Struggling to survive in the hands of the male protagonist who also wears books

Two days later.

Imperial Palace.

The banquet hall was full of wine, and the noble ladies in beautiful evening gowns gathered together and chatted with each other, but a discerning eye could tell that their minds were not on the conversation at all, and they all pretended to be nonchalant and quietly watched the main entrance of the banquet hall.

This banquet was held to celebrate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's breakthrough of Yasheng.

The current crown prince of the empire, Crit Phoenix, has a handsome appearance and a calm personality. A few years ago, he has reached level 7 strength. He is already the best among the Phoenix bloodlines in the past, and has attracted the hearts of countless noble ladies. .

And a while ago, news broke out that His Highness Crete had quietly broken through to the sub-sage level!

That is the highest level below the mainland holy rank!

His Highness Crete is only 20 years old this year!

After the news was jointly proved by the royal family and the Association of Magicians, all the school-age girls in Elodidu were going crazy.

Handsome, gentle, and powerful, is there a more standard dream lover than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not had any gossip about having a confidante so far, which makes thousands of girls believe that His Highness must be a dedicated and good man, not as promiscuous as other princes.

So as soon as the news of the banquet held by the royal family came out, all the noble girls racked their brains to get invitations to enter the venue, and then dressed up in the most beautiful appearance, and entered the venue in advance to wait for the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The appearance of many girls staring at the door like quails made the other guests at the banquet want to laugh.

The chief nobleman smiled at His Majesty the current Emperor Leif II and said, "His Royal Highness is much more popular than your Majesty back then."

Leif II is an easy-going middle-aged man, he was not angry when he heard the words, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Haha, Crete is actually just so-so, in fact, he is also very troublesome."

Seeing Leif II's pretentious appearance, the other nobles spat in their hearts: Bah, you almost have the word "show off" written on your face!Everyone here is old acquaintances, who are you pretending to show!

People like Crete are "average", so what are the juniors in their respective families?

At this time, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.A nobleman looked up and said with a smile, "Look, the protagonist of our banquet is here."

At the entrance of the banquet hall, Crete was dressed in a handsome black and blue dress, with neatly combed hair, leading Philip, who was also well-dressed, into the room.

The noble ladies were all looking forward to His Highness the Crown Prince, but when they saw the lover of their dreams leading a man into the banquet hall, their expressions suddenly became strange.

Feli felt uncomfortable with the strange sights around him, subconsciously hid behind Kriter, and the hand held by Kriter moved, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, can you let go?"

Before entering the door, Crete said that noble banquet companions should hold hands together, so he insisted on entering... Although Philip did see that the nobles entering the venue were all holding hands and paired, but not all of them were male. Is it a girl?

The two of them are also holding hands?

Crete let go of Fili's hand graciously, and said with a smile, "Well, I'll take you to see your father first."

Seeing that Crete and that beautiful boy were no longer holding hands, the surrounding noble ladies were all relieved: It’s okay, it seems that His Highness Crete doesn’t have any unusual hobbies...

Then these noble ladies swarmed towards Crete with graceful steps, seemingly casual but impatient.

Crete directly ignored the affectionate eyes of these young girls, and brought Philip to the head of the banquet, and saluted Leif II who was sitting at the head seat: "Father."

Rafe II nodded with a smile: "Kriter, the atmosphere in the whole banquet hall has been heated up since you appeared on the stage. The ostentation is bigger than mine."

Crete also laughed and said, "After all, my father is getting old, and I'm still young."

Rafe II scolded with a smile: "You bastard!" Then he turned his head to look at Feili, with a friendly smile and a little curiosity, "Who is this?"

Philip listened to their father and son teasing each other, and was still thinking that the relationship between Crete and Leif II was so close, which was completely different from the royal father-son relationship he imagined, when he was suddenly named by Lefe II, and hurriedly followed the previous He learned the etiquette and bowed to Leif II, and replied:

"Hello, Your Majesty, this is our first meeting. I am Fei Li, a magician who is the servant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After speaking, he took a sneak look at Leif II's left hand - on the ring finger of Leif II's left hand, he wore a pure gold-backed ring with crimson fire patterns, and a scarlet gem was inlaid on the ring.

It is the Phoenix Ring that is closely related to Philip's mission.

"Oh? It turned out to be a retinue magician." Leif II smiled a little bit, looked at Fili up and down, and nodded with a smile, "He's a good boy."

The retinue magician declared by the royal family is actually the Phoenix magician.Leif II, who also has the blood of the phoenix, is of course very clear about this.

"This is my second brother, Danyate Phoenix." Crete pointed to the young man standing behind Rafe II, and introduced to Philip.

Fili quickly saluted.

Danyat looks less than 20 years old and looks similar to Crete, but his temperament is very different.If Crete is calm with a touch of gentle fir, then Danyate is lively with a touch of enthusiasm.

Danyate obviously didn't have much interest in Philip, so he hurriedly said hello and asked impatiently: "Brother, I've already said hello, can I have something to eat first?"

Seeing that Danyat's eyes had been glancing in the direction of the group of noble ladies, Crete suddenly laughed: "Go, be careful."

Danyate smiled: "Don't worry, I know!"

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Fili saw Danyate happily walking towards the gathering place of the group of noble ladies, and chatted with one of the ladies after a while, and soon made the other party's cheeks blush.

"This scene looks familiar." Fili complained to the system in his heart, "This scene in the original book seems to basically happen to Crete?"

"After all, he is the heir of the Phoenix bloodline." The system curled his lips, "Although Danyate's Phoenix bloodline is not as deep as Crete's, the degree of love is comparable."

