Chapter 186: Philo

"And this kind of thing..."

"But there's another rumor..."Mrs. Mayo suddenly remembered something, and took her daughter's hand very strictly, and her voice was extremely small: "Of course, it's just a rumor, don't talk about it everywhere... The previous ceremonial officer made a feud with Sreta for smashing the shop and killing his nephew, but I heard that Sreta was also angry with the previous ceremonial officer..."

Mel nodded, listening intently.

"Her Majesty was forced to remove him from his post because of the resentment caused by the previous ceremonial officer, and it is rumored that everything that happened was controlled behind the back by the little girl named Sleta..."

"What?!" Mel thought she had misheard, and her voice couldn't help but be loud, and she quickly blushed when she noticed that the people next to her were looking at her.

Mrs. Mayo pulled her daughter's hand hard: "What are you yelling about! I said it was a rumor, but it wasn't necessarily true... It's just that the reason why everyone guesses so much is because Her Majesty is preparing too quickly. It stands to reason that the previous ceremonial officer was removed due to an emergency, and the Torah was the fastest to make a move, after all, they were too numerous to discuss in private. Her Majesty wanted to prepare for these things, and she had to summon the old-fashioned nobles to the court, and it was no easier than the Torah. ”

"Mother said earlier that Her Majesty has a fierce rivalry with the Torah because of her position as an ceremonial officer..."

"That's right... It's normal for Her Majesty to want to compete for the position of ceremonial officer and leave it to herself, but fighting to this extent is really not like Her Majesty's style before... Therefore, everyone speculated that Her Majesty had been prepared for a long time, and that the removal of the previous ceremonial officer may have been part of Her Majesty's plan. ”

At this moment, Mel suddenly remembered what Sreta had said to her at the beginning, and it couldn't help but echo in her head.

"If your father, Count Mayo, is able to serve as an ceremonial officer, then you must thank me. ”

...

I said, why did the little girl say this, it turned out that the previous ceremonial officer was taken away by her own hands! And the position of ceremonial officer is vacant, if it is really her own father's position, then it is indeed thanks to this little girl named Sleta!

What Mrs. Mayo was still saying later, Mel couldn't hear clearly, the whole person's mind was a little muddy, she didn't expect that the little girl who had just chatted with her was such a ruthless person, you must know that Sreta doesn't even look like she is 15 years old.

A girl at such a young age can already secretly deal with others in the political arena?!

Just when Mel was in a daze, it was finally their turn to say hello to the Mayo family.

After all, the Count is also a figure in the pyramid of the kingdom, so even if he waits, he doesn't have to wait long.

Count Mayo first greeted Xenia very respectfully, and then introduced the family behind him.

"This is Mayo's wife and daughter. ”

When Mrs. Mayo stepped forward to salute, Mel came back to her senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to solemnly lift the hem of her skirt, and bowed her body to salute: "The Supreme King, Gui'an! I am the daughter of Count Mayo, and my name is Mel." May the king be in good health and the fortunes of the kingdom prosperous. ”

Xenia looked at Mel and just nodded, and quickly turned her gaze to Mayo.

Sleta looked at Mel with an eyebrow, and Mel got up to find that Sleta was wincing at herself, and Mel, who was already easy to laugh, almost laughed again, but fortunately she was able to hold back.

"Count Mayo, among the candidates for the post of ceremonial officer, you are my favorite. ”

Mayo's face was a little excited, but he didn't expect Her Majesty to affirm herself in public: "Everything is arranged by Her Majesty, your orders are the guidance of heaven, Mayo has no hesitation!"

Xenia was also much more beautiful when she heard this: "I heard that your daughter is about to get engaged to the son of the Marquis of Fix?"

Mayo took a deep breath and said calmly, "Marquis Fix and I do have this idea..."

And the Marquis of Fix was standing near Her Majesty, he took a step forward slightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time I want to take advantage of this tea party for the two young people to meet and see how the two get along. If it's okay, it's ready to be filmed today. ”

Xenia raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

"Don't come forward yet?" Marquis Fix beckoned back, and everyone saw a young nobleman standing behind him: "Come forward and say hello to Her Majesty!"

"Yes, Father!"

The young nobleman appeared in the eyes of the crowd and came to Her Majesty the Queen, standing beside Mel.

He has a slender figure, a handsome face, and some feminine eyes, but he has a little beauty, but he doesn't match handsome.

"Your Majesty, my name is Philo, and the Marquis of Fixx is my father!" Philo was visibly nervous, and his eyes were very wandering, not daring to look at Xenia or Mel beside him.

Fix was a little angry when he saw that his son's performance was a little unsatisfactory.

But Xenia didn't care about this, smiled and waved her hand: "It's okay, you don't have to think about it too much on my side, it's better for your mind to focus on this girl named Mel next to you!"

Saying this, Philo couldn't help but look up at Mel beside him, and when he saw that Mel was looking at himself unscrupulously, his face immediately turned red and he lowered his head again.

Mel saw that although Philo was shy and not bold enough, but Philo was not bad-looking, she was a little satisfied with this! Before she came, she was worried that her future husband would be a dead fat man, ugly and the like, but now she is half relieved.

As for the emotional aspect, you don't have to think much about it, this is the case with political marriages, as long as the temperament of both people is not bad, they will live a very harmonious life in the future, and feelings can be cultivated slowly.

Especially seeing Philo so shy, it made Mel's heart itch, and he wanted to tease the 'fiancΓ©' in front of him, because he didn't look like a man with a temper problem.

Seeing this topic, Mayo was a little embarrassed, his eyes rolled, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: "Mel just returned to the capital from the Academy of Magic these days, and I don't hide it from Her Majesty, Mel and Miss Bettina are also good friends, and the two have been together for a few years. ”

Hearing Betina's name, Xenia couldn't help but be very interested, the few friends in her life were the saint and Betina, but she didn't expect that the girl in front of her who was about to marry the son of the Marquis of Fix was actually good friends with Betina.

"Oh?" said Xenia, looking at Mel this time, "You're good friends with Betina?"

Mel knew that his father brought this incident up to bring the Mayo family closer to Her Majesty, after all, everyone knew that Bettina was Her Majesty's childhood friend and playmate.

"Back to Her Majesty, I am indeed good friends with Bettina. I first got to know Bettina when I first entered school, and my dormitory happened to be next door to Betina. ”

"How's she doing?"

"Bettina is in good health. Mel smiled softly and looked up at Xenia: "Bettina also talks to me a lot about Her Majesty, and she is also worried about your health. ”

"Is it..."Xenia sighed a little, she thought of something and asked: "What is the relationship between Bettina and Xu Mu?"
