As night fell, because of the day's victory, Kellogg ordered a bonfire party to be held in the open space outside the castle to reward the soldiers and have fun with the people.After the meritorious deeds were awarded, around the bonfire, the singing and dancing mermaids sang and danced, and their vigorous and beautiful streamlined figures drew beautiful arcs in the ocean.

At first, it was just a few mermaids dancing on the spot, but as if inspired by the joyous atmosphere, all the mermaids present danced to the music, and some mermaids even rushed home to bring a harp Flute and other instruments from the ancient earth period.For a while, the sound of silk and bamboo was heard endlessly, and as the atmosphere gradually increased, the music became more and more exciting, and the dancing postures of the mermaids changed accordingly, and the beautiful scales and cheeks all added a touch of warm light red under the reflection of the bonfire , extraordinarily dazzling and dazzling.

After the singing and dancing, the singing and laughing at the scene did not stop, as if thinking of something, Levin, who was young and also the new priest of the mermaid clan, saw Karl not far away, thinking about his My friend is the young man with the most moving voice in the entire mermaid clan, so he looked at Carl and said with a smile:

"Carl, you are the best singer among us. You used to sing on the altar every year during the sacrifices. This year, because you went to the Langman Empire, other people will do it for you. Why don't you take advantage of our greatness today?" If you win a complete victory, will you show off to everyone?"

"Carl, you sing so beautifully. The Marshal happened to be here today. He probably hasn't had the chance to listen to your singing, right? Why don't you take the opportunity to sing a song so that the Marshal can listen to it and let him know what the ancient earth said? "It's like listening to celestial music and your ears are temporarily bright."

"Yeah, we haven't heard you sing for a long time, but we really want to hear it."

……

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Levin's proposal, Karl was too embarrassed to shirk, so he walked forward amidst the booing of the mermaids, and stood in the circle surrounded by the mermaids.

Seeing the fishes in the audience looking at him, their eyes were shining like glass, and their eyes were filled with anticipation. Of course, Karl couldn't spoil their interest, but for some reason, there were so many people standing in the audience, but At this moment, Karl felt that he could only see Cromway in his eyes.It seems that the world is noisy and noisy, but he feels that only when he stands beside the other party will he feel that his world is bright and bright.

His gaze was indistinctly handed over to Cromway in the air, and Karl quickly retracted his gaze like an electric shock, and it was at this moment that he made up his mind, cleared his throat, and the melodious singing voice It has already poured down from the stage like a flowing stream.

Karl sang a song of the mermaid clan, and of course he used the language of the mermaid clan, but this song is extremely old, so many young people present have never heard of this song, but even so, see Karl While singing, his eyes kept looking at the place where Cromway was standing, and they all reacted, knowing that his song was specially sung for Cromway to listen to.

Although Cromway didn't know the specific lyrics of Carl's ballad, he seemed to have understood the meaning of the lyrics when he looked at the other person's eyes, so he also looked up at Carl.

As if being burned by the tenderness in Cromway's eyes, Karl quickly lowered his eyelids, his light golden eyelashes fluttered up and down like trembling butterfly wings, but flew again after a while, looking at Karl in the distance, And the butterfly also seemed to be accompanied by the singing, and slowly fell into Cromway's palm with a nine-song ileum-like friendship.

Under the stage, Cromway opened his palm and made a catch motion.

The singing voice went from gentle to passionate, and finally returned to lyricism. When the last note fell, the mermaids present felt as if their ears had been cleaned. Even though Karl had stopped singing, they still felt immersed in the song just now. I can't extricate myself from the sound of nature, it really is the lingering sound, which lasts for three days.

It wasn't until Karl bowed that the mermaids clapped as if they had just woken up from a dream, and the thunderous applause echoed in the deep sea.

"Carl, 'fake public affairs for personal gain' is not good~"

The next day, Carl bid farewell to his parents, and when he said goodbye to his friends, Levin half-jokingly looked at the two people who were glued together in front of him, while Carl lowered his eyes in embarrassment, but still held tightly He took Cromway's hand beside him.

"Okay, Levin, don't make fun of Carl." Knowing that Carl has always been thin-skinned, another friend, Simon, made a rescue, but he blinked his eyes and looked at the two with a smile. "It's just Karl, you must remember to invite us to your wedding with the Marshal."

Looking sideways at Cromway, Karl didn't say anything in the gentle eyes of the other party, but just smiled, a pair of beautiful eyes directly bent into crescents:

"Okay, definitely."

