There is no doubt that Locke is the protagonist of this banquet. The aristocrats wanted to come to the future King of Lordaeron to brush his face and lay a solid foundation for future cooperation.

But it also makes Locke cope...

Finally sent away another wave of Kurtilas aristocrats, Locke hadn't caught his breath, a fat woman with a chest of 36F and a waist circumference of about 3 feet, she wore thick purple eyeshadow, smiled and walked towards her with a wine glass... Although she is fat, no, she is not called fat, she is very tall, basically the same as Locke. It's not very fat, it just looks strong... This is the first time Locke has used this adjective as a metaphor for women.

Not! Locke knew who she was the first time!

Duchess of Plasis of House Esfan...

"Hello, Lord Harvey. Today is a great day to behold, and the Ashfan family would like to thank you for your hospitality. When the fat woman stood beside Locke, the nobles who wanted to come and say hello to Locke turned away from him.

She just stood beside Locke, casually looking around with contempt, and the others silently withdrew their gazes.

This woman's aura is very strong...

"Ha, you're welcome, madam." Locke snorted and said with a smile, "I hope Eva's hospitality will make you feel at home." ”

"It's more than just being at home!" The duchess giggled and spoke in a rough voice, like a boatman who had lived on a ship for many years. She put the wine glass in her right hand to her left hand, and even wanted to take the opportunity to pat Locke's shoulder, or put her arm around Locke's shoulder and pull them together to whisper!! But perhaps thinking of Locke's identity, his right hand turned into a necklace around his neck on the way to Locke's right shoulder...

"I'm glad to see you. Although now is not the time to talk about business, I would like to say that Ashfan Trading and your Lordaeron have a lot to talk about in the future! Aspects! The Duchess quickly calmed herself down, and she looked at Locke carefully, "Tsk, what a young man! If I had a female heiress, I would want her to marry you! ”

"Or if I'm a few years younger, I'll definitely think about something to happen to the adults...."The Duchess was quite bold, and she even leaned over and leaned on Locke's shoulder to lie on the words in his ear.

The salty smell of the sea, mixed with the smell of an unknown perfume, filled her body, swarming into Locke's nostrils... Locke hurriedly scratched his cheek in a pretended manner, took two steps to the side slightly, left her ambiguous movements, and put the cup on the table beside him.

Hehe...

After doing all this, Locke smiled awkwardly, is it good or bad to be favored by such a woman...

"Look at your lordship," said the Duchess, who took two steps forward and stood side by side with Locke, pointing to all the noblewomen and ladies gathered around Calia, as if she were going to clink glasses with Locke. "Look at that, the woman whose face is wrinkled like the bark, yes, that's her. She's Meredith! Meredith Vicresse. Lady of Duke Vicresse. ”

Locke looked in the direction of her finger, the noble lady with silver ornaments and extremely enthusiastic talking to Kalia, and there was an unusually beautiful girl beside her. It's just that the skin is slightly darker.

"I saw the girl next to her... That's right, the one with a little dark skin. That was Lucille, her daughter with the Duke. Plasis burst out laughing, and there was a smug and mockery in his laughter, "We all know that she came this time to introduce Lucille to you!" ”

"Now, she should be full of regret and remorse in her heart!" Plasis gloated a little, she giggled and took a sip of rum, "When she found out about you, she tried so hard to get you married to Lucille. Even, he didn't hesitate to let Arthur specifically inform us families... Of course.. Well, Lucille is a good girl, she's polite, she's pretty... She is the pearl of the sea that we are now in Kurtilas. ”

"But apparently..."

Locke understood the meaning of the duchess's gloating words.

"Her mother's trade commodities on this trip are her... Poor Lucille..."Plasis whispered in a mournful tone, but soon laughed heartily, and the others around thought they had talked about something happy.

It's pathetic... It's a pity that Lucille is indeed a beautiful girl, but it's a pity that she already has too many wives....

"Lord Harvey, I'll leave first, I need to make room for my friend Lady Catherine—" The Duchess smiled at Lady Catherine, who was waiting in the distance, and the latter came over with a glass. I look forward to meeting with you tomorrow. ”

Locke nodded to her, and the former left satisfied.

At this time, Lady Catherine was standing in the place of Placis, and Locke bowed to her slightly, and the lady did not stretch out her hand, so there was no kiss. Locke took advantage of the situation, and then set his eyes on Lady Catherine, who had come to him.

"Hello Madam, I hope Ivar's life will make you accustomed to it." Locke smiled slightly, and the lady looked at herself carefully with a kind smile on her face.

