Tyrant Code

Chapter 171

The king felt that he had firmly controlled the rhythm and grasped the secret of controlling his subjects.

It's not that he doesn't cherish talents, on the contrary, he has a good impression of De Monte and Gordo.Although Demont was the son of the Mad Queen, he never showed the slightest interest in the throne—he only showed extraordinary interest in the two things of beating the Pope and promoting Goldo Moran.Not to mention Gordo, he not only has the ability, but also the character and temperament are perfect, maybe the Holy Lord really infused a different kind of preference when he created him.

... If, hypothetically, they could always be their right-hand men, that would of course be all the better.

Thinking of this, the king looked at Goldo and Silia who were talking happily in the distance, and showed a satisfied smile.

The king turned his head and gave the Minister of Internal Affairs beside him a look.The Minister of Internal Affairs nodded, and then raised his hand to gesture to the royal band beside him.

The melodious and brilliant music sounded, and the king appeared on the terrace under the eyes of all the people. Looking down at the beautiful clothes and temples in the banquet hall, he delivered a series of speeches that were neither long nor short, mainly praising the bravery of the Moran Legion. And it was announced that the frontier territory would be the king's bishop's fief - that is to say, that territory would nominally belong to Gordo in the future.

"Your father is not only an excellent regiment commander, but also an excellent lord." The king said to Gordon with a warm smile, "If you learn more from him, you will know how to manage the territory well."

Gordon breathed a sigh of relief, hearing that the king was planning to hand over the territory to him, so he also responded to the king with a smile: "Thank you for your love."

The king raised his glass first, and drank with the nobles in the banquet hall, and then announced that the ball could officially begin.

"You haven't found a dance partner yet, have you?" Goldo stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture to Celia beside him, "How about we dance together today?"

Celia put her hands on the back of his hand, raised her skirt and curtseyed, stepped on her high heels and stepped sideways, ready to dance with him, but she still teased: "There are so many beautiful girls here today, don't you?" Going to get to know each other, but clinging to me as an acquaintance, is it interesting?"

"Please forgive me." Gordo shook his head, his crow-colored hair swayed slightly with his movements, his eyes were like two pools of magical lakes, with soft waves, which made Xili aroused Yadu was stunned for a moment, he didn't even notice that the music was playing, and he didn't have time to make a move.Fortunately, Gordo was proficient in dancing and guided her to turn around and move around. Celia quickly followed the rhythm in a panic, but her cheeks were soon stained with a light pink.

... angry.She is a young girl, dazzled by a man's beauty, and almost took the wrong dance step, this is simply unreasonable!

The more Xilia thought about it, the angrier she became. She stomped her high heels and danced with her arms around Gordo's shoulders.

Goldo didn't know why Celia suddenly got into a fight with him, but in recent years, Celia's character has developed from a proud top student to a cunning witch, probably because of her mentor Lu After staying with Na for a long time, it's something I've heard and seen -- in short, it's not like this kind of thing has happened before, so Gordo just laughed it off and let go of his mind to discuss dancing skills with her.

Grand Duchess Celia Valsado's dancing skills are naturally full. After all, this is her skill as a famous lady to support her appearance, but Gordo dances on par with her, and it doesn't look like she is used to it at all. Push the person who refuses most social dinners.

For a moment, neither of them could get rid of the other, and the dance steps became more and more exquisite and beautiful. The people around them unknowingly made room for them, and many people stopped to watch the two of them dance lightly, from time to time. Whisper each other.

At the end of the song, the two saluted each other gracefully, and the nobles around them applauded lightly.

Goldo: "..." I suddenly realized that the atmosphere was a bit too much.

Holding the wine glass, His Majesty the King laughed a few times, walked through the crowd, and walked to the two of them: "It seems that you get along well? Xilia, compared with today's dance, you danced with your uncle before. Those are all too perfunctory."

