There is no way, that appearance is too in line with his aesthetics, the second prince immediately gave the staff a look.

The staff understood, coughed, and asked, "Who is that in the garden over there...?"

The head of the palace kept smiling: "It's the seventh princess of our August Empire."

Second Prince: "...?"

ah?Is that the elf mage?Why didn't the seventh princess spend time with her family in the imperial capital, and why did she travel all the way to the Principality of Stuart?

After all, there is a lag in intelligence collection. In the information about Langdon collected by the second prince, this is really not mentioned.

The director of palace affairs is also very proud that his lord has such a high-quality suitor. In his opinion, this is the moment to show his lord's charm, so he flaunted it tactfully: "Everyone in the imperial capital knows that the princess treated us the Duke at the birthday banquet. It was love at first sight, and after chasing it all the way to the Principality, His Majesty the Emperor acquiesced."

The second prince judged others by himself, and instantly imagined a series of scenes in which the young Stuart was worried that he would not be able to suppress the people below and the emperor's shackles, so he simply seduced the princess and wanted to unite with the royal family.

Alas, what a pity, she dared to go after the Principality before she got engaged, this princess is probably already in the pocket of Grand Duke Stuart...

But it doesn't matter, his goal is not the princess. Although the elf mage is powerful, he is not as good as the saint to improve his prestige.

The head of the palace was still using the subject of the princess to boast about Langdon and, by the way, the Duchy of Stuart.

The second prince said along the way.

"Indeed, the mere fact that the saintesses of this generation are from the Principality of Stuart is enough to prove the superiority of this place."

The head of the palace couldn't help but smile a little bigger when he heard this: "Yes, and Her Royal Highness is in the castle now, and has a very good relationship with our Duke."

The second prince couldn't help but laugh.

Wait...in the castle now?Are you still on good terms?

Why is this a little different from what he thought?

[ps: add more!Good night everyone~]

45. Shalltear's Crisis (3k)

The mission group was arranged to enter the guest room.

After taking a short rest and cleaning up the dusty appearance, the second prince called his staff again.

If you are bored on the trip, asking Joshua, the clown, to chat with you can pass the time. There is no need for the clown to accompany you on such a serious matter.

As soon as the staff sat down, they immediately got to the point: "Since the head of the palace dared to say that Her Royal Highness has a very good relationship with the Grand Duke Stuart, then the Holy Maiden will definitely attend the Grand Duke's birthday party."

The second prince nodded, and sighed again: "But is the relationship very good... This is not the same as the information."

"That's true..." the staff pondered, "According to common sense, the saint should belong to the type that draws a line from the past."

Although there are few saintesses, they have been born for several generations after all. Most of them are from the commoner class, and their behavior patterns and thinking patterns have been thoroughly studied.

It can be roughly divided into two types. One is that even if you have become a saint, you still have a commoner mentality.

The other is bottoming out, swelling up like a nouveau riche, treating oneself as a nobleman, and trying to blend in... and will have resistance to the noble families where he once worked, and feel that it is his own stain.

It’s very easy to understand. A person has become an emperor from a beggar all the way, and he doesn’t want to listen to people telling the truth, “You used to be a beggar, and I rewarded you.” Even if it is the truth, you will want to kill it The other party, and the former home of the saint, is similar to the existence of this kind of truth.

According to the information collected by the Heka Empire, this generation of saintesses should be the second type. As for Grand Duke Stuart, who was once her master, she must wish for him to disappear, so she is full of malice towards the Grand Duke in private. The behavior of the gift is probably also deliberately embarrassing the Grand Duke.

The former maid has become a saint, and he has to please others. This must be very shameful to the Grand Duke, right?

Before they came, they all thought that the relationship between Grand Duke Stuart and the saint must be very bad, just because of the existence of the nanny to maintain a superficial harmony.

The second prince thought for a while, and said thoughtfully: "The words of the director of palace affairs may not be the truth."

"That's right, Your Highness, we don't need to take the words of the palace chief seriously."

The staff agreed very much, and analyzed with due diligence: "Since he is the head of the palace of the Principality of Stuart, he must say that everything is based on the interests of the Principality. It’s a good relationship because of the interests! Maybe our previous analysis is not wrong, he is relying on the favor of the nanny, asking the saint to support the scene, even a little friendship can be blown out by the head of the palace!"

The second prince nodded lightly: "I think so too, but I feel a little uneasy..."

Even Emperor August's most important daughter, who was an elf mage, was seduced by Grand Duke Stuart. Is this young Grand Duke really as harmless as the information shows?

Maybe it's a person with unexpected means.

Before he meets the real person, it's not easy for him to use the information to make a preset...

When the second prince and his staff were crazy about conspiracy theories, Langdon was almost making himself unrecognizable, but the person involved Langdon was working as usual.

