News of the imminent arrival of the Prince of the Frank Empire and the marriage of the Princess of the Reims Empire soon spread in Winlington.

This has brought a lot of fresh topics to the people.

People like to discuss the relationship between the family after dinner, just like some time ago, people were talking about a Dardanelles family buying the Foggy Castle, and this time people began to talk about the marriage between the two countries.

Amazingly, the legendary family that bought the Fog Hidden Castle will also attend the reception banquet hosted by Her Royal Highness the Little Princess for Prince Franck.

So there was a lot of talk that a new aristocracy was about to emerge in Winrington.

As a result, the Dardanelles' entry into high society went very smoothly, and Hotdin, as the best of the liars, wandered among the nobles and nobles, trying to sell the family behind him, and trying to imprint the name Dardanelle into the hearts of every nobleman.

It is a long time to fully integrate into high society and gain recognition from people at this level, but it is not so difficult to just want people to know you and talk about yourself, but it is not so difficult to make an impression on yourself.

The invitation of the little princess was undoubtedly a successful campaign for the Dardanelles, and in just three days, the Dardanelles had begun to be welcomed by celebrities from all walks of life. Some of the nobles began to inquire about Siseldar Daniel, some matchmakers began to come to the door to sell the girls of a certain family, and some invitations to banquets for the upper echelons began to increase significantly.

As for the Dodge Comptoir and the San Marino Comptoir, they had already negotiated the land, and they hoped to take the land as soon as possible and then open a gold refinery.

Hue Igler has come up with some improved technologies, and if these products can be produced in a big way, they can make a lot of money.

In addition, under the care of two large commercial houses, the Danielles family bought a shop in a prime location, and the family had its first stable business channel.

In fact, before this, this so-called mob family did not even have a single shop, and there were only two things for the family's confidence - Xiuyi's alchemy and the financial support of the Weston family.

However, the empty gloves and white wolves will always be a temporary excessive policy, and any big family needs to have enough roots to develop.

Huey decided that the Dardanelles would own at least three shops and a large workshop in Winrington before the alchemy factory was completed, in addition to a pastoral property. All these things were left to Hodding, and it was planned to be completed in three months.

Originally, she just planned to help Christine solve some business troubles, but with the emergence of various things, the Dardanelles family wanted to settle down here, which was something that Xiu Yi himself did not expect at the beginning.

Although the family's exhibition went smoothly, the tests from the shadows also came one after another.

Raschel, who had been holding back, was finally about to make a move.

**—Three days later, a grand welcome ceremony at Winlington Palace began.

The crown prince of the Franque Empire personally came to the Reims Empire, with a total of 2,800 men, including a guard of 1,400 men, a convoy of 300 men for transportation, and a force of 1,700 servants. The entire convoy stretched out a thousand-kilometer-long queue, attracting as many as 100,000 onlookers when entering the city.

The guards of the Frank Empire can be described as quite gorgeous. Walking in front of the procession is a tall and majestic standard-bearer, dressed in golden armor, and the war horse under his crotch is the best thoroughbred gray zebra from Frank's homeland.

Behind the standard-bearer, six hundred cavalry guards, wearing black armor and prominent hideous spikes on their shoulders, holding a cavalry shield in their left hand and a long cavalry spear in their right hand extending out of two horse positions, behind them are draped with the white cloak of the star and moon case tattooed with the symbol of the Frank Empire**, almost to the ground, and the image is majestic and majestic.

Behind the six hundred cavalry were eight hundred infantrymen, two hundred of whom were sword and shield men with broad infantry shields in their hands. This kind of infantry shield is much wider than the cavalry shield, which can reach the width of a person's shoulders and the tip of the bottom, and can form a tight shield armor array on the ground. Their armor was thick and heavy like that of the infantry armor, with fine magical patterns carved into it, apparently specially reinforced.

Behind the sword and shield soldiers was a team of heavy spearmen and archers, and finally a team of 100 mages. The whole procession, carrying a gorgeous convoy, slowly drove through Winrington Avenue in the middle, and was unmoved in the face of a large number of people watching, fully demonstrating its excellent military qualities.

