Chapter Seventy-Four: Platinum Amber
Miles looked at the woman seated in the middle of the long table. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
She had a snow-white complexion, long dark blonde hair like Noah, and her eyes were not as narrow as Conrad's bastards, but very similar to the sages hanging on the wall behind her, larger, rounderer, and brighter, and a sense of pressure arose when she looked at her.
The upper body wears a silk gown of unknown material that Miles can't name, and the patterned open collar is inlaid with a huge ruby, like a blooming rose.
The lower body was blocked by the long table, and she sat in the center with a silent smile, and when she saw the Marquis of Kelly walking in, she did not get up, but kept the smile on her cheeks.
"Welcome, Lord Marquis—you've finally arrived. "To the left of the woman on the throne stood a tall and handsome man.
He also had a pair of dark blonde hair draped behind his head, and compared to Noah and the richly dressed woman, his hair was slightly disheveled, with uneven ends, and every strand of hair interlaced with each other as if it had been deliberately chopped.
The man also had a pair of round eyes with a god, and his tall figure looked particularly oppressive, and he stood up at this time and greeted the Marquis of Kelly, who was hurrying forward.
Miles then noticed the man's clothing, he was wearing a fiery red velvet gown, embroidered with delicate needlework and thread with the golden roses of the Conrad family, a crimson brooch pinned to his chest, and a pair of jet-black crocodile leather boots.
"Lord Felix—sorry I'm late. Ryan Kelly slowed down and stopped in front of the tall man named Felix, his right hand gently touching his chest, and bent slightly apologetically.
Miles listened to his father's greetings and remembered that this person should be the second son of Archduke Conrad and the vice president of Platinum Amber.
Before he could bend halfway up, Ryan was gently supported by Felix, and he smiled and said to the old marquis:
"What are you talking about, I think the time is just right-"
"Poof-" Felix was halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by a sudden burst of laughter, not loud but harsh in the quiet room, and Miles couldn't help but look at the source of the laughter.
It was a woman, dressed in a rather revealing brown leather armor covered with small hanging tassels, and her curly brown hair slouched behind her head, and the woman who sat second to the right hand of the main seat was actually hunched over the legs of her chair compared to the others who were sitting upright.
The wide and comfortable mahogany chair was squeaking back and forth, only two of the four legs were still on the ground, and the other two were swaying like swings, and Miles couldn't believe that anyone would dare to sit so rudely in such a meeting.
"Ah, I'm sorry, don't worry about me, Felix, you go on. The curly-haired woman sneered in an impertinent tone, seemingly apologizing but not repenting at all.
"What's that attitude, Hilton!" a man sitting across from the curly-haired woman seemed to be annoyed by her attitude and stood up.
took off the light leather gloves on his hand and "snapped", fell on the table lightly and heavily, and pointed with his right hand at the woman who was sitting opposite him, holding his hands behind his head and still holding Erlang's legs with a look of indifference.
"If you dare to speak to me like that when you leave Platinum Harbor, I can admire you a little, boy of the Meyers—" Hilton's words seemed to come out of her nose, and she didn't even look across the eye, her eyes on the snowy canopy with ornate chandeliers, as if there was something noteworthy there.
Miles's heart suddenly brightened, just now these two people were called out of their surnames, and he already knew who they were. The curly-haired woman was known as "Hilton", and was known throughout the South Seas and Worms, and the pirate empress "Lace Hilton", who owned seventy-five large ships.
Although it was the first time to attend the rally, Miles had done quite a bit of homework, and besides, none of these bigwigs was famous, as the king of pirates, Hilton was the spokesperson of the Conrad family and even the entire Platinum Amber in the South Seas, and together with Baron Henry, one of the four great ship kings, controlled all the pirates in Worms for the Conrad family.
It is rumored that the pirate has always been casual, and it is said that she dared to be eclectic in front of the Grand Duke Conrad, and it is no surprise that she interrupts her second son with a rude laugh.
The man who peeked at Hilton on the other side was wearing a dark green plush bodysuit with a silver-rimmed silk vest and boots on the soles of his feet, and his robe was covered with glittering silver leaves like Felix.
Needless to say, this must be the eldest son of the Meyer family, "Florie Meyer", the floating silver fallen leaves have always been the unique emblem of the Meyer family, as the in-laws of the Conrad family, since the first Grand Duke broke away from the Loren Kingdom, the Meyer family has always followed Conrad's footsteps.
Today, Grand Duke Conrad's wife, Hannah Meyer, is the elder of the Meyer family, Philip's younger brother, and Florey is Felix's cousin.
With the support of Conrad and Meyer, it's no wonder that he dares to stand up and argue with Hilton.
"That's enough, Lace, Flory—" The woman seated in the throne finally spoke, but she still had a smile on her face, and there was no sign of exasperation.
Hilton and Flory paused at the same time, turning their faces away from each other in a stupid manner, but the argument stopped.
Miles exhaled, regretting that he couldn't recognize the woman sitting on the throne at the first time, obviously there could be no one else, who could hold the throne in the meeting of Platinum Amber, and drink back the pirate empress and the eldest prince of the Meyer family, naturally there would be no one else except the current president of the Platinum Amber Chamber of Commerce, the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke Conrad, and the countess "Leonie Conrad".
Young Miles only realized his father's difficulties at this time, and from the faint smile on Leonie's face, it could be seen that Hilton was deliberately embarrassing Felix.
It is rumored that the Grand Duke intends to let his second son take over Platinum Amber, but Leonie, who has been in power for a long time, obviously will not give up easily, and the two factions may have been fighting for a long time, and I don't know how the father mediated between the two factions.
The little episode was stopped by Leonie, and Felix, as if he hadn't seen what had just happened, kindly took Marquis Kelly's wrist and led him to Leonie.
Leonie gently stretched out a hand, and the Marquis knelt on one knee, held his hand in his hand, slowly pressed his forehead to the back of his hand, and whispered far more sincerely than before:
"Long time no see, are you okay, Miss-"
