When Leo saw the Grand Duke introducing himself to others so solemnly, which was unprecedented, he immediately felt like he was being taken seriously. He first glanced at the Grand Duke in surprise, and seeing the seriousness on his face, he suddenly felt that he had grown up.
Quite a few.
He immediately stretched out his hand, looked at those people with shining eyes, and said cheerfully: "My lords, good evening."
The two people looked at the white and fat little boy stretching out his hands. Although they felt that his etiquette was a bit strange, they knew that this was the future emperor of the Ruman Empire, and they did not dare to neglect him.
Although it is an enemy country, according to the unremitting literacy efforts of propaganda agencies in various countries, everyone knows the great truth of "the divine right of kings".
This fat boy with shiny black eyes looks innocent and cute, but who knows which star in the sky he is from? Just one star at random is something ordinary people like me cannot afford to offend.
Although Prince Shakur has a similar status to him, for the Bosilia Empire, his ranking is not high. It is very likely that he is just a comet that flashes across the historical sky.
Of course, it is impossible to be on the same level as Leo, the future star.
Therefore, they all bowed and then solemnly stretched out their hands to shake Leo's hand gently.
At the same time, they were all wondering: Could it be that the Ruman Empire was so impatient to push that fat man onto the political stage?
The Grand Duke saw their doubts, smiled slightly, and said: "Let him come to meet you, there is no other meaning. I just want you to get to know each other. Because I think, General Maluk, you are aboveboard and upright.
A hero of one side. If there hadn't been that war, you, and Zorubakha, the commander of Samarkand City, we might still be friends. That's why I want to ask you to get to know my family."
Maluk was stunned for a moment, looked down at Leo, and then he was relieved and said with a smile: "Yes. Lord Zolu and I have been friends with you for a long time. Your Highness Juno. In fact, we are already friends, aren't we?"
After saying that, he and the Grand Duke looked at each other and smiled, feeling quite embarrassed that they had met so late.
Lorraine watched them being so congenial, and couldn't help but shudder, and quietly took two steps back - these two guys looked like they were inseparable, and he had to stay far away to avoid causing any discomfort.
Necessary trouble.
Maluk thought for a moment, then took off the knife that was inlaid with gems and gold and had a white ivory handle. He handed it to Leo's hand and said, "Press our wave."
It is a custom in Celia that you must give gifts to your friends’ children when you meet them. So, young master, I boldly ask you to accept my gift.”
Leo took the knife and immediately narrowed his big smiling eyes into thin slits, but still nodded solemnly and said, "Then I thank you for the gift."
As he said this, he pulled it out and took a look. He immediately felt a chill coming over him. Then his nose felt cold and he sneezed heavily.
He looked at the cold and sharp blade like a stream of autumn water, nodded pretending to be an expert, and praised loudly: "It is indeed a good knife~!"
After he put the knife away, he suddenly remembered something, raised his head and said: "General, even though I accepted your gift, if you and I meet on the battlefield one day, I will not keep it.
By hand. When the time comes, I hope you won’t blame me.”
Maluk couldn't help but feel awe-struck when he saw that although Leo was young and a little obsessed with money, he was neither humble nor overbearing in his dealings with others and was generous.
But on the surface, he remained calm, smiled, and said: "Don't worry, kid. Killing on the battlefield, life and death, no compromise is allowed. If that day comes, even if I am defeated by you, I will be happy.
.”
Seeing that Leo handled it well, the Grand Duke also smiled with great pleasure. Then he exchanged a few words with Maluk before leaving.
General Maluk watched them both leave and patted his waist as a habit. He was startled when he found that the place was empty. Then he remembered that the knife that had been with him for many years had been given away. He had to smile bitterly.
He secretly thought: The Ruman royal family is really full of talented people, and a mere child is so amazing. The empire will be in trouble... big time~!
At this time, Shacklebolt next to him snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "That is the Duke Julian who is talked about by the entire empire? It seems that he is not very powerful~!"
Maluk looked at the disdain on the young man's face. With all the vigilance and sensitivity of a middle-aged man who had come from his youth, he could see through at a glance the impetuous pretentiousness and self-righteousness unique to this imperial royal child and second generation ancestor.
.
But he also knew that even if he explained to him, the arrogant young man wouldn't listen. So he didn't bother to go up and just let out a long sigh.
He secretly thought in his heart: How powerful are they? How can you, a brat like you, evaluate them? The more you say, the more you will look like a fool~!
Thinking of this, he suddenly regretted that he should not have impulsively agreed to His Majesty and brought that silly boy here to embarrass himself.
He did not expect that Prince Shakur glanced at him, his eyes filled with deep suspicion and vigilance, but it flashed past and then disappeared into the depths of his eyes.