Behind this team was the huge convoy of goods, which was brought into the city with no end in sight.

In order to welcome the arrival of Prince Franck, the Reims Empire also gave a very grand welcome scene.

The entrance to the city gate is covered with flowers, and the branches are covered with ribbons, and the choir from the church sings carols.

The two empires, which had fought to the death not long ago, showed the highest etiquette at this moment, as if they had become the most irreversible friends......

That evening, Winrington Palace hosted a gala dinner for Prince Frank Richard.

At the end of the dinner, the little princess Avril invited Prince Richard to her bedchamber, where the little princess prepared another welcome banquet for the prince.

"What do you think about this, Amelia?" asked the girl beside him, walking on the way to the bedchamber. This woman is the same girl who had an encounter with the Dardanelles as the Etter family.

Richard himself was a slender and muscular young man with golden curls and a domineering look. It is said that this prince was also a prominent general in the Francoian Empire, and he once commanded his own team and fought many outstanding battles. Not every heir to the empire was incompetent, at least for the Frank Empire, although they lost the war, they were clearly much better than the Reims Empire in terms of heirs.

Had it not been for the promises and assurances of the Church of the Holy Spirit and the insistence of Richard himself, perhaps Monarch Frank would never have allowed his most beloved son to set foot on enemy territory. Despite the imminent signing of a peace agreement, both the Reims and the Francks still define each other as enemies in their bones.

Walking in this land full of enemies, you must be extra careful in what you say and do.

Amelia was the envoy sent by the Franconians to serve the crown prince. Few people know that this pure-looking girl is a well-known dark hall master in the Frank Empire, in charge of the most deterrent assassination force in the Frank Empire - the Knights of the Bloody Night.

"Perhaps...... I want to see what kind of person my future husband is. After a moment's thought, Amelia replied.

Richard laughed, "Amelia, I'm not a good listener. The truth makes more sense to me, if my soldier gives me the answers I need with a perfunctory attitude on the battlefield, then he will be executed. ”

Amelia immediately replied, "I am not your soldier, and it is not my duty to protect you. ”

"Yes, the Knights of the Bloody Night's way of doing things is always to attack, attack, attack, attack. I know what you're here for, but that doesn't stop you from making some judgments about Princess Avril's actions, does it?"

After thinking for a moment, Amelia said, "I don't know what Her Royal Highness Princess Avril means, but according to the information I have received, Princess Avril has someone else in mind. ”

"Oh?" said Prince Richard, raising his eyebrows, neither surprised nor angry. Political marriage can be a person's life, but it can't be a person's feelings. Avril may be a celestial beauty, but he doesn't necessarily have to be obsessed with it. Feelings are very strange things, and no one can tell who they will fall in love with before fate arrives. Interestingly, this alone should not have made it so difficult for Amelia to answer, so he looked at his most capable hand and asked in a deep voice, "And then?"

Amelia replied, "The person she likes is likely to be directly related to my mission. ”

"Huy Gler?" Richard's eyes suddenly sharpened, "You found him?"

"Not yet, but we've gotten the word that Hue Egler will be coming to Winlington. Maybe he's in the city now. ”

Richard nodded.

For the Francos, Huy Glerle is undoubtedly a lucky star, and if it weren't for the Royo City incident, the Franks might still be fighting to the death with Lance **.

As one of the former commanders, Richard still can't forget the bloody scenes on the battlefield. Those terrible monsters covered in bones, mechanical golems that never seemed to fall. When they are alone, they are not very powerful, but when they appear in the thousands, even the Sanctuary can only retreat.

Once the Franck Empire was infinitely suspicious of where the Reims Empire got these many resources and produced a large number of puppets, until last year, a wanted teenager did a shocking case in Xiangye City, and the name of Xiu Yiglaire finally gradually appeared in front of the Franck people.

They began to inquire about the news through various means, and gradually realized that this was a teenager who had the ability to change the fate of a country.