The letter he was writing was the report he planned to send to the emperor—although the banquet hadn't started yet, a lot of content could be written now based on the report from the palace director, and it could be sent out after supplementing it later.

When the head of palace affairs reported, he specifically emphasized: "The second prince of the Heka Empire seems to be a little moved when he sees Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The palace director's original intention was to arouse Langdon's sense of competition.

As for men, seeing a girl chasing after him, he must be secretly happy, but he won't express it on the surface. It's normal for them to put on airs with an identity like their duke.

Ordinary noble ladies are fine, but she is a princess, or an elf mage, so she is very popular, okay?

Realizing that someone was robbing her, maybe their little duke would be able to act because of the sense of competition. Otherwise, he would keep putting on airs, and the princess would be married off by another man later. How regretful the duke would be! ! !

However, Langdon's reaction was completely different from that of the court director.

Langdon's eyes lit up when he heard what the palace chief said, and when the palace chief finished his report, he drove them away, and then described it emphatically in his letter to the emperor.

"...The second prince of the Heka Empire seems to be interested in your precious seventh princess. The princess was waiting for the mission to pass by in the garden. When the second prince saw the princess, he immediately asked the guide..."

Then there are some clichés, according to the content of the palace director’s report, praise the second prince for being young and promising, so that the emperor can consider marrying the princess sooner. Of course, Langdon knew that the elf mage would definitely not marry the second prince. This writing is just to make the emperor feel a little bit of a sense of crisis, so don't make it easier for foreigners.

Alas, he is a majestic duke, almost becoming a matchmaker, thinking all day about how to send all the little fairies away.

He used to be able to trick the Son of Prophecy, but now he finds out that the Son of Prophecy is his eldest nephew, and he has been working for him all the time, so he is embarrassed to do it again.

Therefore, the second prince of the Heka Empire finally came. Even if he was not a foreign ambassador, Langdon decided to be friendly to him just because the second prince had taken a fancy to Bellatrix.

It's so pitiful for this unlucky child, another one who was deceived by Bellatrix's appearance... If you can help me get rid of this little fairy, you will be the most respected person in this life.

Langdon was still writing letters when the butler came to find him. He wanted to get rid of Bellatrix from the bottom of his heart, and whenever he found an opportunity, he would frantically persuade the emperor.

"...Duke, it's time to prepare for the banquet. You really have to change your clothes."

The butler called helplessly.

How can there be such a diligent duke, the banquet is about to start, and he is still working in the study...

He was very worried when he chatted with the head of the palace in private.

The Duke is almost an adult, why is he still not enlightened!Work and women for fun? !

"It's coming, it's coming, wait for me to finish writing this sentence... It's done."

Langdon looked at his results with satisfaction. Anyone who read this letter would think that the second prince is a good man. The princess will definitely like the second prince. Maybe he will not marry the king, and he, the duke, is true to the princess. I don't have that kind of thought at all... Presumably the emperor will be restless after receiving the letter, and start his plan to find a match for the princess in his own country again.

Langdon was eagerly sent into the arms of the maids by the butler. The maids quickly changed Langdon's clothes and styled his hair... Fortunately, the matching of clothes, brooch cufflinks and so on were all decided long ago. Alright, otherwise Langdon would be exhausted if he concentrated on this day.

When Shalltear opened the door and came in, Langdon was putting on his last piece of clothing.

Men's clothing usually has fewer patterns than women's clothing. Langdon tried to be comfortable, and usually only wears a white shirt and trousers when he doesn't see customers. Now, to be more formal, he added a straight waistcoat with dark patterns.

He opened his arms slightly, and asked the maid standing behind him to put on a long formal coat for him, and another maid in front of him was tidying the front for him, and a maid squatted down to fix the trousers and leather shoes, and put on the sleeves of the coat Immediately afterward, other maids stepped forward to straighten the cuffs and back collar, and carefully pulled out the pinched hair.

Surrounded by a group of girls, Langdon walked away with a bored look on his face.

...Shalltear has actually seen this scene once.

Before Langdon went to attend the princess's birthday party, it was rare for Langdon to dress up formally, but at that time Langdon's needs were low-key, so as long as there were no mistakes in etiquette in this regard, he didn't pay much attention at all.

This time Langdon just wanted to keep a low profile, and the palace director and housekeeper would not agree. After all, this is the home court of the Duchy of Stuart. Langdon is not representing himself, but the face of the Duchy of Stuart.

Because of this, the style this time follows the gorgeous style that is popular nowadays, making Langdon's already handsome face even more attractive.

So much so that Shalltear, who was used to seeing Langdon's face, suddenly gasped when she saw Langdon in full bloom, and her heart beat faster.

But as soon as Shalltear thought that Langdon had danced with the princess last time, and who she was dancing with this time, she definitely had no chance anyway, and she couldn't help feeling depressed.

Langdon spotted Shalltear.

His expression suddenly changed from bored to joy: "Charles, are you here? Is it time?"

