Reject me, hateful woman

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Dragon's Blood Festival is no different from other festivals of the year. Everyone drinks wildly, cheers hard, and then gets drunk. The next day, hungover, they continue to go back to the numb daily life of migrant workers.

But in the eyes of the nobles, the nature of the dinner after the ceremony was completely different.

What an innocent little cutie would think that attending a banquet is just about showing off desserts and courting a mate. For the real rich and powerful, the so-called banquet is not about eating, drinking and having sex, but about the sophistication of people.

As a unique banquet that almost all respectable nobles will attend, countless deals, nasties, consensuses or other things are born at the banquet every year.

Especially this time, for the dignitaries of the five major families who were deeply stimulated by the disappearance of Savus and were inspired to express a certain attitude to the queen through "dragon hunting", the youngest prince Lin En was undoubtedly the most powerful person. Good goal.

For this reason, Lin En's latest version of information has long been placed on the files of the patriarchs of the five major families.

A genius arcanist, a talented scholar, an outstanding diplomat candidate who tamed the Fire Rose Princess, as well as a top student and school bully.

Except for the level of dragon blood that deserves criticism, Lynn Norton is almost flawless.

But unfortunately, this is a red line that everyone knows very well and cannot touch.

Forget about your private attitude. On such an occasion, where half of the nobles in the imperial capital will send people to attend, and publicly ridicule His Highness the Prince's dragon blood purity, are you questioning whether His Highness the Prince is not your biological child, or is Her Majesty the Queen incapable of giving birth?

This is not touching the tiger's beard. This is simply slapping the red dragon in the face in public!

The kind that all the nine tribes have to praise you for being noble.

Party A wanted to make the royal family lose face, but not too much. This was a contradictory request from Party A. The staff of the five major families went through Lin En's information dozens of times, and finally there was one whose hair was almost bald. The staff had an idea:

"Lynn Norton, isn't he good at social etiquette?"

Waking up like a dream.

At this time, the staff of the five major families re-examined His Highness the Prince's resume, and found that the newly-rising Prince, whether it was the absurd period in his childhood or the awakening period after entering the academy, seemed to have no etiquette. Study record of the basic course of nobility.

As for his disdain for aristocratic etiquette, it is obvious to the naked eye, because Minister Trauer, who was known as the Queen's right arm, the Palace Minister, and also had the responsibility of teaching the prince etiquette, had been killed by Her Royal Highness the Queen herself for offending Lin En. ...

In fact, as for aristocratic etiquette, except for some newly promoted upstarts, most of the established aristocrats are very disdainful of this "whalebone skirt straps with four ways to tie them" thing, which is nothing but cumbersome and anti-human.

But it's partial, this thing belongs to the type that you can disdain, but you can't live without.

Lin En, on the other hand, had almost no chance at all. He finally found a point worthy of attacking His Highness. Just when the five major families were planning to use this as a base to launch a fierce attack, unexpectedly, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lin En seemed to have predicted their future. Anticipation.

Prince Lynn Norton knew almost nothing about social etiquette, but he invited the person who was best at it as his female companion.

Kaya Mistry, as the next head of the traitor family Mistry family, everyone in the five major families has not cursed this girl, but they have to admit that her excellence and Ability, there is no doubt about it.

Regardless of words, conversation, behavioral details or identity itself, Kaya is a leader among the younger generation.

Not only could Kaya quietly remind Linn of the details that Linn should pay attention to when they were exchanging whispers, but she could also personally deal with the young nobles who were ready to "ask for advice" from Linn.

Her appearance and the personnel arrangements that the five major families had arranged in advance to make Linn look embarrassed by striking up a conversation all turned into stepping stones to set off this pair of young talents.

As the banquet progressed, Kaya performed outstandingly again and again, and the number of chess pieces in her hand became less and less. In the secret arcane communication band of the five major family patriarchs, some people finally began to lose their patience and became anxious.

"Damn it, what benefits did that traitor's daughter receive to actually lick this Lynn Norton so hard!"

"I said at the time that we should take advantage of Mistry's weakness to drive out this traitorous family. It's all you who have to worry about the face of a useless noble!"

"What's the point of saying this now? Do you really think that the late emperor is an idiot?"

"Everyone, please listen to me."

The low and gentle voice ended the conversation, and the frequency bands of the house owners became quiet.

Because the speaker was Isaac Morris.

Whether it was the eight major families in the past or the five major families today, the head of the Morris family is a well-deserved leader.

