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

Just when Feili was secretly praying in his heart for someone to save him, it seemed as if a god really heard Feili's prayer, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder.

Is it Crete who is never late?

Fili looked back in surprise, and it turned out to be someone he didn't expect—Prince Danyat.

Danyat still had that jumpy look, and smiled at Feili: "Your Excellency, Feili, I'm sorry, I have something to talk to Mrs. Brunei, can I borrow a little time?"

As if being pardoned, Fei Li hurriedly said: "Your Highness has important business, I just chatted with Madam a few times, then I will take my leave first."

Danyate was very satisfied with Philip's reply, he waved his hand carelessly, then turned to Mrs. Brunei and said, "Ma'am, can I take a step to talk?"

Mrs. Brunei saw Fei Li running away like a bunny, she couldn't help but shook her head with a smile, and said to Danyate, "Then please Your Highness lead the way."

After a banquet, Philip was physically and mentally exhausted.

No matter where he goes, there will be noble ladies looking at him with strange eyes, and there will be a few bold girls, like Mrs. Brunei, who will come up to chat with him. Of course, the key point is "what is your relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" .

Fei Li prevaricated everything with "I am the subordinate magician of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince", and then asked "I don't know" and "I don't know either".

Philip originally thought that his status as a magician would make these noble ladies retreat, but they didn't expect them to have almost no abnormal expressions about Philip's status as a magician.

——If you think about it, the profession of magician is closely integrated with the aristocratic class in the Phoenix Empire. Many noble children will worship the magicians of the Magician Association as their teachers and learn a little magic. Increase the ability to protect themselves; and magicians who turn to nobles can also get more stable financial support, which can be used to buy more materials for practicing magic.

Like the Tualante family where Vera belongs, it is also the leading magician family among nobles. Almost everyone in the whole family knows magic.

Among the few noble ladies who came up to test out just now, there may be some who are also magicians.

When Crete found Fili, Fili was hiding pitifully in a corner, eating a dessert while sighing.

Seeing Crete approaching, Fili had already forgotten the thought of wanting to escape while dancing, and stood up as if seeing a savior: "Your Highness!"

Critter smiled meaningfully, and said to Feili: "Look, it's better to stay by my side, right?"

Fili: "..."

Damn it, doesn't the instigator feel any guilt at all?

"The banquet is coming to an end, let's go back." Crete naturally took Philip's hand and smiled, "Alan is already waiting for us outside."

At this time, an attendant ran over from a small trot, saluted Crete, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty, please go to the side hall for a briefing."

Crete raised his eyebrows, seemingly unsurprised: "Finally called me? I thought he would endure it until tomorrow."

The attendant smiled dryly and dared not speak.

Crete turned to look at Fili: "Then go out first, Alan is at the main entrance, I'll come later."

Seeing Crete leaving leisurely with the attendants, Philip felt something wrong in his heart: "Tong, what's going on with Crete tonight? Do you want to lose your temper with Rafe II?"

The system said quietly: "Maybe it's because he can't help himself, he can't help himself, and he wants to come out to the whole world and announce his relationship with you?"

"He and I... have nothing to do with each other, what a fart!" Feili became furious, "If you joke around again, I will block you!"

"Block the black? Do you have this function?"

"……I will sue you!"

"Okay, now I am customer service, what is the content of your complaint? I will make a record."

"..."

Fei Li couldn't beat the system, and walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall angrily.

Halfway through, his stomach was a little bloated, and he turned to the toilet again—no way, he ate too much snacks tonight, and he needed to release it quickly.

After coming out of the toilet, just as Fei Li was about to return to the banquet hall, he saw a servant walking over: "Your Excellency Fei Li, are you leaving?"

"um, yes."

"Then you can go through the back garden from here, and you can go directly to the main entrance, which is closer than returning to the banquet hall." The attendant warmly showed him the way.

Philip thanked the attendant, and walked towards the road leading to the back garden—it just happened that he didn't want to go back to the banquet hall to receive another round of baptism of eyes, so let's go this way.

Just walking to a corner of the back garden, the system suddenly reminded Feili: "Attention! There are people ahead!"

Fili was taken aback, stopped in his tracks, and listened carefully. There was indeed a vague voice coming from the front, and it sounded quite familiar.

