Chapter 820 Gathering Again
If Edinburgh is a shining pearl of the Eagle Empire, then the Stoke mansion next to Edinburgh is a mouse dropping in the eyes of the Eagle Queen. In her eyes, she always has a grudge against the Duke of Stoke , the Duke of Stoke's family has been prominent for generations, and was the right-hand man of the Eagle Queen 16 years ago, but he didn't expect that Bamar, an elder of the Duke of Stoke's family who had always opposed his family, had been sent to The prodigal son who has experienced wandering in the past has an amazing charm mixed with the East and the West, and his two daughters do not know what evil has fallen into him, so they have a soft spot for him, which eventually leads to mutual suspicion and disharmony between the two sisters .

All of this is naturally due to that damn Bamar, who won the laurels in the swordsmanship competition and won the St. Georgia Medal. This move made his two princesses fall in love with him. , The whole palace was in chaos.

The Eagle Queen gently Mosuo held the edge of the deep red wooden chair in her hand, and the wooden chair with some age texture was shaking gently. Unexpectedly, 16 years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these 16 years, a swordsmanship competition has been held Four times, but no matter the standard or the viewability, it is not as good as the swordsmanship competition when the Duke of Stoke rose 16 years ago, so for so many years, the nine noble masters of the eagle empire royal swordsmanship determined by the competition that year The ranking has still not changed. Thinking about it now, it is undeniable that the Duke of Stoke's swordsmanship is indeed moving.

Because the Duke of Stoke won the Royal Georgian Order and won the fame in the fencing competition.So it was logical to regain the Duke title that originally belonged to him, and the Eagle Queen made such a mistake, conferred the Order of the Prodigal Son, who had fascinated her daughter, and made him one of her Dukes.

After that, a series of things happened. The two daughters wanted to live and die for the Duke of Stoke, but under the high pressure of her so-called iron-blooded mother, the two daughters finally cut off their relationship with the Duke of Stoke. Delusion, now that she is a mother, she is over fifty years old, and in the end the relationship between the two daughters is hostile to each other. In the Queen's heart, everything is caused by the Duke of Stoke.

In short, the Eagle Queen has a headache when she mentions the Duke of Stoke, and has never given Stoke a good face. The bad relationship between the Duke of Stoke and the two princesses has gradually faded over time, but the Eagle Queen The grudge against the Duke of Stoke has not diminished with time.

The Eagle Queen looked at the list of nobles who came to sign up this time. The Duke of Stoke's distinctive big characters were printed on it, which made the Eagle Queen feel a little bit more. A steaming black tea cup was placed on the table, the prominent blue and white porcelain with gold rim was plated with a misty color in the sun. With a sweet fragrance in her nostrils, she took a sip of the black tea, tapped her knuckles on the words "Duke of Stoke" on the list post, and frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

What troubled the Duke of Stoke was the Queen's grudge against herself. If it weren't for the Queen's grudge, when the Duke of Stoke and the Duke of Humington were competing for the right to operate the railway, how could the Queen give the right to the notorious The Duke of Humington, in the eyes of the Queen, the Duke of Stoke is indiscreet in life, the Duke of Humington is too extreme in doing things, and the Queen hates people who are indiscreet in life. If you don't do well, you can correct it slowly, and if you have a problem with your personal life style, it means that this person is completely useless. Therefore, when the Queen handed over the operation of the railway to the Duke of Humington, more than half of them were fighting against the Duke of Stoke.

The Duke of Stoke is not afraid of anything, but what he is most afraid of is seeing the queen. The reason why he did not participate in the three competitions again is also the same reason. He is not willing to meet the queen at all. In the past 16 years, except for one Except for meeting the Eagle Queen during the meetings and most public places where there are many people, basically I have never had close contact with the Eagle Queen.

To put it bluntly, the Duke of Stoke also knew that the Eagle Queen hadn't untied his knot, and he felt sorry for the absurd things he had done once again.

For 16 years, the Duke of Stoke has avoided the Eagle Queen like a plague god, but now, at the most critical moment for the Stoke family, he can no longer hide. The Duke of Stoke can only stand out in the swordsmanship competition. Only then can the honor be reinvigorated, otherwise no one will do business with them under such a low-profile situation. The Duke of Stoke and the Duke of Humington are enemies, and no one has the guts to cooperate with the Stoke family New rising companies, who knows if they will be the next Goddess Heart to be attacked.

After the Duke of Humington bribed the media to deliberately corrupt the bank, the bank did not dare to lend to the Duke of Stoke at all. No matter how soft and stubborn the Duke of Stoke was, they always held their money bags tightly. , no water flowed out at all.

Many people can't make a comeback, the reason is that their popularity has fallen, and they can't get up again. For a family like the Duke of Stoke, momentum is everything, so they have no choice but to participate in the swordsmanship competition. The winter wind blows, The trees have fallen, and the Duke of Stoke, who is in the mansion in Stoke at the moment, has the worry and fear of an ugly daughter-in-law who is about to see her in-laws.

The car horn outside the window was beeping, and the bright floor-to-ceiling windows clearly showed the light outside, and some slight reflections came over, which made Duke Stoke almost unable to open his eyes, before he passed by outside. The car on the long road was in place, and a group of well-dressed and dazzlingly dressed men rushed out from under the mansion. This group of people was all in groups of twos and threes, obviously divided into several different factions, and there were about a dozen people. Many of them were wearing tight-fitting aristocratic costumes, and most of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, welcoming the approaching cars.

"Haha, I came to the Duke of Stoke's mansion [-] days in advance, just to wait for such a day, the return of Miss Su Lun, which brought the world back to life. With the existence of Miss Su Lun, we I believe that even the All Eagle Empire Royal Swordsmanship Competition will not attract my attention!"

"Walid, you know what a fart, I will let my sword shine brightly on the competition, and show Miss Su Lun what is the most magnificent sword technique! Maybe she will fall in love with me accidentally maybe!"

A group of people around were in tacit understanding and shouted in unison, "You are dreaming!"
