Chapter 1380: Stab First as a Courtesy
"..."
6
Looking at this strange hidden badge, Hearing Li Ang's mouth twitched violently. The wearing effect of this badge is also unreasonable. Shouldn't my artistic talent skyrocket as soon as I raise my hand?
And why is there no advanced route? I feel that if I supplement my political ability a little, strive to enhance my moral cultivation, and learn art well, achieving comprehensive development in morality, intelligence, and art, wouldn't this badge be directly advanced!
"Hmm... that's fine, let's leave the carriage greeting part like this for now!"
Looking at Hearing Li Ang, whose leader's demeanor suddenly skyrocketed for some reason, the old man nodded with satisfaction, then pulled the process chart on the wall down, squinting his eyes and muttering:
"Next is the reception of foreign guests, speeches by the fifteen ministers and the Prime Minister, the public party in the entire capital, speeches and oaths to all citizens, and the private banquet after the ceremony... Oh right, regarding the cake cutting at the banquet, you must learn it well!"
"No... do I have to do all this?"
"Of course you have to do it!"
The old man said seriously:
"The process that I and the Protocol Department set for you according to traditional etiquette is mostly serious and solemn. Although it can highlight majesty, it is not conducive to showing the royal family's affinity. We need to add a more approachable link, and cutting the cake for the guests yourself is undoubtedly the most suitable choice."
When he reached this point, the old man paused slightly, reached out to stroke his beard, then squinted his eyes and recalled with nostalgia:
"I was selected into the Protocol Department back then because I was good at cutting cakes. While highlighting the majesty of the royal family, I did not neglect any guest present, and I received great praise from the late King!"
"Hehe, Your Highness the Prince, tomorrow I will prepare six ceremonial knives of different shapes for you, which can be combined into about ninety different cutting methods. You only need to learn twelve common small flower cuts to deal with those relatively special situations... for example, such a scene."
After drawing six little people on the wall with a pen, the old man looked at Hearing Li Ang with anticipation, ignoring his increasingly gloomy expression, and asked with anticipation:
"If at tomorrow's private banquet after the ceremony, the envoys from the Northern Kingdom, the Storm Kingdom, the Thousand Sails Kingdom, the Refractive Kingdom, the Witch Kingdom, and the Green Shade Kingdom come over with plates at the same time, how should you cut the cake to adapt to the closeness and distance between the kingdoms? And not hurt the diplomatic relations between the countries?"
"Stab them to death."
"Ah?"
Maybe he was a bit old and didn't hear clearly what Hearing Li Ang said, the old man leaned closer and asked curiously:
"Your Highness the Prince, what did you just say."
"I just said... I want to stab them all to death!!!"
Snatching the pen, after crossing out those six idiots who didn't even know how to cut a cake, Hearing Li Ang, who had been tossed for more than ten hours, directly took the pen in his hand, made a series of stabbing gestures fiercely, and then threatened through gritted teeth in the old man's terrified expression:
"If you know how to cut it, then you cut it! Cut it well for me!"
"Also, listen to me! Tomorrow, whoever dares to come to me with a plate for me to cut the cake, I will stab one for every one I see! Then drag them out of the banquet and hang them on the tree branches at the palace gate to bleed them one by one! Bleed them to death!"
(っ°Д°;)っ?!!!
Strange, why is today's wedding a bit wrong?
Through the translucent colored glass of the waiting room, looking at the busy waiters outside, the Princess, who always felt that something was missing, couldn't help but frown in surprise.
And Anna, who was accompanying her as a bridesmaid, discovered Princess Veronika's strange expression, immediately took her arm, and asked softly with worry:
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"I didn't find anything wrong..."
After looking at the situation outside through the glass, Princess Veronika shook her head and answered in a small voice with confusion:
"But today's wedding seems to have been simplified a lot compared to the original process." "Ah? Really?"
"Yes."
Nodding slightly, Princess Veronika counted on her fingers one by one:
"Normally speaking, before we arrive here, there should be two dress checks, three makeup and beauty care sessions, morning dress worship, leaving home for commemoration, light meal with makeup... Only after these are completed would we set off from the palace to the wedding location."
After counting more than a dozen cumbersome processes, in Anna's surprised expression, Princess Veronika said with confusion:
"But those repetitive processes have been reduced a lot. Although commemoration and worship were done, they were done very perfunctorily... Strange, this doesn't look like the style of the Protocol Department?"
"..."
Good fellow... is it really that troublesome? And there are more rules on the groom's side? Can older brother stand it?
After listening to Princess Veronika's words, Anna couldn't help but clench her fists with worry, then tentatively guessed:
"Could it be that older brother felt the process was too cumbersome, so he discussed it with the people from the Protocol Department and simplified the unnecessary processes?"
"Maybe..."
Nodding with suspicion, Princess Veronika said with curiosity:
"But those people in the Protocol Department are mostly from the older generation of the royal family. Their seniority is high, and they are especially stubborn. How did Hearing Li Ang convince them?"
"Stab them to death! Stab them all to death!"
!.
After breaking half a stool leg from the iron chair with a snap and making a vigorous stabbing gesture, Hearing Li Ang, who was putting on makeup in front of the mirror, pushed away the terrified makeup artist beside him and roared at the old man behind him with a ferocious face:
"Can't offer condolences! I'll stab whoever I offer condolences to!"
"Can't give a speech! I'll only look for the nearest one to stab!"
"Won't go to the royal small meeting! If I have to go, I'll stab one for every one I see!"
"Won't do pre-wedding prayer! If you nag again, I'll rush out and stab the statue together with you!"
"You... you you..."
"Get out of here! Otherwise I'll start stabbing from you!!!"
"Ah! Don't! Don't come over!"
After swapping out the badge with the fear effect and scaring away the old man who was trying to force him to go through the process, Hearing Li Ang helped the makeup artist who fell to the ground, and explained with an apologetic face:
"Sorry, what I just said doesn't include you. It's mainly because that old man is too annoying. Only by roaring at him like this will it be useful... That, you just continue to put on makeup. Rest assured, I generally don't stab people."
"Okay... okay..."
Reaching out to support the chair with a lame leg and standing firm while shaking with the chair, the makeup artist, whose legs were trembling, walked to the left side away from the "murder weapon" and shiveringly continued to put on makeup for Hearing Li Ang.
And just as Hearing Li Ang closed his eyes and accepted the makeup service like Parkinson's, the guests who came to attend the wedding had already arrived one after another.
But when the messenger teams from major kingdoms arrived outside the auditorium and saw the huge photo hanging outside, a scream of horror suddenly erupted from the messenger team belonging to the Northern Kingdom.
"Impossible! Hers must be fake! Fake!!!"