"I heard that Her Royal Highness the little princess once went to the legendary Purgatory Island and met Siegler on the island. Since then, Her Royal Highness the little princess has been infatuated with this young man. Of course, these are just rumors in the palace, you know, many of them are not true, but there are also many of them. For us, it is not difficult to get the news, and it is the most difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. Amelia said to Richard.

"And what do you think of the realism?"

Amelia said quickly: "Judging from the information that has been available so far, the things about Purgatory Island are basically all facts, and Xiu Igler has many powerful alchemy techniques, the most valuable of which is the spatial aspect, which has been confirmed. What is being verified is his puppet-making skills, and the word from Royo City is that Hue Glare used at least two strange puppets in that battle, in addition to turning a Sky Samurai into a killing machine. But the affair between Hue Igler and Avril Lavril could never be confirmed. ”

Richard thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter if Avril likes Hue or not, what matters is whether Hue Egler has that heart for Avril. Judging by his behavior, I don't think Avril had much influence on him, but not necessarily. A good man will make a clear distinction between public and private, and treat reason and emotion differently. Perhaps Siouigler is one such person, and if that were the case, things would have been much easier. Maybe I can get some information about him from the princess. Oh, by the way, you've been here for so long, you should have some specific goals, right?"

Amelia: "On our way to Winlington, we met a family with a very interesting young man who struck me like Hue Iglare. It's a pity that I haven't met Xiuyi before, so I can't be sure, but I've sent someone to check their details. The problem is that I don't have enough manpower, and I still have limited information. ”

"I'll send an extra group of people to help you complete the task. It's more important than marrying a princess. If we can get the alchemy in the hands of Thuyglare......" Richard's face became cold and deep, and he looked up at the sky: "Even if the war resumes, it won't be a big deal. ”

——— as dusk fell, Thuey and Brian Buckler, Christine and Lilith arrived at Winrington Royal Gardens.

This is where Avril holds a grand welcome ball.

The sky is filled with brilliant ribbons, and the lights with magical flames turn the entire Royal Garden into a garden that never sleeps.

In the open area in the center of the garden, a bonfire is lit, a long table is set up, and waiters in white gilded waiter clothes walk around and busily serve visitors.

Huey slowly took out the invitation note and handed it to the guard: "The Dardanelles." ”

The guard looked at the post carefully and then looked at Huey: "Sisserdar Daniel?"

"Exactly. ”

"Please be checked. ”

"No problem. ”

After the inspection, the guards gave Xiui four masks.

"What does that mean?" said Xiuyi, flickering slightly.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess's arrangement is called a masquerade ball. Her Royal Highness wanted to give Prince Frank a special welcome party, and all the guests wore masks, and no one was allowed to take them off until they were ordered to be removed. She thinks it adds to the mystery of the guests and the fun of the ball. Feel free to guess who is under the mask and verbally test each other, but no one can voluntarily reveal their identity until the mask is removed. ”

"Original...... So. Xiu Yi took the mask with a calm face.

In his hands was a little devil with hideous horns.

Xiu Yi slowly put on the demon mask and turned back to the person behind him, "Let's go in." ”

At the same time, at the other side of the palace, Raschel, the old hound, was able to enter without inspection. He was greeted by the princess's guard, Pagitra Sher, who had only one servant with him, that is, Chakle.

Soon after the two entered, the Marquis de Barriman was also invited to the palace for the reception. Perhaps it was the need for etiquette, or perhaps he was entrusted by someone to bring his own etiquette teacher, Baron Harden, and his family.

Julia, who saw the palace for the first time, exclaimed in surprise, "The palace is so big!", which drew a stern reprimand from the baron.

Suspicious courtship envoys, treacherous Imperial hounds, affectionate Imperial princesses, and the Harden family, who once gave them a lot of help. Guests from all over the world finally converged at this moment to form a huge turbulence. The Winrington Royal Garden Ball is like the eye of a typhoon, cloaked in a gentle and romantic tulle coat before it actually soars. Once the storm rises, it will surely sweep all directions.
