Skeleton King

Ace's soft curly hair was combed back into a big back by Princess Muse's maid, and Princess Muse also directly pierced Ace's ears with silver earrings, and put on crescent-shaped earrings.

The original words of Princess Muse are, "It is perfect to match your star pendant."

Princess Eugenia gave Esther a dress. The black satin was embroidered with a sleeping lion with silver thread, which looked luxurious and low-key but also noble.

Neither Ace nor Carl Caesar thought that Princess Eugenia was the handkerchief of Princess Muse, and they had a very good relationship. Even Princess Muse did not hide from Princess Eugenia about Phil Finger.

And Carl Caesar was also controlled by Princess Eugenia. After knowing the true identity of Ace, it is even more impossible for them to let the people of the Pansy Empire establish a chamber of commerce in the Finger Empire.

These days, Bill follows Ace and takes care of his diet.In the Forbidden Magic Circle, the Lich can't make waves, and Princess Muse is still very relieved of Bill.

Alter is in the residence of the Golden Lion Knights in the palace. The Golden Lion Sword Master will monitor Alter and ask Alter to train the knights of the Knights.

Ace was trained by Viscountess Austin in the back of the palace.

Mrs. Austin is an aristocratic lady in her early 40s and the best etiquette trainer in the Finger Empire. She taught the etiquette of Princess Muse and Prince Bartholomew when they were young.

The Viscount Austin is also a well-informed noble lady. She was born in a noble family with a long history in the imperial capital of the Finger Empire. In the history of the family, there have been many ladies with both ability and political integrity. With an extraordinary temperament, she was able to get engaged to Viscount Austin, but when she saw Phil Finger, she still felt momentarily in a trance.

The end of the smooth black hair is a small braid, under the smooth forehead are a pair of bright eyes like stars, the light green eyes exude a gentle light, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips are like the juice of roses.But the Viscountess Austin dared to swear on her family's honor that this was Prince Phil's original lip color, and he just looked so foul.

When he stood in the hall, it was like the most elegant prince in the history of the Finger Empire walking out of the oil painting.He actually has noble, elegant, intelligent, and wild temperaments at the same time, and these temperaments do not affect each other, but blend together perfectly.

So unbelievable, but also so desirable.

Viscountess Austin murmured: "All noble girls in the imperial capital will want to marry Prince Phil when they see him."

Princess Muse smiled, she would not find a powerful in-law for Ace.

When Ace saw Princess Muse and Viscountess Austin slowly looking over, Viscountess Austin felt her heart beating very fast, as if she had returned to her girlish moment.

Princess Muse showed a satisfied smile.Maybe Ace didn't notice it himself, but at the banquet, when Princess Muse saw Ace for the first time, she found that Ace's eyes were quite majestic, and there was a faint sense of oppression wherever he went. The temperament of those who are in the top position.

This is not something that young people from commoner background and raised by minor nobles can have.Princess Muse couldn't imagine that other than the Finger family and the Pansy family, there was no other family on this continent whose blood could bring such majesty.

So Princess Muse had a brilliant idea at that time.

Princess Muse abandoned the puppet she had cultivated for a long time, and spent a lot of money to "conquer" Ace. Although she almost failed, in the end, she was still the one favored by the goddess of luck.

Compared with the variables that Ace may bring, the doom caused by her puppet being discovered by the people of Magic Island is even more unbearable.

Ace walked towards Princess Muse. Viscountess Austin saw how he walked, and said softly: "I heard that Prince Phil once worked as a mercenary for a while. He is a brave young man. But it's not good in the palace. Such casualness still requires some etiquette training.”

Princess Muse smiled and said, "I'll leave it to Viscountess Austin."

Viscountess Austin said softly, "It is my honor, Your Royal Highness..."

Princess Muse left the ballroom, which is where the royal palace holds banquets, where Ace will receive individual instruction from Viscountess Austin.

Princess Muse circled around again, walking from the stairs outside to the second floor of the ballroom, where Princess Eugenia was standing, watching the two people below.

The Viscountess of Austin didn't know Ace's true identity. The story of Phil Finger had already been known to everyone in the imperial capital, and everyone believed that he was the old king's illegitimate son.With the old king unconscious and Prince Bartholomew dead, everyone would be happy to see the Finger Empire have a new, legal heir.

Viscountess Austin arrived at the palace, further verifying this rumor.

Although Princess Muse put a star pendant on Ace, which perfectly imprisoned Ace, Princess Eugenia was still worried.

She worried that Ace would send news to the Pansy Empire regardless of her own safety.

