Today is a special day for Port Modris.

Tonight, the Marquis of Frank will host a seventeenth birthday dinner for his daughter, Miss Jessica, at his estate, to whom all the dignitaries of Port Modris' status are invited.

They will witness the engagement of Miss Jessica and Lord Robert Jr., two of the largest and most distinguished families in Port Modris, who will be intimately connected that evening.

There is a sweet smell in the air throughout Port Modris, and in order to share the joy with all the people of Port Modris, or to show the power of the Frank family, the whole of Port Modris has been transformed overnight.

The navy and soldiers stationed in Hong Kong took action, they shuttled from street to alley, to make sure that nothing bad happened today that would affect the evening banquet, the soldiers wore uniform white uniforms, red ribbons and flowers on their chests, looking clean and tidy and with a kind of heat.

Not to be outdone, the Robert family took over all the taverns and restaurants in Port Modris, whether it was a nobleman or a servant, except for the slaves, all the expenses of the Robert family were counted on the head of the Robert family.

After the news spread, all the taverns in Port Modriss were full, and they even had to take out the rum and red wine that had accumulated in the warehouse, and the whole town was thrown into an inexplicable carnival.

The revelry continued into the evening, when the sun went down and the town was lit up with torches and oil lamps, and the atmosphere reached another peak with the sound of dozens of cannons on the cliffside outside the harbor.

"Nie, it's time for us to go. ”

Hearing the sound of cannons outside, Nina ran to the room with some excitement, and she urged Andy to drink the potion, and then helped him get dressed.

Andy looked at himself in the mirror, a face that made him unfamiliar.

His long golden hair curved to his shoulders, his blue eyes, and his nose bridge are somewhat similar to Andrea's, with a melancholy aristocratic temperament.

He was going to use this face tonight to make a deal with Daphne, and this morning a guard brought a letter from a merchant named Kelis, the guy next to Daphne.

The merchant who has half a foot in hell and is still enjoying himself.

Andy knew that Daphne was behind Kelis, so he knew what the letter meant, and it looked like Nina's friends had already spread the word that she wanted to buy a sapphire vein.

Kelis asked her to have a good chat at tonight's banquet, and it can be seen from the letter that Daphne is a little anxious, and it seems that the pirate incident in the castle tavern before still has a certain influence on her.

So Andy plans to put aside those unnecessary temptations, settle this matter tonight, solve it with the Destiny Stone, and leave Port Modris as soon as possible.

......

Nina helped Andy straighten out the cuffs and collar, looked at him, and pursed her lips.

"Maybe it's because I'm used to looking at your face, and I always feel a little strange. ”

Andy chuckled, there was indeed a big difference between the faces of Easterners and Westerners, and he himself felt awkward.

"Let's go, Marquis Frank's castle is in the west of the town, some distance from us, and the sound of the cannon just now indicates that in an hour the feast will officially begin. ”

Nina said, picking up a hot gold invitation card and a beautifully wrapped gift box from the table, and gently placing it in her small bag, which was a delicate handbag made of sea animal skin, embroidered with gold thread and inlaid with a few precious stones.

Inside the handbag were some of Nina's gadgets, including some gold coins, replacement jewelry, perfume, and handkerchiefs.

"Nie, do I really look good in this dress?"

"Oh, Nina...... This is the third time you've asked me this question, and I swear you'll be the most beautiful woman at the banquet, and I don't think even the Marquis's daughter can hide the light you radiate......"

"Hehehe~Nie, I didn't expect you to be such a person~"

Nina laughed happily, and even though she knew Andy was saying that, she felt happy.

The two men walked out of the castle, and a carriage was parked in front of the manor, and the coachman leaned on the side of the carriage in boredom, and the horses were grazing with their heads bowed.

"Ma'am. ”

The coachman bowed down and said, it is worth mentioning that this time the coachman is still the same guy from yesterday, after Nina appeared, he still looked at her as always, with respectful and greedy eyes, and then glanced at Andy.

"Sure enough, it's another change?"

The coachman thought to himself, and he tried to stand up straight, so that he could look more upright.

"Go to Marquis Frank's estate, hurry, I don't want to be late for this occasion. ”

Nina and Andy got into the carriage and said to the coachman.

"Yes, ma'am. ”

The coachman retracted his thoughts, and the carriage staggered in the direction of the town. Nina leaned over Andy's side, took a deep breath, and asked softly.

"You...... You're about to get out of here, aren't you?"

"How do you know?"

Andy didn't deny it, he lowered his head with some curiosity and looked at Nina who was leaning on his chest.

"I can tell from the look in your eyes that you're leaving Modris, and the reason why you've agreed to stay with me is because you're a pirate...... I think the only thing that will interest you is the Stone of Destiny. ”

Nina spoke slowly, she lifted her head and bit her lip as if she had made the most important decision of her life.

"Take me away, okay? I also want to go out and see, the waves on the ocean are turbulent, the waves are stormy, and the freedom and romance of pirates belong to ~"

Andy frowned, he looked at Nina and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Nina, I know that life here is boring, and yesterday's dinner party made me realize how rotten and chaotic the life of the so-called aristocracy is......"

Andy can imagine what that birthday dinner will be like after he and Nina leave.

The male waiters in the hall, as well as the aristocratic ladies who are looking for excitement, under the stimulation of the drink, maybe they will do something, Andy touched Nina's hair, he didn't know if he should feel sorry for this woman, she chose to indulge, is it because she really likes it in her heart, or is she infected by this environment and needs catharsis?

"But in fact, don't think of the life of a pirate as good, free and romantic? Do you know how many people's blood I have on my hands? Do you know how many times I have experienced life and death?"

