Boom and Rikka started a new life in the iron birch forest, but the High Court thousands of kilometers away was still noisy and chaotic. The crowded streets, the complicated and disorderly carriages, and the always daunting
Twin Towers.
Today is the day of the palace dinner, a time for nobles to fight openly and secretly, and a feast for those with evil intentions. Carriages gather in front of the palace, exquisite dresses compete to appear, and precious jewelry reflects the sunset.
A long trumpet sound sounded, and the giant door engraved with a two-headed dragon slowly twisted. The Cisse cavalry did not look sideways, and the nobles entered slowly.
The dinner party officially began, and the nobles gathered together in twos and threes, sometimes showing off their formal attires, and sometimes ridiculing others.
Interests seem to have turned into invisible threads at this moment, connecting everyone together. As for the broken place in the middle, it is naturally the end point of interests.
Grand Duke Grylls did not attend today. He is very busy now. While thinking about the magical products of the Twin Towers and Parma City, he also has to worry about Natasha's safety.
Even though he always seems lazy and lazy on weekdays, how can a man who can sit on the throne of a duke be a mediocre person? What's more, he is still a existence that makes King Ogu very afraid.
However, after the death of the eldest prince Fried, Zorn's life was not as prosperous as everyone imagined. Although Yilu inherited the status of crown prince, his situation was very serious.
Zorn is an innocent and simple person who would satisfy his parents in any family. But he was born in an emperor's family, and his father is "Jackal" Grylls.
But the most fundamental reason may only be known to him. His father hated his aristocratic mother who had been dead for many years, and even more hated the two sons she gave birth to.
"See Your Highness Zorn, you are as radiant as the sun today."
"His Royal Highness Zorn's dress is really tasteful. I believe he will inherit the position of Grand Duke in the future."
"I wonder if His Highness Zorn has someone he likes. My third daughter is a good candidate."
"The arena will be open for business in a few days. I heard that Sebastian has brought in some alien warriors this time."
Compliments were endless, and as the current sole heir of Grand Duke Grylls, Zorn was sought after by all the nobles present.
In the eyes of these people, the current Grand Duke is a man who doesn't like women very much, so he has lived alone for so many years. He has neither married another wife nor supported anyone to become a new queen.
Coupled with the sudden death of the eldest prince Fried, everyone has just turned their attention to His Highness Zorn. No matter whether it is gold coins or women, as long as they can establish friendship with him, their family will definitely prosper in the future.
As a result, under this almost crazy pursuit, Zorn has become the hottest and most popular figure in the Principality of Cisse. Although his popularity has not yet caught up with Archduke Grylls, he is approaching it infinitely.
However, Zorn is very smart. He knows who his father cares about most, and he also understands his current predicament. With a sigh, Zorn immediately walked out of the crowd.
"It must be a hard life, Your Highness Zorn. It's really disgusting that you are trying so hard to become the pillar of Cisse."
A man's voice suddenly sounded, but after Zorn saw the other person's appearance clearly, he sighed again. The two of them leaned on the edge of the corridor, with several Cisse cavalry blocking a group of nobles.
"Andrea, I didn't expect you to attend the dinner today. I thought you would have died a long time ago." Zorn took a sip of wine and replied softly.
This person's name is Andrea, and he is the resident envoy of Frost Riding Castle, which is across the sea from the Principality of Cisse. Although he is not a professional, his all-round and exquisite handling style has won the trust of Frost Riding Castle. p>
This is Andrea's fifth year living in Highgarden, and also his fifth year as an envoy. As one of the few friends of Zorn, this person always speaks so straightforwardly.
"Hey hey hey, I have some bad news to tell you, do you want to hear it?" Andrea approached the other person and asked in the ear.
This news is indeed very bad, not only for Zorn, but also for Frost Riding Castle, which is in a third-party position. Therefore, although Andrea's expression remained normal, he kept lamenting in his heart.
Because this matter is not only related to Zorn's life, but also related to the future fate of the Principality of Cisse and Frost Riding Castle. Although Andrea regards the other party as a friend, his starting point is the bond between the two principalities.<
/p>
"If the person you want to talk about is Lady Natasha, I advise you to keep it to yourself." Zorn is not a fool, so he has naturally heard some rumors.
But he always chose to turn a blind eye, and he didn't dare to ask about his father. He had a strong premonition that as long as he dared to say the three words "Natasha", he would be killed by the mysterious man.
"That's it, then I'll go back first. I hope you have good health and a long life." Andrea blinked, then turned and left.
The dinner was still going on, and Zorn was still smiling and chatting with the nobles. He liked this kind of life, because the palace was his home since childhood.
He understood the meaning of the other party's words. No matter what the purpose, it was to remind himself to be more careful.
However, Zorn does not think so, because like most Sisai people, he is accustomed to treating useless people as waste, even if they include himself.
"That's it, maybe I can see my mother in the Hall of Valor in the future." Zorn thought as he said goodbye and left.
It was almost late at night, and Andrea stood by the window, watching a certain owl disappear into the night. A letter branded with fire paint burned out, and his originally relaxed expression twisted into a ball.
It was an autographed letter from Grand Duke Pablo, which contained only one line: "We will set off to return to Frost Riding Castle today. Do not provoke Natasha or give up the second prince Zorn."
The crystal wine glass shattered into pieces, and Andrea stared angrily like a wild beast. All his efforts in the past five years were in vain, and he completely lost the meaning of his existence.
Once upon a time, he was also a noble of Frost Riding Castle. Once upon a time, he fell in love with a Cisse woman. However, his wife died tragically in a battle between principalities. It was the duty of a mid-level warrior, and she married into Frost Riding Castle.
determination.
From that day on, Andrea kept begging Grand Duke Pablo, and finally got his wish and came to the High Court as a "resident ambassador". He wanted to fulfill his beloved wife's last wish and strive to reconcile the Principality of Cisse and Frostrider Castle. In the past five years, Andrea endured the cynicism of the Cisse nobles every day, and was rejected by the Grand Duke Grylls time and time again.
But the fire of hope was never extinguished. He eventually met the second prince Zorn and quickly became friends. Andrea believed in his own vision. Compared with the eldest prince who only cared about pleasure, this Zorn
His Highness En is more suitable to continue the position of Grand Duke in the future.
But none of this matters now. The eldest prince died suddenly and Natasha was rumored to be pregnant. As for Zorn, it has naturally become a very unsightly stumbling block.
"I'm finally going back to Frost Riding Castle, and I can finally reunite with you, even though I've never accomplished anything."
Andrea slowly put the photo on the bedside into the storage bag, and then closed his eyes. This was the only thing he had, the only thing he needed to take away.
