The Duke in the Spire of Thorns

Celeste was used to the letters that Escrit would send every few days, but he still claimed that he never came to read them, and the purpose of taking the letter back to the room was to burn it.

Noyce didn't expose him and acted very calmly.Today he also received a letter from the Os Empire.He signaled Celeste not to leave, picked up the letter opener and opened the letter.

Celeste stuffed the letter that belonged to him into his pocket, and then twisted his hands unconsciously.

"There was a letter for me today."

Noyce looked at Celeste out of the corner of his eye, trying to distract him so that his cousin wouldn't look so much like a little squirrel rushing home to hide something, "Let me Look at, um, the official letter from the Os Empire, signed by Duke Duck."

The name Duke Dak is quite familiar, because he basically wrote the official letters from the Aussie Empire to the St. Peder Empire. Celeste took a few steps forward and stood behind Neuss, intending to have a relationship with him. watch together.

"Hmm... Maybe they plan to start the formal marriage process with us."

Noyce guessed that this sentence successfully diverted Celeste's attention.

He looked annoyed, and there was some uneasiness in his annoyance, "Stop talking nonsense, Noyce." Celeste pushed Noyce's shoulder urgently: "Open it, quick."

"It seems that you can't wait for that princess, right?" Noyce raised his eyebrows and unfolded the letter paper.

"Oh... King Os is celebrating his birthday."

Noyce looked at the lines of beautiful cursive characters on the letter, and suddenly realized: "I forgot, we should send an ambassador to congratulate King Oss."

On the beautiful gold thread paper, Duke Duck's wording appears very graceful—it's more like a riddle than graceful.Celeste couldn't help but comment.

However, he was already used to this kind of correspondence, he leaned on Noyce's shoulder, stared at the letter paper, and sneered sharply and loudly: "The annual contribution day is coming again, it's just wonderful! "

Noyce patted Celeste's head reassuringly, and said reassuringly, "Don't do this."

"I'll go this time."

Celeste said reluctantly: "You are already the king, I can't let you go anymore."

Noyce touched his head, "Actually, other people can go, well, we still have a lot of dukes here."

"Don't be stupid." Celeste said: "The other dukes don't have royal blood, and those mean people from the Ossi Empire, if someone else goes, guess what they will do?"

The territory of the San Pedro Empire is only one-third of the Os Empire. Even better, the San Ped Empire is half surrounded by the Os Empire, like a mother holding her child.

"It's unlucky, it seems that we met the meanest mother in the world." Celeste sneered: "I hope their appetite doesn't kill them."

Noyce's answer to this was to take off the crown from his own head and put it on Celeste's head, "Okay, my dear prince, don't be so angry."

In fact, there is a good reason for Noyce to be called this. The previous generation who inherited the throne should have been Celeste's father, Simon Bradley, but he refused to marry the princess of the Os Empire, and even He also fell in love with an oriental noble lady. For this reason, he gave up his position as the crown prince and was willing to be a prince.

Therefore, Noyce often jokingly called Celeste "my little prince".

"Don't call me that."

Celeste took off the crown from her head and put it heavily on the table, "That always makes me feel like you are calling your son... By the way, this thing is really heavy, it almost broke my neck crush."

"Hmm, now you know how much I usually suffer?"

Noyce was rummaging through last year's gift list, without looking back, he said, "It's like a stone is on my head with this thing on my head."

Hillest nodded in agreement, and he didn't intend to leave now. He walked to the fireplace, turned his back to Noyce, and after making sure that Noyce had no intention of turning around, he quietly took out the The letter Escrito had sent him, looking furtively.

"—Wow! Your knight commander is going to pick you up in person, it's so considerate!"

Celeste was concentrating on the letter written to him by Escrit. The letter from his former knight commander was thick, with four pages in total. Celeste was just reading the second page when he was caught. He was startled by the voice behind him. Like a thief whose theft was discovered, he stuffed the letter in his pocket and turned his head in a panic, "Noyce!"

"Don't be so loud, dear." Noyce made an ear digging motion: "I can hear you."

"I read this letter to see if there is any news related to this time!"

