December 30, 189, the last day of 189.

This day is one destined to go down in history. Many people in the city of Isis thought so, because there are so many things that this day can represent. So many historians in later generations have to write about this day when they talk about the history of that year.

Magnificent carriages drove through the tall gates of Isis into the city, and finally entered the Venus Manor of Allen under the guidance of the squires.

As early as a month ago, Allen had notified the nobles of all parties in advance to come and watch the ceremony.

A white-gold-toned, extravagant carriage with irise-de-lis motifs slowly stopped in front of the Venus Manor, escorted by hundreds.

Alan took two quick steps to the door of the carriage.

The carriages opened, and Gloria was dressed in a splendid court gown, covered with an extravagant silver fox robe, and the crown on her head shone in the sun. Alan stretched out his hand, gently held Gloria's hand, and guided Gloria out of the carriage.

"Lord Duke, I haven't seen you for a few months, but Lord Duke's demeanor is still the same." Gloria smiled softly, graceful and solemn. This smile alone fully expresses Gloria's progress and has the basic qualities of a mature politician.

Of course, for Allen, that's nothing. Alan bowed slightly and said: "Her Majesty the Queen has praised you, you are the peerless of grace, and it is an honor for my little Isis to be able to get your presence." ”

Without waiting for Gloria to reply, a figure stepped forward, grabbed the conversation and said, "Lord Duke, I think we'd better go in first." After all, the weather is cold, and Her Majesty the Queen can't be frozen. ”

Allen's eyes turned to the words and he found that it was Baron Faisal of the Falao family. Although Faisal rudely interrupted the conversation, Alan was not annoyed, nodded, and made a gesture to Gloria to invite in.

"Lord Faisal, how can you be so rude to the Duke?" Gloria reprimanded softly, then turned to look at Alan apologetically. "Please also ask the Duke to forgive him for his rudeness."

Alan smiled and said, "Her Majesty is serious, and Baron Faisal is also worried about your body. Caring for Her Majesty the Queen is also what you should do. Your Majesty, please come in. ”

Gloria smiled and nodded, taking the lead first. And Faisal was one step ahead of Allen. When he passed by Allen, he snorted lightly.

For such childish behavior, Alan laughed dumbly. The third followed in Gloria's footsteps. Behind them was a group of Ambrosia nobles who came with Gloria. For them, Alan is too lazy to deal with them at all.

The fire in the fireplace didn't burn very intensely, but it provided plenty of heat. In the main hall, Gloria sat on the top seat, Faisal stood respectfully behind Gloria, like a loyal knight, and then flanked by the accompanying noble officials.

"Your Majesty!" Just as Gloria was seated, a chorus came from the door.

Everyone looked at it, and there were four people in total. Take a closer look, the gorgeous court costumes, the unique family coat of arms. Everyone immediately understood that the four nobles of An Muxi had arrived.

Duke Bashir looked to have a lot more gray hair on his head, and the wrinkles on his face were a little deeper. He stepped forward respectfully, bent down and saluted, "We have not been able to greet Her Majesty, and I ask Her Majesty to forgive me." ”

Gloria hurriedly got up, walked down the steps and grabbed Duke Bashir's hands and said: "Lord Duke is serious, several Duke lords are the pillars of the kingdom, and they have just taken care of the affairs of the regent, and there are still many places to trouble a few dukes in the future. ”

Duke Lawrence smiled and said, "Her Majesty the Queen is magnanimous, which is really a blessing for me." In fact, it's no wonder that I waited, who called the Duke of Ouranos did not inform us of His Majesty's arrival, and by the time we knew, it was already late. ”

The Duke of Manuel on the side agreed: "Indeed, Lord Ouranos deserves to be punished. ”

Seeing Gloria's gaze, Alan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is not right, I sent someone to inform you early in the morning, obviously you yourself were too obsessed to miss it." How can you blame me? ”

"Oh? What's going on? Gloria asked curiously, "What else could make a few dukes so out of shape?" ”

Speaking of this, the three of Bashir were a little embarrassed, and finally Duke Lawrence spoke: "Actually, we were visiting the military camp of Lord Ouranos at that time. I have to say that Lord Ouranos is indeed young and promising. ”

Seeing Bashir acquiesce and Manuel nodded in agreement, Gloria became more and more curious. She had also seen Allen's soldiers. That kind of strong cohesion is also what she remembers the most.

But before she could ask, Alan spoke.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be curious, please wait a moment and explain your doubts in detail below."

Hearing that Alan agreed, Gloria stopped asking. However, Faisal behind him obviously has a deep prejudice against Allen, and he just made a rude move as soon as they met, and now when he heard Allen's words, he couldn't suppress the hostility in his heart, and mocked: "Does the Duke still want to sell a pass?" If there is no one who can get it at that time, it will be a felony to deceive His Majesty. Can you afford it? ”

For Faisal's naked ridicule, Alan can't even be reluctant to deal with him, after all, although he is not willing to bully the small with the big now, as a big nobleman, his dignity cannot be desecrated.

