The scale of the dinner was not particularly large, but the people present were all carefully selected people, the important ministers and nobles in the royal city, and almost all of them brought their families.Of course, on the surface, there is a school of singing and dancing, but it is hard to say how the undercurrents are turbulent underneath.

After Yu Yuan was led to the lobby, he had to put on a smirk to start the business, and suggested to Lin Ling that the female character's attire was really uncomfortable, and the reply he got was "Thank you for your contribution to the game experience, I This information will be reported to the technical team."

On the other hand, this banquet was not so much about welcoming Durand back to the royal city as it was about Fernando being the more eye-catching focus.The new king has been on the throne for less than a month. Although several banquets have been held after the coronation ceremony, with different scales, the guests with different thoughts naturally hold their own views on the "new king" and are still inquiring and observing. .On the surface, he laughed at Yan Yan, but in private, he didn't know if he had ever scolded such words as "false king".

Fernando himself turned a blind eye to other gazes, and his superficial smile was well done.Yu Yuan remembered the rumors about his "violence", and asked Lin Ling casually: "Where is he 'violent', I feel okay? This is not a spoiler, right?"

Well, at least he hasn't done anything to the queen so far.

"Just pretend, don't believe it." Lin Ling gave an affirmative answer, "You also know that he is from the Legion, and there are many negative rumors. Anyway, you must be careful when dealing with him."

Yu Yuan thought it was too late for you to speak, he felt that he had stepped on the red line once.

As the queen, Yu Yuan was naturally surrounded by various female relatives.But if he can speculate with these noble ladies, he will be a ghost. Every time a noble lady shakes her fan and chats with him about the affairs of the royal city, he can only stare and pretend to be stupid, and reply "You are right" Smile.

At this moment, a herald came in and announced, "His Royal Highness has arrived."

The venue suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to the door.

Not long after, I saw a guard walking from outside the banquet hall, without swords around their waists, and the leader walking in the front was none other than Crown Prince Durand Direll.

There was a momentary commotion in the crowd, but it calmed down in a blink of an eye.

Holding a champagne glass, Yu Yuan looked from afar. According to the data, Durand, who had just grown up, already had the demeanor of a grown man. The color of his blond hair was so pale that it was almost like platinum, which was very different from Fernando.As for the appearance, although the body is tall and tall like that of an adult man, the facial features are a little softer. At a glance, the brows and eyebrows seem to be drawn with fine brushwork, as gentle as a handful of water in the hand, reflecting the moon.

Durand was the only one with a sword. As he strode forward, the cloak on his body fluttered in a chic arc. The group of people looked a little travel-stained. It was obvious that they rushed here without taking a rest when they arrived in the royal city.

The room was so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground. Yu Yuan watched the other party come over helplessly, thinking that Durand should go to salute the king first, but why...

Why does this brother seem to be walking in his direction? !

Everyone was watching. In the huge banquet hall, under the eyes of everyone, the returned crown prince ignored the king and walked directly in front of the queen.

The crowd chattering like sparrows became noisy again, and many nobles and ministers quietly looked at the king's face, but the king didn't even frown when he saw this move, as if he didn't care about the crown prince's rude behavior.

After this farce, it is not known how many versions of rumors will be circulated.

The young crown prince also didn't care about the discussions around and some people's malicious prying eyes. He just walked through the crowd, looked at the queen, took off his cloak, and let the servants take it away.It was like a knight who had just returned to his hometown after a long journey, and now he finally returned to the person he wanted to see.

The orchestra played non-stop, and the music in the hall flowed like a spring.Finally, Durand finally stood in front of the queen and saluted.

"Your Highness the Queen."

The people around were all concerned, waiting for the crown prince's next move.On the other side, a minister finally responded, and was about to reprimand the crown prince for being impolite, when His Royal Highness waved his hand lightly, "Prince Durand is still young, so he must be eager because he hasn't seen His Royal Highness the Queen for a long time, so don't worry about it."

He said this as if the crown prince was a child who had to be taken care of by the queen, and the new king himself was only seven or eight years older than the crown prince.For a while, the minister was a little speechless, but no one came out to refute.

"Durand, you're back." Yu Yuan put down the wine glass, but Durand took his hand and gently took off the thin satin glove.

Yu Yuan: "?"

Durand leaned down and kissed the back of his hand, the soft touch was fleeting.Then, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, he called again, "Edith."

There was a smile in the sea-blue eyes, and the platinum-blond hair seemed unusually soft.According to Yu Yuan's first impression, the crown prince and the king seem to be two extremes.