"A good reason." Noyce said with a smile: "But I didn't ask you, why are you so eager to explain? You know, your favorite thing to say is 'I don't think I have an obligation to report to you'. "

The king imitated Celeste's usual arrogant tone: "Thank you for your concern, you are very kind, but unfortunately I don't think I need to report to you."

Celeste: "..."

For the first time he blushed in bewilderment.

"Okay, okay." Noyce also knew not to tease him too much, or it would cause negative effects. "Let's talk about something serious. Did Escrit tell you anything?"

Celeste took out the letter from his pocket with a cold face. The roughed-up letter paper had become a little crumpled and looked particularly miserable.

"Take it and see."

Celeste emphasized: "I have no interest in it."

Noyce smiled tolerantly, reached out to take the letter, and glanced at it, consciously ignoring the yearning for Celeste, the "master" expressed between the lines in Escrit, and only looking at the useful ones. information.

Even so, after reading it, Noyce's teeth were still a little gritty.

He glanced vaguely at Celeste who was waiting with his hands behind his back, and decided to play a little prank: "What are you waiting for? Do you want to see it too?"

Celeste: "...allow me to remind you that this letter was meant for me."

"Oh!" Noyce made an expression of sudden realization: "But I remember that you planned to burn it. This letter is still quite useful, and I plan to keep it as a document."

His tone was so serious that Celeste almost believed it, but the next second, Noyce couldn't help laughing out loud. While laughing, he returned the letter in his hand to Celeste: "Look carefully. Look, your little sweetheart loves you so much that you can't extricate yourself, when he arrives, I think you can hold each other and cry for a while, and tell each other how much you miss."

"It's so strange." After Noyce finished laughing, he returned to his seat and continued to pick up the gift list to study, "You bullied him so much, why is he still so loyal to you? Why is there no such person around me? "

He said regretfully: "If I had a man like Escrit beside me, I don't think I would mind if he wanted to sleep in the same bed with my queen."

"What if he wants to sleep in the same bed as you?"

Celeste couldn't help asking back, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it, for no reason, he was a little guilty.

"Then sleep." Noyce had no idea: "I can completely treat him as my brother, and it's okay to share the same bed."

Celeste gave a fake cough and began to read the gift list with Noyce.

"So many things are sent every year." He watched and couldn't help complaining, "God doesn't even want so many."

"Calm down, honey."

There was no emotion on Noyce's face, "Trust me, we will let them give us gifts in turn one day."

"I'm going to do that when I'm in the position, trust me."

Noyce said: "Now we can't conflict with them for the time being, we can only send a little more gifts to paralyze them, but I promise, within ten years, I will be able to bring down the Aussie Empire, and then I will give it to you, let you Get a taste of what it's like to be a king."

Celeste took a deep breath, "Don't be stupid, Noyce, I don't want to be a king."

"When the time comes, you will sit on the throne like a fool and spend your whole life in a foreign country. If you want to talk to you, you can only write letters?"

Neuss looked down at Celeste. Celeste has a natural noble temperament. Although he is spoiled and sometimes self-willed, it is difficult to recruit, but he can make people want to take the world The best things are held in front of him.

"Are you kidding me?"

Noyce laughed: "Do you want to hug my brother? For this touching affection."

The expression on Celeste's face changed immediately, and the touch that just rose from his heart turned into disgust, "Don't be so nasty, Noyce."

Then they both got down to business,

"The overall value remains the same, but things have to change slightly."

According to this principle, they began to draft this year's gift list according to the previous gift list, and discussed and discussed a certain item from time to time.

It didn't take long for the people of the Os Empire to come to the San Peder Empire.

This is unprecedented. After all, the two countries are called to establish diplomatic relations on an equal footing, but in fact the Aussie Empire is powerful, and when facing the St. Peter Empire, it is always condescending.

"You're really radiant today."

Noyce couldn't resist saying, and Celeste shrugged, "It's a basic courtesy to dress up for an occasion like this."

"Yes, yes." Noyce smiled, and suddenly, he seemed to remember something: "By the way, the Marquis Smedley is waiting to see you."

Celeste: "..."

As if suddenly stopped, he silently withdrew his foot that was about to step out.
