The two danced with Natasha like a husband and wife, complementing each other perfectly. Although they did not become the focus of the audience, they also withstood the gazes of many nobles around them.
Especially the young heirs of the aristocracy, when they saw Natasha's beautiful face and hot and graceful figure, they almost drooled.
It's a pity that anyone who is not blind can see that the two of them are in love. During the dance, Natasha's soft eyes never left Nalant for even a moment.
In this way, in the end, these young men could only cast their hateful eyes on Nalant, jealous that this pig who didn't know where it came from actually scooped such a big cabbage.
Of course, although they thought Natasha was already a woman, there were still many young men who were used to being dissolute and wanted to use a hoe, so they all asked about the identity of such a beautiful woman like Natasha, and wanted to dig her out.
A dig into Narant's corner.
As for the result, it was all in vain. I am afraid that no one present except Cady of the Dolly family knew Natasha's identity.
As for Nakadi, I don’t know where he went. In short, Nalant never saw him after entering the manor.
"Narant, do you want to play another song!" When the musician's performance came to an end, Natasha was still unfinished and continued to pull Narant to prepare for another song.
"My eldest lady, we have danced three songs in a row. If I continue to dance, I am afraid that the noble boys around me will eat me alive. Your charm is too great!" Nalant immediately joked after hearing this.
"Narant, you are so bad!" Natasha blushed immediately when she heard this, because there were indeed many young men around her who kept glancing in this direction.
Of course, Natasha knew that Narant was making fun of her, so she looked shy and angry when she laughed and scolded her. She was so beautiful.
And the look on her face made the noble princes around her feel even more heartbroken and almost have nosebleeds.
"Haha, okay, my eldest lady, you go to the sidelines to rest for a while. Little girl Annie is still waiting. When I finish dancing with her, I will come to you to dance three songs. I will dance with you tonight.
Let you dance enough!" Nalant's eyes were full of hidden meanings.
Natasha, a lover who knew Nalant well, naturally knew what Nalant was thinking, and she didn't care. She gave him a sullen eye roll, and then returned to the long table with graceful steps.
"Annie, come and dance with the adults!" Nalant turned to look at Anne with a smile on his lips.
Little girl Anne had been following Nalant and the others.
This little girl doesn't like to talk, but she doesn't care about other people's eyes.
Therefore, even though it was very strange to stand alone in this scene before, she did not feel any discomfort.
After hearing Nalant's instructions, Anne lowered her head lower. It was obvious that this girl was not confident either.
Naturally, Nalant knew that this little girl couldn't dance, so he simply stopped talking and stepped forward to take the girl's hands.
"Just follow the steps of adults, let's take our time!" Nalant took the girl's somewhat stiff hands and began to lead her to dance slowly to the music.
The girl's steps were very unfamiliar, even without any steps at all, and she would step on Nalant's feet from time to time.
However, instead of saying anything, Narant kept praising and encouraging the girl.
Gradually, Annie's downcast face showed a similar look, and her eyes seemed to have an extra vitality.
With this anger, her original numbness and hollowness immediately faded away a lot.
After a full five minutes, the song finally ended with the musician's performance.
And the little girl Anne was in a hurry from the beginning, and gradually she was able to imitate Nalant's steps and move slowly.
"Annie, the song is over. Let's go get something to eat first. The adults will play another song with you later!"
"Well, thank you, sir!" Anne nodded immediately.
Immediately, Nalant took his lucky daughter back to the original long table.
"Hey, where are Natasha and Marquis Bauer?"
However, when Nalant came to the original long table, he found that Natasha and her father Bauer were not here.
There are only a few children around ten years old beside their long table. The children, both boys and girls, are half-eating and half-playing with various delicacies on the long table, and beside them are dozens of people.
A number of male and female servants followed.
Nalant didn't pay attention when he saw this. Instead, he raised his head and scanned the field, trying to find Natasha and Bauer.
"Isn't it going to Duke Miller?" This idea suddenly came to Nalant's mind, and it was really possible after thinking about it.
However, it would have been nice if the two of them had spoken to themselves before going there.
Then when the time comes, you should first go talk to Butler Milo and ask about what you got rid of yesterday.