If it was just a hand kiss, this scene would be perfectly normal, but Yu Yuan clearly felt another detail—Durant held his hand and gently hooked it with his fingers during the hand kiss. hooked his fingertips, and at the same time looked directly into the queen's eyes.

The inevitable Yu Yuan: "..." Gan, that's weird.

He withdrew his hand silently with some awkwardness, and asked Lin Ling in his mind, "Is the relationship between us really so good, or am I overthinking it?"

"After all, he is a child. He has only grown up for a few months, and his mother passed away when he was very young, and he just lost his father not long ago." Lin Ling kindly gave some information within the scope of not spoiling, "You are the queen , How normal is it for him to get 'maternal love' from you, be good, don't think too much, it's true that he likes you very much, the game information will not lie."

"..." Give him a ghostly mother's love, and father's love is almost the same.

Having said that, the information also showed that "the crown prince is very dependent on him", but Yu Yuan still did not expect their relationship to be so good.At this moment, the eyes of the audience were focused on the two of them, but Yu Yuan glanced not far away, and he could see Fernando staring at him all the time, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, passing through the crowd.

It's like "watching" him.

But Yu Yuan didn't care, he put all his attention on Durand, his final customs clearance task was to assist the real future king, naturally referring to Durand in front of him.

Based on the first impression, Yu, the strength party, obviously feels that Durand lacks Fernando's strong aura, which may be a weakness for being a monarch... But as a game player who is bound to win, Yu Yuan has confidence Can bring each other up.If it wasn't for everyone watching, he would even really want to shake hands with this little prince, after all, he can be regarded as half of his future partner.

After Durand finished this special "hand kiss", he put the satin gloves back into the queen's palm, and then turned to look at the new king Fernando who was coming slowly. He also smiled and did what he should.

"Uncle Fernando... No, I made a mistake." He looked apologetic as if he had just realized his slip of the tongue, and saluted again, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty the King."

This courtesy is very deep and very in place.

Naturally, Fernando couldn't care about this kind of thing, and he said something. The surrounding nobles, luxuriously dressed dukes and city lords all laughed and echoed, but Yu Yuan didn't pay attention to it. There is no other reason——Durand said back A small note was caught under the glove in the palm of his hand.

He silently put the note in his palm and squeezed it tightly.

There was no unhappiness at the banquet, and the relationship between the "new king" and the "old crown prince" seemed to be extremely harmonious. This scene was almost in everyone's expectation, after all, it is impossible to cause any unhappiness in person.

What's more, some nobles used this banquet to bring girls of the right age from their own families in an attempt to gain a little chance in front of the new king or crown prince.Although Durand's status is embarrassing now, at least Fernando will not do anything on the surface.Although Fernando still had negative rumors that "something is wrong", Yu Yuan even heard a noble lady secretly ask if the king had any preferences when choosing a partner during the communication with him.

Their purpose is self-evident, they all want their daughters, nieces, cousins ​​in the family and other roles to match their preferences and attract the king's attention.

As a game player, Yu Yuan can see some information about Fernando, such as Fernando's living habits and other preferences.

[Fernando Direll]

......

[Dislikes: ...floral scents, fluffy animals...]

Yu Yuan smiled and told these ladies, "His Majesty the King likes floral perfumes very much. He once praised the smell of the maids. In fact, he also likes small animals in private. Maybe some lady's cat will be loved by His Majesty." ? You might as well try bringing it to the palace, maybe you will get His Majesty's favor."

If there is an opportunity to add some trouble to Fernando, why not do it.

The ladies were a little skeptical at first, and it was difficult to connect the appearance of the new king with what the queen described, but under Yu Yuan's insistence and coaxing, several ladies expressed their gratitude and made an appointment for the next time He will bring his daughter and so on to the palace.

After dealing with the characters that need to be dealt with, Yu Yuan quietly walked to the corner with the wine glass while no one was paying attention, and unfolded the note.

The note has been slightly softened by the water droplets on the wine glass, but the writing on it is still clear.

See you in your room at ten o'clock in the evening.

Durand asked him to meet tonight, and the banquet would not end until eleven o'clock, which meant that they all needed to leave early.

Although Yu Yuan didn't quite understand why the dignified queen and the prince couldn't meet in the open and bright daytime, he also guessed that maybe it was Fernando's order or some surveillance arrangement.Now that Durand is surrounded by nobles, he has no chance to refuse.

Just as Yu Yuan was destroying the small note, a voice sounded from behind.

"Your Highness the Queen."

