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

"His Majesty the Emperor, His Highness Danyat, Earl Hayman, Cardinal Leo..."

Philip struggled to read a long list of names on the survey results, and the more he read, the more frightened he became: "This Brunei lady is too... having affairs with so many people?"

From the outside, it is really impossible to tell that the Brunei lady is such an aristocratic courtesan.

Alan's face was very ugly: "More than [-]% of this list are nobles and ministers of the empire. What does this Brunei lady want to do?"

Crete chuckled lightly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Anyway, it won't be a good thing."

"I'm sorry Your Highness, because Mrs. Brunei has too many contacts at the same time, in order to avoid alarming the enemy, I didn't investigate more detailed information."

"It doesn't matter. After all, I was negligent. Women's social circle is also an important intelligence network. I forgot to pay attention to this aspect before."

"Although there is no sign yet...do I need to remind His Majesty the Emperor?" Alan asked worriedly.

Crete pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Now is not the time. Since this woman can maintain a secret relationship with so many people without causing disputes, either she conceals it well, or she has a good means. Now she is still Imperial Capital, in order not to overwhelm the enemy, you continue to investigate her purpose and relationship, and leave the rest for now until we return from the Thunder Empire."

"Okay." Alan nodded, and after he agreed, he felt that something was wrong, "Wait, Your Highness, you mean that you will not take me with you when you go to the Thunder Empire this time?"

"Yeah, you have to stay and deal with the affairs here, and continue to investigate Mrs. Brunei."

Alan opened his eyes wide: "But what about His Highness's affairs?"

Critter glanced at Feili: "I'm going to take Feili with me. You can teach Feili a few days and let him handle it when the time comes."

Fili almost spit out a mouthful of water: "Your Highness?! Are you kidding me?"

If Philip was asked to make a terrifying list, Alan's teaching would definitely rank in the top three!

It's almost like letting him relive the horrors of high school life!

Crete glanced at him with a half-smile: "You said before that you want to travel with me as a couple, and you must bear some corresponding responsibilities, right?"

I never said that!Feili almost fainted: That's what you summed up from your own misinterpretation of my words, okay?

Originally, Alan wanted to dissuade Kriter, but when he heard Kriter's words, he immediately held back—does His Highness despise him for being too light bulb...

He glanced at Fili, and sighed sadly: "Okay, I'll try my best."

Fili: "..."

No, you can try less hard...

Jie Luo, who was ignored, looked left and right, and asked, "What about me?"

Alan looked at him in surprise: "Huh? When did you come here?"

Gero: "..."

Crete smiled and said, "Jello, you can stay with Alan."

Alan suddenly became unhappy: "Why do you want him to accompany me?"

"Didn't you break his hand? You have to be responsible, right?"

"..."

Alan, who was full of anger, was full of artillery fire. Every day until the departure, Alan's only "student" Fili was forced to bear most of the firepower.

Together with the unqualified etiquette class before, Alan vowed to mold Philip into a perfect personal assistant to the crown prince in just [-] days.

——The reason why it is said to be most of the firepower is because Zero also comes to visit the house almost every day, or in other words, makes trouble.At this time, Fili can relax and hide aside to have a good rest.

The only shortcoming is that the eyes hurt from the scene of the dog and man who seem to be at war, but are actually flirting.

In this cold world, only the cat cub can bring him a little warmth.

In such painful and long torment, Philip looked forward to the stars and the moon and finally looked forward to the day of departure.

Before leaving, Fili solemnly handed the cat cub to Jie Luo, with tears in his eyes: "Jello, you must help me take care of the kitten, and don't forget to feed it three meals a day!"

Jie Luo held the cat by the back of the neck speechlessly: "Okay, okay, a broken cat, you have told me almost ten times in the past few days!"

"Be careful! If you lose a hair when I come back, I'll burn your beard!"

Crete and Alan were saying goodbye to each other over there.

After Yalan finally reported the recent intelligence summary, he still couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, do you really not need me to go with you? The Thunder Empire is not particularly friendly to us..."

Crete smiled and said, "No, I'm just going to watch the ceremony this time, not to fight—and besides, aren't there diplomats sent by Philip and my father?"

"I'd rather fight." Alan muttered.With the fighting power of His Highness Yasheng level, it is obviously safer to fight than politics and diplomacy.

However, the news that His Highness has broken through the sub-sage has already spread to the Thunder Empire, and the Thunder Empire will not seek humiliation - only a higher level of saint rank can stabilize the sub-sage, but now the saint ranks on the mainland They are all seniors who don't know how old they are. No matter how shameless the Thunder Empire is, they will never find seniors to bully the younger ones.

Even if the Thunder Empire is really shameless, the ability to survive and escape is not so easy for a sub-sage-level Phoenix bloodline.

"Okay, just wait at home and remember to do what I told you." Crete patted Alan on the shoulder, "Pay more attention to that Brunei lady."

After leaving the courtyard, Crete and Feli boarded the luxurious carriage dedicated to the royal family, and finally met the diplomatic team sent by Leif II at the main gate of the imperial capital.

