My Magic Age

I had imagined many versions of meeting the Prince of Wales, but I never imagined that he would just ride a horse and stand under the sycamore tree. He would not curse or yell in anger, nor would he punch or kick without saying a word, let alone With hysterical tears streaming down his face, there was no arrogant sarcasm. He was just like a gentleman, quietly stopping under the tree, looking up at the red-haired beauty on the terrace, and giving her a soft greeting.

Catalina bit her lip, and glanced at me secretly with her charming big ruby-like eyes. She saw that I was looking at her curiously, and her face was as red as drunkenness, but she didn't answer Prince of Wales's greeting. He nodded nervously and hurriedly ran into the house.

Sitting up from the lounge chair, I asked Prince of Wales: "Would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea together?"

I originally thought I was just being polite to him, but I didn’t expect that when he heard my invitation, he jumped off the horse. Under the gaze of little Ella and Deborah, he opened the courtyard door and walked in, sitting on the chair next to me. Come down.

He has an angular face, a high nose, deep and blue eyes, sunny and handsome. He wears a set of hard leather armor with magic patterns and an exquisite long sword on his waist. Whether he is sitting or standing, he has a royal look. of aristocratic style.

Ella took out a cup of herbal tea from the kitchen in the house and stood aside, looking at Prince of Wales curiously and timidly with wide eyes.

Prince of Wales turned his head and glanced at little Ella, which immediately made the little girl in front of him turn red and run away like a gust of wind.

He smiled and said to me: "A very cute orc girl! Is she a mixed race?"

"Well, her mother is now my follower. Her father is the son of a farmer in El City. He died when she was very young. She was an obedient and good child." I said to Will After Si said this, he didn't know what to say anymore, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.

For a moment, I had mixed feelings in my heart. I thought of how enthusiastic Prince Wales was when he met me for the first time. He patted his chest and said to me: I heard Ying Li talk about you, and I support you. come on!

Later, at Prince Eric’s ball, Duke Ryan and I fell out. Prince of Wales chose to side with me without hesitation and said to Duke Ryan’s head: Jijia is my friend, please. Duke An let go.

I know that was obtained in exchange for victory in the Battle of Kemperto.

If Prince Wales was just a person who had nothing to do with me, even if he was the king of the Green Empire and a major lord of a separate country, I wouldn't be so short of breath, but he is standing behind Ying Li. That person, Prince of Wales gave me a lot of help because of my relationship with Ying Li.

And now, no matter what, his engagement with Qige has been terminated. There may be other factors involved, but the reason that led Qige to make the decision is me.

"I'm sorry..." I really want to turn into an ostrich right now and stick my head in the sand.

"Why do you say that?" Prince of Wales smiled, his voice a little dry, "Do you think it's pitiful for a prince to be abandoned? It won't be as bad as you think. Those who want to marry me Wealthy ladies can surround Weiyang Lake hand in hand, but I am the most promising prince in the empire."

That's right, this summer, the only one who shines brightly in the Green Empire is the member of the Angel Bould family's royal family. He has almost become a well-known star in the imperial capital.

He reached out and patted me on the shoulder, and said to me: "Don't put on a show of bitterness."

I gave him a forced smile.

People who have never experienced it will never believe that the Prince of Wales is actually a talker.

He sat on a chair, took a sip of tea with honey, and then began to say: "Actually, the engagement between Qige and I is no longer something we can control. It involves many aspects and many things. The most important thing is the interests of the two families. The purpose of establishing a marriage contract between us was to strengthen the relationship between the Angel Bald royal family and the Aetia royal family, so someone stepped forward to facilitate this matter. "

"It's just that when someone starts to realize that after I combine with Qige, a new force will be formed and I will become Green's second Prince James. For many lords, this is the last thing they want to see. , so someone stood up to obstruct it.”

