"Vivien, how am I dressed?" Mavis was dressed in a dark blue gown, perhaps having never attended a royal gathering, and looked nervous at this moment.

"Mother, your outfit is perfect, trust me." Vivien smiled and gave a thumbs up, while her eyes hinted at her father's performance.

"Vivien is right, this dress is perfect for you. Besides, you're a duchess, so please keep your dignity and don't make people laugh. Duke Klein smiled gentlemanly.

Mavis breathed a sigh of relief, saying that Vivien had a good relationship with her. After all, after six years of getting along, the two of them are good-tempered, so they didn't cause any major incidents.

To be honest, Mavis was a little scared of Victor, and she couldn't say why, but her body resisted. Fortunately, Victor didn't want to be close to her, so the two tacitly maintained a close relationship.

As it darkened, Vivien sighed as she looked out the window at the endless luxury carriage. Fortunately, the Klein family doesn't need to queue up to enter the palace, otherwise I don't know when it will be waiting?

Vivien was bored admiring the view of the palace, and suddenly saw a horse-drawn carriage not far away with a tiger's head printed on it, and thought to herself that the Duke of the West had also come.

The carriage came to a halt under the guidance of the guards, and Vivien saw three men descending, one of whom was undoubtedly Duke Hoffmann in a crimson velvet coat and a hat with four mink furs.

On formal occasions, the duke wore crimson and the crown was decorated with eight gold leaves, which was the highest rank of courtiers. Duke Klein wore it the same way, but to match Mavis's blue dress, he wore a sapphire brooch.

"Father, Duke Hoffmann seems to be waiting for us?" Vivien looked back at Duke Klein, because the other party did not leave, but stood there waiting.

"Well, don't be rude later." Duke Klein touched the ring on his hand, and only he and Hoffman were left of the four dukes who did not express their support for the prince, and it seemed that they had to move around more.

Five minutes later, Vivien and the others' carriage stopped.

Victor went down first, then looked up and beckoned his father, mother, and sister to come down. Sure enough, when Duke Hoffmann saw them, he smiled and walked over.

"Duke Klein, I haven't seen you for a year and you're still beautiful." Duke Hoffmann was dark-skinned, had a long beard on his face, and looked to be about fifty years old.

"Duke Hoffman has a good reputation, this is my wife Mavis, and this is my sons and daughters Victor and Vivien." Duke Klein smiled softly.

"I've seen Duke Hoffman." Vivien and Victor bent down and saluted, laughing at each other's sights.

"This is my son Talon, and this is my daughter Andrea."

Vivian was shocked to hear the words "Andrea", according to the original plot development, two years later Andrea married the crown prince politically, and the two married first and then fell in love to compose a touching love story.

However, the author of the novel crossed into the daughter of the count, Eunice, and in order to survive, she contracted a relationship with the crown prince for two years. Halfway through, the two fall in love with each other, and Andrea turns into a female villain.

Tsk, Vivien looked at the smiling girl in front of her, and inexplicably felt that the crown prince was not worthy of such a good person. She didn't know anything about the future, and she didn't have any ideas about the crown prince, but Eunice kept matching her with the crown prince by knowing the future.

When she really fell in love with the crown prince, Eunice became pregnant, and staged a show of a wife running with the ball. Andrea became the biggest joke in the entire empire, so Blackened embarked on the path of a villain.

Andrea's elder brother Talon is a complete sister control, and in order to prevent the crown prince from killing his sister in anger, he does not hesitate to pay the entire family's property.

"Andrea, I'm Vivien, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Vivien took the initiative to walk up to Andrea's side, the two were of the same age, one was petite and delicate, the other was beautiful and dusty, and they complemented each other when they stood together.

"Lady Vivien, you are more beautiful than I imagined, and yellow is really perfect for you." Andrea's voice is beautiful, like a birdsong singing.

"Pink is also perfect for you."

