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

Philip originally just wanted to find an excuse to stay away from the Brunei lady. For some reason, he always felt that the lady was not as friendly to him as she showed on the outside.

But after walking a few steps, a servant came over and said to him respectfully, "Is this Your Excellency Philip? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you to come over."

Fili followed the attendants to a relatively quiet place, and found that Crete was talking to a beautiful blond girl.

Crete waved to him, waited for Fili to come over, and introduced to Fili: "This is my sister, Freya Phoenix. Freya, this is my subordinate magician Fili."

Freya, like Crete, has blond hair and blue eyes, fair complexion, abnormally pale lips, and looks like an exquisite doll.

The three brothers and sisters Crete, Danyat, and Freya were all born to the late queen. The queen died in childbirth when she gave birth to Freya. Although Freya survived, her health has not been good. Bedridden all year round.

It is also because of this that Freya is very attached to her elder brother Crete. Facing Crete's subordinate magician at this time, she did not show any princess gesture, but stretched out her hand very intimately: "Hello, Fei Your Excellency, I am Freya."

"Hi, Your Royal Highness Princess Freya..." According to the etiquette mentioned by Alan, it is time to say a compliment to the lady, but Fili, who was short of words, held back for a long time, and finally only choked out "You are so young and beautiful "Come.

Freya may have never heard such a simple and direct compliment, and she was stunned for a moment before laughing: "You are so funny."

"You're too proud... Uh, why don't you see His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Oh, I don't like the noise at the chief's side, so I came to this quiet place after saying hello to my father."

Philip and Her Royal Highness greeted each other with a few words of courtesy. The etiquette words in their stomachs were almost wiped out, and sweat started to suffocate on their foreheads. They quietly looked at Crete for help.

——Your Highness, what did you ask me to do? You don’t want me to chat with your sister, do you?

Critter watched Feili and Freya chatting leisurely, and after seeing Feili's begging gaze, he said, "Fili, I called you here this time because I want to tell you something."

"Please speak, Your Highness."

"Next month, the Queen of the Thunder Empire will abdicate, and the throne will be handed over to the Empress Dowager. My father is going to let me go to congratulate and watch the ceremony. I plan to take you there with me. What do you think?"

Huh, so the plot has already come here?

Because Crete didn't play cards according to common sense, Fili almost forgot where the plot was going now.

In the original book, the replacement of the throne of the Thunder Empire was in the mid-term. Crete was sent to the Thunder Empire, and naturally captured the heart of the queen who was about to become the Queen of the Thunder Empire. Later, Crete was attacked by the Black Phoenix. Betrayed, and succeeded to the throne as the Queen of the Thunder Empire, the harem resisted all opinions and supported Crete with all the power of the country, and finally became the queen of the Crete harem.

If a woman had to be chosen as the heroine in the original book, it must be her.

Philip's favorite in the original book is also the queen. She is smart, confident, powerful, and dares to love and hate, confident and decisive. Regardless of political affairs or feelings, she is a decisive character.

Crete seems to be going to see his future wife.

Thinking of this, Feili didn't know why he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Probably because Crete was going to pick up his favorite character so he made himself uncomfortable.Fei Li forcefully persuaded himself to ignore the abnormal feeling in his heart, and said to Crete, "It's enough for His Highness to just give you an order for this kind of thing?"

Crete smiled, and said tentatively: "I'm afraid that you have a fancy noble lady, which will delay your life's major events."

Fei Li blushed: "Your Highness, are you kidding me? How can I have a noble lady in my fancy?"

Crete raised his eyebrows and nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing Critter like this, Fili felt a strange feeling in his heart for some reason.

Freya said enviously: "That's great, I also want to play in the Thunder Empire."

"We're not here to play. You'd better take care of your body in the imperial capital first." Kritt gently persuaded, "After your body is completely cured, you can go anywhere you want."

Freya's face darkened slightly: "Yes, I understand, Brother Crete."

Seeing Freya's appearance, Kriter felt uncomfortable, gently stroked Freya's hair, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I already have a way to completely heal your body, but there are still some preparations. It's not finished, you wait a little longer."

Freya only thought that Crete was comforting herself, but Philip kept her attention—in the original book, Freya died in the rebellion of the black phoenix seizing the throne, and her body was sick and weak until she died. Look; Crete is now saying that he has a cure for Freya, maybe it's not empty talk?

Feili asked the system quietly in his heart: "Tong, Freya's body, can you exchange it for her medicine?"