I sent so much wine, no matter whether it was successful or not, Duke Miller would definitely give a reply.
As for the reason why Narant did not tell Natasha and his father about this matter before, it was because Narant did not know whether it would be possible.
Therefore, if I get the confirmation, it won't be too late to tell them then.
How could he imagine that Natasha and Bauer went to find Miller without informing him.
In fact, this was Narant's misunderstanding.
If Natasha and Baoer took the initiative to find Duke Miller, then at least Natasha would definitely take the initiative to talk to Nalant.
But it was Butler Milo who just sent his servant to look for him.
Originally, the servant was going to take Nalant with him, but when he came, he just asked if he was from the Frank family, so Bauer and Natasha responded and were immediately invited away by the servant.
When Natasha saw Nalant and Annie dancing, she hesitated for a moment and did not disturb them.
After all, she had enough people to come to Nalant's gang, and even the golden invitation was exchanged for Nalant, so it was just right for her and her father to go there at this moment, so as not to worry Nalant again later.
"Duke Miller, congratulations on your happy birthday. I heard the servant said that you want to see me for something?" In a leisure area on the side of the hall, Duke Miller was sitting on the sofa in the middle.
Natasha and Baoer were sitting on the side, looking a little reserved at the moment.
At this time, a middle-aged nobleman wearing a gorgeous dress came in front of a few people and spoke to Duke Miller.
The middle-aged noble glanced at Natasha and Baoer, but there was a little playfulness in his eyes.
And this middle-aged nobleman is none other than the current patriarch of the Dolly family, Marquis Bick. At this moment, Young Master Nakadi is also following Marquis Bick.
"Marquis Bick, thank you for coming today. Come and sit down first, and we'll talk after we sit down!" Duke Miller made a polite gesture of invitation towards Bick.
Immediately, Marquis Bic also hesitated and sat directly opposite Natasha and Bauer.
"Marquis Bick, do you know these two people?" After Bick sat down, Duke Miller immediately asked with a faint smile.
"Your Majesty Duke, although this is the first time I have met these two people, I have already heard from my eldest son Cady that they are one of the new nobles who have just migrated from the Glory Continent, a member of the Frank family, right?"
Piccolo also spoke with a smile, but this smile made people uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it, like a gray wolf looking at a sheep.
"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that they actually found you, the Duke. Duke, I don't know what you are planning to ask me to do this time. For your sake, I, the Dolly family, will do our best to satisfy you!"
"Well, Dolly, although this Frank family comes from the Glory Continent, they have joined our Nok Empire after all. Since they are nobles of the same empire, we should all help each other..."
"I heard them say that you are planning to cooperate with them in running caravans and some shops selling goods?"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke, our Dolly family just wants to develop industry during this time. It just so happens that the Frank family also has this intention, so I think they are not familiar with the various territories of our Knock Empire, so I want to invite them to join us.
Cooperate!" Piccolo's face did not turn red when he spoke, and he described the robbery as if it was a favor.
Although Natasha and Baoer wanted to curse immediately after hearing this, they also knew that this was not the time for them to wait for others to speak.
Duke Miller also laughed and said, "Bick, it is indeed a good thing that your Dolly family can think of taking care of the newly joined nobles. However, I heard that you are not prepared to provide any gold coins or manpower, but
Are you going to ask for half of the Frank family’s profit share?”
"Your Majesty the Duke, I do want half of the profits from the Frank family's operation. However, without gold coins and manpower, such a thing will definitely not exist. Our Dolly family will definitely not take half of the profits in vain."
"For example, our Dolly family will help caravans and shops manage the nobles in the principality. Sir, you also know how stingy some nobles are. They will often make things difficult for caravans going to trade in their territories."
"And for new nobles like the Frank family, it will definitely be difficult for their caravan to avoid encountering difficulties for the nobles."
"And as long as our Dolly family manages things from top to bottom, we can put an end to such things. This is not something that just any family can do."
"In addition, the Frank family does not know the various territories of our principality. Our Dolly family is also preparing to collect information on each territory for them. When the time comes, whether it is buying and selling goods or purchasing supplies, it will definitely be more convenient."
