However, since Lorne said so, Kyle could only smile and say, "I understand. I understand all of this. How could I not appreciate a favor? You truly treat me well, and I'll definitely not forget this act of kindness!"
Lorne nodded in satisfaction.
Suddenly, he seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind.
"Old friend, I've already promised to help you so much. Don't you have to show your gratitude now?"
Kyle was stunned for a moment. Then, he put a jar of wine in Rosen's arms and prepared to fork out some money as gratitude.
However, Lorne held Kyle's hand.
"Hey, let's not talk about money between us. This would just hurt our relationship. What I mean is, do you have any daughters other than your son?
"The kind of beautiful and elegant women that can topple countries and cities. It wouldn't hurt to give me eight or ten of them. If that's the case, wouldn't we be even closer? We'll practically become family!"
As soon as he said that, Rosen and the others' eyes almost popped out. Andrew almost bit his own tongue from shouting.
This boss really is a f*cking genius!
Not only did he want to be the First Prince's teacher, but now he even wanted to be the princess's husband?
Moreover, the moment he opened his mouth, he asked for eight or ten of them. It was as if they were just easily hand-picked from the streets.
Was the princess of the Lolan Empire so shameless?
This was truly the most amazing thing anyone has ever asked for in all of Lolan City!
Rosen and Andrew were completely in awe of Lorne. They almost took out a pen and paper from their pockets and asked Lorne to sign an autograph.
Not to mention Kyle, the king, was completely stunned in just a few seconds. Kyle only suspected that he had a problem with his hearing.
"Boss, what did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly."
Lorne repeated the whole thing. "I said, do you have any good-looking daughters in your family? Give me eight or ten of them to be my wives. Wouldn't it be even better if the two of us were closer by blood?"
"..."
"But we call each other brothers. Just now, you said that my son had become your eldest nephew. Now, you want to marry your eldest niece? Isn't that a little odd?"
Lorne patted Kyle's shoulder carelessly.
"Hey, old friend, you're treating me as an outsider when you talk like this. What eldest nephew, what eldest niece? Let's talk about our own matters and not dwell on these details.
"Your son would see me as his master, and your daughter shall see me as her husband. In this way, we'll practically be family. What could be better than this!"
"???"
Lorne was f*cking going for it!
'You were just calling my son your first nephew a moment ago, but now you're talking about something entirely different?' Kyle thought to himself as he stared at Lorne in shock.
Kyle now finally understood the secret to Lorne's success.
What a thick-skinned human being!
It seemed that his skill points were all here. Compared to Kyle, he did not seem like a person who had once been a king.
Kyle did not want to speak at all. The truth was that he did not know what he should say. He could only quietly put the jar of wine that he had placed in Rosen's arms back into his hands.
Then, he made a gesture and prepared to run out of the tavern.
Fortunately, Lorne was quick enough to grab Kyle's arm.
"Hey, don't go. You haven't promised me yet. All you need to do is tell me if you have a beautiful daughter. Whether we are good friends or not depends on this moment!"
Kyle shook his head like a rattle-drum as he spoke as quickly as possible, "No, no, I only have a son and no daughter. Sorry to disturb your night. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he quickly ran outside. Andrew and Rosen's held onto their laughs so much that they were almost suffocating from the pain.
After Kyle ran out, the two of them finally could not hold it in anymore. They burst into laughter on the spot.
It was Kyle who shouted angrily from outside, "You two old geezers, get out of there now!"
Rosen and Andrew chased after him with a jar of wine in each hand, but they still laughed as they ran. They could not control themselves at all.
Lorne hurriedly shouted, "Brother, don't go. Let's talk things through."
"If you don't have ten or eight, I can have three or five!
"If you don't give three or five, I oaky with having at least one!
"Can't you see that your good friend is lonely?"
However, no matter how he called him, Kyle only ran as quickly as he could and could not wait to disappear from the street.
Soon, he turned a corner and disappeared from Lorne's sight.
Looking at Kyle who had disappeared without a trace, Lorne could not help but let out a long sigh.
"Sigh, the morals of the world decline day by day. People's hearts have strayed away from ancient times. I did not expect that the traditional virtues have been lost until this state.
"Just now, we were as close as two peas in a pod. But when the most crucial time came, he pretended to now know me and ran away! This is too hurtful, it's too much!
"Didn't I just ask to send a few daughters my away? I can't believe that he actually put on such a pained expression. What kind of a person is he!"
Lorne's plan had failed. He could only return to the tavern in embarrassment and pack up his things.
...
After the king and his ministers ran around the corner, they quickly stopped under Kyle's lead.
"Has that kid caught up to us?" Kyle panted heavily and asked somewhat anxiously.
Rosen shook his head with a serious expression.
"Reporting to the king, the princess's husband hasn't caught up to us!"
Kyle immediately looked at Rosen with an unfriendly gaze.
"Rosen, what did you say just now?"
"Well... I said Lorne has not chased after us."
Kyle's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked back and forth between Rosen and Andrew.
"I seem to have heard the two of you laughing just now. What are you laughing about? Why Don't the both of you share your thoughts?"
Perhaps sensing a substantial murderous intent, Rosen shrank his neck.
"Reporting to the king, you must have heard wrongly. The two of us did not laugh. A palace minister like us, who is highly cultured and always pays attention to their status, would never randomly laugh."
Andrew also nodded from the side and added, "That's right, I am a serious person. No matter how funny things are, I will not laugh."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, one of them could not help but laugh.
"Pfft, hahahaha!"
