Chapter 479 It’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe
In the early spring of the city of Kislev, everything is gradually waking up in the cold. Within a few months, Pavel's power slowly developed, and gradually, the high walls of the palace could no longer prevent him from moving freely. Outside the palace, there were
More and more people came to seek refuge with this prince who seemed unreliable before.
Because they have no one they can trust. The King of the North, Rhodes, was restrained by the Shooting Army and the Griffin Army, and was unable to go south at the junction of the North and the South. In the capital, the only person who could possibly compete with the Vampire Queen was the Crown Prince - Pa
Vail.
The clock struck twelve times at midnight, and under the arrangement of guard captain Oka, Pavel and Denis put on black cloaks and escaped into the night.
Walking through the silent street, the man in black stopped in front of a three-story mansion. After the guard knocked on the door, he politely made way for Pavel to stand in the middle, and the witch Denis stood behind the prince, like a
An obedient kitten. Her clear eyes stare into the night, as if she has a natural affinity for darkness. Dennis can always see things clearly in the darkness. This makes it impossible for any assassins or dark creatures to get close to her. At a close enough distance, she will
Will be frozen by the powerful magic power of the witch. Dennis has never told Pavel about this ability, because sometimes men don’t like women around them who are too powerful...
The door was slowly pushed open, and the butler in a velvet robe walked out from behind the door. The moment he saw Pavel, the butler's face immediately showed a respectful look.
"Anyone who comes is a guest, please come in."
The housekeeper said that although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew their identities.
Entering the house, guests were already gathered here. As soon as Pavel took off his cloak, everyone immediately stood up and prepared to salute. Pavel stopped them in time.
"This is not a palace, so you don't have to be polite."
After Pavel finished speaking, he waved for everyone to sit down. Those who came to Fergus's house tonight were all Kislev nobles. Moreover, they were all like Fergus, whose status was neither high nor low, and whose wealth was not much.
At the invitation of Pavel, a group of small and medium-sized nobles gathered here on a full moon night to discuss "big things". Denise sat next to Pavel. Although she was very low-key, everyone recognized her immediately, and
, from the way the prince looked at her, everyone already understood that this witch was not simple.
"Your Highness, thank you for taking the time to attend our party. This is the first time for the Crown Prince of Kislev to sit with us little people."
A fat-faced aristocrat flattered me.
Pavel quickly raised his hand to stop his polite words, but felt very comfortable in his heart.
"No, you are not little people. On the contrary, you are the foundation of Kislev. It is you who hold up this country. Without you, Kislev will cease to exist. Some of you have grandfathers who once contributed to this country.
I have worked hard for the founding and prosperity of our country. I should thank you both emotionally and rationally for your contribution to Kislev."
Pavel answered politely.
His face was full of pride. Only Denise had been watching everyone in the room with a cold eye. She saw that almost everyone was staring at the prince. Everyone had their own plans, and the prince risked being torn apart by Catalina.
It is dangerous to go out. This party is not a simple dinner.
"His Royal Highness, as per your request, the manpower has been prepared. The people of the Black Snake Society have stated that as long as His Highness the Prince needs it, they will take action as soon as possible to deal with the police team in the area. Without the shooting army, Catalina is
We cannot control the entire city. This time, we have great hopes."
Fergus said seriously that Pavel was very satisfied with his loyalty. But soon, a trace of cunning flashed across Fergus's face.
"His Royal Highness, President of the Chamber of Commerce..."
"When this is done, the president of the Chamber of Commerce will be you, Mr. Fergus."
Pavel interrupted impatiently. The cooperation of these people is conditional. The prince is not the tsar yet. He has no army and cannot suppress his ministers. Therefore, the condition of allegiance is the benefits promised by the prince.
"Your Highness, I have prepared the weapons you asked me to prepare. At the Ice Tower Pier, twelve knights take turns guarding it. When needed, about five hundred workers can be used."
A middle-aged nobleman said in a loud voice.
"According to our previous agreement, you will have a share of the dock's future taxes."
Pavel took the trouble to promise. Although Kislev is riddled with holes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. As long as there are people in this city, there will be needs and interests. These interests will not be let go by the nobles.
. They are like a double-edged sword. While killing enemies, they also stare at the master wielding them from time to time. If this master is too weak, they can change their master at any time, even if the sword blade is pierced into the chest of the former master, it will not matter.
hesitate.
"His Royal Highness Prince……"
At the long table, nobles of all sizes competed to chat with the prince.
At this moment, an extremely cool and beautiful woman walked out from behind the door. Her skin was as pale as the moon of Manasrib in the night. However, her facial features were very delicate, and her cold temperament could not stop the crowd from admiring her.
.The woman's beautiful face and good figure made even Pavel couldn't help but take a few more glances. Similarly, Dennis, who was good at observing people's words and expressions, also discovered something fishy. However, she still didn't say anything. Dennis knew that among all the people present,
The last person who should be silent is yourself.
"We should start the dinner. His Royal Highness is also tired. Let him rest for a while. We will continue to talk about the topic we just talked about at the banquet."
The woman spoke elegantly. At this moment, Dennis realized that everyone present actually knew her.
"Prince Pavel, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Roy, the eldest daughter of Ryans..."
The woman winked at Pavel, and Pavel's heart beat for a moment and he immediately came to his senses. He found that Dennis was sitting next to him, and he indeed only loved her.
"The Lanes family? How come I've never heard of them before?"
Pavel asked with a frown.
"Oh, it's normal that you haven't heard of it. There are so many nobles in Kislev. As a prince, you naturally can't cover everything." The woman walked to Pavel, sat down charmingly, and leaned on Pavel's shoulder.
Said softly - "The Lions family is a new family. Before the Oerengrad rebellion, my father was an ordinary businessman. But the Oerengrad War allowed my family to find business opportunities and suddenly emerged as a foundation.
The emerging aristocracy of Sirif.”
As the woman spoke, her beautiful eyes stared at the witch next to the prince. Similarly, Dennis also felt that gaze, burning with unknown hostility.
