Emperor Fire

Soso was arranged to sit next to Ciro, and Frank sat under Olivia, facing him.

Although Suo Suo had already had dinner before coming here, out of politeness, he still worked diligently to finish the food on the plate.

Queen Samantha and Olivia continued to chat, and the entire dining table was almost the only sound of conversation between them. Ciro only occasionally interjected a few words, and Frank and Soso were only responsible for smiling.

After Suo Suo managed to finish the main course, he saw the attendants dutifully serving dessert.

The red and white pudding looked like a shy beauty, beckoning to him implicitly, but there was really no space in Suo Suo's stomach.He looked at the "beauty" very sadly, and really wanted to smuggle it back quietly for supper.

Just when he was struggling, Olivia's topic suddenly turned to the parliamentary voting situation, and the originally happy atmosphere gradually became dignified.

Frank expressed his position in a timely manner: "The Richard family will definitely fully support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

In fact, he was not surprised that the family had made such a big change.After all, the Richard family, like the Danya family, has always maintained a low-key and conservative neutral line.But all this changed after Queen Samantha came back. The fog that had shrouded Grandpa for a long time disappeared, like a blazing sun piercing through layers of high clouds, making him refreshed.

He once asked his grandfather why he did this, and his grandfather replied meaningfully: "It's time to make a choice."

Choose Ciro at this time?

Although between Ciro and Castaron II, he is also inclined to choose the crown prince.But he felt that the time was not ripe enough. Castaron II was still the Emperor of the Empire, he was in good health and in power.In nearly ten years, it is impossible for Shiro to inherit the throne, unless...

His pupils suddenly dilated.Could it be that this is the reason why the queen was so eager to answer the imperial capital?

"Frank?" Seeing that he didn't respond, Olivia raised her voice and said, "Frank de Lo Richard?"

Frank returned to his senses in a hurry, "Yes, Dean!"

Olivia said: "What are you thinking?"

Frank said: "I'm thinking about how to get the Danya family to stand by our side."

Yes, he shouldn't doubt the family's decision, what he has to do is how to accomplish the family's goals.He is a member of Richard's family. From the moment he was born, his future, his glory, and his lifelong ideals were tied to this chariot named Richard. Its direction was his direction, regardless of the enemy ahead. who is it.In fact, for so many years, successive emperors have always been jealous of the major families. The difference is that some emperors showed it like Castaron II, while some emperors just hid it in their hearts and secretly guarded against it.But the facts proved that the emperor's worries were not unreasonable, because there was a rebellious purpose within the Richard family that could not be exposed - even if the empire perished, the family must have a long history.

In their minds, the family is only an existence attached to the empire, not an existence subordinate to the empire.When the interests of the Empire and the family are aligned, they will go to great lengths to serve the Empire.But when the interests of the family conflict with the interests of the empire, they will not hesitate to choose their own family.

Although Frank didn't know whether the purpose of the other two families was the same as theirs, but judging from their decisions and actions, it should be similar.This is also the reason why the three major families can still stand firm and even grow stronger even when many families are in decline.

"Have you figured out a way to get the Danya family to our side?" Queen Samantha asked with great interest.

Frank replied veiledly: "I thought maybe there should be a way of cooperation that interests them."

Queen Samantha smiled and said, "For example?"

Frank was questioned.

Olivia rescued her students: "The God of Light will get involved in the affairs of the empire too much, which is tantamount to weakening the weight of the three major families. I don't think the Danya family will be happy to see this."

Queen Samantha said: "But there are three of the three major families. Your Majesty can promise them that only the other two will be weakened. In this way, the Danya family may become the head of the three major families, or even the only one." Super family."

Olivia frowned.This is indeed a very attractive condition.

Frank asked himself, if it was such a condition, would the Richard family possibly accept it? ...or at least hesitate.Could this be the reason why the Danya family recently showed their closeness to King Castaron II?

Ciro said: "It sounds beautiful, but it is very difficult to do."

Olivia and Frank suddenly woke up from Queen Samantha's words.Yes, Castaron II's promise has no guarantees.The ambition of the God of Light is definitely not just to suppress Richard and the Trozzo family.

Olivia leaned back and said with a half-smile: "It depends on Murdoch's IQ."

