Chapter 497 "Genius"
When His Majesty Pope exited the stage, the music immediately stopped. All the guests on the dance floor also stopped their dance and retreated to the side to send off the Pope.
"Humph, fraud." Just as the Pope exited the hall, a soft and tender voice suddenly sounded.
Du Wei froze for a moment before bursting into laughter. Because the one who said this was none other than Prince Charlie!
Just when Du Wei was about to say something, Prince Son had already stood up and raised his hands. Soon, the hall quieted down.
Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, the old emperor Augustine the 6th also left the stage to rest. Prince Son gave Du Wei a look and the two followed behind Groome.

"Why are you so angry when you're hiding?" Walking out of the hall and through a corridor behind the palace, Prince Son suddenly asked Du Wei: "This isn't like you at all, Du Wei. From what I remember, your patience has always been very good. "
Du Wei faintly smiled: "If I didn't get angry and make the scene a bit more awkward … … God knows how long that Pope would sit here and chat for! So I purposely took this opportunity to vent my anger so he wouldn't leave. "
With that, he glanced at the tailor in front of him and was about to say something.
But before he could say anything, Prince Son suddenly opened his mouth and had the two court mages send the "emperor" back to the palace to rest. Then he had Du Wei and the two little ones follow him to the study room!
Du Wei's heart sank as he couldn't help but glance at Groome. At the same time, the tailor was also looking at Du Wei. A trace of despair could be seen in Groome's eyes as he bitterly smiled.
Du Wei's heart suddenly moved. Stopping his steps, he looked at Prince Son: "Your Highness, can I go back with His Majesty first … … I have something I need to take care of."
"Oh?" Prince Son raised an eyebrow.
Du Wei looked relaxed and smiled faintly. "Have you forgotten the 'medicine' I gave His Majesty a few days ago when he wasn't feeling well? I said at the time that the medicine would lose its effect once its effect was up. I need to … "
Prince Son frowned and thought for a moment. Then he glanced at his subordinates: "How about this, you guys send Father back first, and then … … Later on, Duke Tulip will come over and give him the medicine."
Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew this was Prince Son hinting to his men to not be in a hurry to kill Groome. Looking at Groome, Du Wei sighed. The meaning in his eyes was obvious: Let's just live a little longer!
•
Inside the Regent's study room, Prince Son was obviously in a good mood as he praised his son. Tonight, Prince Charlie's performance was very amazing. At such a young age, he was able to face the Pope with a calm demeanor that made Prince Son very proud.
But in the face of his father's praise, Little Charlie's face suddenly turned red. After a moment of hesitation, he finally opened his mouth and said a truth that surprised everyone present:
"Father, the truth is … … I didn't think of the words I refuted."
"You didn't think of it yourself?" Prince Son was startled.
"Mhmm, I didn't think of it myself." Little Charlie turned around and held his sister's hand, sincerely saying: "At that time, the two of us were sitting there, watching you and the Pope having a debate. Then, my sister suddenly whispered something in my ear, and then she encouraged me, telling me to bravely stand up and say it. I was a little worried at first, but she told me that if I did so, you wouldn't punish me. Instead, you would reward me. "
At this moment, Prince Son and Du Wei were both stunned. Looking at the eight year old Princess Carina, Du Wei couldn't help but whisper: "Princess Carina … … Your Highness, those words were all thought of by you?!"
At this moment, the eight year old girl blushed shyly. After a while, she replied in a soft voice: "I … … I only said some of my thoughts, but big brother made it sound wonderful. If I had to say it myself, I wouldn't be able to say it so well. "
Prince Son's face turned serious. He reached out and gently hugged the little girl: "Carina! Tell me, how did you come up with these things? "
Unlike Prince Charlie, Carina may be a princess, but the education she received was completely different from Prince Charlie's!
Prince Charlie already had his own teachers in the palace. They were all very knowledgeable scholars. His lessons also included some historical content. Charlie was very smart. Therefore, although his performance tonight was wonderful, but in Prince Son's view, it was still reasonable. After all, he had a lot of excellent teachers teaching him every day. Prince Son also thought that his son was a little genius. It was only under the influence of his teachers that he was able to think of so many "mature" truths.
But Carina was different! Although she was a child of the royal family, she didn't receive an orthodox education like the princes! At the age of eight, she spent most of her time learning the traditional education of a noble girl, such as art, flower arrangement, painting, and so on … …
"Tell me, how did you come up with those principles? Or did someone teach you on a daily basis? " Prince Son asked in a very serious manner, then suddenly added: "Could it be the court etiquette lady who is responsible for taking care of your daily life, Miss Lanlan?"
"No, it's not Miss Lanlan." Carina was a little nervous. After a while, she slowly whispered: "I saw it from a book … … Well, there are a lot of books in big brother's study, so I often go there to read them. There are also some … … I … … "
She suddenly looked at Duwei and said, "I saw it in the book Teacher Duwei gave me as a gift. There were some notes in the book, and I thought it was very interesting, so I memorized it. There are also some … … I came up with it myself. "
Prince Son was stunned!!
Genius?
'My daughter is the real genius?!'
Self-taught?!
He originally thought that his son was very good, but now it seems that this little girl is even better than his son?!
