"Of course, you may think that what I said is groundless. You don't have to admit your despicable betrayal. But..." Kelsey took off the white gauze gloves on her hand, and in front of Rostow In the face of the Earl of Husband, he threw it on the ground, "As a Victorian gentleman, I cannot turn a blind eye to such power and sex transactions that blaspheme the sanctity of love and marriage. I issue a judgment to you..."

"Ms. Kelsey, you are really joking."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Kelsey's righteous words.Grand Duke Urge pushed Count Rostov away with a smile on his face, and said lightly,

"You are a lady, and Count Rostov is a gentleman. You propose a duel to him, how can he accept it with conscience? In my opinion, Ms. Kelsey as a guest, it is better not to interfere with our traditions Yes. Feelings can be cultivated, and you can also fall in love at first sight, right, Miss Natalia?"

Grand Duke Ulga bypassed Kelsey and looked straight into Natalia's eyes.Natalia opened her mouth, unable to speak.

Kelly gritted her teeth.

She expected that someone might come out to disrupt the situation. After all, she was not at home, and being a woman also had inherent disadvantages.It would have been fine if she was wearing that women's suit, but tonight I was wearing a skirt to match Wayne.The temperament of a person wearing a skirt is not suitable for saying such words.

But she is not helpless. When necessary, Earl Rostov is obviously not deep in the city, and his emotions are exposed on his face. Grand Duke Urgai can bypass Kelsey and talk directly to Natalia, and Kelsey can also ignore Urgh. Grand Duke Erge continued to try to provoke Rostov.

The Ursus people, especially the pedantic Ursus nobles, cannot bear the insult of "female".

But someone obviously didn't want to bother Kelsey anymore.

"boom--"

The door was pushed open heavily, and the leather shoes made a clear sound on the floor.Wayne walked up to Kelsey without saying a word, and showed her a reassuring smile:

"Teresia's done. The unicorn is back." He whispered, then turned his head and looked at Grand Duke Urgai who took a step back, his face full of fear:

"Just now you said that my entourage is nosy?"

Grand Duke Urgai's face froze, and he quickly shook his head: "No, no, His Royal Highness has misunderstood."

Wayne ignored his words at all, took a step forward, and continued to ask:

"Have you forgotten who the host of this banquet is?"

Grand Duke Urgai's face became more and more ugly. He stopped, gritted his teeth, and took a glass of wine from the waiter respectfully, and drank it in one gulp:

"It's my fault, it's my arrogance, this is your banquet."

"You know?" Wayne looked at the empty wine glass in surprise, and chuckled, "I don't think you know. Otherwise, you wouldn't judge my people."

He took off his gloves, threw them on the ground contemptuously, and said:

"Come on, I'll give you another chance to judge now. You said that Kelsey is not a gentleman, so you can evaluate it now, shall I?"

"Who gave you such an illusion that a Duke of Ursus is qualified to be aggressive towards me."

Chapter 150 Nine, Old Lynx, You Are Blushing

Aggressive?Who is being aggressive now?

Grand Duke Urgai's face was so dark that ink could be squeezed out, but, facing Wayne's accusation, not only did he not dare to object, he even had to bow his head and make amends.

Wayne has no interest in banquets. This is a fact recognized by the nobles of Ursas these days. Whenever there is a banquet, Wayne must find an opportunity to slip away, either standing at the gate to greet the guests, or simply not seeing them. silhouette.Although he was the nominal organizer of the banquet, the banquet was actually running on its own.And in a banquet that operates on its own and is not controlled by anyone, it is naturally those local big shots who can speak.

Just like Grand Duke Urgai.Although there are no fewer than a hundred grand dukes in Ursus alone, it is naturally impossible for more than a hundred grand dukes to be present at a small banquet. A lineup of about ten or so grand dukes will give each other some face. This is also to build "order" a part of.Therefore, when his son made it clear that he was interested in the daughter of the Rostov family, Grand Duke Urgai didn't mind being the talker.

Anyway, if everyone gives me face, I will naturally be able to speak.As for Kelsey, although she is an entourage of His Royal Highness Wayne, she is just an entourage.

If His Royal Highness Wayne valued her, he would not have left her alone at the banquet hall drinking.According to Grand Duke Urgai's aesthetic standards, although a film like Kelsey is not strong enough to meet the aesthetics of the Ursas, it is still somewhat pretty.Wayne is belittling her by leaving her alone on the scene instead of bringing her along.

