Macho Wars

In the palace, the nineteen princes of the empire and a dozen princesses have gathered together for a long time. Except for the youngest prince Andy, the nineteenth prince, the other eighteen are all grown-ups and are usually scattered on the borders of the empire.

These princes did not all have ambitions for the throne, but formed three or five small groups with several major candidates as the core.

With the aging of Sidney XIV and the grievances accumulated over the years, these half-brothers have long wiped out their childhood affection.When everyone met, the relationship was not so stiff, and they barely shook hands without a smile, and greeted a few "long-suffering greetings."

And the poor relationship, just a collision of eyes, can burst out a strong smell of gunpowder.

In contrast, although the princesses may seem amiable at first glance, the actual struggle is not weaker than that of the princes.Especially those princesses who have been married have fully proved what is meant by "spilled water". Every elbow is desperately working outwards, putting the interests of her husband's family above all else.

Staying in the middle of this group of sisters, Alicia could clearly feel a kind of "distance".Although everyone is congratulating themselves for finding the wishful man, only a few are sincere, and others are obviously sarcasm and sarcasm.

And the other one who was excluded was Enfia.

But different from the past, Enfia had a proud expression on her face, while the other princesses, who were already mothers, stared at her with gnashing teeth, like enemies.Alicia on the side saw all this in her eyes, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

When school started in early September, John, who had experienced military life for a whole month at the First Marine Division summer camp, returned to Brewster Elementary School where he was studying with a wheaten skin.

The kings of children who had bullied him before saw that John was drying like a tea egg, and walking with his head high, looking very "arrogant", so he immediately sprouted.

These school bullies took advantage of the lunch break and blocked John in the school garden, asking him to shout "My mother is a bitch" three times, and show him good looks if he doesn't.

In the face of such bullying, John, who has been reborn, used the "negotiation skills" he learned from the military instructor on the spot, and talked about "collapsing" the nasal bridge of the opposite leader with just one move.

Little children have never seen this battle, and when they saw the leader, they were knocked down like this. They fell on the ground with blood all over their faces and disappeared on the spot.John immediately took advantage of the victory and chased him, just like chasing a rabbit, the gang of bear children who chased him all alone and fled.

And the parents of the child who was beaten up came to the school, and Enfea said in front of them with a very wicked smile.

"The kids are just playing, don't be so serious!"

Chapter 395

The royal family of the Sidney Empire has gone through hundreds of years and more than a dozen generations. It has spread to the present. Not counting the remote branches abroad, there are tens of thousands of members of the direct line and main collateral lines in the empire.

With such a large family, it is naturally impossible for members to be really close to each other.Once it comes to power and interests, whether you are family or blood, all become worthless.

In the eyes of children who should be innocent and innocent, the words and deeds of parents and elders often become the object of their imitation, and then bring these rights struggles to the campus.

It's a pity that these little boys, who are only seven or eight years old, generally don't have an adult city, and they don't know what to say and what not to say.

At this royal gathering, John and his sister Connor also attended with their mother.Due to the recent school fight incident, Little John suddenly became famous this time. Many princes and nobles have heard from their children about his heroic deeds of one enemy and five.

Little John was very worried at first. In the past, he had been swallowing his voice in the face of bullying, but he found his parents to get out of his head but in exchange for cold violence.Now he finally rose up to resist, thinking that he would incur more serious revenge, but the result was completely contrary to what he thought.

When the arrogant little overlord fell to the ground with his nose and tears begging for mercy, most of the silent students in the school were cheering for him.

This reminded John of what his idol General Li once told him when he was in the summer camp.

"If you don't even have the courage to protect yourself, then most people will not choose to be friends with you. And those wicked people will not necessarily bully the weak, but will never let the cowards go."

Now John can say that this is a big deal!

Thinking back to the time in the summer camp, Little John thought he had a very precious memory.Although the military training is very hard, but the gains are quite rich, but often I can see my idol.

Sometimes John couldn't help but think of it in his mind, if General Li could be his father, it would be great.

Thoughts couldn't help flying again, just as John was in a daze, a hearty male voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Haha! Isn't this the little gladiator we have recently made a name for themselves? It's only been a few years, and it has changed a lot!"

Hearing this voice, John was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around, standing behind a tall handsome mature man.

