The woman who announced the start of the banquet was naturally the eldest princess Stephanie.
Among the entire French royal family, apart from the king, even the eldest princess speaks with the most weight.
This time the banquet was held in the corner of the huge palace.
Because this was a banquet hosted by Stephanie herself and not a banquet for the king, it naturally could only be held at the off-angle.
But this is already awesome.
The monarchy of France is very powerful. Although it is also a feudal separatist state, the royal family's ability to control the lords of various places is much stronger than that of other countries.
It can even be said that almost all lords have some royal blood in them.
From the small door under the tall city wall on the side of the palace, enter the place where the palace holds banquets.
A huge square was paved with large white stone slabs, and then every ten meters or so, a huge square pillar was erected, with a large white round stone supporting the top of the pillar.
They look like white, slender mushrooms of varying heights.
The architectural style of the entire square looks particularly fantasy and otherworldly, and it is quite beautiful, but it is completely different from the style of most buildings in this game world.
There were already many dignitaries standing and chatting in twos and threes inside, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed and happy.
Elford personally brought Roland and Andonara in, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Elford is an 'old acquaintance' of the Royal City of France. As a legendary mage and one of the leaders of the Magic Association, there are few people in the Royal City of France who don't know him, or rather People who don't know his name.
The situation in the Royal City of France is that there are three super powers and multiple powers.
The royal family, the Magic Association, and the Sect of Light are the three superpowers. Several other great dukes and several thousand-year-old families have formed a powerful situation.
In "How Strong", there are also groups of twos and threes who join forces, but they can barely make a fuss with Neng and Sanchao and say a few harsh words.
And most of the aristocratic forces are slightly biased towards the royal family in their hearts.
In the past, here in the royal city, the power of the royal family was slightly stronger than that of the Magic Association and the Light Cult.
But it's a bit hard to say now, after all, the Light God's Religion suddenly has a dragon knight, Shuke.
This guy's strategic deterrence is really frightening.
In any case, the royal city still maintains a fragile balance for the time being.
After all, France's power has a characteristic, that is, it cannot be defeated despite fighting.
It's okay to have small fights in normal times, but if it threatens the overall interests of the entire country, it's not allowed.
Because just over two hundred years ago, the French Empire suffered a loss.
At that time, because the royal family and the two major forces were fighting each other, the kingdom was weakened, and all the troops were concentrated in the country for internal fighting.
It gave foreigners an opportunity to take advantage of it.
A small wandering army of about 6,000 people, composed of barbarians, nomads, and a small number of green-skinned orcs, burned, killed, and looted all the way, and actually broke through the French defense line.
Then fight all the way to the royal city.
Although this force was finally wiped out within the royal city, it also caused great losses to the entire country of France.
Wherever it passed, almost no chickens or dogs were left.
Burn what can be burned, and kill what can be killed.
Both the royal family and other forces suffered heavy losses, and civilians died in large numbers, with the death toll exceeding hundreds of thousands.
Although more than two hundred years have passed, this matter has gradually been forgotten by most people.
But France is a big country after all. Although the official records are incomplete, there are still some. In particular, this matter is a top priority in the records of France.
So later the noble forces in the Kingdom of France understood one thing.
Infighting is okay, but it must be done in moderation.
When the country is weak, the family will become precarious.
So Elford obviously doesn't like the royal family very much, but for the sake of the entire country of France, he still wants to introduce talents like Roland to the country.
I even want to introduce it to the eldest princess.
I hope the eldest princess can 'tie' this boy who likes mature women and let him stay in France.
Even if this kid is on the side of the royal city, it doesn't matter. At least he can balance the dragon knights who suddenly appear in the Light Religion.
Under the gaze of many interested people, Elford brought Roland and Andonara to the main stage of the venue.
More big shots here.
Not only are the clothes more gorgeous, but the aura is also more impressive.
Most of them were middle-aged people. They gathered around a woman wearing a light blue low-cut dress, smiling very elegantly and happily.
This woman wore her hair in a lady's bun and stood among a group of men. Not to mention the typical aristocratic image of blond hair and blue eyes. She had a round face and a fair, plump and tall figure. From a distance, you could tell that she was a great beauty.
When he got closer, Roland discovered that this woman's appearance was no worse than Andonara's.
Elford came here and immediately attracted the attention of this group of people.
They moved their gaze over.
In an instant, joy, hesitation, and indifference all had their own expressions.
But soon, everyone's expressions changed to the same look, a faint smile.
The crowd parted on their own initiative, and the eldest princess Stephanie, who walked like a willow in the breeze, came out, bowed slightly in front of Elford, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, grandpa cousin."
That's right... Although Elford is a member of the Magic Association, he also has a certain degree of royal blood.
