What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

But soon his plan died prematurely, no... it would be more appropriate to be stillborn.

Because before he had gone very far, people from Fomalhaut came to him. They were just like what Natsu encountered, they were elusive, but Domi had been like this for 12 years, and he had long been used to it.

"Young Master, the master of the house invites you to come over."

"just me?"

"The master of the house only allows you to go there alone."

"Okay...Natsu, why don't you sit in the living room for a while, I'll be right back."

Nats might have been panicked at first, but now after Ernest's strong pressure, he was almost immune to this little pressure.

"No problem, can I have something to eat? I didn't even have time to eat breakfast..."

"Of course, when you see the maid sisters, just go up and ask them for food. Our maid sisters are all very gentle."

After explaining everything, Domi came to Carlos's study and sat at his desk as usual.

"I'm going to the Royal City in two days, and you have to go with me." Carlos crossed his hands in front of his mouth and got straight to the point, without any preamble.

"Hmm...huh?! Why so sudden??"

"Xia probably has to come along too."

"That's okay~ No, that's not the point at all. Tell me why!"

Carlos lamented: "I don't know, but this is your grandfather's order. He insisted on letting me take you there."

If this was Ernest's order, then Domi would have no need to resist at all, because his little finger couldn't hold his thigh at all.

"Father, you suddenly want to go to the royal city. Is it because of what happened recently?"

"It's not a big deal. The empire has been at war in recent years, but the battle lines have been stretched a bit. Therefore, the treasury is a bit empty, there are a lot of loopholes, the troops are not enough, and there are a lot of complaints in the country."

Duomi couldn't help but twitch his lips after hearing this, "Isn't this a big deal?"What about a different world version of Emperor Wu of Han?

The military has been like this for at least one or two years or more than four or five years. He can guarantee that just one spark can set off a wave of revolution in the country and in the occupied areas, and the whole country will have a garrison named Han Guju.

"Aren't you panicking? There are so many serious problems."

"Domi, you are still too young. When you sit in my position, you will find that everything is different from what you imagined.

As long as the lowest and most critical problems are solved, the rest will no longer be problems. Crisis and other things are just tools used by politicians to incite people's hearts. "

"Then... what is the most important problem at hand?"

"Shouldn't you think for yourself?"

"But I haven't sat in your seat yet. How can I see so many things?"

Having said this, Carlos suddenly fell into deep thought, then clapped his hands, as if he suddenly realized:

"I think I know why the old man asked you to go to the royal city with me! In that case, I will also give you a task. During this period, go and get the answer to this question."

"I...uh...well..."

When Domi walked out of Carlos' study, his whole body felt bad. He suddenly felt that he was under a lot of pressure, as if the whole world was pushing him forward, and there was no time for him to take a complete rest.

"What's wrong? What did your father tell you?"

Back in the living room, Nats, who was enjoying his meal, couldn't help but ask when he saw Domi's sima expression.

"It's nothing, it's just one more item on the to-do list. Anyway, I already have too much debt! Haha...haha..."

There was the upcoming qualifying match, and then there was the intrigue in the royal city. He still had to find some kind of 'answer' from it. What was even more damning was that he was still burdened with a curse. Ten years later, he suddenly lost his temper. .

This pressure really changes every day!

Looking at the sickly Domi, Nats was a little scared, fearing that his string would break one day, so he picked up the old master's kitchen knife and chopped at him. After all, no one could beat him.

At this moment, Shia, who had returned to her homely style for a limited time, walked into the living room from the side, saw the two of them and said hello.

"Good morning Domi, and Nats, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Xia, Duomi immediately seemed like a different person, feeling that his whole body was full of hope.

As a bystander, Natsu saw it very clearly and secretly sighed. Sure enough, Shia was the only haven where Domi could rest his soul.

189. Chapter 186 185 Between the Thrones

Castle garden.

Spring is already halfway through, and it’s time for the flowers to bloom.

The spring plants carefully cultivated and placed by the gardener bloomed into an extremely beautiful scenery at this moment. Against the backdrop of pure white marble reliefs, the spring back garden is as beautiful as the mythical Garden of Eden.

Whether it's Gresa or the maids, they will come here to relax and enjoy the scenery when they have nothing to do. Even the air is filled with the fresh fragrance of flowers.

There is a swing built among the flowers. It was a place that the four brothers and sisters liked to come to when they were children. Now Duomi often brings Sia there.

At this time, a girl in a white dress just like a rose sat on it, and an equally young boy stood behind, pushing the swing forward step by step.

When the swing swings, the long and silky hair on Sia's back will rise up, giving Domi her unique smell and floral fragrance.

It's great to be able to stand in this position and see the cute ankles that are crossed and swaying.

