Vol 2 Chapter 1236: Brothers Heart-to-heart (Part 1)

"Brother? Brother?" His knock seemed to be ignored by his brother. Cedric watched as Olibat was flipping through the scrolls on the desk, and he had no choice but to speak.
"Oh... Cedric, you are here." Olibate returned to his senses and smiled warmly at his younger brother, but this pretendingly relaxed posture could not conceal his deep fatigue." Have you talked with your father?"
"Yeah. The doctors in the hospital come to check up every day, and they say I should be fine. But compared to that..." Cedric stood on tiptoe and looked at the papers spread out on the desk over Olibat's shoulders." Brother, are these...?"
"As you think, this is finalizing the final members of the mission, and I am making the final confirmation." Olibat laughed loudly. The mention of this made him feel quite good, with a tired expression on his face. It's all lightened a lot, "Oh...how do I say it. It's been a long time since I felt this kind of hearty thrill that everything was under control."
"This seems to be the first large-scale imperial mission to visit Libel since the "Hundred Days" campaign. "After the war, the Empire maintained a very delicate relationship with Libel, and some relatively close diplomatic activities had no room for development. However, the special relationship between Olibat and Libel’s high-level leadership is something that people can see. Possibility to work hard at this level.
Generally speaking, official mission visits between the two countries mean that many business opportunities worth investing in can be seen, and this time is no exception. After the media vented to the outside world and pointed out that Prince Olibat had been bypassed by the Emperor Ukent by the imperial government under the Prime Minister and was directly responsible for the diplomatic visit to Liber, the major companies, parliamentarians, and various forces that pleased him have sprung up. Like popped up. They are all human spirits with a very sensitive political sense, and naturally they can see the meaning behind this-if the heroic return of Libel a few years ago is equivalent to setting off a huge firework, all Those who are paying attention to the power center of the empire have noticed the existence of this previously unknown prince. Then the emperor's will undoubtedly represents the trust and trust in him. In other words, this is equivalent to affirming Olibat's value in politics.
And after more than a month, Olibate finally finalized a list of about 80 people who will visit Libel. He has his own considerations: First of all, because of the inevitable business relationship, such things as the communication between "RF" and "ZCF" are certainly not rare. Taking advantage of this political trend, the two parties may want to reach some further transactions; Olibat therefore allowed four senior members of the "RF" board and shareholders of the consortium to accompany them. The list is designated by President Irina. I thanked the "RF" president for his unconditional assistance to Olibat after he regained the company during the civil war. In addition to these inevitable connections between chaebols, Olibate is more optimistic about small businesses that have a bright future but are not yet mature without the support of imperial congressmen or imperial capital. They can use this to negotiate with the Liberians. Business opens up business routes, and Olibat doesn’t have to worry about being restricted by the imperial government.
However, having said that, it was only carried out after reaching a consensus with Chief Regnitz. Prime Minister Osborne seemed to be busy with some mysterious affairs. As the leader of the domestic reformists, he actually entrusted the second in command Regnitz to negotiate with Olibat. On the one hand, Olibat had the intention to win him over. On the other hand, compared to Osborne, who was resolute and sometimes unsentimental, Regnitz was also relatively more meek and humble. Let’s talk about an imperial city hall. Or the imperial government background does not seem to be appropriate, so the two sides discussed it and evened out 20% of the quota in the list and gave Regnitz, and the latter also stopped, no longer interfering in Olibat’s candidate and plan.
In addition, Oribat’s balance technique also needs to take care of the aristocratic forces in critical situations after the defeat of the Civil War; communication with them is also quite enjoyable. Olibat finally realized what Prime Minister Osborne felt: When someone asked you and made a clear loss and benefited their own business, the kind of happiness and fulfillment that was almost nothing to do with prostitution. Although this was far behind the fact that Osborne had cut and shed blood on the nobles in the Imperial Capital Hall for quite a while, it was like a domestic animal.
All of the above, in the past, Olibate would not explain in detail to Cedric-he stubbornly believed that his brother had not yet understood them. But, now the situation is different...Olibate decided not to tell Cedric, let him see how the highest power center of the empire works.
It was not without psychological preparation, but when Cedric learned what kind of private transactions, betrayals, and compromises are behind this glamorous power, he couldn’t help but exclaim:
I was too naive before. My brother handled it. This kind of thing is still easy to do, but it is really irritating to be described by the outside world as an ignorant "slutty prince". "
"Haha, that's what I asked for myself." Oribat triumphantly flirted with his hair, and habitually wanted to take the lute out to play a song, but found that he was wearing the royal suit at all. The musical instrument had to put down his hand angrily, "But... although this kind of balancing technique is very beautiful in the eyes of a third party, you don’t need to learn it. As the future emperor, you shouldn’t enter the arena as a chess piece, and other chess pieces. Fighting, but as a chess player, sitting on the clouds and overlooking all this."
"Now I may not even be able to do the work of chess pieces well..." Cedric just smiled wryly-about the throne, the two people have not mentioned it for a long time, "Brother, I am here this time, yes Hai... The teacher wants me to tell you one thing."
"What's the matter?" Olibat was curious.
"Actually..." Cedric whispered in Olibat's ear. After listening, Olibat's eyes lit up: "That's it...no wonder Levi and the others..."
Although he was very curious about what was going on—but seeing Olibat’s divine enlightenment, Cedric decided not to ask for the time being. There are some little secrets between my teacher and my elder brother, I won't tell myself for the time being. According to Heliga, when the time comes, he will understand.
"But... Since you call him "Teacher" now... Did he teach you anything? "Olibate, who spent a long time stringing all the clues in his mind, suddenly thought of this.
"Well... the teacher will come every week to teach me some swordsmanship and magic..." When this matter was mentioned, Cedric's eyes became quite confused, "that... brother. The teacher's magic is actually It’s quite a special thing different from the force magic, right?"
"Yes. The spell with the "Witch" doesn't seem to be the same thing, nor is it a magical spell handed down in the Middle Ages. As far as I know, he seems to be the only person in this world who knows such things. "Oliba nodded characteristically, and immediately realized something, "Wait... Cedric, since you are asking... don't you mean?" "
"Um...probably. Although I'm not sure..." Cedric said embarrassedly, and then raised his right hand-on the tip of the index finger, a small cold light was gathering there.
