v5 Chapter 34: It's going to change (four thousand)

"About the South Crown Prince?"

Veronica's expression became a little more serious, and she put her feet on the desk down and tidied out the robe of her coat.

"Yeah." Anrietta nodded. "The prince's condition is not good, and his injury has worsened."

The emperor of the Donner Empire, Stanton Donner, had two sons and no daughters.

The eldest son is now in his early 20s, at the age of majestic hair. The second son is the accidental crystallization of Stanton's old son. He is only 8 years old now.

Among them, the eldest son, Liman Donner, is the crown prince of the empire today and the legal heir to the throne of the future empire.

But more than a month ago, the current prince had an accident.

His own strength is not low, and he even went with the army to conquer two rebellion wars. Prince Liman, unfortunately, fell off his horse during a hunting event and was seriously injured by the horse.

The injury was not optimistic, and the doctors and alchemists in the court were helpless.

Anrietta herself and the Leman cousin did not have too deep friendship. After all, the two royal families are in the south and the other is in the north. They will only meet when there are major events in the family.

However, when talking about her cousin's injury, Anrietta was still a little bit sad.

"It seems that there has been a lot of trouble recently. Is it true that the emperor wants to establish another prince? If Prince Liman...I mean if...then the position of the prince will fall on the 8-year-old prince?"

Veronica sat a little more straightened.

"This is what I want to tell you. I just got news that the little prince of the South has disappeared." Anrietta took a light breath and said every word.



"Wait, wait a while, I'm still a little bit unbelievable. Why did the little prince who was raised in the palace disappear? And is it still a bone and eye injury at this festival?"

Veronica gently pressed the knuckle of her right index finger between her teeth, her eyes drifted a little, and it would be difficult for her to digest this new information for a while.

"No one knows how the little prince disappeared. In short, he just disappeared in the deep palace." Anrietta said.

There was silence in the room for a while.

After a long time, Veronica, who was sitting behind the desk, raised her head and looked at the little queen.

Her beautiful red hair was scattered, and a few fiery strands stood in front of her face. Under this little red, there are the same red eyes.

Veronica looked at the little queen with a questioning look in her eyes, and the emotions contained in it were very complicated.

Perhaps it was the tacit understanding developed by growing up together, Anrietta easily understood the eyes of her good girlfriend: "It's not my father, I believe these things have nothing to do with him."

The two princes who had the right to inherit the empire in the south had accidents one after another.

In theory, if the elderly emperor Stanton dies, the ruler of the empire will become his younger brother.

That is, Anrietta's father.

After getting a verbal reply from Xiao Wangnv, Veronica's originally tight expression and body muscles were slightly relaxed.

She seemed to trust her good friend in a high position.

"But Uncle Stanton has already begun to doubt his father. Oh, how can you not doubt it? These recent events are too sudden and too strange."

Anrietta sighed.

"Besides, these are major events, and the empire may be changing." Veronica echoed, "Annrier, is there any new information?"

"Yes, in the morning, my father and the Grand Duke of Phoenix discussed it for a long time. They all felt that what happened in the south was an organized assassination. Well... they think it was done by the forces of the surrounding countries."

The accident of the two crown princes one after another will definitely cause chaos within the Dona Empire.

The emperor Stanton in the south has become suspicious of his own brother in the north, and is vaguely fighting against the wall.

In addition, the rebellions and uprisings that have been suppressed in Northland over the years have shown signs of raising their heads after the incident of the Prince's fall from the horse.

Once riots and wars break out within the Dona Empire, it is easy to be backstabbed by other powers on the side.

"Is the Tazan Empire? We and them are feuds. As far as I know, the military strength of these Tazans has developed well. In addition, the armistice agreement between our two countries is about to expire in the past two years."

Veronica's expression became serious again.

"I don't know, the situation is still very unclear." Xiao Wangnv's face was not good, she walked to the window near the fireplace, shook her head and looked out the window.

Outside.

The endless snowstorms in Beidi Na continued, only rendering this northern part of the land into a monotonous white.

But if you don’t look so far, just look at the situation in the Prince’s palace—

It can be seen that the people under the palace are busy in the courtyard, and there are a few strong male servants pushing a few carts of potatoes and walking towards the kitchen.

They left footprints and car marks on the snow, and thick white smoke was rising in the direction of the kitchen in the distance.

For the people, today is just a peaceful day in the Prince's Palace.

It's just that this calmness doesn't know how long it will last.

"Veronica is right, something like that happened in the South... Maybe the empire is going to change."

Xiao Wangnv thought like this in her heart, and cast her gaze to the distance where the wind and snow were raging.

There, the world is vast.



Central part of the empire, along the coast, Eaton Town.

On the main street, the hot pot restaurant and the Cantonese restaurant are in full swing, and the doors of the two restaurants are crowded with people.

The diners talked excitedly, and the waiters said "Welcome", which made this place very lively.

At the corner of the street, a bar with a large number of potted landscape plants is planted at the door.

At this point in time, the entrance of the bar is still a bit deserted.

Not because Ling and her cocktails were unpopular.

On the contrary, when this bar first opened, Eaton and the drinking diners in the surrounding towns were discussing this newly opened "pub" and the cute and outgoing character in the "pub" almost every day. Young lady boss.

Wait until these people actually enter the bar for a drink.

To the topics they talked about, a variety of cocktails with a wide variety of styles and flavors were added.

The popularity of Ling and her cocktails is evident.

As for the reason why the entrance of the bar is deserted, it is simply because the bell has not officially opened yet.

Ling's bar always opens when the lights are in the town.

This rule was left before Donne went on a long journey last time.

"If it is open during the day, what is the difference between us and those ordinary pubs? We have to take out our own characteristics and make the bar a pure land for the animals to relax after a hard day's work. So, only at night Business is ready."

