Although everyone has always known that there are demons, in fact, the demons are generally hidden very deeply during the non-war period. Most people are in a state of hearing about the demons and have never seen them.
Unexpectedly, their Grand Duke Stuart made such a big news just after he came back. For this era of barren entertainment, it can be regarded as a topic of discussion for a long time in the future.
In fact, everyone wanted to ask the second prince what it was like to have a demon clan as his staff, but unfortunately no one dared to ask.
Being observed secretly by such a group of people, the second prince's eyebrows were faintly twitching.
After all, he is a prince. Theoretically speaking, the second prince is used to being paid attention to by so many people, but he is not guilty... The feeling of getting along with the demons day and night is just not feeling. Whoever made him a demon, it is heartbreaking to say, why not Come meet him...
Unlike him who had to wait until the banquet was over before he could leave, his staff and that idiot Joshua had already been sent to the imperial capital in advance. It seemed that Grand Duke Stuart was unwilling to let them stay in his territory for too long.
The action was too fast, and he really failed to extract the location of the seal from Joshua... He could only pin his hopes on the demons in the imperial capital.
He just hoped that everyone would stop staring at him and change the subject quickly.
Maybe his prayers worked, Bellatrix also came at this time.
Because this is Langdon's birthday party rather than a diplomatic occasion, it would be a bit suggestive if she brought a female companion at this time, so Bellatrix did not wait for Langdon to join her this time, but entered the banquet hall alone .
Bellatrix actually considered whether to take Lilica with her, but because Langdon refused, she had to let Lilica stay in the room and not go out.
Fortunately, Lilica really doesn't seem to care about participating in the banquet, as if she is causing trouble to Langdon, and her purpose of this trip has been achieved... Even Bellatrix, who has become an expert on Helena, can't understand Lilica. what happened.
She could only sigh with emotion that her own father really knew how to choose—so many royal knights, how could he choose Lilica accurately?
Oh, I remembered, because Lilica "saved" the Son of Prophecy, the emperor's original intention was just to let them go to school together and have a good relationship with the Son of Prophecy... That's fine.
Because the child of prophecy had no name among her rumored objects, Langdon dominated the screen by himself.
Bellatrix's elf ears are really obvious, and her blond hair and golden eyes are very recognizable. She quietly walked into the banquet hall, and was immediately discovered. Someone began to salute her, and many people talked about it. It was also quietly transferred from the Demon Race to Bellatrix.
"The princess is really here?"
"Could it be that our grand duke will really marry the princess?"
"It's possible... After all, the princess has come to the Principality, so it's impossible for His Majesty to not know about it?"
Bellatris' elf ears allowed her to easily catch these gossips. She waved her fan carelessly and put on a business-like smiling face to deal with the nobles who came forward to chat.
But these people were chatting, and the topic was a bit off.
"Actually, I support the saintess more. Those from our principality grew up with the duke...and they feel more secure when they meet the demons."
"Anyway, it's almost a choice between the saint and the princess, right? Are there other candidates?"
"Is it gone?"
At this moment, there was a commotion at the door.
A burly man walked in who was completely different from the weak and aristocratic style in this room.
Obviously, except for the guards, guests at the banquet should not carry weapons, but the sword on this man's waist was hanging there neatly.
The man was wearing a military uniform, with a square face and beard, and his eyes were sharply scanning his surroundings.
Standing beside him was a girl with an orange high ponytail in a cavalry uniform. The one-handed sword on her waist had not been taken away. She was talking to the man with an unhappy expression.
The sudden commotion just now meant that someone had already recognized it. The person who came was actually the head of the Royal Knights—they didn't understand why such a big guy would appear at this banquet.
Could it be that the emperor has ordered something?He even chose to come during the birthday party, and he didn't know to change the time. Did he deliberately show the duke's face?
"Teacher, the Duke is really good... Don't you still have a mission? Wouldn't it be good to take a detour?"