"Hello, our system's exchange is omnipotent! As long as you have enough points, there are medicines for bringing the dead back to life!"

It's been a long time since I heard the system's Taobao accent, and Fei Li felt a little nostalgic for a while: "Then Crete wants to exchange medicine from the system for Freya?"

"How is it possible, Crete's points are far from that level of medicine." The system snorted, "Although he has quite a lot of points... he doesn't look like a host who has just experienced a world at all." .”

"Do you know how many worlds he has been to before?"

"Of course! What 0378 shared with me is the highest authority. Although the host's privacy can't be found, there are still mission records."

Fili was a little curious: "What world did Crete go to before?"

The system flipped through the records: "It should be a post-apocalyptic world, and the main task is to 'investigate the origin of zombies'."

Doomsday?Zombies?

Phil was speechless.He has also read some literary works on the theme of the end of the world. Living in this kind of world, let alone food and clothing, even survival faces challenges.Thinking about it this way, I am lucky to have come to this world.

However, Crete has experienced the apocalyptic world, and he can still be as kind and generous as a little sun, which really makes Philip feel ashamed.

While speaking, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed, and melodious music began to sound.

"It's time to dance." Freya looked at the direction of the dance floor in a daze, then turned her head and smiled at Kriter, "I don't know who Brother Kriter plans to invite to the first dance? I see all the nobles The girls are waiting for you."

The first dance at the ball is of great significance. It can almost be called a courtship dance. Most nobles will invite their favorite objects to dance; object to avoid unnecessary annoyance.

Now all the noble ladies in the ballroom didn't move, they were all looking in Kriter's direction, anxiously waiting for Kriter's choice.

Fili was also very curious about who Crete would choose to dance the first dance—although based on what he knew of Crete these days, Crete probably had no interest in these noble ladies, but maybe Crete was just Is it hidden deeply?

Besides, even if there is no one he likes, it is impossible for Crete, as the protagonist of this banquet, not to dance, and he hasn't finished watching the other people, are they all waiting for Crete's actions?

If Crete doesn't want to spread rumors, he can invite the female family members of the royal family to dance, but the only lady of the royal family present today is Freya, and Freya's body is obviously not suitable for dancing...

How would Crete choose?

All eyes were on Crete.

Kriter turned a blind eye to the eyes of the surroundings or the expectations, jealousy or worries. He walked up to Feili, smiled lightly, and stretched out a hand in a gentlemanly manner: "Your Excellency Feili, is it an honor to invite you to dance?"

Fili froze.

The noble ladies who were staring at Crete were also stunned.

Even Freya covered her mouth in surprise.

After a while, Feili came back to his senses, too flustered to look into Crete's eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness?! What are you kidding?"

"I'm not joking." Crete was not in a hurry, and repeated with a smile, "Is it an honor to invite you to dance?"

Feili felt that the gazes focused on him were about to materialize, making him wish he could rush out the door now, and found a reason in a panic: "I, I can't dance..."

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

Fili raised his head and met Crete's eyes. Crete's back was facing the gorgeous lights on the dance floor, but the brilliance in his eyes was even more dazzling than the lights.

Feli was almost engrossed in Kriter's gaze, and he stretched out his hand in a strange way, and put it on Kriter's hand that had been outstretched all the time.

Crete smiled, took Philip's hand, and led him to the dance floor.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the stage, and the condensed atmosphere around him finally thawed out. The nobles invited each other and danced together, as if nothing had happened just now.

——It’s just that the nobles dancing next stage are secretly looking at the beautiful young man in the arms of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After Fei Li left the stage, he woke up in a jerk, and almost wanted to slap himself in the face: Why did he agree to Crete's invitation just now?Did you drink too much?

Critter saw the undisguised annoyance and shame on Fili's face, and immediately laughed: "What's wrong, Fili?"

Fili didn't dare to look at Crete, and whispered, "Your Highness, I really can't dance..."

"It's okay, put your hands here, here..." Crete instructed Fili to straighten his posture, and then leaned into Fili's ear and whispered, "Just follow the rhythm, don't worry about the pace, just step on my foot foot."

Fili's ears were numb for a while, and he almost fell into Crete's arms.

It was not the first time that Critter saw Fili's sensitive ears, and he couldn't help laughing again.