Silver-haired, well-cut high-end sheepskin corset, small tunic of dark red animal fur, and pale painted faces. Wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, forehead, and left and right cheeks have clearly appeared and are permanent on her face. She should have been about fifty years old, not as Locke had previously estimated.

"So young—" Lady Catherine looked at Locke with a smile, but the surprise and exclamation in her tone Locke could clearly feel it.

"When Thanred was your age, he was just a child." The wrinkles on Catherine's forehead grew, and she laughed, "I'm sure Maury will be proud of you." ”

"Do you know my father?" Locke was a little surprised, as a general rule, when meeting someone for the first time, he would not ask about the other person's deceased relatives. Unless they know each other, they will ask like this.

"I have been to Lordaeron after the end of the Orc War. I saw your father in the royal city then—" Catherine looked at Locke with a smile as if she were a nephew in the future, "and we were both young at that time. Well, your father was about your age, right? Well, how many years older than you, right? ”

"That's such a coincidence..."Locke smiled and nodded, it was indeed a coincidence, but it was hard to say whether this kind of thing was true or false. Maybe it's just the reason she used to pull in the relationship with herself? After all, it's not that hard to find out your background. The book "The Relationship between the Seven Kingdoms and the Relationship between the Seven Kingdoms" of the Council of Nobles clearly records the relationship between each noble family.

"Maury had the same big ideals as you did. But because of physical reasons, he had to be treated by Archbishop Fao in the cathedral of the royal city. Catherine sighed and continued, "I met him at the height of his body's corruption from shadow magic. ”

Catherine gestured to Locke, "From the chest to the left arm, a large part of this place was corrupted by the shadows, and it almost died. It was because of the injuries caused by the shadow magic that your father had to retreat from the front line of the Silver Hand. ”

Locke nodded, so that Lady Catherine might have really seen her father. Because the father in his impression is like that. In the latter part of the Orc War, in which his father participated, he did live in the residence of the Knights of the Silver Hand in the royal city.

In that kind of place, you can always see the nobles who go to the Silver Hand to visit the Silver Hand because they admire the heroes of the Silver Hand and have a relationship with these paladins.

At that time, the paladins of the Silver Hand had already proven themselves on the battlefield, and when they left the battlefield, some of them did choose a large noble family to join. After all, the paladins of the silver hand are each a rare wealth of the kingdom, and their status as knights is also easy to recruit, and they are guests of big noble families. And one of the main features is that paladins were founded to serve kings and feudals.

At the heart of the paladin's code of conduct, humility, honesty, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, and spirit all reinforce allegiance to kings and vassals.

"You and Kalia are a good match," said Kalia, and Lady Catherine looked at Locke with a smile, "Lordaeron will reach new heights because of your union, and King Terenas will be pleased to see you as husband and wife." ”

"Thank you, Madam, for your compliment..."Locke and this lady really didn't have a topic of communication, he and her had something to say, and the environment she was familiar with was different from that of Lordanren who was familiar with her, and the two were simply talking about something to talk about.

The two sides talked patiently for a while, and they showed the others that they were in harmony with each other, and then Catherine left with a smile.

Seeing that another nobleman came to find him, Locke had to politely decline, "If you don't accompany me, please let me go to the toilet..."

Leaving the banquet by urine, Locke found Mormont chatting with other nobles in the middle of the garden. The latter saw Locke hurrying out, and said goodbye to the nobleman, turned a few corners, and then made peace with Locke, and led Locke towards the house not far from the garden.

"Listen to me, my lord, it's best not to leak this until this matter is confirmed. No, it should be confirmed, but you don't have to show it in front of outsiders. Mormont walked away from the noisy crowd ahead, "It's a good thing for us, and it's a good thing for you and Princess Kalia. ”

"At least it makes her nervous, doesn't it?" Mormont turned his head and winked at Locke, who suddenly remembered what he had deliberately done in front of Kalia when he had just returned. He couldn't help asking, "Does she already know?" Did you do this on purpose in front of her? You all know it? Or do I just don't know about it? ”

"Just wait for you to see it, just ask yourself..."

Locke anxiously followed Mormont, who led Locke to the closed door and stopped.

"Please, sir. Your future Prime Minister is here to watch the door for you..."Mormont looked at Locke with a somewhat disrespectful grin, and Locke held back the excitement in his heart, then took a deep breath, pushed open the door and strode in!

Sally Whitemane paced around the room worriedly, it happened so suddenly, she wasn't prepared for anything!!

When Locke pushed the door in, Sally, who saw Locke, seemed to have found the backbone, she threw herself into Locke's arms, looked up at Locke worriedly, and said worriedly.

"I'm pregnant, what should I do!"
