Black Knight From Blue Star

Chapter 70 Invisible smoke

 This eldest prince cannot be his enemy.

 He is too stupid, and he has no city.

  It's not like the kind of person who does such cruel things as "bribing, hiring murderers, and genocide".

Furthermore, based on his behavior in the next few years, this person's strategic literacy does not seem to be very good.

 The first candidate is eliminated.

 But for the sake of safety, Hadi asked one more question: "Is the eldest prince interested in doing business with me?"

"Business?" Gruss snorted: "What business? For the sake of you capturing that idiot Galen, I am very happy, so I will listen to your request for the time being."

"Ore business." Hardy said with a smile: "I am from Hexi County and am a vassal of Lord Virginia. The small territory I own has good quality ore. I wonder if His Highness Grus has any. interest."

Grews was stunned for a moment and asked: "What kind of mine? What is the output, what is the quality, how much can be mined in a month, and how much is the freight?"

 Hearing about the ore business, Grus's eyes lit up.

"The quality of tin ore is around 3, and will not be lower than 3. The monthly output is about 30 tons. If we want to increase production, we can raise another 20 tons. The freight... depends on the season." Hardy said one by one. answer.

Gruss came closer and asked with some joy: "How much are you willing to pay for a ton?"

Tin ore alone is of little use, but it can be used to smelt bronze and then cast bronze coins.

 After finishing, the benefits will be great.

 “This number.” Hardy extended a slap.

"It's indeed a good deal." Gruss nodded vigorously: "Why is it sold so cheaply? Is there anything you need my help with?"

 “Why does Your Highness think so?”

“You can completely sell the tin mine to the Jeanne family, but you are willing to sell it to me.” The eldest prince smiled, with a look that saw through Hardy’s inner pride: “You want me to introduce my sister to you?”

 Lady Anna’s face became strange when she heard the eldest prince’s words.

Hadi shook his head: "What I want is not a princess..."

“Could it be my aunt?” The eldest prince looked surprised: “Although my aunt is very beautiful, she is not easy to mess with.”

 “Why does your highness think that what I ask for is beauty?”

 Grews subconsciously looked at Mrs. Anna next to him.

　Hardy slapped himself on the forehead.

 Damn it, this idiot.

His thoughts are either about money or beauty.

It is absolutely impossible to be the murderer who killed his 'father'.

"I just want to ask for one thing." Hardy whispered: "I am very interested in history books. I wonder if Your Highness Gruss can take me to the history library to have a look?"

"What do you think that thing is for?" Gruss shrugged: "The official position of historian has been vacant for more than thirty years, and I went there several times when I was a child. Almost all the books in it were rotten and there was no one to manage them. "

 “Why not repair it? Books are very valuable.”

Grews sighed and said: "It will cost a lot of money to repair, and if it is a martial arts book, it can be repaired. History books...what's the use of those things?"

Hmm... The princes and princesses of the Chapo faction can completely clear their suspicions.

 Just like this... Something seemed to be gradually darkening in Hardy's eyes.

"Your Highness Nagrus, can you introduce me to Mr. Leonard Clovis?" But then, Hardy smiled again, the sun was bright and cheerful.

 “That’s what you’re asking for?”

 “Of course.” Hardy nodded.

"Okay." Grus looked at Hardy with a strange look in his eyes: "No wonder you like to play with Prince."

At this time, even Mrs. Anna came over: "Hardy, you don't really have that kind of hobby, do you?"

Hardy was stunned for a moment.

 At this time, Geslu pointed to a boy not far away.

 “That’s Leonard Clovis.”

Hardy looked over, and then his face couldn't help but fall.

This Leonard Clovis is actually similar in appearance to Prince.

 It’s just that Prince is the warm type, while this one is the cool type.     She is worthy of being a royal family, her genes are really good.

 There are almost no ugly men or women, but there are a lot of beauties.

 “I didn’t mean that.”

Hardy shook his head. It was useless to talk about his feelings now. If he really knew Leonard in the past, the stain of his masculine style would never be washed away in his lifetime.

So I had to give up temporarily on ‘getting to know’ this stunning ‘beauty’.

“I will talk to you about the ore in detail tomorrow.”

 After saying that, Prince Grus left to talk to others.

 Soon, the banquet officially began.

The king gave a welcome speech on the observation deck on the third floor, let everyone have a good time, and then returned to the castle.

 Then the musicians and dancers enter.

  Drinks and delicacies also began to arrive.

 The atmosphere became lively.

 Lady Anna followed Hardy closely. Even though many young nobles came to invite her to dance or want to get to know her, she refused.

Hadi was specially tasting the delicacies specially prepared by the royal family.

I have to say that the royal family still has some skills when it comes to food.

 There are a lot more kinds of food, and it is indeed much better than the food at Jeanne’s house.

 When Hardy was almost done eating, Princeps appeared out of nowhere.

She looked at Mrs. Anna next to Hardy and smiled tightly: "Hardy, who is this?"

 “You don’t know her?”

Hardy found it incredible that Mrs. Anna was also a member of the royal family. There was no reason for Princeps not to know.

Mrs. Anna, on the other hand, laughed so hard: "Oh, is Princes so forgetful? We all met at a banquet three months ago."

“Haha, I’m sorry, I do tend to forget some people who don’t have any characteristics.”

 “You can’t forget men, right?” Mrs. Anna’s face looked sarcastic no matter how she smiled.

The air gradually became weird.

Princes looked over and asked: "Hadi, this is a rare opportunity. Don't you want to be with me?"

Hardi said aloud: "Princes, I am now Lady Anna's guard, so naturally I have to be with her."

 Mrs. Anna had a victorious expression on her face.

Princes took a deep breath and returned to his usual warm and lovely look: "Then I'll come back to you tomorrow."

 Then he left.

Mrs. Anna looked at Prince's back: "I can't tell whether this person is a man or a woman."

 “You don’t know either?”

"It stands to reason that he should be a boy. After all, when he was just born, I went to his home to celebrate." Mrs. Anna hugged Hardy's arm again and continued: "But now he looks more and more like a girl. , I have no idea at all.”

Hardy shrugged: "Forget it, let's not consider these issues. Whether he is a man or a woman, what does it have to do with me."

“Some nobles like to kill men and women, are you the same?” Lady Anna looked sideways at the man next to her.

 “I only like women, beautiful women.”

Mrs. Anna covered her mouth and chuckled: "You are so sensible, then I will tell you a little secret."

 “Huh?” Hardy looked at Mrs. Anna with a look on his face.

"There are two Annas, but they can only be counted as one." Mrs. Anna came closer, half of her body pressed against Hadi, soft and fragrant: "But one Anna, or two Annas, it's up to you."

　Hardy became even more confused.

"So, continue to explore my secrets." Mrs. Anna smiled charmingly: "Maybe there will be great rewards."