Feili suddenly became curious, and quietly performed a breath restraint technique on himself, then tiptoed a few steps closer, and listened carefully.

Only a male voice was heard saying: "Sister Medel, please forgive me, I think you are thinking too hard..."

Another female voice said softly: "You can just talk poorly. When I'm not around, let's see how many women you have taken in!"

"I don't want to either, who told us that our Phoenix bloodline has to vent..."

"Hmph, why doesn't your brother care as much as you do?"

"Sister Madele, don't you like my brother? That makes me so sad!"

"Do you think everyone is like you? I'm not that kind of indiscreet woman."

"I knew Sister Madele loved me the most! You're going back next month, these few days..."

Fili felt a little ashamed when he heard it.

When the male voice mentioned the phoenix bloodline, Fili recognized that it was Crete's biological brother, Prince Danyat.

And that female voice sounded familiar, but there were so many nobles attending the banquet tonight, Philip couldn't remember which one it was.Some noble lady from some family is having a tryst with His Royal Highness Danyate.

It's a bit immoral to listen to such things in the corner!

Hearing some blushing voices from behind, Fei Li quickly held his breath and retreated quietly.

On the other side, when Crete walked into the side hall, he saw Rafe II frowning, standing there alone, quietly looking at the oil paintings on the wall.

Crete walked to the sofa, sat down without hesitation, and looked at his father: "Father, are you looking for me?"

Rafe II turned around, still frowning, and looked at Crete seriously: "I think you should know what I want from you."

"Oh, is it because of Philip?" Kriter didn't play tricks with Leif II, and said directly, "As you can see, I plan to make him your daughter-in-law and the future queen of the empire."

Although Leif II, who had known Crete's character and style for a long time, had expected this answer, he was shocked by the confirmation from Crete, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

After a long while, he sighed, and his voice became cold and solemn: "If you choose him, let alone the future queen, maybe the future emperor will have to be replaced."

Crete was not frightened by Leif II's words, but laughed instead: "Oh? Who will replace me, you?"

Leif II was silent for a moment before slowly answering: "As a father, I certainly hope that my child can be with the one I love; but as the emperor of the empire..."

Crete raised his eyebrows: "As the emperor, when you consider the successor, don't you judge it from the success of the successor? Then among the candidates you have now, are there any candidates who are better than me?"

Leif II stared at his son, and suddenly laughed: "You are such a brazen son, I doubt if it is my own."

"If your mother hears this, you may have to sleep on the carpet for a week."

Thinking of the deceased queen, Leif II's expression became softer, he no longer assumed the majesty of the emperor, sat beside Crete, and sighed: "You are the best of my sons——no, Perhaps among the previous emperors, apart from the ancestor, His Majesty Phoenix I, there is no one who is better than you."

Crete laughed again, and said, "I think the sentence 'except' can be removed."

Leif II glared at him: "How can you be disrespectful to your ancestors!"

After a pause, the expression on Leif II's face became complicated: "An excellent person like you will naturally not tolerate being restrained by the Phoenix family after becoming emperor. I understand that."

Crete raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

"But you have to understand that as a qualified emperor, the power struggle should give way to the peace of the empire. You have to understand what is the biggest threat to the empire! Now the Thunder Empire's attitude towards us is getting more and more fierce, maybe in the future How long will war break out - at this delicate time, there should not be too intense conflicts with the family.

"And with your ability, after succeeding to the throne in the future, if you slowly erode and persecute the family, and boil frogs in warm water, you may not be able to take back the power of the family; no matter how bad it is, it is completely fine for the family to tolerate your relationship with that Philip.

"At this time, you are directly confronting the family, not to mention whether your little friend will be retaliated by the family, the power of the empire will inevitably be turbulent, and the stability of the empire will also be affected-and if the Thunder Empire attacks at this time Now, what do you do? The empress dowager of the Thunder Empire is not inferior to you in politics, do you think she will not be able to seize this opportunity?"

After listening to Leif II's serious analysis, Crete stopped laughing and his expression became serious.He tapped the armrest of the sofa lightly, looked at Rafe II seriously, and said slowly:

"Then what if I tell you that the biggest threat to the empire is not the Thunder Empire, and even the Thunder Empire itself started to provoke us because of the huge threat?"