Silently watching the back of Cromway and Carl leaving, Levin and Simon looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, everything in their hearts was silent——

Ah, another wave of dog food, oh no, a day of fish food!

Freddy was getting older, and in recent years, ministers had been urging him to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible, and because of the coma in the cabinet meeting a few days ago, the documents and memorials for the appeal were piled up like snowflakes.

Last night, Freddy sat quietly in the study all night. When he seldom smoked, he got up in the morning, and the ground was covered with ashes. When dawn broke, Freddy urgently called a cabinet meeting and announced his The prince's decision will be made.

The news of Freddy's decision to establish a reserve was like a thunderbolt, which horrified the elders and important ministers who came to the cabinet meeting early in the morning. After all, they had urged many times before, but Freddy was still unmoved, but today he didn't know Why they were summoned together made the ministers unavoidably suspicious, but even so, they still waited quietly for Freddy's arrival.

After a while, Freddy came and took his seat at the main seat. The officials all saluted upon seeing this. Freddy waved his hand and signaled everyone to stand up. His eyes wandered over the people present, and he said slowly:

"You should already know why I called you here today."

Although everyone already knew that since Freddy called them here, he would definitely issue an edict to establish a reserve today. It can be seen that Freddy looked calm and seemed not at all anxious. Then asked:

"Your Majesty, dare to ask, do you want to appoint His Royal Highness Morris as the Crown Prince?"

Freddy frowned suddenly when he heard the words. Although he didn't say anything, the officials could already see from his expression that he was not satisfied with what he just said.

But most of the courtiers here didn't care about this. In their eyes, even though Freddie was not 100% satisfied with Morris, after all, he only had Morris as his son and had no choice, so he sent Morris It will be a matter of time before Reese becomes crown prince.

Under the sign of the eyes of the party members, an old man coughed lightly, turned forward and said:

"Cough...Your Majesty, pardon me to be blunt, even if His Majesty Morris can't say that everything is perfect, he is your only son after all. Why do you have any hesitation about establishing a crown prince?"

From an outsider's point of view, what the old man said is understandable, even the cabinet and even most courtiers in the entire empire think so. It is natural for a son to inherit his father's business, but Freddie is not happy when he hears the words. However, his brows were furrowed tightly, and the cloud on his face did not decrease in the slightest. He was obviously not satisfied with this so-called accommodating.

"In the ancient earth period, Yao and Shun abdicated, and sages lived there. Now we have entered the interstellar era, and in many ways are more democratic than before. Why do you say that?"

Seeing that Freddy's voice was slow and solemn, and he didn't mean to be joking at all, the courtiers were all shocked when they heard the words, they all got up from their seats and knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"This will cause turmoil in the situation. Your Majesty, please choose the crown prince from your own flesh and blood."

"According to what you mean, as long as it is my own blood and bones, no matter who it is, you can accept me as the crown prince?"

Hearing Freddy's rhetorical question, everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay. Freddy's descendants were few and far between, and according to the common sense ancestral system, only alphas were eligible to be canonized as Crown Prince. With such restrictions, only Morris was left fulfil requirements--

...Unless His Majesty has an illegitimate child that none of his close officials know about.

Seeing the ministers in the audience looking at each other, but their eyes changed, Freddy waved his hand and ordered the chief guard to bring a report and put it on the table for people to read. At the same time, he put his hands on the table and said slowly:

"Since this is the case, I think you should be able to accept my idea of ​​making Cromwell the Crown Prince."

"Cromway is also my son, and he is also born of the queen, and is my eldest son."! ! !

Freddy spoke slowly and calmly, as if everything was just going with the flow and as it should be, but all the ministers present sounded like a sudden thunder, which made them all stunned in place, unable to speak for a long time.

After a while, a minister finally realized his gaffe, and hurriedly straightened his appearance and went forward to look through the stack of documents, only to find that it was a dna test report, with black letters on a white background, on which it clearly stated that Cromway and Frey Di's DNA matches, in line with parent-child relationship.

Moreover, seeing that the surname on the report card was clearly written with the royal family's surname Owen, everyone seemed enlightened. Apart from complaining about their own carelessness, they also understood why His Royal Highness Morris would meet with Grace. It seems that Lun Wei's reluctance to deal with it is not only because he fears that the other party holds vital military power, but also because the other party is his biological brother who has the same possibility of succession!

"Your Majesty, when you say that Cromway's biological mother is also a queen, do you mean... the Empress Petunia who you succeeded to the throne?"

