Margaret and Luthers' wedding was about to take place in a little more than a month, and the grand wedding was tentatively scheduled for December 23, 948 in the Old Kingdom Calendar. www.biquge.info The political marriage between the Duchy of Noo, which split off from the old kingdom, and the Kingdom of Kosai, the most powerful kingdom in the north of the continent, is about to become a reality, and the officials in charge of the Duchy of Noo have begun to prepare for the wedding.

The first thing to do is to make sure that the guests will be invited to the city of Ibon that day, which is more important than who will be the bride and who will be the groom.

"This list has been drawn up by me, please look at it Lord Duke...", one of the Duke of Aldington's ministers slowly handed the list to the other party, and the Duke stretched out his thick and long fingers, like a bear taking a piece of deep-sea fish that had been cut.

Margaret, the ice princess, and Susanna, the Duke's daughter, watched the Duke of Aldington look at the guest list, and the two of them held their breath as the handsome long-haired knight Pedro standing behind Susanna, because some of the names on the list had been added by the two of them.

The Duke of Oldington wore a golden crown on his head and various gemstone rings on his fingers, "Bastard! I didn't write down what I should have invited! Some guy who didn't know who he added it?!" he suddenly clutched the list in his hand and threw it directly into the official's face.

The official was startled, he hurriedly picked up the list that had been rolled into a ball, lowered his head and said timidly: "Your Majesty knows that you are wrong! I will change it! I will change it!" He fell to his knees and prepared to retreat outside the palace.

"You know?!What do you know?!" Aldington's face was furious, his eyes widened behind his thick eyelids, "Who are you going to add?!"

The official had no idea who should not be invited, and he glanced at Suzanne and the other nobles sitting beside him in a panic, but the eyes of these people did not tell him the answer.

"I... I know..."

"Add Adam, King of the Kingdom of Cosse, first!, you idiot!" Aldington's words startled several of the nobles and Margaret who were close to them, but the nobles quickly understood that this was nothing more than a façade work done by Aldington. The king of the northern winter kingdom, whose brother Jack and sister Margaret had been placed under house arrest in Ewen, were now invited to Adam by a fantasy that only the stupidest king could have come here himself.

The Duke of Aldington looked at the confused face of the proposed official and said, "But you have to add a sentence, just say that if the kingdom of Adam is busy, just let him send an envoy, I don't want to have only Jack the green ghost and his family present, making it look like we are bullying the northerners!"

Margaret didn't dare to be a little discouraged, she was already well versed in politics, and now she was just a tool and a gift, and only by marrying into the duke's palace could she keep her brother safe, and she could also give the kingdom of Cosse one more ally - unless Jack really did as he hinted at and could take her away from here on the wedding day! But such a thought only existed in Margaret's mind for a few days before disappearing without a trace, because it was impossible to achieve, and she also hinted at the other party not to act rashly when she visited Jack several times later. But Jack the Green Ghost didn't seem to notice her hint at all, and only smiled and said that Margaret must be dressed up on the wedding day and "get ready".

"My subordinates understand! Several nobles and ministers of the Kosai Kingdom want..."

"Idiot! I'm just asking you to put Adam's name on it!" Aldington continued to vent his anger, "Look at you, there is only one name of the border nobles of the Kingdom of Cosey in the whole list, they are the mother country of Margaret, don't you know these etiquette?" The etiquette that the Duke said was nothing more than a façade, and the official had already figured out his master's thoughts, and he quickly nodded his head to show that he understood.

Aldington clenched his fists to support his loose face, "Then delete the nobles of the East Oguna Empire, they are now at war with the Kosai Kingdom, do you think it is still the same as before?" "The Duchy of Noo is friendly with many countries on the mainland, and it is clear that he wants to win over other countries against the other two Duchies, the Oguna Empire has been friendly with the Duchy of Noo for a long time, but this time the Duke chose not to invite them. The other nobles present are well aware of the stakes, after all, the Duchy of Noao is only a two-faced, and the war between the Kingdom of Kosai and the East Oguna Empire will only be a weather vane, a sign that gives the Duchy of Noao a rudder.

One of the nobles said, "Lord Duke, I think it is appropriate to invite people from the other two principalities here, even if they don't send important people to the wedding, but they can show them the power of our marriage with the Winter Kingdom." ”

"That's right, this is our good opportunity, the Duchy of Deramain thinks that it has the backing of the Kingdom of Salins, and it has already been fighting hard to invade our borders, and recently they have found the lost Miss Christine, even the eldest prince Bradley..."

