As the announcement spread, there was a commotion of whispering in the hall.

Among the guests present, no one knew the meaning of His Royal Highness the Second Prince's Heir; the No.1 candidate who was most likely to inherit the throne.But what made the guests even more talkative was the fact that the Potts family actually had contact with His Royal Highness the Second Prince at this juncture.

Because there are very few people in the empire who don't know the saying of "that" that has been passed down for many years.That is to say, the Potts family, which has risen by virtue of the auction house, has made a promise to the imperial royal family in order to avoid the empire's intervention after its business development becomes too large. The Bozi family absolutely supports and will not have two hearts; therefore, the Bozi family won the title of "Prince Party of Ten Thousand Years".

Therefore, under this general perception, if some candidates for the succession to the throne in the past were too close to or win over the Potts family, it would inevitably be interpreted as being ambitious for the throne.

Similarly, this has also created a high demand for the Potts family to recognize the "neutral" position.

After all, even if Potts promises to be the backer of the crown prince, it doesn't mean that the candidate for the crown prince will get Potts' opinion in turn.

This kind of sensitive connection, Potts is absolutely insensitive.

Therefore, if His Highness the Second Prince Heir is invited to attend at this juncture, what does it mean?Was it the initiative of His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Heir?Or is the Potts family finally trying to break their silence and meddle in politics in this generation?With so much room for association, it is no wonder that the guests couldn't help but have surprised and speculative expressions on their faces.

As for the owner Pozi, the faces of the people who have been waiting for him have changed early.Ko Nuo has been low-key and low-key this year. When deciding on the invitation list, the balance of various factions has been carefully considered; the list handed over by the younger generation has also been checked, and the request is not to let Hesti in the undecided heir. When it is decided), there is any suspicion about the Potts family.

Naturally, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who is directly at the center of the storm of the battle for the throne, is of course untouchable and must be avoided far away. Koono can confirm that the invitation letter for this evening must not have been sent to this big man. Why did he Uninvited?

Ko Nuo, who was seriously thinking about the current situation in his heart, still put on a look of surprise and welcome on the surface. He immediately stood up from the main seat, took the handcuff handed by his cronies, and solemnly greeted the most honored guest under the eaves here.

Pound and Funk naturally also felt the commotion.

Not to mention the discussions around him, when Lance heard the notification, he apologized and hurried back to Ko Nuo before he could finish the chat a second ago.As a result, Pound looked around a few more times, and found that the hosts who were originally scattered around the venue to entertain guests, seemed to have received some kind of warning at the moment, and they all gathered around Ko Nuo in unison, as if they were facing a big enemy.

Even Funk asked in a low voice, "What kind of Highness is this looking for trouble?"

"Perhaps, someone who shouldn't have come, everyone will be nervous." Pound shrugged, pulling Funk aside by the way.They had just left near the main seat, and they were right in the middle between the main seat and the door.If the distinguished guest came in through the door, the two would become a sandwich between the distinguished guest and Ko Nuo, and Pang De did not want to attract any attention from the distinguished guest.

After all, Pound, or "Lord" should be said; that is, the original owner of Pound's body, he knew from the bottom of his heart what kind of relationship this Second Prince Heir Highness had with him.

The eldest son of the second prince, Gonzal Hess, can be regarded as Lord Hess' half-brother, and he is also half-brother with Lord's second brother Berlin Hess.In other words, the three sons of the second prince all had different mothers, but only Gangsa, the eldest son of the direct line, caught the eyes of the second prince.The reason appears to lie with Gonzal's mother.

It is said that more than [-] years ago, when the previous emperor was choosing the heir to the imperial throne, among the several sons, he originally preferred the smart second son; that is, the current second prince.It has been a tradition since the founding of the Hess Empire to select talents instead of elders, because the first emperor himself was not the eldest son.

However, this second prince is an heir who only loves beauties and does not love the country. At that time, the second prince was in love with the only daughter of the emperor's top general, Ferson Walder. At that time, Emperor Hess wanted to be courteous, and naturally he did not want the only daughter of the Walder family to become the imperial concubine, because he was afraid that the Walder family would get involved in politics in addition to having many contacts in the army.

So it is said that the former emperor gave the second prince a multiple-choice question, choosing a woman; or choosing the throne.In the end, the second prince married the girl from the Walder family.A few weeks later, the emperor really announced that the next successor to the throne would be the eldest son.This option brought both comfort and disappointment to the public (especially women), and at the same time made the second prince's reputation among ordinary people much higher.

But on the other hand, it would be a lie to say that the above did not allow the eldest son; that is, the current Hesti, to have any conflicts.Because of this, many people speculate that this may be the last time when the second prince was said to be "framed" and had to marry his second princess after many years, and Emperor Hess would take the initiative to put pressure on him. main reason.Thinking about it, Hesty has always been quite unhappy that his younger brother has a higher evaluation and reputation than himself.

And now, what is even more ironic is that the feng shui has taken turns, and the two sons of Emperor Heshi have passed away due to accidents and illnesses one after another, leaving only the emperor's daughter.The embarrassment of having no children under her knees had to return to the line of the second prince when the succession to the throne was selected.Although Hesti has other options, such as the heirs of his third or fourth brother, their ability and age are far behind that of Gonza. If other candidates are appointed, Hesti will definitely be in the empire. The reputation of being jealous and vengeful has been left in history for a long time.no doubt.