Even the idea of ​​continuing Saus's failed plan and trying to contact Duke Reinhard of the North was boldly proposed by the head of the family.

And the facts proved that every step of his step was successful.

Although Reinhard just refused to participate in the discussion for this boring noble game because he was "boring and not interested", as long as a consensus is reached on the "Dragon Hunting" plan, it is already great news.

But now, after Isaac, who had been silent since the beginning of the banquet, spoke, the other family heads subconsciously remained silent and listened.

Unlike other anxious family heads, the Morris family still showed a confident calmness:

"Please don't put the cart before the horse. Our purpose is to lure His Royal Highness to take the 'Holy Test'. The issue of the traitor Mistry is not something that should be discussed now."

"Furthermore, His Highness the Prince chose this young lady from the Mistry family as his helper, and not only did he also give us the clue, are you right, Mr. Bol?"

The head of the Boer family who was named nodded excitedly.

In fact, he has not participated in discussions about moving forward.

However, once the topic came to Mistry's traitorous family, he knew that there would be an occasion for him to show off.

"Then, let's consider it for everyone's sake and open his scars again against Mistry, the traitor."

The head of the Morris family calmly ordered.

"Everything is at your discretion."

The head of the Boer family smiled.

No matter what they become or what high branches they climb onto, the traitors should be severely humiliated!

Then, he calmly walked in the direction of Lin En and applied to the prince for the so-called "judgment."

Kaya also seemed to have guessed something. This girl, who had always been elegant and calm, showed the same vigilance as a female cat encountering a natural enemy when approaching this man.

However, the moment Lin En held her hand, an unreasonable feeling of peace still enveloped her.

Lin En gave her a look and nodded slightly.

Kaya smiled slightly and stopped resisting. Since she had decided to be His Highness's blade, everything would be at His Highness's discretion.

She was also somewhat looking forward to how Lin En would deal with the difficulties caused by the Bol family head.

What the girl didn't expect was that when faced with the Boer family's request for help, Lin En responded with a very rude "Go away".

This answer is very unnoble and impolite.

but,

Upon hearing this answer,

The girl laughed happily.

The head of the Boer family turned dark, and instead of getting angry, he sneered and said, "What do you mean, Your Highness Lin En? Are you going to deny the contract between the first His Majesty and the eight pillar families?"

The so-called contract was the contract between the eight major families and the first Emperor Norton when the Purple Flower Empire was founded.

In the beginning, the eight major families didn't actually trust each other very much. They just held their noses together under the personality charm of the first generation Purple Flower Emperor, and the friction between them was even more constant.

In order to solve this problem, the original Dragon Blood Emperor signed a mediation contract with the eight major families.

That is to say, when unresolved conflicts occur within the eight major families, the blood descendants of the Norton family will step in to mediate. However, with the stabilization of the Norton regime, the relationship between the eight major families has changed from being dissatisfied with each other to working together to fight against the imperial power. After that, little was known about the mediation contract.

But no matter what, this was a contract signed by the first Emperor Norton himself. If Lin En refused to fulfill it, he would definitely be blamed.

At this moment, Lin En suddenly shook his head and said softly:

"Respect Uncle Bol, I'm sorry, maybe there's something wrong with my way of expression that made you feel offended."

"Because I don't think your attitude seems to strictly abide by my adjustments. I think that if you only adjust on the surface, it is just a waste of time and it is unnecessary."

"I will abide by the contract and mediate the conflicts between the two of you with an absolutely impartial stance. But will you absolutely execute the contract?"

So it was here waiting for me?

Regarding Lin En's behavior of wanting him to retreat despite the difficulties, the head of the Boer family was filled with disdain.

The previous Emperor Purple Flower Emperor and the contemporary Queen were unable to mediate disputes. Can you resolve them perfectly?

Sergun responded happily:

"If His Highness Linn's mediation method abides by the contract and does not favor any party, of course I will abide by it."

"In that case, well, please ask Uncle Boer to tell you his problem."

Lynn nodded in satisfaction.

A look of doubt flashed across Segun's eyes.

Did this guy just smile?

However, now that the matter had come to this, there was no room for retreat. The head of the Boer family paused and began to describe the conflict that had been known to everyone in the imperial capital for an unknown number of generations.

In fact, this matter had to be the fault of the first Emperor Norton in the first place.

Because the other party was so full of martial virtue that the level of civil administration could only be described as burning books and harassing Confucians. In the early governance of Zijinhua, the eight major families contributed a large part.

