"I guess we haven't seen each other in a while, right?"

The man at the head smiled, his age didn't look particularly old, he looked like he was twenty-three or fourteen years old, his tough facial features made people feel disgusted, and the temperament exuded from his body made Xiao Yueluo's heart flow with a trace of unknown warmth.

"This should be the rumored Dawn Lady Evelina, right?" Before Navis could answer, the man asked again, but this time his eyes were on Xiao Yueluo, "First time we met, I was Angelo Olnis. ”

"Your Royal Highness the eldest prince, Miss Evelina was invited by His Royal Highness the Second Highness, and I ask you to respect yourself."

Navis raised his hand in front of Xiao Yueluo, directly interrupting Angelo's intention to shake hands.

"Count Navis, be careful how you speak, and don't forget the identity of the person in front of you."

"Pay attention to the way I speak? Do you want to pay attention to the way you speak before you do that? ”

Navis narrowed his eyes slightly at the man behind Angelo, and there was a faint coldness in his eyes.

Benjamin Ackerman, the second son of the Ackerman family, Navis had seen this person's name in the reference room, but because it was piggybacked, there was no other record other than his identity as a baron, so it can be said that he was a dispensable figure.

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Navis hooked his lips and glanced at Angelo, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but because he couldn't say anything, he could only spill his resentment on Benjamin.

"What do I mean? Don't forget that you're only a viscount, and I'm two orders above you in terms of title; As for the right to speak, tsk, I think no one will listen to you except the servant in your house; As for the ...... of authority"

Navis looked Benjamin up and down with a cargo-like look before he spoke again, "You must have no authority in terms of authority." ”

"You ......"

Although Navis's last sentence was a question, he finally said it in an affirmative tone, which made Benjamin, who was already a little excited, even more annoyed, and then subconsciously wanted to ridicule him, but he was blocked back by Navis's words just now.

"Eh, don't move, don't forget your identity, I'm an earl, you're a son~sir."

In the end, Navis also deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "viscount", as if he was disgusted that his words were not enough to stimulate the nerves.

"You...... I'm going to duel with you! ”

As soon as Benjamin's words came out, not only Navis and the others, but even himself were a little stunned. Duel, a way of settling disputes between nobles, regardless of origin, regardless of title, as long as one party proposes, the other party must agree, otherwise it will be regarded as admitting defeat. Of course, the person who is proposed to fight can choose the duel method and weapon, and can also choose to fight to the death or death, and because of this, except for the nobles who are very confident in their own strength, they basically will not use this way to resolve the conflict.

"Duel? Poof! Haha, it's the first time I've heard such funny words in so many years. ”

Navis didn't notice the change in Benjamin's face at all, maybe he noticed it but he directly ignored the past, in short, his smile made Benjamin, who still regretted it, lose the last hesitation and caution: "Count Fox, don't you dare?" ”

Benjamin spoke provocatively, the words had already been spoken, so it was too late for him to regret it, in this case, it was better to continue to be tough, even if something happened at that time, it would be much better than discrediting the honor of the family. As a young aristocrat, even if Benjamin is a little uneducated, he also attaches great importance to the honor of the family, because he understands that once he loses the support of the family, it means losing everything.

"Yes, I don't dare." Navis nodded with a smile on his face, and everyone looked different after hearing what he said, and Navis took in all this, and said again without waiting for the others to speak, "After all, if I kill you carelessly, not to mention whether there will be trouble on Your Majesty's side, even your father, Count Ackerman, will inevitably have a tongue." ”

“……”

Benjamin's fists were clenched, and his flushed cheeks fell into the eyes of everyone, if it weren't for the fact that Angelo was stopped by another man behind him, Xiao Yueluo had no doubt that the person in front of her would do something bad. But......

Watching a play?

Xiao Yueluo's eyelids drooped slightly, and after taking her eyes off Benjamin, she immediately glanced up at the smiling Navis again, and after noticing the obvious badness in his eyes, she shook her head and then fell on Angelo, who had not spoken a word since.

In fact, although Navis's actions seemed to be quite forced, after such a long time together, Xiao Yueluo had already touched the temperament of the person next to her. said that she deliberately guided her to believe a few points, as for being forced? That's basically impossible, and it is estimated that this Benjamin has been chosen by Navis as a way to vent from the moment it first appeared.

