<span style="font-weight:400">Harold frowned, "Are you really going to let the decision between two kingdoms go to a child?" This matter had never been about Carolyn in Harold''s eyes; this was a matter between the Philosopher and Solis Kingdom. That was why he came here.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes. Carolyn would be the one to decide it."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Fine. But how about this? Let''s have the twoe to each kingdom to see." sses were about to end in a week or two. It was the perfect opportunity for them to do so.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That would be fine,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good," Harold didn''t say anything else as he left. Using a teleportation gate to return home was simple enough. Once he had left, that was when Julius had taken a deep sigh. Then, he turned to the door,
<span style="font-weight:400">"The three of you cane out. I know you guys were listening in on our conversation."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hehe, we can''t hide anything from you, Father." Three people entered the room. One person was James.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That stinking brat! How could he go out with my daughter?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Crack! As Julius gripped on top the teacup, it exploded in his hand. Even now, he didn''t ept it. Yet, he had to at the same time. To think his precious daughter was going out with a boy!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Father, you can''t say something like that." James sighed. This dotting father, what are we going to do with him?
<span style="font-weight:400">"But Father, when you look at it from a different angle, this is beneficial for our kingdom." One voice stated. He looked quite bigger than the other two; he had the same eyes as Julius but with brown hair.
<span style="font-weight:400">"True," The person who said this was none other than Felix Sol Gerard, the first prince of the kingdom.
<span style="font-weight:400">"They have the strongest military might. Not only that, they have a rich history as well." This was correct. The Solis Kingdom was ranked second in terms of military might, while the Philospher Kingdom was ranked first.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It is beneficial. But do I look like the type of person who cared about this?" Julius red. Besides, my kingdom didn''t need it. Even though it was 1 and 2, it was only by a small margin. The Philosopher kingdom had that monster under them. That was the only reason why they were ranked first.
<span style="font-weight:400">And I refuse to use my daughter for personal gain. However, this was not up to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Speaking of that, Father, you must send someone to the city to greet them." Since Julius had agreed to have them go to each kingdom, it would be best to send an envoy there.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed, I have to." This was something he had to work with.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I will do it. It''s been a while since I''ve gone to the academy." Felix stated calmly.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Julius didn''t say anything. But that only caused James to scoff, "Then I should go as well because I miss the academy." Who was he kidding?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Nonsense. If we all leave, it feels like we''re trying to show our might. Having the first prince is enough for it." Felix frowned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"And you think one prince would be enough to show how much we value this engagement." James didn''t like it. However, he also had to think about the situation at hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">"They are not getting engaged." Julius retorted.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Father, I think we should send two people there." The final person suggested. That was none other than the 2nd prince, Oscar Sol Gerard.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why so?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Even if the engagement doesn''t ur, we should still show that we value the rtionship. If we don''t send enough people, it would seem we don''t care about this."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s why I propose that Felix and I go there."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why you?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I think it would be best that I go since I can leverage if I have to."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Alright, you will go with him."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Father!" Felix wanted to interject. However, Julius frowned, "I have spoken. The two of you shall go to the city."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." The three bowed as they left. However, Felix''s expression changed drastically once they left: "What are you trying to do, Little Brother?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? I''m just trying to meet my sister?" Oscar smiled mischievously.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t try to y coy with me. Father isn''t in front of us anymore." There was no need to y nice. Felix, Oscar, and James never had a brotherly rtionship like Eric and the others.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Weren''t you ying coy in front of father?" Oscarughed, "And don''t think you''re the crown prince, Felix."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Felix said nothing else as he walked away. James and Oscar were left there. Oscar continued smiling, "I will go prepare for the visit. James, you will be the one to watch over the kingdom with Father while we''re away."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." No response. However, Oscar walked away as he knew his brother understood.
<span style="font-weight:400">While that urred, Harold was in his carriage with a smile. Julius, you are much too soft to be king. Hearing what his junior had said before, he realized he was soft.
<span style="font-weight:400">Yet, it was something he could take advantage of.
<span style="font-weight:400">I''ve finally obtained her.
