Everyone Says I'm the Demon King [Unlimited]
Chapter 49 The Princess' Choice (6)
Missions from neighboring countries will be here for a while.
The purpose of the other party's visit this time is obviously for the friendly exchanges between the two countries, but some experienced politicians in the royal city know that it is to discuss the negotiations between the two countries to jointly resist the invasion of the Bandit cavalry from the north.
The Bandit people grew up in the cold and polar islands in the north, separated from the two countries by a strait.
The people there are uneducated and vicious. In the past, they often pretended to be poor and good people and boarded the ship to rob, and then controlled the entire ship to take the sea as their home, and practiced pirates. Headache.
Later, the Bandit people were probably pirates for a long time, and they also had some capital. They even landed ashore, integrated refugees, recruited troops, and aggressively invaded the border between the two countries.
This invasion has been going on for more than ten years. However, the war on the border has not affected the extravagance of the royal city in the slightest. The high-ranking officials and nobles in the royal city are still singing and dancing. Which skirt.
The king on top is even more licentious, and state affairs have already fallen into the hands of cabinet ministers.
During the visit of the mission from the neighboring country this time, although the king and the queen were sitting on the throne when discussing matters, the main object of discussion between Prince Derek and the envoys has become Snow and the cabinet officials.
This caused great dissatisfaction with the king.
Lu Fengdeng, as Princess Catherine, went deep into the palace, or attended tea parties held on the lawn outside the palace, and he could hear the king's drunken madness, impotent and furious curses many times:
"Who is the king?! Is Snow planning to turn the world upside down?!"
"I want to withdraw Snow's position, no one can stop me!"
"Cancel this bastard's engagement! Is he just waiting for me to die so that he can justifiably steal my kingdom in the future?!"
"..."
Often such madness will be accompanied by the Queen's soft comfort and Princess Mary's sobs.
Every time Lu Fengdeng would either sit in his room and pinch the little monster's tentacles, or just watch in the dark like other cabinet officials.
It is impossible for a king who has been emptied of most of his power because of his indulgence, without really intervening in affairs for a period of time, it is impossible to take back his power at once.
During the discussion meeting, the king neither knew how many people were in the country's army, nor did he know anything about the border defense of the country.Snow, on the other hand, was able to tell the number of people in the border towns, he had a better understanding of the country's terrain, and he had a good idea of the enemy's strength.
Even if the missions of neighboring countries wanted to talk to the king, they couldn't talk at all.
The quarrel intensified.
Finally, the conflict between the royal family and the cabinet reached its peak on the day when the head of the border garrison and the cardinal hurried back to the royal city.
Facing the front-line first-hand information brought by the head of the local border garrison and the dispatched cardinal, the missions of neighboring countries, the royal family and the cabinet were all shocked.
The Bandit's offensive is very brave, and a large number of towns along the coast in the north of the country have been captured.The neighboring country is geographically farther south than the own country, but also lost a lot of land.
These Bandit people are used to being robbers and are burning, killing and looting the towns along the way.The refugees in the city died and fled.The border garrison is retreating steadily, and has now retreated to the Neilo River, waiting for the royal family to mobilize and dispatch troops to support.
The silver armor on the head of the garrison regiment was covered with dust, and he described it as a bit embarrassed, which showed the hard work along the way.
Shocked by the horrors of the war he described, the king immediately decided to gather the troops from the royal city and the surrounding towns to support the frontline tomorrow.
This hasty and reckless move was naturally opposed by everyone present, even the cardinal who was eagerly begging for support did not agree.
How many soldiers can be mobilized and how many things can be prepared in such a short period of time?The army has gone, can the logistics keep up?
However, the king had already been emptied of his body and mind by the sensuality, and could not see the surrounding situation, nor could he think of many details.He insisted on going his own way, and exerted pressure from his status as the emperor, strongly demanding that an army mobilization meeting be held tomorrow, and the army in Wangcheng will set off tomorrow morning to go north to the banks of the Neilo River.
The meeting that day was another quarrel, and finally under the strong pressure of the king, the cabinet agreed to the mobilization meeting of the Wangcheng army tomorrow.
And this was exactly the opportunity that Lu Fengdeng had been waiting for for a long time.
……
In the early hours of the morning, the kitchens of the palace were brightly lit.
The mobilization of the army naturally requires some preparations. After all, the members and commanders of the royal family need to take an oath by drinking.After the mobilization meeting, there will be a farewell banquet, so the female workers in the palace kitchen got up early to work.
A touch of blue skirt appeared outside the kitchen door.
It's Princess Catherine.
The female workers put down their work and bowed to the visitor.
Facing the appearance of Princess Catherine, these female workers were not very surprised.This princess may be because she has not been favored since she was a child, she has no airs, and she likes to do many things by herself.
Before the celebration of major festivals, the other party also came to the back kitchen several times to see how they are preparing and what they have prepared to ensure that the celebration is foolproof.
Princess Catherine is very approachable, and she has no pretensions towards these kitchen girls. Sometimes when she hears that the girls lack something, she will try her best to find it for them.
Therefore, the kitchen girls did not reject the arrival of Princess Catherine, and greeted them with smiles.
"Please get up, you don't need to be too polite, you have worked hard."