This is also an important reason why the major forces in the Royal City of France can fight without defeating them.
Everyone is more or less related.
Elford smiled and said: "I heard that you held a dinner party, so I will come over and introduce you to some friends. This is..."
Having said this, Elford suddenly noticed that the eldest princess had a strange expression.
She had been smiling, but her expression changed very quickly.
From doubt, to surprise, to confusion, and finally to slight surprise.
Everyone nearby saw the change in the expression of the eldest princess Stephanie, and everyone felt it was quite strange.
The eldest princess has been called the Smiling Princess since she was fifteen years old. She smiles most of the time, even when she is angry.
But now, her expression has changed so much.
Elford raised his eyebrows and stepped aside slightly.
The eldest princess walked a few more steps and stood directly in front of Andonara. She stared at the latter for a while and said in a nostalgic tone: "Long time no see, Queen of Hollevin."
Um
queen
Most of the people around him had this expression.
Where did the queen come from? Didn’t the current queen just return to her parents’ home
And she doesn't look like this, she's not so beautiful, she doesn't have such a good figure.
Only Elford, who knew Andonara's identity, was not surprised.
But Elford was still curious as to why the eldest princess Stephanie had such a strange expression.
Andonara looked at the other person up and down and said calmly: "I'm not very impressed with you, but you don't seem to have changed much?"
"There must be changes." Stephanie smiled, but this time her smile was real, her eyes were shining slightly, and she looked very happy. Rather than the fake smile mask used to deal with people: "It's just that you have changed more, the color of your hair has changed, and you seem to have grown taller. If your face shape and temperament hadn't changed, otherwise I wouldn't have recognized you." Come."
The eldest princess, Stephanie, is also a big shot in the royal city and is very likely to be crowned queen after the death of the old king.
Most people would be nervous when facing her, and would have to think about how to manage their expressions, their demeanor, and how to speak.
But Andonara didn't need it: "Oh, is there anything else?"
As soon as these words came out, almost everyone felt a headache.
Although Stephanie is known as the funniest princess, she is not a good person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to exert such great power.
But in reality, Andonara is really not afraid of anyone now.
The legendary great swordsman itself is already one of the ceilings of combat power. Coupled with her heroic bloodline, she can still fight even if she encounters a demon king-level monster.
If she wants to leave, no one in France will be able to keep her.
Of course, she would also find it a bit troublesome if several legendary level experts attacked at the same time.
It's just that she doesn't think that she will let a big princess persuade several legends to deal with her just because of a simple and easy word.
no need.
From a profit perspective, it is even more impossible.
"Can we talk in private?" Princess Stephanie did not get angry, but asked gently: "I also have something to ask you. In the past two years, I have been looking for opportunities to go to Hollevin again. Unfortunately, I’ve been too busy and never had the chance.”
Andonara subconsciously glanced at Roland next to her.
Roland said nothing.
He didn't know what Stephanie wanted to talk to Andonara. This was the other party's territory, and Andonara almost beat the eldest princess to tears before. What if the other party had any evil thoughts
Andonara immediately understood what Roland was thinking. She shook her head and said, "Sorry, I can't promise you."
At this time, there was a burst of exclamation from all around.
Someone actually rejected the eldest princess's invitation.
This is quite rare.
Stephanie glanced at Roland and continued: "You can come here with your male partner. In this case, you should be willing."
Andonara looked at Roland again.
At this time, the surrounding nobles all knew that this beauty who was valued by the princess was actually dominated by the young male magician next to her.
Roland still didn't nod.
The eldest princess, who had not paid attention to Roland, finally laid her eyes on him.
After glancing at Roland for a while, the eldest princess said, "Are you Andonara's new man? Did you get rid of the old King Hollevin?"
This question was a bit harsh.
It means that Roland killed someone and took his wife!
This is not only a grave sin, but also a serious moral condemnation.
Roland chuckled inwardly and said, "I heard that Princess, you are very powerful and your intelligence capabilities should be pretty good. If you investigate, wouldn't you know what's going on?"
"A small country with a population of less than 100 million, what is there to investigate?" Stephanie was still smiling, but her eyes were sharp: "I just feel strange, how can an ordinary young man like you have such a Are you qualified to obtain and protect Andonara?"
Roland thought this was extremely ridiculous: "I don't have the qualifications, do you?"
"It's true." Stephanie chuckled: "I am the eldest princess of France, the future queen. I will become the most powerful person in the human world. If I don't have it, who will?"
Roland turned to look at Andonara: "I think you should beat her and cry her again."
The surrounding nobles turned pale with fear and staggered back.
Andonara smiled sweetly and said, "Okay!"