There was a kind of pride in his eyes that only belonged to the royal family, and he continued: "No one dares to stand up and accuse Uncle James because he is in charge of the Southwind Army and is the lord who can withstand the anger of Uncle James. There are only a handful of them in Green.”

"Jijia, you probably don't know that the power of the dukes who occupy the empire's provinces will expand rapidly after they own the vast territory, but no matter how powerful they accumulate, they still just do what they do honestly. Lord Greene Empire, the most fundamental reason is that Charles is in charge of the Royal Constructed Knights Legion, while Uncle James is in charge of the South Wind Legion."

I rarely hear people talk about the secrets of the royal family. I heard Prince of Wales Qingkou say this. It is true when I think about it. No one hopes that the power of the royal family will be too strong. This will only make the lives of the dukes in the imperial capital who own large territories Have to be on tenterhooks.

Wells said to me: "These two powerful forces, whichever one is used, will pose a fatal threat to the dukes of the empire."

"The Royal Constructed Knights, directly commanded by His Majesty Charles, use most of their power to protect the imperial capital and the plane occupied by the royal family. Although Uncle James's South Wind Legion resisted the Naga Sea Clan in Haiyinsi City, In fact, the deterrence power of the South Wind Legion does not end there. At least five of the great lords who rebelled against Green and were conquered by the South Wind Legion over the years were guillotined."

Having said this, I secretly froze in my heart. I didn't expect that the prosperity of the Green Empire could hide so many secrets.

Wells said: "These dukes already have two swords hanging over their heads and absolutely don't want to add a new one."

"Qige's crazy potion helped me turn the tide of the Battle of Kemperto, and it also became the catalyst for our engagement. Many Dukes probably don't want to see a young Royal Knights grow rapidly with the support of new magic potions. stand up."

"In the past few years, they underestimated the power of a magic potion, but now, they never want a magic potion scholar with such achievements to only provide magic potions for the royal family! Haha."

"Qige and I are the victims of the game between the dukes who own large territories and the royal family. They prefer that Qige and I break up completely. This is more in their interests, oh, it is in the interest of everyone."

There was a hint of helplessness in Prince Wales's eyes. The interests he mentioned probably also included the interests of the Angel Bould royal family and some interests of the Qige family.

Katerina walked out of the house at this time, carrying a large fruit plate and a bottle of golden cider. Little Ella followed Katerina carrying a bucket filled with ice cubes. The two of them put these things up. , turned and left without saying a word.

Deborah stood at the door, looking curiously at Prince of Wales's black horse.

…

"I have lived in the palace since I was a child, and I am used to seeing the court ladies' eagerness for men. It's ridiculous."

"At that time, I spent all day in the palace learning various noble etiquette, geography, astronomy, history, swordsmanship, etc. My daily life was completed by looking at the schedule in the grid. You probably can't imagine what life in the palace would be like. It was so boring. Later I met Qige at the dance. She said she was from the United Kingdom of Aetia. She liked dancing very much at that time. She taught me how to dance with different steps. Naturally, we became very good friends. ”

"She is different from other girls in the palace. She was born with magical powers and likes to dance and travel."

"During my coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen, I asked Qige for her personal maid Singer, which completed my transformation from a boy to a man. Not long after, she quietly followed a song and dance troupe. Stan City in the dwarf country, I haven’t seen Singer since then.”

"I heard from Caterina that she was married to a leatherworker who already had several wives."

"Everyone has the right to choose happiness, but I don't know why the leatherworker was able to give her the so-called happiness."

"Later Qige returned to the imperial capital and completed her studies at the Royal Academy of Magic. At the Royal Academy of Magic, she won the title of Potion Scholar with a few academic papers. At that time, I knew that she seemed to be waiting for someone. ”

"After she graduated from the academy and joined the Imperial Magic Academy, I found a good opportunity to express my love to her."

"That night, a group of our friends gathered together to chat and drink. Later, when everyone had dispersed, I mustered up the courage to tell her: If you can't wait for the person in your heart, why not marry me."

