Chapter 1349 1347 Capetian Travels The First Day of a New Life

Chapter 1349 1347. Capet Travels·The First Day of a New Life

The morning of Scarlet Castle is a busy morning. At least the Scarlet Archon has been troubled by continuous meetings and various document approvals since entering the office in the morning. Fortunately, she has become accustomed to this working mode, and even sadly found that she can feel a little happiness from this heavy work.

This made Miriam seriously doubt whether she also suffered from some damn mental illness. Unfortunately, she couldn't spare time to go to Dr. Crow for psychological consultation.

However, the Archon was just complaining.

She knew very well that her "happiness" came from the sense of achievement in construction, especially when she was walking in the city at noon or after get off work, looking at the place that was more prosperous every day than yesterday, that kind of achievement and satisfaction could not be replaced by any stupid enjoyment.

Just like every day when she was free from the office window and looked at the whole picture of Scarlet Castle, those high and low buildings that rose from the ground always gave her a kind of spiritual glory of "this is the kingdom built by my own hands".

But the continuous completion of buildings also brought some troubles to Miriam.

I don’t know when it started, when these buildings used for different purposes were completed, they would invite local respected people to "cut the ribbon" to celebrate the achievement of new milestones. At first, it was just a ceremonial congratulation, but it soon became a kind of hidden "financial resources" and "influence" comparison among various forces in Transia.

The direct result is that Miriam now has to attend three to four ribbon-cutting ceremonies every week.

Although she has repeatedly emphasized to her secretaries that these requests should be screened, the invitations still come in continuously, which makes Miriam suspect that her secretaries must have received benefits in private.

Well, let the Anti-Corruption Department of the Shadow Intelligence Agency check it out in a few days!

Despite the complaints, the schedule was already arranged and could not be ignored, so at noon, Miriam sat in her own four-wheeled beetle official car specially made by Dongfeng Vehicle and came to a newly completed building in the inner city of Scarlet Castle. It was still the old set of procedures, pulling up the red cloth and cutting the ribbon. A group of workers and onlookers around cheered and cheered, and a reporter from the Midnight Evening News was filming with a computing orb next to her.

Miriam felt that her face was about to freeze with laughter, but she had to learn from a certain governor who was absent for many years to pose in the most solemn posture with a good sense of camera.

It is said that in the other world, there are some naturally beautiful girls who make money by taking pictures. I don’t know how they persist in such a difficult job.

After cutting the ribbon, the exquisite golden scissors will be given to the guests as a gift, which is also part of the "convention".

Miriam's status made her sure that she would not put this thing in her pocket. This thing would be taken back and given to the staff as part of the financial supplement. What the Scarlet Archon really looked forward to was the lunch meeting that was about to begin.

This building is the office of the Transian Diplomatic Department. In the future, the embassies of various countries will be nearby, so the quality of the food here is definitely the first-class level in the whole Transian. Not only are there many varieties, but the taste is also good. It is very suitable for the Archon who has been busy all morning to have a bite here and reward himself.

In the afternoon, there will be a closed meeting of the Business and Logistics Department to discuss how to deal with the assistance and subsequent business projects in the East Prussia region for the next period of time. Because there are "officials" from the Grand Duchy of Capet, Miriam must attend.

The reason why it is a closed meeting is that the Grand Duchy has not yet confirmed that it can be established, so it is necessary to avoid people when discussing such things.

But just as Miriam was sitting in a chair resting and thinking about what to order, a familiar voice sounded beside her:

"I'm going to Dongshanju to eat something, do you want to come with me?"

"Ah?"

The Scarlet Archon turned around in surprise and saw Fraser in a formal dress standing beside her, inviting her to lunch with the gentleman smile that he had when they first met.

This made Miriam's eyes widen, and the Archon said:

"Why are you here? As the military commander, shouldn't you stay in East Prussia to help the pioneering corps clean up the remaining evil creatures and ratmen?

I heard that Count Lyon has arrived in Banks City and started to manage that place. I feel a headache just thinking about what he has to do. As his son, you actually have time to come here to invite a lady to lunch?

Have you changed your personality?"

"I'm no longer a military commander, Miriam."

Fraser shook his head and said:

"My current official position is the acting ambassador of the Grand Duchy of Capet to Transia. The appointment last night, you don't know that I rode a wind eagle all the way How tired you must be to rush here in such a hurry."

"Wait!"

Milliam, who is no longer a political novice, immediately tasted the extraordinary meaning from this answer, and she immediately asked seriously:

"You have a formal title and you are still swaggering in broad daylight. Does it mean that the Capet family and King Louis have reached an agreement? In addition, as the heir of the Capet family, how could you suddenly be sent abroad as an ambassador?

You and your father have a conflict?