Little John vaguely remembered that he had met this person, but for a while he couldn't remember what the other person was called. Fortunately, his mother Enfia reminded him in time.

"John, Connor, say hello to your Uncle Filavi."

"Hello, uncle." x2

When reminded by his mother, John and Connor hurriedly saluted each other in accordance with the etiquette of the noble children.

John then remembered that the other party was His Royal Highness Filavi, the prince of the empire. When the two met last time, John was less than five years old, so he didn't remember very clearly.

However, compared to other royal relatives, Firavi was in the eyes of brothers and sisters John and Connor, who was not annoying.

Filavi's attitude towards the two little guys is very gentle, and the smile on his face is very contagious.However, anyone who knows him knows that the great prince is a famous "smiling tiger". Among all princes, his city is the deepest, and it is often unpredictable.

The arrival of Firavi caused many eyes of the audience to follow the Enfia family.Some people are speculating that the eldest prince may be trying to win over the nine princes who have always belonged to the neutral faction.She was just a navy colonel and a widow who had lived as a widow for many years.Two consecutive failed marriages left her behind without a strong husband to take care of her, and naturally no one wanted to come and win her over.

But now the situation has changed slightly. Enfia was promoted to brigadier general a few months ago, commanding an amphibious fleet independent of the naval establishment, and its influence naturally came up.

However, some people think that the real goal of the eldest prince is not Enfia, but the eleventh princess Alicia who stays with her.

There are rumors that Alicia’s fiancé Dragon Lee was highly appreciated by King Sidney XIV and Howard, and intended to train him to become the “military god” of the next generation of the empire. The old emperor wanted him to enter. Paving the upper floors, even married a princess.

Although many upper-class nobles thought this rumor was too ridiculous, they criticized it by citing classics.

We must know that from the beginning of the empire to the present, there has never been a "grassroot minister" of civilian origin on the court.If Dragoon can really accomplish this feat, the impact will be more than just an "inspirational role model" in the eyes of a commoner.

In the past few decades, the old emperor has been in power deliberately to promote such a development, and sincerely welcomes it.

Seeing the attention gathered around him, Enfia was not happy because of the attention, but felt a little irritable.

In today's empire, the battle for the crown prince has gradually become a fierce stage, and powerful competitors like Firavi are standing on the cusp of the storm.Forming an alliance with them is of course possible to obtain huge political benefits in the future, but this is actually a kind of venture capital, and it is not impossible to lose all money in the end.

So people like Dragon and Enfia are very wise to choose to be a neutral party.As long as he has real talents and learning, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, even if he can't become a close minister, he won't have to worry about being liquidated because he stood in the wrong team before.

Fortunately, Enfia didn't take long to perfuse, the master of the royal banquet tonight finally came out.Sidney XIV held the new princess Karen, who was not yet married, in his left hand, and the real queen Susan in his right, and appeared in front of many royal families in a soaring posture with "wings".

The old emperor looked at his full house of descendants with a satisfied smile on his face.He had the same experience in the conflict between his sons, and he felt like Ming Jing.

However, in this "lion group" called the royal family, no matter how many sons he has, in the end, only one can inherit his throne.

Therefore, Sidney XIV deliberately did not establish the reserve early, but allowed the princes to fight with each other, forcing them to fight for the throne, and finally decide the strongest one.

After nearly ten years of competition, Sidney XIV, who has been observing in secret, has long understood the problems of his sons and has a best candidate.

If nothing else, he will officially announce the crown prince’s candidate and abdicate after completing his wedding with Karen.

According to the decree of the empire, the emperor who voluntarily abdicated will continue to serve as the regent for three years, so as to complete the handover with his successor in order to allow certain unfinished policy and decrees to continue.

Thinking that he would be free soon, although Sidney XIV was still reluctant to give up power, at least he did not regret it.

"Tomorrow's military parade, I really look forward to it!"

Chapter 396: Military Parade

In the early morning, with the first ray, the Sidney Empire ushered in the most important day of the year-the national celebration.

Many people came to the stations on both sides of Meritorious Avenue and Victory Avenue early one day in advance, while most powerful nobles gathered on the better Kaixuan Avenue, which is facing the gate of the palace, which is the entire military parade. The best place to watch.
