"What do you want to do?"

"What do you say?"

"I'm not the right fit."

"But in my eyes."

"I hope you won't regret it in the future."

"I hope so, too."

"You ......"

The guests of the banquet tried to leave Joseph and Kate space alone as much as possible, but Kate was actually very dissatisfied with Joseph's approach, which could be detected in her tone.

A V-neck brown evening dress made Kate's figure uneven, and the fiery figure unique to Westerners was undoubtedly revealed on her body, and the dazzling jewelry also made her hot while adding a touch of dignity and gentleness.

Smelling the good smell of her, Joseph wanted to laugh a little, because Kate, who was blocked back by his words, was actually a little cute, which was a very rare feeling.

"Your uncle!"

At this time, Joseph saw the figure of Baron Abt, and wanted to walk over while talking, but he didn't expect his arm to be pulled, and he looked back to see Kate who was a little nervous.

"Joseph, we have a big age difference, do you really want to?"

"Age is not an issue for me."

Smiling slightly, Joseph was about to push Kate away and grab his hand, but what he didn't expect was that Kate didn't let go of his hand but took a deep breath and said, "I promise to marry you." ”

Kindness? looked at Kate with some doubts, but the answer she got was that Kate nodded very seriously.

That's fine, after all, it's a bit aggressive to say this in public, although it is, but Joseph doesn't want to have such a bad reputation.

"Baron Abt, I'm Joseph!"

Although he no longer acted according to plan, greeting was still needed, but Baron Abt was visibly uncomfortable, as the high-ranking nobles at the banquet were watching the two of them both openly or covertly.

"Hello, His Majesty the Grand Duke Joseph."

"Kate and I are going to be engaged in a few days, Uncle Abt doesn't need to be called that."

Nani? Joseph's voice was not small, so the guests who heard this sentence were very surprised, shouldn't it be a drama for Joseph to force Kate to agree to marry into the Duchy of Nord? How to ...... now? That's agreed?

Turning their gaze to Kate, they saw Kate with a nonchalant face, not the slightest resistance, ready to refute or something else, and the guests became more and more puzzled.

Of course, there are all smart people here, and they quickly understood the reason for such a downplay of the treatment, and at the same time they couldn't help but look at Kate with appreciation, this is an excellent woman who understands current affairs and knows how to deal with emotional matters so rationally.

Earl Campbell's already pale face grew paler and paler, and what could strike him more than Kate's lack of the slightest rebuttal? He's like an outsider, a clown.

The Prince of Wales and Princess Diana were equally surprised, but things were still in their expectations, especially Princess Diana, who guessed from the conversation that maybe Kate would choose to deal with it this way in the end.

"Engaged?"

Baron Abt may have been the one who was most surprised, but he soon came to his senses that Joseph's friendship he could not ignore, and that the future depended on Joseph's attitude towards him.

"My godfather, Paul, is in London, and maybe you should meet each other, and I'm sure you should have a lot of common language."

This is a very good thing, although Baron Abt has no idea who Paul is, but hearing the word godfather is enough for him to curry favor with the other party, and it must be an important figure in the Duchy of Nord - Baron Abt guessed.

The banquet that followed was much more uneventful, with the nobles getting together to talk about auctions and politics, and Joseph sat down with the Prince of Wales to talk about the economic problems of England and Nord. Of course, this is all small talk, and there is not much really useful and sensitive stuff.

After dinner, Joseph and Kate strolled through the streets of London, not far from the Nord Guard guards, but unfortunately there were not many pedestrians on the streets, so it was not easy to completely conceal their identities.

"What are you going to do with Campbell?"

"Just a regular friend, I've only known him for a few weeks."

How many weeks? Recall that this was the case, and Kate didn't explicitly reveal anything, so it would be a good idea to downplay it.

"I'm eight years older than you!"

"Wait another four years, and I'll give you a beautiful wedding."

Whether it is beautiful or not, Kate does not doubt it, what she wants is an accurate answer, after all, Kate is twenty-two years old this year, and she can't afford to delay it for too long.

"You can live in the Nord Palace."

"It's not right."

In fact, with Joseph's words, Kate is completely relieved, if she is allowed to choose, she does not like to go to the Nord Palace to live, as she said, it is not right.

"You're handling the family business now?"

Since Kate was unwilling, then Joseph had to change the subject, business is undoubtedly something that Kate is interested in and worth talking about, and the most important thing is that Kate is also interested in it.

"A small part of the core business is just a small part of it, and the rest is still handled by Abt."

"If you become Princess Nord, I wonder if those businesses will be handed over to Abt?"

"If you want me to hate you, then just do it."

Kate understands that if Joseph insists on doing so, then she can only compromise, and this sentence is the only thing that can threaten Joseph, and she also wants to see Joseph's attitude towards her or the status of her heart.

However, Kate did not achieve the answer she wanted, Joseph smiled lightly and did not answer, without saying a word all the way, came to the door of the hotel Joseph gently hugged and turned away.

Joseph's room in Buckingham Palace, the first thing Joseph saw when he came here was the long-awaited Paul, he did not attend the banquet, after all, the British faith is Anglican, and he, a Christian bishop, is not suitable for such an occasion. Of course, the Prince of Wales also made an invitation, but Paul declined.

"I already know about the banquet, what are you going to do with Abt?"

It's okay not to mention Abt, but Joseph has a headache when he mentions him, and now Joseph really doesn't know how to face Abt, after all, he secretly promised to give him some benefits during the banquet. But now...... He didn't expect Kate to hate his uncle to such an extent.
