In the middle of summer, the air is very hot, but Luke's mansion is brightly lit and the servants are busy. Tonight, Luke will hold a small banquet to entertain His Majesty Catherine, which is said to determine the future of the imperial capital.
Fate, so no one dares to make any mistakes.
It was still early, and the protagonist of the banquet, Queen Catherine, would not arrive for a while, so the owner Luke sat leisurely in his study, drinking Bordeaux, and casually looking through a book. And Luke
In the study, there is also the great magician Victor.
"Luke, do you really have to support Catherine with all your strength?" Victor sat in Luke's study and said to Luke who was reading a book beside him.
"Oh, dear friend, why did you say that suddenly?" Luke put down the book in his hand, looked at Victor, and said in a gentle tone: "Is it because of tonight's banquet?"
Victor shook his head and said, "We have been in love for decades. Don't I know your thoughts yet? You deliberately highlight the cruelty of orcs in front of them today, just to induce those greedy and fearful of death to leave here."
Luke smiled slightly, nodded and admitted Victor's words: "Yes, I will make it impossible to hide it from you."
"Why?"
“What’s why?”
"Catherine, why do you have to support her with all your strength?"
"Why not? Old friend."
"Luke!" Victor said to Luke patiently: "How much do you know about Catherine? Her past is as clean as a newborn baby. The only thing that can be confirmed is the part of the formation of the goddess team before the Royal Athletics competition.
Experience. Going forward? Where did she live? Who taught her magic? Her parents, relatives, friends?"
"So what?" Luke smiled faintly and said to Victor: "Nothing is important, Victor. Just two points are enough."
Victor didn't say anything, but stared at Luke's face with his eyes, hoping that some clues could be seen from his face.
Luke smiled again and said, "First point, Catherine is a civilian, and does not have a huge family as the foundation. As her identity, she may also be supported by Fernando's bloodline. Only I can help her, and there is no need to be afraid that she will treat me.
What impact does this have? This second point is even simpler. After all, she also has the right to inherit and complies with the laws of the empire. Orlando is not considered a violation of the oath. I can't be sorry for my daughter."
"You are dancing on the needle tip!"
"After that night, anything I did was dancing on the tip of the needle!" Luke suddenly said loudly: "Victor, my old friend, I have no way out now, and Orlando is unwilling to cooperate with me.
, I don't want to rebel, so I have to have a symbol of imperial power there, only she is the most suitable candidate. Whether she wants or not, I just need to borrow her identity. And, even if she has anything
Question, dear Victor, with your strength, are you still afraid of her?"
Victor remained silent. Indeed, with Victor's current strength, even if he met the Saint Knight who led a whole legion of Orlando, he could escape unstoppable. Although Catherine had strong magical strength, she was not his.
Opponent. Besides, Catherine was born into a civilian, not the nobleman that Victor hated the most. For this reason, Luke chose Catherine and was more acceptable to Victor than to choose those fat guys. However, Catherine should be
There are also many secrets hidden, such as the natural charm, which is why Victor vaguely feels something is wrong.
The study room fell into silence again, Victor sat there silently, and Luke picked up the book and continued reading.
There was a burst of rapid footsteps outside the door, and the footsteps disappeared after they arrived at the door. Then a male servant's voice sounded: "Master, Queen Catherine's carriage is about to arrive."
Luke stood up, and he smiled and said to Victor: "Let's go, old friend, accompany me out to greet the guests." Victor shook his head and said: "You know I'm most annoying to these things, I won't go anymore."
, I'd better go back to the Magic Tower." Luke was slightly stunned and then said, "You can do whatever you want, but Ryan can't follow you. How can he say that he has a close relationship with Farath, and many things will be impossible to avoid in the future.
”
Victor said: "I guess he doesn't like these things either. When he came back a few days ago, he said he wanted to ask me for advice on the magic circle. It seems that there is no time now. By the way, that little guy is quite tempted by me.
, Don’t use your bad habit to teach him.”
"Hahahaha" Luke laughed and said, "Am I as bad as you said?"
"Hmph!" Victor tidied up his clothes and replied, "You are worse than what I said, otherwise how can you deal with those greedy nobles?"
"That's right," Luke smiled and shook his head, "Okay, you go, but the war may be about to break out in the past few days, if so."