Looking at the report in front of them, they were stunned for a long time before the ministers found their voices. Although the old man in charge asked aloud, his expression still looked very dazed.

Freddy nodded.

"Exactly."

All the ministers looked at each other with complicated emotions, secretly thinking that Cromway's identity is indeed justified, and they had indeed heard that when Freddie was held hostage in the empire, his princess Petunia was born at that time They had a baby boy, but for so many years they thought that the other party should have passed away with his mother, but they didn't expect that he was still alive, and he was actually the same Karenway who stood in court with them and stood up to them.

All of a sudden, the ministers felt cold sweat dripping down their foreheads, and they couldn't help worrying that they had somehow offended Cromway before. If Cromway really succeeded in the future, how would they deal with it?

"Since everyone didn't speak, I thought you all acquiesced to this matter."

"No!"

As soon as Freddy finished speaking, voices of opposition immediately sounded in the room, and an important minister said seriously:

"Your Majesty should know, Keren Weiyuan... Your Majesty led the corps to aid Atlantis yesterday, even though the Elengar Legion was taught by him alone. He taught it, but it is also the legion of the Empire. He But to make such a claim without reporting it to His Majesty is obviously contemptuous of the imperial power and does not take His Majesty seriously."

"That's right. And Marshal Cromway is now willing to send troops to other countries to fight for Atlantis. When he really succeeds to the throne and proclaims himself emperor, what if he loses his country just to win the smile of the beauty? Your Majesty, you certainly don't want to Seeing the achievements of the meritorious wars accumulated by the predecessors go up in flames?"

……

For a while, the ministers present in the conference room were discussing and opposing words were endless, but Freddy sitting on the throne did not say a word, but all the courtiers who knew Freddy knew that his silence was not a compromise , but a more determined objection.

"Yesterday, the situation was urgent. Cromway did not have time to report it to me, but he immediately told me about it after the battle. Soldiers are precious and fast. I think everyone here knows better than me. What happened on the battlefield It never waits for anyone."

"And as early as when he took the post of Marshal, I have already told him that if the situation is urgent, he taught the Elengar Legion. If you need to send troops directly, you don't need to ask me."

Hearing Freddy's preference for Cromway, the ministers showed complicated expressions on their faces, and seeing that they still wanted to continue persuading, Freddy changed his calm expression just now and said sharply:

"Do you think Maurice will obey my words?"

After Freddy finished speaking, he sent several audio and document materials to the optical brains of everyone present. The courtiers opened them one by one, and found that there was conclusive evidence of all the evil things Morris had done over the years, including forming gangs. Pai privately sold official titles, including the attacks and framing of Cromway and Karl.

The ministers were astonished. They had thought that Freddy had turned a blind eye to these matters all these years, and he had tacitly agreed to them, but they did not expect that the other party would record everything.

Of course, it is very possible that Freddy did regard Morris as his successor at the beginning, but every time he did a wrong thing behind his back, it would make Freddy feel chilled, which finally led to this situation. At that time, the crown prince was changed.

"Which of his crimes is not enough to drink a pot? According to what you said just now, he is so arrogant and domineering when he is still a prince. How can he be worthy of being the crown prince in the future?"

Freddy took a deep breath, his sharp eyes scanned everyone present one by one, and he spoke harshly.

"This is the good deed done by the good Highness you elected. He is still a prince who is so cruel to Zhongliang and acts recklessly. If the empire is really handed over to him, then the empire will be really dangerous."

"But...maybe it was framed by someone with a heart?"

After all, they were worried that Cromway would retaliate against them after he succeeded to the throne. Although faced with such conclusive evidence, there were still courtiers who did not give up and continued to defend themselves.

"That's right, Marshal Cromway should have given you this. They have been at odds for a long time, so they will naturally find out what's wrong with His Highness and amplify it."

"No."

Freddy shook his head, slowly:

"Cromway never mentioned Morris to me. These are not what he told me...but I found out by installing a dark wire to monitor and investigate."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. They also knew that the royal family had no father and son, but they didn't expect Freddy to be so wary of Morris.

"What's more, don't you worry that if he is still a prince, he will kill Zhongliang like this, and when he really becomes a king, how will he treat you? According to his character, he will still be grateful to you?"

"He seems to be respectful and good to you now, but it's actually because you are still valuable to him, but Asuka is doing his best, that's when you really want to cry, and Cromway's character I think you all know that you have always been impartial, but you will treat everyone equally."

As Freddy spoke, his eyes swept over the people present. Knowing a son is like a father. His words hit the nail on the head. All the officials fell silent when they heard the words. In the end, he chose to remain silent and shut up resentfully.