Xi Liya was stunned, a little embarrassed, but the king had already walked in front of her, so she could only complain delicately: "No way, uncle, you like to talk nonsense."

Goldo: "...Uncle?"

"Haha, this is my only niece, Xilia Roseni Valsado." The king took Xilia's hand and put it in his arms, "It is also the rose of our Celanca Empire, The most beautiful and richest Grand Duchess."

Celia: "...Uncle!"

Celia is almost socially dead.

Does uncle know that she and Gordon used to be classmates in the same class!

Goldo was silent for a moment, then sighed, and greeted with a smiling voice: "I see, it's nice to meet you, Miss Valsado." He had already guessed that Celia's background was unusual, but he didn't expect that Her family background is so prominent.

Xilia: "...Why do you keep calling me like that? You can just call me Xilia." Then, Xilia pushed the king with her hands, "Uncle, go to another place quickly, don't stay here Keep an eye on me—or I'll never go to any balls again!"

King: "Why, are you afraid that I will disturb you and this young man here?"

Goldo originally listened to the uncle and niece talking with a smile on his face, but as the conversation progressed, an alarm bell suddenly rang in his heart——

Your Majesty what does this mean?Wouldn't it be matching him and Xilia?

But fortunately, Xilia was strong enough. She didn't know if she understood the teasing in the king's tone, and blushed and said angrily, "Uncle, what are you talking about, I have someone I like!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire banquet hall fell into a moment of silence.

The king's smile froze on his face.After a while, he coughed twice, and then he leaned into Xilia's ear and asked, "When did it happen?! Who is the target?"

"My classmate...his name is Paul." When mentioning the person she likes, Celia hesitated for a few seconds, but she quickly recovered her previous calm attitude and said, "We have been talking for a long time, Goldo also knows about this. Didn’t you arrange a blind date for me, saying that you can do whatever you want? I was thinking about proposing to Paul after graduation..."

"What? Marriage proposal? Who is with whom?!" His majesty finally changed his face, and couldn't help raising his voice a lot, "And that Paul, who is he from? Is their family a marquis or a duke? What--"

"It's nothing. Their family is very ordinary." Celia was a little anxious, "Can we not talk about this here!"

The king took a deep breath and covered his head: "Let's go to the back hall to talk...Talk slowly and clearly."

Seeing that this conversation was about to turn into a family dispute, Gordo coughed a little awkwardly: "Um, Your Majesty, Celia... Your Highness, I will take my leave first...?" The two chatted slowly. .

At this time, the king didn't have the strength to continue to match the marriage between the two of them, so he could only take his niece away one by one.

Goldo looked at the backs of his nephew and uncle leaving in a hurry. Although he was a little worried about whether Celia would be able to win the freedom of love, he couldn't help but feel a little grateful.

Fortunately, Xilia has her own opinion and has someone she likes, otherwise, it would take a lot of effort to refuse the king's messed up couples.

He really wanted to say to everyone openly, "I have someone I like, and he is my mentor Atrichia"... But I am afraid that it can only make him and Atrichia the people of the capital. A gimmick to talk about after dinner.

In this world, it is not uncommon for a man to like a man, but if you refuse a wife for a man, especially a wife with a noble family background and good conditions in all aspects, then people will probably think you are crazy.Using this excuse to refuse marriage openly will also be regarded as a disgraceful thing.

Gordon, who was forced to go underground just after falling in love, was worried.

He won't be like a star in the future, he can only engage in hidden marriages, right?

He involuntarily walked to the wine area and raised his glass.Although his expression was cold and calm, a few sharp-eyed or observant people noticed that he was depressed.

...The conversation between Xilia and the king before the contact seemed to be that Goldo fell in love with the grand duchess at first sight, and the king also meant to be a matchmaker for the two of them, but he never expected that the grand duchess would have secretly promised a poor boy. Gordon seemed very disappointed when he heard it.

