Chapter 30: The Banquet Begins

After playing with Nicole until dinner, Levi took her back to eat directly.

During the meal, Levi talked about what he had to discuss with Nicole.

"First of all, it's about the banquet, this time it's to introduce you to the envoys of those countries, although I don't take those countries seriously, but I still have to give face, so one is that you need to change your clothes."

Nicole, who was eating, nodded in understanding.

She was still wearing the clothes she had brought with her after so long in the palace, it wasn't that Levi hadn't prepared clothes for her, it was just that she didn't like clothes that were luxurious but not suitable for movement.

Levi: "And then there's the etiquette, although I know you don't like these, but you still need to know some basic etiquette, and you can go back and understand it after the meal, you don't need to learn it, but you still have to be able to behave." ”

Nicole still has no opinion on this one.

Levi nodded, since there were no opinions on these two, there was basically no problem.

For a while, Levi slowly tore the bread in his hand and sent it to his mouth, and when he had time, Levi would rub his stomach, I don't know if it was his own delusion, Levi always felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

Nicole noticed Levi's belly rubbing, subconsciously put down the food in her hand and asked with some concern, "What's wrong?" Levi, is your stomach upset? ”

Reevy shook his head when he heard this, and since he didn't take it seriously, he changed the subject.

"By the way, Nicole, is there anything that can make people's eyes shine at this banquet, and it's best to have a light rain to shake those guys!"

Nicole was tempted by this proposal, but declined politely.

Nicole: "Well, Levi you know, rain is a sacred ritual, and it's really used in places like this. ”

This outcome was not what Levi expected, but it was not a big problem, after all, it was just a proposal.

"It's okay, it's just a lottery, if you don't want to do it, forget it, let's eat."

As he spoke, Rivi frowned secretly, and he really felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

Nicole: "... ”

The meal time was over quickly, and Levi felt a lot better after eating, so he didn't take it to heart.

And there are other things that make Levi more irritating than these.

Neil: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid they won't agree to such a rash reduction in the forces of their subjects. ”

Levi nodded silently.

To be honest, Rivi's current situation is not good, he has a large territory but it is difficult to digest, which not only greatly disperses the deployment of his troops, but also makes it difficult for Levi to do anything compared to those vassal countries at will.

With a wave of his hand, Neal was ready to go out, and only after Neil went out did Levi take a breath, look at the ceiling, and mutter, "Baldwin, you left me with a big question." ”

The vassals were a real danger in Revi's eyes.

I knew I would have persuaded Baldwin in the first place. ’

But who would have thought that Rivi would be able to achieve what he is today?

'Well, bear with it. Levi could only endure it.

After putting these aside for two days, the banquet went on as usual.

————————————————————

Hector: "What a feast, Your Majesty. "Hector Rivi's Chancellor of the Exchequer, when his granddaughter was born, Levi gave his granddaughter a piece of land as a birthday gift.

Levi: "Hehe, my bride, it's going to be a big scene. "The banquet held by Levi was very grand, no matter how simple it was.

As he spoke, Levi smiled and touched a glass with Hector.

Taking a sip of wine, Levi smiled and changed the subject.

"By the way, Hector, you are really relieved to let your precious granddaughter go to the territory by herself."

Hector also smiled and replied: "Chicks always have to go through experience before they can fly." ”

While the two were talking and laughing, the Minister of State, the Duke of Ferrara, and the ambassador of the Sea Country walked over.

Duke Ferrara: "What a grand banquet, Your Majesty, and the ambassadors of various countries are also very happy. ”

For this, Levi narrowed his eyes and didn't speak, he was involved in the last time Nicole was humiliated, and according to the information sent by 'Dark', this guy has been active recently.

Rivi did not answer, and the ambassador of the Sea Country, who was following him, continued the words of the Duke of Ferrara, and said, "I would like to express my deep apologies for being so rude to the princess last time. ”

Although the young man was apologizing, the frivolity made Levi very unhappy, and just as he frowned and wanted to say something, Hector on the side immediately smiled and reached out to caress Rivi's shoulder.

"Oh, there's hair, Your Majesty."

And Levi read the information clearly from his eyes.

'Please calm down, Your Majesty. ’

Taking a deep breath, Li Wei pretended to smile casually and said, "Don't mind, enjoy it today compared to this." ”

Ambassador of the Sea Country: "Yes, it's an honor~"

Duke Ferrara: "But Your Majesty, I didn't see today's protagonist, Princess Nicole, and it would be a great gaffe not to attend my own celebration banquet." ”

As soon as these words came out, it would obviously make Levi unhappy, and Ferrara knew that this would be the case, and his intentions in doing so were really worth studying.

Hector saw that Rivi's eyes were starting to chill, and he immediately stood up for the round.

Hector: "Oh, oh, what Duke Ferrara said is a little inappropriate, Princess Nicole, who is here today, naturally needs to dress up." ”

Saying that, Hector smiled and said to Levi, "Can you take a step to speak, Your Majesty?" ”

Levi nodded expressionlessly.

Hector smiled and said to the Duke of Ferrara and the ambassador of the Sea Country, "Missing." So he dragged Levi into a corner where no one was around.

After first looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention, Hector smiled bitterly and said, "Be calm, Your Majesty." ”

Levi squinted at Duke Ferrara before returning, "Hector, why are these people not good at learning?" ”

Hector thought for a moment before answering Levi's question.

"People who are going to die sooner or later, why should Your Majesty be in a hurry, but this Duke of Ferrara is not very honest, and he has been testing me all this time."

