Quest: Book 2 Read online

17

  After the Lola sisters go to see the queen Nashall a day later, my marriage thing which is in many people's concern is in intense preparation.

  Because I am the Dark Moon city viceroy's son, so of course the wedding will be held in my parents' there. But it seems that all the people in the Saint Capital can get the news very quick, in just two days, the known or unknown ministers and the viceroys send their presents continuously in, they have a whole room occupied, that makes Jack joyous that he can't close up his mouth.

  The most surprising thing is the Prime Minister, he sends the expensive gift like that he is nothing at all, it worries me that I don’t know what I supposed to do.

  "What the big deal is this? You just need to go to their places to say thanks," my father says, "you need to go to every single one's house."

  "Every one?" I ask, "Papa, do you know how many people send the gifts?"

  "I don't know that," my father insists and says, "but you must go say thank you to everyone, none left out."

  "What about the Prime Minister there?"

  "It's the same to the Prime Minister there too," my father says, "Paralyzing the rival is the technique that he prefers to use, you just also pretend that there was nothing happened to say thank you to him, you still can do whatever you want to do after you finish doing it."

  "But..."

  "No need to say anything more." my fathers waves his hand, "my boy, you are a politician now, you need to learn how to have good relationship with as many people as possible, this will help your business in the future."

  I sit in the carriage traveling through the streets in the Saint Capital with Lola sisters, according to the address on the gifts list, we visit them one by one. Just in a few days, I have been tortured to crazy by the noble etiquettes. But rather, both of them can deal with that lightly and decently.

  "I'm the guard of viceroy Kone Cada." Jack who is in the light warrior dress speaks to the guard of the Prime Minister's mansion, "viceroy Kone Cada comes to visit Your Prime Minister with his two fiancees."

  "Please wait a moment..." the guard turns around and goes in to report.

  Taking the time of this period, I pull up the car window curtain with my hands, I slightly take a look at the Prime Minister's mansion which is not that strange to me. Instantly, the hybrid flavors of the complex feeling come up in my heart.

  "What are you thinking?" Kelly whispers, "four former fiancee?"

  "Don't be silly," Feline smiles and says, "be careful the sir viceroy will lose his temper. Now the nickname for our this sir viceroy is rascal viceroy!"

  "Ha, are you afraid of him, sister? I will not be afraid of him."

  I force a smile in my heart, I turn to look at them. Although they dress up in very common noble teen dresses, but that can't conceal the sisters a bit of charms, one fresh and peace, one gorgeous and dazzling.

  "Let's get off the carriage," I say, "this will be the last one."

  Under the lead of the Prime Minister's steward, we come to the hall. The Prime Minister is waiting over there, there are one male and one female sitting next to him. One has the cold on her face, she turns the blind eye to us. One stares right at me, the sight from his eyes can almost pierce through my body.

  They are Lisa and Ricard! I burst instantly into anger in my heart, an idea that to kill somebody with a knife can't be suppressed down.

  "Your Prime Minister." Feline holds my hand tightly, she puts another hand by her body side gently, she smiles to give the Prime Minister with a curtsy of younger woman.

  "Ha ha, you can really match each other pretty well!" the Prime Minister laughs to say, "bless you."

  "Thank you, Your Prime Minister," I somewhat sober a bit, "we come here to say thank you."

  "You're welcome, viceroy Kone." the Prime Minister asks us to sit down, "then what time of your wedding will be holding?"

  "This is the day that the queen sets," seeing my emotion is instable, Feline smiles and says, "next month the fifteenth in the Dark Moon city. please Your Prime Minister sure to come."

  "It's too bad, on that day," the prime Minister looks at me, "my daughter will have an engagement ceremony with Ricard, I can't really walk away from it."

  "That's really sorry." Feline pinches my hand once again, "we congratulate Miss Lisa and Mr. Ricard."

  "Yes, congratulations, Miss Lisa." I stand up and walk to the front of Lisa, "please forgive me that I did not know in advance. I'll ask somebody to bring the present here later."

  "Hmm!" after some daughter responses me with the sound from the nose, I walk to Ricard again.

  "Congratulations to you once again, Mr. Ricard," I say, "you have a virtuous fiancee."