Princess Muse walked to Princess Eugenia, "Eugenia, don't worry so much, the Ace scholar is not as loyal to the Pansy Empire as you imagined. Otherwise, he wouldn't think about smuggling."

Princess Eugenia said: "Muse, I always feel that Ace scholars are not so easy to be controlled. Smuggling in the Pansy Empire is a serious crime that will be hanged, and I can feel that he is not a greedy person. A person. A person whose weaknesses, desires we don't know, who acts illogically is dangerous."

Princess Muse didn't seem to hear the advice of Princess Eugenia, she grasped another key point, "Eugenia, you haven't called me by my name for a long time. I thought we wouldn't have a reconciliation That day."

Princess Eugenia's black eyelashes drooped down. Although the old Duchess Black was a well-known beauty when she was young, Princess Eugenia did not inherit her beauty at all. She looked very similar to her father, With a long horse face, her fiancé used to tease her, nicknamed her "Horse Face".

Princess Eugenia didn't resent Princess Muse for killing her fiancé because of his stupidity and self-righteousness. In her opinion, such an idiot was a waste of food to live.

But Princess Eugenia will not forget her despair and helplessness when she saw the body of her fiancé in the tavern, and the cold voice of Princess Muse, "You can come to the palace to find me. There will be no one can hurt you."

……

"You know, Muse. My mother will never forgive me. She will be tortured by her kindness until the day she returns to the dead. It was me. I made her bear the shackles of sin." Eugene Princess Nia was extremely scared at the time. At that time, she was just an ordinary noble girl with low self-esteem, sensitivity, and a little business talent.

At that time, Princess Eugenia's biggest dream was to marry a husband of the right name. If her husband was loyal and dedicated, she could live happily.

But she did get a confession from a distinguished person, but it was someone she never expected.Although they have endless topics to talk about and many similar hobbies, their love does not conform to universal values.

Princess Eugenia flinched.She fled back to the Eiffel province, and even agreed to her father's suggestion to re-engage to her cousin.

……

After witnessing the death of her fiancé, Princess Eugenia hated the person who ruined her peaceful life, and the only way she could think of was to ask the old Duchess Black.

Only with the help of the old Duchess Black, can she cover up all traces before the patrolling knights arrive in the city, and it is impossible for the old Duke Black to know that the death of his nephew is related to his beloved daughter.

Of course, the old Duchess Black didn't know who was actually doing it.

The kindness of nature, loyalty to her husband and love for her daughter made the old Duchess Black feel painful and difficult to make a choice. Although she finally decided to help Princess Eugenia, Princess Eugenia knew how much her mother had at that time. hate her.

After experiencing the successive deaths of her fiancé and her father, Princess Eugenia really grew up. She no longer envied the beautiful clothes of those beautiful noble girls, the admiring eyes of those noble youths, and the singing and dancing balls.

Princess Eugenia put on a simple dress and went to the farmland of Black Manor to have dinner with the farmers, talk to them and listen to their opinions.She participated in the investment of various projects in the Finger Empire, which made the gold coins of the Black Manor grow exponentially.

Princess Muse said softly: "At that time, I thought you would come to beg me."

Princess Eugenia wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh.Princess Muse is so arrogant.At that time, she was too cowardly, she was a person who adapted to the rules rather than breaking them, and she was full of prejudice against all kinds of crazy ideas of Princess Muse.

In the ballroom, Ace was standing and walking according to the Viscountess Austin's request. He learned quickly. When he danced the waltz with his arms around the Viscountess Austin's waist, he looked more like a prince than Bartholomew.

Princess Muse looked away from Ace, she looked at Princess Eugenia, and said: "The Chancellor of the Exchequer submitted his resignation to me today. He is already 72 years old. The empire's finances are too complicated. He has no Enough energy to take care of so many things. Eugenia, are you willing to help me? Be the new Chancellor of the Empire."

"What do you mean?" Princess Eugenia's hand was still on the railing, she seemed not aware that Princess Muse was looking at her, staring intently at the two dancing people in the ballroom, "The Empire never appeared A female chancellor."

Like the Pansy Empire, the most honorable position under the king is the prime minister, but the difference is that the businessmen in the Finger Empire have a very high status, and the Finger family also started their business, and the position of the Minister of Finance in the Finger Empire is only Yu Prime Minister.

Some strong chancellors of the exchequer in history have even been able to evade the prime minister.

"Eugenia, my ambition has never been hidden from you. I believe that you know what I want better than anyone else." Princess Muse said: "In the history of the Pansy Empire, there was Queen Catherine, and the Finger Empire Why can't there be a Queen of Muses. I am also a child of my father.

