Chapter 139 The Duke of Prestor
"Hey~Who said no?" Xiu Dao shook his head helplessly and echoed.
"But that kid can't escape your palm, right?"
"Of course, I'll send Mu Du to follow him." Xiu Dao picked up the teacup.
"Send Mu Du! You're still a big deal! Why? Are you still worried about Hua'er?" Karls looked at Xiu Dao with fun and asked. "As far as I know, Hua'er's cultivation is not low!"
"I'm really worried about him. I sent Mu just to prevent it." Xiu Dao replied while blowing the tea leaves.
"I said, you should learn from Uncle Bai. Xiaobai went out to train Uncle Bai but didn't care." Karls said, looking at the old man in white robe behind him.
"Tsk, my awareness is naturally not as high as Old Bai. Otherwise, it would be my turn to be your personal guard." Xiu Dao glared at Karls and said in anger. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the old man in white robe staring at him with his eyes open. Xiu Dao's back suddenly became cold and quickly put down the teacup and waved his hand to show his goodwill. Karls on the opposite side laughed.
"Hmph~" The old man in white robe closed his eyes again.
After laughing, Carls looked at Xiu Dao and asked, "When will Huaer come to the imperial capital?"
"Oh? How did you know that the brat would come to the imperial capital?"
"If I can't hear this from your words, my king has been working for so many years in vain."
"Yes," Xiu Dao nodded in agreement. He thought for a while and said, "That brat should take about a month to get to the imperial capital."
"Okay, you have to notify me of his arrival. I'll make arrangements at that time."
"What are you planning to arrange?" Xiu Dao asked while drinking tea.
Karls did not answer the question of practicing Taoism, but looked at practicing Taoism with a "you understand" look, and saw that he shook his head.
"Hahaha~" Karls smiled and took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and changed the subject, "Oh by the way, where is Lian'er? Did she come to the imperial capital with you this time?"
"Here I'm here, I'm just taking her out to relax." Xiu Dao replied.
"Look, you are not sure that Hua'er will come to the imperial capital, so you brought Lian'er with you."
"Am I like this?"
"Aren't you? But I still envy your family. The relationship between these two siblings is really good, not like the three of our family, hey~" Karls shook his head and sighed.
"It is their luck and misfortune to be in the imperial family." Xiu Dao glanced at Carls with a teacup.
Carls understood what Xiuhua's eyes meant, so he could only laugh twice, and then asked again, "That Lian'er's legs..."
Xiu Dao shook his head, "It's still the same."
"Do I want the imperial doctor to help you see?" Carls put down the teacup and suggested.
"Then it's your Majesty's arrangement." Xiu Dao naturally would not reject Carls' proposal.
"Hey, look at what you said, why are you polite between you and me?" Carls said with a little dissatisfaction at Xiu Dao.
"You and I don't have to be polite, but it's up to the little girl, so I have to be polite."
"Believe me, it will get better." Karls reached out and patted Xiu Dao's shoulder and comforted. "If Lian'er is bored at home, I'll let Omir go and accompany her."
Xiu Dao gave Carls a blank look and reached out to slap his hand. "You have a good plan!"
Seeing that his thoughts were exposed, Carls was not embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Hahaha~ I'm thinking that my brother and sister always want to meet my sister. It's not a bad thing to let them get familiar with each other first."
"Hey~ You think beautifully."
"Hahaha~" Carls laughed.
"This way, don't let your baby daughter come to me. I don't want Lian'er to stay at home all day in the imperial capital. Just arrange a college for her to study." Xiu Dao looked at Karls and suggested, his eyes flashing.
"College? Studying?" Carls nodded with a smile after looking back at the Taoist Taoist temple. "This is a good idea. OK, I will arrange this in person, and it will be early next year."
Seeing that Carls agreed so readily, Xiu Dao shook his head in regret, "Oh~ I originally wanted to talk to you to see if I could terminate Hua'er's engagement with your daughter. Hey~ I didn't expect that after talking for most of the day, Hua'er's affairs were not settled, and she even brought Lian'er in."
"On the contrary, you are still behaved when you get the advantage." Karls cursed with a smile.
After drinking all the tea in the teacup in one sip, Xiudao stood up and said, "Okay, if your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will say goodbye first?"
"You're leaving now? The tea hasn't been finished yet? Don't you sit for a while?" Karls said with a smile on his face.
"If you sit down, I'm afraid I'll even sell myself to you." Xiu Dao said angrily.
