The one who said this was none other than the second prince. Collie Fu hurriedly bowed and said with a smile on his face: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I didn't expect you to come out to greet you in person, it's really a shame for the little brother." ”

"What are you talking about?" The second prince stepped forward, grabbed Clifford's hand with one hand, pinched the beard at the corner of his mouth with the other, and said with a smile: "You are now a popular person next to my father, known as the first strategist of our Rhine Kingdom, I have a lot of questions to ask you." ”

After that, he squinted his eyes and caught a glimpse of Arya behind Clifford, and an indescribable smile instantly appeared in the corner of his eyes, and he looked at Clifford with a silver face and said, "Brother, this maid I gave you is not bad." ”

"Hahaha!" The two veteran drivers immediately laughed.

Alia, who was standing behind Clifford, naturally knew what they were talking about, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she lowered her head, pretending not to hear.

The second prince pulled Collifford into the mansion and said loudly: "Our distinguished guest, Earl Clifford, is here, the ball has officially begun, please proceed!" ”

"Oh! Thank you, Second Prince! The ballroom was suddenly thunderous, all kinds of musical instruments began to play each other, and the invited high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen and their female companions hugged each other and danced to the sound of beautiful music.

"Beautiful lady, may I have the pleasure of asking you to do a dance?" A middle-aged man with a big belly walked up to Arya, bent down slightly, and stretched out his hand to speak. It's just that his belly is too big, and this bending over looks very difficult and funny, and if he doesn't cultivate it well, I'm afraid he will laugh out loud on the spot.

Arya is a well-cultured woman, although she is very disgusted with men of this size, but just from the person's dress, it can be seen that he is a person of great status, in order not to cause trouble for the master, she still smiled slightly and stretched out her hand, "Of course you can." ”

Immediately, the beautiful woman Arya was dragged to the middle of the dance floor by the pig-like man to dance.

"Tsk." The second prince frowned and shook his head, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I'm sorry, Clifford, this is not my plan. ”

Clifford smiled slightly, and said, "Don't be like this, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, anything can happen at the ball, maybe I will dance with a princess in a while." After saying that, I thought of Angela again, but after thinking about it carefully, as the daughter of the eldest prince, she should not appear on this occasion.

"Then I wish you a dream come true, man." The second prince smiled and patted Clifford on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, are you interested in going over there for a drink?" ”

"Oh, of course. That's my pleasure. Clifford took two glasses of wine from the waiter in the field, handed one to the second prince, and smiled slightly.

The two of them found a secluded corner and sat down, and the second prince raised his glass to Cleford, then smiled bitterly and said with an unbelievable expression: "Brother Clifford, I really didn't expect you to come up with such a grand and perfect plan. Tell me the truth, how did you hide so deeply before? With that, he stared at Clifford with a smile on his face, as if what he had just said was a joke.

"Hahaha." Clifford smiled heartily, cocked Erlang's legs very casually, put the wine glass aside, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, don't tease me, where is the opportunity for me to show my appearance before?" If it weren't for my teacher Taylor Ken who patiently listened to me a few more words this time, I'm afraid these words would still rot in my stomach. ”

The second prince smiled meaningfully, very similar to the gangster boss in the Hong Kong film, his eyes flashed with this different light, looked at Clifford, and said: "Now the situation is getting more and more complicated, everyone wants to gain more power in the New Deal reform, there is no fuel-efficient lamp, in this situation, what do you think I should do?" ”

Before Cleifer could speak, the second prince smiled slightly and tapped Cleford with his finger and said, "I want to listen to the truth." ”

Collie Fu showed a helpless but knowing smile like Tony Leung, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, thank you for your uplift." I did think about your future, but I don't say here, there are too many people here, and I guess we might as well wait until after the ball is over to talk about that. I think we should have a good time for a while, you see my girlfriends have been snatched away. ”

"Hehehe." The second prince crossed Erlang's legs, covered his mouth with his hand and smiled: "Okay, Clifford." You can go and have fun to your heart's content, and there are really a few good ladies here today, so why don't you introduce them to you, and make sure they are no worse than your female companions. ”

"If that's the case, that's great." Clifford stood up, bowed lightly to the second prince, and said, "Your Royal Highness the second prince, you are my Cupid." ”

"Hahahaha." The second prince was coaxed into laughter by Clifford again, stood up, pointed at him with his finger and said, "You, you, when did you become so flamboyant, not at all like the honest tenth brother before me. ”

After listening to this, Collie "chuckled" in his heart, his secret should not be discovered by him, if it was discovered, according to the concept of people of this era, he would definitely be tied to the stake and roasted to death, he laughed a little, did not speak, and under the guidance of the second prince, he picked a few female companions and danced a few dances, the second prince did not lie to him, these girls or young women are all of the highest quality, and they danced a few dances, and their bodies and minds were relaxed.

At the end of the ball, Arya curtsey and saw off his last partner, then ran to Clifford's side, put her arm around him, and laughed coquettishly, "Master, are you having fun?" ”

"Of course." Clifford wiped the sweat from her forehead and said softly, "I'm going to attend the salon held by the second prince later, so go and wash up." ”

"Yes, my master." Arya bowed her head to Clifford and said softly.

Looking at her back as she jumped away, a trace of complexity passed through Clifford's heart, she could feel that Arya was sincere to herself this time, but Clifford still couldn't fully accept her, after all, she had done things that were not good for her before.

This is not a cautious eye, but the most basic sense of self-preservation, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart: Arya can be used, but he must not be trusted.

Arya went to the bathroom in a good mood to pluck herself, and was about to go out when she suddenly saw an old woman in her fifties blocking the door, staring at her with extremely gloomy eyes.
