Chapter 29 Eye of the Typhoon
The news that the prince of the Franck Empire was about to come and would marry the Princess of the Lance Empire soon spread in Winlington.
This brings countless new topics to the people.
People like to discuss family matters after dinner, just like some time ago when people were hotly discussed that a Dardanelles family bought the Misty Castle. This time people began to discuss the topic of marriage between the two countries.
What is amazing is that the legendary family who bought the Mizuho Castle will also attend this welcoming banquet held by His Highness the Little Princess for Prince Franck.
So there is a kind of remark that is rising - a new noble is about to appear in Winlington.
The activities of the Dardanelles family to enter the upper class were very smooth. As a result, Hodding, as the most outstanding liar, wandered among the dignitaries, tried his best to promote the family behind him, and tried to imprint the name Dardanelles into the hearts of every nobleman.
It is a long-lasting thing to fully integrate into the upper class and gain recognition from this level, but it is not that difficult to just hope that everyone knows themselves, talks about themselves, and leaves an impression of themselves.
The invitation of the little princess was undoubtedly a very successful campaign for the Dardanelles family. In just three days, the Dardanelles family began to be welcomed by well-known people from all walks of life. Some nobles began to ask about Siser Dardanelles, some matchmakers began to come to sell girls from a certain family, and some more upper-level banquet invitations also began to increase significantly.
As for Dodge and San Marino, they have negotiated on the land matter, and they hope to take the land as soon as possible and then open an alchemy factory.
Shuiglaer has come up with some improvement technology. If these products can be produced in large quantities, they can make everyone rich.
In addition, under the care of two large businesses, the Dardanelles family bought a shop in a prime location and had the family's first stable business channel.
In fact, before this, the so-called nouveau riche family had no even a shop, and only two things support the family's confidence in Xiu Yi's alchemy and the financial support of the Weston family.
However, making money from a void is always just a temporary over-policy, and any big family needs to have enough foundation to develop.
Shuyi decided that before the alchemy factory was completed, the Dardanelles family would have at least three shops and a large workshop in Winlington, and a pastoral industry. All of these things were left to Hodding and planned to be completed within three months.
Originally, he was just planning to help Christine solve some business troubles, but with the emergence of various things, the Dardanelles family was going to settle down here and take root, which was something Xiu Yi himself did not expect at the beginning.
Although the family's development was smooth, the tests from the darkness followed one after another.
Raschel, who had been tolerating all the time, is finally about to take action.
—Three days later, at the Winlington Palace, a unique grand welcome ceremony officially began.
The prince of the Franck Empire came to the Lance Empire in person, with a total of 2,800 followers, including a guard of 1,400 people, a convoy that required 300 people to be responsible for transportation and a servant team of up to 1,700 people. The entire convoy stretched out a long dragon of 1,100 meters, which attracted tens of thousands of people to watch when entering the city.
The guards of the Franck Empire can be said to be quite gorgeous. Walking in front of the team is a tall and mighty flag bearer, wearing golden armor, and the war horse under his crotch is the most outstanding purebred gray zebra from Franck.
Behind the flag bearer, six hundred cavalry guards were wearing black armor, with prominent hideous spikes on their shoulders, holding cavalry shields in their left hand and long cavalry rifles in their right hand, extending out two horse positions. Behind them, the white cloak with the star and moon patterned with the Frank Empire logo almost fell off to the ground, and the image was majestic and majestic.
Behind the six hundred cavalry are eight hundred infantry, of which 200 sword and shield soldiers hold wide infantry shields. These infantry shields are much wider than cavalry shields, and can reach human shoulders, wide at the top and pointed at the bottom, and can form a tight shield armor array on the ground. Their armor is thick, which is a heavy infantry armor with fine magic patterns engraved on it, which is obviously specially reinforced.
Behind the sword and shield soldiers is a team of heavy spearmen and archers, and finally a team of magicians with a population of up to 100. The entire team slowly drove across the Winlington Street in the middle with a gorgeous convoy. Facing the large number of people watching, they were unmoved at all, fully demonstrating their excellent military qualities.
Behind this team is the huge transport convoy, with trucks of goods transported into the city, and there is no end at a glance.
In order to welcome Prince Franck, the Lance Empire also gave a very grand welcome scene.
The entrance to the city gate is covered with flowers, and the branches are covered with ribbons. On both sides are choirs from the church singing chants.
Two empires that had been killed and killed not long ago showed the highest etiquette at this moment, as if they had become the most inconsistent friends...
That night, the Winlington Palace held a grand dinner for Prince Richard Franck.
After the dinner, the little princess Avril invited Prince Richard to her bedroom, where His Highness prepared another welcome banquet for His Highness.
"Emeria, what do you think about this?" Walking on the way to the bedroom, Richard asked the girl beside him. This woman was the girl who had met the Dardanelles as the Et family.
Richard himself was a slender and strong young man with golden curly hair and domineering. It is said that this prince was also a great general in the Franck Empire and had commanded his team to fight many outstanding battles. Not every heir of the empire is incompetent. At least for the Franck Empire, although they lost the war, they were obviously much better than the Lance Empire in terms of heirs.
If it weren't for the promises and guarantees of the Holy Spirit Church and Richard's own insistence, perhaps the Franck Monarch would never have allowed his beloved son to step on the territory of the enemy. Although the peace agreement is about to be signed, both the Lances and the Francks still define the other party as the enemy in their hearts.
Walking on this land of enemies everywhere, you must be extra careful when speaking and doing things.
Emilia is the special envoy sent by the Francks to fight for the prince. Few people know that this pure-looking girl is a famous dark hall master in the Franck Empire, and is in charge of the most intimidating assassination power of the Franck Empire - the Blood Night Knights.
"Maybe... I want to see what kind of person my future husband is." After thinking for a while, Emilia replied.
