These days, wives deliver to their door by themselves

For these servants, of course they hope that Prince Rogers will become king, so that these servants can get a lot of benefits from it.

So they definitely have a reason to attack Princess Hill.

"My thoughts are the same as yours. In fact, people around my brother have sent assassins to deal with me several times." Princess Hill was a little helpless.

"Then Prince Rogers, does he know?"

Princess Hill was silent for a few seconds before shaking her head, "No... I didn't tell my brother."

"Why? Tell him to take care of his own people."

"Because my brother supported me, he put him in a very embarrassing situation. I don't want to make it difficult for him to be a man."

Du Wei complained.

"Why weren't you born in my family, so that I have an ideal sister, it hurts! Princess Hill, you just stepped on the back of my foot hard, didn't you mean it!"

Princess Hill replied with a half-smile.

"You're thinking too much, you just accidentally took a step too fast."

This guy definitely did it on purpose!

"Forget it, anyway, be careful."

"Okay, so is Mr. Reading. After all, we can't tell what the danger Nawei is talking about."

After Du Wei nodded, a face suddenly flashed in his mind.

"That's right! One more thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Queen Keenos asked me to meet after dinner."

After hearing this, Princess Hill fell into a long silence. The dance was still dancing, and the movements were as standard as the textbook, but too standard made the dance lose its soul.

"Well, I see." After an unknown amount of time, Princess Hill finally responded.

"That's it? Uh... I mean, don't you remind me of something I should pay attention to?"

"To be honest, I don't know what she wants to do, but I trust Master Du Wei's ability to judge."

Are you so worried about him?

Du Wei shrugged.

"Okay then, I'll just take one step at a time. Now it's up to you to talk. I don't have anything else to say."

"I want to ask my father... what did you say to Lord Du Wei?"

Du Wei replied honestly.

"It's nothing, it's just some daily trivial conversations, but the content talks about you a lot, and it feels like he still cares about your life in the empire."

However, Princess Hill's reaction was beyond Du Wei's expectation. She looked at me with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't quite understand what he said.

"Are you sure Father Wang mentioned me in the conversation?"

"I'm [-]% sure, what's the matter? It's normal for a father to care about his daughter."

Even though this daughter often robs her subordinates, Du Wei always believes that the relationship between parents and children is stronger than anything else.

"Even before the accident, I haven't had normal communication with my father for several years, but now I suddenly inquire about my college life, don't you think it's strange?"

"Hey? The relationship between you father and daughter is so bad?" Du Wei asked in surprise.

Princess Hill snorted self-deprecatingly.

"Rather than saying that we have a bad relationship, it's better to say that we are strangers. Do you remember that I told you just now that my elder brother proposed to my father that I should succeed to the throne?"

"Oh, I just forgot to ask how the result was."

"The result? There was no result. The father ignored my brother's proposal, and from that day on, he treated my mother and I very coldly. Except for some occasions where the royal family must attend, we basically didn't even talk in private. "

"It's inevitable..."

Du Wei didn't expect the relationship between their father and daughter to be so bad, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"So you said that he showed concern for me in his speech...I really find it hard to believe."

"So when you came back this time, he didn't summon you?"

Princess Hill shook her head.

"No, so when I heard the news that my father, who hadn't appeared in front of people for a while, actually attended the banquet, I rushed to the venue in a hurry."

Well... It's a pity that it's still a step late.

Princess Hill continued.

"I'm thinking that maybe the father you met...King Kenos may be a fake. After all, the host of this banquet is the queen. No one knows what she wants to do."

"Fake?"

The slightly terrified expression of Queen Kaenos suddenly flashed in Du Wei's mind. If it was a fake arranged by her, then what would she have to be afraid of?

Du Wei shook his head.

"I don't think the king's appearance has anything to do with the queen. You were not there at the time, and the queen showed a disturbed expression when she heard the king's arrival. If you don't believe me, you can ask Flo. She was also present at the time and she must have noticed the queen's presence." Strange."

"If it wasn't the queen, who would it be? Is it really the father?" Princess Hill muttered.

"Could it be a conspiracy by other nobles?" Du Wei asked.

"I don't think it's possible. The Kingdom of Kainos is just a small country, and the number of nobles is actually not that large. I sent the church to clean up some of the restless ones, and the rest are powerless even if they want to."

"What about the foreign forces?"

"External forces? If you really want to say that there are some external forces coveting the Kingdom of Kainos..." Princess Hill did not say it clearly, but looked at him directly.

"Uh, don't you mean our empire!?"

241 Save Lao Tzu

Princess Hill replied.

"Although the Knox Empire is one of the most hegemonic countries in the Eastern Continent, it is limited to the interior. If it wants to develop further, it must obtain a port, and it must be a port that can become a military port."

"When you say that you need a military port for development, we have already ceased fighting..."

