"Dietrich. Fei Wenli. The young man bowed gracefully.

"It turned out to be the Second Highness."

Hathaway smiled slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness, for inviting Hathaway to such a grand event." ”

"Hehe, it should be that I am flattered, Count Bell is the most difficult person to invite in the capital, and it is a real honor for me to be able to invite him." Dietrich. Fei Wenlie laughed.

Hathaway shook her head: "That's a rumor, I'm obsessed with magic tests, I don't leave home, if it weren't for the imminent trip, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come out today." ”

Some things have to be explained, and it's bad to be considered arrogant...... Of course, this explanation is also skillful, and she can't just catch someone and say it, so she took this opportunity to spread it from the mouth of the second prince, unless it was intentionally aimed at her, others could tacitly say it.

Dietrich. Fei Wenlie naturally wouldn't show favor to her plainly, but Hathaway was a little curious, what would the second in line to the imperial throne show favor to her?

Count of the Cordillera, this title does have its appeal. However, Hathaway's age and background determine that she will not have much say in the Cordillera Plateau for a long time, and it is not easy to be able to stand firm there, so those nobles gave up their curiosity about her after a little temptation, but at this time, the second prince threw an olive branch, so Hathaway also felt strange.

"Come with me, Count Bell, and I have the honor to introduce you to my friends." Dietrich. Fei Wenlie is personable and authentic.

Hathaway nodded slightly, signaling that the bodyguards and maids behind him did not have to follow...... Friends of the second prince. Naturally, it was the nobles who supported him, and Hathaway was very interested in knowing what they needed and what they would choose for him.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries as they came to a building...... The building was quiet, and although it looked simple on the surface, Hathaway could sense that someone was guarding her in the dark. The second prince seemed to be very laid-back, he walked and stopped, and from time to time he introduced Hathaway to the portraits on the walls on both sides of the corridor...... These portraits are basically famous figures since the founding of the Ostiga Empire, and Hathaway was confused when she heard it, but nodded slightly from time to time. Showing infinite admiration.

The two of them went all the way to the third floor. After Hathaway's head was filled with nearly a hundred names that had long since become old in the grave, the second prince finally stopped outside a door.

"Please come in." Dietrich. Fei Wenlie opened the door graciously and invited her in.

Hathaway entered the room, which was considered a living room, and saw that there were three other young men in the room. After seeing them come in. They all stood up.

"Friends. I'm sure everyone already knows the identity of this guest, but allow me to solemnly introduce that this is Hathaway. Countess Bell. Lord of the Cordillera Plateau. ”

All three young men bowed slightly to Hathaway, but she could tell that the young man on the far left was very reluctant, and even his expression was a little unfriendly.

"Countess Bell, allow me to introduce you, this is Chania. Baron Lusau, whose father was Deputy Minister of the Imperial Treasury; This is Ralph. Baron Owen, whose father was Minister of Revenue; And this one, Parvi from the province of Cambuur. Baron Bisser, his family has a very good fleet. ”

"Good afternoon, everyone, I have come here at the invitation of His Royal Highness, and I am honored to meet you." Hathaway greeted with a smile.

It is said that the main supporters of the eldest prince are the military, while the main supporters of the second prince are from the civilian line. The families of these three people are all well-known and wealthy, and with Hathaway's current identity, it is naturally difficult to attract the other party's head of the family to show up, presumably these three people are also the leaders of the younger generation in the family, and they were sent to contact Hathaway, in their opinion, it is already quite face-saving for Hathaway.

During her time at Hughes's house, Hathaway wasn't immersed in penance or thinking about how to make money, Sullivan. Hughes had lived in Heidelberg for many years and was a businessman, so he was quite familiar with some of the dynamics of high society, and often introduced them to Hathaway. The family represented by these three young men in front of him did have a lot of power to influence the empire's economy. Although the three young men in front of them did not hold as much power in the empire as their fathers, the second prince Dietrich. Under Fei Wenlie's arrangement, Hathaway knew very well what their appearance meant.

After a polite greeting, the four of them all sat down, and the one sitting on the main seat was naturally the second prince Dietrich. Fei Wenlie, his status is the highest, followed by Hathaway, although she is the youngest, but her title is higher than the other three, so she sits on the right hand side of the second prince, and the other three sit down in turn, they are all observing Hathaway, or curious, or scrutinizing, or reserved, in addition to the title, the three people also have some positions, so sitting there is quite an aura, each of them is not easy to deal with, and those who rely on the power of the family to do mischief, very different.