It was almost a tacit understanding between the two of them that they would bring up recent troubling things when the atmosphere was relaxed.

Sia whispered while swinging: "What happened just now? Your face seems ugly."

"I really can't hide anything from you..."

Then Domi briefly repeated the task given by Carlos.

Sia listened carefully: "So that's it. Don't worry, I will look for it with you."

"So you will also go to the Royal City? That place you have always disliked."

"I haven't been back for a long time...but I have to go back this time so that my father, the king and the queen can see you~"

Sia always covered up this kind of thing in an understatement, but Domi knew it, but no one exposed it.

"It's just Xia, there's one thing I'm not very clear about."

"what?"

"Is the queen your biological mother? Just now you called your father the king, but when you talked about your mother, you called her the queen..."

Xia was silent for half a second, and then said calmly: "No, the queen is just my adoptive mother. My biological mother passed away when she gave birth to me."

Duomi fell silent after hearing this: "Sorry..."

"It's okay. The queen is very kind to me, but she's just a little harsh."

Duomi had heard this when he first met Sia. At that time, Sia had to receive boring and complicated super elite education in the palace every day, and only had her own free time at night.

Seeing Duomi's look of disbelief, Shia added: "Alger was also selected by the Queen from among many young people to be my guard. Although she is definitely not as good to me as the adopted daughter as she is to the biological prince, but I can also feel that she cares about me."

"All in all, the queen is a good person."

"That's good." Duomi breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, like a son-in-law who was about to come to meet his parents.

"By the way, where's Natsu?" Shia changed the topic just right.

"I'm probably still having breakfast in the living room. That guy has a huge appetite and has to eat a lot every day."

"Huhu~" Shia smiled slightly: "Then we go to the royal city, what will Natsu do?"

Duomi thought for a while: "There are still two days left. I will take him to have a good time here. As for whether he should go back to school directly or stay here and wait for us to come back by the way, and then go back to the academy together, let him choose. Bar."

"Then you have to cherish this time and don't let people down."

Duomi let go of the hand pushing the swing, walked quietly to Sia, took her little hand folded on her lap, pulled her up from the swing as smoothly as flowing water, and put her into his arms:

"No, it's us. Let's take Natsu to walk on the traces that we have walked before. I think that will be much more memorable."

Shia was stunned for a moment, and her mind couldn't help but flash through the scenes and everything Domi and the others experienced here. It was indeed quite interesting, and it felt like revisiting the old place.

"Ok!"

In the only two days left, under the guidance of Domicia and Morey, Nats visited the beautiful mountains and rivers of Blofeld in one go. By the time he walked there, he was already tired of aesthetics, and he wanted to lie in bed for ten days and eight days. months.

Then he took advantage of the situation and chose to stay in the castle on the mountain, 'eating and waiting to die', waiting for Domi and Shia to come back from the royal city and take him with them.

Two days later, in the early morning, the Grand Duke's super luxury carriage, which was exclusive to Carlos, was already parked at the door. Carlos knew that the three children still had something to say, so he walked up in advance.

It was rare for Nats to wake up early and come over to see them off.

Domi patted Nats on the shoulder: "Just treat this place as your own home, don't be restrained."

Natsu's shoulder was slapped loudly: "Don't worry, I have become familiar with many maid sisters, there is no such thing as restraint!"

Domi twitched the corner of his mouth: "You kid... you can talk to the other maids and sisters as you like, but you are not allowed to get too close to Kelsey and Catherine. If I find out, I will come back and kill you."

The moment the words came out, Duomi suddenly felt a soreness in the flesh of his waist. He turned his head with difficulty, and suddenly saw Shia's jealous face that was "forcing a smile":

"What, you still want to have a harem?"

"No, no, no... Shia, Shia, let go first! Listen to my explanation..."

"Come on, I'm too lazy to listen to your excuses, let's go."

As all the maids covered their mouths and chuckled, Domi was squeezed by Sia and got into the carriage, and was released in time before Carlos saw it, leaving Domi with a ferocious mask on his face, huffing and covering his waist. .

Carlos was also someone who had been through it before. He saw through it without saying anything. He just smiled with emotion and said, "Okay, let's go."

"Ah."

The person driving outside was no ordinary person, but someone like the captain of Fomalhaut who was second only to Altaïr.

He flicked his long whip and shouted with great energy:

"drive!"

The two horses neighed and advanced.

The carriage started to move, and Nats followed quickly, shouting loudly as he ran:

"Farewell Domitia! See you in a few days!"

Duomi also poked his head out and waved goodbye, and did not get back into the car until the moment he entered the teleportation array. The next second, the entire car was teleported down the mountain, speeding along the road towards the royal city...

"That boy should be the dragon-slayer magician you mentioned."
