In two days the King's enthronement anniversary, most of the princes had already arrived in the capital, except for Duke O'Dohono of Vale. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Gwynlith hasn't been in a good mood these days. The king disappeared as soon as the morning court ended, and for this matter, the former prime minister looked for her several times, hoping that the king could handle the matter of the Knight Conan well, but the king also avoided her, and there was no chance to speak at all.

Princess Amy has also locked herself in her room sullenly these days, Gwen has not yet told her about marrying the duke, but this matter will definitely be said before the anniversary, the celebration will only last for three days, after which Amy must follow back to Valley City, and become the new Duchess of Valley City next year.

Gwen stood in front of the window, holding a delicate, translucent glass containing craft wines from the city-state of North, which she loved for its bitter and memorable taste.

"Queen Mother, Lord Colin is here. The maid came lightly, Gwen had always disliked being disturbed while she was thinking, and everyone was careful in their every move.

"Let him in. Gwen took a sip of the wine, and the bitter taste instantly bloomed on her taste buds.

"Queen Mother, according to the information, Duke Odohono will arrive in the royal capital tomorrow afternoon. "Home Secretary Colin is always the first to deliver the news.

"Well, got it. "Gwen's interest is not high, the Duke is here means that trouble is coming, and now there is a way to deal with it, but it is still inevitable to be in trouble.

"Your Majesty still hasn't seen you?" asked Colin, a little worried.

The king has his own responsibility for the matter of the Knight of Conan, and the prime minister has been constantly mentioning it in the early days of the court, but he has been forced to suppress it by the king. After the end of the early dynasty, they wanted to see the king but were blocked from the door, and several ministers could only let Gwen go to meet him, which still required his participation.

"I'll talk to him today. "Gwen hasn't seen him yet, but the Duke will arrive in the royal capital tomorrow, and he will find him tomorrow.

When Gwen learns that the king is hunting in the hunting grounds, she goes straight to it.

It wasn't a hunting day, and the grounds were empty, with a few Guards guarding him besides the King.

Gwen arrived in the arena, and the king was tilting his head and aiming at a pheasant not far away with one eye closed.

The king's arrow came out of the string and stuck right in front of the pheasant, so frightened that it ran away with its wings outstretched.

"Connell. "Gwen didn't have the time to wait until he finished hunting.

"Originally, I was going to shoot, why did you bother the queen mother. Connell was impatient, he had already shot dozens of arrows today to hit three chickens, and such a harvest could not make him happy.

Gwen motioned for the surrounding Guards to leave and head to the periphery, leaving only the two of them in the field.

"Connell, tomorrow Duke O'Dohono will arrive in the royal capital, and you will have to host a dinner party to welcome him. "Originally, the dukes would only meet the king once after arriving in the royal capital, and the dinner would only be held on anniversaries, but now in order to ease the relationship between the royal family and the duke, a separate banquet is necessary, and Princess Amy and the duke must be introduced to each other at the banquet.

"Who is Duke O'Dohono?" Conor looked puzzled, which duke was this, as if he hadn't heard of it.

"The father of the Knight of Conan. Gwen was a little annoyed that she didn't even know about this kind of thing.

"It turned out to be him, why did you want to entertain him, the rest of the dukes came to see me with gifts and went back, I'm afraid that the rest of the dukes will be unhappy to feast him alone." Conor didn't think so in his heart, everyone was a duke, so why should they pay special attention to him.

"Why? Have you forgotten about the tournament, this banquet is considered to ease the relationship between the two families, and the rest of the people will not say anything. "Gwen has a bit of a headache, Conor is too headstrong, it's hard to listen to the advice of others, he used to be obedient when he was a child, but now he is a completely different person.

"Oh, you said that the Knight of Conan was beheaded, that was because he hurt me first, if it is a crime, it should be a murder of the king, and it is already a great gift for me to cut off his head alone, shouldn't the Duke thank me for not killing for this?" Connell only thought it funny, he was a dignified king, and he had to apologize to others for cutting his arm, and there was no royal law to say it.

Gwen didn't know what to say, and Connell's idea was completely unexpected.

Before, he was hiding, Gwen thought that Connor didn't know how to deal with the fear, but he didn't expect to have such a thought in his heart, but this idea was terrible, and a mistake would provoke a domestic war.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, Connor seized the opportunity to shoot another arrow, but unfortunately once again grazed the prey.

"Connor, you must hold a dinner tomorrow, this is not a consultation but an order. Gwen knew that persuasion had little effect, and could only take a tough stance. This dinner is about the status of the royal family, and it is not up to Connell to do it willfully.

"Mother, I am the king, and no one can command the king. Conal's temper came up, he didn't need anyone to dictate his actions, and no one could dictate him, not even the Queen Mother.

"Then why are you going to feast the Duke?" Gwen had no choice at all about Connar now, his temperament was becoming more and more elusive, and he had to try whatever he could.

"Let him come to me on his knees from the main entrance of the castle, oh no, kneel down to me from the snowy avenue, haha. Conor laughed heartily, it must have been a good sight. The Duke came on his knees all the way to pay his respects, and he intended to forgive the Knight of Conan for his murder.

"Smack. Gwen slapped Conor in the face.

The smile on Connell's face froze, and he couldn't believe he had been slapped. He slowly reached out and touched his face, and there was a hot pain on his face instantly.

"You hit me?" Connor hadn't come to his senses, no one had beaten him since he was a child.

"Connor, don't you know repentance?" Gwen was disappointed, he didn't expect to get to this point when he thought it was a simple thing, so he hoped that Conor would accept the advice and have a good dinner, and the rest would be easier.

"Hmph, I hate you. Conor threw it down in his hand and said angrily. This slap was a great shame for him, and if it weren't for Gwen, he would have been dragged to the gallows.

Connor hurriedly left the hunting grounds, there was no fun in this place today, but he was still angry, and now he needed to go to a place where he could have fun.

Watching Conor leave, Gwen was completely disappointed.

Tomorrow's dinner party goes according to plan, and if Connell doesn't show up, then she, the Queen Mother, will have to stand up.
