"Wait, I'll figure it out, you're Fran, and you're the second prince, and you followed Claudia to York City with makeup......" Jacques muttered to himself.

"Jacques, what are you talking about......" Alyssa slapped Jacques on the shoulder, the news was so shocking that she wanted to find a place to vent, so she slapped her face again.

"Don't ...... I seem to know something terrible......" Jacques pushed Alyssia's arm away.

François picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "Even if I am not Fran and the second prince, you are still my friend and my savior." Jacques, I promise you the most expensive table of thank-you banquet in the imperial capital, I don't know if you are satisfied...... Together, this cup is ...... for our friendship"

The five of them raised their glasses in a daze, and drank them all.

Jacques swallowed the sweet wine, the wine was clear, and it was slightly spicy when it entered his throat, this wine had not been drunk, but it was ...... That's amazing!

Wrong!

I've just cleared my mind, why is it messed up again!

"That...... That one...... His Royal Highness...... I have a question, I don't know if it's convenient to ask?" Jacques finally said.

"The idlers have retreated out of the courtyard, and the people outside the hall are my people, you can say anything, please speak. ”

"Your Royal Highness, you and Claudia...... I mean, we've all felt like you and Claudia along the way...... Compare...... Tacit understanding...... Isn't that so?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Alyssa slapped Jacques on the back again, "Isn't that obvious, you said before that the two of them liked each other, and now Fran has become the prince, isn't it just right......?"

Senior sister, why haven't you turned the corner yet, are you hungry and stupid?

Jacques was at a loss, but François understood what he meant, and said, "My father sent me to secretly accompany Claudia to the New World, on the one hand, to give me a rest and rest, and on the other hand, to give us a chance to spend time in private." ”

This is already a change of direction to admit ah!

Alyssa was just too nervous just now, and she reacted at this time.

Looking at the strange expressions of the five people, François laughed, "It seems that you have all guessed it, it's okay, it's okay, I think the way you got along with me in the past was very good, don't think so much."

That's right, my father is more optimistic about me, and I was preparing to succeed to the throne six years ago, but I can't announce it before the time comes.

But I'm not just trying to show off with Charles, at least he thinks he still has a chance, hahaha.

Until the last moment, no one knows the outcome. ”

Jacques shook his head into a rattle, I didn't want to hear it, I didn't want to know, how could I know such a thing!

"No, no, no, it will be yours!"

Eating at a table with the future emperor, why is this wild boar not fragrant?

Lily picked up her wine glass and helped Jacques resolve her embarrassment: "Your Royal Highness, borrow your wine, we wish you and Claudia a lovers to be married." ”

Everyone raised their glasses together, and François smiled and drank the wine.

Marianne hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Your Royal Highness, the taste of this wine is similar to the grain wine in the Northern Regions, but the taste is completely different, is it the liquor of the Bright God Kingdom?"

"That's right, this is the liquor sent by the negotiator of the Bright God Kingdom, I heard that it is twenty years old, and the characteristic is that the older it is, the more fragrant it becomes, the main thing is to drink it strangely. Be careful not to drink too much, it's easy to get drunk. ”

Marianne put on an open face and said, "I have seen the tea and cloth of the Kingdom of Light sold by merchants in Yorktown, but I have never seen liquor. ”

François tapped the table with one finger, and the maids came forward to fill each of them with wine, and he picked it up and said, "There are not many good things in the Kingdom of Light, and tea is right, but many people dislike their tea for being relatively bland." The luster of the brocade is delicate and the patterns are complicated, but the price is too expensive, and there is no market in the empire. As for this liquor, because it has to be brewed with grain, the yield is even lower, and as we all know, it is difficult for them to eat enough food, so they use so much grain to make wine. ”

After another round of drinking, Marianne continued: "Two days ago, I heard that there was a problem in the grain trade between the Empire and the Bright Divine Kingdom, I wonder if the negotiators of the Bright Divine Kingdom are still in the Imperial Capital? ”

François stared at Marianne and was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Hahaha, Miss Marianne is really a businessman. Yes, if you come from Castia, you will naturally hear a lot about the grain trade. But don't fight the idea of the Kingdom of Light, they really don't have any good things, except for the source stone, there is nothing that the empire needs.

And let me tell you, if you smuggle trade with the Kingdom of Light in private, you are committing treason, you know......"

Although the face was still a little unfamiliar, the eyes were still familiar to everyone, some sharp, some arrogant, only stared at for a few seconds, Marianne's heartbeat skipped several beats.

However, Marianne has also seen the world, squinting and smiling: "You can frighten me, I just casually asked, I don't dare to do anything illegal." Besides, I was in the iron ore and steel mill business, and the Vester family's sea trade business was managed by my uncle. ”

François retracted his gaze, waved his hand and said: "Of course I know, but you don't talk about the railway, this time you cooperate with the Baptiste family, I know it clearly."

Some people say that the railway is the most important weapon of the country and should not be dominated by private capital, but Baptiste's railway company spread so fast in the empire that it almost tied the big nobles of the whole country to his train.

So, some people say that the railway royalty of the New World can no longer be absent, don't you say?"

Marianne nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice, and said yes again and again.

François smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, you are my savior, I will not bully others, I will talk to the guy from the Baptiste family about taking a stake in the railway company." But rest assured, your stake in the New World Railway Company will not be affected in the future, this is our friendship. By the way, prepare some silver coins, what do you merchants call it, oh yes, increase capital and shares. ”

As a token of appreciation, Marianne drank two more glasses of wine and drank so much that her face flushed.

Guests and hosts have fun.

The second prince, François, was very happy, turned to Jacques and said, "I really didn't expect you to come to the imperial capital so soon, but you can do me a favor, I wonder if you and Lily will be free tomorrow night?"

"What game?"

"The Transcendents Tournament, Gyeonggi Regional Finals. ”

Emma asked, confused, "Isn't it your brother's team?"

"No, no, we're his opponents, the Octopus. ”

"Ahh