This is what the boss said at the time.

The meaning of the bell is probably only understood seven or eighty-eight, while the incomprehensible vocabulary such as "community animal" is selectively ignored.

She doesn't care.

Open at night, open at night, and just have fun during the day.

When the horseshoe lanterns were all lit on Eaton and the light feather nets were hung in some wealthy shops along the street, the bell opened the door of the bar.

It had just started business, and soon regular customers came in with a pinch.

Today’s first guest is a local Eaton resident, Mr. Framing who runs the clinic.

"Ling, the same way."

Mr. Doctor, who is a bit old-fashioned, came to the bar and sat down by the window.

He chose this location, just to see the bustling crowds on the street, in sharp contrast with the relatively quiet environment in the bar.

"Okay, a cup of [Godfather], wait a minute." Ling greeted familiarly, and began to mix drinks.

[The Godfather] It is a male-oriented cocktail with a higher degree in Bell's bar menu.

Regular customers who think they drink well will order it.

A strong distilled wine made from barley, add some flavored almond wine, mix it, mix it with ice cubes, and finally put a small cherry in the cup as a garnish.

Soon, a cup of [Godfather] was adjusted smoothly.

Because I was affected by [cooking power] in the early learning process, coupled with serious practice later.

At present, the bells are familiar with the various cocktails on the menu. The proportions of the various drinks are very good, and the action has a certain degree of appreciation.

To be placed on the earth, a senior bartender certificate will surely pass.

After the cocktail was adjusted, the bell raised his hand and motioned to the waiter beside him.

There are two waiters here, a man and a woman, both of whom are just adults.

Speaking of it, when the bar first opened, there was no waiter. The bells were all alone from the bartending to the delivery to the ordering of cups.

On the first night of business, the female thief who was washing her hands in the golden basin was exhausted.

So the next day, dragging her tired body, she urgently found the lobby manager next door and Hana, the personnel supervisor, to discuss:

"Although I ran this bar to make amends to my brother, I shouldn't have any complaints. But there are too many and enthusiastic customers. If you work like this every night, even a donkey will be exhausted! OK! Okay, show mercy!"

Under Ling's earnest argument, Hannah sent two more stable newcomers to the bar.

The cup of [Godfather] on the bar was picked up by the waitress and delivered to Dr. Framing's table.

"Please take your time, sir."

After putting the drinks, the waitress leaned slightly, said a softly like this, and then backed away.

Because Dorn developed a different bar service concept.

The waiters here are told that they do not need to be as enthusiastic as the other two stores, but to maintain full courtesy and respect for the guests.

Simply put, it is to let the guests fully feel the tranquility.

Doctor Framing by the window picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

The aroma of the strong distilled liquor is mixed with a touch of almond and bitterness. The taste is very unique and the smell is very strong.

"Very good, it seems to taste better than the one I drank the last two times. It seems that Ling's craftsmanship is still improving. It's really amazing. It's worthy of being the one brought back by Brother Donne."

The character is a little dull, and Dr. Framing, who has been working all day, has a tired expression on his face that has become a little more vivid.

By the way, the most recent work of Mr. Doctor has been to receive customers who are new to the town who are struggling to eat...

After taking a few more sips of [The Godfather], the high concentration of alcohol began to make Framing's eyes a little blurred.

His gaze continued to focus on the crowd flowing outside the window.

"Yue—it’s so good, it’s so lively. Since the arrival of Brother Donne, the town has improved little by little, unknowingly it has developed into what it is now. Every day there is delicious food and good cocktails. Oh, there are some wonderful performances to watch recently, and there are a lot of fresh products to buy, which is great..."

When the doctor was satisfied, he got up and left the bar.

As he pushed the door out, he was passing by a new man who walked in.

This new man is a new face, and Dr. Framing doesn't recognize him.

But it doesn't matter. Every day, many new guests come here to taste the wine.

With a hint of drunkenness and a comfortable cool breeze in the late spring night, Dr. Framing walked toward the front of the main street. He planned to go to the night market again and buy two beautiful decorations for the clinic by the way.

That’s great, the gradually enriching nightlife in Eatontown...

And inside the bar.

"Good evening, sir, what can I do?" Ling greeted the new drinker.

The new guest is a middle-aged man with a bit of vicissitudes in his face.

But he is in a good state of mind. The clothes on his body don't look expensive, but they are relatively new and neat.

The middle-aged man looked at the bell behind the bar, his expression was a bit stunned, and then he was stunned.

"What's the matter? Sir?"

As for Ling, who was born as a thief, she is still very sensitive to other people's gaze.

"No, nothing, miss. That is, I have seen you elsewhere, in Tiansang Town." The middle-aged man explained.

"Have you seen me? Have I done anything that impresses you? Sorry, but I don't remember you." Ling was a little alert.

"When I first met you Miss you, UU Reading , you were being chased by Jack the Iron Hand, so if you want to be impressed, you are indeed..."

In order to dispel the recent vigilance and misunderstanding of the bar proprietress, the middle-aged man chooses to tell the truth.

"Uh... alright."

Ling thought for a while. What the middle-aged man said was logically okay. If he really saw his embarrassed appearance when he was chased by the trafficker iron hand Jack, it would be normal for him to be deeply impressed.

Perhaps this person is the first passer-by who stood on the street and watched the show when he and my brother first met.

After letting go of her vigilance against the middle-aged man, Ling continued to be responsible for the business: "Then, what do you want, sir? For our fate, you can get a 10% discount on the drinks tonight?"

"Well, miss, I'm not here to drink." The man looked straight, and then he took out a musical instrument from his bag at night, "I heard that you are recruiting...er...recruiting..."

"Oh, resident singer."
