4.14 The scheming in the conspiracy
In the palace of Grand Prince Oakley, a banquet prepared for the candidates for kings from various countries was held. While drinking, Carl warmly welcomed visitors from various principalities. During the banquet, the prince did not show any airs of the leader from beginning to end, but conveyed the enthusiasm of the landlords.
When facing the candidates for the two weak little priests, Wester and Bix, this young knight also humbly expressed that "we are both Ximanns, so everyone should strengthen their contacts."
Carl's affinity performance surprised the envoys from various countries, mainly because of the contrast between Carl's attitude being highlighted by the arrogance of Grand Duke Oakley.
The steel balls and steel bars in this world replaced the piano, colliding with each other in the palace, and the music produced was jingling, while the orchestras played a peaceful melody soothingly. The waiters politely held the plates and waited on the side.
At the main seat of the banquet, Carl: "Everyone, we are all Shimanns. Today we are together. I think the most important thing is to let everyone share friendship. As for other things, any result will be secondary. As long as the friendship is there, Oakley can accept all the results with a smile."
At the banquet, Oka's beast driver Loget saw Carl with extraordinary charm at the banquet, and couldn't help but sigh and said to Shiroto: "Oakley's heir is not simple."
Cheng Tor held the wine glass and gently shook the red liquid inside. The grape-sized fruit in the cup also swayed with the shaking of the wine. At the same time, he smiled in the grasp of everything, "But Oakley is not talking about him now."
Logot was still going to say something that he was stopped by Lantao City Tou. Because the king of Pratt and Whitts was coming towards the team on Oka's side, Cratt stood up to greet the approaching visitor. He was thinking about the official speech that should be between Oka and Pratt and Whitts.
Jianjia Havina, sixteen years old, is the granddaughter of Grand Duke Pratt & Whiss. She is a senior physician and is a candidate for the election of the king for Pratt & Whiss.
There is not a lack of women participating in the selection of kings, but most of the time, families who sent women to choose the kings did not expect the result of the election. For example, three hundred years ago, the candidates sent by the Thorn Wall family were women.
According to official Oakley records, Princess Olila sent by the Thorn Wall family met with the former Grand Duke Oakley who also participated in the election of the king. The two sides developed love, and then Princess Olila became the wife of the former Grand Duke Oakley. Finally, when forming the Anti-Oka Empire Alliance, this woman from the West family even commanded Oakley's legion as a general.
In fact, the Thorn Wall family tried to join the Qunten family in Oakley before choosing the king. When they joined, they expressed their willingness to marry before choosing the king.
Princess Olila of the Thorn Wall Family was already a high-level knight when she participated in the selection of the king. Like the Grand Duke of Oakley, both sides were seed players who could enter high-level professions. Such seed players were of course the purpose of marrying out of the country.

Grand Duke Pratwick now sent his granddaughter, Jianjia Havena, sixteen years old. Although he was first-class in appearance, his own medical profession was only at the lower level. Pratwick's family was obviously different from the Thorn Wall family that urgently needed allies back then.
Now, as beautiful as a clear spring, Havina came to the Oka people's queue.
Chengtuo bent down and saluted: "Your Highness, your arrival has brought your light to this place."
Havina covered her mouth with a delicate fan and smiled, "Mr. Fu Bing, thank you for your praise. Can I sit down with you?"
Cheng Tou: "I am extremely happy, please."
Havina looked at Suta who was silent on the side and said, "His Highness Suta, I'm very happy to see you. Maybe I'll change my name next time we meet." (The subtext is: With the support of the Oka people, you have a high chance of being elected as the king this time.)
Suta said: "You are kidding, the light of the Jianjia family makes you extremely dazzling."
Suta's half-aged child's words are soft and thorny. The subtle meaning is: You are just relying on the glory of your family, and you are still a lower-level doctor at the age of sixteen. At this time, Suta was fourteen years old and had already become a senior snatcher profession. He must be a targeter when he was eighteen. In terms of the progress of the magic line, he is much better than Havina. Suta has not lost the opportunity to become a superior professional.
Havila smiled, not continuing the topic, quietly ignored Suta. She turned to continue chatting with Chengtuo.
Havila was stunned. She didn't mean to mock Suta as a puppet, but now it is obvious that Suta is very sensitive to this matter.
