"Wow! so cute!" Duke Yannis took out a pure white little milk dog from a lace gift box, the little milk dog had not fully opened its eyes, and the fur on its body was not thick, but it already knew how to lick Duke Yannis's fingers with its little pink tongue, "Lord Baron, your gift to me is so cute and interesting!"

The little duke's exclamation just now made everyone look at Yannis, who was still intimate with the puppy as the leader of a country, completely ignoring the other nobles who were still waiting for their birthday gifts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Fide and some of the participants in the room all had the same idea - can this still childish boy really be able to maintain stability in the Principality of Magini, which is now troubled by external and internal troubles?

Feder took out the invitation letter signed by the Duke of Yannis, and looked at the childish handwriting and words again, and it seemed that the person who wrote the letter could really be the boy.

The Duke of Yannis was surrounded by many nobles in the middle, and Madame Dalty, who sat next to the Duke of Yannis, was as calm as water, she could easily deal with all kinds of flattering nobles, and when some nobles wanted to inquire about something when they wanted to borrow gifts, or when there was something to say, Madame Dalty did not relax in the slightest, she just used the most polite words as a long sword, and smiled and silence as a shield.

Fidel finally heard about the rebels from the mouth of a nobleman, but Madame Doulty only lightly stated that the Duchy of Mageni was full of talents, and that such military issues would be dealt with by the Military Academy of the Peace Grave, not at the Duke of Yanis's birthday party.

Later, Fide learned that the military power of the Principality of Mageni was held by the Military Academy of the Peaceful Grave, and all the people who served as officers and generals in the Principality of Mageni came out of the Military Academy of the Peaceful Grave.

"Captain Fidel, what are you going to give our Duke Yannis?" Viscount Lawrence returned to the crowd after delivering the prepared gift.

"I've already sent it, it's a pair of armor. ”

Viscount Lawrence shook his head gently, and his big belly shook with him, "Our duke's least favorite thing is to dance with knives and guns, he is a duke who loves the people like a son and has a kind heart! ”

The other nobles echoed this, and most of them chose some good-looking, soft, and small gifts for Duke Yannis, but Feder didn't see anyone giving away weapons, and the pure white little milk dog was obviously Duke Yannis's favorite.

For Fett, the time of the dinner passed very slowly, and the words of compliments and boasting were offensive, but it was the custom of the nobles to wear a fake mask, and everyone knew that. Fentry didn't take the initiative to talk to Duke Yannis and Lady Dowdy, and with the exception of Viscount Lawrence, there weren't many nobles who took the initiative to talk to Fed. Yu Tian, the mercenary leader with the same status as herself, stood by the fence on the second floor, quietly looking at the first floor of the banquet hall, it seemed that this female mercenary would really protect the little duke as she said.

Just as some of the nobles began to disperse, there was a uniform sound of footsteps in the direction of the gate. Dozens of well-armed guards stood on either side of the gate, and a nobleman in a light blue cloak and a silver-plated scepter propped up the ground walked through the door. The people in the banquet hall immediately bowed to the older nobleman, and even Madame Doulty immediately took Duke Yannis's hand and walked towards the man.

"Father!" Duke Yannis threw the little milk dog aside and hurried towards the man, who also spread his hands and bent slightly to hug the other. Fide had already guessed that the man with the wrinkles on his face was the old duke of the Duchy of Magini.

"I'm a year older again, time flies so fast," the old Duke of Yannis was tall, with bright eyes, and didn't look like two fathers and sons like the little duke, "What gifts did you receive today?"

"There are so many beautiful gifts! I love them all!"

Madame Dourty put her arm around the old duke, "Come, sit down first, today is our son's birthday party, and the guests who have come from all over the country are very good to our son, so you can also come and see those exquisite gifts." ”

Old Yannis nodded, he took the wine glass handed by the manservant, and glanced at the guests present, "You have come from afar to celebrate my child's birthday, I only thank you on behalf of the Peace Grave Military Academy!" The others picked up their glasses, but one of the nobles did not hold the glass, and the glass full of wine fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered to the ground.

Everyone looked at the careless nobleman, and Old Yannis let go of the little duke's hand and walked in front of the nobleman.

"These fine wines should not be wasted, as a nobleman of the country, you should know the harm of waste..."Old Yannis could finish speaking, the nobleman who was already with fear on his face quickly fell to the ground, and began to lick the wine that was spilled on the ground with his tongue, even if his tongue was scratched by the broken glass, he did not dare to raise his head or squeak, but silently licked the wine on the floor.

