When the Marquis of Peyton went downstairs and walked into the banquet hall, Alston and Antonis were helping Leo introduce a few familiar nobles, and when they saw the situation from a distance, the Marquis apologized a little to the nobles who were interested in talking along the road, and walked straight to this side

"Cough" Peyton coughed lightly after approaching, and after successfully attracting everyone's attention, the corners of his mouth pulled out a standard aristocratic smile and said calmly

"I'm sorry guys, we need a little time to discuss something, can you please stay away for a while......" Although with a smile and politeness, even a fool can hear Peyton's resoluteness

Several nobles in the conversation said that it was okay, and after a few polite words, they all said goodbye and left this resting corner......

Leo looked at the old man in front of him with some doubts, and saw that some familiar faces were about to ask, and the Marquis of Peyton had already smiled before him and Auston, who was about to be introduced, but this time the smile was full of joy from the heart

"Leo? You must be Lord Leo, I'm Peyton Hohenzollern, and I must have heard my name from my unwitted cousin Barr? ”

With his right hand on his chest, the old marquis bowed slightly and took the lead in saluting Leo under the stunned eyes of Auston and Antonis

"Leo!!" Auston on the side was afraid that his friends who didn't know the depth would really accept this etiquette calmly, after all, Peyton was different from ordinary marquises, and blurted out next to him regardless of etiquette......

Even Antonis frowned, wondering why the marquis, who had always been grumpy, had suddenly changed so much, knowing that Peyton, who used two leopards as his family coat of arms, was never a good talker

However, in the next moment, Leo's actions made the hearts of the two of them relax, and he stretched out his hand slightly sideways to gently support the Marquis of Peyton, and Leo's handsome face showed a sincere smile

"You are too polite, Your Excellency Honorable Councillor, please take a seat, after coming to the imperial capital, it is my faux pas to not be able to visit you as soon as possible because of too many trivial matters"

Smiling and patting the back of Leo's hand, Peyton sat down, he was very satisfied with Leo not calling him a marquis, but using another title, and his straightforward personality also made him feel more good about Leo

After stretching out his hand and asking several other people to sit down as well, the Marquis was not polite and complained directly to Leo

"If it weren't for the Duke's mouth, I didn't even know that you had my cousin's handwritten letter in your hand, how could you agree to this old thing's invitation first?"

After speaking, ignoring Antonis's somewhat embarrassed look next to him, the marquis continued to ask to himself

"Barr, my cousin, how is that old fellow in good health? I said a long time ago that the cold weather in the Northern Territory was not suitable for him, and let him return to the imperial capital, and it turned out that he was even involved in the incident of that bastard in Orlando......"

Looking at the Marquis Peyton, who had a straightforward personality, no matter what his purpose and starting point were, Leo still felt a little kindness from this chattering old man, and poured a glass of water for the marquis with his own hands, and then replied

"The Earl of Barr is very healthy, you must have heard of the incident in Orlando, His Excellency the Earl is also involuntarily, after the misunderstanding was resolved, we have become very good friends, I did not bring the earl's handwritten letter with me, but please rest assured, I will visit you and your family as soon as possible, here again I ask you to forgive me for my negligence"

"Okay, don't be so cautious when chatting with me, I'm not like the grandfather of the kid next to me to say something to hide."

Glancing to see that no one else was nearby except Antonis and Auston, who were becoming more and more restless, the Marquis of Payton lowered his voice

"The Duke and I have reached an agreement, and we two old fellows will do our best to ensure that your nobility is certified through our power in the House of Nobles, although I think the law of the Empire is bullshit...... Could it be that the real aristocracy can be pretended to be anyone! ”

"Besides......" After a pause, Marquis Peyton asked in a lower voice, a little nervous

"Are you indeed from Pande? From the same place as the mysterious ancestors of the Cresters? A continent of endless magic and magic? ”

"Oh? What do you mean? ”

Hearing Peyton's inquiry, Leo leaned back in his chair and looked at the Marquis with some meaning

"You're right, the earliest ancestor of the Swan family is indeed from the mysterious Pande Continent in your mouth, the specific reason is really impossible for me to explain to you, because I don't know what kind of force sent us here, I guess maybe it was magic or some powerful unknown power......"

"Then in the legend of the Empire, the Swan family originally possessed a knightly order of almost immortality, all kinds of items with mysterious powers, you must know if these are true, right, dear Leo?"

"Maybe...... It is a pleasure to speak with you, Your Excellency, and perhaps in the days to come, we can discuss these in detail" Out of the corner of his eye, Leo had already seen the figure of the Duke emerging from the stairs, stood up and smiled and extended his right hand to the Marquis of Payton.

"Hehehe, hahaha~" Looking at the other party's smiling eyes, Peyton couldn't help grinning lightly, and gradually changed from laughter to laughter, shook his head and reached out to hold Leo's palm

"Leo, Your Excellency the Grand Duke Leo, you will see that the Hohenzollerns will become your best friends, and I sincerely believe that your honorable title of Grand Duke is genuine, and there is no doubt that anyone or family who dares to challenge this will be the enemy of all nobles, including us!"

Taking advantage of the handshake, Leo approached the Marquis of Peyton and whispered in his ear

"You're right, I'm also honored to have your support, Hohenzollern and the other families who helped me will get the benefits they deserve, forget the Swan family, I'm not the same kind as their ancestors, and slowly you will find that my strength is far greater than their original ......"

Letting go of their hands, the two looked at each other and smiled, both satisfied with the outcome of the meeting, and the Marquis of Peyton thought that he understood Leo's ambitions and ensured the interests of the family for at least a hundred years

Leo was ecstatic about the joining of the powerful family of Hohenzollern, which represented a very good start to the ice-breaking journey of the imperial capital.

The Marquis of Auston, who was dragging behind, looked thoughtfully side by side and laughed, went to the back of the two of them in the main banquet hall, and grabbed Antonis, who was walking by, and asked in a low voice

"Damn it, Antonis, is there anything I need to know about Leo and Marquis Peyton and your family, but don't know?"

Crying and breaking free a few times to no avail, Antonis said helplessly

"I'm afraid I know as much as you do, it's just that my grandfather has been telling me and the rest of the family in recent times that I have to have a good relationship with Leo, you know, I haven't seen my grandfather take it so seriously for a long time"

"I see!"

Let go of his hand and follow Antonis to the main banquet hall, but Auston's heart is not as calm as it seems, not to mention the impulsive Peyton, even the cunning Duke of Lancaster who is as cunning as a fox attaches so much importance to Leo, then things are definitely not as simple as they seem

"Maybe this is also an opportunity for the Merovingian family...... "The marquis, who thought carefully about the meaning of the matter, did not have any idea of reporting to the emperor at all, in this era, the imperial power or any other thing could not exceed the interests of his own family!
