After sending the invitation, the old man left surrounded by a group of people from the Leslie family, while Sean returned to his room with the invitation and placed it on a desk.

Looking at the invitation on the desk, Sean showed a hint of inexplicable expression on his face, and the opportunity to contact the eldest princess and the twelve princes to copy and fuse their super-level knightly talents came, and the same trouble came.

In the eyes of that emperor, it is a supreme honor for others, and it can even be said to be a happy event that can make the family glorious, but for him, it is not a good thing, after all, there are too many secrets on him.

However, this dinner party must be attended, otherwise, it will definitely arouse suspicion, and refuse the emperor's invitation to the dinner, as long as it is a normal person, unless that person is not normal.

And he didn't want to miss this opportunity to copy and fuse the super-level knightly talents of the eldest princess and the twelve princes, after all, if he copied and fused the knightly talents of the two, his knightly talent was likely to be able to go further and transform into a higher-level knight talent.

For the knight talent above the excellence level, he is naturally extremely looking forward to it, the excellence level knight talent can increase by 15,000 jin per month with the assistance of the purple level knight swordsmanship and auxiliary cultivation drugs, what about the knight talent above the excellence level?

It is inevitable that the cultivation speed will increase greatly, after all, the difference in cultivation speed between each level of knight talent is huge, so even for the sake of knight talent above the excellence level, he must go to this dinner party.

In the evening of the second day, a luxury carriage departed from the Leslie family mansion and headed for the palace in the center of the imperial capital.

In the carriage sat Warren, the head of the Leslie family. Leslie, Eve's mother, Peg. Joyce, Eve's eldest brother Kenan. Leslie, Eve, and Sean.

Because the New Year is approaching, the imperial capital is brightly lit tonight, especially the road leading to the palace, and the luxurious carriages, competing with each other, drive on this road, towards the end of the road.

The luxurious carriage of the Leslie family, carrying five people, passed through the huge gate of the palace, which was more than 20 meters high, entered the palace, and came to a wide square.

Coming here, the carriage stopped, and Sean and the others also stepped down from the carriage in turn.

There were already many carriages parked in this square, and each one was extremely luxuriously decorated, even the carriage that the Leslie family had carefully decorated with a large amount of gold coins could only be regarded as ordinary when placed in it.

"Yo, isn't this the 'Leslie Master'?"

Next to Sean's carriage, another carriage stopped, and out of it came five people, three men and two women, the first of which was a middle-aged man with coffee-colored hair, he glanced at the Leslie family next to him, his eyes suddenly became cold, and his voice was piercing.

"Oliver family master, it's been a long time, seeing that you're not sick, I'm 'relieved'!"

Leslie House Master Warren. Leslie's face also turned cold, and he said with a mockery in his voice, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Next to it, Sean was hearing Warren. Leslie was already thoughtful when she addressed the other party.

The Oliver family, one of the Marquis families, but unlike the Leslie family, which is in the middle and lower reaches of the Marquis family and has only one legend, the Philip family is a powerful family that can rank in the top three even among the Marquis family, and there are three legends in the family.

As for the source of the conflict between the two families, even Sean, who does not know much about the intricate relationship between the various families in the empire, has already guessed it.

The Oliver family is the top three families in terms of strength, and at the same time, it also has an identity, that is, the family where the mother of the eighth prince is located today.

The eighth prince and the seventeenth princess are both strong contenders for the throne, and it is inevitable that the two will fight each other, and as two families with an inseparable brand with the eighth prince and the seventeenth princess, it is naturally impossible for them to get along.

"I've seen Marquis Warren, I've seen Marquis Truman!"

At this moment, a man dressed in the costume of a palace steward hurried over and skillfully interrupted the invisible smoke between the two.

He was one of the many stewards of the palace, and as the steward of the palace, he was naturally very clear about the relationship between the various families, because this was a compulsory course, so when he saw the Leslie family and the Oliver family get out of the carriage at about the same time, he secretly screamed in his heart and hurried over.

Seeing that the palace steward had arrived, the lord of the Leslie family and the head of the Oliver family did not say more, and directly showed the invitation they had received to the palace steward, and then walked towards the banquet hall under the leadership of the palace steward.

It is worth mentioning that when Sean showed the invitation, Sean obviously felt that the head of the Philip family looked at him with extremely sharp eyes for a moment, afraid that the other party guessed who he was.