When I was chatting with him, the Earl made it clear that you would inherit the Capet family's business. You are the heir to the regent of the Grand Duchy. You should not be sent here away from the core of power!

So what the hell is going on, Frasier!

Stop being so playful and say it clearly! "

"My reason tells me that I should assist my father in stabilizing the power of the Grand Duchy, but my conscience tells me that I cannot go too far on this path of treason."

Frazier reached out and tapped his temple gently, and replied helplessly:

"My reason and my conscience are fighting this war. I am at a loss and can only choose to be a deserter. This is the fact, Miriam. When the Capetian family finally had their own country, I, the crown prince, chose myself. exile.

My father will have a better successor.

He always has many things to consider, and I just need to leave the Grand Duchy and wander around the world to follow my heart.

In fact, this ambassador will not last long. After the political situation stabilizes, my father will send his close associates to replace me. At that time, I will be truly free. I will no longer be burdened by the glory and past of the Capetian family, and I will no longer need to consider the future of the family. and inheritance.

I would become a 'good-for-nothing child' in my father's mind, but I could spend my life following my own desires.

Perhaps, this is also a relief and a victory for me. "

"Fraser!"

Miriam was a little confused by this answer. She stood up, moved her fingers uneasily, and whispered after a few seconds:

"Does this have anything to do with me?"

"Well, do you think your position in my heart is so important? Miriam."

Frazier laughed, waved his hand coolly and said:

"Don't feel guilty about this. This is more of my personal choice. You see, I have been taught to be loyal to my country since I was a child. I am so shaped. However, the father who taught me these principles obviously does not. think.

I just.

How to say it?

Feeling a little lost.

Don’t worry about my stay in Scarlet Castle. I came here today just to go through some formalities. Tonight, I will return to East Prussia and go with Ron to the southern direction of Dorod Fortress to continue cleaning up those dark debris until the entire East Prussia. Prussia's crisis is over.

Did you know?

Ron called me a fool. He said I pushed the throne into the pit with my own hands. He thought I must be crazy."

"You are indeed crazy!"

Miriam shook her head and said:

"No normal person would make such a crazy choice as you. You only need to do nothing and have a capable father pave the way to become a king for you, but you gave up. If not, I would know what you are. For such a person, I really think that you must be insane due to the influence of the symbiotic organisms in your body.

Forget it, let’s go to Dongshanju for a meal together. I’ll treat you this time!

I can't help you much, but at least I can be a friend and listen to the thoughts and pain in your heart that cannot be told to others. You can swing your sword at the enemy without fear, but how can you point the weapon at your own father? ? "

"Ha, you still understand me."

Fraser smiled.

This time there was a little more bitterness in the smile.

Miriam found the secretary and asked her to explain the situation to the person in charge here. Then she reached out and stopped a taxi that was running around the streets of Scarlet Castle, and arrived at the old Dongshanju store with Fraser.

As the most famous catering company in Scarlet Castle, Dongshan Residence is always full. Of course, there must be "private rooms" on the top floor, and the two people in front of them have enough status in terms of their status and the power they represent. The qualification is to have a quiet place without being disturbed in a place not open to ordinary people.

Fraser seemed to want to get rid of the disappointment in his heart by eating and drinking, so he ordered a large table of dishes without even worrying about whether he could finish them all.

The "brother" in his body is enough to ensure that the disc operation is completely executed at any time. If necessary, Fraser can even eat the fragrant wood table in front of him made of special wood cultivated by the Church of Avalon.

While waiting for the food to be served, he told Miriam about the situation in East Prussia these days:

"Just last night, the psychic master from Fog City brought a response from King Louis. I read the letter, and every line was filled with the king's anger. I could even feel from it that he wanted to kill my father. The rage that tore apart my family.”

Fraser leaned back in his chair and whispered:

“But at the end of the letter, King Louis still invited my father to go to the foggy capital at the appropriate moment to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of Prince William, at which he would announce the ‘award’ to the Capet family.

Because of my family's efforts in protecting the people and the border during the Eternal Night Disaster, the generous king decided to make East Prussia a fiefdom of the Capetian family, while also entrusting the Saxe and Cato regions to form a de facto border principality. .

This made me feel the horror of politics again.

They turned an unavoidable defeat into a victory that can be praised and commemorated. If I hadn't personally participated in it, if I hadn't known the truth, I'm afraid I would only feel the generosity of the king and the unity of the nobles.

However, the opposite is true. "

"This also proves that my political advisor from another world's prediction of the development of this matter is almost accurate. King Louis chose the one with the least impact on his rule among all options."

After hearing this, Miriam said:

“From my perspective, I feel happy for this result. It means that the anger of the Transians will dissipate a little, and it also means that we can finally use a more pragmatic attitude to engage in diplomacy with the Plantagenet Kingdom.