"Don't be surprised, these are some of my best friends, and the main reason why I didn't introduce you to the other guests was because it wasn't necessary. I don't think His Excellency the Earl will be interested in those who only fantasize and only pursue the pleasures of life. "Dietrich. Fei Wenlie said.

Hathaway immediately understood the meaning of the second prince's words, those people outside were either not from his circle, or they were not very important...... Of course, the greater possibility is that it has nothing to do with today's events. But his words undoubtedly elevated the status of Hathaway and the three people present, and this means of winning people's hearts is no less than that of His Majesty the Emperor.

At this moment, Hathaway was sure that the second prince had something to discuss with him, because although her title was higher than that of the three people here, compared to their family, she was now just a nominal and young earl, so there was no need to pay so much attention to it...... Despite this, Hathaway didn't think that she should keep her voice down, since the other party met her in this situation, it showed that she had the confidence.

"Your Highness, I believe that you did not invite me here for the sake of greetings, and if you can get straight to the point, I think it will save a lot of time."

The second prince and the others seem to have considered the situation inconsiderately, and it is obvious that they have not planned to get into the main topic yet. They exchanged glances, and while Hathaway didn't know what the specific information was going on, she knew they were weighing.

Dietrich. Fei Wenli did not speak, and it was Chania who spoke first. Baron Lusau.

"Count, our prudence may not be incomprehensible to you, but please believe that many lives are at stake."

"Baron Lusau, life is the most precious, and this is not a trivial matter. But I wonder if it would be better at this time if there was a delicious meal to accompany our conversation? What do you say, Your Highness? Hathaway was trying to take the initiative as much as she could, and she had mastered the direction and rhythm of the conversation.

"Of course, the meals at Zilan Castle are definitely top-notch cuisine!"

Dietrich. A smile appeared on Fei Wenlie's face, his palms slapped slightly, and soon a waiter brought the food, and the delicate and huge plate was covered with an oval silver cover. When I lifted the cover, I saw the main course inside. It was a suckling pig roasted to a soft golden brown, and Hathaway knew that the piglet must have all kinds of vegetables stuffed in its belly.

Then the waiters laid down a delicate table in front of their seats, and they put a sliced roast and some side dishes on each adult's plate.

A waiter showed the second prince a fine glass wine bottle, and the rules of the aristocratic table were like this, and only the most honorable person could decide which wine to use.

Hathaway put the wine in the back of the throat to taste slowly, it is an aged manscu wine, this wine is not very high in alcohol, very suitable for ladies, and this wine can play a role in relieving fatigue and improving digestion, it is undoubtedly a good choice for aristocrats who are accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Chania. Baron Lusso could only be described as having no taste for food at this time, and he believed that his friends were the same. He was really a little anxious just now, although he didn't know much about Hathaway, but if the news he got was true, the girl in front of him at least had the potential to cooperate. And judging from her performance just now, the young countess had an insight into their intentions, which showed that at least her mind was very useful, and that dealing with wise people had always been time-saving and labor-saving.

The baron couldn't help but put down the knife and fork in his hand when he thought of this, he really didn't have the heart to eat...... As an investor, if you determine the value of the object you are investing in before investing, it may be too late.

Chania. Baron Lusso coughed softly, and the attention of all the people in the room was on him, and the waiter who was waiting for him to stand by the door had already retreated.

"Dear Count Bell, I heard that you have newly researched a recreational alchemy product called magic fireworks, I would like to ask, do you have complete autonomy over this magic fireworks?"

Hathaway somewhat understood, she had already known that after the magic fireworks were on the market, it would be impossible not to attract the attention of those who cared about it, even if Hamilton. Burgegen has a backstage, and it is inconvenient for others to fight his idea, but it is completely possible to find her here. Moreover, this kind of huge profit, even Hamilton. The backstage of Burgegen will also be red-eyed.

"Yes, I have full rights to these magic fireworks. His Excellency the Baron is really well-informed. Hathaway said lightly.

"Please don't blame Mr. Burzhgen,"

Chania. Lusso smiled and said, "He's at my service." ”

"I understand."

Hathaway nodded: "My cooperation with Mr. Burgegen is still very pleasant. (To be continued......)
