The light of the setting sun at dusk passed through the clouds, like flowing water, sowing the last afterglow.

The light sprinkled over the magnificent palace and the entire Midtown, and the high white walls stood tall.

Most of the people who can live in Midtown are people with heads and faces, almost not nobles or rich, and for people in Midtown, being able to live here and own their own house is itself a symbol of status and money.

It is the lifelong dream of many ordinary citizens to become a central city, and there is no high wall between the central city and the four urban districts of east, west, north and south, but there is an invisible line that separates them from each other, and the two sides are distinct.

And in the southeast corner of Midtown, a luxurious manor sits quietly.

It was the residence of the eldest prince Sean.

Normally, it is quiet and indifferent, and it is rarely approached by ordinary people. After all, offending the prince is a big crime.

But today, it is full of people and bustling.

At the door of the manor, two waiters in black dresses stood by the door.

In front of them, Candit greeted a steady stream of guests with a smile on his face.

"Welcome, Count Arzi, long time no see, please come in. ”

Behind him, a fat man stepped forward.

Candit's eyes froze, and then the smile on his face grew: "Duke Hyperpoton, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and Your Highness has been thinking about you." ”

"Yes, that's really my honor, Your Highness cares so much about me. ”

Duke Hyperton said with a smile, looking very kind.

As he spoke, his belly was still shaking, even a little funny.

However, no one dared to have the slightest contempt for this man.

Because Duke Hyperpoton is a real star-level magician powerhouse!

Titles can only represent the contributions made by ancestors, and most of the first titles were canonized people who followed the legendary king and contributed to the establishment of the Sirius Empire.

Since then, except for those who have made great contributions in the war with the Akatsuki Empire, few others have almost obtained the title and jumped from the commoner class to the aristocratic class, most of them inheriting the titles of their ancestors.

And the title does not represent strength, after so many generations, many noble families have long been corrupted and degenerate, squandering their status and reputation.

Even if the owner has a supply of resources that ordinary people can't reach, there are indeed many noble children who are greedy for pleasure and neglect to cultivate.

And Count Hyperton made many achievements in the war between the Heavenly Wolf Empire and the Red Moon Empire a few decades ago, although he inherited the title of his ancestors, his prestige can be said to have been killed on the battlefield!

"Why don't you see Duke Poqueno together?

Candit quipped.

Duke Pokinae and Duke Hyperpoton have been playing together since they were children, because the two families have a good relationship, and they even joined the army together when they grew up, so they have a very close relationship, and Duke Pokinau is also a star-level powerhouse.

"Hehe, who knows where that ghost old man went, forget it, don't talk about him, I'll go in first. ”

Duke Hyperpoton said with a smile.

"Please. ”

Candit said respectfully.

At this time, a middle-aged man on crutches handed in an invitation, and a servant supported him.

Candit didn't know him.

I guess it's some wealthy businessman who isn't very famous.

Since there is an invitation, it is a guest, Candit nodded slightly at the other party, and his attitude was much colder than that of the Duke of Highpoton.

There were a lot of people who received invitations from the eldest prince this time, and many of them were invited even if they weren't nobles.

Naturally, he couldn't know them all, after all, Arthur City was too big, and Arthur City never lacked nobles and rich people.

In the distance, a luxurious-looking carriage approached.

Seeing the sign on the car, Candit's expression changed and he hurriedly greeted him.

"Duke Pokino, you're finally here. ”

In this way, a middle-aged merchant on crutches walked in, and a servant in a black dress followed closely, supporting him to the left and right.

Because he was on crutches, all of nature no one cared, his slightly stiff steps.

·······

The guests entered in an orderly manner, acquaintances greeted each other, and some people had already gathered together to talk.

There are also people who shuttle through the crowd, with smiles on their faces, constantly greeting those big shots, hoping to make a good impression in front of each other.

Although the people who can enter here are all characters with heads and faces, there is still a big gap in identity between them.

For some, it's an excellent networking occasion.

"Canditer, are you sure the invitations are getting to everyone?"

Candit said respectfully.

He had already greeted all the heavyweights, and although some late arrivals were still sporadical, those people no longer needed him to go out to receive them personally.

At this moment, he and Sean were standing on the second floor, looking at the noisy guests below.

"Yes, but only two-thirds of the people came. ”

Sean chuckled.

But there was no smile in his eyes.

Just before he was about to accept the inheritance ceremony, just before ascending the throne, he held this huge party, naturally it was impossible to just eat and drink with everyone, chat and enhance feelings.

It's a temptation, but it's also a choice.

At this sensitive time, he, the next emperor of the Sky Wolf Empire, issued an invitation to almost all nobles and wealthy people, and it stands to reason that no one should shirk it at this time and not give him this face.

Unless········

"Looks like those who didn't come are planning to follow Zachary?" Sean sneered, "My brother is really unexpected, I still underestimate him." ”

He was the heir to the throne personally declared by the Iron Emperor, the future ruler of the empire, so how could Zachary allow these people to take a huge risk to follow him?

Sean's fists clenched tightly, even a little purple because of the force.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, at least most people still support Your Highness. ”

Candit said.

"You don't have to comfort me. ”

Sean waved his hand and said lightly.

"Don't look at most of the people who are here, but how many people are there in the group below? They just don't want to go against me openly, how many people really support me completely?"

"Your Highness doesn't have to pay too much attention to them, as long as you are the last one to win, these wavering fellows will naturally immediately offer you their loyalty. ”

Canditt's expression was playful.

"Hmph. Sean's expression calmed slightly, and then he looked at Candit: "Are you worried that I will purge them after I succeed to the throne?" Don't worry, I'm not that crazy person like Zachary, I don't need their loyalty, I just need them to do things for me." ”

At this time, someone hurried over next to him.

"Your Highness, it's your turn. ”
