Rise of the Plants

"It's still a dance after all." Chi Nan thought silently in his heart. It seemed that for these nobles, any banquet was a dance. It's the same whether it's for auctioning items or mobilizing before war.

How much do these people like to dance? Or is it because there are too few entertainment programs and they can only vent their excess energy through dancing? Chi Nan complained in his heart.

"I didn't expect so many people to come today. There are so many nobles in the royal capital." Looking at the dense crowd, Chi Nan didn't know how many people had arrived.

Numisi whispered: "Of course, what do you think? Today is a war mobilization. Except for a few who have other things to do, most of the nobles have arrived. Even some nobles from other areas near the royal capital have arrived. The news has arrived. Have you seen those people? They are not the local nobles of the royal capital."

Chi Nan nodded, somewhat understanding in his heart. Not long after, almost everyone at the banquet arrived. The figure of the king appeared on the balcony on the second floor of the castle, facing here.

All the people stopped and looked at the king. The king started a speech loudly, first of all, a pre-war mobilization, and then he reviewed the glorious history of the entire kingdom and talked a lot.

However, after hearing these things for the first time, Chi Nan felt as if he was enjoying them, just like reading a history book. Others are not that interested, perhaps because they are too familiar.

"Then, now the banquet begins, let's all have a good time before the war." The king finally said, and left with the support of his attendants, without even leading the dance. There is no way, the king is too old. On the dance floor, another young man and woman were leading the dance.

Chi Nan knew them. They were the second prince Keya and the second princess Suleix who appeared next to the king during the meeting that day.

"Let's go too." After waiting for a while, Numisi said. Chi Nan nodded and found that he seemed to be getting used to this kind of aristocratic communication, that is, dancing and the like.

"Sure enough, such a dance is still meaningless. It's better to go home and study my plant weapons."

Chi Nan murmured in his heart. At this time, Numisi had been taken away by several other noble ladies, and they didn't know what they were communicating with. Chi Nan, bored, slowly walked into the garden and began to study the plants in the garden. Many of the plants that can be planted here by the king are very rare and valuable, although they may not be of much use.

I don't know how much time has passed, but just when Chi Nan was about to become addicted, Chi Nan suddenly felt a figure approaching him. Chi Nan turned around and saluted quickly: "I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess."

That's right, it's the eldest princess Carolis. Carolis was wearing a red evening dress today, with the ruby ​​​​on the well-made necklace on her chest shining brightly, and she felt an aura of nobility.

Carolis looked up and down, and finally nodded slightly: "Yes, he is indeed someone who can be favored by the third sister. Are you interested in joining me? With your ability, we will definitely be able to work together. Expanding territory, maybe you will be the Duke of the next kingdom." Is it really okay to be so direct from the beginning?

Chi Nan also felt the princess's strength. After thinking about it, Chi Nan said, "Can you allow me to think about it."

Carolis said indifferently: "Is it because of Sophira? After all, it was Sophira who promoted her. As a half-elf, she will definitely not violate her oath."

Chi Nan didn't understand what was going on. "Well, today is just a test. Since you don't want to, there is nothing you can do. You can tell Sophira that I am not my enemy." After saying that, the eldest princess actually turned around and left, making Chi Nan even more worried. I can't figure it out. Is this princess here to win over me? Why is she so casual?

Chi Nan shook his head and did not continue to study further. Instead, he continued to study the precious plants here.

But not long after, another person approached here. Chi Nan sighed and could only continue to salute: "I have met His Highness the Second Prince." Yes, it was Kea who came this time.

"Haha, I've heard about Earl Chi Nan for a long time. It's a great honor to meet him today. I was busy with my affairs before and never had time to visit him in person. It's also a fate to meet him here today."

Visit in person? A prince, or a prince with real power, Chi Nan would not believe this. "Haha, Your Highness is joking." Chi Nan did not answer, ready to see what this guy wanted to do.

As expected, Keya did not keep himself waiting for long, and said directly: "This time, if there are no accidents, you will definitely appear on the list of expeditions. The battlefield is too dangerous after all. Although it is easy to obtain military honors, for Your Excellency It’s not a difficulty for me. On the contrary, participating in this war will attract a lot of people’s attention.”

"Your Excellency, are you interested in joining our security department? I can guarantee that you will get the position of deputy minister of security. You may even become a powerful figure in the kingdom in the future."

Another one came to win over him. The eldest princess promised the future duke status, and this one promised a real power official position in the future. Could it be said that the battle for the throne has reached such a fierce level?

However, Chi Nan had already made up his mind to go to the front line and didn't care about offending anyone. "Can you let me think about it?"

"Then let's think about it here. There's plenty of time anyway, but the list will be coming soon."

Chi Nan frowned, feeling a little annoyed when facing this scorching second prince. "I suddenly felt that it would be good to go to the front line and win glory for the country." Chi Nan was too lazy to continue to make excuses with him.

"Are you sure you really want to refuse my friendship? If you refuse this time, you will offend more than one or two people in the capital." It was really straightforward. Chi Nan felt that the second prince did not seem to be very... Value yourself.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the second prince, the power of the royal capital is the most important. Chi Nan waved his hand: "I'm already sure. After all, I'm from the third princess's side. It's not good to rashly seek refuge with others."

"Really, then I hope you will always be on the third sister's side. At least this way, you will not become my enemy." It seems that the third princess does not pose any threat to them, at least that is what they think in their hearts. of. However, Chi Nan was still a little annoyed, and the second prince was a little too self-righteous.
