212 Court Banquets

Hearing Rose's report, Duke still nodded and didn't say much, because he had no interest in court banquets. This time I came to the imperial capital, more to check the business environment of the imperial capital and choose a site for the storm firm.

Entering the Duke's Club, the place guarded by the Maple Leaf Guard before was basically accompanied by a Storm Guard, it is estimated that this is an order issued by Fei Duo, for Teucer and the Maple Leaf Guard, they have already felt hostility, and they have seen it according to the opponent.

Almost as soon as Duke came in, the butler Dole stepped forward, bent down and said respectfully, "Young Master Duke, your room is ready, the food is on the table, and everything is arranged according to your previous preferences. ”

"I see, thanks. ”

Duke replied casually, but his sentence surprised Dore, because a year ago, Duke would never say thank you for this kind of preparation, and he didn't even respond, but went straight to the room.

But Duke's return this time made Dole feel completely different, and even the way of doing things had changed, which was a bit bizarre. If you want to say that the person who knows Duke in the world, then it must be Dole, because he grew up watching Duke a few years old, and a person's personality and way of doing things are not so easy to change.

Of course, this kind of thing Dole naturally didn't say much, just silently stepped aside.

Duke also walked to his room with ease, after all, this place had lived for more than ten years. Seeing that Duke was still very familiar with this place, which also made Dore's doubts a little less, Rose did not follow Duke into the room, but stood at the door to protect him.

Entering the room, there is already a table of sumptuous food on the table, I have to say that the imperial capital is really not a hillbilly place like Storm Castle can be compared, not to mention the content of the food, just the tableware, the way of placement, and the matching candlesticks, napkins and other add-ons, you can see a completely different sense of aristocratic luxury.

The thing was good and the aristocratic atmosphere was strong, but the problem was that Duke saw an uninvited guest in front of the table, eating the food he had prepared for himself.

"Holy, Hera, why are you in my room?"

Duke asked with an unhappy face, after all, he was not in a good mood.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and someone just happened to bring something in, so I'll help you taste it by the way. Don't worry, sister, I still have to keep in shape and haven't eaten much. ”

Hearing Hera say this, Duke could only say that he didn't want to say anything more, because this woman was basically unreasonable.

"Hey, looking at your unhappy face, did you go to the martial arts academy to refuse you, or did you have a conflict with your little princess?"

"Neither, I turned down a place in the Martial Arts Academy. ”

Hera was about to open her mouth to eat a piece of fruit at this time, but after hearing Duke's answer, she was so surprised that she even forgot to eat something, and hurriedly asked Duke: "Refused the place to enter the martial arts academy, Duke can't see that you are so ......"

Hera was stuck when she said this, she really couldn't think of any words to describe Duke's behavior,

"Stupid?"

Duke saw that Hera couldn't find any adjectives for a long time, so he took the initiative to think of one for her, and it is estimated that as the word spreads, the entire imperial capital should look at himself like a fool.

But what Duke didn't expect was that Hera shook her head very firmly, and then walked up to Duke and looked at him and said, "No! It's not stupid at all, but it makes me feel a kind of excitement and excitement, little Duke, you have done a great job, only by refusing to admit to the martial arts academy can you meet your super heretical rebellious spirit!"

"I can imagine the face of the paladin Andrei, this group of hypocritical saints of the Holy See, who have always been accustomed to being on high and thinking that it is a great charity for them to be able to recruit students. Now someone finally makes them understand how cheap the so-called handouts are, I really like you more and more Duke, so manly!"

When Hera said this, she looked at Duke with an extremely seductive look, and even pouted at Duke. However, when Duke saw her like this, he got goosebumps, and quickly took a step back away from Hera.

Because Duke understands that this old woman is just for show, and if she really has extra thoughts or actions, she will definitely let herself die ugly. That is, the kind of post-secular name I can be sassy, but you can't disturb.

"Come on, I don't know your mentality of watching the excitement, as long as I offend someone or challenge the Holy See, you can't wait to fan the flames behind your back. ”

After Duke said this, Hera replied with a kind of shyness on her face: "Oh, you know me so well, which makes my sister and me a little embarrassed." ”

"Since you've said that I like to watch the hilarious, how about I tell you a hilarious news?"

Say. Duke replied angrily, "It's certainly not a good thing."

"Depending on your attitude, I'm here to help you. ”

After saying this, Hera walked around to Duke's side, put her hand on his shoulder and said, "At noon, the palace sent an invitation to the Otto Hall to attend the palace banquet, but the invitation was taken away by Torke, do you want to know what the invitation is about?"

"Not interested. Duke replied without hesitation, he really has no interest in any palace banquet now, because this kind of banquet is a competition to see who is more hypocritical and whose acting skills are better.

"I'm not done yet, don't jump to conclusions and be uninterested. ”

"At that time, I saw Teucer accept the invitation so voluntarily, and the contents of the invitation were mysteriously not disclosed, so I wondered what was written on it. So I followed Teucer to his room, and then looked at the invitation and looked at it a few times, do you know what this palace banquet is for?"

"Not interested. "For Hera's hobby of selling guanzi, Duke has always vetoed it mercilessly, otherwise this woman will shine brightly if she gives a little sunshine, and then the selling guanzi will be even more powerful.

Sure enough, Duke's unreasonable attitude made Hera feel very unhappy, so she directly stretched out her finger to the back of Duke's waist, grabbed a piece of fat and twisted it.

"Interested, very interested!" Duke, in the face of the threat of force, chose to give in at the first time.

"Hmph, don't say it so reluctantly, the content of the invitation is really what you are interested in, because the purpose of this palace banquet is to invite the children of the nobles in the imperial capital to participate in Princess Jina's marriage ceremony, you don't want to see Jina's delicate little girl become someone else's wife, right?"
