Chapter 317：

The carriage was stopped at the gate of the palace.

The coachman said dissatisfiedly, "This is Lord Aldrich's carriage."

A blunt voice sounded: "Sorry, it's my duty."

Aldrich, who was sitting in the carriage, shrugged his shoulders, and said to the two students, "The strange voice seems to be a new one."

He opened the carriage door and led Mond and Kevin down.

An officer dressed as an aristocrat stood in front of the car door, and seeing that the person in the car was indeed the famous bachelor, his expression suddenly became tense.

He bowed cautiously: "My lord, I'm sorry."

Aldridge smiled and waved his hands, "Haha, it's all right, according to the rules, the cars entering and leaving the palace gate have to be checked carefully."

Seeing that the old bachelor was so easy to talk and didn't put on airs, the officer was relieved. He leaned into the carriage and looked at it carefully.

"Please get in the car, my lord, sorry for wasting your time."

The officer quickly instructed his men to let them go.

Aldridge smiled and led a group of students back into the compartment.

After the door was closed, the sound of horseshoes sounded again, and it slowly drove into the palace.

Mond frowned, and whispered to the instructor, "Look at the logo on the clothes, it's from the Dias family."

Aldrich, who was resting with his eyes closed, smiled faintly, but did not respond.

Kevin looked at the seniors and then at the teacher. He felt a little strange, but he didn't ask too much. He should know it himself, and they would let him know.

After entering the gate of the palace, he drove for a while before stopping. Kevin felt that at the speed of the carriage, the distance traveled was enough to spare his village several times.

After the three got out of the car, a palace official guided them down to a side hall. Unlike what Kevin had imagined, the furnishings inside were not magnificent, but rather rustic.

There is an oval table in the hall, and eleven chairs are placed around the table. It seems that the emperor used it for meetings with ministers.

Aldridge went straight to the chair on the left of the upper head and sat down. Kevin consciously followed Mond and stood behind him.

About 5 minutes later, a voice came from outside the side hall: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

Aldridge immediately stood up and turned to face the door. Kevin also adjusted his expression immediately, trying to show a solemn look.

"Don't panic ~ don't panic ~" He tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart.

A bearded man broke into his line of sight. He should be in his 40s, with sharp edges and sharp lines on his face.

"This should be the ruler of the Gabela Empire—His Majesty Emperor Bartley Griffin."

While thinking about this, Kevin imitated his mentor and seniors and saluted him.

"Good day, Your Majesty." Aldrich greeted the emperor respectfully.

"Good day, my teacher." Bartley Griffin responded with a smile.

What, the emperor of the mighty Gabela Empire was also a student of Mr. Aldrich, and Kevin was shocked.

After Bartley took the first seat, Aldridge sat down.

"The teacher must have guessed what I invited you to the palace for?"

Aldridge stroked his beard, "It must be because of His Highness Antonio's return to the capital, right?"

"Yes! Hahahaha!" Bartley laughed loudly, his joy was beyond words, "Antonio is a kid who is really proud of me, this time he won a big victory, a big victory! Hahahaha!"

Kevin knew what the emperor was talking about. Senior Mond told him about the situation of the Gabela Empire when he had time. He knew that Gabela was at war with another country in the east—the Nesta Empire.

The border between Gabela and Nesta is long, and it does not have a natural dividing line like the Sunset Mountains like Aldo. The two countries have always had many frictions, and many wars have broken out in history.

This time the war broke out a year ago, very unlucky, the border defense line of the Gabela Empire was broken through by the Nestas, and the opponent's army drove straight in, burned, killed and looted.

Emperor Battery was furious and ordered the veteran general Duke MacDonald to lead the army, and sent the second prince Antonio Griffin to assist the Duke.

Speaking of His Royal Highness Antonio, Kevin has been curious for a long time, and whenever Senior Mond mentions this prince, a feeling of admiration will emerge.

According to what the senior said, this prince has been very smart and hardworking since he was a child. He grew up under the praise of his teachers. Return to the ordinary.

His Royal Highness Antonio has just turned 18 this year. Although he has not yet grown up, he is already very proficient in both government affairs and military affairs. Many people compare him with His Royal Highness Catherine, the eldest princess of the Aldo Kingdom. Both of them are far superior in talent and knowledge. peers, and shared the pressure early on as the father of a country's ruler.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor is so happyIt must be that Antonio has made great contributions in this war.

Sure enough, Battery said proudly: "It was Antonio's plan—ruthless, fast, accurate, and unexpected, which made Nesta's group of rats in the gutter suffer a lot, hahahaha!"

This was the third time the emperor laughed out loud after entering the side hall, which greatly diluted the sense of majesty he had just appeared.

Aldrich smiled helplessly. His student was as heroic as ever. Even after sitting in the position of the king of a country for so many years, even in front of a stranger like Kevin, he still would not change. .

However, this is also his attractive side.

"Ahem!" The old scholar had to cough to remind the emperor to maintain the necessary calmness.

"Uh...oh! Teacher, this is your new student!"

Emperor Battery reacted, feeling a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic with Kevin standing behind Aldrich.

Aldridge replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, Mond brought him back from Aldo not long ago."

"Is it Aldo?" Bartley patted Kevin on the shoulder. Kevin felt that he was very strong, and His Majesty the Emperor must have extraordinary physical strength.

"Learn from Mr. Aldridge, this is the greatest luck in your life. Oh, by the way, you will be my primary school student in the future, so don't embarrass me!"

Kevin hurriedly bowed and saluted, and stammered, "Of course, Your Majesty."

Mond on the side explained: "Your Majesty, he has just learned Gabela not long ago, and he is not very proficient yet."

"Haha, take your time, take your time." Battery didn't mind at all.

The emperor turned to Aldrich again, "Teacher, let's get down to business. I'm going to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate this great victory."
