"How do you evaluate Roland's romantic deeds? It depends on what kind of standard it is, according to the standard of our imperial aristocratic son, in fact, Roland is not lustful, and the gossip lover can be counted on two hands, and this poor record is not ranked at all in the empire's social field! Anthony changed his words and showed a wicked smile on his face, "But then again, Roland doesn't care about the quantity of his lover but cares about the quality very much, his lover has one, regardless of appearance, figure, personality, origin, temperament, and ability, he is at a super-first-class level, which has to be convinced!" ”

Palatina listened intently, her eyes flickering slightly.

"From what I know about Roland, Palatina, you have to be careful during your time in the Far East." Anthony warned with a serious look on his face.

"Be careful of what?" Palatina asked rhetorically.

"Haven't you noticed? An almost perfect woman like you is exactly the type that Roland loves, he will definitely launch a fierce attack on you, if you are unfortunate enough to lose in love, it will be equivalent to the defeat of the dignified empire to the former territory, wouldn't it be a loss of dignity! Anthony emphasized.

Palatina's red lips opened slightly, first surprised that Anthony could talk such righteous nonsense, and then burst out laughing.

"You can shut up Anthony, I want to be quiet."

Paladina turned her head to look out the window, and the back neckline showed a piece of her neck, which shone softly in the dimly lit compartment, making her look particularly fair and slender. Outside the window, it was already twilight, and the horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly along the neat and wide street, and the shops on both sides of the street were crowded with people, and unfamiliar faces quickly passed by Palatina's eyes, converging into a simple impression. Palatina was surprised to find that there was an atmosphere of peace and tranquility in the rebel-occupied city, with more smiles on people's faces and less anxiety, which was very different from the scene of the Holy City.

Why did the city prosper so much under the brutal rule of the rebels? Why were the inhabitants able to live and work in peace and contentment despite the loss of imperial patronage and the oppression of the rebels, and even from the neat clothes of the street pedestrians, the burghers generally did well?

Palatina not only suspected that this was just a false illusion specially created by the rebel government to deceive the delegation, but that the decent pedestrians on the streets were disguised as rebel family members, and that the beggars, hooligans, and rebels in the city were all secretly imprisoned by those in power, in order to cover up the truth that the rebel party was unpopular and the ruling foundation was fragile?

Palatina raised an eyebrow, secretly excited that she might be able to penetrate the conspiracy. With a sense of mission to find out the truth, she took the initiative to talk to Anthony Fogel and tried to find clues from him. As a result, she was greatly disappointed, Anthony seemed to be a shrewd but stupid person, he was deceived by the traitorous party, and he was completely unaware of the abnormality in the city, could it be that he had been in vain in the Far East for the past two years? The words spoken are the same as the propaganda caliber of the official newspapers of the Far East.

Palatina secretly deplored that Anthony had been unwittingly "brainwashed" by the traitorous party. Since no clues could be found from him, Palatina naturally thought that the prince of the Far East, who occupied an important position in the rebel group, might be able to find a breakthrough from this person.

Thinking like this, the corners of Palatina's lips rose slightly, and fighting spirit appeared in her eyes, it was time to win glory for the country!

The carriage stopped in the square in front of the Palace of Mercy, and Roland accompanied the elder Fogel, Alberton Jr., Palatina, and other imperial guests into the banquet hall. Rudolph stood up to greet the visitor, surrounded by cabinet ministers, and gave the visitor enough face.

After the formulaic welcome speech, the guests and hosts raised their glasses and the cocktail party officially began.

Roland accompanied his father through the venue, introducing the guests one by one, and Fogel Sr. and Alberton Jr. were naturally the focus of the introduction. When it was Palatina's turn, Roland had not yet spoken, and Her Royal Highness the Princess took the lead and generously reported herself to the door.

"Good evening, Mr. Koras, Sigmund Hansenberg is my father, do you still have an impression of him?"

Rudolph was in awe: "Your Excellency the Marshal is my old boss and my mentor at the military academy, and I have never dared to forget his teachings all these years. ”

Palatina raised her glass, "I salute you on behalf of my father, and he asked me to convey a few words to you......" Approaching Rudolph, she whispered Sigmunt greetings in his ear.

Roland pricked up his ears and couldn't hear what Palatina was saying, only to see his father's face change rapidly, obviously with mixed emotions. When he was surprised, Rudolph turned around and patted him on the shoulder, and solemnly explained: "You have entertained Her Royal Highness Palatina for me, in fact, you are also old friends, and you have met twenty-two years ago. ”

"Twenty-two years ago?" Roland couldn't believe his ears, "How old was I then?" ”

"It's less than a year old, and it's still a little baby who can only cry with a nose." Palatina smiled and looked at him deeply, "In a way, you were cuter when you were a child than you are now. ”

"You seem to know myself better than I do." The look in her eyes made Roland feel threatened, the look in the cat's eyes as it was about to pounce on the mouse.

"Perhaps, after all, I'm two years older than you, and I still have some memories of what happened when I was a child." Palatina pursed her thin rosy lips, her deep and charming blue eyes as if to suck his soul away, "I heard some stories about you on the way, and I accidentally solved a doubt. ”

"What doubts?" Roland couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

"Twenty-two years ago, you were fostered in my house for a while, perhaps because you were not used to leaving your mother's arms, you kept crying, in order to comfort you, I gave you my favorite doll to play with, but it still couldn't make you stop crying, which made me feel frustrated and incomprehensible."

"It just goes to show that the toys you like don't necessarily fit my heart."

"My favorite doll is the knight with the sword held high, it doesn't work well to appease you, but unfortunately I didn't know you well enough at the time, otherwise I would have given you a rag doll dressed as a little princess."

Palatine smiled and winked at Roland, flicked her skirt and walked away.

Roland was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, it turned out that Palatina was making fun of him for being a womanizer since he was a child...... This is really, a great wrong!

Inexplicably teased by Palatina, Roland couldn't stop crying and laughing. Looking up at Her Royal Highness the Princess, she was walking across the banquet hall towards the terrace. She kept a pleasant smile on her face as she passed through the people who had flashed her way, and the white evening dress with diamond lace was even more graceful and luxurious, and the swan-like neck of Her Royal Highness was emphasized in a bun according to the fashion of the imperial court, and her radiant face was as beautiful as if it were glowing.
