scepter

For a while, many people looked at Yannick and Orthea, and even Alfonso VIII, who was talking to Prince Felton, looked over from the corner of his eye.

If the stalemate continues, it is obvious that the focus of gossip will continue to watch. He thought for a second, and decisively chose to hold Princess Orthea's hand.

"It's a great honor to be invited by you, and I would like to be your first dance partner tonight."

The apprehension in the princess' eyes instantly turned into full of surprise, so simple that people could understand it at a glance.

It is amazing that such a powerful emperor can give birth to such a daughter.

Everyone watched in amazement Princess Orthea and the silver-haired bishop danced lightly in the center of the hall. Following their dance steps, those who were also dancing around quietly stopped to make room for them, and the whole dance floor suddenly became The world of the priest and the princess.

To be honest, Yannick Hill's movements were not very skillful. After all, as a priest, this is not a necessary skill, but fortunately, there was no embarrassment. After two or three rounds, he gradually entered the state, and his movements no longer seemed so stiff.

"I'm sorry, I seldom dance." Yannick said to Orthea.

"It's okay, I'm very happy, you agreed to my invitation, I thought it would not be successful!" The princess sipped her lips, her face was cheerful and her eyes were bright.

"In your eyes, do I have a big airs?" Yannick joked.

"Of course not!" The princess was eager to explain, her dance steps were messed up, and she almost missed the priest's feet. "I have never seen a more kind priest than you!"

These words are too straightforward. If other priests hear it, they can immediately give Yanick a magic bag of hatred. Yanick can naturally see that this girl may have a little bit of love for him, but this It's not a good thing, and the other party didn't tell the truth, so he can't take the initiative to say, "Your Highness, you'd better save yourself, I'm a priest, I can't get married!"

After finally finishing the dance under the amazed eyes of everyone, Yannick almost subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, and sent the princess back. He finally understood the meaning of the most difficult to bear beauty's grace, and greeted Ai Fuli Waiting for the playful eyes of others, he showed a wry smile, shook his head, and did not speak.

Ten thousand steps back, even if he is not a priest now, he will not list Princess Orseya as the first choice for marriage. Beauty is beautiful, just appreciate it. If you marry her, there will be a powerful father-in-law on top. Yannick didn't think that Alfonso VIII was a fool.

Similarly, a person with a personality like Chris, even without Yannick, would definitely not obey the orders of the House of Elders and marry Princess Orthea as his wife. Although he is now a prince, in the eyes of the world, this The prince has been inferior to others since he was born. He is the son of a courtesan and an illegitimate child not recognized by the royal family. Men will not want to.

From the current point of view, Alfonso VIII has an ambiguous attitude and has not clearly expressed his intention to marry his daughter to him.

In fact, Yannick has thought about it more than once. From the perspective of conspiracy theory, Alfonso VIII raised his daughter in such a way.

A pure and innocent daughter like a flower can bring him more political benefits than a shrewd and capable daughter. Not to mention, this kind and melodious princess has already served the Charlemagne Empire on the mainland. Won a lot of impression points.

Of course, Yannick felt that it was very possible that he was thinking wildly, and Alfonso VIII should not be such a scumbag.

Just when he let his thoughts run wild, Chris had finished talking with Alfonso VIII, who was surrounded by other nobles to greet or fawn on him. The former did not come to him, but turned to Alfonso VIII Princess Seya walked over.

As a princess, Orthea fits the fantasy of almost all men. Not everyone is as indifferent to beautiful women as Yannick. On the premise that Alfonso VIII has not clearly announced the princess's marriage partner, of course everyone There is a chance, if you are lucky enough to marry this princess who is favored by His Majesty the Emperor, you can save at least 30 years of struggle.

Because of the distance, the silver-haired bishop couldn't hear their conversation, but he saw that Chris's movements seemed to invite dancing, and Princess Orthea seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally put her hand on Chris's palm, Follow him onto the dance floor.

Everyone could see that Princess Althea didn't have any special affection for Prince Felton.

This recognition made many nobles of the Charlemagne Empire happy. Originally, they thought that Prince Felton was not worthy of a princess at all. How did a mainland proverb say it?We have nothing in common except a face.

"Bishop Hill, long time no see." A voice came from beside him.

Yannick turned his head and smiled, "Long time no see, Your Highness."

The person who came here was not the Prince George who had a sister-in-law complex and once made a big disturbance in Chris' mansion.

Prince George handed him a drink, "This is a non-alcoholic rose wine, it should be to your taste."

Yannick thanked him and took it.

"You don't think he's good enough for her, do you?" Prince George pouted, signaling a couple dancing in the arena.

In the mainland language, his pronunciation is different from hers, so Yannick knew what Prince George meant when he heard it. In fact, Prince George is not the only one who thinks so, even people in the Garter Empire think that Chris's proposal The journey is doomed.

Of course, they never knew that the illegitimate child they looked down upon would turn out to be a great magister.

"Ah, yes." Yannick replied perfunctorily.

He never figured out how, with Chris' personality, he would take the initiative to invite a woman he wasn't interested in.

Yannick had an ominous premonition.