He couldn't understand how a prince would trust a person who was not related to him so much, and even entrusted her with the full authority to handle his noble relations in Ursas independently.Not to mention incomprehensible, it was impossible for him to even think of it.

Up to this moment, he still couldn't recover from his senses, staring blankly at the white gloves that Wayne threw on the floor, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Let him judge whether Wayne is a gentleman?

Let's not talk about whether you are right or not, am I qualified enough to evaluate this?

This question is like asking Count Rostov again, whether I, Grand Duke Urge, am a gentleman.Not to mention the answer in my heart, even if I say yes, I don't have the qualifications.Under the strict hierarchy, only the Emperor Fyodor of Ursus is qualified to say this.

Even the other royal families of Ursas dare not make such remarks indiscriminately.

Grand Duke Urgai took a step back, his face was as stiff as a dried salted fish, he opened his mouth, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.He is not stupid, knowing that Wayne's words have already set him up.If he answers:

"Of course you are a gentleman."

That Wayne can take it for granted: "In this case, I challenge Count Rostov to a duel, and you have no right to interfere." He would lose face.

If he's being bold, reply, "You're not a gentleman."

That's a big deal. At a banquet convened by His Majesty the Emperor and hosted by Prince Victoria, where many nobles gathered, they openly "rebuked" a prince for being "unworthy of the name of a gentleman." This was a proper diplomatic event.With His Majesty Fyodor's current appearance of sharpening his knife to the nobles, he may have earned enough face from his noble colleagues, and whether he can keep his mind is a question.Maybe it could still be the story of bards for a long time—the kind that scolds stupid nobles.

Grand Duke Urgai no longer has the slightest idea of ​​helping Count Rostov and his child to preside over the "marriage".He looked at Wayne weakly, and kept winking, as if "whatever you want, as long as you can save face and brains, I will give you as much as you want."

But Wayne just turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye.

He is not a fool, today's matter, no matter what channel it is through, will inevitably reach Fyodor's ears in the end.

This is Ursus, not Victoria, and Wayne publicly humiliating an Ursas nobleman, who is also a grand duke, is actually very risky.It is precisely because of this that if he wants to do it, he must do it absolutely.

Wayne and Fyodor didn't communicate too much, but he knew that the emperor was one of the few sensible people in Ursas. He also hated the nobles, and wished that someone could help him sweep the faces of the nobles.This person could be a rising commoner, an upright minister, a nobleman himself, or of course Wayne.

However, if Wayne did this kind of thing, he slapped Ursas and Fyodor more or less.At this time, Wayne can only do one thing and keep on doing it, and make a little face for the nobles.Let Fyodor have a good time, so good that he temporarily ignores the fact that Wayne slapped him conveniently.

Behind Wayne is Wei Na and Victoria, who helped Fyodor slap the nobleman severely. Although it has no practical effect, it is so refreshing, and maybe he can easily take back a Uggah who "offended the state guest". With the power of Grand Duke Ergay, a sensible person like Fyodor would definitely understand what Wayne meant and would not embarrass himself.

Maybe I have to stretch out the other side of the face, let Wayne do it again, and by the way charge more to suppress a few nobles.

This trick is called exchanging skin for power.Fyodor was relieved, Wien achieved his goal, and only the nobles were injured.How could Wayne let go of such a good thing and accept Grand Duke Urgai's flirtatious thoughts?

"What? Did Grand Duke Urgai get sand in his eyes?"

Wayne asked with "concern".The angry Grand Duke Urgai's face went straight to the color of a pig's liver.But it doesn't happen well.

There is no way, Wayne pretended to be dumb, and the other nobles also watched the show, so he could only choose one.

For an old Ursas noble who relied on military exploits to gain power and indulged in sensuality, does it matter which one to choose between the face of the family and his own brains?

"Of course you are a gentleman."

Grand Duke Urgai said wisely and aggrievedly.

"It seems that Grand Duke Urgai still has vision."

Wayne took out another glove from his bag and put it on.With a calm face, he picked up a glass of red wine, glanced at the onlookers who were confused by Wayne's set of operations and Grand Duke Urgai, pretended to be "surprised" and raised his wine glass, which was regarded as a toast, and poured out the red wine in the glass. drink up.The innocent expression on his face seemed to say:

"The duel was proposed by Kelsey, not by me. I'll ask you if I'm worthy of being a gentleman. Don't get it wrong, everyone."

