These days, wives deliver to their door by themselves

"how?"

Du Wei leaned over to Roland and said softly.

"Uncle is going to pass on to me the family secrets."

"...What?" Roland was confused.

"Anyway, you'll know when you go."

Roland sighed.

"Then take your car."

"Okay, but didn't you come by car today?"

Roland did not answer his question, but gave instructions to the guard just now.

"I'll go back in Du Wei's car, and you can use the car I brought to escort Miss Selona back to the dormitory."

The guard replied respectfully, "Of order."

I am afraid that many wealthy ladies would never have dreamed that the luxurious carriage of the imperial prince would pick up a serf-born girl to go home one day.

This is the reality version of a sparrow turning into a phoenix, but it is not necessarily a good thing, if it is seen by the daughters who have a crush on their cousin...

Female jealousy is terrible.

Selona, ​​who came back from collecting the scattered documents, happened to hear it, and she quickly shook her head to reject Roland's proposal.

"His Royal Highness, there is no need to be so troublesome. The dormitory is not far from here, and I will be there in a short walk."

Roland insisted.

"No, since I asked you to help, I must send you home safely."

After that, the two declined several times, but Selona refused to agree no matter what, and finally ran away.

On the carriage, Du Wei looked at Roland's expression more thoughtfully.

"Tsk tsk, there hasn't been much progress in this period of time, so it's time for you to decide who is your destiny."

"What? What is your destiny?"

Du Wei poked at the nonexistent air glasses and said.

"It's the empress of the palace! The prince of the dignified Noxus empire has no fiancée until now. If this continues, there may be rumors that you like men."

Roland rolled his eyes.

"At that time, I will be the first to suspect that you are the instigator of the rumor."

"It's too much. We've known each other for so long. Am I the kind of person who would do that kind of thing?"

"Obviously, that's the kind of person you are."

"Don't change the subject, so who is your destiny? Who will be the future princess of the empire? Is it a genius serf girl or a blood princess?"

However, no matter how Du Wei pressed him in the car, Roland just refused to say who was his destiny. He was really a man who was not straightforward.

Finally they came to the palace.

"Brother Du Wei, long time no see."

A cute loli saluted him with a doll in one hand and a skirt in the other.

"Alice, my sister!"

Hearing the word "brother", the excited Du Wei immediately rushed over and hugged him in his arms.

"It's my cousin." Roland added.

"Don't worry too much, huh? Alice, you seem to have grown taller."

Alice blinked.

"If I don't grow taller, I will be very troubled... Didn't Lily come?"

"I'm sorry, Lily's child has returned to Faerwen's hometown."

"That's it." Alice's eyes sank slightly, and she could see that she was very disappointed.

The little princess has very few playmates because of her special talent for shadows, but Lily can always find the little princess for some reason. Coupled with her lively and cheerful personality, the two quickly became good friends.

Du Wei comforted me.

"Don't be sad! My brother will have fun with you today!"

Roland coughed dryly.

"Du Wei, we're not here to play, have you forgotten the purpose of our coming?"

"But what about Alice! How can I leave her alone! My brother was born to make my sister happy!"

"..."

"Ah, what are you all doing in the hallway?"

A beautiful woman walked over, and she was the queen of the Knox Empire.

Du Wei said seriously.

"We are discussing the adoption of Alice to the Falvin family."

Roland "..."

The aunt replied solemnly.

"That's not okay, unless I exchange Lily's child with me."

Roland rubbed his temples as if he had a headache.

"I began to wonder if Du Wei was the mother's child, but I was actually Aunt Mei Yi's child."

Du Wei chuckled.

"How is this possible? My personality is so similar to that of my mother."

Aunt also nodded.

"Roland, you think too much. Your strict personality is obviously inherited from yourself."

Alice "..."

Roland sighed.

"It doesn't matter anymore, let's get down to business quickly, Du Wei, stop playing."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Du Wei rubbed Alice's head.

"Don't get discouraged, you'll be able to stay with Lily all day after school starts."

"Okay." Alice nodded obediently.

