Henry VII was very hesitant at the moment, because it was clear from Leonard's words that he was supporting Duke. But it was precisely because he supported Duke that Henry VII was even more wary of Duke, because he suspected that there was Otto's shadow behind it.

And now that Otto's two sons have formed their own forces, if Duke, who is known as a straw bag, is allowed to develop, isn't it a tiger to raise?

At this time, Henry VII glanced at his daughter and saw that Gina was looking at Duke with a smile in her eyes. As a father, Henry VII naturally knew what this meant. It's just that he didn't expect that Gina would be captured by Duke in just a few months after going to Storm Castle?

Henry VII also knew a lot about Jina, even in a place like the Martial Arts Academy, where there were many elites, Jina didn't say that she had seen any suitor differently, why would she look at this straw bag differently? Henry VII couldn't understand what had happened to Duke in just one year in Storm Castle, how could there have been such a big change.

At the same time, Dumbledore, who was sitting opposite, also spoke: "I also agree with Lord Leonard's suggestion, Duke is indeed the best among the younger generation, and he is very suitable for Princess Gina, and I think Princess Gena seems to be very satisfied with Viscount Duke." ”

Dumbledore sat next to Gina, and naturally saw the little girl looking at Duke from time to time, and even had that happy smile on her face. As a centenarian, how could Dumbledore not have seen this kind of mentality, and naturally he sensed Princess Gina's intentions.

Sure enough, when Dumbledore said this, he saw Gina's cheeks crimson, and then he glanced at Duke and lowered his head. Originally, Duke was still talking and laughing with all the bigwigs at this time, but when he suddenly saw Princess Jina, he instantly felt a heartbeat.

Damn, this little girl really didn't see this kind of style before!

It's just that Leonard's suggestion to Dumbledore did not make Henry VII compromise, but only made him more jealous in his heart. Duke, or Otto, now has such energy that he can't let Gina marry him.

"Bishop Leonard, Mr. Dumbledore, Viscount Duke is indeed a talent, but Gina has just turned sixteen years old, and it is too early to discuss this matter, I plan to let Gina study in the imperial capital for another two years, and then consider this matter according to her own wishes, I wonder what you two think?"

Henry VII's sudden change surprised both Leonard and Dumbledore, because the essence of today's welcome banquet was well known to the higher-ups. It can even be said that all the people attending the banquet today understand that otherwise there would not be so many young nobles who did not belong to the martial arts academy to come.

But Henry VII said this, which is equivalent to vetoing the purpose of today's banquet, just as the emperor and his father, after all, it is not a banquet that he said, since he does not admit it, Leonard and Dumbledore are not easy to say.

And at this moment, Andre, who had not spoken, also spoke: "Your Majesty the Emperor, what you said is also reasonable, Ji Na is still young, and she is still lacking in leading the army and martial arts, I would like her to study for two years before considering marriage." ”

Now with the paladin Andre's conformity, Leonard and the others are even more difficult to refute, so they can only nod their heads in cooperation and say yes, the purpose of this banquet is to recruit relatives as if it never happened.

Jina looked at everything that was happening in front of her, and her father's "opposition" made her feel incredible. Because she knows her father very well, once she decides, she will not change it, and even this wedding banquet is decided by himself.

With the support of Leonard and Dumbledore, the father is still determined to cancel the recruitment, so there must be a special reason behind this, which definitely outweighs personal disgust. It's just that with Princess Jina's experience and political sense now, she can't figure out what this is for.

When Duke heard Henry VII's objection, he didn't know why he suddenly felt a great sense of loss in his heart. He hadn't considered marrying Ji Na before, because the two of them didn't even have the most basic couple relationship, so they just talked about marriage and whether it was too fast.

After all, Duke's thinking is still the modern era of free love, not the era of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. But when all this was really skipped by Henry VII lightly, Duke still had a lot of psychological fluctuations, could it be said that he really fell in love with the little girl Jena, or was it just the possessiveness of the bottom of people's hearts?

Duke couldn't decide which point it belonged to, so he subconsciously looked at Gina, who was also looking at Duke at the moment.

The eyes of the two people were so staring at each other, and at this moment, the two of them finally collided with a strange spark, which was different from the previous friendship, and began to contain other emotions.

It's just that this kind of eye contact was soon discovered by Henry VII, and he felt a kind of anger at Jina's performance, didn't she understand that this was the son of the biggest threat to the royal family, and Jina would actually like the enemy's son?

But in any case, Henry VII could not explain to Gina at this time, so he could only raise his wine glass, interrupting the eye contact between Duke and Gina. It also means that from this moment on, the biggest attraction of this banquet is gone.

However, this is good news for the elite nobles present, many people may not know the estrangement between the royal family and Duke Otto, but they can detect that His Majesty the Emperor does not like this Duke, otherwise there is Leonard and Dumbledore to recommend, don't be a nobleman, even if it is a commoner, it is estimated that Henry VII will have to think about it, after all, these are the two people with the highest status in the French Empire except for the royal family.

The banquet ended in such a hurry, and even when he left the feast, the expression on Henry VII's face was not very good. But Princess Gina had an expression of wanting to say something, and she couldn't say anything to Duke in this environment.

Leonard and Andre were preparing to return to Francoccal together, and when they left, Leonard politely encouraged Duke twice, and Andre was the usual frost face, probably being almost tricked by Duke, and his impression of Duke was not very good.

With the departure of these two people, Duke was also ready to pat his ass and leave, this banquet was originally for him to do things, so that Henry VII felt the pressure and did not dare to marry Princess Jena easily. It's just that Duke didn't expect that Leonard and Dumbledore would cooperate so much and take the initiative to mention this matter, so that Duke's back-up moves were useless.

Now that the goal has been achieved, he didn't stay in the mood to catch up with these noble second generations, but at this time, Dumbledore suddenly came to his side, and said with a mysterious smile on his face: "Viscount Duke, if you are not in a hurry, can you talk to me, an old man?"