Murdoch Danya, the helm of the Danya family.

Seeing Soso eating the pudding in the bowl little by little, Ciro pushed his own pudding away with a look of reluctance, "It's okay, there is more."

Suo Suo's face wrinkled, and his eyes were full of hesitation.

Ciro lowered his head and found that one of his hands had been pressing on his stomach, he couldn't help worrying: "Is it uncomfortable?"

Sosuo pursed his mouth, "I ate too much."

Olivia raised her eyebrows and said, "So greedy? Is the school's food so bad?"

Ciro stood up and said to Queen Samantha and Olivia, "I'll take him for a walk." He walked behind Soso, gently pulled his chair away, and led him out in embarrassment.

Olivia suddenly said with emotion: "He has changed a lot."

Queen Samantha took a sip of her saliva and said calmly: "He hasn't changed, but the object has changed."

Olivia smiled in a low voice, "It's very rare for a person to meet someone who can change him."

Queen Samantha rang the bell.

The butler came in and waited for orders.

"Have the guests not arrived yet?" Queen Samantha asked calmly.

Frank felt a silent pressure pressing on himself, although it was unintentional, he felt as if he had glimpsed a small corner of Queen Samantha's heart that was not well known.

Olivia put the napkin next to the dinner plate, stood up calmly and said, "Let's wait in another place."

The moonlight fell, hit the branches, and shattered to the ground.

The two figures walked slowly over the moonlight shards.

Xi Luo took Soso's hand and asked, "Is it better?"

Soso nodded, "Thank you. Sorry, I was rude again."

Ciro said: "No. The queen mother will be very happy to know that you like it."

Suo Suo thought about it, but decided to confess, "Actually, I already had dinner before I came here."

"Oh. That's right." Shiro didn't ask him why he didn't say anything after eating, because he knew the answer very well in his heart.Although after returning to Van Riel, Soso never personally said that he would stay, nor did he personally agree to his marriage proposal, but his actions all showed that he was striving for the approval of the empire.Does this mean that his heart is covered by a ring like his fingers?

"Suo Suo..." He turned his head, but saw Suo Suo looking into the distance absent-mindedly, following his gaze, he just saw a carriage driving along the carriageway in the middle of the garden towards the palace.Despite the distance, nobles in the imperial capital like to design unique carriage styles to show their status.If he read correctly, this carriage came from the Danya family.

Murdoch still came to the appointment?

Xi Luo pulled Soso back with big strides.

Seeing him walking in a hurry, Suo Suo said, "Shall we use wind magic?"

Shiro froze for a moment, then stopped.

Sosuo hugged him, muttering something.

The warm wind gathered by the fire elements sent them to the door in an instant, just in time for Otis who got off the carriage.

"Your Highness." Otis's stern face was like ice that would not melt for a thousand years. Even when he saw the noble heir of the empire, he did not have any emotional ups and downs.

Ciro smiled and said, "You should have come earlier, the veal steak tasted very good today."

"That's such a pity." Otis said coldly, and walked in behind him.

Queen Samantha and Olivia had indeed shifted positions, moving from the inside of the room to the outside.

The attendants lit silver candlesticks for them, and placed lilies in full bloom beside the seats, forming a vivid and beautiful picture together with the beautiful lady, the free and easy female magician, and the gentle noble boy.

"I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the appointment in time and missed your dinner." Odis said coldly as he stood behind the lily.

Ciro and Soso found two places to sit down beside the white hollowed-out round table.

Queen Samantha hooked her fingers on the handle of the coffee cup, and said slowly: "It seems that I have to repair my head. I thought the guest I invited was Murdoch?"

Otis said neither humble nor overbearing: "Grandfather has entered the palace to meet His Majesty."

It is definitely not a wise thing to mention Castaron II at this time.Frank suddenly had the urge to rush forward and let him eat this sentence back.

But Queen Samantha was not angry.She nodded in understanding and said, "Then there is no other way. Please sit down."

Otis hesitated for a while when choosing a seat.Although the table was round, Frank and Soso did not form a circle, but remained parallel to Olivia and Ciro. In this way, Otis could only choose to sit next to Soso or Frank.