Allen sank his face and followed Allen all the time, and Leona, who was now temporarily playing as Allen's captain of the guard, snorted.

This heavy snort sounded like Leonardo expressing dissatisfaction, but when it reached Faisal's ears, it was like a beating in the brain, and he was groggy all of a sudden. The next moment, Leonardo's figure moved, quickly passed through the crowd, grabbed Faisal's arm, and twisted back.

Faisal, who felt the pain, instantly arched his body. When he regained consciousness and found that he was restrained by Leonardo in public, he was suddenly embarrassed and ashamed. A snow-white little white face suddenly flushed with shame. He wanted to struggle, but his force value was a notch lower than Leonardo's, so he could only twist his body a few times in embarrassment. When Leonardo exerted a little force, he would be unable to move immediately.

"Wait!" That's when Gloria spoke up. In fact, as early as the moment Faisal exited, Gloria knew that something bad was going to happen. Gloria knew a thing or two about Faisal's psychology. Faisal likes himself, so he likes to express himself on other occasions as well. However, Faisal's obvious hostility towards Alan still made her wonder.

And the only one who knows this truth is Faisal himself. Gloria, who met again, was more independent and charming than she was back then. Originally, Faisal was still in love with his childhood sweetheart, but after living in An Muxi for a while, he evolved into an obsession.

In the same way, he sees himself as the closest and most helpful person to Gloria in Ambrosi. However, although Gloria behaved well, he found that Gloria was never able to trust himself to the fullest. Even if he spent countless energy for Gloria to control Ambrosi, and even offended many nobles.

And his observation, that is, compared to himself, the first thing that Gloria thought of was the Duke of Ouranos. Whenever Gloria encounters a problem, she is always unconsciously imitating Ouranos' actions and his way of thinking.

Faisal couldn't tolerate his sweetheart caring so much about another man. So he hated Alan at that time. He decided to defeat Ouranos and make Gloria understand that the Duke of Ouranos was nothing more than a piece of waste, and that he was the one he could really rely on.

Alan raised his hand, and Leonardo understood and let go of Faisal. The liberated Faisal angrily roared at Allen: "Ouranos, I want to propose a duel to you!" ”

However, before the words were finished, a loud slap broke Faisal's heart.

"Lord Duke, I would like to apologize to you for Faisal's rudeness. Baron Faisal was tired from the journey and in a bad mental state, which is why he came to this. So please allow him to take a break. Gloria bowed her head and walked slightly into the court.

Alan glanced at Faisal coldly, turned his head to Gloria casually and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be like this, since Baron Faisal is sick, I don't blame him." After Allen finished speaking, he said to Leonardo: "Take Baron Faisal to have a good rest, don't let people disturb you." ”

"Yes, Lord Duke." Leonardo agreed. Then he took Faisal's arm with one hand and led Faisal out of the hall with half a push and half a support.

As for Faisal, he didn't resist at all, he was still immersed in Gloria's slap. He couldn't figure out how Gloria would slap himself for Ouranos.

Faisal was taken down, and none of those present came out to oppose it. First, Faisal's behavior was indeed a violation of the rules of the aristocracy. Second, Faisal's popularity is very poor, even if many people present don't like Allen, but they are not willing to come out for Faisal.

As if to ease the slightly tense atmosphere, Duke Lawrence touched the goatee on his chin and said with a smile: "Ouranos, you are doing a good job, it seems that you are also a good duke." ”

Alan, who had been praised by Duke Lawrence, laughed, as if he had forgotten all the previous unhappiness. "It's a long way from Uncle Lawrence."

The atmosphere was reactivated, and the same drinking party was held. The servants, under Sebastian's command, quickly set up the hall with food. The nobles were talking to each other in three or two, and in communication.

"Lord Duke, I haven't seen you for so long, and you are still so unfathomable." Manuel said as he walked over to Allen's side.

Alan looked at Manuel slightly, compared to before, Manuel now has more loneliness that can only be found in Bashir. This was something that Manuel didn't have when he first arrived, and this change couldn't help but make Alan curious.

"Your Excellency Manuel is humble, it seems to me that you are much better than me."

Allen's compliment didn't make Manuel happy, but rather made his face a little sadder.

"Maybe before I came to Isis, I could have hoped for that again. But when I saw your mighty army, I realized the gap between me and you. Manuel looked at Allen's eyes full of admiration.

"You may think I'm complimenting you, but I'm telling the truth. You were able to help Ammuxi turn defeat into victory in the battle against Moslian, and it was certainly not fiction. I didn't believe it at first. Now I believe it. For I have never seen an army so disciplined and well-trained as you. (To be continued.) )