Princess Hill interrupted.

"Yes, there is a truce, but this does not mean that the empire does not covet neighboring countries."

Du Wei retorted.

"In addition to the peace agreement signed at the beginning, our empire has signed many cooperation and mutual assistance treaties such as trade agreements with neighboring countries in recent years. Isn't it enough to prove our sincerity?"

Princess Hill laughed mockingly.

"Indeed... On the surface, it seems that the Knox Empire has released great goodwill towards neighboring countries, but is this really the case?"

Du Wei frowned.

"What do you mean? If the empire really coveted the surrounding countries, it would have been enough to conquer them all at once. Why did they choose to stop the war?"

"That's because the land conquered by force will only be full of hatred and desolation. It will take a long time for the empire to restore its vitality. You should be very clear about this. Isn't there still frequent rebels up to now, and the evil disaster is just around the corner Right now, even if the empire is strong, it can't deal with the civil strife while fighting the evil disaster."

"Of course I know this, that's why the empire made friends with neighboring countries to share benefits and technology." Du Wei said.

Princess Hill sneered.

"Yeah... Alliance, sharing, and friendship, these high-sounding words are drugs that erode neighboring countries. When the surrounding countries can't give up the convenience they bring, will the Kainos Kingdom be the Kainos Kingdom at that time? Or should it be called a subsidiary territory under the empire?"

"This...you think the empire is too evil."

Princess Hill shook her head.

"I don't regard the empire as evil. Rather, I admire the vision of this Knox emperor. I would choose to do the same today if I were the Knox emperor."

Du Wei continued.

"But according to what you said, why does the empire need a fake king of Kenos? According to you, the kingdom of Kainos will belong to Knox sooner or later, so why bother now?"

Princess Hill explained.

"No matter how late it is, it can't be later than the time when the disaster occurs, so as soon as possible, the empire has a better way to get Kainos's military port and even his allegiance without any effort."

"Huh? In what way?"

"That is to marry the only son of the Farvin family who has royal blood to the princess of the Kainos Kingdom. This will not only greatly increase the favor of the Kainos Kingdom towards the Knox Empire, but also indirectly obtain the princess's support. Fleet and sea route information."

Princess Hill stared at him with some resentment.

Um?How to make it look like it was his fault.

"Ahem, isn't the topic going too far? Besides, there is no evidence to prove those speculations. Maybe the king is the real thing. Maybe he just wanted to come out to get some air because he thought he had been in the house for too long."

Princess Hill let out a long breath.

"Forget it, let's stop here, I'm a little tired too."

"Then let's make an end." After speaking, Du Wei guided Princess Hill to finish the ballroom dance.

However, just when the action was frozen at the end, there was a sudden warm applause from the venue.

Du Wei and Princess Hill looked around, the band had already stopped playing, and there were only two of them left on the dance floor, while the others gathered around the dance floor and applauded them.

……What's happening here.

"It's really a perfect match! You who are immersed in the world of two people are really a match! It's like a match made in heaven!"

Prince Rogers yelled loudly while applauding vigorously.

???

Leaving aside that idiot prince, it seems that he and Princess Hill were too focused on the conversation, they didn't even know that the music was over, and the people around them didn't dare to disturb them, so they became the two of them monopolizing the dance floor.

In the eyes of the people who eat melons, it becomes a pair of lovers immersed in the world of two people.

Princess Hill, who came over knowingly, covered her mouth and smiled.

"I don't mind people around me thinking that."

Du Wei rolled his eyes and said.

"You don't mind me, I do! Also, can I trouble you to take care of your elder brother, don't keep yelling at brother-in-law and brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law! You dance so beautifully, and being with Hill is like a famous painting."

Just as Du Wei finished speaking, the idiot prince led a group of people towards them in a yelling manner.

He speaks very loudly, and the word 'brother-in-law' is particularly pronounced, obviously deliberately shouting to the people around him.

Du Wei waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Don't flatter me there, it's weird."

Prince Rogers did not give up.

"This is not flattery, I'm telling the truth! Are you right?"

"correct."

"Special Envoy Duwei is a perfect match for our princess."

"Anyone who sees it will think so!"

A group of servants behind the idiot prince began to agree. For them, to let Princess Hill be with him is to drive away the obstacles to the prince's succession to the throne. Only in this way can they maximize the benefits of the prince's servants in the future.

Du Wei does not dislike this kind of behavior, after all, interests drive everyone, and he is no exception.

Just when he was about to stop these sycophants, a young lady who had only met once not long ago came in front of him.

"Master Du Wei."

"Oh, it's you, is your stomach okay?"

"Yes, yes, my name is Liz, thank you for your concern. The medicine is very effective." Miss Liz's face was flushed and she looked very irritable.

Prince Rogers on the side asked.

"Liz, what are you talking about?"

Liz replied.