In return for the eight major families who had given him a lot of help, the first Emperor Norton acquiesced to the eight major families dividing the imperial capital into multiple parts. Each family governed an area and only paid taxes and other fees to the Norton family on time every year.

, as the civil and administrative abilities of the subsequent Norton emperors improved, they gradually took back control of these areas, but still acquiesced to each family retaining a small area as their own fiefdom.

Of course, this kind of division cannot have any paper contract, and the conflict between Mistry and Bol also comes from this.

Even in the early stages of the development of the Imperial City, not everyone was assigned a very prosperous area. Mistry was the unlucky one. The governance and development of the assigned areas encountered considerable difficulties, both in terms of manpower. Resources are still severely insufficient.

At this time, they received a request for help at just the right time.

The neighboring Bol family hopes to lease Mistry's reservation land and promises to give Mistry enough rent every year. For the Mistry family, which is already troubled by the useless fiefdom, It can be said that the two sides hit it off immediately.

Under the development of the Bol family, Mistry's reservation developed rapidly. As the Purple Flower Empire grew stronger, the value of the imperial capital also continued to rise, and the conflict between the two sides also originated from this.

After a certain amount of development, the Mistry family has gained enough strength to manage the back cover. They do not want to lease the area to the Bol family, but want to give them some compensation and take back their own reservation.

However, just when the head of the Mistry family visited the Bol family sincerely and made a request, he was politely and firmly...rejected by the other party.

Can anyone prove that it is Mistry's reservation?

Isn't it the Boer family that has been developing since the founding of the People's Republic of China?

Can anyone prove that it is Mistry's reservation?

The First Majesty can indeed do so, but please show his handwriting or other proof.

After receiving this answer, the head of the Mistry family was very angry and immediately asked the other families for mediation. However, when the other families all sided with the Bol family, they all sided.

Only then did the head of the Mistry family realize that they had already lured the wolf into the house, and it was too late.

The angry Mistry family head immediately used the contract power, hoping that the Norton royal family would fairly adjudicate this conflict.

However, no matter who sees this matter, it is a hot potato that is difficult to decide with the word "fairness".

Logically speaking, that was indeed Mistry's territory.

However, its development has always been promoted by the Boer family, and its construction has always been contributed by the Boer family. Even most of the people in it only know that their lords are the men of the Boer family. , who should this territory belong to?

If the adjudicator at that time was an iron-blooded emperor who was equally strong-willed and strong-armed, no matter how the fiefdom was assigned in the end, the final decision might be made directly.

What a coincidence that the Purple Flower Emperor happened to be Lin En's grandfather, the former Emperor of the Bloody Red Dragon who was famous for his inaction.

He did not give a solution that would satisfy anyone, and the matter was shelved. The head of the Mistry family was even angered to death on the spot, and Mistry took this as an opportunity to become a semi-commercial family.

This incident has become an eternal shame in the hearts of the Mistry family.

And wait until Lin En's queen mother, the bloody red dragon, comes to power.

Although she has a strong hand, the Queen Mother does not have a good entry point to deal with this long-standing and unclear historical issue, so she can only try her best to provide assistance to Mistry in other ways.

Mistry, who has taken refuge with Her Majesty the Queen, is also considerate and does not embarrass Her Majesty the Queen. What's more, the nature of their family has been changed to a semi-commercial one, and the fiefdom is no longer so important.

But shame is still shame.

The shame of being fooled, ridiculed, betrayed, and even the head of the family being pissed to death is not so easy to erase.

What's more, the scars were spoken in a joking and mocking tone by the feud's face.

Listening to Chief Boer's narration, Kaya pursed her lips and clenched her pink fists hard.

She looked at Linn subconsciously.

Although it was unlikely, she felt that the His Highness in front of her might really be able to solve the problem that neither emperor could properly solve.

In a way that is truly fair to everyone.

"How is it, Your Highness Lin En?"

The head of the Boer family sneered,

"Nowadays, Mistry's people often come to our family's reservation to cause trouble. Since Miss Kaya 'happens' to be here today, please ask Your Highness Linn to give both parties justice."

Lin En, on the other hand, nodded:

"Uncle Bol's description is very clear. I have made a decision. However, I also have a question. I hope Uncle Bol can help me solve my doubts. If you can solve my doubts, perhaps this problem can also be solved. .”

"Then it's all up to Your Highness. Please just say it doesn't matter."