"Alright, alright, you two are beautiful, let's go inside." In the end, it was Duke Hoffmann who interrupted their conversation, otherwise I don't know how long they would have to talk.

The group followed the escort to the banquet hall, and immediately someone shouted: "Welcome Duke Reeve Hoffman, Prince Talon Hoffmann, and Lady Andrea......"

The nobles in the banquet hall all looked at the door, waiting for the three Hoffman family members to come in. The ceremonial officer shouted again: "Welcome Duke Vincent Klein, ...... Mavis Klein"

As soon as the celebrant finished speaking, Vivien walked into the banquet hall one by one. The aristocrats flocked to the Duchess, Vivien and Victor.

The two of them are dragon and phoenix fetuses, and their appearance is five or six points similar, and they are very eye-catching when they stand together.

"Lady Vivien, long time no see." The first to greet Vivien was Catherine, who was glamorous in her red gown.

"Catherine, how are you doing?" Vivien picked up the champagne, and the two walked over to the windowsill to talk.

"In the three months since you left, a lot has happened to Wangdu." Catherine was sarcastic, she had already decided to give up the crown prince.

At first, I felt unwilling and wanted revenge, but I watched the two of them go in and out together every day, and I felt ridiculous inexplicably. She didn't understand why she liked someone like that, and even lost herself?

The king did not approve of the crown prince's engagement to Eunice, first, because her family was too weak to help the crown prince, and second, the aristocratic faction was firmly opposed.

After Eunice found herself in the way of becoming the crown prince, she hurriedly declared that she was just a lover and did not dare to covet the noble status of the crown princess.

Everyone saw that she knew each other, and the voices of opposition gradually disappeared. The queen began to ask Catherine to seduce the crown prince again, but this time she refused, and asked her parents to hurry up and arrange a marriage for her.

There was a clang, and someone's cup shattered not far away.

Vivien and Catherine turned their heads to see Eunice staring in a daze. The two of them followed her line of sight and found that it was Andrea Hoffman at the end.

"I heard that His Majesty the King wants the Crown Prince to marry the Duke's Mansion of Hoffmann." Catherine said nonchalantly.

"Duke Hoffmann's strength is second only to the royal family, and I think Her Majesty the Queen intends to do the same." Vivien knew that in any dynasty, strength meant power.

"It's pathetic, she looks so well protected that she can't even smirk." Catherine believes that people who are too simple cannot survive in the social circle of the royal capital.

"Duke Hoffmann is an old woman, and he can't wait to be loved as an eyeball, where do you need to look at people's eyes."

"I heard that Duke Klein also dotes on you very much."

"That's true."

The two talked for more than ten minutes, when they suddenly heard the ceremonial officer shouting: "Please be quiet, let us welcome the sun of the empire......"

The royals appeared, Vivien shrugged her shoulders and returned to her parents, and Catherine left the windowsill as well.

Everyone respectfully saluted the king and queen, and then the king made a speech and called the feast to begin.

The music played, and the second prince walked up to Andrea with a smile, and the crown prince invited Eunice to dance as usual.

"I wonder if I have the honor to invite Vivien to dance?" A familiar voice came overhead, and Vivien smiled and held out her hand.

"Brother Carol, long time no see."

"It's been a long time."

"Brother Remino seems to be preoccupied, doesn't he like the most lively occasions?"

"He's been in a bad mood lately."

"I heard that he couldn't pursue someone, and he fell out of love."

"I didn't expect you to hear about it."

Vivien danced and talked to Carol. Remino was depressed when Eunice rejected him, but in order to make the other party happy, he decided to convince his family to support the crown prince.

Listening to Carroll's tone, the White family does not intend to participate in the struggle for imperial power, unless Remino becomes the master of the family. Unfortunately, their grandfather was strong and would not have stepped down so early.

After the first dance, Vivien noticed Victor quietly leaving the ballroom, and hurriedly said a word to Carol and left.
