The Original Vampire

　　 Looking at the suddenly glorious old king, Prince William did not show any unexpected expressions.

　　 seems to be so.

　　 The half-elf king swept away the air like a gossamer before, and his tone became sonorous and powerful, and asked Prince William:

　　 "What do you think about your brother's upcoming marriage to the adopted daughter of the Duke of the North?"

　　 "I will listen to your arrangements." Prince William lowered his head, seemingly afraid to look into his father's eyes.

　　 As the second son, Tupei actually married the adopted daughter of the Duke of the North. This incident obviously made Prince William, the eldest son, a little uncomfortable.

　　 But Prince William did not dare to express this dissatisfaction.

　　 "I'm asking what you think!" The half-elf king didn't seem to want to let go of his eldest son easily.

　　 "I... I have no idea..."

"Snapped!"

　　 The scepter in the hand of the old king swiftly swung out and hit Prince William's knee heavily.

　　 Prince William screamed, knelt down in front of the king, and shouted: "Father, I really dare not complain!"

　　 "Idiot!" the old king roared sternly, "Do you really think I arranged for Tupe to go to the north to marry Vera?"

"me……"

"Say!"

"I have no idea……"

　　 "Slap! Slap! Slap!"

　　 The scepter in the hands of the old king kept waving, raindrops hitting Prince William's back.

　　 Poor William didn't dare to resist at all, so he could only endure it silently, making several screams from time to time, as if he wanted to win his father's sympathy.

　　 After a long time, the old king finally got tired.

　　 I saw him sitting back on the bed panting, hating iron but not steel and yelling: "You don't know? Your grand prince, the future patriarch of the half-elf clan, told me you don't know?

　　Is it waiting for the enemy to hit in front of you in the future? The half-elf race is about to die. If the courtiers ask you what to do, you will only say--

　　 You have no idea? You do not know?

　　 No responsibility!

　　 no brains!

　　 If it weren’t for the fact that you are my only blood, I would have abandoned you long ago! "

　　 Facing the reprimand of the old king, Prince William shivered on the ground, unable to move.

　　 But what he didn't know was that such a cowardly attitude would only make his father more angry.

　　 The old king looked at his son, sighed, and did not speak for a long time.

　　The prostrate Prince William waited for a long time, but before his father was below, he raised his head cautiously.

　　 Then, he saw his father's indifferent and deep gaze.

　　 It was a look he had never seen before.

　　 Don't know why, Prince William suddenly felt a panic inexplicably.

　　 It seemed that something important in life had just left him.

　　 Before he could ask, the old king spoke again:

　　 "William, tell me, what is the survival way of our Modiwen family?"

　　 "Squeeze the chips in your hand!" Prince William replied quickly, as if a poor student finally found a question on the test paper that he could do.

　　 "Then tell me, what does this way of survival mean?"

　　 Prince William hurriedly searched his stomach, and then replied cautiously after a long while: "It means that we have to hold our chips tightly and don't bet lightly."

　　 "Why don't you bet easily?" The old king continued to ask without expression.

　　 Prince William was dumbfounded, so why did you ask additional questions?

　　 The phrase "I don't know" was swallowed by Prince William as soon as he reached his throat.

　　 He felt that if he dared to say that, he would definitely be beaten again.

　　 "I...I think...just...just...betting...be cautious..." Poor Prince William held back for a long time and couldn't say anything.

　　 The brilliance in the eyes of the old king is even more bleak.

　　 In desperation, he had no choice but to explain patiently: "Two giants are fighting, and you are a thin little boy. If you dare to join the battle group without your own strength, you will only end up in pieces!

　　 So, your best choice is to watch the battle.

　　 No matter how intimidating or enticing giants are, you can't easily end up until the situation becomes clear.

　　 You don’t have many chips in your hand, but they are very important.

　　 As long as you do not bet easily, it will become more and more important!

　　 As long as you don’t help each other, both sides need to draw you in.

　　You can use this to reap the source of the situation, and the strategic space for turning around will be larger.

Understand? "

　　 "Understood." Prince William nodded quickly, not knowing whether he really understood, or just want to lie to escape his father's blame.

　　 The look of the old king seemed disappointed.

　　 This phrase from the Modiwen family implies the blood and tears and suffering of the half-elves!

　　 has carried so many shameful and dirty transactions.

pity……

　　 The old king sighed and asked again: "So, now we are caught between the North and the East. Do you know what to do?"

　　 "Got it. As long as they don't know the winner, then we will never stand in line and never place a bet!"

　　 "Yeah." The old king finally had some smile on his face, as if he felt that his son was not too stupid to be hopeless.

　　 "Then, think about it again, is it really my arrangement for Tupe to marry Vera?"

　　 Prince William was smart this time, and he shook his head again and again: "No, father, you are so wise, how can you bet on the North at this critical moment."

　　 Seeing the old king nodded slowly, Prince William's confidence increased: "So, this is my brother's own opinion?"

　　 The old king’s face flashed with a hint of sullenness: "Humph! Of course there is that **** woman who is behind!"

　　 Prince William didn't dare to catch up this time.

　　Because he knows that the "bad woman" in the old king's mouth refers to the queen.

　　 Although it seems to outsiders that the half-elf king and the queen have a harmonious relationship, William knows very well that since the day the queen married into the royal family, his father has been dissatisfied with her in various ways.

　　 In the matter of adopting Prince Tupe, the two almost turned each other into a rival.

　　 The old king who pays attention to blood inheritance has never regarded Prince Tupe as his son, even if legally speaking, he is indeed the son of the king.

　　 If it were not for the Miller family from which the queen was born, the king would have abandoned her long ago.

　　 Now, the queen seems to want to use Tupe to marry Vera to win over the Duke of the North.

　　 This disregard of the overall situation clearly angered the old king who wanted to maintain neutrality and played balance between the east and the north.

　　 "The East Territory will send an envoy in a few days, and then ~www.NovelMTL.com~ you will receive it."

"Yes."

　　 "Remember, no matter how the people from the East are attracted and threatened, you should not go out and participate in person. Provide them with the necessary conveniences and let them fight the people from the North."

"I understand."

　　 Having said so much, the old king seemed to be tired, so he waved his hand to signal Prince William to retreat.

　　 Prince William saluted him immediately, but before he could walk out of the palace, the king stopped him again: "By the way, what happened to the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce that you asked you to investigate last time?"

　　 "I checked, there is nothing wrong with the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce, and business taxes are paid on time and in amount..."

　　 "Idiot!" The old king was angry again, "Am I asking you to investigate their tax evasion?"

　　 Prince William was dumbfounded.

　　The old king gasped for a long while before calming down his anger, and finally waved his hand frustratedly: "You continue to investigate."

　　 "Yes." Prince William responded tremblingly.

　　 "How is Little Charlie?"

　　 When the king asked his son, Prince William couldn't help but a smile on his face: "The little guy is very good. I have started to learn swords recently. It's just too naughty. The flowers and plants in the palace are in trouble..."

　　 "Send him to me tomorrow and stay with me for a while."

　　 Prince William nodded without doubting him, "Yes, Father."

　　 At this time, light footsteps sounded outside the palace. As soon as Prince William turned his head, he saw his father lying down on the bed swiftly.

　　 fell asleep in one second.

　　 "William, is your Majesty asleep?" The queen came in and asked in a low voice.

　　 "Yes, I fell asleep as soon as I came back."

　　 "Well, you can go back too."

"Yes."
