Even in such a dreamlike kingdom, the meeting of the two dukes revealed some signs of undercurrent surging. When Edward and Fisher met in the banquet hall, the young princess of the Heiberg family took off her gloves with a smile and stretched out her right hand to the other: "The Grand Duke of Fisher's body is still as strong as before, so there is no need to worry about the successor." β
It is a well-known fact that Duke Fisher's only son left Shakdam, and as the Grand Duke grew old, some interested people also became concerned about the succession of the Slark family.
The old man calmly held Edward's hand, and his tone was gentle with a hint of solemnity: "The affairs of the Slark family are not bothered by you, the head of the Heiberg family, I advise you to care about your own life events." β
Although there are many admirers, Edward has long been aware of the things that belong to him. However, the daughter of another of the three major dukes' families, who was confessed by him, rejected him without hesitation.
Vera explained in a whisper, "Lord Fisher has always had a political disagreement with Lord Edward. β
Lin Qiu had also heard some clues in the chats of the maids before, Edward was a well-known radical, and his ideas were incompatible with the conservative Grand Duke Fisher. Even so, the young and handsome new Grand Duke is still very popular among the maids of the Slark family.
Vera also said that neither His Majesty Reinhardt nor Princess Rose would show up until the end of the Square event.
Lin Qiu and Anna sat next to these two grand dukes who were arguing with each other as soon as they met, and they were about to commit embarrassment. However, these two grand dukes were unconscious, and in front of many VIPs and servants, they chattered like two elementary school students. Fisher's calmness and restraint in Lin Qiu's mind were gone.
"I suggest you go out and have a fight. β
Lin Qiu pondered for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't put forward this simple and easy suggestion.
The table was so full of delicacies that Anna had to hold JΓΆrmunga in her arms, in case the little thing ran over to the table and swept it away while they weren't looking. Lin Qiu listened to the two grand dukes arguing for a while in boredom, and the sudden commotion finally interrupted their-for-tat.
"It's Lord Fernans!"
The servants were the first to call out the name of the last of the three dukes. Since he was in charge of all the day-to-day affairs of Shakdam, Archduke Fernans held a high position in the hearts of the people of Shakdam. After making sure that the affairs in the square were in order, he finally came to the hall with peace of mind.
This thin, tall, and energetic old man walked ahead of all the servants, and when he passed by Lin Qiu's position, he was suddenly stunned: "New face?"
Lin Qiu could see from the frowning brows of the Grand Duke of Fernans that he didn't seem to be very happy, just when Lin Qiu wondered if he had provoked this old man, the other party's face suddenly changed, and he held his hand tightly and laughed: "Not bad, yes, looking at your dress, you should be the heir of the Slark family." β
As soon as this sentence came out, the hall was slaughtered.
Some of the nobles who believed in the words of Grand Duke Fernans also began to look at the boy in the cyan uniform again, and it is true that in Shakdam, only those who have the weight of the Slark family are entitled to wear the cyan aristocratic dress.
Even Lin Qiu's face stiffened for a few seconds, and with just one sentence, he felt that he had changed from a nobleman who no one cared about to the object of the nobles' intention to hate or woo him.
"You're really funny, Lord Fernans, I'm just a knight who met Archduke Fisher by chance. β
Grand Duke Fernans laughed and waved his hand: "You can't hide it from me, that old man Fisher must have brought you here with the intention of training you to be his successor." β
I'm here to find my wife!
Archduke Fernans's words completely convinced all the nobles present that he was the future successor of the Slark family, and even Edward stopped arguing and looked at him with a sense of assessment. Lin Qiu was almost so angry with this raunchy old man that he jumped up: "Grand Duke Fisher brought me here because I have something to ask for Your Majesty. β
Archduke Fernans looked at him and laughed again: "Yes, yes, I almost got tricked by you." But perhaps you didn't even notice it yourself, but you have the air of a successor to the Slark family all over you! Tell me how Archduke Fisher introduced me to you?"
Lin Qiu wanted to cry without tears, he didn't understand why this old man he didn't know was so stubborn at this point, he couldn't wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River now. It wasn't that he hadn't seen such a stubborn old man, so he also understood that no matter how much he argued, it would be useless, so he could only skip this sensitive topic: "Archduke Fisher said that you are his old friend, one of the three dukes of Shakdam, symbolizing ......"
He was so preoccupied with his successor that he forgot about the important introduction in the book for a while.
Slark symbolizes the cyan heritage, the highberg symbolizes the red heritage, and Fernans-Moberdi is the ......
For some reason, the knowledge of the three primary colors that he had learned in junior high school appeared strangely in Lin Qiu's mind, so he patted his head and said, "That's right, you are the Duke of Green, Fernans-Moberdi!"
As he spoke, the smile on Archduke Fernans's face froze, and the hall fell silent, even Edward and Fisher glared at him in astonishment.
I don't know how long it took for the Grand Duke of Fernans to slowly speak: "I am indeed Fernans-Moberdi, but if I remember correctly, I should be the Duke of Silver." β
Lin Qiu couldn't remember how he spent his time later, Edward and Fisher stopped arguing, Edward lay on his arm with his head bored, and judging from his trembling movements, it was not difficult to find that the young Grand Duke had been snickering. The aristocrats at the venue also looked like they wanted to laugh but couldn't.
Shakdam has never had a green duke, let alone a green heritage. However, judging from Archduke Fisher's face, he was about to transition from the Duke of Green to the Duke of Green - Archduke Fernans did not pursue Lin Qiu's intentions, but after taking his seat, he kept secretly sending throwing knives to his old friend with his eyes.
In his opinion, the name of the Duke of Midori must have been told to the boy by Fisher.
Fisher had a bitter word, and he felt that he was inexplicably carrying a black cauldron. But he couldn't get up and argue for himself, and Fenance, who was called the Duke of Green, didn't say anything, and if he jumped up now, he would have a feeling that there was no silver three hundred taels here.
"Huh, why are you so quiet today?"
Seeing that someone was round, Lin Qiu, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that because of his momentary gaffe, the two Grand Dukes staged a scene of old age fighting on Princess Rose's birthday.
Edward raised his head, his face flushed, and said to the middle-aged man who had just come in through the door: "Because this kid just called Fernans the Duke of Green, you should really look at Fernans's expression at that time - poofhahaha!"
Lin Qiu felt that this person was simply poisonous, just this sentence had already made him laugh for a quarter of an hour, it seemed that the new master of the Haiberg family was not only at the same level as a primary school student in terms of quarrels, but even the laughter was similar to that of a primary school student.
After Edward said this, Fernans's face darkened a little.
"The winner of the contest has been chosen, and the dinner ...... begun"
"Come on, Reinhardt!"
What everyone didn't expect was that before Reinhardt could finish speaking, a man dressed as a clown among the ten suddenly let out a loud shout, took out a dagger from the wide clown suit, and stabbed Reinhardt.