If the nobles of the Pansy Empire have no sons, they can let their daughters inherit the title. Why can't our empire do it.Eugenia, you are obviously the only daughter of the old Duke of Black, and the old Duke of Black would also like you to inherit the title, but due to the law, he cannot do so.

In order to protect your future life, he has to marry you to someone who obviously doesn't like you!Just because he wants to inherit your father's title and property? !How ridiculous!How unfair!

I want to change all that.

But I can't do it alone.

Eugenia, you have that talent, that talent, don't drown it, come help me.

Let's create a brand new empire. "

Princess Eugenia felt that the blood in her heart was getting hotter, but her reason suppressed it forcibly.

"Let me think about it," she said.

……

"Brother Phil, you are not a scholar now. What you need to know is not the painter and origin of this painting, but to learn to appreciate it." After finishing the etiquette course in Ace, even the extremely demanding and picky Viscount Austin After his wife couldn't tell his imperfections, Princess Muse began to teach Ace how to appreciate paintings, music, and food.

This is not a problem for Ace, the scholar's erudition is all-round, and some paintings in the Palace of Finger are famous in history, and Ace talked about them very well.

But Princess Muse is always dissatisfied, and she can't say what she is dissatisfied with.

Thanks to Ace for being a good student with perfect comprehension.

Ace looked at the exquisitely framed oil painting in front of him. There was a cabin behind the large golden wheat field, and a farmer was working hard in the wheat field.

Ace's expression was arrogant and picky, "This farmer exists too much, he ruined the beauty of the whole painting. I need someone to copy this painting and get rid of this farmer."

"Yes, I don't need you to tell who the painter of this painting is, you just need to criticize or praise it." Princess Muse nodded, and suddenly said: "Well, your aesthetics is also good, this farmer The existence of it is indeed redundant. But even a work of art does not have to be perfect.”

Princess Muse looked back at Ace again, her eyes were a little probing, "However, I think your expression is very familiar."

Ace rolled his eyes and said, "I'm imitating you, Your Royal Highness Princess." That picky and arrogant look.

Princess Muse gave Ace a cold look.What she needs is a prince, at least looks like a prince, not an obedient coward.

Although Princess Muse didn't deny Ace's words in her heart, she still decided to make trouble for Ace.

"You have almost learned etiquette and appreciation." Princess Muse said: "Although you are also familiar with history books, I think you still need to take some political lessons. I found that your vision in politics is really average."

Ace frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Why should I study politics?"

Princess Muse said: "In another three months, there will be a ball, and I will announce your identity. You are the son secretly raised by my father and king, and his education for you is like educating a real prince. In this way, you Only in this way can the people of the Finger Empire be blocked, and your succession will not bring too much opposition when the time comes."

Of course, Princess Muse thinks that the best way is for the old king to be "in a coma" forever, and Ace is just a decoration, used to appease people's hearts.But no matter what, she has to be prepared.

Princess Muse said: "So, you must have very good political qualities."

"At that time, the people from Magic Island will also come. They may appear in a fair manner, or they may mix with other nobles. I must ensure that you will not show your feet during the entire dance and in various occasions that require you to appear in the future. Otherwise, I will let you know how painful it is to live." Princess Muse said.

"Oh my God." Ace is tired of these courses, he wants to learn something, and someone is holding a gun to his head and asking him to learn something, these are two completely different feelings, "You can't Are you ready to speak and let me recite it?"

Princess Muse said viciously: "Because I am the only one who will accompany you in acting, and Eugenia at most. It is impossible for me to let all the nobles in this empire play house with you. Enough gold coins can make anyone in this empire speak. You It's best not to believe anyone!"

Ace said: "Do you think this is really good? If something happens to you one day, based on what I have learned now and my identity, I can even really ascend to the throne."

Princess Muse said calmly: "The only thing we can control is when we are alive. After I die, whether this empire will be destroyed or will usher in a prosperous age, it has nothing to do with me."

Ace was even more surprised by Princess Muse's next words, "If there is a day, if you want to be the throne, you can be the throne. As long as you don't let the pansy flag hang on the territory of the Finger Empire, neither will I What's there to hate on you. You give the Finger Empire to the king of the Pansy Empire, what can the Pansy Empire give you? Will they give you the throne of kings, or will they give you something bigger than the Finger Empire? manor?"

No matter how profound a scholar is, Ace can boast.

But meeting Princess Muse, who thinks like a powerful and unconstrained style and is completely unconstrained by various traditional concepts, Ace is completely speechless except for being dumbfounded.
