Your Majesty, drink the medicine quickly

Chapter 276 The dean is nothing!
Duke Alfred was in a daze as the loud scratching sound resounded on the prince's face.

At this moment, he actually remembered a joke that Prince Arthur Ulric had just told him.

It's about a madhouse.

The empire's lunatic asylum was actually a monastery for the treatment of epilepsy. The deans and doctors in the courtyard are the priests and monks.

[Well, this prince likes to tell jokes about the madhouse. 】

[The story goes like this - there is a famous lunatic asylum in the City of Auroville.

One day, the imperial envoy sent by the emperor suddenly had a whim and wanted to inspect the lunatic asylum.

The dean and the senior officials in the hospital were frightened to death when they heard about it. He hurriedly called everyone in the courtyard together and held a meeting.

During the meeting, the dean told the patients: "In the afternoon, very important leaders are coming to visit. They all stand at the door to welcome me! They must stand neatly! I cough and everyone applauds, the more enthusiastic the better. I stamp my feet and must Stop everyone! No one can make a mistake! If you behave well, you will have ice cream tonight. If someone messes up, no one will have ice cream. Remember?"

The patients in the audience shouted together: "Remember!"]

[In the afternoon, the leader came. When the director coughed, all the patients applauded enthusiastically. Infected by the warm atmosphere, the leaders also walked through the door with smiles and applause. 】

[Seeing that the leader has already entered the door, the dean hurriedly stamped his feet. All the applause stopped, but the leader was the only one who continued to applaud and move forward with a smile on his face. 】

[The dean is very satisfied. 】

[Suddenly, a tall and heroic patient burst out from the welcoming crowd. He rushed up, grabbed the leader by the collar, and gave him a few big blows. He shouted angrily: "Do you want to eat ice cream?"]

["So, Your Highness Alfred, no matter how well prepared you are or how well you create the situation, there will always be some crazy people who don't know how to live or die to cause trouble - crazy people should be locked up in the ward." At that time, the prince said this. 】

Alfred believed that the prince told this story not because he was obsessed with a place like the lunatic asylum, but because he had a profound meaning.

He compared the empire to a leader, compared himself, the person who manages the Tadar Kingdom, to the dean, and compared the Violet Man and the Tadar Man to the lunatic who does not know how to live or die.

After hearing this story, the Duke knew that it would be difficult for the kingdom to pretend to be surrendered in order to delay the start of the war.

It's all that damn Dante's fault. If this devil who was causing trouble hadn't put forward a condition to him that he had to agree to, he wouldn't have moved the matter of the title of 'Duke of Thorns' so early according to his wishes. On the table, it intensified the conflicts between the two countries.

The conflict has completely intensified, but the Duke is still trying his best to persuade the Prince.

Because the kingdom takes time.

As the leader of the mission and the emperor's confidant, the results that Prince Ulrich brought back after his trip could influence the attitude of the empire to a certain extent. At least it can help delay some time.

Therefore, the kingdom deserves to spend a huge price on this person. And the Duke was mentally prepared to be stabbed severely.

The good news is that Prince Ulrich is rumored to be a very greedy man.

The bad news is that Prince Ulric in front of him is even more greedy than the Duke imagined.

Moreover, how short of money is this guy? !
He actually didn't want any of the land deeds, manors, and castles within the empire that he had spent a lot of money to prepare!
All the rare and exotic treasures that he had prepared for him were rejected!
He just wants gold!
What else can you say about gold, a rare thing born in the explosion of a supernova. It is one of the most romantic currencies in the universe. If you can’t afford anything else, just use gold.”

To be honest, although Prince Ulric acted very greedy, the Duke felt that this guy was very petty.

Because the number he reported was not high. Not as good as one-third of the gifts I prepared.

However, how can there be so much gold in the kingdom? !
What does he want with so much gold?
Oh, by the way, he gave a reason - "You know, Her Majesty Andaya Nair, the Queen of Pain, likes to do research, so I followed her lead and set up some laboratories. Many materials need to be imported from outside the realm, and those Guy, only gold.”

The Queen of Pain is doing research to study the old gods! Why are you joining in the fun?

His team has this ability. Do you have this ability?

Besides, such a small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket, right?
Of course, even if it’s just a drop in the bucket, the kingdom can’t afford it.

In the kingdom, there are all kinds of mineral veins, but there is no gold mine.

The Tadar people don't use gold, and the Violet people don't use gold. There is very little gold among the people, and there is very little in the royal treasury.

What's more, the time given by the prince is still very short, indicating that he has to leave tomorrow!

Otherwise, you can think of a way.

Just when the Duke was trying to persuade the Prince to stay a little longer, the good son-in-law rushed in and gave him a few big blows.

Originally, the prince was becoming increasingly impatient.

Now, things are definitely blown.

His son-in-law slapped not Prince Arthur in the face, but the empire's face. Prince Arthur would definitely not let it go like this.

The Duke could already guess how Prince Arthur would report his trip to the Emperor when he returned to the Empire.

"Earl Joseph." Prince Arthur looked outside the study door, stared at the stunned knight here, and said with a smile: "Please close the door. I have important matters to discuss with Lord Nip. Don't let outsiders in. "

Duke Alfred: "?"

Li Pu stared at the great swordsman of the Fallen Empire who was curiously watching the excitement outside the door and sneered.

Joseph was stunned for a long time at the door. He looked at the people in the study, and then at the mysterious swordsman opposite him who covered his face and pretended not to see anything, and finally chose to close the door.

'As expected of His Majesty Nip! After beating the prince, the prince helped smooth things over, and the guards pretended not to notice! '

With a bang, the study door closed.

Prince Arthur looked at Duke Alfred with a smile on his swollen face.

"Oh, that's it, His Highness Alfred. Lord Nip is actually my elder and the partner assigned to me in my organization. His behavior just now was actually the secret code for our connection. "

"Well" the Duke looked at the prince's red and swollen face and said with a slight hesitation: "Arthur, are you sure?"

"Haha, my dear Alfred." The prince smiled calmly: "I am not so confused by a few slaps that I recognize people randomly - the world thinks that I am loyal to the emperor and the Queen of Pain. Some people think that I am loyal to the emperor and the Queen of Pain. People who know more may also know that I secretly serve several other His Majesty. But in fact, I am loyal to the Forbidden Sanctuary."

The prince looked at Duke Alfred: "Your Excellency Nip is actually a colleague of my father's."

He emphasized again: "Those slaps just now were the secret code of communication between us - I really wasn't confused."

"Well, Arthur, I believe you won't lie to me about this matter. After all, with your strength, you won't be stunned by a few slaps."

The Duke nodded numbly and said: "But the code just now was a bit too unique."

Duke Alfred didn't know if the prince was stunned, but the Duke felt that he was fooled.