Seeing the man in the bright armor on the white horse at the front, the smile on Crete's face became a little deeper: "I didn't expect you to be the diplomat of the Thunder Empire this time, Lord Hayman."

Fili pretended to be a quail behind Crete's back, and was taken aback when he heard the name: Isn't this a nobleman who had an affair with Mrs. Brunei in the previous Crete investigation results?

Philip glanced at Earl Hayman's hat secretly, and always felt that it was a little green.

Earl Heyman's attitude towards Crete was quite kind: "Your Highness, we will be working together for a while, please give me your advice."

Crete exchanged a few words with him, and Earl Heyman said again: "Since Your Highness has arrived, let's set off."

Critter nodded: "Then Earl Hayman has worked hard. Philip, let's go back to the carriage first."

After saying hello to Philip, they returned to their carriage together.

When Fili felt Earl Heyman's gaze shifted to him, he no longer faced the respectful and closeness of Crete, but became extremely cold and hard, as if he was carrying a knife.

If Crete hadn't been here, Fili seriously doubted that the Earl would have drawn out his knife and slashed himself.

what happened?I don't seem to have offended him?

Philip didn't dare to vent his anger, he shrank his neck and followed behind Critter, and got into the carriage against Earl Heyman's cold gaze. He didn't let out a breath until the carriage door blocked Earl Heyman's sight.

Through the gap in the carriage door, Philip saw that Earl Heyman finally stopped staring at this side, but turned his horse's head and went to the front of the convoy. He didn't know what he said, and after a while the convoy moved slowly. up.

Philip felt a little strange: "This Earl Hayman, doesn't he take a carriage?"

Riding in a carriage is much more comfortable than riding a horse. Is this earl so persevering?

Crete sneered: "He just likes to be in the limelight. On our way from the imperial capital to Chuga City, there are countless civilians watching. How could he let go of such a good opportunity to show off his heroism and gather popularity? ? When we got to Chuga City and switched to the teleportation circle, he enjoyed it even more degenerately than us."

In order to pretend to be b, he can ride such a long distance on horseback... This Earl Heyman is also a strange person!

Feli felt emotional in his heart, remembering Earl Heyman's undisguised hostility just now, he couldn't help but ask again: "Your Highness, why does this Earl Heyman seem a little hostile to me?"

Crete smiled meaningfully: "This Earl Heyman is the spokesperson of the Phoenix family."

Oh... Fili got it.

The Phoenix family hides behind the imperial family and interferes a lot with the royal family. Among them, marriage is the most legitimate interference and the easiest for the emperor to compromise.

Crete's suspected coming out at the banquet last month probably made the Phoenix family furious, and he hated himself even more for "seducing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"...

Feili burst into tears: Why did I not do anything, and suddenly I was involved in a vixen drama that ruined the country and the people?

"His expression may not mean that he really hates you, but it's just a gesture to show me, expressing the family's position—in fact, the clan members of the family should be more happy than angry now." Crete took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet of the carriage, smiled softly, and said with a bit of sarcasm, "They must think they have caught me now, and they can use you to force me to compromise in the future."

Just like the emperors of all dynasties.

Fili stared blankly at Crete, and suddenly realized: "So this is the reason why His Highness invited me to dance last month? Showing weakness to the enemy?"

The Phoenix family thought they had caught Crete's handle, but in fact they were just Crete's phoenix magician. Of course, Crete could pretend to be controlled by others to paralyze the judgment of the Phoenix family, while secretly making trouble...

It sounds a bit miserable, it was completely used as a shield by Crete!

Crete turned his head, fixedly looked into Fili's eyes, and sighed: "Is that why you miss me?"

Philip didn't know why he felt guilty.

Crete suddenly smiled again, patted Fili's head, and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Fili opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound—his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Crete did not continue to talk about this topic, but instead took out a brocade box from the carriage cabinet, and smiled at Feili: "This trip is no more adventurous than the last time. You have to face many things. I have prepared a gift for you. for you."

Fili tried his best to suppress his heartbeat that had accelerated for a moment: "What gift?"

Crete opened the box, picked up a delicate bracelet, and smiled slightly: "Hold out your hand."

Fili stretched out his right hand in a daze.

"Although it is difficult to get a space ring that ordinary people can use, but you are now an intermediate magician, and you can still use the magic items stored in it."

Critter explained while holding Fili's hand, stroking it twice pretending to be inadvertent, and feeling that Fili wanted to withdraw his hand, he smiled and tied the bracelet on Fili's wrist, and finally patted Fili's palm: "How about taking a look?"

Feli was enveloped by the undisguised tenderness in Critter's eyes, feeling his head was all messed up, and subconsciously asked, "Why did you give me this?"

Crete laughed, and his handsome face looked even more charming under the blessing of a gentle smile: "Of course it's because I want to send you off."

Fili was indulged in Critter's smile, and a thought that he had deliberately avoided before suddenly flashed in his heart:

——Kriter couldn't... fall in love with me, right?
