Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

387 Second Princess

“What a beautiful jasmine, what a beautiful jasmine…”

After returning to the Maple Leaf Palace, which was the Goethe Palace,

The meeting with the Prime Minister of Goethe ended on bad terms. The outcome was unexpected, but it was reasonable. Although Kang De was in a depressed mood, he quickly adjusted his state and planned to put this matter aside.

The so-called state adjustment referred to moving a generator and computer from the white fog world and starting to play games.

He opened Civilization 6. To hell with the Prime Minister.

Humming Old Qin’s theme song, he began the next round.

After drifting on the deserted island for more than a year, Kang De’s sharp weapon to pass the time was the Civilization Series and the Paradox Universe. The Civilization Series was four to five to six rounds of fun. If he was tired of it, he would go to the Paradox Universe.

He welcomed the driver, burned glass on an alien planet, married a granddaughter, and took in dogs from South America… Every time he played such a game, time would pass unconsciously. It was quite strange.

Time passed quickly. Kang De was immersed in the game world. In the civilization series, the sixth generation was the most embarrassing. The style was embarrassing, and the content was embarrassing, but the details of the scene were the best. This was very infuriating. Game-like scenes were not good, but the scenes were not fun.

However, the current Kang De needed a game that killed more time but was not very fun. It could let him pass the time and think about things so that his mood would not be too depressed.

The light and shadow in the game changed continuously. The little person ran around. At first, the gorilla accompanied Kang De and watched, but as she watched, she could not help but feel frustrated and ran away.

This was very normal. After all, the viewing ability of such a game was extremely poor and was far inferior to action games and shooting games. Back on the island, when Kang De played such a large strategic game, other than the parrot, no magical animal could last an hour. They usually began to yawn after watching for dozens of minutes and left resentfully. Only the parrot watched very enthusiastically.

Sometimes, it would even quack.

“Reverse! Reverse!”

“Rome! Rome!”

When he thought of the parrot, he sighed again.

Back in Valentine, combined with all kinds of evidence, signs, and clues, Kang De had already deduced the fact that the parrot was the previous Phoenix King, Marge. At that time, Delilah had pretended to be Tagris to negotiate with him. At that time, Twilight had proposed peace talks. The war was already showing signs of ending. He had even reached a certain level of consensus with this hidden current Phoenix King…

Unexpectedly, the world was unpredictable. Standing face to face in Red Maple City was the furthest distance in the world.

There was also the parrot…

“I killed so many elves in one go. It should be very awkward to see her again, right?”

If the parrot was the previous Phoenix King and was sealed into a bird, suppressed on the Holy Seal Islands, this meant that the pigeon, kangaroo, wolverine, and groundhog were all powerful figures from many years ago. If the gorilla could return to her human form, they could definitely do it. However, what was the connection…

Now that his iron son had unlocked the fighter plane form, it was extremely fast and could theoretically extend indefinitely. Kang De had originally planned to obtain a stable aviation fuel supply channel on Earth and let Horus bring him and the gorilla back to the Holy Seal Islands… However, after mentioning this thought, the gorilla rejected it very firmly.

“Don’t go!”

Her expression was unprecedentedly serious, completely different from her usual carefree appearance. That confusion with a trace of fear and serious expression could show her seriousness.

“If Kang De returns now, something bad will definitely happen.”

Due to the lack of memories, the gorilla could only say this much. She had been on the Holy Seal Islands since she could remember and was in her gorilla state. She could not remember anything before.

“But she said that everyone will come out on their own…”

At the thought of the parrot, he sighed again.

Hatred between countries and enemies.

It was not unprecedented.

Instead of saying that it was a precedent, it was more like a ready-made example.

He also sighed with emotion from today’s matter.

The small friendship he had formed with the Phoenix King, Delilah, in Valentine had probably already dissipated. The positions of the two countries and the blood feud were already irreversible. However, such a relationship had only been for a short period of time after all, and it was only an ordinary relationship. However, his relationship with the parrot was not something Delilah could compare to…

“You were very decisive in killing the elves on the island. You won’t blame me… right?”

He sighed and shook his head.

At this point, he did not dare to be sure.

After all, the example of Prime Minister Xide was right in front of him.

Cleveland’s father did not welcome him.

‘Not everyone has to thank you—that’s what he said.’