"Miss Evelina, is there anything you want to say?"

Seeing Xiao Yueluo looking at herself, Angelo smiled naturally, her voice still gentle but warm. And the other three couldn't help but stop when they heard Angelo's words, and their eyes fell on Xiao Yueluo at the same time, as if they wanted to hear her answer.

"It's nothing, I just think this kind of farce is a bit of a waste of time." also returned with a smile, not rude and imperceptible alienation, although Xiao Yueluo had an inexplicable affection for the person in front of her in her heart, but since it was inexplicable, she would be defensive in her heart, and she would not naively think that the relationship without any communication foundation would be so strong.

"You're ......"

"Benjamin, stand down!"

Benjamin was directly reprimanded by Angelo as soon as he wanted to step forward, but perhaps the anger in his heart exceeded Angelo's oppression, Benjamin pointed directly at Xiaoyueluo and said: "But Your Highness, this woman actually said that my duel was a long farce, and I ......"

"I've said it, step aside! I don't want to say the same thing a third time, or do I say that my words don't work in front of you now, huh? ”

The deliberately accentuated nasal voice woke up Benjamin instantly, and at the same time, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his back, and then he suddenly bowed his head to Angelo and bent down, his voice was full of panic: "Your Royal Highness, I'm very sorry, it's my subordinates who are too reckless." ”

"I'll forgive you this time, but not for example." After speaking, Angelo no longer ignored Benjamin's somewhat messy thanks, but refocused on Xiao Yueluo's body, "I'm sorry, let Miss see the joke, by the way, where did I say just now?" Oh, and if you don't like it, say it to them, it's a power that every Imperial lady has, and even more so for a woman as good as Miss Evelina. ”

Angelo continued with his previous words, as if the previous rebuke did not exist, or that the incident just now was not taken to heart by Angelo. It's just that Angelo can be treated as non-existent, but Navis doesn't want to do this, how can he find an interesting one and let people reveal it like this.

"Your Royal Highness, before you discuss the power of the Imperial Lady, the matter between me and him should be resolved, right?" Navis hooked his lips and pointed to Benjamin on the side and asked, but the teasing tone made Angelo frown directly.

He did have a plan to expose this matter, otherwise he would not have changed the subject like this, although Navis usually looks like a smile when he sees everyone, but those who know him know that this person is a "smiling tiger" by nature, and those who provoke him basically have no good end. Besides, he didn't think that Benjamin would be able to win Navis in a duel, even though few people in the Empire knew about it, but he had seen this man's skills a few years ago, and as far as he knew, almost no one could beat it, and even he could only guarantee a five-to-fifty victory.

"This thing ......"

As soon as Angelo spoke, Angelo paused directly, obviously thinking about how to say what to say in the future, after all, Navis is no better than others, not to mention his own earldom, even his ability has to be feared, not to mention the reaction of his second brother Ronald. If he doesn't take care of this matter today, he will definitely get a lot of discussion about it later, even if he doesn't take these voices seriously, but it will probably add up to a big loss in the end.

"And what do you want? Are you promising a duel? If you don't say yes, no one here will say it. After thinking about it again and again, Angelo finally asked this sentence.

Although I am a little sorry for Count Ackerman for doing this, it was Benjamin himself who caused this matter, and it is impossible not to bear the responsibility at all. Besides, if he were to face the future troubles of the fox Navis, he would rather choose to offend Count Ackerman. Maybe on the surface, it's not worth offending a family for a person, but in the long run, he can be regarded as solving a problem for himself, besides......

Even if he and the Ackerman family have the possibility of falling out, he doesn't have to worry that they will be biased towards Ronald because of this, after all, compared to his side, the hatred over there is even greater, you must know that Navis, one of the parties involved, is Ronald's right-hand man. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Ackerman family will be tied to the same boat as him because of this, so this choice is not too bad for him anyway.

"It's true that as His Highness said, even if you don't agree, it's nothing, but some people don't seem to be convinced."

Navis smiled, Angelo could understand the stakes, and he naturally wanted to get it, but Ackerman ...... To be honest, a family with no successor, he and Ronald are not in their eyes.
