Chapter Eighty-Seven: Two Things
Anthrite's words caused Princess Lannie to retreat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Since you have already agreed, forget it. I hope you all enjoy dancing. β
Although Princess Lannie wants to argue with Miss Pelos, she will lose the face of the royal family if she invites the dance to be too stubborn.
Looking at Lannie as she departed, Papitt cast a grateful glance at Anthrite.
"Don't get me wrong. If you are allowed to develop a relationship with the princess and become engaged, then your inheritance will naturally be unbreakable. That's what I don't want to see. β
Anthracene explained.
Reluctantly, she put her hand on Papitt's shoulder, ready to dance with him.
So, there was a strange sight of two guys in men's clothes dancing together in the hall.
But for whatever reason, the fact that Anthrite saved Papitt will not change.
Eric couldn't see through the sister, and he couldn't guess how much truth was in her words.
At the same time, Jusis, who was standing guard at the door, smiled with satisfaction.
With his extraordinary insight, he naturally would not let go of anything that happened in the hall.
In Jussi's view, the Pelos should be so united. Although Anthrite's actions are contrary to the will of the Duke.
But who cares about him? He wasn't interested in knowing how far the Duke had planned to let Papitt marry the princess of the kingdom, but he just wanted to respect Papitt's own decision.
Just as I was thinking, another guest arrived.
Halfway through the ball, the guests who arrive at this time are often busy people with high authority.
Seeing that the old ministry on the opposite side was about to salute, Jusis himself hurriedly bent down.
The swaggering gesture of the visitor rattled the armor.
Jusis tried to observe the visitor from the corner of his eye, but he was slammed back by a gaze from the other party. This made him a little flustered, and he quickly lowered his head.
Jusis knew the man.
The other party is his former subordinate, Char, the current leader of the city defense army.
Suddenly, Char stopped and stood at the gate.
Jusis held his breath in surprise. If his disguise as a guard is exposed, there will inevitably be a big problem. Maybe you'll even be stabbed in the hat.
What he didn't know was that Char's eyes were glancing at the back of his head at this time.
But in the end, it was just a glance. Char's stagnation was like a dragonfly, and after a few moments, she continued to move and stepped into the ballroom door.
It is unknown if he has discovered that this unnatural guard is his former boss.
Jusis finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What did Char do when she came to the royal ball? Jusis couldn't help but ask. He knew that this subordinate was just like himself a rough man who only knew how to fight, and was not good at elegant things like dancing.
In the ballroom, a piece of dance music is nearing the end.
Eric looked at the brother and sister who were working badly together in the field and laughed several times.
Maybe it's too difficult for them to finish a dance peacefully. Anthrite stepped on Papitt's feet more than ten times in the climax alone.
Unlike Inspector Edit, who danced badly, Antice didn't do it by mistake, it was clearly intentional.
In this regard, Papitt has no choice but to remain silent.
After a string of beautiful notes, he was finally freed from his nightmare.
As the men and women in the room thanked their dancing partners, Anthate parted ways from Papitt without looking back, and went back to the long table to get the cake.
It seems that in the world of anthracene, the meaning of the existence of cake is much greater than that of his brother.
After the pair had said goodbye, the Queen rose from her seat again.
"Now, I have two things to announce. β
The crowd fell silent.
"First things first, about the inheritance exam to be held in the near future......"
It's finally here.
Without modesty, this was completely expected by Eric.
If the royal family ball invited the upper class people of Oude, then the aristocratic guests this time were inevitably too young. There are quite a few rich businessmen.
And these nobles who are adults are probably the ones who will take the inheritance exam this year. The royal palace sent an invitation to these people, and it must have been to announce something at the ball.
"The item in this inheritance exam is firearm shooting. β
The news was like a high explosive, detonating in the crowd. For a moment, the faces of all the young nobles changed completely. The sound of gossip echoed through the ballroom.
Papitt and anthracene are not excluded either.
It can be said that this exam project is almost fatal for anthracene. Because Anthrite is as ignorant of firearms as Padit is about swordsmanship.
Although for Papit, this is good news. The marksmanship learned from Colt finally came in handy.
Eric clearly saw that the small fangs of anthracene even had a tendency to bite his lip.
God knows how long Anthracene worked hard for this exam, but in the end it was a failure.
Papitt tried to comfort Anthrite, but he knew that his presence would only make her angry, so he had to stop there.
At this moment, a knight in full armor walked to the queen's side from the periphery. It seems that this has been a long time coming.
The discussion suddenly became much quieter. Because judging from the armor system, it is not difficult to guess the identity of this person.
Knights of the Royal Round Table.
The queen stretched out her hand and introduced to everyone: "This is the examiner in charge of this exam, Char, the leader of our city defense army. β
Char nodded slightly, his expression serious.
The specific time and place of the exam will be notified by him. Here's the second thing. β
"My dear daughter Lanny is betrothed to Papit, the son of the Pelos family. β
Most people know about this in advance. It's just that the people who were present to know the truth of the disappearance couldn't help but worry about the princess's emotions. After all, she was so opposed to this marriage before.
They looked at Lannie and saw that she was just smiling.
It seems that the princess has changed her mind.
Although the people were dissatisfied with the Pelos, no one dared to question the queen's decision.
"Of course, Mr. Papitt will not be eligible to win my daughter until he passes the heir exam. β
The Queen added.
Papitt didn't expect that after the princess's disappearance, she still couldn't escape the arrangement of the elders.
Facing the eyes of the queen and the audience, he could only accompany the smiling face. After all, he now represents Pelos.
The young master of Pylos could not willfully say the word "no" on such an occasion. This is involuntary in the aristocratic family.
There is no way, Papitt can only hope that he can come up with a good countermeasure to put off the marriage.
But that's easier said than done.
Seeing Papitt in embarrassment, Eric suddenly figured it out. The protagonist of today's ball is the Pelos, not his boss Edith.
The queen announced two things. Exam Programs and Engagement Matters. They targeted anthralis and Papit, respectively.
It's just Odd's naked malice towards Pylos.
The queen has finally made the announcement.
At this point, Princess Lannie, whose name is mentioned, nods to her future fiancΓ©, leaving Papitt at a loss for what to do.
If you nod the same head, it may be misinterpreted as a sign of agreement. He just stood still.
That was misunderstood by everyone as shyness.
Princess Lannie had no intention of stopping, and her smile grew stronger as she stared at Papitt's pale face.
Eric looked at the smiling face, and his left eye suddenly ached sharply.
At the same time, the princess's smiling face slowly distorted and deformed in his vision.
It's like the air above boiling water.
It was the Alpha Eye warning Eric.
