"It turned out to be the duke's son...... What a coincidence of this world. β
When Wang Xiaoming heard the news from Earl Drion, he was obviously stunned, and lowered his head in contemplation by supporting his chin with his hand.
Unexpectedly, my "encouragement" to her actually had this effect, although at that time I already had a hunch that she was likely to make abnormal moves in the process of "turning herself in", but the direct assassination was really unexpected to me.
But...... Well done.
His expression quickly recovered, "What happened to that Sea Clan now? Has he been arrested and imprisoned? Or has he been executed?"
Wang Xiaoming's attitude was able to calm down in such a quick moment, which made Count Drion feel a strangeness. When he got the news, he was surprised for a while before it subsided, but Wang Xiaoming seemed to be silent, and after a short period of shock, he returned to normal. What a person not to be underestimated. Count Drion was suddenly glad that he had not fought against the other party, otherwise such an enemy would have been very difficult to deal with.
"No, the Sea Clan woman is not dead, but she has been recaptured. But because Emperor Picca seems to be very concerned about this matter, according to what I know now, the Sea Clan is now imprisoned by His Majesty the Emperor. β
"So serious?" Wang Xiaoming was speechless, he actually had to bother the emperor to order the arrest.
"Isn't it serious that a Sea Clan killed the son of a great nobleman?" Count Drion asked curiously, but then understood, "But it's normal for you not to know, the relationship between the Terrans and the Sea Clan here is complicated. What's more, it was the son of Duke Henk, so he must pay close attention. β
"So is this Duke planning to come to Emperor Pigaca?" Wang Xiaoming felt that he had found the key point, and said to Count Drion with a smile. This kind of face is not so much free to talk and laugh, but more like an indifferent and ruthless face, which makes Earl Drion feel surprised in his heart, you must know that Wang Xiaoming helped the woman of the Sea Clan from him, and now he feels that Wang Xiaoming no longer takes the other party seriously, but just as an interesting "incident".
He was surprised in his heart, but on the surface he could only pretend to be calm, "It is very likely, from the gloom in his eyes, it can be seen that he has not only come to celebrate the princess's party tonight, but must have other intentions." β
Wang Xiaoming whistled a small whistle, attracting the attention of Drion, Ji Ya, and Gnavier.
"Then something very interesting may happen tonight. β
With the arrival of great nobles such as the newly arrived Duke Henk, the guests invited by the royal family have basically arrived. Wang Xiaoming looked at the past, all the tables were already seated, and the maids began to serve dishes from the kitchen one by one, with wine and juice all available, and various foods according to different types of groups. Bilika, Chito Isuzu, and Lathrit, the heavyweight receptionist, Larcelette Ward, who were in charge of the reception at the gate, and of course, Curris, who had just passed later, also walked into the hall from the entrance.
Bilica obviously rarely copes with this kind of large-scale scene, and breathed a sigh of relief directly after receiving the guests, in the series of reception work just now, she just acted as a symbolic figure, and the real reception was the guard Sento Isuzu and the teacher Lacelit Ward next to her, and the greeting to Wang Xiaoming just now can be said to be her most positive one this night.
As the "protagonist" of tonight, Bilika's seat is naturally the front row of the entire arranged hall. The seating arrangement of the party hall is very hierarchical, the royal family members are in the front row, the big nobles follow closely behind, and the nobles in the back are arranged according to the rankings determined by various procedures, as for the location of Wang Xiaoming, because of the fact that they are only foreign guests, even if they are personally invited by Bi Lika, they can only be at the bottom of the seat.
However, because of this, as soon as Bilika and the others came in, they could see Wang Xiaoming and the four (plus Count Drion). Walking up to their table, Bilica came with the joy of completing her task.
"Brother Xiaoming, are you happy to come here?"
"Of course I'm happy, but I'll be even happier if you could call the feast off and let me eat it. Wang Xiaoming was eager to try, and was waiting for Bilica to "give an order" to clean up the pile of delicacies on the table.
Bilika smiled when she heard this, "Okay, Teacher Ward has already asked someone to call Father, and soon you will have a full meal." β
"Teacher, mighty!" Wang Xiaoming slapped Haslit Ward's ass in a very coherent trend. It's just that his almost flattering behavior made Chito Isuzu very uncomfortable.
"It's a very smart mouth. β
Curris gently poked Chito Isuzu with his elbow, "Isuzu, don't say it so loudly, Xiaoming will hear it." β
Wang Xiaoming put his hands on the table and put them together, supporting his chin with both hands, and the whole movement was called a smooth movement, "Curris, you said it too late, I am not only my mouth, but also my ears are so smart, I have listened to everything I should have heard." But I won't be angry, and the only thing that can make me flattering is the teacher's level. β
Coupled with his deliberately solemn demeanor, characters like Rao Lashlit Ward couldn't help but smile lightly, "It's really interesting, Wang Xiaoming." β
"Where, where. Wang Xiaoming humbly agreed.
At the end of the conversation, Latriet Ward led Bilica (although Bilica was in front) to their seats, but Curris was about to follow one moment ago, but stopped the next moment, whether he was hesitating to stay at Wang Xiaoming's table or follow Bilica and the others directly.
However, Wang Xiaoming gave him the answer directly.
"Anyway, it's also the right-hand man of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so you can follow along. β
β...... Then I'll go, you guys have a good meal. β
After Wang Xiaoming's push, Curris still kept up with the Qiandou Isuzu in front.
Earl Drionne next to him was stunned, he never thought that this Wang Xiaoming really knew these important people in the empire, and the degree of understanding was not shallow.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoming leaned over and said in a show-off tone: "What's the matter? I'm not lying, am I?"
"That, that, that you and His Majesty the Emperor really ......," Count Drion suddenly stuttered, and said something very nervously.
"Rest assured, the royal family will surely know your loyalty. Well done!"
After all, Count Drion had very few close encounters with Princess Bilica, which could be counted on one finger, let alone the "Sage Lord", the most famous in the empire. After seeing Wang Xiaoming talking and laughing with them just now, how can you not believe it now?
Even so, he felt that he really should avoid this Wang Xiaoming, "That's ...... I'll go back to my seat first. β
"No, let's eat together. We can talk about a lot of things, why do you want to leave before you have eaten? Aren't you giving me face?" Wang Xiaoming was immediately a little dissatisfied.
"No......" Derion suddenly became cautious when talking to Wang Xiaoming now, "It's just that my wife and daughter are still waiting for me in their positions, and I have to go over to accompany them." β
Wang Xiaoming tilted his head sharply to look, although Drion didn't tell him where the seat was, he could still [see] through his ability: a mother and daughter were at the table, and there was an empty seat, which was Drion's table. And his daughter kept looking at himβstrictly speaking, she should be looking at Ji Ya.
So, Wang Xiaoming, who sat down again, nodded: "Alas, okay, you can go back." We'll talk about it when we have a chance. β
"There will be that opportunity. Earl Drion smiled awkwardly, and left the table of Wang Xiaoming's three, perhaps because he had escaped from Wang Xiaoming's sight, and his steps were more brisk.
Therefore, there are once again three people left at this table: Ji Ya, Gnavier and Wang Xiaoming.
"Whew...... It's all their own people, and it's easy to do things. Wang Xiaoming shook his body, his fingers kept tapping the surface of the tablecloth, making a "bang" sound.
At the same time, with the main entrance door of the hall closing a little until it finally closes completely.
The night began.
