Chapter 102 Wapol and Mushulu (5-star review required)
...
The two of them didn't listen to a word their father said.
"Tsk! Father, we are the royal family of this country. If we hang out with ordinary people in a friendly and kind manner all day long, then what is the difference between us and these untouchables? They are born to serve us. If they can't even do such a simple thing and make us unhappy, then what's the point of keeping them? Is it a waste of food?"
Muxulu looked up with disdain.
Wapol laughed heartily and banged his plate even louder.
"Yes, yes, yes! Mushulu is right! That's how it should be!"
"Call me brother, you idiot!"
"Shut up! Both of you!"
The king's face turned pale. He couldn't believe that these two were really his own children.
Don't be angry, don't be angry, they are still children, it's normal for them to be ignorant! As a father, I need to teach them patiently!
The king first did some ideological work in his mind, and finally, when he saw the food coming, he did not continue the topic and said:
"Let's eat first."
"Ah? Eat these again? I don't want to eat these every day! I want to eat meat, roasted whole lamb! Grilled steak! Fried chicken!"
Wapol looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table, threw his knife and fork away in dissatisfaction, and started to lose his temper!
The king looked at the table and saw that there were only three dishes and one soup, which did seem a bit shabby for an imperial family. However, the country was poor and he always advocated frugality and prohibited extravagance and waste, so he had to start with himself. Moreover, these dishes included fish, meat and rare pickled vegetables, which was already quite rich.
Thanks to his unremitting efforts in recent years, the medical skills of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom have become famous. Relying on the income brought by medical care, the national economy has also improved a lot, and fiscal revenue has increased. Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to pay the annual heavenly gold, so how could they enjoy three dishes and a soup for every meal?
"Ahem, most people in our country are currently living in poverty. As the royal family of this country, we must share the hardships with the people and cannot continue to waste food and fish!"
"Do you know how many people in our country starve to death every time the sea freezes over for a few months?"
"We can live in a warm castle and have so many delicious foods to eat. This is already very happy. You should learn to be content and grateful! It is the hard work of those subjects that allows us to enjoy these things!"
The king tried his best to persuade his two sons, hoping that they would understand that every grain of rice on the plate is hard-earned.
Unexpectedly, Wapol's first words almost made him vomit blood.
"Ah! So they are the reason why we have to eat this garbage all day long! Damn it! They actually feed this kind of food to their king!"
"That's right. We should capture all these people and chop them up. With fewer people, we won't need as much food, and so many people won't starve to death. We can also save a lot of food for our royal family to enjoy! This is simply, it's... uh? What's the word for that?"
Muxulu then slammed the table angrily as he suddenly realized something.
"That's right! It's called yi shi duo piss (killing two birds with one stone)!"
The king closed his eyes in pain and rubbed his frowning brows with his thumb and index finger.
Honey! What should I do? I really want to beat these two bastards to death!
Dalton on the side also clenched his fists in anger. If it weren't for the fact that these two people were noble princes, Dalton would have wanted to rush up and teach them a lesson based on their remarks.
Damn it! What do these two bastards think of ordinary people? Is it really okay for such people to inherit the throne in the future?
"If you don't want to eat, just leave! These are all the dishes we have. After dinner, I will instruct the kitchen not to leave anything edible here."
The king picked up his cutlery and started eating, no longer paying attention to the two naughty kids opposite him. He even ate his food as if it was delicious in revenge.
"Father, it was Wapol who said he didn't want to eat, I didn't say that!"
The eldest prince Muxuru said shamelessly, then he wisely picked up the cutlery and started eating.
"Humph!"
Wapol turned his head away with disdain.
"Gululu!"
The sound of someone hungry was particularly obvious in the empty hall.
He wanted to continue to be stubborn, but when he saw his father and brother eating with gusto and the food on the table getting less and less, little Wapol could no longer bear it. He immediately picked up the cutlery and joined the battle, starting to wolf down the food.
After a while, all the dishes on the table were swept away, and Wapol licked all the soup clean, then burped with satisfaction.
The king smiled and thought to himself, I can't cure you two little brats!
After eating, Wapol lay down on the recliner and lazily rubbed his bulging belly. Suddenly, he thought of what happened yesterday and started to report:
"By the way, father, can we change the leader of our guard? The current guard leader has no regard for the reputation of our royal family!"
Upon hearing this, the king's brows, which had finally relaxed, tightened again, and he thought that the ability to control people was a basic ability that one must possess in order to become a qualified superior.
Regardless of whether this matter is right or wrong, they are our personal bodyguards, standing by our side with weapons every day. You, an idiot, are reporting on his father in front of his son. If you meet some narrow-minded people, you will probably immediately create a rift in your heart. Then the people who originally protected our safety will become a sharp sword hanging over our heads, which may backfire at any time.
So the king had made up his mind, but no matter what Wapol said next, he would be severely beaten.
"Father, you are the king of this country. This royal city and this entire country belong to you. But he scolded your son for wandering around in your own treasury and accused me of stealing! He even took out the locks he brought with him and locked the boxes in our treasury. He also kept the keys himself. Doesn't this show that he totally disregards you, father?"
Dalton, who was standing aside, couldn't help himself. He would not allow anyone to slander his great father like this, not even His Royal Highness the Prince!
He took a step forward and was about to open his mouth to explain.