"She kept smiling crazily. I thought I had failed, but I didn't expect that before she left, she actually said to me: Okay then!"

"There is such a tradition in Green. After many people get engaged, the woman will send her personal maid to the man to enhance their relationship."

I thought about Noah, the bar mitzvah that Noah attended last year, and the relationship that Noah established with Shirley Newman this year. Noah went to Shirley's house as a guest, and was approved by Shirley's family. Then Shirley asked her personal maid to sleep with Noah at night. It seems that this is a tradition in the Green Empire.

"At that time, Qi Ge's most favored personal maid was Catalina. Qi Ge told me that Catalina has been waiting hard for someone in the past few years. Although she has reached the legal age to marry, she doesn't want to marry so early. I just married myself out to avoid the laws of the empire and slowly waited for that person to appear. I am related to the Duke of Samoyed by marriage, so I sent Catalina to the Duke of Samoyed’s military camp.”

"I just didn't expect that the person Catalina is waiting for would be you!"

I smiled awkwardly and told Wells some of the things I experienced in the wilderness at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau. I talked about the first time I killed someone, and it was a gray dwarf. I was so frightened that I continued to I had nightmares for two weeks. Catalina was in the magic caravan, taking care of me day and night. Our group successfully crossed the Beiyu Wasteland.

Prince of Wales sat aside and listened with great interest. He said: "Qi Ge has never told these travel experiences!"

Unknowingly, Prince of Wales and I drank the entire bottle of golden cider. I wanted Caterina to take out another bottle, but Prince of Wales waved his hand and said, "I will bring it tomorrow." I am heading to the Kenda plane with the knights. I came to see you today not because I want to talk to you about these things. The purpose of my visit this time is to ask you..."

I became very nervous for no reason, thinking that Prince of Wales was going to ask me: Who would I choose between Qige and Yingli?

My heart was beating wildly, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat.

Just listen to the Prince of Wales ask: "Do you really don't need me to tell William? Now my Constructed Knights will rush to the Wala Valley to resist the Hell Demon together with the Moh Army. If it can be done, this time We are going to temporarily seal the passage there and liberate all the legions stationed there by the Mo family."

"The duel agreed between you and William can be canceled with just a word from the elders of the Mo family." Wells rubbed his hands and worded his words carefully, perhaps because he was worried that I would feel embarrassed. "Maybe next time we Bring the young man from the Mo family for a cup of tea to ease the relationship? "

"..." I looked at Prince of Wales speechlessly. These words did not seem to come from a love rival. Did I hear wrongly? Or is this a knightly virtue?

I shook my head firmly.

Wells didn't force me anymore, he just said, "Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you too much."

At this time, he was ready to stand up and walk out.

But then he stopped again, turned to me and asked: "One more thing, you have to tell me honestly, do you know where Ying Li is hiding?"

Prince of Wales asked me again: "Is she safe there?"

I nodded. I felt like I was really dumb.

Wells finally showed a look of concern on his face, and then asked me: "How is she doing these days?"

I thought for a moment and said to Prince of Wales: "It's okay. It's a very nice place there. If nothing unexpected happens, I can see her tomorrow. Is there anything you need me to bring to her?"

Wells pressed his forehead in distress and said to me: "If you can, please tell her to go home early. No one can interfere with her thoughts, and no one will deprive her of her freedom. Yes, I am making a request to you as a brother: You must treat her well. If you dare to make her sad, I will come back and beat you up no matter where you are. "

…

I watched him walk under the plane tree at the door and get on his horse.

Just before he wanted to leave, he seemed to have thought of something and said to me: "Oh, by the way, let me tell you one more thing. Uncle James has arrived in the imperial capital, except maybe my father, His Majesty Charles. , the person he wants to see the most is you! You have to be well prepared and don’t lose points in front of Uncle James at this time.”