Rumors spread quietly, and some male nobles inevitably gloated about it. Just as they wanted to share with their female companions and feel elated, they found that the surrounding female relatives looked at Gordo more and more lovingly——

Is there any reason for this?

Can you do whatever you want because you are good-looking?

Gordon, who aroused public outrage, was unaware of this.

He just felt that the wine in the palace was indeed reserved for the royal family, and it tasted different, but he still preferred the bottle that Demont gave him earlier.

After a few glasses of wine, his face turned rosy.

He was about to turn around and serve a few glasses of good wine to Burrien and his father Kasar when he found a hand on his shoulder.

A masculine hand that can vaguely remind people of the beauty of flesh and blood even if they are wearing white gloves.

Goldo: "..."

He moved his gaze upwards, and sure enough, he saw Atricia in a white dress with high blond hair.

As a clergyman, Atricia wears spacious and elegant robes most of the time. With her long golden hair, she naturally has a sacred and noble temperament.He seldom wears tight-fitting dresses that are popular among nobles in the royal capital like today—in fact, this is a dress that is popular among wealthy nobles with aesthetic taste—waistline and legline are cut to fit The clothes he wore were simple and crisp, and with his long golden hair tied into a ponytail, he was exquisite and elegant with a touch of elegance.

...Actually, Gordo privately thought that this gorgeous but youthful outfit was more suitable for Atricea.Coupled with the sharpness in Atrium's emerald green eyes, they are so beautiful that people can hardly speak.

Gordo took the hand with a smile and kissed the back of his hand lightly. Just as he was about to ask "Why are you here", Atricia gently pinched his chin.

Yatricia leaned close to Gordon's ear, her voice was slightly hoarse: "... a blind date, right?"

Contrary to Atrium's expectation, Gordo did not explain to him softly this time with a good-natured smile.Instead, he took another glass of wine from the wine table at the side, handed it to Attricia's mouth, and said with a smile: "Yes, but what's the matter? ... The people in this room combined are not as good-looking as you .”

After hearing this, Atricia felt a lot of irony in his heart, but the expression on his face became more and more dangerous: "Listen to you, you've already read it all, haven't you?"

"Teacher, you are so unreasonable. My eyes are not white. When I see it, I see it." After speaking, Goldo put down the wine glass, and his whole body tilted a lot in the direction of Atricia. Then he took Atricia's hand and pressed it to his chest ambiguously, "Seeing is seeing... But you are the only one who went to my heart in the end. If you don't believe me, I can even swear to the Holy Lord .”

Atricia: "..."

Yatrixia: "Hmph, the Holy Master is too lazy to take care of your crap." But she still exerted strength in her hands, and took advantage of the momentum to hold the person in front of her in her arms.

He understood that the man was already drunk.It looked like there were only four or five empty wine glasses on the table...but he seemed to have had at most three glasses before.It was pretty normal back then.

So there are only three glasses of alcohol?

Yatricia silently memorized this data.But getting Goldo drunk doesn't seem to help either.Others got drunk, some went crazy, and some uttered the truth after drinking, but Gordo's IQ did not drop significantly after he was drunk, but he became rhetorical.With that extremely lethal face, Atricia now just wants to drag him into a room where no one is around to wake him up, so as not to attract bees and butterflies.

"Ah, my father and the others are still over there." Gordo raised his face and smiled, "It's better to hit the sun than choose another day, why don't we go say hello?"

Atricia looked at the increasingly secretive eyes of the nobles around her, and thought it was better to forget it—it would be really bad if Casar Moran fought with him in this kind of place.

Goldo seemed to see what Atricia was thinking: "My father won't fight with you, after all..."

As soon as Gordon finished speaking, he felt a fierce stare staring at him, almost burning through his back.He touched the bridge of his nose, turned his head a little cautiously——

Sure enough, Casal Moran was standing not far away with a dark face, as if he had caught a chrysanthemum that had sneaked into his melon field to steal food in the dark.
