Some things are in our bones, and subtle differences can reflect a lot of things.
Kao looked at Caesar steadily, and suddenly laughed: "Boss, when did you learn to tell jokes? It seems that your level is not good enough."
The others just laughed it off. Apparently every sea creature knows about the Sea King Festival, just like everyone needs to eat.
Taking advantage of this gap, old Renault suddenly came up, and everyone else knew that the real show had begun. The Renault family suddenly came up with such an astonishing move, it must not be just to celebrate the queen's birthday. Everyone knew that it was just for show, and there must be some purpose for going so far.
"Your Majesty, Queen, I, your honorable subject, Renault, would like to make a proposal on this auspicious occasion."
"Oh, please go ahead." Aries said indifferently.
"Princess Clara has come of age. Those present today are all elites in our Mermaid Sea. All the young talents are gathered here. I think it's time to arrange a marriage for the princess. This is also crucial to stabilizing our Mermaid Sea."
Before His Majesty Aries could answer, Renault's old rival, Xiao Guangtian, stood up and said, "Governor Renault is too anxious. The princess is still very young. Isn't it too early to talk about marriage leave now?"
"Your Highness Xiao Guangtian, I didn't get married right away. At least engagement is necessary, don't you think so? The noble Princess Christina married my king at that time. It seems just right!"
Renault was well prepared, and he also knew that Lao Xiao would definitely come to stop him, but it was inevitable today. If the marriage was settled before it happened, the subsequent series of actions would be more meaningful, and it would be a natural progression to wait for the throne. To be honest, he also liked Clara very much. It would be good if he could make her his daughter-in-law, which would also be of great benefit to maintaining the stability of the royal power. Moreover, she has the greatest possibility of becoming the lead singer of the Sea King Festival, which is also a good thing for the mermaids, at least it can put some pressure on other royal families.
"Haha, Lord Governor, this matter concerns Princess Clara's happiness and the stability of our mermaid royal family. We should take a long-term view. Aren't you too concerned?"
"Your Highness, this is wrong. As you said, this is related to the stability of our mermaid royal family. It is naturally not a personal issue. As a member of the royal family, isn't it right for me to care about it?"
"How can it be wrong for the governor to be concerned? Does the governor have a candidate?"
The two of them sang the same tune. Although they were in conflict with each other, it was obvious that they were both very concerned about the princess's marriage. Unconsciously, the discussion that was originally about whether they should talk about the princess's marriage today had turned into who would be the right partner for the princess.
The conversation between the two was like a violent storm. Everyone else was watching quietly. No one wanted to get involved at this time. After all, no one else in the Mermaid Sea could reach such a power.
"Your Majesty, Queen, I would like to recommend my son, Colloriosio, who is a childhood sweetheart of the Princess, and I have always been loyal to her."
For politicians, being thick-skinned is also a specialty. If we really have to talk about childhood sweethearts, Cloris Obi-Xaubot is far inferior. There is nothing we can do about it, because Xiaobote's pretty boy is more likable.
"Haha, Lord Governor, it's fine for you to recommend yourself, but your son has had some trouble recently, and it's caused a lot of trouble. If Her Royal Highness the Princess marries your family, I'm afraid it will not be good for the reputation of our Mermaid Sea!"
Xiao Guangtian bluntly hit the other party's sore spot. Although there were rumors outside, he still had to point out the king and queen at this time.
Renault remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, I did fight with a freshman from Reef Academy a few days ago, but that was because I loved Her Royal Highness the Princess. Someone instigated me, saying that a commoner from She'ou was taking advantage of Her Royal Highness the Princess's approachability to do something bad, which led me to fight him at the cost of my reputation, because my love for the Princess surpassed everything else. Now they have become good friends after fighting each other. As for those rumors, I'm afraid they were made up by some villains. Your Majesty and the Queen, please understand."
Even Caesar and his men had to admit that the other party's eloquence was incredible. He could even make such a dark matter so white... According to history books, a long time ago, there was a profession called lawyer who made a living by talking, which was very suitable for the governor.
Just as the banquet began, Colorius showed great enthusiasm and affection for Caesar, as if to confirm the words of the governor.
"Your Majesty, since the governor is so straightforward, then I will not be pretentious. My son Xiao Bote has grown up with the princess since he was a child. This is obvious to all. The two have a very harmonious relationship. I think that while considering the country, we should also consider the princess's own wishes!"