Lorraine accompanied the Grand Duke in the banquet hall for a long time.
He was surprised to find that there were all kinds of people gathered at this banquet, from all three religions and nine schools. He couldn't help but wonder that this was not a welcome banquet specially held for the Grand Duke, but more like a briefing before the auction. It brought everyone together.
, and then find out each other’s details, and then try their best to drive up the price.
While he was thinking, he was dealing with everyone,
At this moment, in a corner of the hall, the deans of the three major colleges were slowly walking towards this side holding wine glasses.
With a sweet smile on the old face of a clergyman trying to take away the last coin from someone else's pocket, Cardinal Obachum slowly walked closer.
He smiled at the Grand Duke, and then said a little apologetically: "Your Highness, this was originally supposed to be a reception banquet for you alone, but we just fought a war here, and now the funds are too tight. Everything has to be frugal. So.
You won't blame me for inviting all the people attending the auction, right?"
The Grand Duke looked at the old guy, feeling extremely depressed, and secretly cursed: This damn old guy, what a reception party, this is clearly calling all those bastards here to put pressure on me and demonstrate, so that they can get more out of my pocket.
Take some money out.
But he also laughed and said: "No, no. How could it be? The more people there are, the more lively it is, right? I just take this opportunity to get to know who are the true friends of our empire."
He emphasized the word 'true friend' very hard, obviously very dissatisfied with this old miser, and reminded the old guy whether he could become a 'true friend of the empire', but after looking at his performance.
Next to them, General Wabador and Lester saw the Archduke's sharp words, and couldn't help but look at each other, and then took a step back together.
But they have not forgotten who gave them a huge favor in the past. For the price of one gold coin, they pulled out the navy of the Ruman Empire to cheer them on.
At this time, if you try to make things difficult for others just for a few dollars, they won’t be able to bear it.
But Obachm didn't care at all. He laughed, then leaned into the ear of the Grand Duke and whispered: "Your Highness, you are making it very difficult for me. We have discussed it. If you buy a boat,
Take your auction price and reduce it by another five percent."
The Grand Duke was shocked for a moment and looked at him intently without saying a word.
Obachm looked back with some embarrassment, only to realize that the two old partners had retreated far away, leaving him alone to play bad guy. The old man was immediately furious.
He cursed secretly in his heart: Everyone had agreed together, but now they exposed me as a shield. These two old bastards are really getting better and better.
He looked up at the Grand Duke's sharp eyes, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and shook his heart, saying: "Okay, eight percent, no more. Otherwise, this year will really be a waste."
"
After he finished speaking, his old face twitched with pain.
Only then did the Grand Duke react and said softly: "Very good, deal done."
After saying that, he turned around and left. He was afraid that the old guy would react and regret it.
Obachum looked at his hurried back and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He felt as if he had made a loss-making business.
He smacked his tongue and thought about it carefully, and then he realized that the Grand Duke looked at him intently because he was too shocked, not because he thought the kickback was too low.
When he thought of this, the old man beat his chest with regret and his eyes turned green. How much less money would he make this time?
Lester watched the Grand Duke leave, then stepped forward, patted Lorraine on the shoulder, and said approvingly: "Boy, that's right. Making bad ideas is like spring water, one after another. It's an auction, and another.
They are giving kickbacks and engaging in secret operations. In this way, no matter who pays for it, they will come back to thank us. It is really bad~!"
Lorraine also sighed in her heart and thought to herself: Yes, with my qualities, it would be a pity not to sell abductions~!
Leo listened to their conversation and immediately opened his big innocent eyes. After a long time, he suddenly pointed at Lorraine and shouted loudly: "Ha~! It turned out that I called everyone here to hold an auction so that I could raise the price for this bad guy.
It was you who came up with the idea. It’s so awesome~!”
Lorraine was immediately shocked, and it was too late to cover his mouth. Leo's clear childish voice had clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
He slowly raised his head and took a look, and sure enough, he saw everyone present staring at him fiercely, as if they wanted to eat him alive.
Not far away, Justice Julius turned around and stared at himself in astonishment. His eyes gradually turned into mockery, and he looked at himself with a sneer. It was obvious that the old guy was planning to settle accounts with his future wife.
.
Lorraine was suddenly startled in her heart, and then looked around with smiling faces and said: "Children are ignorant and talking nonsense. Don't care, don't care. Haha, hahaha..."
After saying that, he turned around, pulled Leo, and left the hall in a panic, heading towards a small living room next to him.
Before leaving, I could faintly hear Lester's complaining voice, saying: "Obham, you old bastard, you did this on purpose."
Obachm sneered and growled in a low voice: "Yes, I did it on purpose. That bastard kid stole my flower, I should actually skin him~!"