A gentle and mellow voice sounded above the top of the head, with a calm and soothing tone, very pleasant to hear.
The female workers raised their heads one after another, and saw Princess Catherine's smiling face: "How are you getting ready?"
A girl boldly said: "The wine is ready, the roasted leg of lamb is placed outside, and the roast meat is burning on the stove. We are stewing fish soup and mixing vegetables, and the raw materials for oatmeal and polenta have been prepared." The ratio is good, and I will make some pastries later. Does the princess want to see it?"
Princess Catherine nodded and said with a smile: "Let me take a look. You guys are well prepared. I smelled the fragrance when I was outside. Why don't you come in and have a look."
The female workers were praised, and their faces without makeup showed a healthy blush, welcoming the easy-going princess in.
Princess Catherine stepped lightly into the threshold of the kitchen with her skirt in hand.
Like a smart deer, she doesn't care about the dirty situation in the kitchen. She looks here and there, and seems to be very interested in everything.
Finally, the princess walked up to a delicate flagon with her skirt in hand, gently picked up the lid with her slender fingers, and looked inside.
She turned around and said, "Is this the wine jug for us? Where are the soldiers' wine jugs? Or do they not use wine to warm themselves up before going out?"
The female workers saw that Her Highness the Princess didn't care much about the jugs used by the royal family, but cared about the soldiers' meals, and they were even more moved.
They are all residents of the royal city, and some of the soldiers in the royal city's army are their brothers or husbands.Seeing their loved ones being sympathized by the princess, they naturally feel the same way.
A female worker hurriedly said: "Princess Catherine, don't worry, the drinks for the soldiers have already been prepared. It's just that there are so many of them that they can't be filled with wine bottles, so we have prepared wine barrels for..."
Before she could finish speaking, there was a loud crackling sound outside the kitchen, accompanied by the dull sound of tables and chairs collapsing and heavy objects falling to the ground.
The faces of the female workers collectively changed.
There are still batches of wine barrels outside, a stove where potatoes are being roasted, and there are also roasted lamb legs juxtaposed on the table, and ingredients for oatmeal.
This is not something you can touch casually!
They quickly left the door almost without hesitation.
And Lu Fengdeng, who was still asking with a smile just now, turned around immediately, and a small container appeared out of thin air in his hand.He was still holding the wine jug lid with one hand, and with the other hand he had already opened the container and poured the juice inside into the wine.
The whole movement is very coherent and done in one go.
When he closed the lid, a small black shadow jumped out of the kitchen window.
Lu Fengdeng took it with his hand, put the flying little monster in his arms, and squeezed the soft tentacles: "Thank you for your hard work."
The little monster in the little princess dress beeped, looking very happy.
The big bad guy asked it to wreak havoc, and it did it well!
It is super happy to be able to help the big bad guy!
Lu Fengdeng said quickly: "I will give you a reward when I go back."
The little monster groaned again, and obediently accepted that the other party put him back in the inventory of the system panel.
It took only a minute for Lu Fengdeng to finish all this, and he quickly put the lid on the hip flask and ran out of the kitchen.
Princess Catherine quickly came out of the kitchen holding her skirt.
One of the barrels fell, but fortunately the cork on the barrel didn't fall off, it just rolled over to the other side.A table was overturned, and a roast leg of lamb fell directly to the ground, but the female workers had just picked it up.
It is not known who knocked these things down, and the shadow of the perpetrator was no longer visible when the female workers arrived.They didn't have time to chase after all, after all, they had to get everything ready at dawn, so they could only look at the leg of lamb they picked up in distress.
This is the storage room outside the kitchen. The floor is very dirty, and the leg of lamb has fallen to the floor, covered with dust.They don't have much water in reserve, and there aren't enough female workers.
If a female worker was sent to fetch water outside the palace to clean the leg of lamb, it is very likely that the food for the banquet will not be finished before dawn.
But it is also impossible to throw away the leg of lamb.
When the female workers were a little worried, Princess Catherine helped another female worker to lift up the barrel, and said with a smile: "I'll ask the guard to bring a bucket of water, you can go to the kitchen first, and come back later when the water comes." Handling the leg of lamb. It's just a little dirty, just clean it up."
The female workers did not expect that Princess Catherine would take the initiative to help them. They were overjoyed on the spot and thanked them repeatedly. The kind princess just shook her head and went out to call for help.
The leg of lamb problem was quickly resolved, and the mobilization of the army will proceed as scheduled.
As a member of the royal family, Lu Fengdeng stood under the stage and listened to the king on stage.
Although the other party was extravagant and unloving to the people, but probably because of his exaggerated personality, the mobilization speech was quite impassioned.
"...The Bandits robbed our supplies and despised our dignity! Soldiers of the Royal City, fight for your motherland!"
Lu Fengdeng sat on a chair on the lawn in an orderly manner, staring intently at the position on the stage.
After the speech is over, there is only the last process left for the mobilization meeting.
The delicate wine jug was brought up by the maid, and a full glass of wine was poured into the wine glass.
The army below, the generals leading the team, and some female workers in front of them opened the wine barrels and filled the wine glasses in front of them.
The king raised his glass pompously in the air, and then drank it proudly.
