God's family

Compared with the soul-stirring meeting at the gate of the palace, the formal audience was extremely smooth, without any notable highlights.The king has an extraordinary bearing, but his body doesn't seem to be in good shape, while the queen is a graceful and dignified woman, but it's a pity that she is too dignified and loses some of her popularity.

The relationship between Nexant and his parents was a little distant. Although it wasn't cold, it wasn't loving and enthusiastic either. It didn't look like parents caring about their children, but more like a routine condolence.

Of course, Roger felt that it was really because of Lycente's too indifferent personality. No matter who looked at this paralyzed face that was obviously distracted, he would definitely not be loving and enthusiastic. Roger understood very well.

The two nobles are obviously very curious about Roger who can "tame" their eldest son, but it is a pity that Roger's performance is also quite satisfactory, so after asking a few questions, their interest gradually dissipated. Next, see It was over, Roger was taken down by Leon, but Lyon was left behind, and there was no knowing what happened.

Just as Roger expected, he was not allowed to leave the palace and return to the hotel. Instead, he was arranged in the palace belonging to Laycent, with a room exclusively for him.I have to say that the conditions in the palace are indeed top-notch, and both the living environment and comfort can only be praised.

"Your room was arranged by me, how is it? Isn't it good?" Leon took Roger into the room, introduced him to the surrounding environment, and claimed the credit a little ostentatiously.

"Well, you can really be the manager of Nexant." Roger sighed with admiration on his face - to be honest, he really wanted to change the word "manager" into "nanny".

Leon looked up at the sky, deeply feeling that the past was unbearable.

"By the way, tell me about the second prince Raphael. I think he is not very friendly to Lacente?" Roger sat down on the soft chair and began to actively search for information.

"It's really not very friendly. His Royal Highness Raphael often loses his temper, probably because he is too young and immature!" Leon laughed, obviously not taking Raphael seriously—or, in other words, his loyalty to the royal family Let him not be jealous and suspicious of people who have royal blood.

"Anyway, tell me about it. I always feel that the last look he gave me made me shudder." Naturally, Roger would not reveal his speculation to Leon. Jie didn't want to use the presumed friendship between himself and him to test Leon's loyalty to the royal family, it must be a complete failure, okay?

"Haha! I guess he's jealous of you!" Leon smiled and blinked teasingly, "Anyone can see that Lacent is special to you. His Highness Raphael has been trying to attract Lacent. Seeing that you easily get the attention he wants, I naturally feel uncomfortable, kid! You can just walk around him in the future, it's no big deal."

"According to what you said...His Royal Highness Raphael actually cares about Lycent?" Roger narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering.

"I care, and it should be said that I am not reconciled." Leon thought for a moment, "His Royal Highness Raphael used to overwhelm Nexant in everything, but in recent years, although Nexant has been lazy and unmotivated, However, he suddenly showed an unmatched talent. His Royal Highness Raphael is still young, and he probably cannot calmly accept that his elder brother, whom he has always regarded as mediocre, will come from behind."

"Wait, what do you mean to say that Laycent was a talent who kept a low profile in the early days until recent years?" Roger frowned, "Isn't that in line with his personality? I don't think Layson at all. Especially the kind of person who can hide himself, he doesn't bother to do it."

"...Probably?" Leon was probably also a little puzzled, shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders, "I also heard people say about the things about Nexant before, and I didn't follow him at that time, to be exact, at that time I just heard his name. The rumors at that time were too much, saying that he was a waste of magic and martial arts, and his personality was also cowardly and incompetent. But when I got to know Laicant, I found that he was completely different from the rumored one. Extreme. Although I also feel that Lacente's personality is obviously too lazy to hide himself, but maybe there is a reason why he has to do this? Who knows, anyway, I have never understood him before!"

Roger's eyes flickered, and he felt that he might have caught another place with a secret, but it was a pity that he couldn't get any more detailed information from Leon, and about the second prince Raphael, Luo Jie can understand the jealousy and resentment of a proud boy who has always thought highly of himself, but is suddenly overshadowed by an elder brother whom he has always looked down upon. If it cannot be properly and timely guided and evacuated, it will probably gather and explode with extremely worrying power.

It's a pity that, as an existence that was also hated by Raphael, Roger himself has no room to intervene at all, so he can only try his best to be vigilant.

"Compared to these, I'm actually more worried about the bishop's invitation to you." Seeing Roger thoughtfully, Leon changed the subject, "Will you become a priest?"

"...If it's my own wish, to be honest, I don't want to." Roger replied sincerely, with a puzzled face on his face, "Could it be that a high-ranking adult like the Archbishop would personally ask about matters related to the development of priests? "

"Generally speaking, definitely not." Leon snorted softly, "But he will invite you personally, so he must have his own intentions. Either you are indeed a genius who is once in a thousand years, and not becoming a priest is simply reckless." , or... probably for political reasons."