"Hmph! This is a sign that Draman is about to fall, because civil strife in the Kingdom of Sallins will soon arise! Dellaman and the Duchy of Mageni are also invited, but I have never seen some of the names of the people on them, such as this guy named Fidel. ”

A nobleman asked the official who was writing the list to open the roll of paper, and he looked at it himself, "Yes, why do you want to write the leader of this mercenary group as well?" the nobleman asked, pointing to "Field, the leader of the potato mercenary group".

"It's because... Because..."

At this moment, a man walked in from the gate of the palace, "I proposed to add it." Lord Luthers stried, first bowing slightly before his father, and then nodding to his fiancée.

The personable and gentle lord has not disgusted Margaret, and such a fiancé has also made Margaret give up the deepest resistance in her heart - if her love is really bound to politics, then it is also a lucky result to be tied to this gentle lord, right?

"Why is that?" the nobleman handed the list to Lord Luthers, "We have invited the heads of many domestic mercenary groups to attend the wedding, and we also want people from the mercenary union, this mercenary of the Duchy of Magini should be our enemy, right?"

Luthers nodded in affirmation of the other party's words before explaining: "Because this regimental leader named Fide was the first person who dared to speak out to the rebels, and his mercenary group also played an important role in the Battle of the River and the Battle of Doret, and now it has become the strongest mercenary group in Dumu City. And he was favored by the nobles of Fonta, the other principalities of Mageni, and invited him because I like to befriend heroes from all over the continent, and maybe I can take him for myself. ”

The Lord applauded the Duke of Aldington's explanation, "Very well! not my son of Aldington!

"Well, will there be too many mercenaries for our wedding?"

"Fidel is just one of them, and there are some other heads of regiments who will be invited here, of course, whether they will accept the invitation is another matter," Luthers touched his beard with his finger, "but this wedding with Princess Margaret is just the opportunity to show the strength of our country, and those mercenaries who regard wealth as their fate will definitely be attracted by the prosperity of our country!"

The other nobles immediately praised Luthus for his long-term vision and foresight, and Luthus only smiled, and such a humble attitude made Margaret feel very favorable. Although it was only the second time they met, Margaret had forgotten the rumors and she had even begun to imagine the wedding scene.

Aldington also smiled, "I'm afraid that you, as the groom, will not have time to take care of the leaders of other mercenary groups, and in addition to those mercenaries, there are also nobles and lords from all over the country who come to congratulate you, and they are also the ones you need to take care of!"

"So I'm going to postpone the actual wedding by a day so I can spend some time building relationships with these people. Luthers spoke his mind, and this idea was agreed by everyone present, after all, the future Lord of Evon will be Luthers, the eldest son of the Duke of Aldington, and since he is willing to choose to meet those who are able, this is also a blessing for the Duchy of No.

The Duke of Aldington put away his relieved expression, he looked at Suzanne and Margaret and said, "I see some names, such as Rutz. ”

As soon as the Duke said Lutz's name, everyone but Margaret frowned.

"I suggested it!" replied Suzanne with a calm expression.

"Rutz has been a member of the rebel group trying to cause turmoil for years, do you still think he will change his mind at the thought of our affection? You are so naïve—" Aldington's tone softened as she said this, and only Margaret did not know who they were talking about Luts.

"But he's still my brother... Luthers' brother!" Suzanne argued in a rare way in front of her father. It was then that Margaret vaguely remembered that there was a nobleman of the principality who had joined the rebels against his homeland, could it be what they called Rutz?

Luthers' expression darkened, and the other nobles kept silent, except for Aldington looking at his daughter, and Suzanne quietly staring at her father, and no one backed down.

"Well, he's my second son after all, so I'll send him out, but if he comes back, I'll definitely arrest him! The Duke then pointed to the official who was kneeling on the ground and shouted, "Why don't you do what Lord Luthers wants?"

The official was momentarily distracted, forgetting that he was being blamed, and he quickly turned around and tried to retreat outside the palace. He accidentally bumped into Luthers' clothes and pulled the other man's shirt.

At this moment, Margaret suddenly saw a pink shoulder strap on Luthus's shoulder, and the style looked like a woman's underwear! Luthus quickly tidied up her clothes, and the others did not notice this detail, but Margaret, who inadvertently saw the pink shoulder strap, immediately recalled the rumor- Luthus is a pervert who loves to collect women's clothes, there are many weird dolls in secret rooms, and he will even kill living women and then make them adult meat dolls, treating them as his sisters!
