Chapter 35: Your Majesty, We Are Definitely Not Laughing!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Then, the two top officials in the palace, who were surrounded by a group of guards, burst into laughter without any regard for their manners.
Perhaps they had sensed that the danger signal in Kyle’s eyes was getting stronger and stronger, and it was as if he was going to beat them up with a hammer.
Rosen then explained while laughing, “Hahaha… Your Majesty, I am not laughing… Haha, I am sad, so so sad! I’ve been like this since I was young. When I’m sad, I look like this. Please don’t think that I’m laughing.”

Andrew was laughing so hard that he squatted on the ground, but when he heard Rosen’s words, he quickly stood up.
“Your Majesty, as for me I’m just angry. It truly means the same thing as Rosen’s sadness.”
Kyle was now filled with an immense amount of anger. When the king compared Lorne’s interesting suggestion and his two ministers laughing, he could not tell which matter felt worse to him.
The key was that these two guys actually laughed so wildly that they could not contain themselves.
“Alright, shut up. Whoever laughs at me again, I shall make them stand in front of the palace and laugh for a day!”
Only then did Andrew and Rosen cover their mouths with their sleeves. After a while, they finally calmed down. Then, Rosen took a deep breath and spoke up.
“King, it’s all that kid’s fault for spouting nonsense. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lost my manners like this.”
Kyle glanced at the two of them.
“Hmph!”
He flicked his wrists and ordered the guards to continue to lead the way. Only then did Andrew and the others hurriedly follow behind.
After walking for a while, Rosen had completely restrained his laughter from before. Instead, he said to Kyle in a serious tone, “Your Majesty, actually, in my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with taking Lorne as a son-in-law.”
Kyle turned to look at Rosen. Seeing that he was being serious, he calmed down and began to think. To be honest, this matter was actually feasible.
At that time, Kyle fled in a panic because Lorne was being too arrogant. When he opened his mouth, he immediately asked for eight or ten people. That was ridiculous!
However, when he calmed down and thought about it, marrying a princess to Lorne was actually a good idea.
With a young talent like Lorne, being a great sage of the country, as long as he entered the palace, Kyle would definitely put him in an important position.
In terms of status alone, marrying a princess of the royal family was not inferior at all.
As for appearance and ability, these were things that were obvious to everyone. There was no need to think much about it.
If Kyle could even think of entrusting his first prince to Lorne to teach him, it was not a big deal for him to marry a princess. Therefore, after much thought, it was reasonable for him to marry his daughter to Lorne. It was a more appropriate choice as compared to other suitors.
However, when it came to the consideration of the princesses, Kyle could not help but feel troubled. Most of his princesses were young, and even the eldest princess could not be considered to be in the age of marriage, let alone the later ones.

After thinking about it, he decided that there was no suitable candidate for Lorne. Therefore, Kyle could only scratch his forehead. Then, he waved his hand and said, “Let’s put this matter aside for now. We will discuss this matter when the time is right.”

Rosen nodded, and then another question arose.
“May I ask, Your Majesty, do you really intend to let Lorne take up the position of the first Prince’s Master after he enters the palace?”
Kyle pondered for a long time, and then slowly said, “It’s just a shallow idea. I haven’t thought about whether to do it just yet.”
Andrew nodded and agreed, “Your Majesty made the right choice. I feel that this matter needs to be considered more carefully before we can make a decision. After all, the First Prince is the crown prince of the empire. It’s related to the inheritance of the Lolan Empire. A qualified teacher is very likely to have a significant impact on the First Prince’s future governance.
“Therefore, I feel that we need to carefully consider before we can make this conclusion. At the very least, the civil and military officials in the palace must also acknowledge this suggestion. Otherwise, just Rosen and I alone will not be able to influence the intentions of the entire palace.”
Kyle nodded slightly.
“I understand what you mean. This matter really needs to be carefully considered before it can be carried out. Of course, we were just casually talking about it. If Lorne knew about our identities, whether he is willing to be a teacher or not would be another question. Were he to be unwilling, then I shall not force him either and respect his choices.”
As soon as Kyle finished speaking, Andrew’s eyes could not help but flicker.
What the king just said made sense. The First Prince’s teachers were all very old. Were someone like Lorne, a young lad, to teach the First Prince, many would not agree to this.
“It’s still better for my department to be able to come into contact with matters of all sizes in the palace, be familiar with specific matters, and give advice for the Lolan Empire’s prosperity.”
And correspondingly, it was Rosen, who had other thoughts.
In his opinion, a place like the Ministry of Education was the best place to train people. Young talents should all come to the Ministry of Literature, and under his guidance, they could plan the world’s officials and familiarize themselves with many things.
This was definitely the best arrangement!
At this moment, although the two ministers did not have any communication, they had a tacit understanding as they both thought about the same thing.
‘Next time, I should find an opportunity to secretly talk to Lorne and explain the benefits of my department to him!’
The king’s carriage stopped temporarily when it reached the side gate of the royal city.
Rosen was the first one to speak up, “Your Majesty, I shall take my leave first. I am going to take a detour and go to Zorn’s house.”
Kyle was stunned.
“Why did you suddenly think of visiting Zorn’s house?”
Rosen said helplessly, “Please don’t ask for further details, Yor Majesty. Last time, when I competed with him in archery, I was one arrow behind him.
“So, I lost a jar of good wine to him and have not honored the bet. This time, since I asked Lorne for this excellent strong wine, I might as well give him a jar so that he won’t keep asking me about the bet.
“When that time comes, that Zorn won’t know what’s going on. He’ll drink up the entire jar of strong wine and I can get to watch him fall to the ground drunk. It’ll be easier for me to take revenge this way!”
When Kyle and Andrew heard this, they did not know how to respond. No one would have thought that the most important minister in the palace, the Grand Duke Rosen was like a child, pushing and pulling with Zorn.
However, these palace ministers were all from the founding era, and they were all old and have known each other for a long time. Therefore, they were very closer than most would think. It was not that there were no court fights and intrigue, but it was relatively much lighter.
Therefore, Kyle waved his hand.
“Go, and greet Zorn for me as all. Tell him not to waste his time and focus on his martial arts. Our Lolan Empire may not be peaceful in the next few years, and we will need him at some point.”
Rosen immediately gave a salute before he left. Then, with a jar of wine in each hand, he quickly walked into another carriage.
Andrew glanced at the sky. After a short moment of consideration, he also saluted to Kyle.
“Your Majesty, in that case, I’ll give this jar of wine to brother Aaron, so that he won’t forget about me and Rosen going to the tavern.”
Kyle waved his hand, as usual, indicating that Andrew could leave too.