Hector is now on the staunch Levi's side, so there are some things he won't hide.

Levi nodded and said that he already knew, and all this 'dark' information had been said.

Levi: "It seems that there is a big force standing behind this Duke of Ferrara." ”

With a hint of playfulness, Levi was interested, knowing that Hector's position was still like this, which was interesting.

Hector took a sip of the wine in his glass, and instead of answering, he changed the subject.

"But Princess Nicole did appear a little late today."

Levi shrugged his shoulders.

"She said she was going to surprise me, but for now, don't say you're happy, just don't surprise me."

Hector: "Hahaha, Your Majesty is joking, since you have given enough trust to Princess Nicole, then I believe that Princess Nicole will not disappoint you." ”

The two touched their glasses again.

——————————————

At this time, in the backfield, Nicole, who had finished preparations, was making the final preparations for relaxation.

Alice: "Please relax, Your Highness Nicole, please rest assured that Your Majesty is here." ”

Nicole smiled bitterly, she was nervous only when Levi was there, but she didn't say it.

After a moment, Nicole: "Alright, let's go!" ”

——————————————

Inside the venue, Nicole finally shows up as Levi and Hector make small talk about her granddaughter's boyfriend.

A sudden gust of wind blew up the petals in the room, and while Levi was still wondering where the flowers came from in the room, Nicole appeared in the rain like a jewel outside the window, accompanied by a faint singing voice and a jewel outside the window.

A black and red dress with a well-dressed face instantly set off Nicole's different temperament.

This shocking scene was stunned even by Levi himself, let alone the nobles and ambassadors.

"Oh~!! What a wonderful show! ”

"Is this also prepared by His Majesty?"

Levi: "... ”

Levi didn't say anything about it, and at this time, with Nicole's singing, Levi felt that Nicole was so charming for the first time, and he felt that his heart was beating with it.

And that's what Nicole wants, and seeing Levi's stunned look, Nicole instantly doesn't feel nervous.

After a while, the rain stopped at the end of the song, and after a simple song, Nicole lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed to everyone.

"All the guests have come all the way for me today, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks~"

As soon as Nicole's voice fell, the audience immediately remembered warm applause.

Levi also reacted and immediately stepped forward to greet him, and just when Rivi wanted to say a few words to Confannole, the ambassador of the Sea Country suddenly came out from the side!

"So beautiful! There is no other princess so beautiful as far as I know! Please give me the glory of kissing your hand!! ”

Although Nicole hated this person very much, Nicole still smiled and stretched out her hand in this situation.

However, just as the ambassador of the Sea Nation was about to touch Nicole's hand, Levi couldn't help but reach out and catch Nicole's hand.

"Watch your attitude, Ambassador."

With a cold face and an undisguised face, Levi spread his malice, and the ambassador instantly knew where he was.

"No, I'm very sorry, Your Majesty."

He still didn't have the guts to test Levi's strength.

The suddenness of this incident made everyone realize one thing, don't think about touching Princess Nicole anymore.

Nicole's wonderful appearance is destined for a successful banquet.

There's nothing to elaborate on during the banquet, so we'll just skip it.

After the banquet ended, Levi and Nicole stayed in the room to rest.

Nicole: "I'm so tired~~~"

Levi looked at her and sat in his place without speaking, pretending to sleep, he was more tired than Nicole and needed more rest.

Nicole, who didn't arouse Levi, was not reconciled and was silent, so she simply lifted her skirt and got up and sat on the arm of Levi's chair, and Nico said in a strange tone: "Na~ Rivi, at the beginning, were you jealous~"

As soon as these words came out, Livi's heart sank, and then he slowly opened his eyes on the surface, looked at Nicole and said with a smile: "You, aren't you very beautiful when you dress up." Levi was naturally reluctant to dwell on this topic, so he naturally wanted to change the subject.

There is no woman who is praised by the person she likes and is indifferent.

"Really! Now, is it pretty? ”

Smiling happily, he got up and spun around the hem of his skirt in front of Rivi's face, then looked at Rivi again.

At this moment, Levi's heart was moved again, but Levi, who had experience, quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Well, it's beautiful, like a butterfly fluttering among flowers."

This answer made Nicole very satisfied, but.

"Levi, you haven't answered my question yet, are you jealous?"

Looking at Nicole Livi squatting in front of him, he first covered his face and turned his head, and then after two seconds, Rivi turned his head and tried his best to hide his inner thoughts with a smile on his face and said, "Yes, yes, are you satisfied?" ”

Nicole nodded: "Satisfied~!" ”

Levi sighed inwardly, then leaned back in his chair and fell asleep again.

————————————————

A series of events before Levi's marriage are approaching, the royal family must first get engaged before getting married, and the two parties will exchange rings at the engagement ceremony to officially determine the wedding date.

However, there is a problem here.

When Rivi took over, the country of Sunny was a country where divine power and royal power coexisted, and there was a god who worshipped himself, the sun god, and the royal family was the first to be restricted, which has always troubled Rivi, although it was a rule set by the ancestors, but there will always be conflicts between divine power and royal power.

So when Levi realized the hidden dangers brought by theocracy, he kept reforming the issue of theocracy.

However, because the roots of the local sect are huge and involved, unlike the sect that Livi wiped out, Livi can only try to slow it down and try to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

But even if Levi gave them mercy, the religion always wanted to do something for Levi, and soon they got Levi into a lot of trouble.

But that's still later, so let's look at the present.