Bridget persuaded with a sigh.
The head of the group snorted coldly: "If he is really good, he won't let you secretly resign."
God knows how he felt when he was out on a mission and suddenly received an urgent letter from his senior disciple. When he opened it, he found out that it was the resignation letter from his favorite junior disciple.
This little apprentice of his has good talent, good personality, and is good at everything, but he raised this little apprentice like his own daughter!
Why didn't she catch it at a glance, the girl ran away with the wild man! ?
He inquired urgently, and found that the Duke of Stuart seemed to have a bit of a reputation in the imperial capital... Although it seems to have been clarified, the matter of the nobility is uncertain. It is very clear that the higher the nobleman is, the more chaotic his private life is, and the less he takes romance seriously.
Coupled with the sudden resignation of the young apprentice, he immediately had a prejudice against the duke. He just finished handling the task at hand, so he decided to take a detour to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, it happened to be in time for the birthday party.
Bridget worried: "Teacher, you don't want to threaten the Duke, do you?"
"Why, I'll just say hello to him." The leader glanced at his little apprentice, "Why, are you afraid that I will scare your duke? It sounds unreliable to be scared so easily, why don't you hurry up Just leave with me."
Although he was biased, the group leader had a little trust in his little apprentice.
He knew that his apprentice looked dumb, but actually he was like an animal that lived by intuition. He was not easy to deceive, and someone who could be recognized by her probably still had some advantages...
But those rumors also made him uneasy. What if his little apprentice had never seen the playboy's tricks and was really cheated? He had to meet Duke Stuart with his own eyes to be relieved.
Compared with the little apprentice and the rumors, the leader of course trusted his own eyesight more. As long as he saw the other party, he could know what kind of person the Duke was.
Bridget sighed again when she found herself unable to persuade her.
Just now, after she sensed the aura deliberately released by the teacher from a distance, as if announcing Bridget that he had come, she found that the teacher put down the task in hand and ran around, so she hurriedly told Langdon and asked if she should let her The teacher comes in.
"If it doesn't work, I'll stop him!" Bridget vowed, "Although the teacher has a bad temper, he is not a person who doesn't understand etiquette. He didn't even bring a gift. If you refuse him to come to the door, he won't bother you!"
Langdon looked calm: "Oh, it's okay, let him come."
Bridget was surprised: "Eh? Is it okay? You were obviously repulsed before?"
"Anyway, we will meet sooner or later..."
Langdon had already thought about it.
Compared to other people's troubles, Bridget is already easy to deal with, as long as he has a clear path in front of the head of the Royal Knights, he really can't do without Senior Sister now, Senior Sister is too reliable.
A person who is emotionally stable, who can even improve Langdon's mood, and who is also strong is exactly what Langdon needs most now.
The person who thinks he can become the head of the Royal Knights is not really a reckless man, he must have a sense of proportion. For the sake of his birthday party, maybe he can live a little easier than other days.
Langdon didn't expect that Bridget would be so valued by the head of the group, and now he has the consciousness of taking away his very precious apprentice... The head promised the senior sister's mother to find a new student for her. As for my good husband, it turned out that the senior sister ran to him, so it's normal to be worried about coming over to have a look.
Compared with Langdon, Bridget was more disturbed. On the way to pick up the captain, she repeatedly told him not to scare the Duke, which made the captain feel sour.
"Brie, are you a little too partial to that kid?"
"That's why I said it all. If it wasn't for the Duke, I would have dropped out of school and returned to my hometown long ago! I wouldn't be able to see my teacher, let alone join the Royal Knights... The Duke is my benefactor! Teacher, don't be too cruel to him! "
The head of the group muttered: "How can there be such a kind nobleman... he should just find an excuse to talk to you..."
He had also heard Bridget mention the person who changed her life before, but he didn't take it seriously. He didn't expect that Bridget would be so affectionate, just thank her, why did she come to the door on her own initiative?
