After some fighting, the three of them walked along the garden path to the residence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The first gladiatorial match in the imperial capital will begin today, and according to the trial, Vivien Leigh must participate in her first gladiatorial match this afternoon.

Vivien Leigh didn't seem to take this tournament to heart, and it was a natural thought. Princess Silver Dragon galloped through the northern battlefield without tasting defeat, and she also had more combat experience than Charlotte, who was always at Icewind Castle.

What's more, at this moment, Fei Wenli has achieved the seven rings and awakened the power of the bloodline, for her, the gladiatorial competition is indeed just a small child compared to the big scene she has seen in her life.

After all, there can never be a legend in gladiatorial matches, and even professionals with more than seven rings are extremely rare.

Although the world of Steeu is a world of high magic, the masters above the seven rings are not cabbage. A young man with the strength of the Clayderman brothers and sisters is completely enough to be called a first-class powerhouse on the suppression side.

But Charlotte and Claire weren't so optimistic.

Not to mention the sword of Damocles hanging over Vivien Leigh's head, even Prince Maysfield can easily bury all kinds of means in the game. What's more, today's rejection of Walter, the third prince, can be said to be completely on the opposite side of the Maysfield family.

Therefore, even though Vivien Leigh repeatedly said that there was no need to be nervous, Charlotte and Claire decided to go according to the original plan and accompany Vivien Leigh throughout the race.

The three of them walked down the path to the lounge area, where they were greeted by Lawrence and Herbert talking to two well-dressed men in front of the living room.

One of them was older than Lawrence, with sparse black in his white hair, neatly combed back, and a scepter inlaid with goose eggs and large onyx in his white-gloved hands. Looks like a well-bred old gentleman.

The other person is about the same age as Charlotte, he has handsome eyebrows and eyes, short blue hair with a watery gentleness, and narrow eyes, which are probably similar to the Korean version of the handsome guy Charlotte saw in her previous life.

He wore an aqua-blue ring on his slender fingers, and when the old gentleman spoke to Lawrence and Herbert, he smiled and stood by and listened quietly.

But no one would think of him as an insignificant waiter, not only because of his low-key dark blue aristocratic robe, but more importantly, because of his unique aura of a leisurely and strong presence.

As soon as the three Charlottes saw Lawrence, they immediately tilted their heads at the same time, pretending not to see it, and hurriedly left to the side with their heads down.

This move made Lawrence frown unhappily, and beckoned to the three of them, "Why don't you come over and meet Archduke Hotson and Archduke Ullapool!"

Where did Charlotte and Vivien Leigh dare to resist Lawrence at this time, they had to go over with a bitter face and salute the two archdukes with Claire.

Archduke Holmeson Marcus Griffin accepted the courtesy of the trio, while Eleanor Turner, Archduke of Ullapool, leaned sideways and received only half a salute.

Eleanor, who had blue hair, looked slightly distressed, and complained to Lawrence gently, "Grand Duke Lawrence, you really don't know what to do with this. As a contemporary, how can I bear the salute of the Earl of Winterhold and the Silver Dragon Princess? ”

"This is the etiquette it should be. Lawrence was relieved to see that Charlotte hadn't gone crazy at all.

Elinor bowed slightly to the three of them, "It's a pleasure to meet the three of them! the noble Earl of Wintercastle, the beautiful Silver Dragon Princess, and the genius mage of the North, Baron Claire. My name is Eleanor Turner, and fate has loved me to make me the Grand Duke of Ullapool, and I ask your forgiveness if I have any rudeness. ”

Charlotte almost saw Aven's shadow in him. The same humility and gentleness, the same observance of etiquette. When we met for the first time, it gave people a feeling of spring breeze.

Unlike Charlotte, who has a clear distinction between joy and anger, love and hate, and a few words from someone who doesn't like her eyes can make people angry and draw their swords.

"Eleanor!" the haired Marcus interrupted the conversation with some displeasure, "we should go back, after all, Grand Duke Lawrence rarely gets together with the Earl of Wintercastle, and we shouldn't disturb the communication between their father and son." ”

Elinor smiled wryly and nodded, "You're right, uncle. ”

He was also the Grand Duke of San Lorenzo, but Elinor seemed to put his position very low. To be honest, Marcus's words at this time were a little inappropriate, but not only did he not have the slightest anger, but he behaved generously.

The two Grand Dukes said goodbye to several people, talked to each other and left.

Charlotte was about to leave with her head down, but was stopped by Lawrence.

"Come back, don't you want to know what they're here for?"

Charlotte grimaced, like an echo worm, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Coming to the Alliance. Herbert said with a smile.

But we refused. Lawrence continued.

"Why?" asked Charlotte, puzzled.

Lawrence didn't continue to be angry about what had started, and after a while, he could probably guess why Charlotte had gone crazy at that time.

After all, it was his own son, and when he thought about it later, he realized that Charlotte's series of performances were all pretended, but I am afraid that he did not approve of the marriage between Fevien Leigh and Elbert. Thinking of Vivien Leigh's heartbroken expression, Lawrence also realized that he seemed to be inconsiderate in this matter.

He patiently explained to Charlotte, "Because of the name of righteousness." If you are in alliance with Marcus and Elinor at this time, who will be the leader of the alliance? Not to mention that you said last night that these two men had conspired, and although we don't know what they were talking about, it is not appropriate for us to join in. ”

"Lawrence and I agreed that it was not appropriate to form an alliance until we had figured out their purpose. lest those two do something crazy and turn us into traitors and thieves. Herbert followed, "So while it may seem like the League is more in our favor against Maysfield, rejecting them for the sake of the future is the right thing to do." ”

There were a number of political considerations involved, and Lawrence and Herbert taught by example the education of the next generation of elites.

Charlotte suddenly realized, he quickly understood the key, nodded and said, "But this is good news for us, because last night's incident Maysfield also started to be wary of those two, so Walter was sent to show us goodwill." ”

Of course, even if he retreated in time, Maysfield must have found some clues in the ecstasy cave. Lawrence also smiled heartily, "It seems that Masfield is not having an easy time. ”

"And what's the matter with Eleanor?" asked Vivien Leigh curiously, "just now he didn't behave like a king, but like a noble businessman." ”

Lawrence and Herbert looked at each other and smiled, and the former replied, "Because he was originally an aristocratic businessman who was beaten out by the Turner family to go into business." He was not originally the first in line to the throne of the Turner family, but his biological mother, the second wife of the Grand Duke of Ullapool, was Marcus's cousin. So, you understand. ”

"That's why he listened to Marcus so much?" said Vivien Leigh, nodding knowingly.

But Charlotte didn't think so, and he instinctively felt that the Archduke Elinor, who looked like Aven, was far from being as simple as it seemed.