After dancing to the rhythm of the dance music for a while, the fever on Fili's face gradually subsided, and his mood calmed down. Then he asked the question that he had been holding back in his heart: "Why did Your Highness invite me to the first dance?"

Crete raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and smiled, "Guess."

"..."

Your Highness, do you know what are the two most under-pronounced words in the 21st century?

Fili said blankly, "I don't guess."

Crete laughed again.Fili didn't even know why Crete was so happy today, was there any humor in what he said just now?

Crete was happy enough, so he was a little more serious, and said to Feili: "The rules of the royal family were mentioned when I told the story last time? No matter who I invite to dance today, there will probably be scandals. With his usual style, maybe he will directly help me make a marriage contract."

Philip curled his lips uncomfortably: "Then you can also invite someone who won't be rumored at all?"

"for example?"

"Like...uh, Mrs. Brunei?"

Crete's expression became a little less happy: "After staying by yourself for a short while, you met the most famous widow in the empire? Don't you know that this kind of lady is more likely to cause gossip?"

Tsk, I don't believe you still dare to snatch a woman from your father!

Fei Li muttered something in his heart, but his mouth was a little weak: "Then His Highness doesn't need to choose me, I feel that the eyes of those noble ladies are going to kill me alive."

Crete smiled again and winked at Fili: "Of course, the main reason I want to invite you is actually very simple, that is, I want to dance with you."

Fili blushed again.

After dancing to the song, Fili's back was drenched with sweat—Kriter didn't know what was going on today, his speech was ambiguous and vague, and he was always joking, which made his heart beat unsteady when he danced.

Could it be that Crete was stimulated by so many noble ladies, wanted to flirt with girls but was afraid of being responsible, so he used himself to practice?

Fili imagined without looking at the margins, trying not to think about more dangerous aspects.

As soon as he walked out of the dance floor, Fili couldn't wait to separate from Kriter - he now needs to stay away from this man who is exuding anger all over his body, so as to calm himself down.

Critter didn't stop Philip, looked at the back of Philip fleeing in a hurry, smiled ambiguously and sweetly, and then his own ears couldn't help turning red.

After dancing to a song, Fili is not the only one who needs to calm down.

Fili found a corner, took some food for himself, and tried to calm his mood with the satisfaction of his taste buds.

At this time, a smiling voice came from the side: "Your Excellency Feili and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really have a good relationship."

Philip turned his head and saw a noble lady approaching him gracefully, holding a glass of red wine in her hand. It turned out to be Mrs. Brunei who was still talking to Crete just now.

Philip laughed dryly: "Madam can really joke."

Mrs. Brunei smiled slightly, shaking the red wine in the glass like chatting: "I have watched His Highness Crete grow up. In the past, when His Highness attended a banquet, the first dance was to invite His Royal Highness. This is the first time someone outside the royal family has been invited."

"Oh... well, after all, I am His Highness's servant, and I am actually one of my own, ahaha..."

"Really?" Mrs. Brunei smiled, stopped talking about this topic, and started talking about other aspects, "Your Excellency Feili must have something special to win His Highness's favor, I don't know where your origin is? "

As long as you don't talk about the dancing just now, you can talk about everything else.

Fili recalled the information in the original book, and replied: "I was born in a small rural village in Domingland County. I was lucky enough to be chosen by His Highness and work for His Highness."

"Domingland County..." Mrs. Brunei thought deeply, "Domingland County can be regarded as the border area of ​​the empire. When my husband was still alive, I used to go to Domingland County. The Thunder Empire is visiting relatives. I don’t know what’s going on in Domingland County now?”

How did I know this, I don't have the memory of the original owner!

Philip laughed dryly, and could only say vaguely: "It's okay, that's it, hehe..."

Perhaps because she saw that Philip didn't want to talk about her parents, Mrs. Brunei smiled again: "The scenery and food in Celant County where I live now are unique, and I will go back next month. If Your Excellency Li is free, why not come and play?"

To be invited by Mrs. Brunei, for most of the other nobles, it is nothing more than a pie in the sky, but for Philip, it has a thrilling effect.

Fei Li quickly refused: "Next month, I will go to the Thunder Empire with His Royal Highness, and I can only live up to Madam's kindness."

Mrs. Brunei didn't take it seriously when she was rejected. Instead, she smiled understandingly: "That's His Highness's important business. Your Excellency Philip doesn't need to apologize."

Philip secretly wiped his sweat, thinking that the banquet tonight is really weird... He really can't stand it anymore, when will the banquet end?