Grand Duke Urgai also realized that his brainstorming just now was completely manipulated by Wayne. The majestic Grand Duke was treated like a monkey, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet...

Turned around 180 degrees on the spot, pulled up little Urgai, and left the banquet hall in embarrassment.

Why are you still here?Was he whipped to death by Wayne?Continue to lose face in front of the nobles and become a laughing stock?

Wayne watched his back as he left, and waited until he opened the door and half walked out of the door before he realized it and said:

"Oh? Why did Grand Duke Urgai leave? He has such a good eye, how many more drinks do I want to have with him?"

He turned his head with a smile, looked at Count Rostov, and said:

"You say so, Mr. Rostov?"

"Dear...His Royal Highness." Rostov sneered, glanced sideways at Natalia, rolled his eyes, and gave a "come on" look, and immediately stepped back a few steps, When he reached the door, he said, "His Royal Highness, I am very sorry. I have just come to St. Jun Castle and have not yet met His Majesty. Please allow me to leave the venue and go to the palace for a while."

After saying that, he immediately dodged out the door, not even giving Wayne time to react.

Of course, Wayne noticed the meaningful look Rostov gave Natalia just now, shook his head a little dumbfounded, turned around, looked at the other nobles present, and said:

"Everyone, there should be nothing else. Let's talk about a project in Victoria. I plan to build a memorial in my fief New Wales..."

Hearing that there are benefits to be gained, the little bit of unhappiness just now disappeared.The banquet hall was soon filled with a cheerful atmosphere again.

After Wayne finished speaking, he allowed the nobles to start "bidding" with their colleagues, bent down, patted the hairy head of Natalia, who was already above Lolita, but not full of Royal Sister, stood up, and looked at Kelsey solemnly said:

"It's troublesome for you, thank you."

"Why did you come in suddenly?"

"I'm worried about you."

"I have nothing to worry about." Kelsey smiled.

Wayne shook his head: "I'm at ease when you do things. But I'm worried about you."

I'm worried that you will accidentally break Xiao Zaolu's eyes. She is still so young, and it's time for her world view to be finalized.

Of course, Wayne would never say these words.

Kelsey blushed, raised her glass, touched Wayne, raised her head and poured it into her mouth, then walked straight towards the bathroom.

"Where are you going?" Wayne asked suspiciously.

"Bathroom!" Kelsey replied.

Not to go to the bathroom, for the same reason as just going to the bathroom for the first time.

She had to wash her face well, to cool down her face that was burning like a red iron, and by the way, calm down her heartbeat that was beating like a rock music.

Chapter 160 Methods

Xiao Zaolu was saved, but what to do next is a more troublesome thing.

Do you want to take it away?Leaving aside the fact that he hasn't greeted Wei Na beforehand, what reason should he use to take Zao Lu away?Humanitarian aid?In the eyes of most nobles, political marriage is really a normal thing.It can't be called anything humane or inhumane at all.The legitimate son of a duke, a powerful future party, marrying the daughter of an earl is even condescending.If it wasn't for Wayne's higher title, today's incident may not be able to pass like this.

Moreover, no matter what reason Wayne uses to take Zao Lu away, as long as the news at the banquet spreads, everyone will inevitably think that "Prince Victoria has taken a fancy to Natalia, so he came to help", then It will inevitably damage your reputation.Although Wayne didn't care much about this, he couldn't help but care about Wei Na and Teresia's feelings.What's more, Wayne is really not too punished for revealing a 12-year-old big loli.

All of a sudden, Wayne and Natalia stared wide-eyed, and their clever minds, which had always been pitiful, were a little helpless.

"His Royal Highness?"

Suddenly, Lilia, who had been ignored by Wayne, spoke out.Wayne raised his head, noticed her face, and asked in surprise:

"Aye?"

"Yaye?" Lilia was stunned for a moment, "My name is Lilia, teacher Kelsey's...student. It's our first meeting."

Lilia?Wayne came back to his senses and remembered the identity of the person in front of him.The mother of Yaye (Luisa), a staunch Ursus woman, wandered the field with dust left behind.Even Wayne had to admire the spirit of sacrificing himself to assassinate a duke for the hatred of his husband.

