Prince Harry had a smile on his face when he heard Duke agree to his terms. As a result, when he finally heard that his commission was about to be installment, the smile on Prince Harry's face froze in an instant.

Seeing Prince Harry like this, the smile on Duke's face was even worse, and he even put his backhand on Prince Harry's shoulder, and said in a serious voice: "Your Royal Highness, work hard, the commission will not be less for you." ”

After saying this, Duke also walked towards the banquet hall, fortunately, there were almost no people who entered at this time, and no one saw Duke and Prince Harry hooking shoulders, otherwise it is estimated that many people would be surprised that Duke actually had such a good relationship with the prince.

The banquet hall is now in a lot of noise, after all, this kind of banquet is to use the opportunity to socialize, although there are some nobles in the second generation and do not have fiefs, but it does not affect their contact with each other.

Even some of them were bold and deliberately approached the emperor and the high-level of the French Empire, but almost no one on the side of the Holy See dared to approach, after all, if the identity gap was too big, it would take courage to even say hello.

However, this hustle and bustle is only temporary, because the positions in this place have actually been arranged, in addition to the royal family and clergy, the second generation of elite nobles such as Klose are also arranged on the middle long table, showing that they are the best among their peers.

It's just that the position of the big long table in the middle is very limited, and it can only sit a small number of elites among the elites, and most of the second generation of nobles are scattered to the surrounding banquet tables. Even if it is this arrangement, it is ranked according to the identity and strength of the nobles.

When Duke walked in, he found that the seats in the center were almost full, and the remaining empty seats were on the edge. If that's it, Duke didn't plan to go to the main table for hypocritical politeness. But he saw from a distance that Teucer was actually sitting at the main table, and his son, who was also Duke Otto, did not even have a divided seat, and Duke instantly felt a psychological imbalance!

And when Duke came in, many people also deliberately looked at him with mocking eyes, such as Saruman and Carter, who had offended him before, and so on. Even Duke saw an old acquaintance, Ott, the son of Count Fili of Alpine City, sitting on the edge.

Ott didn't notice Duke's arrival at all at this time, and he still looked at the big guy at the main table with a yearning look. imagined that if he could get in touch with these bigwigs, it was estimated that he would not have to nest in Alpine City, and he would be able to add a knighthood and have his own fiefdom.

It's just that Otto, as the youngest son of an earl, doesn't have any title on his body, and he is far inferior to Duke, and he can get an admission ticket, it is estimated that Count Fili has put a lot of effort into it.

Since he had met an acquaintance, Duke naturally couldn't let it go, so he sat directly next to Ott, and then patted him on the shoulder hard.

Suddenly, someone else patted his shoulder, interrupting the YY in Ott's heart, so at this time, Otto turned back with a very unhappy face, wanting to see which grandson was okay to pat himself, but he came back and saw an extremely familiar face, which made him open his mouth wide and was so stunned. b1

In the past, Ultra also looked down on Duke as a straw bale waste, but the Battle of Fort Storm taught Ultra a solid lesson, making him understand what it means to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Ott didn't expect a straw bale at all, but he actually relied on the lord's army to withstand the attack of the Holy See army, and even came close to defeating his own mountain cavalry.

What's more important is that this guy has been at war with the Holy See, and he can still have no, this is simply a fantasy! It can be said that the original Battle of Storm Castle left a shadow in Ott's heart.

"You...... You...... Why are you here?"

Ott was so nervous that he even stammered a little when he spoke.

"Why are you here, then I have the same reason. It looks like you're nervous, shouldn't you be happy to meet an acquaintance in another country?"

After Duke finished speaking, he directly hugged Ott, as if the relationship was very close in the eyes of others.

Ott was out of breath by Duke's arms, if Duke, a gentleman, still had a bit of a physical foundation, Ott was completely hollowed out by eating, drinking, and having fun, and there was almost no strength to struggle in the face of Duke's forcible hug.

"I'm happy, I'm very happy!"

Although Ott had to answer that he was happy, Duke still didn't feel at ease when he held his hand, but said with a cheap smile: "Since you are so happy, then let's talk about something happy, I heard that your Alpine City plans to interrupt the trade with Storm Castle, is there such a thing?"

"No, we don't have that idea in Alpine City!"

Ott decisively denied it at this time, no matter how the imperial capital is said, it is also Duke's territory, after all, Alpine City has not made any substantive moves, and denial is not nonsense.

"You don't believe it yourself, do you?" Duke replied with a smirk, this guy had been arrogant in front of him before, and now he finally let him get this opportunity.

"Not really, Alpine City has always wanted to maintain good trade relations with Stormcastle!" Ott could only firmly deny it at this time.

Looking at Ott's flustered face, Duke felt extremely satisfied, but now he was not much interested in the business of Alpine City, because with the opening of the Storm Trading House in Andorra City, and the fact that the Prince of Andorra was fed, soon the entire Andorran Prince's own trade system would be in the territory of the Storm Castle, even if Alpine City cut off trade, it would not matter.

"Very good, Ott, I appreciate your cooperative attitude. It's rare for you to come to the imperial capital once, you should eat, drink, and have fun, you don't have to think about other things, whether Princess Jina has a share or not, you should be a little forced in your heart. ”

Hearing Duke say this, Ott thought that Duke was extricating himself, so he replied with a little emotion: "When I arrived in the imperial capital today, I found that the world was so vast, and Alpine City was a countryside. And after seeing so many elites from the martial arts academy, I also feel my own gap, so let's have a few drinks today. ”

This trip to the capital was a great blow to the arrogant Ott, who felt like a hillbilly, and even had an inferiority complex when facing some aristocratic elites. So Ott picked up the wine glass on the table, intending to have a drink with Duke.

But I didn't expect Duke to reply with a disdainful face: "I'm asking you not to think about it, it has nothing to do with me." As for Princess Kina, who else is worthy of her but me?"

Ott's glass fell on the table with a "clang", and there was only one thought in his mind, that is, Duke really didn't have any money in his heart?8)