As the Prime Minister of Goethe, he held a grateful and respectful attitude towards Kang De. However, as a father, he could not let go of his son’s death. Be it venting his anger or being unreasonable, humans were emotional animals to begin with. He could not ask too much of a middle-aged man who had experienced the pain of losing his son.

However…

Kang De slowly exhaled.

“I’m sorry.”

He had a feeling that Prime Minister Xide’s political life was about to end.

When Tina returned, she chatted with him for a while, ate a simple lunch, and left in a hurry.

She said that she had something to deal with, but Kang De knew what she was going to do.

Kang De did not stop or interfere.

Tina had gone to find Grand Duke Leckos.

Cleveland’s father, Prime Minister Xide, had displayed almost uncontrollable hostility when facing Kang De earlier. Although it was human nature, it was obvious that Tina was already wary.

The incident in Glory Sand Town had taught Kang De and Tina the same deep lesson.

After their separation, although the two of them were far apart and it was difficult to see each other, they both had one of the good virtues that humans could continue until now—suspicion.

In fact, Tina understood the price of gullibility and carelessness better than Kang De.

Although Prime Minister Xide separated public and private matters very clearly and said it directly, publicly and personally, he was grateful to Kang De. He did not forgive him. This logic did not sound problematic, but on the political level, this was intolerable. Politics did not have public and private matters. Any qualified politician would not believe such nonsense of separating public and private matters. How could there be such a thing as separating public and private matters? There was only one benefit involved.

In particular, Goethe had grabbed a chance of survival from the danger of destruction. Next, they still had to face the hidden arrows and schemes of the elves, the Empire, and even the entire international community. When the option of military battle could no longer be used, vicious tricks and scheming strategies would follow.

Under such circumstances, Tina would not tolerate a person who was clearly hostile to Kang De continuing to be the highest administrator of this country. She would definitely take action and pressure the Grand Duke.

Kang De did not stop him.

This was because he did not know what to say or do.

Today, the reason why he left without a word and resentfully, not criticizing the person who had spoken arrogantly to him, was only because he was Cleveland’s father.

If it was anyone else, their brains would have been beaten out.

“I’m sorry…”

‘Although it’s your father, it’s not you.’

‘I believe you, but I don’t know if I should believe him.’

—Should I believe him?

He believed that he was clear about public and private matters. He believed that he would have nothing to do with me. He believed that although he did not forgive me, he did not have hatred and hostility towards me, nor would he plan actions. He would not be instigated and used by everyone and take revenge on me at all costs, but he said that he had nothing to lose…

—I trusted you easily the last time. What will I lose this time…

Kang De shook his head gently and sighed softly, “How troublesome…”

The core of everything was only because the other party was Cleveland’s father.

If it was anyone else, he would have long attacked first.

A faint melody sounded in the game.

Kang De pointed out random things and condemned everywhere. He cursed everywhere and wildly threw nuclear bombs. Flowers bloomed on all sides. In the background of the global thermonuclear war, the melodious jasmine tune looked even more humorous.

“I have the intention to… pluck… one…”

Kang De raised his head and looked at the ceiling. He pinched his throat and sang, “I’m also afraid that the mother hunter… will… scold… me… ahhhh…”

—A chuckle sounded outside.

Kang De’s expression changed slightly.

The door was pushed open and the gorilla leaned out with a tablet in her hand. Her earpiece was hanging around her neck as she said, “Hey, Kang De, this woman is looking for you.”

Kang De asked, “Who is it?”

The gorilla said distractedly, “It’s said to be Big Gold Hair’s sister, but it’s much smaller than Big Gold Hair. However, there’s no dangerous smell or hostility. The maids also said that it’s true… You can chat.”

She opened the tablet and casually waved her hand. She turned around and ran away.

This appearance was simply like Xiaoman who was addicted to watching dramas.

‘But I remember what I downloaded her…’

—Is PAW Patrol that interesting?

With a black flash, Kang De carried the computer table and generator back to the white fog world. In the blink of an eye, he returned.

Computers, generators, and the important crystallization and foundation of modern technology. Although he could not develop anything in eight lifetimes in the hands of the people of the other world, he had to be careful.

He returned to the other world extremely quickly. Coincidentally, a sea-blue figure flashed out of the door.

He had seen this sister before.

In the aerial battle of Red Maple City, Horus pressed down the last dragon and landed on the campus of St. Covero University. It was the jurisdiction of Tina’s second sister, Stella. Previously, during the aerial battle, the wave of very timely long-range spell support was also sent by Stella to dispatch the law teachers and students.

