Chapter 64: Rules for Using the Great Command Technique
At the junction of the first and second districts of Abrana, there is a popular restaurant.
The restaurant is government-subsidized and provides daily meals.
Civil servants who come to this restaurant to eat can enjoy very preferential prices and rich delicious food.
In Deya's opinion, this is actually equivalent to a high-end canteen.
Not all nobles are rich, and not all civil servants are powerful nobles with fiefs.
The vast majority of civil servants are graduates from prestigious universities or people with high social status.
Really powerful and capable nobles have various maids at home. They will eat at home and rarely come to this kind of "canteen" restaurant.
But for ordinary civil servants, this restaurant is simply their favorite.
There were no maids or butlers to serve her.
But at a very low price, you can enjoy aristocratic food, which is the benefit for civil servants.
Deya was sitting in the restaurant. On the table in front of him were traditional Susaitani breakfasts including bacon, sausages, eggs, mushrooms, toast, black pudding, etc.
These meals are nutritious, but in terms of sophistication, they are definitely not comparable to those in aristocratic homes.
He sat at a table by the window, reading a newspaper in his hand.
The newspaper is an official gazette, and its contents are all the king's decrees, parliamentary decrees and so on.
The sales of official newspapers are not high, and the lower-class residents are not interested in spending money to buy them. They prefer to read gossip and tidbits like the "Morning View".
'No matter what era it is, people always like entertainment the most.'
This reminded Deya of those DouX videos before he traveled through time, as well as the various entertainment news that easily became hot searches.
Most people don't like to read this kind of serious newspaper, but civil servants have to read it every day.
Just like in this restaurant now.
There are many government officials like Deya who read newspapers in their free time after breakfast.
At this time, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing a top hat and dressed neatly and decently walked in.
Lord Muller is not a real nobleman, but only a title.
He worked in the royal family's Ministry of Internal Affairs, and his position and status were not high.
But he also has another identity, which makes him gain the attention of many people invisibly.
Lord Muller is the chief of staff of the Grand Prince, and it is because of the Grand Prince that he was given the honorary title of Lord.
“Breakfast is the same as always.”
"Yes, my lord."
The waiter in the restaurant bowed and retreated, which showed that this lord often came here to dine.
Everyone around him who knew Muller nodded to him and smiled friendly, which made Muller feel good.
He likes to be addressed as 'Your Lordship', which makes him feel like a true aristocrat.
Muller believed that one day he would become a true nobleman, not even a baron, but a viscount.
And for all this, he had to rely on the eldest prince.
Deya continued to read the newspaper and glanced at the lord inconspicuously.
This is his goal.
After obtaining the 'Great Command Technique' and practicing the power of this field, Deya once had a radical idea.
That is to find an opportunity to be alone with His Majesty the King, and directly use the Great Command Technique to make the King make a wrong decision, thus destroying the royal family in one fell swoop.
But fortunately, Deya suppressed this thought and faced it calmly and rationally.
It was from the Ringwraith Knight, King Susetani, that Deya learned that the position of "king" was actually an extraordinary profession!
The 'King' must have extremely strong resistance, and his 'Great Command Spell' is likely to be exempted by His Majesty the King.
After all, Deya was only a first-level mage. If he was exempted, Deya would be caught on the spot, and he would probably die without knowing how he died.
This also made Deya give up the idea of trying to command the eldest prince.
In order to meet the eldest prince, Deya can only meet him in his true form.
The eldest prince had a grudge against him and would not give Deya a chance to meet him alone.
If the eldest prince really did something at that time, Deya would become the main suspect.
Therefore, what Deya can do is to save the country in a roundabout way by controlling the eldest prince's most trusted staff and making the prince lose his judgment of the situation.
Lord Mueller finished his breakfast quickly, paid the bill, put on his hat and prepared to leave.
Deja also stood up at the same time and passed him faster than Muller.
He lowered his head and pressed the top hat on his head, muttering something as if he was chanting some spell.
Lord Muller's eyes were dazed for a moment, but he didn't react at all and continued moving forward.
By this time, Deya had already walked away with the newspaper under his arm.
"I heard from Celeste that His Majesty the King is investigating everyone in the palace."
"It seems that the Dark Moon Goddess's ritual has frightened His Majesty the King."
……
“Your Highness, I think at this time, you should take the initiative to show goodwill to the Cavendish family.
Princess Theresa made a serious mistake, which caused the second prince to completely lose the support of the Cavendish family.
If you can get the support of the Cavendish family, one plus one minus will be extremely beneficial to you."
Lord Muller stood humbly before the eldest prince and expressed his thoughts.
"Your Excellency, are you asking me to put down my dignity and curry favor with the Cavendish family?"
The eldest prince had an ugly look on his face and sounded somewhat dissatisfied.
In fact, he felt more embarrassed now.
Of course he knew that Lord Mueller's advice was correct and that he should put aside his pride and contact the Cavendish family.
But there is no way this thing will succeed.
At the King's birthday banquet that day, he thought he had completely lost the support of the Cavendish family.
He was so angry that he said those words to Deya.
Now Deya knows that he is the culprit who issued the 'bounty order'.
In this situation, how could he still get the support of the Cavendish family.
The eldest prince would never have thought that things would turn out like this. Deya Cavendish actually broke off the engagement!
But he couldn't tell Muller about this, otherwise it would appear that he, as a prince, was narrow-minded and incompetent, and would push a potential ally to the opposite side.
The eldest prince could only use an attitude of "I'm just unhappy with the Cavendish family" to get away with it.
Seeing this, Lord Mueller opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
He is just a staff member and all he can do is make suggestions.
As for whether His Royal Highness is willing to obey, that is His Royal Highness's business.
Since His Royal Highness the Prince was unwilling to show goodwill to the Cavendish family, he could only give up this idea.
The two men talked for a while, and then Lord Mueller said goodbye and left.
But neither His Royal Highness nor the Lord himself noticed that there was something that the Lord had inadvertently left here.
