"Your Excellency, someone is asking to see you. The servant respectfully reported.

Dick reached out and rubbed his forehead, there were too many people visiting his house in the past two days. After all, such a young duke is rare in the history of the empire, and the future is naturally limitless, and the nobles must of course take advantage of his promotion to make good friendships. Therefore, the threshold of the Duke's Palace has been almost trampled in the past two days, and the gifts sent by various officials and nobles have been piled up into a small mountain.

Although Dick is tired of coping, he can only hold on, a person's liliang is limited after all, and Dick must have a good relationship with these powerful ministers if he wants to achieve his goals, so the necessary social interaction is still inevitable. That's probably the only disadvantage of having power.

But this time the man who came to see Dick was a little different. He was dressed as an ordinary civilian, plain and clean. A face is also mediocre, and I can't see anything special.

"Who are you?" Dick asked.

"Lord Huiyu, the villain's name is Puro, and he is the head of the intelligence agent arranged by Lord Valne in the imperial capital. The man spoke.

Dick looked at him again, "Weishenme, I haven't seen you before?"

Proro immediately replied: "Back to my lord, Lord Valne believes that the imperial capital is where all kinds of intelligence are concentrated, so he spent a lot of effort to form the intelligence network of the imperial capital, but because our intelligence system in the imperial capital was not perfect before, Lord Valne did not introduce me to your lordship. If the adult is suspicious of the villain's identity, you can go and ask Lord Varne. ”

Dick said lightly: "I will naturally ask, you can stay in this mansion first, and I will instruct my subordinates to arrange a suitable room for you." ”

"Lord Xie," Puluo immediately replied.

Then the servants took Proh down, and in the living room, Dick was the only one left, and he frowned, and took out two invitations to the banquet from his bosom, signed by the eldest prince Yorkson and the fourth prince Longer respectively.

A black mist wafted out of Dick's body, and in the blink of an eye, Demihera appeared in the seat next to him out of thin air: "Boy, what are you bothering about?"

Dick frowned, "I am in a high position now, and it is impossible to remain neutral anymore, otherwise I will only be disgusted by both sides." However, this choice must be made carefully, once you stand on the wrong team, I am afraid that it will be doomed. ”

Di Mihe stretched out his jade fingers, twisted up the two invitations, and looked at them.

Dick suddenly asked, "Where do you think I should go to?"

Dimihera shrugged her shoulders: "You have already said on the battlefield outside Mirrock, that you are a military general, and you are not suitable to defect to the civilian side. ”

Dick frowned and said, "But now the eldest prince Yorkson has sent me an invitation, which means that he doesn't mind my identity." ”

Dimihra added, "You also said that the empire will rely more on the shili of military generals in the future. ”

"That's just a possibility......"

Dimhera suddenly snapped up: "Boy, I usually see you very simply, why do you have a mother-in-law at such a critical time? Don't worry about it, just go here!" he said and threw an invitation card on the table in front of Dick. Dick glanced at it, it was an invitation from the fourth prince, Long'er.

"Weishenme?" Dick asked, confused.

"If you don't take refuge in this lon, then I won't save him in vain that day!" said Dimichra.

Dressed in a scarlet-trimmed snow-white shirt, a well-ironed gown, a high hat, and a cane with a skull carved at the top, Dick sat in an ornate carriage and galloped all the way to the mansion of the Four Princes.

Dimichra sat across from him, and today she was dressed in a black evening dress, noble and elegant, and her black hair was pulled up high to form a bun. It adds a dignified to her wild beauty.

Outside the mansion was already filled with all sorts of luxurious carriages, and Dick's coachman managed to find a secluded corner to stop the carriage. Then he got out of the driver's seat and opened the carriage door for Dick. Dick stepped out of the carriage with the door in one hand and a cane in the other. Then he stretched out his arm in front of the carriage door, and a moment later a slender hand came out of the carriage and rested on his arm, and then a little foot in a black crystal slipper stepped on the pedal, and a delicate cheek poked out of the carriage, and Dimichra took Dick by the arm and walked out of the carriage. The two came to the door of the Fourth Prince's mansion.

The scarlet carpet stretched all the way to the door, and Dick stepped into the hall with Dimihera's bare hand and stepped on the soft carpet.

The banquet hall was gorgeous and grand, and four or five crystal chandeliers illuminated the hall as bright as day. Three long strip-shaped tables were placed in the center of the hall, on which were placed silver candlesticks, snow-white cloths, bright red wines, and delicious food.

Several waiters, dressed in black dresses and carrying silver trays, walked up and down the hall. The hall was already crowded with aristocrats, who were either talking and laughing, drinking alone, or strolling. Greet each other politely.

Standing in the center of the hall, surrounded by a group of ladies and ladies, the fourth prince Long'er had an irresistible attraction to the opposite sex due to his handsome and dashing appearance, burly and muscular body, and iron-blooded battlefield momentum.