At that time, they had even met.

He had seen them in the past two days, but everything was busy after the war. Tina’s siblings were also busy. They had only symbolically met a few times and exchanged a few pleasantries. That was all.

Due to Kang De’s subtle identity, the Tedrell family did not know what attitude to use to face him, their “son-in-law”. Their cautious attitude increased the sense of distance and unfamiliarity, causing Tina’s eldest and second brothers to clearly look like good people, but they did not have the chance to chat properly.

Compared to the Grand Duke, Eldest Brother, and Second Brother, the women of Tedrell were clearly much stronger.

Although Tina had dodged Kang De for two days, she had changed her attack this morning. She was super bold and exciting.

Sword Saint Snowfall’s attitude was also as usual. However, she would occasionally reveal a strange and subtle expression, so it was nothing.

It was unknown if it was because of the battle the day before, but Stella was relatively the most unrestrained in front of Kang De. Tina said that she liked to tease people, but Kang De did not think so.

She was clearly a very interesting young lady.

Compared to the mage battle robe from the day before, Stella was wearing a sea blue and feather-white dress today. Her golden hair was braided and fell to her chest. She looked similar to Tina, but her temperament was more confident and intellectual. After all, she was already an instructor at the highest school in Goethe at a young age.

Kang De felt that if she wore a pair of glasses and changed her clothes, it might be much more exciting.

“Your Highness Stella, why are you free to come to my place today?”

“I’m not disturbing you, right?” The Second Princess of Goethe stood by the door. “Can I come in?”

Kang De shrugged and said, “Please come in.”

Stella took a careful step in and glanced quickly to her left and right, then heaved a sigh of relief.

Kang De asked curiously, “…What’s wrong?”

The Second Princess said shyly, “I thought I would see two naked maids on the bed.”

“…” Kang De said in shock, “Is this how the Grand Duke usually plays?!”

“No, Tina is almost 19 years old. She’s the youngest in our family. It’s obvious that he’s no longer fertile,” Stella said as if nothing had happened. “I thought a hot-blooded young man like you who comes from a noble background and grasps great power would not be able to help but reach out his hot hand under the hot and sincere admiration of the maids.”

—In fact, I reached out, but it was not at the maid.

Kang De’s expression was calm as he hid his contributions.

“That’s not romantic love, right?”

Stella blinked. “Of course. Women always look forward to love at all costs. After all, every woman wants to marry a man who dares to be enemies with Twilight for her—even me.”

Kang De shrugged and said, “The focus is not to make an enemy of Twilight, but to win against her.”

The Second Princess smiled and said, “Mr. Kang De, the necessary quality of a noble is to pretend to be stupid and whitewash.”

“I’m not a noble.”

“A man who never caters to women? He doesn’t mind his background or feel inferior because of this. He wins everything with his strength. The women who live in the flattery and pursuit of the bootlickers all day are also very fond of this. Even I’m attracted—Mr. Kang De is really good at seducing people calmly.”

“It sounds like being contradicted and refuted by a man with a lowly bloodline will make you excited?”

After a few exchanges, Princess Stella, who was good at teasing people, could not take it anymore and retreated.

This made Kang De slightly happy.

What had happened this morning was depressing. Tina was depressed with him, and the gorilla did not know how to comfort people. His iron son had gotten too good at retorting, and there was no one around who could speak with him. Fortunately, Second Princess Stella’s style was different from ordinary people. How could she be good at teasing people? She was simply a tool to relieve stress.

When he thought of how the answering battle had been captured by the phone camera in front of his chest, Kang De’s smile became even more sincere. He would remain calm and see if he could capture any shocking news.

“…Let’s not talk about this.”

Stella shook her head, not knowing if she should be depressed or happy. It was a happy thing to encounter a good talent, but she was a little unhappy to be pressed and beaten.

However, she was not here to flirt with Kang De today.

The Second Princess asked, “What did you do with Tina today?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Kang De’s heart skipped a beat, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. She argued with Father for more than an hour earlier, then ran out crying and locked herself in her room without coming out. I was a little worried, so I came to ask you.”

Kang De frowned.

It was probably because the Prime Minister’s matter was inconclusive.

He casually asked, “On the way?”

“Yes, I came to find you for something serious.”

Stella said seriously, “Dragon… about the third dragon you killed.”
