Chapter 782: His Majesty's Dinner Party
Despite their different beliefs and philosophies, most of the nobles of Beckland were able to coexist peacefully, so it was not uncommon for Earl Hall to appear at Duke Nichol's dinner.
But being able to invite the archbishops of the three major churches to a dinner at the same time is not something that the newly succeeded Duke Negan can do, and even the old duke, who was once a high and powerful person, can hardly do.
At a dinner party of this size, Horamik actually planned to introduce himself to the two or five boys of the "Storm Church", and he was a little too bold!
Is it really dark under the lights? The most dangerous place is the safest?
With full doubts, he and Horamic looked at each other, the latter did not say too obviously, and Louise temporarily calmed down, after all, the banquet had not officially begun, and what she had to do was not visible, so naturally she could not appear too eager, otherwise it would be even more suspicious.
So, she walked in the direction of Miss "Justice", and Audrey also spotted Louise's figure, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she happily said a few words to Count Hall beside her.
Earl Hall was chatting with Archbishop St. Anthony, and when he heard his daughter's request, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Louise and hesitated for half a second, as if recalling the identity of this person.
As a result, Archbishop St. Anthony on the opposite side took the initiative to introduce:
"That's Miss Louise, who is also a devout follower of a goddess."
It seemed a little surprised, but with the archbishop's endorsement, Count Hall naturally did not raise any questions on the surface, and then agreed to his daughter's request with a smile.
Responding sweetly, Audrey took the initiative to meet Louise in the direction she was coming from.
"Why are you here?" Audrey asked in surprise.
Louise smiled in response to the gazes of St. Anthony and Count Hall, and then looked at Audrey in front of her, and replied lightly:
"Of course, it's because I've been invited by the host of the banquet!"
Audrey was stunned for a moment, she was one of the few people who knew that Louise had killed Duke Negan, and Louise had just returned to Beckland not long ago, how could she establish a friendship with the new Duke Negan so quickly?
Could it be that her real purpose is to kill the current Mr. Duke?
This terrible speculation suddenly appeared in her head, and Audrey shrank slightly, and there was a little more shock in her eyes when she looked at Louise.
It's not clear what Miss Justice was thinking, but it must not be a good thing...... Louise smiled, raised her head gracefully, and said:
"I am now a devout follower of the 'Goddess of the Night', a good law-abiding person."
Audrey wanted to roll her eyes, but she was stopped by the etiquette habits she had formed for a long time, and since Louise had already made a promise, she was relieved.
After all, everyone in the "Tarot Society" knows that Miss "Power" never lies.
Louise then added: "The three demigod archbishops are all at the banquet at this time, how dare I be presumptuous!" ”
These words seemed to emphasize that she would not make trouble, but Audrey, as a senior "audience", easily understood the deep meaning of Louise's words, tilted her head slightly, and asked curiously:
"Don't you know the true purpose of this feast?"
Louise smiled, and secretly said that tonight's banquet was really not simple, she shook her head, and then raised her right hand, indicating that she would like to hear about it.
"Although the host of tonight's banquet is Duke Negan, the person who really instructed this banquet is His Majesty the Emperor."
Audrey did not hide it, and whispered the truth of the banquet: "His Majesty the Emperor will appear at tonight's banquet. ”
Louise was surprised at first, and then nodded secretly, which makes sense, otherwise, just with the face of a young Duke Negan, where would he invite such a big battle!
But she inevitably had some doubts in her heart, even the dinner party where George III was going to appear, the defense was naturally quite tight, why would Horamick choose such an inopportune opportunity?
No, the "Storm Church" that Mr. Archbishop wants to introduce is His Majesty the Emperor of Rune, right?
Amused by her own ridiculous idea, Louise suddenly raised the wine glass in her hand, took a sip with Audrey, and asked curiously:
"Did George III often attend banquets?"
Audrey shook her head: "Very rarely, His Majesty the Emperor rarely appears in the public eye, and the number of times he comes to the banquet in person is even rarer, so tonight will be so lively." ”
That's right! George III has waited for the final sprint stage of promotion to the "Black Emperor", of course, it is impossible to show his head often, and even the emperor at this time is still doubtful whether George III himself is still in doubt!
But in this situation, George III suddenly ordered the largest nobleman, Duke Negan, to hold tonight's banquet, and was there in person, is there a deeper purpose?
Louise pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively:
"Did you receive a banquet invitation at a normal time?"
Audrey first bowed slightly, and said softly: "It's normal, His Majesty the Emperor's itinerary rarely changes. ”
After answering, Miss "Justice" keenly sensed that something was wrong with Louise, and asked a little nervously:
"Is there anything unusual about tonight's banquet?"
Audrey had already known the information that Augustus was an ancient angel family, and of course she didn't think that there would be any crisis at the dinner party attended by His Majesty the Emperor in person, but Louise was never a lost person, and the entanglement between them made Miss "Justice" a little confused.
And in Louise's point of view, George III, who has always lived in seclusion, suddenly holds a banquet, especially at the time when the four angel kings gather in Bakeland, and she can't help but have additional associations.
But this information could not be told to Miss "Justice", at least not at this moment, so Louise could only laugh and simply respond:
"It's nothing, it's just that I, as a native of Rune, have never met George III, so I'm just a little curious about our Emperor Majesty."
Audrey naturally heard the perfunctory words, but she didn't continue to ask, but just whispered:
"Due to the appearance of His Majesty the Emperor, the specifications of the guards for tonight's banquet have been mentioned to be the highest."
Louise smiled dumbly, but also felt the love of Miss "Justice", and then solemnly repeated:
"I'm a good law-abiding person."
What's more, George III is the one who is one step away from trying to be promoted to the "Black Emperor", how dare I provoke her!
At this moment, the banquet hall suddenly fell silent, and the nobles and ministers who were usually high-ranking and powerful people retreated and made way for the group to walk calmly to the center of the hall.
Audrey leaned slightly and whispered in Louise's ear:
"At the forefront is His Majesty the Emperor."