Shalltear has realized that her anxiety during this period has affected too much, so she has been working hard to adjust her mentality recently. At this moment, she quickly put away her regrets about not being able to dance with Langdon, and calmly reported: "Not yet , but soon, everyone else has already started."

According to the tradition of the Heka Empire, the reception banquet should be held with the lord on top, envoys and other nobles (all men) sitting below, the table is placed in front of everyone, and then there is room in the middle for singers and dancers to sing and dance... Of course, when everyone is about to drink, these singers and dancers will start to accompany the guests. It is impossible to be the last at the banquet, but they can be brought back to the room.

Someone handed Shalltear this "feel at home" proposal, and she was shot down by Shalltear without saying a word, and Langdon had to say it was good after seeing it.

Let's not talk about hot eyes, but whether the person who proposed this proposal has any brains. He means that he can't offend the other party too much, but he can't please them so much!

A girl from my own country! ! !Make fun of foreigners! ! !It's not good to think about it! ! !

So in the end, it followed the tradition of the August Empire - just like Bellatris's banquet.

The form of the buffet banquet, there are both male and female nobles, whatever you want to eat and drink, you can take what you want on the table, and if there is no table, you can find an attendant. Everyone can walk around freely in the venue, talk to anyone, and Langdon can also mix in the crowd Or find a corner to stay quietly for a while, so as not to sit on the seat in front of everyone, and dare not move around when the buttocks are numb.

The process is also that important guests can appear last, and other people can chat in the banquet hall first. The scene is more lively, and any problems can be smoothed over.

...However, according to the tradition of the August Empire, there is also a drawback.

That is Langdon's age, and he must bring a female companion to the stage.

But in this situation, Langdon doesn't have much choice...

Shalltear said quietly: "Princess Bellatris is also ready, and then you need to enter the banquet hall with Her Highness the Princess."

Langdon held his forehead.

...I hope everything goes well, and don't make him regret not following Heka Empire's tradition of excluding female relatives...

After confirming that Langdon's preparations were almost complete, Shalltear went to Bellatrix to report again.

"Wait." Bellatrix stopped her.

As a "outsider", Shalltear could only report outside and didn't need to enter the room, but Bellatris didn't care about this, and directly opened the door and pulled her in.

Before Shalltear could say anything, Bellatrix asked in a worried tone.

"This time there is a man in the mission who looks a bit like you, and he even mentioned the name 'Shalltear'. Do you know what?"

[ps: Pushed up, try to add updates at night]

46. ​​The person recognized from the back (3k)

After Bellatrix finished saying this, Shalltear fell into a nearly blank state for a moment.

But after all, she personally organized the welcome dinner for the Heka Empire, so she was already mentally prepared. Although she was a little lost, she quickly regained her senses and managed to pull herself together, saying to Bellatris.

"Thank you...thank you for reminding me, I see."

He looks like her, and knows her real name...it must be Brother Huang.

Calm down, the matter hasn't reached the point of no return, although I don't know why Brother Huang will follow, but if she has been found, it is impossible that no one will look for her until now... She still has a chance!

Shalltear didn't ask Bellatrix how she knew, since Bellatrix saw through her disguise at a glance, she has a filter for elves' hearing and eyesight, as long as she puts it on Bellatrix , everything is normal.

In fact, Bellatrix's hearing is really not good enough to hear the movement of the guest room in the main tower.

She eavesdropped on purpose.

Just like what she said before, when passing by the garden, she took a casual glance and saw a man who looked similar to Shalltear, with the same hair color and eye color, which immediately aroused Bellatrix's interest .

Considering Langdon's assistant's behavior of concealing her gender, Bellatrix's instinct told her to have fun watching.

So Bellatris deliberately used the wind elf spell to blow the distant wind towards her, intending to listen to gossip at will.

When the second prince of the Heka Empire was chatting with his staff, he was very experienced and subconsciously used alchemy props with a shielding effect. Although Joshua was looked down upon, his status was there after all, and he arranged a separate room for him to hold back. Let go of the emotions along the way.

What Bellatris heard was a series of insults to a person named "Shalltear", complaining about the other party's escape from marriage and so on.

Whoa, exciting.

Based on her many years of experience in eating melons, Bellatris quickly brainstormed a series of plots, and decided to test the candidate she guessed whenever she had the chance.

It now appears that she was right.

It turned out to be an escape from marriage... It sounds like the second prince happened to be the object of marriage... Langdon must know nothing about it.

I don't know how Langdon will react after learning the truth...

Bellatrix was a little eager to move, but because she still wanted to see Shatia's reaction, she reluctantly endured it, and even had the energy to continue acting, and said kindly to Shatia: "I know, you must be feeling very troubled now. , very disturbed? Well, after the banquet is over, you come to me and we can talk."

Shalltear hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head lightly: "...don't bother the princess."