"You know that I don't like male sex."
Xiu Tao gave Carls a blank look and said, "Will it be the beginning of next year?"
"Well, early next year."
"I understand." Xiu Dao nodded, turned around and bowed to the old man in white robe, "Old Bai, I will say goodbye, boy, please be careful of your health!" Then he pointed at Carls and continued, "You must protect him, he is my biggest financial support, hahaha~"
The old man in white robe squinted his eyes and looked at the Taoist Taoist temple, "Hmph~"
Carls didn't care, put away his smile and looked at Xiu Dao seriously, "Wait, I will send you the information, you can just start doing it."
"I understand." Xiu Dao said that he had to walk out of the pavilion without looking back.
Carls just watched the monk walk out of the garden until he was no longer in his sight. Carls sat down again, staring at the cup opposite him that had just been eaten, and fell into deep thought. Even Manager Hao didn't notice it when he walked in front of him.
"Your Majesty, Duke Presto has something to ask for," said Director Hao, bending over and bowing.
“…”
"His Majesty?"
"Huh? What's the matter?" Karls then woke up from his contemplation.
"The Duke of Presto has been waiting outside the garden for a long time, and said he would like to ask for a meeting."
"Okay, let him in." Carls waved casually.
"Yes, your majesty." Director Hao responded, and just as he was about to retreat, Carls called him again, "Ren, help me remove this tea and cup together."
"Yes, your Majesty." Director Hao responded again and left with the teapot and cup. This time Carls did not call him again.
Not long after Director Hao left, he led Duke Presto into the garden. Duke Presto was in his early forties and maintained very well. He had pure black middle-parted hair, enviable delicate facial features and tall and burly figure. He wore a black duke's gown and looked straight and elegant. Duke Presto looked very fast, but gave people a very determined feeling.
Manager Hao walked directly into the pavilion and stood in front of Carls. Duke Presto walked outside the pavilion and stopped, gave a standard aristocratic ceremony to Carls, and bowed to Old Bai.
Old Bai still closed his eyes, thinking that he didn't see it.
"My Duke, just say anything important to you." Karls sat facing Duke Presto and asked.
"These are some matters drawn up by me regarding the Harvest Festival in the middle of next month. Please give your Majesty a look." Duke Presto took out a memorial and handed it on it.
Without waiting for Karls' instructions, General Manager Hao stepped forward to take it, turned around and handed it to Karls.
Carls held the memorial and did not open it directly, but instead played with it in his hands, muttering to himself, "Next month's Harvest Festival? Well, time should be too late."
"What are you talking about with your Majesty?" Duke Presto did not hear Carls clearly because he had left some distance.
"Oh, it's okay. I'll bother you, Duke, to go for these little things yourself. In the future, just give me these little things in the morning."
"It is my honor to be able to do things for Your Majesty." Duke Presto said and performed another noble ceremony.
Karls watched Duke Presto re-opened the memorial that was about to start, put it on the table and said, "I won't read this memorial anymore. I'm relieved to do the Duke's business, so I can do it according to the Duke's wishes."
"Yes, your Majesty."
"By the way, will we hold the Continental Academy competition next year?"
The Duke of Presto thought for a while and said, "It's indeed our turn."
"Hey~ Four years is really fast." Carls sighed with his head raised.
"Yes." Duke Presto sighed too.
"This time, let the Royal Higher College of the Imperial Capital also participate in the preliminary round." Carls ordered.
"The Imperial Capital Royal Higher Education College is also going to participate?" Duke Presto asked in surprise.
"Well, flowers growing in greenhouses will never really grow up. It's time for those kids to experience it. Just do it like that, you communicate with Kane."
"Okay, Your Majesty." Since Your Majesty said so, the Duke of Presto naturally would not object.
"By the way, I heard one more thing, that boy Manas is pursuing Gillips's pearl?"
"Hahaha~ This incident has reached His Majesty's ears, I'm ashamed!"
Karls smiled and waved his hand, "Hahaha~ It's not what Gillips came to me," Karls paused, looked at Duke Presto, "Don't interfere with the children's affairs, let them let it go." If Xiu Dao heard this, he would be able to vomit blood.
"I understand, your majesty." Duke Presto nodded, but his eyes were a little unnatural.
"Okay, don't be so reserved, come on, come on, sit in the pavilion." Karls said, standing up and personally brought Duke Presto into the pavilion.
