They don't want me to work harder

"No buts."

Richard patted the little maid on the shoulder, and there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Katyusha saw that her prince was like this. Although she was still confused, she had no choice but to turn around and leave. When she left, she was still guessing:

Does Your Highness have something to hide?

How can I help relieve my worries?

But Richard had no time to care about the maid's thoughts.

He quickly closed the door and walked to the cloakroom.

Due to the consistent frugality of the Connaught royal family, the cloakroom is not large and there are not many clothes in it.When Richard came in, he saw Luvia and Alice, each leaning on several dresses, looking at each other from a distance of one meter.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was silent.

But the silence was deafening to Richard.

In a daze, he saw a big word "death" in mid-air.

Three seconds later, he couldn't hold it in any longer and asked in a low voice: "You guys..."

"Lord Luvia, long time no see, I have a question..."

Alice interrupted Richard directly, stared at the red-haired beauty, and showed a standard polite smile: "The famous Sword of the Empire, casually sneaking into the cloakroom of another royal family, wouldn't it be a bit too rude? ?”

Facing Alice's question, Luvia was embarrassed at first, but then she remembered, didn't you get in earlier than me?

What qualifications do you have to speak against me?

She stared back, but Alice chuckled lightly, picked up the sleeves of her back dress, and said preparedly:

"As for me... I'm just here to care about my junior's daily life. After all, he has been struggling to resist the oppression of the empire, and it is inevitable that he cannot take care of himself. This is very distressing."

"For example, the fabric of these two clothes is good, but the style is too old. It is good to wear it to meet elders, but it is not suitable to meet people of the same age... Junior Richard, if you don't mind, I can give you one tomorrow. Come criticize the most popular Fandan~"

"There are also the snacks that Katyusha brought just now. Well, the cook is very skilled, but the raw materials are a little different and the magic power content is very low. If you want to try something else, junior, I can also..."

As she said it, she seemed to be claiming to be the mistress of the palace.

Luvia wanted to refute, but found that she really couldn't imitate Alice.

How does she know about clothes and cooking?

I usually wear armor and eat military rations.

And talking about resisting the oppression of the empire... isn't this a deliberate attempt to squeeze her out as a member of the empire?

The more Luvia thought about this, the redder her face turned, and finally she just said in a deep voice:

"Fashionable clothes are not conducive to drawing a sword!"

"Junior, you are a prince and a summoner, so why should you prepare to draw your sword all day long?"

"Richard has many enemies, so he needs to be aware of the crisis!"

"So which country do most of his enemies come from? Miss Sword of the Empire?"

"..."

Within a few minutes, there were several exchanges between the two sides.

Richard vaguely felt that his cloakroom had become a powder keg.

But he didn't know that Alice was already in a very restrained state.

Although Her Royal Highness the Princess wanted to get rid of Luvia, she also understood rationally that she was an important support for Richard in his affairs within the empire.

For Richard's safety, she really couldn't completely piss him off.

At least not now...

Damn.

As for Luvia.

As a military commander, she was not good at speaking, so she was at a disadvantage.

But whenever she couldn't bear it anymore, she remembered that wonderful night when she discussed life with Richard.

hum~

You Nanman princess, what a big talker!

Are there any actual results?

And Richard obviously likes practicing swordsmanship with me!

With the help of this mentality, Luvia was defeated, but she still maintained the greatest restraint and had no intention of showing off a gold-level force.

Gradually, both parties became a little tired.

The two beauties turned back together, their beautiful eyes with their own charms blinked, and they both looked at Richard.

Richard had sweat on his forehead.

What do you want me to say?

But I feel that if I deviate now, I will die, and if I remain neutral, I will die!

Is this the tragedy of a small country?

At this moment, the noise outside the window came in.

It sounded like the cook was getting angry because she couldn't buy the best cream.

"Cough cough!"

Richard then said: "You have officially notified us that we will arrive tonight, right? Then the palace will be very busy, and there will be a lot of noise with people coming and going. To be honest, this place is not suitable for us to whisper."

Luvia and Alice looked at each other and apologized.

"Sorry, we came a little unexpectedly."

"No need to say such things, I'm really happy that you can come."

After all, both of them were anxious to take a look because they were concerned about themselves. Richard was very grateful, and then persuaded softly: "It's just that I think we should talk at another time, such as...after the welcome dinner. ?”

Richard decisively used the procrastination technique.

Let's put aside the controversy first, so as not to accidentally let others discover it later, okay?

My cloakroom really can’t fit three people!

Having said that, Luvia and Alice naturally agreed and returned to the team, so as to save the entourage from worrying about finding someone.

Time comes to night.

A grand welcome dinner was held again in Connaught Palace.

But compared to Prince Saiga last time, the number of guests this time was surprisingly large.

The Sword of the Empire, the youngest golden-ranked person in the world, the destined swordsman Luvia!

Alice, the princess of the great country Vandan, a genius in magic practice, and a rising political star!

The jaws of the Connaught people who heard about this dropped.

Can we expect them both in this remote little place?

It is no exaggeration to say that the nobles and officials who were qualified to attend the banquet were going crazy with excitement.

As for whether they are simply happy, or they want to be strong, or they want to collude to please, or have some other purpose, that is something that outsiders cannot know.

In short, the palace is extremely lively today.

Facing the enthusiastic Connaught people, Luvia and Alice behaved very appropriately.

There was no jostling or quarreling with each other, no excessive showing of preference for Richard, but they all gave him enough face. In their words, they were either recalling the friendship of fighting side by side, or admiring Richard's outstanding performance, and finally wishing him the best. The friendship between the two countries will last forever.

All the Connaught people present felt honored when they heard this.

Henry II, in particular, was cheerful throughout the whole process and felt proud of his son.

Of course, as a person who has experienced this, he also vaguely saw something else in the eyes of Luvia and Alice. Although he was not sure, it did not prevent him from smiling even more happily.

But as another protagonist of the banquet, Richard smiled very reluctantly now.

After all, the banquet must end, and the pigeon's tactics will also fail...

But he hasn't figured out how to spend the long night ahead!

If the two of them broke into his bedroom again tonight...

Huh, wait.

What's in the sea?

While thinking wildly, Richard's eyes swept across the coastline outside the window, and suddenly he saw a strange light.

But when he blinked, he couldn't see anything anymore.

Is it an illusion?Are there still fishermen fooling around?

He shook his head and reintegrated into the lively banquet hall.

Chapter 126 Frankness between women

At the end of the banquet, Alice saw that the atmosphere was high and simply introduced her plan to invest and build a factory in Connaught to everyone present.

She asked her subordinates to get a crystal ball, and used magic to control the interior of it to reveal various light and shadow images, showing her ideal company and the various products she wanted to produce.

The meticulous planning and exquisite product design made the surrounding Connaught people excited and expressed their admiration for the sagacity of Her Royal Highness.

Although they may not understand the details, they also understand that these are huge profits!

Blessed are we in Connacht!

While Richard was applauding, he clearly noticed something in the crystal ball...

It seems like a bicycle appeared?

Gee.

In fact, Alice felt a little embarrassed at the moment.
