Chapter 320
The carriage was stopped at the gate of the palace.
The coachman said dissatisfiedly: "This is the carriage of Lord Aldridge."
A stiff voice sounded: "Sorry, it's my duty."
Aldridge, who was sitting in the carriage, shrugged his shoulders and said to the two students: "Unfamiliar voice, it seems that a new person has been replaced."
He opened the door of the carriage and led Mond and Kevin down.
An officer dressed in aristocratic outfit stood in front of the door. Seeing that the person in the carriage was indeed the famous bachelor, his expression suddenly became nervous.
He bowed stiffly: "Lord bachelor, I'm sorry."
Aldridge smiled and waved his hand, "Haha, it's okay, it's okay. According to the rules, the cars entering and leaving the palace gate must be checked carefully."
Seeing that the old bachelor was so easy to talk to and didn't put on airs, the officer breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned into the carriage and looked carefully.
"Please get in the car, Lord Bachelor, I'm sorry to delay your time."
The officer quickly instructed his men to let him go.
Aldridge smiled and led the students back to the carriage.
After the door closed, the sound of horse hooves sounded again, and the carriage 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."
Aldridge, who was resting with his eyes closed, smiled faintly and did not respond.
Kevin looked at the senior and then at the teacher, feeling a little strange, but did not ask more. He should know what he knew, and they would let him know.
After entering the gate of the palace, it drove for a long time before stopping. Kevin felt that at the speed of the carriage, the distance traveled was enough to go around his village several times.
After the three got off the car, they were led by a court official to a side hall. Unlike Kevin's imagination, the furnishings inside were not magnificent, but rather presented a rustic atmosphere.
There was an oval table in the hall, and eleven chairs were placed around the table. It seemed that it was used by the emperor to hold meetings with ministers.
Aldridge walked straight to a chair on the left side of the upper seat and sat down. Kevin followed Mond and stood behind him consciously.
About 5 minutes later, a voice came from outside the side hall: "His Majesty the Emperor is here!"
Aldridge immediately stood up and turned to face the door. Kevin also adjusted his expression immediately and tried to look solemn.
"Don't panic~ Don't panic~" He tried to suppress his inner excitement.
A man with a beard came into his sight. He should be in his 40s. His face was angular and hard, and his expression was majestic without anger.
"This should be the ruler of the Gabela Empire - His Majesty Emperor Bartley Griffin."
While thinking so, Kevin saluted him like his mentor and senior.
"Good day, my majesty." Aldridge greeted the emperor respectfully.
"Good day, my teacher." Bartley Griffin responded with a smile.
What, the emperor of the Gabela Empire was also a student of Aldridge's teacher. Kevin was shocked.
After Bartley sat down in the first seat, Aldridge sat down.
"I guess the teacher has guessed why I invited you to the palace?"
Aldridge stroked his beard, "I guess it's about His Highness Antonio's return to the capital?"
"Yes! Hahaha!" Bartley laughed loudly, his joy was beyond words, "Antonio, this kid really made me proud, this time it was a big win, a big win! Hahaha!"
Kevin knew what the emperor was talking about. Senior Mond told him about the situation of the Gabela Empire when he was free. 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 there is no natural dividing line like the Sunset Mountains like Aldo. The two countries have always had many frictions and have fought many wars in history.
This war broke out a year ago. It was very unlucky. The border defense line of the Gabela Empire was actually broken by the Nesta people. The opponent's army drove straight in, burning, killing and looting.
Emperor Bartley was furious and ordered the Duke of MacDonald, a veteran general in the army, to lead the troops to fight, 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. Whenever Senior Mond mentioned this prince, he would show a kind of admiration.
According to the senior, this prince has been very smart and hardworking since he was a child. He grew up with the praise of his teachers. What is more precious is that he has always maintained this state, unlike many young geniuses who grow up to be ordinary.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!
His Royal Highness Antonio just turned 18 this year. Although he has just become an adult, 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 Kingdom of Aldo. Both of them have talents and insights far beyond their peers, and they have shared the pressure for their father, the ruler of a country, early on.
Seeing how happy the emperor was, Antonio must have made great contributions in this war.
As expected, Bartelli said proudly: "It was Antonio's plan - ruthless, fast, accurate, and unexpected, which made Nesta's group of rats in the gutter suffer a great loss, hahahaha!"
This was the third time the emperor laughed after entering the side hall, which diluted the sense of majesty when he just appeared.
Aldridge smiled helplessly. His student was still as bold as ever. Even after sitting on the throne of a country for so many years, he would not change even in front of Kevin, a stranger.
However, this was also his attractive side.
"Ahem!" The old scholar had to cough to remind the emperor to remain calm.
"Uh... Oh! Teacher, this is your new student!"
Emperor Bartley reacted and felt a little embarrassed. He quickly changed the subject with Kevin standing behind Aldridge.
Aldridge replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, Mond brought him back from Aldo not long ago."
"Is he from Aldo?" Bartley patted Kevin on the shoulder. Kevin felt that he was very strong. His Majesty must have extraordinary physical strength.
"Study hard with Teacher Aldridge. This is the greatest luck in your life. Oh, by the way, you will be my junior in the future, so don't embarrass me!"
Kevin bowed and stammered, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Mond explained, "Your Majesty, he has just learned Gabela not long ago and is not very proficient yet."
"Haha, take your time, take your time." Bartley didn't mind at all.
The emperor turned to Aldridge again, "Teacher, let's talk business. I plan to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate this great victory."