Wayne liked her character quite a lot. This is one of the few square characters that Wayne has seen who insists on "never give up hatred".Wayne has always felt that those who always persuade others to "let go of hatred can start again, and insist on hatred and revenge will only be empty", one counts as one, and they should all be struck by lightning.Even a tolerant and magnanimous person like Teresia knows the truth that "a gentleman does something and doesn't do it, he doesn't know the suffering of others, so don't persuade others to be kind".Those who are always persuading others to be generous are as hateful as the perpetrators.The most important thing is that those so-called "decent people" still follow this trick, let go of their hatred on the eve of revenge, and watch those who hurt their loved ones get away with it without punishment.On the other hand, I share with my friends and lovers.I really don't feel worthy for your dead mother.

What, it wasn't the mother who died?No, no, just kidding, how could someone who can accept such a proposal have a mother.

And Lilia is undoubtedly a mother with her own persistence.She has a great appetite for someone like Wayne who hates and hates... well, this time it really is, but in terms of character quality.

But isn't she dead?Wayne clearly remembered that the inner guard who came to Victoria to hunt down Kelsey clearly said that the traitor who fled to Sami had been killed by him?

"You look surprised? Is there something strange about me?"

Lilia looked at her attire with some embarrassment. She was dressed tightly and did not expose any inch of skin that should not be exposed. It was the complete opposite of those socialites walking among the crowd in the banquet hall.It even looks a bit rustic.

Wayne waved his hand: "No, no, it's nothing, I'm just a little surprised. Kelsey mentioned you to me."

Lilia blinked and asked curiously, "What did she say?"

"You are a great wife, but not a qualified mother." Wayne shrugged, and in his mind, a writer in the comment area on the Internet gave Lilia an evaluation after watching the plot of Walking in the Dust. It was recounted.

As for whether Kelsey mentioned Lilia to Wayne, of course there was no such thing.But Kelsey must have mentioned it to Theresia, no matter how bad it is, Fyodor always knows something that happened at the Imperial Research Institute back then.Wayne can always find the source of the blame.So she is not afraid of Lilia's doubts.

Sure enough, Lilia did not doubt the authenticity of Wayne's words.She just drooped her eyebrows slightly, pursed her lips bitterly, and squeezed out a lonely smile:

"Ms. Kelsey is still Mrs. Kelsey. She never speaks mercilessly and speaks directly. But I have to admit that her words... are still so pertinent."

So Kelsey was so straightforward when talking to you before?The Riddler still had a period of Straight Girl ten years ago?

Then a few decades earlier, would she have a period of acting like a petite woman?

Wayne tried to imagine it, and shivered suddenly.

I can't imagine, just imagining the scene of Kelsey, I feel my neck itching, and something is about to be held.

Wayne quickly changed the subject:

"It's nice to see you here. Kelsey also said that you... went to Sami for some things. I didn't expect you to go back to Ursus."

"Did she even tell you about this?" Lilia was surprised, but still acquiesced to Wen's words, nodded and said, "I did go to Sami for some things, but then I came back. I A nursing home was opened in the inner city of Fort St. Jun to take care of some homeless old people and children." She struggled for a while, looked at Wayne, and said, "Frankly speaking, the situation in the nursing home is not very good. I came here just to ask for some support."

Wayne blinked, and it took him a long time to realize that Lilia was asking him for money?

The so-called support is "funding aid", financial aid.It seems that Miss Lilia's book is not very good?That's right, even though he escaped the pursuit of the inner guards and returned to Ursus, the cost of opening a sanatorium in the inner city is definitely not small.With Lilia's straight-forward and vengeful character, she probably won't have anything to do with those slippery bureaucrats. In this way, without government assistance, how can she run a charity organization that is basically impossible to make money by herself? May become rich.

No wonder she came to the banquet.This banquet is probably the place where Ursas has "the most opportunities" in recent years.If there is no supporter here, Lilia's nursing home is probably not far from closing down.

Wayne was very interested in how she got rid of the pursuit of Ursus' inner guard, because it involved an ancient snowy country-Sami.One is close to Ursus, but has never been conquered by Ursus. It is obvious that the level of industrialization and urbanization is very backward, but it has turned into a stubborn stone and blocked the road of Ursus' conquest.The tundra country that never surrendered even in the time of the most glorious emperor of Ursus.

Wayne is willing to help Lilia, after all, money is the smallest thing for him.Victoria is short of everything but money.But right now, he had a better idea.
