The Grand Duchy's Palace of the Duchy of Lucerne was lit up tonight, and the waiters decorated the Grand Duke's Banquet Hall with a new look, and plates of food and glass of wine were brought in for the guests in the banquet hall to eat.

In the banquet hall, a group of high-ranking officials from the Principality of Luxon Theater Command on the Eastern Continent, and the nobles of the Principality of Luxon gathered together, talking loudly about the latest fashionable costumes, dramas, paintings, dances and other topics, at least Ouyang Yu, who was wearing the most popular aristocratic lady dress this year, heard only this, as for the cruel war and civil suffering, she almost didn't hear any nobles talking about it.

As the protagonists of this banquet, Ouyang Yu, Harrison and Oba Niu rushed to the banquet early, but the identities of the three of them were civilians, and they were also rude mercenaries in the eyes of the nobles, and those nobles of noble blood disdained to talk to the three of them, huh...... Ouyang Yu is an exception.

Ouyang Yu, who had black hair and black eyes, and an angelic appearance with a devilish figure, attracted attention as soon as he walked into the venue, and the aristocratic women cast envious and jealous eyes, and the aristocratic men, especially the young men, were very concerned about her.

I already knew that one of the three mercenary group leaders who received the award this time was a woman, but most of them thought that it was a burly and tall woman, with a rough voice and even a beard, no different from a man, but she didn't expect that after seeing the real person, her image was completely different from what she imagined, and she turned out to be a petite and beautiful woman, which surprised those nobles, and some of the second ancestors who liked beauty had already added Ouyang Yu to the list of hunters.

"Beautiful young lady, may I invite you to dance?"

A handsome and handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes walked up to Ouyang Yu and stretched out his right hand to her to make an inviting gesture.

Ouyang Yu replied with a reserved smile according to the etiquette instructor's request: "I'm sorry, I can't dance, please find someone else." ”

In order to prevent Ouyang Yu and the three of them from being rude at the banquet, the etiquette teacher of the Grand Duke, that is, the etiquette instructor of the three of them, stood behind them, and in addition to supervising the etiquette of the three of them, he was also responsible for introducing who was who for them, so as not to offend people who should not be offended.

After rejecting several aristocratic young men in a row, Ouyang Yu was still not at peace, and another aristocratic young man walked in front of her with two followers, and the etiquette teacher behind Ouyang Yu introduced softly: "He is Francis, the son of the most powerful minister in the principality, greedy and lustful, small-minded and the most vindictive, if he invites you to dance, it is better not to refuse, otherwise the consequences will be more serious than offending the Grand Duke, and it will make it difficult for you to move an inch in the principality." ”

Ouyang Yu's spirit was shocked, and he didn't dare to slack off, and nodded and smiled at Francis who came over.

"Miss Ouyang, her name is Francis, she is the eldest son of the Principality's Minister Zuo, I don't know if there is an honor, can I invite you to dance?"

After receiving the warning of the etiquette teacher, Ouyang Yu naturally did not dare to refuse, smiled reluctantly, stretched out his right hand and put it on Francis's hand, and walked with him to the dance floor in the banquet hall.

Ouyang Yu didn't really know how to dance, she put her arm on Francis's shoulder, and the two danced to the rhythm in the beautiful music.

The ballroom dancing in this world is similar to Ouyang Yu's world, Ouyang Yu quickly learned it in the three days of etiquette learning, but Harrison and Obama couldn't learn anything, but no one would ask them to dance at the banquet, so the etiquette instructor gave up after teaching it once.

"Miss Ouyang, why would such a beautiful woman as you form a mercenary group to participate in the battle with the Empire?"

Francis asked the question that many nobles wanted to ask Ouyang Yu, because in their opinion, a beautiful woman like Ouyang Yu was born to be sought after and loved, using her natural beauty to marry a famous nobleman, drinking afternoon tea in the warm sun, eating snacks, and chatting about the most popular costumes and operas.

Ouyang Yu had already thought of the answer to this question, and she replied with a slight smile: "The world is in danger, and the husband is responsible." The Phoenix Empire has invaded our Eastern Continent, and as a member of the Eastern Continent, it is natural that we should stand up and destroy the enemy and defend our homeland. ”

Ouyang Yu's words made Francis stunned, he didn't expect to get such an answer, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he smiled and immediately changed the topic.

Ouyang Yu and Francis finished dancing, she was led by Francis to a group of aristocratic youths, and introduced to her the identities of these aristocratic youths one by one, Francis did this with the nature of showing off and warning, because before him, there were some aristocratic youths who wanted to invite Ouyang Yu to dance but were all rejected by her, but only him, Francis successfully invited the beauty, as the boss of the young aristocratic circle of the Duchy of Lucerne, Ouyang Yu's "knowledge of current affairs" It makes Francis feel very embarrassed, and while showing off, he also warns the other young nobles in the same circle, I have a crush on this woman, and you are not allowed to do it again.