Because of Freddie's strong opposition, the next day, the decree to appoint Cromway as crown prince was issued. The ceremony was also a grand ceremony for the succession of the crown prince. Almost all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the empire were invited. The scene was spectacular, and it was the most grand ceremony since Freddy succeeded to the throne in so many years.

Backstage, because of today's ceremony, Karl was helping Cromway organize his clothes.Cromway was a born clothes hanger. He wore a meticulously ironed dark blue military uniform on his body. With the snow-white scarf on his chest and the golden buckle and ribbon, his figure was even more straight and elegant.

In today's ceremony, Cromway will take over the sword symbolizing the crown prince from Freddie, so Cromway looks like he is wearing military uniform as usual today, but in fact, this costume is much different than Cromway's usual clothes. The clothes he was wearing were so difficult to wear that Carl had a hard time helping Cromway get them and all the accessories on.

Carl asked while tidying up Cromway's collar that needed to be tidied up.

"I heard that although His Majesty is determined to pass on the position of crown prince to you despite all opinions, there are still some ministers in the court who are dissatisfied."

"It's okay."

Hearing the worry in Carl's words, Cromway looked very indifferent, as if he didn't care about it. At the same time, he squatted down slightly for the convenience of Carl to continue tidying up.

"Actually, I don't have much thought about the position of crown prince, but if the situation is like this, I will also take this responsibility."

Although Cromway's words were indifferent, Karl knew that Cromway always kept his promise, and he would definitely do what he said, so he knew that no matter what difficulties and obstacles he would face in the future, he would definitely Will overcome many difficulties and carry forward the glory of the Langman Empire.

"I trust you."

Fastening the last brooch, Carl stood up and smiled at Cromway.

"But I want to interview, the ceremony is about to start, our omnipotent Marshal... No, should His Royal Highness feel nervous or afraid?"

Carl said half-jokingly, making a circle with his hand, and handed it to Cromway's mouth in the shape of a microphone.

Cromway thought about it.

"Maybe, but I feel that I have you by my side, but I don't feel so afraid."

"However, I do have a question I really want to ask you." Cromway looked up at Carl with sparkling eyes, "What do you mean by the song you sang to me?"

"Why don't you guess?"

He didn't answer directly, but Karl bent his eyes into a crescent.

"Sangzhong Saiben, right? It means light and love in mermaid language."

"How do you know..."

Seeing that Cromway knew the correct answer accurately only once, Carl's eyes widened, disbelief written all over his face.

He had always been shy, and the reason why he dared to sing a love song so boldly on stage was because he thought that Cromway would not know what he was singing about, but he never thought that even so, Cromway still knew everything.Suddenly, Carl felt as if his fig leaf had been lifted, and his face was burning hot.

"I love so much."

"Are you talking about the lyrics or..."

Cromway looked at Karl after hearing the words, and smiled slightly. There was endless tenderness in his ice-blue eyes, as if an iceberg melted and everything in the world grew green.

"Of course it's you, my little Highness."

"However, compared to these, are you ready for the wedding next month?"

Carl blushed again when he heard this.In the past, he never imagined that he would get married one day, nor did he imagine the appearance of marriage. Because of Lindsay's abuse of him in his previous life, he has always had lingering fears, and he did not dare to give his sincerity to others at will. But it will be full of scars.

But Cromway did not dislike his inferiority and fragility, but gave him warmth, and melted away his hedgehog-like defenses with love.

Before meeting Cromway, Carl never thought of getting married, and after meeting Cromway, the only person he wanted to enter the palace of marriage with him and live a long and long life was he.

Thinking about it this way, Carl, who once felt that the sky was unfair to him, suddenly felt that he was so lucky. He was given a chance to be reborn, allowing him to meet light and warmth, and he became firm and strong under this nourishment. Strong, even if there are any difficulties and obstacles, he will not be defeated.

It turned out that he had already used his luck to meet Cromway.

Just when Karl was dreaming, the guards came to announce that the ceremony was about to begin, and the main hall door was about to open, asking Cromway and him to get ready.

Nodding to the guards, the gate opened wide, the hall was crowded with people and brightly lit. Shocked by such a grand scene, Karl was a little at a loss for a while, but at this moment, his left hand was held by someone, and after regaining consciousness, Karl also exerted force on his hand, tightly wrapped around the opponent's fingers, and clasped his fingers tightly.

Immediately, the two of them held hands and strode forward. What greeted them in front of them was a vast light.