Xiao Guangtian was very confident in his son. The princess would definitely not have the slightest interest in a guy like Colorisio, and all his efforts over the years were reflected at this moment.
...It's a pity that Xiao Guangtian didn't understand one thing: love is unreasonable. What is needed first is intuition and impulse, and Princess Clara is undoubtedly a typical representative of this type.
"The sons of the two beloved ministers are both outstanding people. This king knows it very well, but this matter still depends on Clara's own wishes."
Clara had no interest in the two old foxes' boasting and attacks on each other. As for marriage, it was natural for her to decide on her own, as it was related to her lifelong happiness. However, she was not completely ignorant of the accident, and she also understood her identity and situation. But it was impossible for her to exchange her lifelong happiness. Although the two old guys attacked each other, they did not forget to mention one point, that is, they had to consider the stability of the mermaid sea. To be worthy of the princess, actually meant excluding other people. This was probably the only point on which the two agreed.
"Your Highness, no matter from which aspect, my son Xiao Bote and Your Highness are a perfect match made in heaven!"
"Your Highness, the love that our little boy Collorio has for you is truly known only by heaven. He is willing to give everything for you!"
"Oh, Lord Governor, you can't keep your word. The princess asked him to die, can he die?" Xiao Guangtian smiled slowly. It seemed that the old fox Renault was a little strange today, as if he was very excited. There would never be such a loophole before.
"Your Highness Xiao Guangtian, do you think this kind of provocation is interesting? At the critical moment, I will definitely stand up and fight to protect the princess's honor!"
"Haha, since words are useless, why not decide the winner based on real ability? It will also help to liven up the party!"
Xiao Guangtian was absolutely sure because his son was the representative of the younger generation of the mermaid tribe, while Xiao Bote was a guy who only cared about eating, drinking and having fun. Although he didn't have any major evidence against him, it was hard to believe that he was guilty of a crime. He had lost face on the back of a commoner some time ago, so one could imagine his ability.
"Oh, that's great!"
At this time, not to mention that Xiao Guangtian, with his shrewdness, was a little surprised, even Aries and Christina on the throne were surprised. Everyone knew that Colorio had no chance of winning against Xiao Porter... Did they want to let Colorio try his luck?
Having said that, Xiao Bo jumped out of his position, looking at Collorio proudly, not taking Collorio as a nobody at all. This kind of person was really unworthy of his status, but he was also somewhat thankful that this guy's disruption made him closer to the princess, and it was obvious that the situation turned into a duel between him and Collorio.
"Clara is going to be troubled!"
Yisha Bei'er smiled softly, unable to describe the feeling, as if everything was under the control of this girl. This kind of calmness was rare among the sea people. Although it was a little unattainable, it made people want to pick it.
"Isn't it great? His Highness Xiao Bote is quite suitable for Clara. It's time to find someone to take care of this girl."
Caesar's words made the two girls smile bitterly. "You are the only one who dares to say that to Clara. If she hears it, she will never forgive you. Although His Highness Xiao Bote is good, it's a pity that he is not the one Clara likes."
"Oh, but Xiao Bote is pretty good. Although he is not so pleasing to the eye, he is much better than Colorisio."
Elena and Yisabel shook their heads and said nothing more, which made Caesar feel a little confused, as if it was none of their business.
Elena couldn't say it out loud, after all, she was a love rival. In comparison, Isabel saw it more clearly. Clara's entanglement with Caesar might be far from love, but affection was certain. Some girls were the type of happy enemies who specifically made trouble for the person they liked.
But after looking at Princess Elena, Yisa Belle was speechless...it was really a complicated triangle relationship.
The princes and nobles were also discussing the matter. It was originally a not-so-special banquet, but it turned into an ultimate fight between two major forces. This was very strange.
Colorio also stood in the center without fear, and everyone was very curious about the performance of this "coward".
At this time, the waiters brought delicious wine one after another, and everyone just took it subconsciously. People all like to join in the fun, and there is nothing wrong with watching such a fire.
Looking at the clear wine glass, Caesar licked it gently. He had forgotten about Collorio's strange reaction. Elena and the others did not move and looked at Caesar. Caesar was very experienced in poison... There was no poison in it.
