Royal Palace Banquet Hall.

The court band was already playing a joyful and peaceful music, the court dance troupe was dancing to cheer up the dinner, and the invited ministers and their families were also dancing, a joyous scene.

A total of ten people from the Fallen Star City envoy group were led by Anderson to the banquet hall, the envoys were all dressed in costumes, but many women's eyes were focused on a young man.

"Wow, you're so handsome, what's your name?"

A noble woman asked directly, with a look of anticipation in her eyes, and the other women on the side also looked at the young man expectantly.

The young man just smiled slightly, and said politely: "Honorable young lady, my name is Arnold, you can call me by my name!"

"Ah, Brother Arnold, you are so handsome!" The woman touched her chest with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, very shy.

Another woman asked, "Brother Arnold, are you married?"

"Brother Arnold, I want to marry you, okay?"

"I just want to marry Brother Arnold, you go aside!"

“......”

Arnold's face was indifferent, but he didn't seem to want to answer the sensitive topics of these men and women, but being surrounded by a group of women, surrounded by fat powder, made him feel suffocated, and his face turned red unconsciously, looking more delicate.

Suddenly, a voice came, "Since the envoy of Falling Star City has arrived, let's take a seat!"

Only then did everyone look at it, only to see Mars, dressed in black gifts, accompanied by Frank and other important ministers, come to the banquet hall, and immediately salute one by one.

The dance troupe withdrew, and the dancers stopped, and they all came to their respective banquet tables and sat down, looking at Mars.

Mars smiled slightly and said, "The main purpose of today's dinner is to welcome the arrival of the envoy group represented by Earl Frende in Falling Star City, then, please raise your glass and toast to the friendship between Sunset City and Falling Star City!"

"Cheers!"

A "Cheers" resounded through the banquet hall, and the banquet began.

Mars was at the same table with the envoys, and he looked at the young man who was not talking beautifully, and his heart was even more shocked, and he asked in his heart, "Sally, is that you?"

Earl Frende was a sleek man, and before Anderson had even introduced the guests who were seated in Sunset City, he began to introduce the messengers of Fallen Star City.

And Mars also remembered the young man's name, "Arnaud"!

The banquet unfolded in a peaceful atmosphere, with soothing music and everyone talking about their own topics, but most of the nobles were talking about Sunset City's new policy.

The Earl of Frende, apparently also interested in the New Deal, asked, "Your Majesty, why do you want to make the change?"

Mars smiled faintly and said: "In fact, you can guess this question, you should know what Sunset City was like a few months ago, poor, backward, the people are hungry, Sunset City can be said to be in danger, since I inherited the throne, I dare not slack off, let alone cower, so I have to make major changes." ”

"Your Majesty, you are worthy of being the most far-sighted king of Sunset City for thousands of years, and I pay my respects with this wine!" said Earl Flonde.

With that, he raised his glass and drank it all.

Mars just raised his glass and tasted it, although wine was a beautiful thing, it was not for him, and he needed to keep a clear head at all times, so that even the most mellow wine was of little interest to him.

Mars glanced at Arnold, his mind moved, and said, "You can ask me any questions you have, but I hope you have fun tonight." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" said Earl Frende at once.

Arnold's body moved slightly, stood up, and asked, "Your Majesty, as the youngest king in the history of Sunset City, you can be described as full of spirit, have you ever thought about expanding the land outward?"

The question was sharp, and the ministers stopped laughing and looked at the young messenger, and fine beads of sweat broke out on Flender's forehead.

Mars paused slightly, and smiled: "Ah, I'm sorry, I really haven't thought about this, but I can tell you that Sunset City is already big enough to hold my ambitions." ”

Arnold nodded disapprovingly, and said, "I see, then I don't know what His Majesty Quinn's ambition is, is it to make Sunset City a second Angela, or is it to collect three thousand beauties to be in this palace and enjoy it?"

"This ......"

The ministers who sat with him couldn't help but exclaim, this young man was so bold to ask His Majesty such a sharp question, didn't he want to live?

But Mars's heart was beating wildly, and he seemed to remember the moment when he and Sally talked about their dreams in the hut in Angela's royal capital.

At that time, Sally asked Mars, "Mars, what is your dream?"

Mars asked rhetorically, "Sally, what are your dreams?"

But Sally didn't answer, grabbed Mars's ear and said, "I asked you, you say it first!"

Mars threw the pain, teary eyes, and said, "Sally, in fact, I just want to be with you, the kind that will be with you forever!"

Sally feigned anger and said, "Nonsense, do you want to be a king, and then take three thousand beautiful women in the palace to have a good time?"

Mars immediately defended: "No, Sally, do you want to be the queen and then take three thousand male pets?"

"Mars, you bastard! If you say that again, I'll ignore you!" Sally blushed, but one hand twisted Mars's ear harder.

......

Coming back to his senses, Mars smiled, "Actually, I really want to do this, but it's just ...... Hehe, this is my secret, dreams or something, ambitions or something, but it's all secrets!"

Arnold's face flushed, and he raised his glass to Mars as he raised his glass to Mars, not knowing if he was ashamed of his problems.

The surrounding ministers were relieved, after all, it was taboo to ask a king directly about ambition or something, but Mars didn't seem to care.

The crisis was lifted, and the banquet continued, but the next questions were all about the new policy, and many ministers were able to answer these questions.

After three rounds of drinking, the music turns into dance music, which is to inform the guests that it is time to dance.

The guests immediately found a dance partner and began dancing, an aristocratic ballroom dance that the nobles had to learn to communicate.

But Mars didn't, in fact he hated this kind of dance, and in Angela this dance left a shadow on him.

Mars excused himself for convenience, and immediately left the banquet hall, with no guards by his side.

Winter had arrived, and the nights on the Olgaard Plateau had become very cold, but as a mid-level magician, this cold could still be resisted.

However, time flies so fast that Mars feels that he has no extra time to think, to think about his past, to think about his future, he can only be like a running carriage, he has to keep moving forward.

Suddenly, Mars heard footsteps behind him, and then turned around to see that it was Arnold, a member of the Falling Star City Emissary Regiment.

"Arno?" Mars asked.