Havina looked at Carl at the banquet, and said with a smile on her face: "I know the protagonist is not me, but Mr. Lantao, can I take away some roses when I am in the process?"
Cheng Tuo's eyes moved: "Your Highness, you are the most gorgeous flowers on the stage now. Can other flowers be more beautiful than you?"
Havina, sitting on the chair, raised her legs, wearing white shoes, exposed her long legs from the sky blue skirt. She still had a smile on her face, and she said with a slander: "There are only a handful of heroes on the mainland who can advance to the top profession, and among these few candidates, are there anyone willing to offer flowers for me?"
The music at the banquet continued, but when the leader of the Oka team, Chengtou, heard Havina's words, a ray of light flashed in his eyes. The Pratt & Whiss King's Chosen seemed to have some requirements in other aspects.
Now, in order to take care of Pratt & Whis’ allies, the upper class of the Oka Empire planned some plans and at the same time acquiesced to some of Pratt & Whis’ actions. In this complex and treacherous political situation, personal factors are now playing a role.
Havina now represents the interests of Pratt & Whiss. But now some of the words she said to Cheng Tou have expressed her own thoughts in a very obscure way.
Havina doesn't want to be a soccer at this king-select meeting. She also wants to fight for something for herself. So what does this girl want to fight for? Money? She doesn't lack. Rights? She doesn't pursue such complexity, as a granddaughter of Grand Duke Pratt & Whiss, she said that her social status was enough at this time. So what exactly did she want?
Chengtuo looked at Prince Carl, who was so majestic in the venue, looked at Havina again, and sighed in his heart. When the big guys were designing plans, they didn't expect some special things that happened during the planning process.
Now Havina is obviously attracted to the handsome Carl. Of course, Havina has not yet expressed it now. For the planners at the top, it is impossible to temporarily infer the script of "love at first sight" that appears.
Havina, who knows some of the inside stories of Oka and Pratwicks, is a smart woman. She will not foolishly reveal the inside story to Carl, and prays for Carl to have a good impression of herself like a mermaid who expects the prince to fall in love with her.
As smart as she decided to use this important role in planning to negotiate with the planners and let the planners help her.
Using the political chips that are calculating between senior officials and planning for their personal love, this woman is extremely smart.
Havina knew the distance between herself and Carl.
The circle of the top aristocrats on the Western Continent is not big. The patriarchs of those big families with superior professionals clearly record the young people who have the potential to advance on their tables.
The higher the nobles are, the more cautious they are for the marriage of outstanding children in the family. For example, the outstanding children of the St. Sokne, the Marquis and Earls family can also get to know each other in the celestial tower of the capital. However, those outstanding disciples in the Duke and the royal family are not allowed to get to know each other in that circle.
Although Havina is very beautiful, she will definitely become a median professional in the future. However, aside from the gilded identity of choosing the king now, her identity is far from being worthy of Carl.
What she has to do is: First, make Carl fall in love with herself; second, let these planners promote their marriage with Carl.
The music at the banquet was still soft, but the city was shining, and the eyes were intertwined with a lot of meaning under the false smile.
Cheng Tou responded: "Pratt & Whis has always been the most important ally of the Empire on the mainland, and this will not change in a hundred years."
Havina nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the elders of the family also attach great importance to diplomatic relations with Oka." Obviously, she was waiting for Shiroto to make what she was waiting for.
Cheng Tou looked at the girl who had been smiling and had no emotional changes on her face, and she secretly felt vigilant. At the same time, Cheng Tou also looked at Carl dozens of meters away. She was worried about being disrupted by the two countries' plans, and women in love were irrational.
Cheng smiled and said, "Your Highness, we are happy to see your youth blooming now. The prince now may turn into a frog in the future and wait for you to save it."
When the family declined, the superior family had to give up their outstanding disciples. In Oka's strategy, the Principality of Oakley was the object of weakening.
Shiroto made a promise with a vague expression, but when he was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by the change in the atmosphere in the venue.
More and more people in the venue turned their eyes out the window, and some people also used sight-seeing spells to observe. Everyone saw multiple light spots rising to a high altitude, and there were many sighters among the nobles present. During the sighters' observation, this magical firework dragged out an arc of seven or eight thousand meters high and then fell. And in just a few minutes, this strange firework appeared again and again.