The splendid banquet hall is extremely spacious, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, and its interior colors are mainly gold and purple, showing the solemnity of the royal family.

At this time, there have been many families in it, these people are well-dressed, every hanging ornament on their bodies is extremely exquisite, it is likely that a seemingly ordinary hanging ornament is enough for ordinary people to live without food and clothing for a lifetime, obviously these people are from the upper nobility of the empire.

Sean's eyes swept over the banquet hall, and he didn't see the seventeenth princess and other princesses and princes, but he quickly reacted, obviously the seventeenth princess and others, who were members of the royal family, should appear with the current emperor at the last moment.

Sean was wearing a straight black dress, with a pure gold pendant on his left chest, which was the dress prepared for him by the Leslie family, because it was tailor-made, so it fit very well on the body, with his blonde hair, although he did not look very handsome but had a unique temperament, as soon as he entered the field, he immediately attracted the attention of some young women.

However, when these women caught a glimpse of the nobility badge on his chest, the enthusiasm in their eyes suddenly dissipated a lot.

Every year, at the year-end dinner, each family will bring the most outstanding children of their own family, because this dinner also has a name, called "blind date banquet", which means a banquet to create opportunities for the noble young masters and noble ladies of each family.

And the reason why these young women, after seeing that Sean did not have a noble badge on his chest, the enthusiasm in their eyes dissipated a lot was because they judged that Sean was not the next heir of a certain family.

Generally speaking, anyone who is confirmed as the next heir to the family will generally be given a title of nobility slightly lower than the family title by the royal family until the other person inherits the family title.

Like Sean, who does not have a noble badge on his body, he is generally not the heir of the family, and since he is not the heir of the family, his status is naturally one level lower, and naturally he is not their highest priority.

However, not everyone's enthusiasm for Sean has waned, and one of the women, who was wearing a black evening dress, with a high-profile figure and a delicate face, had already walked towards Sean as soon as Sean appeared.

"Lord Sean, long time no see!"

The woman greeted Sean generously.

"Long time no see!"

Sean greeted the other party politely.

The woman's name was Firin. Carter, who was once saved by Sean in Fort Kedot, Bryce. Carter's sister, Princess Celestia, after the banquet, the other party and Bryce. Carter had visited him at the Leslie family, so he was acquainted.

"Why didn't you see Bryce?"

Sean glanced behind the woman, a hint of strangeness on his face.

"He wasn't feeling well, so he didn't come."

Firin. Carter explained.

Sean nodded understandingly, and after a few contacts, he could see that Bryce. Carter is an extremely shy introvert, and I'm afraid he doesn't like this kind of occasion and excuses it.

The two chatted for a while before parting, and most of the time it was Firin. Carter is asking, Sean is answering, Sean can feel Plene. Carter's enthusiasm for himself, of course, he didn't think about anything else, he guessed that the other party might have investigated him, knew that he had some relationship with Princess Seventeen, and felt that he was worth getting acfriended.

With Firin. Carter separated, and Sean found a table to sit down, quietly waiting for the official start of the banquet.

During this period, several young noble ladies also came to talk to Sean, but when they learned that Sean did not have a knighthood, and was not even from the Colburn Empire, they immediately left gracefully, and their family would not allow them to marry a non-Imperial.

More than half an hour later.

At the door of the banquet hall, dozens of people walked in, and as these dozens of people walked in, the banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and many people involuntarily stood up from their seats, and Sean was also one of them.

Among these dozens of people, one man and one woman are at the forefront.

The man was a middle-aged man with black hair, wearing purple and gold clothes, with a tall and tall figure, and the whole person had an extremely strong majestic momentum.

Seeing this man, everyone couldn't help but bow their heads slightly, even Sean, because he had already guessed who this person was.

In the third row behind the man, there are two men and two women walking side by side, it is the eldest princess, the eighth prince, the twelfth prince, and the seventeenth princess.

That's right, he is none other than Aldington, the emperor of today's Colburn Empire. Tomyris, the man who stands at the very top of the human kingdom.

Walking side by side with him was a beautiful woman, who was dressed in a long green dress adorned with many jewels.

This person should be the queen of the Colburn Empire and the mother of Princess Celestia.

And behind the two, that is, in the second row, there are also three beautiful women walking side by side, as for these three people, Sean doesn't know the specific identity, the emperor has a total of twenty-three heirs, and there are not a few concubines and the like, so he naturally can't guess.