Lorraine couldn't help but sigh in her heart: No wonder Mexicans know that a priest is more terrifying than a donkey. Because for a donkey, as long as you are careful not to stand behind it, you will not be kicked. And priest, who knows when that guy will trick you?
Together, you will die without a burial place.
While he was thinking about it, he opened the door and walked in. He immediately saw Catherine and others sitting inside chatting. In addition, there were also many female relatives of the guests sitting inside. It was obvious that this was a place for women.
The reception room where guests gather.
When they saw Lorraine rushing in with a beautiful and lovely child, they all looked at them in surprise.
Catherine looked at it and hurriedly came up to her, saying, "What happened?"
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said: "As for the auction, your old man knows that it was my idea."
Catherine immediately shuddered. She thought for a moment and said, "Then you hide away for two days, and I will give you a few more good words here. Maybe he will be fine after his anger subsides."
As he said that, he quickly helped him open the huge floor-to-ceiling window next to him and said, "Okay, you can leave quickly."
Lorraine looked at the window and couldn't help but hesitate.
Catherine looked at it and stamped her foot, and said angrily: "Just think it's for me and don't get into an argument with him. Isn't that okay?"
Lorraine watched her eyes widen with anger and her beautiful gray eyes. Her heart immediately softened and she surrendered: "Okay, okay."
He jumped out of the window and was about to leave.
Catherine hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait a moment."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand, then hugged his neck and kissed him affectionately. Lorraine, who kept kissing, almost died again, and then he separated and said: "Okay, let's go quickly."
After saying that, he closed the window heavily.
Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the Ruman Empire, leaned against the window and gasped for a few times, cursing in her heart: I really owe you. I looked better just now, but this is going to cause trouble again~! It pissed me off.
, I will elope and see what you can do to us~!
She cursed in her heart and just when she thought of this, she felt something was wrong. When she opened her eyes, she saw the surprised and curious looks of people around her, and they kept whispering.
Catherine couldn't help but flew into a rage and shouted angrily: "What are you looking at~! Have you never seen anyone else be a lover~!"
All the ladies were immediately frightened by the queen's domineering aura emanating from her whole body, and then they all lowered their heads.
Many horny young wives and mistresses have this thought in their minds: I heard that the young man is the Count of Lorraine who can write poems, compose plays, and fight. The young man is quite handsome and has a good figure.
I don’t know if it’s a one-night stand or not. Although I am usually dignified and virtuous and not a casual person, but once I become casual, I am not a human being...
Lorraine jumped out of the back window, then walked along the path at the back and around to the front. As soon as he reached the path near the gate, he saw a man jumping out from the side and covering his eyes with his hands.
Lorraine was immediately startled, and then a delicate orchid-like fragrance came from his nose. He immediately relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, he felt the person approaching his ear and said in a tired voice: "Guess who I am?"
Lorraine felt a burst of hot air blow out from the other person's mouth and into her ears. Her whole body felt numb immediately. Then, she felt two plump and delicate soft jade balls pressing tightly against her chest.
There was an excruciating feeling on my back.
He immediately felt lustful and pushed back hard twice, feeling waves like the sea coming from behind.
The man suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, reached out angrily and patted him, and shouted softly: "Don't move around, guess quickly, or I'll make you look good."
Lorraine sighed, then used her backhand to touch the other person's round and plump buttocks. Feeling the smooth and surprisingly elastic softness on her fingertips, she said: "Melia, Melia,
Who else has such a great mind besides you?"
A tingling sensation like an electric shock came from three vital parts of her body at the same time, making Hilmeria let out a low cry, almost unsteady, and fell to the ground.
She turned around, pushed Lorraine to the tree hand next to her, then hugged him tightly with both hands, kissed him deeply first, and then breathed heavily and said in a trembling voice: "You...
You... let's meet at the same place today, okay?"
Lorraine looked at her disheveled clothes, her pretty face flushed, and her charming eyes that were almost dripping with water, and said, "Of course, I'll see you at the same place, even if a knife falls from the sky, we'll see you there."
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps nearby.
The two of them were so frightened that they immediately stopped moving for fear of making any sound.
Then, without noticing the footsteps, he gradually walked past.
Lorraine became lustful at that moment, and reached out to touch the vital parts of Hilmeria's body.
Hilmeria's body immediately went limp, and she couldn't help but groan. Her eyes were suddenly covered with mist, and at this moment, a burst of laughter came from the hall.
Hilmeria was startled, and then she realized. This was not a good place for an affair. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to slap Lorraine's claws away. Then she raised her head and slapped her away.
Di glanced at him and said, "Remember that."
After saying that, he jumped out. He tidied his clothes and hair, then pretended to be nonchalant and walked out calmly.