Hesti's struggles will not be mentioned here. Pound knew the above "unofficial history" through Lord's memory.

But for Pound, these so-called "blood relatives" are only the difference between hostility and non-hostility.

Even Lord's mother; this woman who let Lord find his father alone and stopped contacting her, Pound believed that she was one of the many reasons why Lord was murdered and died.If she doesn't come to look for her, Pang De will never take the initiative to look for her; if she comes to look for her, it has to be seen whether it is with good intentions or malice.

So Pound is more concerned about what role this "big brother" who is half-blood related played in the incident where Lord was framed.What the caretaker Barlow revealed earlier was mostly the idea of ​​the second brother Berlin Gonza, but it is not impossible for others to accept it with a blind eye, or even be happy to see it come true.

But even though maliciousness might exist, Pound is still so leisurely at the moment, mainly because he thinks that it is impossible for Gonza to recognize him.After all, his younger brother who has been successfully framed and no longer poses a threat; he is also an illegitimate son who is not directly related, and Gonzal has no motive to look for it.Unless, where is he blocking Gonza's way? Pound thought about it and pulled Funk back a little further. He had to ensure his own safety to watch the excitement.

At this time, there was a loud sound of military boots at the door, knocking on the slate of the banquet hall, which was so glamorous.Cracking, crackling, like a small army of troops coming.At this moment, Ko Nuo also led his cronies and important family members to greet him at the door in large numbers.

Then a small team of tall men among the southerners entered the hall. They wore uniform dark blue uniforms. The difference from the surrounding guards was that there were many badges and totems on the uniforms, which seemed to be a meaningful class identification. .

The head of the person was straight, with a black cloak over his shoulders, he was obviously the leader of the group.

Regardless of his height, which is only slightly shorter than Funk's, and his serious and aggressive facial features, Pound can easily tell that this person is in the field of magic and martial arts, from the dense fire element faintly gathered around him. It is more effort than others.

As mentioned earlier, in the use of elemental magic, the magician must transform the elements into the body to drive power, so in theory, when the magic weapon is not moving, the concentration of elements in the body will be higher than that of the magician.After Pound developed the habit of observing his surroundings with "meditation connection" all the time, except for funk, he has never encountered such an obvious release of elements.

From this point of view, if the leader is Gonza, he must at least have a level nine or higher in magic and martial arts.This conclusion surprised Pound a little. With his prominent status as the eldest son of the second prince, he should be able to walk sideways everywhere. Now that he can achieve such achievements in magic and martial arts, it can be deduced that Gonza's own character must have something. A certain persistent or unscrupulous side.

Seeing the leader come to Ko Nuo, the moment he stopped, he touched his heels neatly, clenched his right fist and pressed it flat on his chest, and gave a military salute. "Gonza Hess, I wish Sir Potts a long life and good health. Please forgive me for not coming here."

Following Gonza's actions, about five or six young people in military uniforms behind him also gave the same congratulations.The loud sound of military boots in unison shows that it is a well-disciplined team.Among the children of an aristocratic family, this kind of tough image is indeed different.

As for Ko Nuo, the smile on his face was somewhat sincere.After Gonza's congratulatory message, he clearly said "come uninvited", first of all, the possibility of Pozzi's active wooing was cleared away from everyone.Even though it was possible to go to the Three Treasures Hall without incident, Ko Nuo felt much more relieved. He led the crowd to return a solemn salute to his ministers, and said respectfully, "It's an honor for Bozi to come from afar, Your Highness. I'm here to invite you."

Gonza nodded succinctly, without any nonsense, followed Ko Nuo to lead the way to the main seat with a signal from his right hand.The servants had filled up that area with another seat equivalent to the main seat, and deliberately ensured some space, so that this distinguished guest who came suddenly could have a further conversation with Ko Nuo without being disturbed.

But even so, the voice of discussion in the hall still did not disappear.Everyone's surprise has now turned into an atmosphere of floating and excitement.The guests seemed to wake up from the initial suspicion and surprise, and then they were thinking about whether they could have a chance to note and socialize with the second prince and heir Highness this evening.

Pound, who stood a little further away, only observed secretly through the gaps between the crowd, thinking about whether it was necessary to leave early with Funk, but at the moment when Gonzal was scanning the surroundings while he was marching, he had nothing to do with Gunza. Sarah met her gaze.

Pound looked back calmly, but Gonza's gaze froze for a few seconds before turning away again.

The surroundings hardly noticed such a small abnormality, but Pang De felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart.

After thinking about the rights that Gonza might have in the empire, and the pros and cons of leaving at this moment, Pound said decisively to Funk, "Let's leave."

"Huh? Now?" Funk was a little surprised.

"Yes, now," Pound said, moving towards the door without delay.Even though Funk was confused, he followed without questioning.

However, after a few steps out of the entrance of the banquet hall, Pound saw a dozen guards who hadn't appeared just now; each of them was wearing the same series of military uniforms as Gonza.

A certain premonition in Pound's heart became stronger and stronger. Sure enough, a young guard stopped them and said politely but forcefully,

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, please don't leave before the end of today's banquet."
