Buckingham Palace

The English nobles were chatting back and forth, and it was the Prince of Wales who was sitting with Joseph, not that the Empress looked down on the Duchy of Nord or for any other reason, but that she was a little uncomfortable today.

The banquet begins with an appearance by the Empress, mainly to express her apologies to Joseph and to entrust the Prince of Wales with a good reception for Joseph.

"Don't worry! No big deal! ”

Joseph's reassurance made the Prince of Wales smile, and no one expected that he would suddenly become unwell in the morning, but there was really nothing to worry about, and the doctor had already said that there was no danger to life.

"Archduke Joseph, I am ......"

"Count Campbell, right, I know you."

Looking at the handsome Earl who suddenly came over, Joseph knew who he was as soon as he saw the appearance of the Prince of Wales, so he directly interrupted him before introducing himself.

The Prince of Wales didn't want to see Campbell so unreasonable, so he took the initiative to warn: "Campbell, I think you should honor Archduke Joseph as Your Majesty." ”

"I'm sorry, His Majesty the Grand Duke Joseph!"

Joseph never cared about such a false courtesy, waved his hand to signal that Campbell didn't need to do this, and replied, "I wonder what happened to Earl Campbell?" ”

"I just heard that His Majesty the Grand Duke is here, and I came to get acquainted."

The meaning of Campbell's coming is obvious, he is much better informed than the others, this time Joseph is not a good person who comes, the good person does not come, the royal family can give him very little help, everything can only rely on himself.

"You know Kate, I guess she talks about me a lot!"

"I'm sorry Your Majesty, maybe Marquis Kate didn't talk about you, and I only learned today that there is a Duchy of Nord in western France."

This sentence is very hurtful, but Joseph smiled coldly in his heart and did not get angry, if the other party is just doing this, then Joseph will look down on him very much. In fact, not only Joseph but also the Prince of Wales also felt that this sentence was inappropriate, the Principality of Nord has begun to be famous in the world over time, and in terms of popularity in Europe, perhaps the Principality of Nord is only ranked behind Britain, France, Italy and Spain.

Of course, with the development of the LAN, the reputation of the Principality of Nord will become greater and greater in the future, after all, the Principality of Nord is the founder of the LAN and one of the sanctions committees.

"Joseph?"

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from behind Joseph, and he turned around to see a beautiful blonde standing there - not Kate or who?

Of course, Kate is not alone, there is a beautiful young woman next to her, this lady Joseph is not a stranger, and some news and newspapers in later generations often appear about her, Princess Diana, the first wife of Wales.

In fact, Kate was also very surprised, as soon as she came to the banquet, Princess Diana took the initiative to lean over, and after a casual conversation, Kate was sure that it would not be Earl Campbell who caused her to be invited, because he did not have this influence. Looking back, Joseph was the only one who had this ability.

"Long time no see, Kate."

Smiling Joseph greeted Kate, but Count Campbell on the side did not look very good, because he saw Princess Diana next to Kate, does this represent the will of the royal family?

"yes, long time no see, Earl Campbell is here?"

Kate was a little surprised, and at the same time she was aware of the embarrassment, as if she ...... As if it wasn't time that came by himself, if either of the two asked him something, how would he answer?

"Count Campbell likes you, so he wants to ask me more about you, right?"

This sentence is more insidious, the answer is that he is not as familiar as Joseph and Kate, he is like an outsider, and if he denies it, Kate will lose his favor with him, after all, this is a good opportunity to change the topic, how to choose is self-evident.

"Yes, I think I might be able to get a little more about you from Joseph."

This sentence is more or less gnashing of teeth, but Earl Campbell must also say that he, unlike Joseph, may have the only advantage that comes from Kate's favor.

"Baron Abt is not here?"

Joseph suddenly asked Kate's uncle, which made Kate, the Prince of Wales, Princess Diana and others a little puzzled, and they didn't know what he had to do with this time.

"Baron Abt is a bit busy with things and therefore did not accept the invitation to the banquet, but I think Baron Abt will gladly go if he learns that Joseph you mentioned him."

The Prince of Wales naturally can't say that Baron Abt is not qualified, in fact, everyone knows this, but Joseph just needs a reason, he won't ask too much about the specific situation, otherwise it will be a provocation.

"If you can, arrange for a car to pick up Baron Abt! I think I have something to announce. ”

So straightforward? The first thing the Prince of Wales and Diana thought of was to propose, although Joseph was not yet old, but the engagement was already possible, and Baron Abt was Kate's uncle, so it was natural to be present to witness.

Kate was a little overwhelmed, and Earl Campbell was a little pale, because he understood that once Joseph spoke up in public, Kate had little power to refuse, unless she risked the family's decline.

The Prince of Wales could not refuse Joseph's small requests, so he beckoned a waiter, and an invitation was quickly passed to Baron Abt in the hotel.

"Let me go to the banquet too?"

"The Nord Grand Convention Cerf himself asked for your presence."

The waiter didn't know what politeness was, and he spoke directly about what happened, and Baron Abt, who was a little hesitant and clever, understood what was about to happen at the banquet.

His mood was the same as that of Count Campbell, his face was a little pale and heavy, Kate was better off being Countess Campbell, and if it was Princess Nord, then he was ......

Of course, he can't go if he doesn't go, but now Joseph asked him to go, maybe Joseph will help him open his mouth when Kate wants to do something in the future, if he doesn't go, the result will be unimaginable.

Leaving the hotel in a hurry, when Baron Abt went to Buckingham Palace, although the banquet was still lively, everyone had their own thoughts, apprehension, unease, anticipation, and excitement abounded.

"I think Nord is about to have a hostess."

"Duke Linton, I don't think we can understand this without you saying it."

"Are you so dismissive of Earl Campbell?"

The young nobleman's words made the two old dukes smile at each other, if Kate also had such a naïve idea, then Count Campbell might still have a chance, but it was clear - Kate was a smart, sensible woman.