"So, Duke Miller, our half of the share is not much!" Marquis Bick was very confident, so his words were almost clear, and he didn't seem to worry about what Duke Miller would say.
"Huh? Is that so? That did take some effort!" Duke Miller was a little surprised that Piccolo's attitude today was so straightforward.
However, he didn't want anything else. His idea this time was just to let the Dolly family lose a few percent of the profits, so Duke Miller simply said directly: "But Marquis Bick, although you have also put in a lot of effort, after all,
Most things are handled by the Frank family, and the gold coins for purchasing shops and goods are also paid by the Frank family. You are still a bit high as a vassal."
"It's better than this. Your Dolly family wants a smaller share, so as not to spread this matter and let other nobles hear about it and think that your Dolly family is using its power to suppress others!"
"Do you want a smaller share?" Marquis Piccolo pondered for a moment after hearing this.
On the other hand, Natasha and Baoer looked at each other, with a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
Only after they arrived here did they realize that Duke Miller had already known about their affairs, and it was all because of Nalant's wine.
Natasha and Bauer were naturally surprised by this, and Natasha was even more moved by Narant.
Although now Duke Miller is just asking the Dolly family to take a few percent less of their profits, this is what they had already planned when they came here.
If they really want the Dolly family to completely cancel their suppression of the Frank family and continue, they feel that the success rate is not high.
Even if Duke Miller can do it, I'm afraid he won't fully agree to it for a few gold coins.
Moreover, to take a step back, even if the first two conditions were met, they successfully solved the Dolly family this time.
It is inevitable that Kali, Geely and other families will pop up in the future.
Therefore, allowing the Dolly family to have fewer layers of profits while still being the protective umbrella for the Frank family is the most perfect solution this time.
For example, if the Frank family is willing to pay both sides of the net profits to the Billy family, it will be regarded as a guardianship payment to the Dolly family.
Even if the Dolly family is more greedy, then 25% or 30% can become the final bottom line.
However, they, Frank, had a wonderful idea, but Marquis Nabic did not go as they wished.
After pondering for a moment, Marquis Bick smiled and said: "Duke Miller, originally, you have already come forward, so our Bick family must take your face into consideration, but this time the Frank family matter, I really
No concessions can be made!”
"Huh?" Duke Miller was stunned when he heard this and frowned slightly. It was obvious that Piccolo's toughness was beyond his expectation.
After all, with his reputation as a duke, even if he had to give in, it would be easy to say, but now the other party is not backing down at all.
"Your Majesty Duke, don't be angry. Originally, if it was really just a matter of our Dolly family, I would definitely give in. However, there is also the Second Prince involved, so I really can't make the decision!" Dolly met.
Le Duke frowned, then slowly added something in a low voice.
"Second Prince?" The Duke looked a little surprised.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke, now that the second prince's heir has grown up, I heard that His Highness wants to build a beautiful manor for his heir. Unfortunately, it costs a lot to build the manor, so he entrusted me to see if I can find some good ways to make money.
."
"And the eldest son of His Highness the Second Prince is also my grandson. As a grandfather, I naturally have to help, so... please make atonement, Duke!" Piccolo spoke calmly, which was why he did not hesitate to face Duke Miller.
Let's have the confidence.
Duke Miller has extraordinary power in the Nork Empire, but the only one he needs to worry about is the royal family.
Although the only person in the entire empire who can suppress him is probably His Royal Highness, if he is not stupid, then even a few princes, then Duke Miller will definitely show his respect.
In this way, even the second prince has been moved out at this moment, and Duke Miller really can't say anything more.
He didn't doubt that Dolly was lying to him, because Dolly didn't dare.
In addition, Duke Miller's intuition also believed that this was true and that it was indeed the second prince who wanted to gather funds.
However, it is difficult to say whether it is to build a manor for his children or to do other things.
"In that case, Marquis Piccolo, let's continue attending the banquet!" Duke Miller thought for a moment and prepared to end today's matter without intervening.
Although he also wants to return the favor of Nalant Wine, it is definitely not worth it to cut off the second prince's financial path because of a few bottles of wine, especially since the second prince may have other plans...