Fortunately, no matter in the original book or now, the relationship between Crete and the Danyat brothers is very good, otherwise the fight would probably be because of a woman.

Critter watched his younger brother go to Lieyan, shook his head and asked Leif II: "How is Freya? Did you come over today?"

Speaking of his frail daughter, Leif II's smile faded a little, and he sighed, "Freya has gotten better recently, but she is still the same. I told her not to come too early, it should be later will arrive."

Speaking of Princess Freya, Philip shrunk his neck subconsciously—after all, the beloved sister of Crete in the original book died at the hands of Black Phoenix...

Critter didn't look surprised, nodded, turned to Fili and said, "Fili, go and eat something by yourself first, I still have something to do, you can come here to find me if you have anything to do."

Fei Li had long been restless in the sight of the nobles and ministers around him. With Crete's promise, he quickly saluted and ran away.

Finding a remote corner, Philip took some food, looked at the delicate desserts and mellow red wine, and sighed in his heart and system: "It's so luxurious and depraved!"

Look at the food at the palace banquet, and then think about the first barbecue I ate on credit when I first traveled here...

The system said sourly: "Is it delicious? I want to eat it too."

Fili swallowed the dessert in his mouth: "You are a system, why do you still want to eat?"

The system said unwillingly: "What's wrong with the system, the system also has seven emotions and six desires, okay?"

"Oh, if you can't eat it, I'll help you eat it—tsk tsk, it's so delicious! It's a pity you can't eat it!"

The system is so angry that it wants to break up.

Fei Li chatted with the system while eating dessert, but he didn't notice that two people approached him.

When he raised his head, he happened to see two women standing opposite each other, looking at him wolfing down with a smile.

One of them Fili still knew, turned out to be Vera Tualante whom he hadn't seen since the end of the adventure.

Vera saw Feili eating so much cream that his mouth was full of cream, and looked disgusted: "Didn't Alan teach you noble etiquette, why are you still so shameful?"

Philip smiled sheepishly, took the napkin and wiped his mouth clean before saying hello, "Long time no see, Vera."

Vera curled her lips: "You are free, these days because of the undead, I am exhausted in the Association of Magicians."

Fei Li heard from Yalan that after Vera reported the reappearance of the undead to the mainland, it immediately attracted the attention of the Magician Association. Evernight tundra, just don't know how to harvest.

"I heard that the President personally went to the Evernight Tundra? Do you know what the result will be?"

"No, after the teacher went to the Evernight Tundra, the undead disappeared, and only some of the corpses remained, but nothing unusual was found." Vera said with a bad face, "It's Crete who came from that The thing taken from the strange magic circle made the teacher a little concerned, but Crete refused to take it out, saying that it was a royal secret, hmph."

These words reminded Feili that Crete had taken a red bead from the magic circle at that time, which made him feel very familiar, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he had to put it down for the time being.

After inquiring about some news about the Magicians Association with Vera, Philip remembered that there was another person beside him.It was too rude to leave the other party completely ignoring and only talking to Vera, so Philip quickly apologized to the woman.

The woman appeared to be in her 30s, dressed very plainly, with a dark dress and rolled-up hair revealing a mature charm.

She didn't mind Feili's apology, and smiled slightly: "You don't need to be so polite, Your Excellency Feili, to hear you and Vera discuss some magician topics is also a big improvement for an ordinary person like me." I don’t know much about it.”

Vera held the woman's arm cordially, and introduced to Feili: "This is the Countess of Brunei from Serrant County, and she is my good friend."

Mrs. Brunei smiled faintly, and extended her hand generously to Feili: "Hello, Your Excellency Feili, it's the first time to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Philip politely responded to Mrs. Brunei's greetings, but his eyes were a little subtle.

Because this Brunei lady is still a character mentioned in the original book.

Mrs. Brunei's original name, Philip, did not remember. I only remembered that when she was young, she married the Earl of Brunei who was several decades older than herself. Without children, all property is inherited by the wife.

This widow became the woman that countless little nobles in the empire talked about, and countless men wanted to win her favor, so that they could jump over the dragon's gate and obtain a large amount of family property and noble status.

But Mrs. Brunei is not a slouch in the eyes of the nobles. In order to avoid the tireless harassment of suitors, she stayed away from the imperial capital and moved to Serrant County, the hometown of the Earl of Brunei. She only occasionally accepts invitations. Go back to the imperial capital to socialize.

But Feili remembered this woman not because of her status as the countess, but because she was the only one among the well-known beauties who appeared in the aristocratic circle in the early days who did not enter the harem of Crete.

The reason why Mrs. Brunei did not enter the harem of Crete is also very simple-she is the secret lover of the current emperor Leif II of the empire.

Although Mrs. Brunei looks only in her thirties, she is actually about 40 years old, and she is a close friend of the late queen, the mother of Crete, and is also very familiar with Raefe II.

Although the Phoenix family has strict supervision over the lovers of the royal family, Leif II is the emperor of the empire after all, and there is always a way.

Facing the emperor's secret lover now, Fei Li couldn't help but behave more cautiously, for fear of being misunderstood that he had other thoughts about her.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fei Li said goodbye and left in the name of "looking for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince".

Seeing Fei Li walking away, Mrs. Brunei slowly put away the gentle smile on her face, and asked lightly, "Is that him?"

Vera nodded, bit her lower lip and asked, "Is he..."

Mrs. Brunei nodded: "You feel right."

Vera's face changed slightly.

Mrs. Brunei patted Vera on the shoulder comfortingly, and sighed silently.
