No one could figure out how Duke did it, even the French Emperor Henry VII!

Forget about the people on the side of the Holy See, after all, they have their own rules of conduct, and it is difficult for outsiders to know. But Dumbledore, the chief magician of the royal family, Henry VII still knows very well, he has almost no contact with Duke Otto, and he is generally very low-key and secluded, how can he know this Duke, and even invite him?

It's just that Henry VII can't tell this question, because it is not his turn to know who Dumbledore wants to invite or who he has a relationship with. Because the status of magicians in this world is, in a sense, as transcendent as the Holy See, but they have not formed an organization like the Holy See.

As an archmagister, Dumbledore was almost at the level of a high-level archmagister one step away from the Holy Order. It was an honor for the royal family to be the royal chief magister at his level, not an official position that Dumbledore had begged for.

As long as Dumbledore is unhappy one day, he can leave the French Empire at any time, and there are many empires that want to invite him to the royal family. Even the Holy See would invite Dumbledore to be a guest magister, so it was too late for Henry VII to curry favor, how could he limit Dumbledore's behavior?

At this time, Henry VII's heart began to surge, he never believed that this was something that Duke could do, even if it was beyond Duke Otto's ability, but at least he still had this possibility, so was it Duke Otto who sent his son to stand up to him

Thinking of this, the expression on Henry VII's face became more and more gloomy, since Duke Otto had already challenged the royal authority so arrogantly, then he had to solve this hidden danger quickly.

After Duke sat down, he didn't notice the twists and turns in Henry VII's heart at all, because he didn't have the slightest interest in the grievances and hatreds between Duke Otto and Henry VII except when he used it, so he should eat and drink, and he could easily chat with Leonard and other bigwigs.

This is also Duke's biggest advantage, because he has never thought of relying on these bigwigs to climb up, but wants to replace him as the biggest power in the world. So in addition to his superficial respect, he actually doesn't have any psychological disadvantages, and he may stand on an equal footing and chat with these bigwigs.

Duke's open-minded behavior makes these bigwigs feel very comfortable, even a kind of appreciation. Because they have seen too many young people who are submissive, there is no way to say anything other than a cling, let alone sit down and chat without scruples like Duke to find a topic.

It can even be exaggerated to say that Bishop Leonard's previous move to add a seat and let Klose and them sit next to Andre, these guys really don't dare to sit down, let alone sit down directly like Duke.

Klose and the others stood aside at this time, and they who were originally the focus of this banquet could only look at Duke talking and laughing in embarrassment. In fact, it's not just them, the entire banquet hall, whether they know Duke or not, are almost all stunned, where can this guy actually talk to the cardinal's group of people?

Teucer's face was extremely blue at the moment, because his father had asked him to marry Princess Jina, and he had also communicated with His Majesty the Emperor. As a result, I didn't expect that this so-called younger brother not only completely ignored his father's orders, but even became the bishop of this banquet, but he was an accompaniment.

You must know that Teucer has never taken this younger brother seriously, even if he knows that Duke has already achieved something in Stormcastle, he still thinks that it is just luck, and it is completely incomparable to an elite like himself.

All of this was like a hot slap in Toucer's face, and he even felt that the eyes around him were full of ridicule and contempt. Under this psychological pressure, Teucer had no choice but to turn around and return to his previous seat, and then drank a glass of stuffy wine.

With Teucer taking the lead, the remaining aristocratic elites naturally didn't have the face to continue to stand like this, and returned to their previous seats one after another. In an instant, the lively scene in the banquet hall was extinguished by Duke alone.

But in this banquet hall, there is another person who looks at Duke with different eyes, and this person is Princess Jina. She had a happy smile on her face from the moment Duke appeared, and until Duke talked to the big guys, Gina never took her eyes off Teucer.

Perhaps Duke's actions were first shocked in the hearts of others, then suspicious, and finally probably attributed to Duke Otto. But Princess Gina is sincerely happy for Duke, because only she knows what Duke has experienced step by step, he has not received the slightest help from Duke Otto, and he can achieve today's position, completely on his own!

After Leonard chatted with Duke for a few words, he suddenly remembered that the highlight of today's banquet was not to welcome any new students of the martial arts academy, but to choose a future husband for Princess Kina. In addition, he felt that Duke was very much to his liking, and it would be good to establish him as his spokesman for secular power.

So at this time, Leonard turned his head to look at Henry VII and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I see that Viscount Duke is young and talented, and his identity and achievements are very good, and he is very suitable for Princess Jina, or Your Majesty the Emperor, you will consider marrying Jina to Duke?"

As the spokesperson of the Holy See in the French Empire, Leonard has a noble status, so he doesn't have so many twists and turns in his speech, and directly says what he thinks in his heart. After all, Duke's title and territory are too small, and if he wants to become the spokesperson of his worldly power, he must expand his strength.

And Duke is only Otto's youngest son, inheriting the title or something is definitely no play, becoming the princess's husband will be a rapid path to promotion, and it is also in line with Leonard's retirement age of less than ten years.

When Leonard said this, the room instantly fell silent, and everyone wanted to hear Henry VII's reply. And after Duke heard Leonard's words, he also looked at Ji Na who was sitting opposite him, he had never dared to look at Ji Na before, and he could even avoid her eyes, after all, the two had no feelings before, and they often talked about it, it can be said that friendship is far more than love.

But it is this relationship that can take a sudden turn, and Duke suddenly feels that he doesn't know how to deal with Princess Jena. It's like a friend who's known for many years suddenly wants to be assigned a marriage, Duke doesn't know how Gena is, but he feels very uncomfortable.