Yu Yuan was so startled that he almost threw the note away. He quickly covered it with his glove, and turned his head. The name on the top of the man's head in front of him was [Wheeler Howard].

Howard, the leader of the Knights, Nancy told him that this person brought him back from heatstroke, and bumped into Fernando at the gate of the palace.

"Good night, Your Excellency Howard." Yu Yuan nodded slightly in return.

Howard looked very young in appearance, with wheaten skin, reddish-brown hair trimmed very neatly, and a smile that showed white teeth, with a little bit of canine.If the appearance of the NPC is divided in the game, it is estimated to be the type of "healthy little wolf dog".

Yu Yuan's information about him is not clear yet, but he has already been flashed by this little sun's smile, and his first impression is considered a little bit.

"How is Your Majesty the Queen?" Howard smiled again, making people feel as if he could see the bottom of his eyes with sincerity, "The incident happened suddenly yesterday, and I sent you back to the palace temporarily. There may be some impoliteness. I did not apologize to Your Majesty the Queen."

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Yu Yuan didn't intend to chat with this brother, he just wanted to perfunctory for a while and leave quickly, but although he didn't take the initiative to talk much, Howard kept talking to him about various things with great interest.

After a while, Howard recalled the news he heard during the day, and asked again: "By the way, I heard that Your Highness the Queen went to the cemetery last night?"

In the middle of the night, the new king asked a guard of the palace to find someone, and finally found that the queen appeared in the cemetery, in front of the tomb of the King of Wales. The chancellor of the exchequer, who was trying to confuse the King of Wales, sighed silently when he heard the news, and maybe he had a better opinion of the queen.

Yu Yuan knew that he probably couldn't hide it, and there was nothing to hide, so he nodded and admitted, "Yes, last night I, um...suddenly missed Wells."

He once suspected that his queen's reputation should be mediocre. After all, she is a stepmother, so the affectionate character must be stable. He thinks this should be one of the key points to pass the level. As for how many people believe it, it is another matter. Anyway, he will return to him. play.It is not impossible to cry at Wells' grave if necessary.

At this time, seeing Howard seemed a little touched, Yu Yuan was ready to reminisce about the King of Wales with him for a while, and he had already read the biography of his "dead husband" during the day, and he was confident that he would not make mistakes in this regard.

Who would have thought that the young knight leader in front of him frowned, but what he said was "You are weak, and there is a night wind at night, so you shouldn't go there."

"..." Yu Yuan, who was forcibly labeled as "frail", did not expect such sudden concern, so he could only express his gratitude. When he turned his head and saw that the pointer was about to point to ten o'clock, he immediately looked for him. He made an excuse to drink too much and was about to leave.

"Your Excellency Howard, it was a pleasure chatting with you today, maybe we will have a chance to meet and chat in the future." Yu Yuan smiled slightly, and ran away with his skirt in his hands.

He is now very adept at walking on heels.

Seeing the queen leave in a hurry, Howard, who was left in place, seemed to be a little bit disappointed and lowered his head. His tall back fell on others like a dog with drooping ears, which also attracted some female guests who noticed the movement here discussion.

In fact, the family emblem of the Howard family is in the shape of a hound, and the position he himself took over from the family, as well as the King City Knights behind him, are also called "Sutton's Hound".

At this time, the brown-haired "hound" was about to leave, and he glanced out of the corner of his eye, but noticed a thin black satin glove on the high table.He had just seen that the other of these gloves had been held tightly by the Queen.

—This is the queen's property.

It's even... used next to it.

The white tablecloth, the pure black gloves, such an ordinary picture, suddenly seemed to have a different meaning in his eyes.

Without even caring if anyone noticed, Howard picked up the glove, trimmed with lace and dangling with a pearl.

He stuffed the glove into the pocket of his tuxedo, and almost exhausted all his self-control, so he didn't pick up such a thing and sniff it now.

There seems to be a lingering smell in the air.

Returning the gloves to the queen, Howard quickly realized that this was an opportunity to meet the other party again tonight, and was about to leave to catch up.Just at this time, an acquainted aristocratic friend came over to say hello with a wine glass, so Howard had to stay temporarily and look for another opportunity later.

The friend talked with him about various recent events in the royal city, but Howard listened absent-mindedly, chatting with each other.The satin gloves were still stuffed in his chest pocket, as if they were emitting heat, and there seemed to be a scent left by someone who had just stayed here in the air, and he couldn't help but pay attention to all the details.

Maybe...it's okay not to return it.

He picked up his wine glass and took a sip, still thinking about the pros and cons of the two options, his eyes dimmed.

He wanted to keep this for himself.