But from your perspective, this is indeed a change that is enough to subvert perceptions.

What about you?

What do you plan to do in the future? "

"After freeing myself from family affairs, I plan to do something I really want to do."

Fraser shrugged, pointed out the window and said:

“Learn to be free from the constraints of life, like a bird escaping from a cage, enjoy your freedom and fulfill some of your previous ideals.

For example, going on an adventure in the forest of Antani, finding a boat in the Misty Sea and sailing around the continent, or becoming a third-rate poet and expressing your thoughts in words. Speaking of this, I feel that I actually have the potential to be a writer. potential.

You see, the previous sales of Capet's Travels were very good. Even if I didn't accept the property my father gave me, the royalties alone would be enough for me to live comfortably for a long time.

Of course, I think I may not be cool for long.

After all, the existence of the symbiotic creature means that I am destined to continue working for the cause of order. When Mr. Murphy issues a summons, I will come immediately. "

Having said this, the Capetian prodigal glanced at the silent Miriam, and he added a little superfluously, saying:

"Of course, when my friend calls, I will come as soon as possible."

"You can just say your friend is me, Frasier."

Miriam waved her hands generously and said:

"Actually, I've been wondering whether any of the reasons why you made this decision was because you always wanted to prove something to me when I scolded you as a hypocritical nobleman outside the door, Frasier.

I'm not stupid, I can feel it. "

"But I won't be stupid enough to pursue something I can't catch."

He rubbed his neck and said:

"When I left, my father talked with me for a long time. He told me that you don't accept me not because I am not good enough, but just because you have married yourself to Transia, so I won't say anything sensational. Miriam.

When you are willing to let go of these burdens one day in the future, I will reappear in your life. "

"Actually, I'm also looking forward to that day coming."

Miriam laughed. As the dishes were served, the two stopped talking about these troublesome things. After enjoying the meal, they said goodbye as friends. Watching Miriam board the car that came to pick her up, Fraser stood He waved goodbye at the roadside, and he didn't put on his coat until the car disappeared around the corner and walked to the alley next to Dongshan Residence.

At the end of the alley, Capet's prodigal stopped, turned around, flexing his fingers, and said:

"Do you want to continue following me? The other guy in my body has just had a big meal but is still not satisfied. It said it wants to order a plate of raw sashimi."

"Don't be busy, Lord Fraser. I'm just here to deliver something. I didn't hear the ambiguous conversations between you and the consul that made me dig my toes."

As the strange shadow dispersed, the ace agent of the Shadow Intelligence Agency and the boss of the Blood Rat Gang, Ms. Dorothy, appeared in front of Fraser. She took out a weapon box tied with a chain from behind and handed it to Fraser, says:

"This is a 'gift' that Lord Murphy personally ordered me to send to you. It comes from the reshaped Arbiter Holy Sword. Avalon, the God of Nature, has erased the restrictions on the use of the Gray Knight's Holy Sword. Now you can use it at will. .

Lord Murphy said that this is the most perfect gift for the second 'Ranger of Nantes' or the first 'Grey-White Sword Master'.

Please also visit Lord Kudel when you return to East Prussia. He also has something in his hand that can only be used by the selfless to give to you. "

"I haven't made any plans for the second half of my life, but Mr. Murphy has chosen a life path for me again?"

Fraser said with a dissatisfied look:

"Shouldn't my life be my own choice?"

"Mr. Murphy is just a suggestion, and I am just a delivery boy delivering gifts. It is useless for you to tell me these things."

Dorothy spread her hands helplessly and said:

"In addition, I have a personal suggestion. The way you communicate with Ms. Miriam is so terrible. Really, I feel uncomfortable just looking at it. Why are you, a grown man, so timid and uninteresting? Just go straight to the A. !

Ms. Miriam's character is such that she is willing to be in the same room with you so closely and listen to your chatter, which actually shows the problem. You are too much of a gentleman.

You have to leave the choice to other girls in this kind of matter. You are a man and you don't have any responsibility for your mother-in-law.

go!

Hurry up and catch up!

Don’t you know today is Ms. Miriam’s birthday? You idiot. "

The eldest sister cursed and magically took out a bouquet of roses still stained with dewdrops and stuffed it into Fraser's hand, pointed to him outside the alley, and then disappeared.

"Listen to your nonsense! How can I not know when Miriam's birthday is?"

Fraser complained harshly, but looking at the rose in his hand, he hesitated and left quickly.

Maybe the vampire was right.

Maybe I should be more proactive.

After all, there was no longer any bond, and the sad barrier between him and Miriam had been eliminated. It was natural for him to muster up the courage to move forward with a new life.
