glances!
As the princess of the first desert empire and the only adult princess, her beauty was praised by many nobles and royal families, and her innate aura was quite majestic like that of the empress of that time.
This made Seria quite famous among the nobles, so much so that she was once the object of marriage that the royal families and nobles of many countries wanted to marry!
It's a pity, the princess has a noble status.
Unless the man is favored by Princess Seriya, even if he treats the entire country as his property, he may not be favored by the Sun King. Moreover, there are very few kings who can pledge the entire country as a betrothal gift.
"Lord Brown!"
He was so engrossed in watching that the call brought Brown Iffly back to his senses.
look up,
Princess Seriya changed into her charming dress with gold threads and a layer of tulle draped over her shoulders.
The effects of the alcohol from the party had not yet dissipated, leaving a blush around her cheeks. She looked particularly charming, especially when combined with the intoxicating fragrance in the room.
“Your Highness the Princess!!”
Brown realized his mistake and bowed hurriedly to greet...
"There's no one around now. I've had the soldiers withdrawn. There's no need to be so nervous. I'm sure you know why I called you here."
One could hear a hint of displeasure in Seriya's tone, but her good upbringing made her rarely show her temper in her words and actions, so it wasn't so obvious!
She walked alone to the table and chairs in the room and sat down, pouring a cup of tea for both of them.
"Come and sit down. I told you not to be so restrained. You can relax a little. We have plenty of time to talk slowly."
In fact, when the other party called him over, Brown had already guessed the reason. Prince Sean brought the news of victory and a background of friendly relations with the Kserk Empire, which undoubtedly established his position as the first heir to the empire. In addition, he was originally the only son of the modern queen, and the Sun King seemed to be the one who was abdicated.
If this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the next Sun King.
But...
The eldest princess in front of her did not want this to happen. Like all the princes of Jagun, her heart was full of wildness, and she wanted to become a figure like the previous queen.
Over the years, especially before Prince Sean returned, Prince Mudan and Princess Seriya had been competing with each other privately, each with their own power divisions and military supporters. However, after Prince Sean returned, most of these forces were broken.
The prince who was airdropped is indeed very capable, and he is also a legitimate son.
Some of the forces that originally supported Prince Mudan and Princess Seriya have turned to him, and now he has become the most likely heir.
Sitting in the seat opposite, Brown glanced at the beautiful princess opposite...
She was quite pretty today, but most of the limelight was stolen by the two high-level witches traveling with Prince Sean.
"I want to hear your opinion, Lord Brown!"
After taking a sip of hangover tea, Seriya still took the initiative to ask.
"It's very difficult!" was all he said.
"So what should we do?"
Seeing the other party's short reply, Seria became a little anxious. Among the royal ministers, Brown Ifri was in charge of the system and allocation of various local colleges. His power might not seem as great as those of the others, but he was in charge of the deployment and promotion of talents in the empire and was an indispensable figure for future deployments.
"Your Highness, we don't have much leverage to fight Prince Sean right now, and he currently has the most popular support. If you go against him now, it will not end well."
"But we can't just do nothing!"
After hearing this, Seria felt even angrier.
I have always thought that it would be fine if Mu Dan was the next heir contender, after all, I know that adult best. However, it is really hard to understand this cousin who suddenly returned. What he did, including his temper, is incomprehensible.
It’s too difficult!
"Of course not," Brown countered.
Since you have chosen to follow the other party, you will definitely give him advice.
"So what do you say we should do?"
"wait……"
"Wait? Wait until his power grows stronger?"
"Of course not. Even if Prince Sean's power is great, there will definitely be negligence. We can only wait for him to get into trouble." Brown said.
"I don't understand what this means." Seria looked at the other party.
"A prince who has reached such a high position at such a young age could easily lose his judgment. I don't believe he has the natural ability to control and take care of everything. Even the slightest bit of arrogance could cause him to lose himself. Your Highness, as long as you continue to follow his lead, perhaps the opportunity will come soon."
"What is timing?"
"It's hard to say now, but we will definitely find him when he comes!"