Looking at the stunned look on Prince Son's face, Carina was a little scared. She timidly whispered: "Father, I … … Did I do something wrong?"
"Ah … … No! You did very well! " Prince Son suddenly became a little excited. He forcefully picked up the little girl and let her sit on his arm. Then he kissed Carina's cheek and happily said: "Well, my baby. You are right, I won't punish you. Instead, I will reward you! Tell me, what do you think you can get for your excellent performance tonight? "
Looking at his son and daughter with satisfaction, he pondered for a moment: "Ah, Charlie, since you like to ride, I will give you a prairie horse with a superior bloodline. As for Carina … … "
"No, Father!" Karina suddenly broke free from her father's embrace and jumped to the ground. She then pulled Charlie and retreated a few steps. Seeing that Charlie was still in a daze, Karina pinched his hand hard. Only then did the little prince react and immediately said loudly, "Father, we don't want any other rewards! We only have one request, and that is … … Since the Duke of the Tulip Family has promised to be our teacher, but he is always in the Northwest, we can't get his teachings. Now that the Duke has returned to the capital, we would like to ask teacher to spare some time to come to the palace to teach us! "
Prince Son faintly smiled and glanced at Du Wei.
Du Wei didn't have any intention to refuse such a request. Smiling, he agreed: "Of course, Your Highness! Speaking of which, I'm very ashamed. The two young princes call me teacher, but I haven't been able to teach the two princes anything … Anyway, I'll be staying in the imperial capital for a while. During this time, I'll run to the imperial palace more often. "
Looking at the happy faces of the two children, little Charlie's happy face was still reserved, but little Karina's face was flushed with joy, and her bright eyes were staring at Du-Wei, showing that she was very excited.
"But … …" Du Wei suddenly smiled and whispered: "I want to remind the two of you. In the future, don't call me a 'fraud' in public! Otherwise, it won't be a good thing if word gets out. "
With how smart Du Wei is, he knew that in his notes on the history of the continent, there were many disdainful remarks about the church. Most likely, the reason why the children called him a 'fraud' was because they read his notes! Otherwise, which teacher in the palace would dare to teach the two little princes such things?
After the two children happily agreed, Prince Son allowed them to withdraw.
When only Du Wei and Prince Son were left in the study, the smile on Prince Son's face faded away and was replaced with a serious look: "Du Wei, tell me the truth, why did you suddenly decide to participate in this competition? To be honest, I don't agree with it! After all, you are the Duke of the empire! A dignified Duke going up against those wild warriors, what kind of scene would that be?! Besides … … Swords have no eyes. You are now an important minister of the empire. If you were to suffer any injuries … … "
Du Wei smiled and explained the concerns in his heart. Hearing this, Prince Son slightly frowned, but he didn't take it to heart: "A Knight's Association, the reason we are doing this is only for the sake of the throne! Humph, if the church wants to play tricks, then let them be. Why would you take such a risk for a fallen Knight's Association? "
He suddenly looked at Du Wei again: "You … … Don't tell me you really want to revitalize this Knight's Association?"
To tell the truth, when Du Wei proposed the proposal, it was only an idea. He wanted to use this matter as a catalyst to find a way to solve the problem of the throne (this will be explained later).
At the beginning, Du Wei didn't really want to revitalize this Knight's Association that had nothing to do with him.
But after he met Deron, his mind came alive. Or it could be said that he was moved by Deron. So … … If one thing is to be done, two things are also to be done. Then he might as well take advantage of this opportunity to revitalize the Knight's Association. That's not a bad thing.
It's just that he didn't expect the Shrines to misunderstand his intentions.
But this is also good … …
If that's the case, it seems the Shrines don't know about the news of the old emperor's death! Their eyes are only focused on the Knight's Association!
Du Wei just smiled and said: "Your Highness, I just thought about it carefully later. Supporting the Knight's Association may not be a bad thing. Although there may not be too many benefits in the short term, but in the long run, it is still a good investment! And … … The Shrines suddenly intervened. If we retreat at this time, won't the Shrines think we are afraid of them? "
The last sentence moved Prince Son's heart. He nodded and looked at Du Wei: "Then you should be careful. If there is any danger, don't force yourself. Du Wei, I hope you understand that to me, you are more important than the Knight's Association! "
Du Wei was also moved, but this feeling only lasted for a moment. He immediately realized that this was just a way for the monarch to win over people's hearts.
"Well, you can go now … … That Groome's matter must be dealt with properly tonight! Don't leave any trouble behind. "Prince Son waved his hand, indicating that Du Wei can leave.
Du Wei sighed. Just when he reached the door, Prince Son suddenly called out to Du Wei.
"Is there anything else, Your Highness?" Your Highness. "Duwei turned around.
There seems to be something playful in Prince Son's eyes. Looking at Du Wei with a smile that isn't a smile, Prince Son's tone suddenly became strange as he said something that made Du Wei break out in a cold sweat!
"Du Wei ah … … I didn't ask you about it these days because I didn't want to make things difficult for you. But after so many days, I think your anger has subsided … … Hmm, my future Princess and my sister Louise have been living in the Northwest for long enough. I also miss Louise a lot. You … … Hurry up and send them back. "
