"Then the father means that the eldest prince is better than the second prince, and it is precisely because he is better that he arouses the vigilance of the king and all the nobles, so it is difficult to inherit the throne?" Ophelina asked her father in disbelief. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Maybe you can't believe it, but it's true. But even so, I don't think Prince Rex is already bound to lose, so Cecil. Augustine's choice cannot be said to be wrong. Until the last minute, no one can say who wins or loses. Count Cassikud said confidently.

"Father, I am very happy that you have this kind of confidence, and I hope you win, and when the time comes, I will imagine that Princess Freya is annoyed by the failure of the brother she supports, and her power will probably be reduced a lot, it must be a very beautiful picture." Ophelina said excitedly.

Count Cassikud looked helplessly at his daughter, who was smart, gifted, witty, and exquisite. But there is one thing that is the same as the average girl, no, even more than the average girl, and that is to be too jealous of someone who is stronger than herself. A bard once said that his daughter's jealousy would sooner or later harm the whole family, but the Count did not take it seriously, thinking it was nonsense. Now seeing her attitude towards Princess Freya, the Count couldn't help but think of this again, and had some worries in his heart, and wanted to remind his daughter to pay attention, but Ophelina has grown up, and it is almost impossible to change her personality, if she forcefully asks her to be obedient, the result may be counterproductive, maybe she will be obedient on the surface in the future and not even say what is in her heart, it will be counterproductive.

The earl could only shake his head helplessly: "Ophelina, aren't you going to attend today's dinner?" ”

"No, father, I'm a celebrity next to Princess Freya after all, and it's not a good thing to go to Duke Fatam's banquet, you can just take our young Baron Cecil with you." Ophelina said mischievously to her father.

"There's really no way to take you." There is nothing the Earl can do about this daughter, she has always made herself anxious since she was a child, as if she always has her own ideas, the Count always feels that it is easy to deal with the enemy, and it is indeed difficult to deal with this daughter of his own.

"Father, take a good rest, I'll go out first." Ophelina walked out of the room, and after she left, the Count sighed helplessly, and seeing that the time was approaching evening, he asked his attendant to call Cecil from the guest room, and the two went to the palace of the Duke of Fatam for a banquet.

Cecil and the Count got into the double carriage of the Earl's house, this time it was a private banquet, plus both of them were very powerful warriors, so they did not bring the knights, this time Cecil couldn't help but remember the last time he and Ophelina rushed to the palace, it was nearly a year ago. Last time, he could only be Ophelina's attendant knight, but he didn't expect that this time he could sit in the carriage and go to the banquet with the Earl, and the gap not only made Cecil feel proud, but he finally became a nobleman after hard work. Of course, the Long March has only taken the first step, and there is still a lot of work to be done.

To Cecil's surprise, the Duke of Faytam's mansion was farther from the center of the city than the residence of Count Cassikud, and the carriage was running out of the city, and after a five-mile run, they slowly entered the Duke of Faytam's estate. Cecil then learned why the Duke of Faytam's mansion was built far outside the city, far from the city center, and the duke's estate was too big. Not counting the Duke's residence, the Fatam Mansion, as well as large and small buildings, the surrounding manor alone has a radius of nearly 1 kilometer, if it is in the countryside, even if there is a 10-kilometer manor, it is not the slightest remarkable, but this is the royal capital, every inch of land is gold, although it is outside the city, but the size of the territory is absolutely extraordinary.

Entering the manor, there were already servants of the Duke waiting there to take over the carriage of Count Cassikud, and the two of them got off the carriage and changed into a private carriage in the Duke's palace and were pulled straight to the door of the building in the Duke's Palace, on the way Cecil looked at the beautiful scenery of the manor with great interest, and found that the heart was relaxed, and the mountain lake in the distance was scattered, and the scenery was beautiful, Cecil couldn't help but sigh that this Duke of Fatam is a person who can enjoy it very much, and this place is really a good place.

At the door of the building, Cecil and the Count got out of the carriage, and a 6-storey building stood in front of them, on the continent of Lovalan, the 6-storey building basically represents the highest level of human architecture, and the Duke of Fatam used this technology, which is really dizzying. But fortunately, Cecil is still calm, not to mention 6 floors before crossing, he has not seen a 100-story building with thousands of meters, this kind of high-rise building is actually not enough in his eyes.

In front of the door of the building, this handsome and dashing man was very polite to every guest who came here, and the guests were very polite to this gentleman, and they returned the salute to him. Obviously, this man is the younger generation who welcomes the guests on behalf of the Duke today, and Cecil can guess the identity of this person, if he is not mistaken, he is the son-in-law and adopted son of the Duke of Fatam and the eldest son of Count Cassikud. Kasikud.

Sure enough, the young man in front of him was very happy to see the Earl approaching, and uncharacteristically hurried to greet him: "Father, you are here." "The title of the young man has proved Cecil right, he is the Count of Guladhoo, and since he went to the daughter of the Duke of Fatam, he has received this title of Earl, and of course, in the future he will inherit the title and property of the Duke of Fatam, and then his position will be even more prominent.

"Looks like we're here at the right time, Guradu." He was also very happy to see his son, Count Cassikud, "How is the Duke?" I haven't seen him for half a month, so it's a bit of a surprise to come to this banquet suddenly. ”

"Dad's health is very good now, and today's banquet is to invite old friends over, drink tea, and catch up with the old days." Guladhu replied. Of course, the "dad" in his mouth now is of course his father-in-law, Duke Fatam.

Hearing this, Count Cassikud smiled and said, "Lord Duke has always taken good care of us old friends, so I will go in first." ”