"Woohoo, who said we have to wait until school starts."

My aunt took Alice's hand and said.

"We're going to play with your Aunt Mei Ye in Farvin Territory now."

After sending the queen and princess away, they finally came to Emperor Knox's office and study.

Du Wei looked around.

"Your Majesty's study is really as messy as ever."

There were discarded papers scattered everywhere, and the desk was full of official documents stamped with the emperor's seal. As for the uncle himself, he was lying on the desk and sleeping soundly.

"Really...don't go to bed either."

Seeing this, Roland sighed helplessly, and summoned an attendant who was passing by, and sent someone to clean the study.

Du Wei walked up to his uncle and shook his shoulders.

"Your Majesty, wake up quickly."

Although the man in front of him was the most powerful man in the Eastern Continent, the first thing he did when he woke up was to yawn indistinctly like the uncles who can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

Uncle looked at them listlessly and said.

"So you're already here."

Du Wei sneered.

"As soon as I came, I saw His Majesty sleeping."

Uncle smiled wryly.

"I'm just taking a break. I didn't go to bed until after two o'clock in the middle of the night at work last night, and I have to get up at six o'clock in the morning to continue reviewing documents."

Du Wei was confused.

"It's not all peaceful now, why are you still so busy?"

"It's not all about you."

"……I?"

What does it matter to him?He is just a noble young master and not an imperial official.

"As far as those alliance treaties you signed."

"Oh, so it's those, but I probably didn't sign the terms that are not good for the empire. Aunt Edith was also there to check."

Uncle said seriously.

"It's true that most of the terms are fine, but this is not the key point. I appointed you as a diplomatic envoy because of the strong request of the elf kingdom. As far as the results are concerned, it can be said to be very satisfactory. Leaving enough achievements to be recorded in the annals of history, but not everyone is happy with this result."

"Huh? What does this mean? Is someone jealous of me?"

Uncle shook his head.

"It's not so much jealousy as it is that you broke the rules of the game."

"game rules?"

Roland explained.

"The Farwin family is in charge of the empire's military system, the Herbert family is in charge of the empire's economy, and the Weitz family is in charge of diplomatic espionage. The three major families of the empire also represent the three mainstream factions. Now you should understand right?"

Du Wei frowned after thinking for a few seconds.

"In other words, my mission disrupted this balance, which caused the Weiss family where Olivia belongs to be dissatisfied with me."

Uncle laughed.

"Strictly speaking, it is not the Weiss family, because I have informed Ms. Weiss beforehand. As the Duke of the Empire, she naturally understands the importance of it. The real trouble is the other conservative nobles."

Roland said.

"The reason why these aristocrats joined the Conservative faction was to gain more diplomatic benefits than other factions, but this time all the benefits were taken away by you, the military representative. You don't think anyone will jump their feet ?"

Under his uncle's reminder, Du Wei realized that he was no longer the ordinary noble young master, and his every move might have an impact on the family and even the entire royal party.

"Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. Nobles are really troublesome, so what should I do?"

Dealing with these people, Du Wei was really helpless.

Uncle laughed.

"Don't worry, it's been dealt with. The marshal and the dean chose to go to the Northland when you were on the mission. It was a vacation in name, but in fact it was to sign some cooperation agreements to appease the conservatives."

"Uh, I'm still wondering why the two of them chose to go on vacation in the half-frozen Northland. So that's the reason."

Roland said.

"You have to thank Olivia afterwards. She is always helping you talk. Among the conservatives, her words are even more important than the marshal and the dean. No matter how dissatisfied the members of the conservatives are, they will always You have to give her face, after all, she is the next Patriarch of Weiss."

"Oh, she didn't tell me about it She treats me so well, she doesn't like me."

"..."

After that, the uncle didn't bring any guards, but led them around the palace alone, and Du Wei was almost confused.

"Roland, where is His Majesty taking us?"

The size of the palace is very large. Even though Du Wei often came to play with Roland since he was a child, the roads he can recognize are probably not half of the size of the palace.