Richard laughed: "Emeria, I'm not a person who can only listen to good words. The truth makes more sense to me. On the battlefield, if my soldiers give me the answers I need with a perfunctory attitude, he will be executed."
Emilia immediately replied: "I am not your soldier, and my responsibility for coming is not to protect you."
"Yes, the way the Blood Night Knights is always to attack, attack, and attack again. I know the purpose of your arrival, but this does not prevent you from making some small judgments about Princess Avril's behavior, doesn't it?"
After thinking for a moment, Emilia said: "I don't know what Princess Avril means, but based on the information I got, Princess Avril has someone else in her heart."
"Oh?" Prince Richard raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised or angry about it. Political marriage can make a person's life, but he cannot make people's feelings. Avril may be a beautiful country, but he may not necessarily be obsessed with it. Feelings are very strange. Before the fate comes, no one can tell who he will fall in love with. What makes him interesting is that if it is just this reason, Emilia should not be so difficult to answer, so he looked at his most capable subordinate and asked in a deep voice: "What then?"
Emilia quickly replied: "The person she likes is likely to have a direct connection with my task."
"Shuy Glair?" Richard's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp: "Have you found him?"
"Not yet, but we get the news that Souigra will come to Winlington. Maybe he is already in this city now."
Richard nodded.
For the Francks, Seoiglare was undoubtedly a lucky star. If there were no Royo incident, the Francks might still be fighting the death of Lance.
As one of the former commanders, Richard still cannot forget the bloody and tragic scenes on the battlefield. Those terrible monsters covered with sword bones, and those mechanical puppets that seem to never fall. When they are single, they do not have much power, but when thousands of them appear, even the holy realm can only retreat.
The Franck Empire once had infinite doubts about where the Lance Empire got such many resources to make a large number of puppets. Until last year, a wanted teenager committed a shocking case in Baby Leaf City that shocked the world, the name Shuiglare finally gradually appeared in front of the Francks.
They began to inquire about the news through various ways and gradually realized that this was a teenager with the ability to change the fate of a country.
"I heard that His Highness the Little Princess once went to the legendary Purgatory Island and met Shuiglare on the island. Since then, His Highness the Little Princess has become obsessed with this young man. Of course, these are just rumors in the palace. You know that many rumors are not true, but many are true. For us, it is not difficult to get news, and distinguish the truth and false is the most difficult." Emilia said to Richard.
"So what do you think is the authenticity?"
Emilia quickly said: "From the information we have mastered, the matter about Purgatory Island is basically all facts. Shueigrail has many powerful alchemy, the most valuable of which is the space, which is undoubtedly confirmed. What is being verified is his making technology in the magic puppet. The news from Royo City is that Shueigrail used at least two very strange magic puppets in that battle, and also turned a Sky Warrior into a killing machine. But the matter between Shueigra and Avril cannot be verified."
Richard thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter whether Avril likes Sullivan, what's important is whether Sullivan has that thought about Sullivan. Judging from his behavior, I think Sullivan has almost no influence on him, but this may not be necessary. An excellent man will clearly distinguish between public and private, and treat reason and feelings differently. Sullivan may be such a person. If that's the case, things will be much easier. Maybe I can get some information about him from the princess. Oh, by the way, you have been here for so long in advance, so you should have some specific goals, right?"
Emilia: "On the way to Winlington, we once met a family where there was a very interesting boy, which gave me the feeling that it looked like Shuiglare. Unfortunately, I had never seen Shuiglare before, so I couldn't be sure, but I had sent someone to check their details. The problem is that I don't have enough staff and still have limited information."
"I will send a group of people to help you complete the task. This is more important than marrying a princess. If we can obtain the alchemy in Shueigra's hands..." Richard's face became cold and deep, and he looked up at the sky: "Even if the war starts again, it's nothing great."
—When dusk comes, Sheuyi and Brian Barkler, Christine and Lilith come to the Royal Garden of Winlington.
This is where Avril holds a grand welcome ball.
The sky was filled with gorgeous ribbons, and the lights with magical flames turned the entire Royal Garden into a garden that never sleeps, illuminating beautifully.
People light bonfires in the open area in the center of the garden, set up long tables, and waiters wearing white gold-edged waiters' uniforms walked around, busy serving visitors.
Shuyi took out the invitation and handed it to the guard: "Dardanelles."
The guard looked at the post carefully, then looked at Shuyi: "Cisser Dadal?"
“That’s right.”
“Please undergo inspection.”
“No problem.”
After the inspection, the guard gave Xiuyi four masks.
"What does this mean?" Xiu Yi was slightly stunned.
"The Princess' arrangement is called a costume dance. His Highness hopes to give Prince Franck a unique welcome party. All guests wear masks and no one is allowed to take off the mask before ordering to remove the mask. She believes that this can increase the mystery of the guests and the fun of the dance party. Everyone can guess who is under the mask and test each other in words, but no one can take the initiative to tell their identity until the mask is taken off."
"So...so that's it." Xiu Yi took the mask with a calm expression.
What sent to his hand was a little demon with hideous horns.
Xiu Yi slowly put the demon mask on, turned around and said to the people behind him, "Let's go in."
At the same time, at the other side door of the palace, Rasher, the old hunting dog, was exempt from inspection and brought people directly into it. He was greeted by Padget, the commander of the princess's guard. Rasher only brought one entourage to the meeting, namely Chaklay.
Shortly after the two entered, Marquis Barrymann was also invited to the palace to attend this welcome party. Perhaps it was a need for etiquette or someone entrusted to bring his etiquette teacher Baron Harden and his family.
When Julia, who saw the palace for the first time, she sighed in surprise, "It turns out that the palace is so big!", which attracted the Baron's harsh reprimand.