"Give it to you!" Victor threw a picture to Luke and entered $1~6~k in the magic browser.
c'n read the latest content-"Mahjong scroll, explaining: "If I need my help, just let Ryan use this scroll to teleport to my magic tower."
Luke solemnly put away the magic scroll, then pushed the door and walked out. A strong light emerged from the study, covering Victor's figure. After a moment, the light disappeared, and Wei
Kerto is gone.
As soon as Luke walked to the door of his official residence, he saw two brand new carriages slowly stopping. Catherine was wearing a magician robe and slowly walked down the front with the help of her personal guard, the goddess Saint Knight Christina.
That carriage.
Luke hurriedly came up and said, "Welcome to your arrival, honorable Queen Catherine." Catherine returned a greeting and said, "Thank you for your invitation, Lord Luke." After saying this, Catherine pointed again
The carriage behind said, "I also brought a few friends, hoping that it wasn't too abrupt."
Luke smiled and said, "You are so kind. Your friend is also my friend. Oh, now you have almost prepared everything inside, so please and your friends come in first."
After mutual humility and a no-influence communication language, Luke brought Catherine and his party to the restaurant, and Farath and others had been waiting there for a long time.
As the master, Luke cleared his throat and began to introduce: "His Majesty, please allow me first."
"Oh, please wait!" Catherine interrupted Luke: "There is one thing I have to say first."
Luke was stunned. Generally speaking, even in small banquets, there were few cases where guests forced to interrupt the host. However, as Katherine's identity, she could not be rude to do so. "Then please tell me." Lu
Ke said respectfully.
"I think today's banquet should be a private party, right? As the host, it seems that there is no need to be too polite to invite a few good friends to have dinner, chat and exchange feelings. So, please call me Catherine, not something
Your Majesty, how are you?"
"Ah!" Luke didn't expect Catherine to say this. He subconsciously opposed it and said, "This, royal etiquette is not allowed."
"Luke, I was at the door just now, for the so-called royal etiquette, I was so annoyed. You know, I am not a nobleman! Now here are just a few of my friends, and yours
Family and friends, everyone should get along with each other! Now I am attending this banquet as your friend, please call me Catherine. If I still have to use such boring etiquette, then I will turn around and leave!"
Luke hesitated for a moment, and he quickly thought about it, feeling that it was too troublesome to be too entangled in boring etiquette, and tonight's conversation could be called and spoken by friends in a relaxed and peaceful environment.
Come and communicate, the effect should be better. "Okay, as you wish, Kay Catherine."
After hearing Luke's words, Katherine's face immediately smiled, which was so beautiful that it was thrilling. Everyone present, even Farath and others, couldn't help but accelerate.
"Please keep going, Luke. I'm sorry to interrupt you just now!" said Catherine.
"Oh, no." Luke smiled and said, "Since he is a friend, why do you still say this? Let me introduce it now." Luke pointed at his eldest daughter and said, "Sophis, I
The eldest daughter, the wife of Orlando.”
As Luke's daughter, Sophie was naturally well-versed in related etiquette. She thought of Catherine and bowed, saying, "I'm happy to see you, Catherine."
Catherine also smiled and said, "Ha, so is me. You are more beautiful than the legendary one. It's a blessing to marry you in Orlando."
Sophies smiled faintly, with a shy look on her face.
Luke continued: "This is my little daughter, Farath."
Catherine followed Luke's guidance and looked at Farath. When she walked in, Farath stood behind Sophies, and Catherine did not focus on Farath.
And now Catherine's eyes just saw Farath, and her heart was filled with endless waves!
At tonight's banquet, Luke intended to downplay the background of the participants, so Farace did not wear a gorgeous evening dress, but instead dressed her usual clothes, so Farace wore the magic robe that Ryan gave her.
The purple magic robe on the body is very well-made, and the embroidered patterns on it are so embroidered that Faraway can’t let go. It also permanently solidifies a "natural charm" magic, making people wearing it more charming, which is for women
For wearers, it is a fatal temptation.
Unfortunately, Ryan, Farath and others didn't know that this purple magic robe was the treasure that Catherine never left back then. Later, when she escaped from the palace, she had to leave it behind. Now things have changed, but Catherine sees it again.
When she got to the clothes she cherished most in the past, she was no longer the arrogant and innocent little girl she used to be. Catherine was filled with mixed feelings and stood there on the spot.
