1 [Council of the Ducal Castle]1

The day after the Tavern Alley incident, the Ducal Chamber Room.

The room that doubles as a conference room is not small, and the brown wooden table in the center is equipped with a total of 21 chairs, ten on the left and ten on the right, and the main seat is placed at the end away from the door of the conference room, which together occupies less than a quarter of the floor space of the conference room.

The tables and chairs were all made by Reed recently, and at this time there was still a fresh smell of new wood, which was mixed with the smell of wine, milk, rouge, perfume, fireworks, and various body odors, and blended into an extremely complex taste, which meant lively taste.

Maybe...... This was the last time the head of the Iris Knight would do this in his life, after all, the die-hard who would break his chair every time he came had jumped off the inner city wall, turned into a fat bird that wanted to fly but couldn't fly, and fell into a lump of fat soaked in blood.

It seems that in the entire Luolong City, there is no second person who is so fat.

At least none of the people who are eligible to enter this room.

Now sitting on the main seat is the lord of Luolong City, usually the Duke will put the small meeting in the study, the same is true of the big meeting, there are only two situations here, one is that the study is really not stuffed, and the other is that there are representatives of the Flower or Wood family among the participants, and today both situations are accounted for.

In addition to the people of the three major families, many small and medium-sized families below have been invited to appoint representatives to come over, the chair is definitely not enough, many people are standing behind the chairs on both sides, waiting quietly, if they are all like the people sitting on the chairs, each whispering to the person next to them, then the excitement in the conference room should not be so strong.

The Duke had been holding this posture for a long time, [facing the steaming cup of goat's milk in front of him, with a tense face and not knowing what he was thinking], perhaps listening, listening to the gossip around him that had nothing to do with the topic of the day.

The meeting had clearly not yet begun, although the scheduled time had long since passed.

Waiting is necessarily annoying, but in fact, for people like them, simple facial expressions have been completely separated from thinking, whether it is laughing or angry, it seems to be real and fake.

Behind him, there were six or seven fleur-de-lis knights standing as straight as javelins, and the knights all wore a golden fleur-de-lis insignia on their chests, the size of their lips, and under the background of silver armor, they were extremely eye-catching, the main body was warm and thick, and the sharp corners were sharp, which made people unconsciously think of the strongest shield and the sharpest blade.

Viscount Mahoney Erwin, who sat at the bottom, seemed to be intrigued, and would glance at it from time to time, and then continue to look sideways at Lady Davina Wood, who was beside her, and whisper to her.

The dame sat upright and took a small sip of a black liquid called coffee, which had only recently become popular on the upper floors, and at this moment her carefully drawn crescent moon brow would furrow slightly, and it was surprisingly beautiful to say whether she was enjoying or enduring.

One of these two is the brother of Earl Erwin, who exercises all the rights and obligations in Luolong City on behalf of the Erwin family, and the other is a new representative who replaces the bald fat man, representing the Wood family, one is at the most manly age, and the other is still charming, they are of similar status, similar clothes, at first glance, they really look like a couple.

“...... Hehe...... That's right, but," Mahoney smiled softly as he gently pushed the cup and milk jug in front of the dazzle, "you try this, add two spoonfuls of sugar and a spoonful of milk, and the bitterness will become more acceptable, the fragrance will increase, and there will be a silky sensation." ”

"Huh?"

"What, don't you believe it?"

The dame shook her head with a smile and casually pushed the silver cup between the two of them, "No, I'm just surprised and curious about what you saw." ”

"...... this?"

"Please add it for me, it's a gentleman's obligation, isn't it. ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, Mahoney raised his forehead and smiled, smiling and fulfilling his "gentleman's duty", and continued to smile, "Actually, I personally just like to try some new things, I think people must change in order to prove that they are alive, otherwise if it is the same today as yesterday, it will not be in vain?"

The dame smiled skillfully, and Mahoney added, "So as soon as it appeared in the auction house, I bought some and came back to study it, and I have to say, after drinking it twice, you will find that bitterness is not a blemish in this liquid that gives strength and enthusiasm, but a perfect embellishment." ”

"Uh-huh," the dame raised her glass again, raising her eyebrows and bowing her head, her smile tinged with a hint of intoxication and eagerness, "I see." ”

"Really?"

"Hehe......"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and continued to chat.

Opposite them, Marquis, who was leisurely shaking the wine in his glass, was also smiling, and he kept inhaling the aroma of the wine to hide the increasingly strong smell of various perfumes and fats in the air, only occasionally choosing a breath interval to look at his uncle who looked like a peacock on the screen.

Adjacent to it was Finn, who also did not touch his lips, and the Viscount was ostensibly staring at the bright red cup in a daze, but the rest of his eyes were actually observing the expressions of the delegates attending the meeting.

In contrast, Oliver Orr, as the representative of Flore, is not very relaxed, and there are two main topics to be discussed today, one is [the formulation of the advance army overseer, generals, and regimental commanders].

In fact, there is the Dongcheng Army as an example, and there is not much to discuss on this first topic, it is nothing more than to sit in a row and divide the fruits, and before that, Swanti and Erwin had already occupied a lot of positions in the Dongcheng Army, no matter how you look at it this time, it should be the turn of Flower and Wood to take the lion's lead.

Originally, the second topic was placed tomorrow, but yesterday afternoon there was another "tavern alley incident", 11 city guard soldiers were killed on the street, and the impact was extremely bad.

But for the Flore and Wood families, there is a bigger problem.

- Shane and Laird are late!

Oliver's face was depressed, and he desperately wanted to exchange opinions with Davina, who was wearing a low-cut black winter dress and revealing two large snowy peaks, but people only cared about eye-to-eye with Mahoney's old peacock eyebrows, what was the situation?