The other nobles held their glasses steady, and no one dared to say a word, until Old Yannis nodded in satisfaction, and the nobleman lying on the ground picked up the broken glass with his hand and slowly retreated to the side of the banquet hall.

"My child, you also have to be a thrifty leader, and you must not waste your hard-won things, remember?" Old Yannis looked at Little Yanis with kind eyes, and the little Duke immediately nodded in understanding.

This episode changed the atmosphere of the banquet a lot, and most of the nobles who had been talking loudly paid attention to their words and actions, and even the greedy Viscount Lawrence did not dare to pick up those delicate snacks anymore, as if they were afraid that they would be punished if the slightest crumb fell on the ground.

Where Fed was standing, he could hear the conversation between Old Yannis and the other nobles, most of whom had to do with the Peace Grave Military Academy. Fei De began to suspect that the former ruler of the Mageni Principality had only taken a back seat on the surface, and in fact was still directing the operation of the entire Mageni Principality as the head of the Military Academy, after all, the son who was so much younger than him could not take on the big responsibilities and convince the public.

But Fett could understand why the old duke did this, because the Duchy of Mageni would one day be in the hands of little Yanis, which is why old Yannis was always full of love when he looked at his young son.

"Where are the scholars of Decree City?" Feder heard Old Yannis ask a nobleman.

"They should have been caught by the rioters, but it is possible that they will remain in the Decree Library, after all, they are no threat to anyone. ”

Old Yannis cupped his forehead with a distressed expression, "If there is news from the old scholars, I want to inform me as soon as possible, I don't want to lose any of them." ”

Until the end of the birthday dinner, Fed did not come up to speak to Old Yanis, Little Yanis, or Mrs. Doorty. Except for making eye contact with Old Yannis and being looked at by the other party on his armor, Fidel has been standing not far away, occasionally "eavesdropping" on the conversations of the most powerful people in the Duchy of Magini.

When he returned to his room, Feder found that he had achieved nothing tonight, and that it was possible for her to increase her popularity and connections by participating in such an occasion, but she did not expect to be a spectator for one night—except for the active conversation between Viscount Lawrence and his friends, Feder was not much different from a pillar the rest of the time, and it was also black.

Socializing is a real hassle. Feder thought as he opened the book that Maev had given him, this book did have relevant guidance, but Feder still couldn't use the above knowledge, it was too difficult to be in the same room with these first-class nobles, and it was even more difficult to make himself smile and say something against his will.

"Captain Fidd, I'm Zebuba," Fidra opened the door, and the other party was standing outside the door, "I have been ordered by Madame Dourty to ask Captain Fede to come to the palace tomorrow morning. ”

"Mrs. Dorty... What's the reason?"

Zebuba shook his head, "I don't know, but Your Excellency the Regiment Commander can dress casually and carry weapons." ”

It wasn't until Fett closed the door that the image of Mrs. Dorty popped out of his mind. Madame Doorty was an elegant noblewoman, she had been taking care of the little duke, and she was also good at dealing with the nobles attending the meeting, until the old Yannis came to the banquet hall, and Madame Doorty was the controller of the birthday party.

Fei De guessed that the reason why the other party invited him into the palace had something to do with his identity, and maybe the head of the rainy day who lived next door was also invited.

Sure enough, as Fed expected, early the next morning, Zebuba came to Feide's door, and the head of the rainy day, who was still wearing the same clothes, was already standing behind Zebuba.

"Here, please, two captains. Zebuba just sent the two to the palace, and a knight-like man continued to guide the two in place of Zebuba.

The walking posture of walking with the same hands and feet on a rainy day made Phyd almost feel the same hands and feet, "You like to use two-handed swords." Rainy Sky looked straight ahead and said.

"Hmm," Feder glanced at Rainy Day, who didn't see any weapons on him, "Where will your Rain Mercenary Regiment be stationed?"

"There are places where I am needed, such as the current Decree City. ”

"My mercenary group is in Tower City. ”

"Are you suggesting to me not to enter your sphere of influence easily?"

Feder looked back on the way into the palace, the palace of the Duchy of Magini was magnificent, with tall stone pillars and wide windows everywhere, "It doesn't mean that, you and I are both mercenaries in the service of the Duchy of Magini." ”

"I have only served the Duke of Yannis, and I have no intention of serving those nobles who are full of bad water. ”