"Political reasons?" Roger simply put aside the first hypothesis, "The Archbishop wants to use me to exert influence on Lacente?"

"Although it is disrespectful to speculate like this, I have to admit that the archbishop is not only a devout and fanatical believer, but also an ambitious politician." Leon bent his lips inexplicably, the originally enthusiastic and upright knight At this moment, he became sharp and cold. People who grew up in the political vortex and assisted Nexant in dealing with personnel affairs and communication in every way have never been able to have true simplicity.

One mountain cannot contain two tigers, and the political system of separation of theocracy means that the two need to assist each other, but they cannot achieve absolute unity of interests.Although it seems that the temple ignores the common affairs and only serves the gods, but the real thoughts of the person in charge of the temple, probably only he himself can know.The Leon family are knights loyal to the royal family, and one of the principles of loyalty to the royal family is to be vigilant against the temple.

"Although I don't know what the archbishop thinks, there is a great possibility that his real goal is Laycent rather than you. You are just a bridge that looks very useful." Leon concluded.

"If this is the case, I probably really need to accept the invitation of the Bishop." Roger touched his chin, his slightly lowered eyelashes trembled, covering the bright red eyes, and when he raised his eyes a moment later , the slightly hooked corners of his lips have revealed his determination.

"Although I thought it was hard for you to refuse, judging from your performance, it doesn't seem that you accepted it because it was hard to refuse?" Leon was a little confused.

"Yeah! It's not because I can't refuse to accept it, but because it's tricky. He wants to use me, and I don't know who really uses whom in the end." Roger laughed, but for some reason there was a smile on his sweet smile. There was a hint of a dangerous conspiracy, which made Leon shiver involuntarily, and secretly felt that it was true that those who were close to the vermilion were red, and those who entered the Leicester were black.

"...What on earth are you planning?" Leon touched his arm, suppressed the goosebumps, and asked tentatively.

"You want Lacent to sit in that position, right?" Roger asked instead of answering.

"I am loyal to the royal family. No matter in means, ability or status, His Highness Laicant is the well-deserved first heir." Leon's answer was firm.

"Then what if there is an accident? I mean, if His Majesty the King's preferred heir is His Highness Raphael, how would you choose?" Roger stared fixedly at Leon, his pure red eyes were calm and unwavering , but it seemed to contain some kind of great tension, and Leon couldn't help but hold his breath.

"I..." Leon felt a little parched, he had a sharp side, but also a dull part.Roger's question he never thought about.He is loyal to the royal family, and he is also loyal to Nexant. He wishfully believes that the interests of the royal family and Nexant are mutually unified, and Nexant is destined to take that position logically, but what if—what if Woolen cloth?

The previous oaths, the family rules, and the details of getting along with Laicant flashed in Leon's mind one by one. After a long time, he took a deep breath, "I will follow His Highness Laicant and take his will as my own. will."

The smile on Roger's face has not changed, but the coldness has faded away, and it has changed back to the previous appearance, a little casual, a little careless, a little warm and friendly, just like the most ordinary boy next door , but his image has undergone earth-shaking changes in Leon's heart.

"Although I think Lacente definitely doesn't care about the throne at all, but he doesn't care, but it doesn't necessarily mean that others don't care either." Roger said again, "No matter what his choice is, we all need to pay for it." He needs to be prepared and lay a good foundation. If he will go further in the future, the temple with me is much easier to control than the temple without anyone."

"You think you can do it? You won't be used by control?" Leon's eyes lit up.

"Who knows? If you do this kind of thing, you can hope to achieve the desired result, but if you don't do it, you will get nothing." Although Roger's smile can't be said to be trustworthy and confident , but still has the ease and comfort of going with the situation, "Besides, you can't refuse anyway! It's more valuable to take the initiative than to resist passively unwillingly."

Leon took a deep look at Roger, stood up and walked towards the door, "Since you have decided in this way, it would be better for me to make arrangements."

"That's troublesome!" Roger followed closely with a smile, full of enthusiasm, "Oh, Lescent is really thanks to you!"

"You're not bad, I've always underestimated you." Leon stopped at the door, turned around and looked at Roger with some complexity, as if he was taking him so seriously for the first time, "I always thought you He's the kind of guy who doesn't seek to make progress, but wants to run away when he encounters troubles. I didn't expect to have such a side."

"You're right, I really don't want to make progress, and I want to run away when I encounter trouble." Roger chuckled lightly, with a kind of lazy helplessness, "But for my own life, for my bright future In the future, I will work hard!"

"Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Now that you are in this position, blindly avoiding passively will only usher in destruction, and you can only work hard to stand higher, isn't it?"

After seeing off Leon, Roger raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks that were a little stiff from laughing, and sighed long.

As a grassroots class, it is really stressful to suddenly have to fight for the ownership of the future throne.However, since I didn't follow the rational urging to run away as soon as possible, but came to this step half-voluntarily and half-forced, I can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.