Anyway, when did this woman's breasts become so tall and round?!

......

Ahem, it's still that bald fat man who is reliable, but that guy is willing to turn into a bird that dies on the ground than to walk down the city wall!

Suicide?

Why would you commit suicide if you live a good life, you drank a lot of wine before you died, and you were so happy!

Murder?

It couldn't be, there was only a fat man, two soldiers, and a four-legged square table on that section of the city wall at that time, and one of the soldiers personally confirmed that as soon as the table trembled, the person jumped down, so it should have been a pure accident?

By the way, when it comes to this, Shane and Laird haven't even come at the moment, don't the others think that if these two things are put together, it's more than a coincidence?!

However, after sweeping around, Oliver began to suspect that he was attending an entertainment meeting, except for Lance, who had been gently tapping his toes and gently venting his nervousness since entering the arena, the others did not show the anxiety they should have, and now what kind of criteria are these small and medium-sized families following in their selection?

For example, the guy on the opposite side who seemed to be called Corbett, was a vigorous, young and vigorous age, but his head hung down, his face was vain, sometimes he yawned secretly, and sometimes peeked at the silver cup that Davina held in front of his chest with both hands, but looking at the appearance, his focus must have crossed the cup and fell on the abrupt and delicate appearance of the dame.

The peeking person had probably noticed this, but Davina suddenly looked sideways at the peeping and raised the cup that overlapped her chest, "Sir Corbett, do you have any research on this?"

Corbett, who was dodging his eyes, hurriedly said no, probably a little unsure of what the "this" in the other party's mouth meant, the dame smiled and looked at him deeply before retracting her gaze.

This charming gaze almost made a large number of guys standing straight on Corbett's side break the work, and the happiness obtained by pushing down the opposite sex is actually not pure, because the ** that gave birth to this happiness is actually complex in structure, and if you want to sort it out, it can be roughly divided into two categories, one is physiological needs, and the other is psychological needs, and conquering a graceful and sexy and charming dame can obviously elevate the latter to an extremely wonderful situation.

At that moment, they probably saw some kind of whimsical level possibility, or some kind of delusion, and they were all stunned.

Ulysses and Lawrence, who stood almost against the wall, were obviously among them, the two little nobles, one with a sharp beak and a monkey gills, who were said to have spent all their savings to get in, and a flat-headed, square-faced, who had just made a meritorious service, and the chosen person of the family happened to hang up again, which was simply two vigorous and upward streams.

......

The weather was cold, and the white smoke that wafted from the wooden cup containing the goat's milk faded, and when it faded to a certain extent, the Duke reached out and raised the wooden cup, and slowly brought it to his lips, seeing this, Reed also closed his mouth that had just been opened, and swallowed the reminder back.

Seeing that the cup of goat's milk with just the right temperature was about to be drunk, the Duke suddenly turned his head to the head of the Iris Knight and said solemnly, "Let's take a look, has the guy sent out come back?" ”

"Yes. ”

Reed turned and walked away, but as soon as he turned into the back hallway, the Duke immediately looked in Finn's direction, and winked.

Marquis, who was sandwiched between the two, was stunned, completely confused, and just as he was about to ask, Finn had already leaned on the table with a helpless face, and handed the wine glass in his hand to his Lao Tzu, and then took the goat's milk from the other party's hand.

Marquis watched as the father and son raised their glasses and touched them lightly, tilting their necks and drinking.

“......”

“......”

The participants who saw this scene stopped talking, all of them were a little confused, and the fleur-de-lis knights looked at each other, bowed their heads and sighed.

Goo-goo......

Finn, after all, was young, and drank mild goat's milk, and drank the empty cup in three or two sips, and the ones wrapped in his cheeks were things that could be swallowed in one bite.

But at this moment, the sound of the door opening, followed by Reed's surprised question.

"Miss Amy?Ae—you can't go in, there's ...... inside."

With a few clicks of iron boots stomping on the ground, a figure in silver armor had already entered the inexplicably quiet conference room from the back aisle of the door.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Poof!"

Finn couldn't help it immediately, and hurriedly turned his head sideways, but he still sprayed Marquis all over his head, and a strange muffled snort that burst into his mouth but was choked by death instantly sounded around him.

There were no servants here, and Marquis and Finn hurriedly took out the white handkerchief they had brought with them to wipe themselves.

Although they looked very embarrassed, these two people, like O-Net, obviously didn't take their embarrassment seriously at all, they only had surprise in their eyes but not embarrassment, and their eyes were not looking at the head of the Iris Knight who always had a stiff face, but the silver-white figure in the front.

Mahoney, who was nearby, put away a gentle smile on her face, and just as she had begun to lean towards Davina's upper body at some point, the dame put down the cup in her hand and sat upright, her full upper circumference pressed against the long table, and the two snow-white clouds were about to gush out, but she still didn't seem to know it.

Oliver kept a superficial smile on his head, trying not to let the belly slander leak out of his heart, but the attention gathered on Amy was always distracted by the deep groove in the afterglow and the dark fragrance that kept burrowing into his nose.

“...... Damn, this smells ...... How can this woman be so attractive today......" At the same time, Oliver silently raised his glass and took a sip of the contents of the glass, so as not to swallow too abruptly.

And the whole table behind these people, as well as a large number of people standing on both sides, also turned into a silent crowd of melon-eaters, unreservedly dedicating their gaze.

The pearl of the Erwin family is always so dazzling.

At first glance, Amy's appearance of his long hair curled up and only two bangs in front of his forehead gives a refreshing feeling, and in addition, there is a strong sense of contrast.

Is it in contrast to its [originally intellectually beautiful face suddenly added a bit of heroism]?

No, it obviously has nothing to do with appearance.