Andy thinks of his time aboard the Goddess of Despair, First Officer Roger, Gunner Des......

Those who are still drinking rum with you one second may be blown to pieces by artillery the next!

Nina fell silent, she took one of Andy's arms and didn't say anything more.

"And didn't you promise me to help me manage that sapphire vein?"

Andy changed his voice and said to Nina.

"Sapphire veins?"

Nina was a little dazed, then thought of something and laughed all at once.

"Well, I'm waiting for you in Modris, I have hundreds of thousands of gold coins, I'm not afraid you won't come back!"

Nina said this, closing her eyes, and she leaned herself against Andy, not wanting to think about the future.

Her feelings for Andy made her feel incredible, Nina had so many men, but she had never had such reluctance towards a person.

Nina doesn't know why this is happening, maybe it's because Andy has a unique charm on his body, maybe it's because he's strong.

Andy felt Nina's uncalm breathing, he didn't know what Nina was thinking, but it wouldn't be a happy thing to think about, he sighed softly and put his hand on Nina's shoulder.

The scenes of these days appeared in his mind, which made him a little reluctant, maybe Nina will have many men in the future......

Who knows? He's a pirate, and she's just playing with Nina, and the difference between her and the prostitutes in Pirate Harbor is just her identity.

Thinking like this, Andy felt a little better.

The carriage was speeding towards the Marquis's estate, and Andy's heart became calmer, and tonight was the time to settle everything in Port Modris.

By the time the carriage arrived at the manor, it was already more than half an hour later, and during this time, neither of the two people in the carriage spoke, tacitly enjoying what might be the last moment of warmth.

The Marquis's estate was huge, at least as large as a dozen Nina's, and in the middle of the manor, was a tall castle, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was even as high as the cliffs on the coast.

The huge castle stands to the west of the small town of Modris, built on the edge of a cliff with the sea below, and the endless sea can be seen from every room on the west side of the castle.

The bricks and stones used to build the castle were so heavy that even the artillery could not fire them, but this castle was completely beyond Andy's imagination, and it was hard to imagine that it was just a marquis's castle.

And what will happen to the duke's castle, and what will happen to the royal palace?

There were quite a few people in the manor, most of them were maids and manservants, some were merchants and petty nobles who came to the manor for banquets, and the real people of status would enter the castle with invitations.

Andy was still wondering how he got the invitation as Nina, but when he saw the content of the invitation, he realized that the so-called viscountess was just one of Nina's identities.

On the surface, Nina is the niece of an earl, but she is actually the illegitimate daughter of the earl, so she was married to a viscount, and Nina's family is no longer Port Modris, but coincidentally, Nina's father, the old earl, is a very good friend with the brother of the Marquis of Frank.

It is such a complicated relationship that Nina also obtained a precious invitation.

After Nina took out the invitation, a waiter took the initiative to greet her, respectfully led Nina and Andy towards the castle, the people around showed envious eyes, they could not enter the castle, but they still stayed in the manor, just hoping to have more contact with these noble people.

I have to say that Nina, who was wearing a gorgeous dress, looked noble and elegant, she took Andy's arm and walked into the castle with a shallow smile on her face.

Upon entering the castle, Nina handed her gift and invitation to the butler who was guarding the door.

The old butler looked at the invitation, bowed respectfully to Nina, and then said, "Honorable Sir and Madam, I hope you can enjoy this dinner, and I wish you a pleasant evening." ”

Nina smiled and nodded in response, before walking down the hall with Andy.

Above the hall hung several crystal chandeliers, made by alchemists, emitting a bright yet soft glow that made the whole hall look very comfortable.

At this time, there were many people in the hall, Andy looked around, and did not notice the presence of Andler, and Daphne was nowhere to be seen.

Many nobles and merchants were gathered around the long table, enjoying wine and talking about things that would allow them to earn more gold.

The entry of the two men did not cause the slightest stir, and only two waiters noticed them, one of whom came over with a silver plate with several different glasses of red wine and juice on it.

"Dear Sir and Madam, I wish you a pleasant dinner. ”

After Andy and Nina took two glasses of red wine, the waiter respectfully left the two.

"Do you know those nobles and merchants?"

Andy asked in a whisper around Nina's waist.

"They're the most noble people in Puerto Modres, of course I know, but they don't know me. ”

Nina chuckled and whispered as she pointed to a short-haired man in a navy uniform in the middle of the hall.

"See? He's John Frank, the patron saint of the Frank family, the Admiral of the Empire. ”

Andy's pupils narrowed, and he took a deep look at the admiral, this was the first time he had come into contact with such a high-level navy.

John Frank was dressed in a navy uniform, and although he was smiling all the time, there was still an oppressive sense of seriousness that surrounded him.

The nobles and merchants he spoke to seemed a little reserved.

Perhaps sensing Andy's gaze, John, who had been talking to a big businessman, suddenly turned his head, and his gaze met Andy's in midair.

Andy was shocked, and quickly pretended to be panicked and lowered his head.

"He saw us, go say hello~"

Nina pulled Andy along, and the two walked over.

"Uncle John~ When is Sister Jessica coming down from the stairs?"

Nina spoke to John very well, without the slightest nervousness or restraint.

John smiled, and he looked upstairs, his eyes flashing with doting.

"Maybe a little while, it's all girls, and I think you know how difficult it is to choose the right dress. ”

Nina covered her mouth and laughed, and she pulled Andy down to her side and grabbed his arm.

"Uncle John, this is Will, my friend. ”

John raised an eyebrow and gave Andy a deep look.

"Will, a nice lad. ”
