early morning.

Li Sheng went to bed early after performing the reconstructive surgery on No. 3 last night, so he naturally got up earlier today.

"Your Highness, there is no need for us to wait here in the ice and snow. You can just send a message. Why do you have to wait here?" The guard standing behind Ivan felt the severe cold coming from the outside world. He asked in confusion.

"If you feel cold, you can go back first. After all, as my father's only heir, no one dares to hurt me in the Holy Castle." Ivan stood at the street entrance, staring at the attendant's office in the distance. , said.

"How can that be done?" The guard was obviously a little nervous, fearing that the other party would transfer him to the army again for this reason.

"Then just stay quiet."

"My subordinates know." After saying this, he was obviously unhappy to see the young prince, and the guards did not dare to say anything more.

Little did they know that their every move at this time was under the surveillance of attendants not far away, and they were later reported to Li Sheng.

Ivan waited in the ice and snow for a long time, but still didn't see the Duke go out. He was so young that he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He really didn't want to wait for his father to send a letter to summon the Duke before going to see him.

Who knows if meeting the Duke as a prince will make him hate him, the first impression cannot be bad.

In the attendant's office, Li Sheng drank Victoria's black tea and leisurely looked at the information presented by the attendants in his hands, some information about the mobile city-state plan.

This plan was originally carried out with his support. Violet, who only had a basic understanding of it, would not pay too much attention to it except for paying daily attention.

Ursus, as an empire built on rebellion, naturally likes things that can strengthen the country, but it seems a bit funny to forcefully build it without the ability.

The resources of the territory were not brought by strong winds, so it was naturally impossible for Li Sheng to allow such wasteful behavior by the royal family.

It seems like it would be really troublesome to go to the palace before leaving.

Looking at the information in his hand that was supposed to be sent to Thorn City next month, Li Sheng couldn't help but rub his head. He hated these troublesome things, but these things always bothered him. He was obviously ready to wait until the next world. Try harder.

"Your Excellency, there is an invitation from the royal family." The attendant outside the door came in and said after knocking on the door and getting permission.

"Didn't you tell anyone who came that we weren't here?" Looking at the invitation in the other person's hand, Violet frowned and asked after taking it.

Seeing this, the attendant also explained helplessly: "When the other party came, he only said that His Majesty the Emperor invited the Duke to the palace, and then he put down his things and left."

"Just in time, just looking at these terrible engineering reports, I also want to go to the palace." Just when Violet frowned, Li Sheng suddenly put down the engineering report in his hand, and it was not difficult to see the disappointment in his eyes in his words. .

Violet looked at her in surprise, and then looked at the engineering reports he put down. It seemed that these reports should be more troublesome than the weird cases in the territory, Violet thought.

It's a pity that what she didn't know was that Li Sheng watched those weird cases for fun, but this time he was not happy when he saw them for fun.

The expenditures of the Violet Duchy in the past few months are almost as much as the combined tax revenue of other places in the empire except the Violet Territory in less than half a year. The result is such junk.

If he gave these things to Khorne, the other party would probably be able to pull out a five-digit demon army for him. How could he not feel distressed about this?

"Go now?" The attendant on the side suddenly asked.

"Prepare the car and go now." Li Sheng couldn't bear it anymore. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. It's not such a waste of resources! After all, he produced the nutrient solution that promotes the growth of food.

The attendant was a little undecided when he saw the other party acting like this. With the gentleman's temper, might he tear down the palace? The attendant couldn't help but look at Violet, and when the Grand Duke nodded, he quickly stepped back and prepared.

On the street, just when Ivan couldn't wait any longer, there was finally movement in the attendant's office. He quickly moved forward, fearing that he would miss this famous grand duke in history if he was slow.

His move frightened the guards on the side and quickly followed him, fearing that they would lose the prince if they were too late.

"who!"

The sharp blade was unsheathed without being noticed by the naked eye, and the half-meter-long attendant's standard short knife was instantly placed on the necks of the two people. The attendant in the distance had already prepared various spells in his hands, and in the other hand was The dagger has been unsheathed.

"Don't do anything. He is His Highness Ivan. He came here to meet the Grand Duke." Seeing that something was wrong, the guard who was being controlled quickly announced his identity.

He couldn't help but take revenge. In fact, these guys showing murderous intent gave him a sense of threat that was far greater than the Royal Knights of Gaul he had faced before.

It doesn't matter if he dies, if something happens to the prince, he won't be able to lose it even if he has ten heads!

"Prince?" After hearing the other party announcing his identity, the attendant with the short knife on Ivan's neck still held the weapon in his hand tightly.

But behind him, an attendant had already withdrawn the spell and returned to the room behind him to ask the Duke for instructions.

"What did you say? There is a man who calls himself a prince and wants to see me?" Violet looked confused. She didn't remember that she knew the prince of Ursus?

Turning to look at Li Sheng, he saw the other person shrugged to indicate that he didn't recognize him either.

"Let's go take a look first." As he said this, Li Sheng passed the attendants and walked out. Upon seeing this, Violet quickly followed him.

Seeing Li Sheng walking out of the room surrounded by his attendants, Ivan quickly said: "Grand Duke."

Um... Regardless of whether he was a duke or not, seeing the other person wanting to step forward but being unable to do so due to the short knife on his neck, Li Sheng waved his hand to signal the attendant to put down the knife.

"Ahem, I'm Ivan. I wonder if I can ask the Grand Duke to be my magic instructor to guide me in my spells?" When he came to Li Sheng, Ivan coughed twice to suppress the excitement in his heart, and tried to sound less so when he spoke. Excited.

Violet stood behind Li Sheng and heard what he said and what he said, and she roughly guessed what was going on.

The little guy in front of him obviously recognized the wrong person, but the person he requested was right. Li Sheng did know a lot of magic.

"First of all, I'm not a grand duke. Secondly, why should I teach you? Finally, I have something to go to the palace and I don't have time to waste here with you."

Li Sheng stretched out three fingers in a row to completely end the other person's dream of becoming a disciple, and then walked around him towards the beast of burden cart prepared by the attendant.

"It's so cold, didn't you say you're the prince? I happen to be going to the palace, so I can take you with me."

Violet rubbed the head of the child in front of her who claimed to be a prince, and inadvertently pinched the ears that occasionally twitched on top of his head, and then motioned for him to get in the car with her.

"You come too, there should be one more person sitting in the driving seat." Violet looked at Ivan's guard and said.

But this time, there was no gentleness as he had faced Ivan just now. Instead, he was more formulaic and strict when communicating with his subordinates.