Francis's hint was recognized by the other young nobles, but it made Ouyang Yu frown, how could she, who was also a man not long ago, not hear the meaning of Francis's words, which made Ouyang Yu feel very uncomfortable, but Francis's power was too big in the Duchy of Lucerne, unless she left the Duchy, she could only endure it.

"Everyone, please note that Her Royal Highness Avril Springs Lucson, the seventh Grand Duke of the Duchy of Luxon, has arrived!"

Amid the warm applause, Grand Duchess Avril Lavigne walked into the banquet hall and sat down on the throne before the warm applause stopped.

"It turned out to be her!"

After seeing Avril's appearance clearly, Ouyang Yu was secretly surprised in his heart, it turned out that the young girl who was "rescued" in the alley two days ago was the female eldest duke Avril.

Francis, who heard Ouyang Yu's soft exclamation, asked curiously, "Why do you know Avril?"

Francis's tone didn't show any respect for his immediate boss, and his right hand was still on Ouyang Yu's slender waist, wanting to bring her close to his arms.

Ouyang Yu gently broke away from Francis's right hand and opened a little distance from him, she couldn't stand Francis's actions anymore, and replied in a cold voice: "No, I don't know Her Royal Highness, I just look a little like a friend of mine, Mr. Francis, my companion is calling me, and I am out of company." With that, Francis left his side regardless of whether he agreed or not.

Ouyang Yu's actions Francis hadn't spoken yet, and the attendant beside him said unhappily: "A mere civilian dares to throw a face at you, why don't I ask my father to find an excuse to arrest her, and then send her to your mansion." ”

Francis looked at Ouyang Yu's back and showed a satisfied smile, "You don't have to worry about it, after knowing my identity, none of those women in the past didn't take the initiative to send it at all, it's the first time I've seen it with such a hot temperament, which makes me want to conquer, you just wait to see me conquer this woman step by step." ”

Avril's presence brought the atmosphere to the highest level, and a colonel of the coalition forces stood beside Avril and shouted, "Miss Ouyang Yu, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Obama are invited to come forward and accept the reward!"

"Bang bang bang ......!"

Everyone present burst into warm applause, Ouyang Yu and Harrison and Oba Niu walked in front of Avril together, Ouyang Yu held his skirt with both hands and legs slightly bent, and his upper body bent forward forty-five degrees, Harrison and Oba Niu knelt down on one knee and bent over their upper bodies, and performed a noble etiquette to Avril to see the monarch, originally according to the rules of the mainland, the three should kneel down with both legs, but Avril and the commander of the coalition believe that the three are combat heroes, and this time they can be specially treated with special permission for the trio to perform the aristocratic salute.

The colonel of the coalition army took out a commendation order and read it aloud, and the other Ouyang Yu didn't pay attention to it, because they were all high-sounding words, and she only paid attention to the part of the reward.

"Commander Ouyang Yu received the rank of honorary major of the coalition army and was rewarded with 20,000 silver coins, and Captain Harrison and Commander Ouba Niu were awarded the rank of honorary captain of the coalition army and were rewarded with 10,000 silver coins each!"

The honorary rank of the coalition army has no effect, it is just a literal honorary title, but the rewarded silver coin is of great effect to Ouyang Yu, because the silver coin is equal to her strength, and with this silver coin, her army can be expanded to the size of a battalion.

After the reward was announced, the three of them retreated and the banquet continued, but Ouyang Yu was brought to the side of the female archduke, because the female archduke who was only sixteen years old was very curious about Ouyang Yu.

"Greetings from His Royal Highness, Grand Duke. ”

"Please don't be inhibited, I'm just curious about you, and I don't mean anything else. ”

Avril opened a pair of eyes and looked Ouyang Yu up and down, like other nobles, Ouyang Yu was not at all what she imagined, first asked Ouyang Yu how old she was, where she lived, who else was in the family, what she liked to write and other questions, Avril asked Ouyang Yu why he would form a mercenary group to participate in the battle, Ouyang Yu said the answer that he had already thought of in an orderly manner, and then Avril asked her about the battle in the fifth position, Ouyang Yu told the whole battle in a storytelling way, and Avril was shocked when she listened。

Satisfying Avril's curiosity, Ouyang Yu retired again, Avril liked Ouyang Yu very much, and when she left, she said that if Ouyang Yu was free, she could come to see her at any time, hoping to hear more stories about her battle, and Ouyang Yu agreed.

When he thought that no one would look for him again, Ouyang Yu was called over by Lieutenant General Benjamin, the commander of the Principality of Lucerne Theater.

"Your Excellency General, may I ask you to find me?"

"Yes. Lieutenant General Benjamin took out a document and said, "This is a list of weapons to be purchased submitted by Lieutenant Colonel White, which says that because your weapons are very good, they have given great damage to the Imperial Army in battle, so I would like to see for myself, if you have time tomorrow, bring your weapons to my headquarters." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will be early tomorrow. ”