Bridget said angrily: "Teacher, if you talk about the Duke like that again, I will really get angry. The Duke is really not the kind of person you think."
"Okay, okay." The head of the group conceded like a wayward daughter with a temperless father, "I'm just saying hello, I really don't know how to do anything."
Anyway, even if a kid at this age can act, he can't hide it from his eyes. As long as he sees it, he can almost see the other person's true nature after a few words of chat.
At this moment, the music of the band suddenly changed, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall became warmer. The person in front bent down because of saluting, which happened to let the burly leader out of sight, and let him see that he finally walked in. The blond boy in the banquet hall.
Well, it's finally here.
Then let him see, what kind of person is the young Duke Stuart, who can make his little apprentice so determined!
70. Three sentences made the group leader treat me differently (3k)
The captain was not completely impressed with Langdon.
He and Langdon both attended the previous meeting of the Imperial Capital, but because Langdon was too young, it was obviously just a formality among the old fritters who were actively speaking. I remember it was a very typical aristocratic image.
Now, that vague impression finally gradually became clear.
The young duke was handsome and noble, with blond hair that was slightly curly and slightly long, tied loosely on his shoulders by a headband, a pair of sapphire blue eyes were clear and sharp, although he was smiling at the people around him, how could he be so indifferent Can't stop it either.
However, it is different from the time when there was almost no sense of presence in the parliament. It may be because of being in power during this period of time and being in his own principality at this moment. He is more imposing and sharp. When he stops to greet someone When it comes time, even the elderly ministers will show a flattered expression.
The saint walked over on her own initiative. The Duke lowered his head and talked to the saint. As if he felt something, he raised his head and raised his wine glass to Princess Bellatrix who was not far away. There was a careless flow between his movements. .
Hmm... Just now, I seem to have vaguely heard people nearby discussing topics such as marrying a princess or a saint... As expected, there must be a reason for the rumors.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a typical aristocrat who is proud of his youth, holds great power, relies on his status and outstanding appearance, and can wander among women willfully.
He is also the type who will tell his little apprentice to run away when he sees it... So what is it about this guy that makes his little apprentice so persistent? !
Even if Bridget didn't want her teacher to affect the banquet, so she forcibly dragged the leader to stand in an inconspicuous corner, but it may be that the leader's piercing eyes are too strong, and the protagonist of the banquet surrounded by countless people, Still noticed the situation here.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he said something to the people around him, and they made way for him to walk this way.
The head of the group didn't intend to hide his whereabouts all the time, and simply walked forward, intending to join the other party.
"Teacher..." Bridget called worriedly behind him.
The head of the group snorted: "Understood."
He wouldn't have done anything like this, would he? ?But his little apprentice was so nervous, he felt very uncomfortable instead!
"Long time no see, Commander Theodore." The young duke put the wine glass on the serving tray beside him, and then stretched out his hand to the commander, "The last time we met was the Imperial Capital."
The leader squinted his eyes, grinned, and shook hands with the Duke: "Yeah, long time no see, may the glory of God shine on you forever, Duke... just passing by, so I can't miss it. It will make my little apprentice insist on resigning his allegiance." Someone's birthday party."
As soon as he said this, he didn't leave at all, but the other people who were separated by a certain distance couldn't help but exchanged glances.
What?Is the young apprentice of the head of the Royal Knights from the Duchy of Stuart now?Our Grand Duke is so awesome?Have you dug into the Royal Knights?
Langdon heard the dissatisfaction in the captain's words, and silently twitched his hand without twitching.
Even though it was just an ordinary handshake, Langdon felt that his hand seemed to be shackled by something made of iron, and even the other side continued to exert force... It is a very common way to show off, and it will not make him break. Hands, probably to the extent that it hurts him.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Langdon's eyes. He always felt that he was not the teacher who met his senior, but rather that he tricked the little girl into elopement and was found by the parents...