Three seconds later, his premonition came true.

The two danced and jumped, getting closer and closer to Yannick and Prince George.

Then, Princess Althea let out a small exclamation.

"Sorry, I'm not skilled in dancing." Prince Felton apologized blankly.

"It's okay." Princess Orthea said empathetically.

After a while.

"Oh!" Princess Orthea's face twisted slightly.

"Sorry." Chris said.

"No, it's okay..." Princess Orthea forced a smile.

Yannick sincerely hoped that his premonition was not so good, but soon, Princess Orthea's painful cry shattered his fantasy again.

Chris: "Ah, sorry, my foot slipped again."

Prince George: "..."

Yannick: "..."

Everyone was whispering and laughing at Prince Felton's clumsy dance steps and disrespectful behavior. The Garter Empire who accompanied Chris to the banquet was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground.

But only Yannick knew that that guy didn't feel ashamed at all, he must have done it on purpose!

As for motivation...

"It's too much, I'm going to teach him a lesson!" Prince George rolled up his sleeves angrily and was about to rush over.

Yannick quickly stopped him and gently reminded: "Have you forgotten what happened in Prince Felton's mansion?"

At that time, His Royal Highness the prince who rushed into Chris's room was thrown out in embarrassment.

Prince George was stunned for a moment, his face turned blue and red, but in the end he did not repeat the stupid mistakes. Although in public, Chris may not use such rude methods, but just to be on the safe side, Prince George really does not want to lose face again .

If Prince George thought about it carefully, he might not be able to find the traces of Chris using magic on him at that time. Unfortunately, he looked down on Chris from the beginning, and it was just attributed to the opponent's strength.

"What a rude and disrespectful guy!" He glared at Chris, gnashing his teeth. "How can Orthea marry such a person, I will definitely not let them marry!"

I guess your proposal will be welcomed by both parties involved, Yannick thought to himself, and said to Prince George: "If you think so, you might as well convince your father, I think he is better than the prince in this matter." Or Her Royal Highness has more say."

Prince George was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You're right!" and ran away.

Alfonso VIII had many public or private lovers, and many children were born to him. In addition to Princess Orseja and Prince George, the two orthodox heirs from the queen, there are many others who have received Children recognized or not recognized, it is no secret, but it is strange to say that, of all the children, none has inherited the ability or courage of Alfonso VIII.

Like Prince George, it doesn't mean that he is incompetent, but his mind is so simple that people can see through it at a glance. If he continues like this, his father, Alfonso VIII, will definitely not choose him as the heir to the throne.

However, Alfonso VIII is younger than the Pope, and the latter is also living well. Maybe the former can regain his glory and give birth to a few more children. He can always pick a suitable one among them. I really don’t have any Need to worry about other people's affairs.

After her jade toe was stepped on four times in a row, Her Royal Highness Princess Orthea finally couldn't bear it anymore, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she hurriedly escaped from Prince Felton's side after a dance, and went back to rest accompanied by her maid. It only made the nobles who couldn't dance with her sigh, and made everyone look more angry at the prince who dared to hurt the princess, and they didn't look good.

His Majesty the Emperor showed a good demeanor. He didn't blame the prince for his unintentional mistake (?). Instead, the nobles and mages were left behind during the banquet, and he took the initiative to chat with Yannick for a while, and comforted Ke himself. Reese, I hope he will not affect his mood because of the princess's halfway interest.

What made the envoy of the Garter Empire very grateful was that Chris did not have any problems again. He expressed his gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor for his tolerance, and in the following time, Prince Felton even had a faint smile on his unsmiling face. .

Maybe this means that there is still room for redemption in the marriage between the two countries?

The banquet is basically over.

For Alfonso VIII, his goal of suppressing the mage's arrogance by elevating the Bishop of the Garter Empire has been fulfilled and fulfilled; his goal of disrupting the peaceful situation by throwing out news of the marriage has also been fulfilled. Consummation.

For the envoys of the Garter Empire, although their goal of impressing Prince Felton on the emperor and the princess had not been achieved, fortunately there were no major disturbances, so it could be regarded as a complete success.

For Yannick, such a high-level welcoming gesture by an emperor who is not very friendly to the Holy See, no matter what his original intention is, will herald that they are about to embark on a friendly and smooth journey in the Garter Empire. It's the mage's empire, and Yannick doesn't want to ask for trouble.

But for the Magic Guild, the emperor's attitude towards Yannick made them very dissatisfied, very dissatisfied!

For a long time, the Charlemagne Empire has cooperated well with the Magic Guild. Although Alfonso VIII did not publicly declare that elemental magic is the only legal magic in the world, he also gave them the greatest convenience possible. It's like a free paradise.

But now, Alfonso VIII suddenly changed his attitude a little bit. Although he didn't snub the mage, he obviously didn't show the kind of close cooperation that he had in the past.

The members of the Magic Guild were angry and began to think about counterattack strategies.

So two days later, in Yannick's room in the post house, a beautifully crafted invitation letter appeared.

"An invitation to attend the Magic Seminar?" The silver-haired bishop raised his eyebrows as he read the content above.