  "Thank... You!" Ricard's facial expression becomes more ugly, he holds his both hands tightly on his knees, the blood vessels on the back of his hands are clearly shown out. Because in the Saint Capital, this young Miss is greatly famous for her debauchery, even a fool can tell the real meaning of my this sentence. At this moment, I can't help but feel a bit sorry for Ricard, after all, he was a proud people once.

  "So, we have to leave now." I turn to the Prime Minister and say, "you please stay."

  Holding two small and warm hands, I walk out of the Prime Minister's mansion, and get on the carriage.

  "Shoo..." I breathe the evil spirit out of my chest heavily, as the carriage begins to move, my emotion gets better.

  "So, better mood now?" Kelly smiles happily to look at me, "you had the look that want to eat somebody just now."

  "I had?"

  "Ha! If it wasn't for my sister taking hold of you," Kelly says, "I think that there will be a murder show on in the Prime Minister's mansion today."

  "Maybe," Feline is as if deep in thought, "it can be said that the Prime Minister wants you to make some troubles there."

  "Exactly," I say with a wry smile, "I just got noticed when I calm down, there are a lot of breathings around the hall during the time, when we were coming, I even heard the slightly bang of the armors."

  "Oh my!" Kelly covers her mouth with her hand, "they..."

  "They just want to use Lisa and Ricard as the bait, get me angry, and then deal against us." now I have the fear when I think of it, "he will stand in the right side if we take charge first. I think today the Prime Minister must invite a lot of officials and nobles in the hall, they will wait for it to come out delivering the justice."

  "Then weren't we very dangerous just now?" Kelly asks.

  "Yes, but we have the calm and beautiful miss Feline," I say with a laugh, "so we don't have an accident."

  "In fact, all these what might have happened, uncle Vassel thought of all the dimensions," hear my words, Feline's face gets slightly flushed, "he also give us the ways to deal with."

  "My father?!" I wonder, "why didn't you tell me?"

  Back to the place we live, I tell my father what just happened.

  "Or the queen has the great vision!" my father says, "are the wives she chooses for you very good?"

  "Papa, what are you talking about?" I just feel awful, "what relation that have with this?"

  "You think that it's an easy thing to choose a wife for you?" my father says, "that requires careful thought. Choose a good wife, just like today, you will have a lot of helps for your career and family. Choose a bad one, it's hard to say maybe you will die because of your wife."

  "But Feline and Kelly have these kind of effects?" I can't help but ask, "today it's not you who would taught them how to do it?"

  "Ha Ha, what my those little tricks counted for? The queen met them several times, I'm afraid that your auntie queen has taught them everything she knows." my father whispers, "and you mom, your auntie Belltina, which one doesn't have a lot of magic weapons? Son, you have to be careful of your two wives."

  "Papa!" I say with a loud voice, "there must have your share in it too!"

  "You go to prepare the gift for the Prime Minister's miss first!" my father doesn't care, "we have to go back to the Dark Moon cit
y in a hurry, or it is too late to get everything ready."

  "Oh!"

  "I'll bring Feline and Kelly back directly," my father continues to account, "you and Jack can go to your Darkness city first to check around, it'll be alright to come back before the wedding."

  "Oh, yes!" I say, "Papa, I'll forget if you don't say."

  "Really admire you, you can forget a thing like this!" my father has a smile on his face, "Your Majesty has somebody to escort your five hundred thousand gold coins to the Dark Moon first. I think it's better just to leave the money in the Dark Moon, you just need to send someone to get how much you need every time, it's a bit safer this way."

  "Alright, no problem." I ask my father, "then when do we leave?"

  "We are leaving tomorrow." my father looks out of the window, "we have delayed a lot of time..."

  .............

  A few days later.

  "Boss!" it comes Jack's excited sound, "we'll be there soon."

  "Yes..." I look at the red sun over our heads, "I don't know how those guys are."

  "We can see the sites of our city on that hill peak in front," Jack races urged the horse, "I'll go there to take a look first."

  "He is really a quick-tempered guy!" looking at Jack's move, uncle Meza roars with a laughter.

  "Boss! You come here and see!" Jack' s voice is earthshaking.

  I and uncle Meza take a look at each other, we arrive to the top of the hill together. I look at the direction where Jack's finger points at, but I am shocked by the scene in front of my eyes!