Fortunately, using magic to strengthen one's body is something that can be taught in first grade. Langdon silently strengthened his hand, greeted the "old father's greeting" without changing his face, and at the same time defended himself cryptically.
"I am also very grateful to my senior, who is willing to give up her job in the Royal Knights and return to her hometown to contribute to the construction of the Principality." Langdon replied with a smile, "A person like Senior is willing to return to the Principality of Stuart, yes It is also an honor for me to be recognized.”
The head of the group showed a somewhat surprised expression, raised his eyebrows, and let go of his hand: "Although my little apprentice is very talented, he hasn't graduated yet..."
Langdon replied in seconds: "I will not interfere with her studies. It is a good thing to keep improving. Since the head of the group is her teacher, he naturally has the right to guide her."
The group leader was satisfied: "Very good."
Bridget: "...?"
She looked at her teacher who had been picking her nose and eyes in a daze, and Langdon patted her hair in a few words.
Langdon was actually a little puzzled. He was prepared to deal with other difficulties from the leader, but he didn't expect this to be let go... Perhaps it was because of the atmosphere and the overall situation that he decided not to embarrass him on this occasion?
But he didn't have time to study it carefully. As the protagonist of the banquet, he still had the task of entertaining, so he chatted with the head of the group for a while, inexplicably agreed to see you in the imperial capital, and then turned to talk to other people.
As soon as Langdon and the group around Langdon left, Bridget couldn't help saying, "Master, I thought you didn't like the duke..."
She could tell whether the teacher was being patient for her sake, or whether he had really changed his mind about Langdon... But it was only a few words!Why? !
The head of the group said with emotion: "The teacher is wrong. You really have a good eye for people."
Just like what he said before, for a young man of Langdon's age, he has a self-confidence that can be easily seen through.
Shaking hands is the most common temptation, and it will never fail.
The ordinary nobles were treated by him, and those who were smarter would pretend that nothing happened, and those who were not smarter would get mad on the spot, and at the very least, they would be eccentric.
Although this world generally puts strength first, the consequence of being peaceful for too long is that the nobles like to flaunt the idea that a magician who is not productive and elegant is noble, and a magic fighter who sweats in close combat is a low-minded one.
Because the leader himself was born in a low-level nobleman, he was quite familiar with this idea. As a magic swordsman, he had to be top-notch in order to make those arrogant nobles look at him differently—at least on the surface.
Occasionally, he will deliberately provoke some people who are not pleasing to the eye, admiring the performance of the other party's daring to be angry but not speaking, so that these nobles who sit in the study and give pointers to the country can clearly understand the reality of the supremacy of strength.
But Langdon's reaction was completely different from what he expected. He had never encountered such a situation before.
The team leader thought that Langdon would at least be a little dissatisfied, but he didn't expect that there was only helplessness in the other party's eyes.
That kind of wonderful connivance, shown to him by a young man, almost made the leader think he was wrong.
But there was no doubt that Langdon was not angry. Facing his provocation, he was also calm. He even understood why he was provocative from his point of view, so he felt helpless.
Moreover, when the young duke talked to him, his eyes were very sincere and straightforward, the kind of eyes that would only be shown by those who believed that sincerity would be exchanged for sincerity.
Obviously his little apprentice posted it upside down, and the other party didn't underestimate the little apprentice because of this—did you hear what that guy said just now?
What he said was not to welcome Bridget, but to thank him; it was not that it was an honor for Bridget to be hired, but that it was his honor and recognition that Bridget was willing to come.
From the subject and words, it is very easy to see the essence of a person, especially the leader is sure that this is not a rhetoric, but a heartfelt answer from the other party.
Even if it's speaking skills, those nobles don't bother to use it on him and his little apprentice, they will feel that it is worthless.
Before getting along with him, the leader really didn't expect the young Duke of Stuart to be such a character.