Seeing Dick's arrival, Longer hurriedly got out of the crowd of flowers and walked in front of Dick with a goblet: "Duke Dick, thank you very much for taking the time to come to my banquet. ”

As he spoke, his eyes flew to Dick's side as he glanced at Dimihera. Combining the nobility of angels and the enchantment of demons, Dimihra was dressed in a simple black evening gown with no other frills, but she alone was enough to steal the style. Longer couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple and swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"The fourth prince is polite, it is my honor to come to your mansion to participate in the banquet. Dick smiled.

"Miss Dimichra, I am honored to be here with you. Oh, forgive me for inquiring into your name. "I remember the last time we met was on the battlefield outside Mirrock. Thanks to your rescue, Miss, I am able to stand here today, and I would like to thank Miss for this. ”

"No thanks, Fourth Prince, you are too polite. Dimihera chuckled.

Long Er suddenly slapped his forehead heavily and said with a smile: "Look at me! I forgot to invite you in, two of you, please come in!"

Dick and the two followed behind the four princes to the depths of the banquet hall, and Long Er said as he walked: "This is a banquet to celebrate our Milo Empire's great destruction of the invading army of Faun, Lord Dirk, you should be the protagonist." ”

Dick smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Longer has praised it falsely, if it weren't for His Highness and the marshal holding the city and exhausting the elite of the Faun Empire, I would have led the army to die." The protagonists of this banquet should be His Royal Highness Longer, and the marshal is talented. ”

Long Erxin said that it was good that you knew, and his chin couldn't help but lift slightly, but he still smiled on the surface: "Why do you say that? ”

The two were hypocritical and polite again, and after leading Dick and Dick to the center of the hall, Longer introduced them to the guests of the banquet, most of whom were military generals from the court.

"This is Lord Duke Dick, and he is also the leader of the Southwest Demon Hunting Legion. ”

"This is Lord Lupsas, the Imperial Marshal. ”

"This is Lord Avalon, the deputy commander of the Imperial Northern Legion. ”

"This is Lord Alex, the Captain of the Imperial Eastern Rees Fleet. ”

"This is Lord Ogur, a general of the Imperial Southern Legion. ”

......

"Boy, I can't stand it anymore, this guy is so long-winded, I really shouldn't have saved him in the first place!" Dimihera's voice sounded in Dick's heart through the pact between the two.

Dick smiled and nodded at the big men introduced by Longer, and said in his heart: "But you want to come with yourself, and now you regret it?"

Dimichra was also smiling on the surface, but while everyone was not paying attention, she quietly pinched Dick: "Don't you know all these people?

Dick gasped in pain, and said indignantly: "Forgive you and you won't understand, Long'er introduced me to these people, which is equivalent to acknowledging my status in the military general faction, which is completely a formality." ”

"Humans are such a nuisance!"

Except for the generals guarding the frontier, almost all the high-ranking generals of the empire gathered in this banquet hall, but they no longer wore military uniforms, but gowns and gentleman's hats. Longer introduced everyone to the whole thing, which is actually equivalent to one sentence: "From now on, Dick is his own person!"

However, at this moment, the waiter at the door shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness the Grand Prince has arrived! Lord McAllan has arrived!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

The eldest prince, who looked like a weak scholar, had already laughed loudly and stepped in from the door, and Prime Minister McCallan followed closely behind him. Facing a room full of iron-blooded generals, Yorkson's face was still calm: "My dear brother, how can you hold such a grand banquet and forget to invite me as an elder brother?"

Long Er was stunned for a moment, and said with a dry smile, "It turned out to be my elder brother, I'm really sorry, my servant forgot to send it to your mansion when he distributed the invitation, probably because your mansion is too inconspicuous." hahahaha......”

Yorkson didn't care, he walked gracefully, calmly came to Dick and Dimihera, caught a glimpse of Dimihera, his footsteps were also stunned, but then returned to normal, smiled and said to Dick: "Lord Duke Dick, congratulations on your promotion!"

Dick replied: "Don't dare, don't dare, Your Highness is serious." ”

McAllen, who was behind Yorkson, said: "Duke Dick's future is limitless, and such a young duke is also very rare in the history of the empire. ”

Dick replied with a smile: "The Prime Minister has praised it falsely. ”

Yorkson smiled: "It's just that the career is sinister, and I hope Lord Dick will pay more attention." Speaking of this, he glanced at Long'er and said with a smile, "Dear brother, as an elder brother, I will take my leave first, you must take care!

With that, Yorkson had already taken a step out of the hall, and Prime Minister McCallan also said goodbye to all the officials he knew, claiming that he had state affairs to deal with.

Dimihera said in Dick's heart again: "Boy, are these two guys sick, and Weishenme is going to leave again after only a few words of coming here?"

Dick said lightly: "Because they have already expressed what they want to say - 'you will regret your choice'." ”
