"Your Highness, the distinguished guests are inside."
"Well, you didn't interrupt rashly, did you?"
"No."
"Okay, you guys go down first."
"yes."
After the guards left, Prince William straightened his collar and knocked on the door.
"Boom boom boom."
The door opened, and Prince William immediately showed an elegant and slightly obsequious smile.
But before he could introduce himself, Anna beckoned, "Come in."
Prince William immediately understood that his men might have already been discovered by the other party, so he hurried into the house.
"Dear Earl Evan, Miss Anna, please forgive my presumptuous visit..."
Earl Evan didn't get up, he just pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit."
Prince William quickly sat over, like a good student facing the teacher.
Then, he put the champagne he brought on the table: "My lord, this is a fine wine from the Merdewing family winery, I hope it suits your taste."
Earl Evan's eyes lit up, and then he showed a smile: "Is the wine good, you have to taste it to know! Come, come, let's taste it together."
As he said that, he immediately went to get the wine glass.
Prince William quickly opened the bottle and poured three glasses.
Earl Evan picked up the goblet, shook it gracefully a few times, then put it under his nose and took a sip, his face immediately showed enjoyment.
Admired: "It's really good wine!"
Prince William said, "It's our honor to make the Earl like it!"
Earl Evan smiled, took a sip, and savored it carefully.
The room fell silent for a while.
Prince William didn't dare to disturb Earl Evan's wine tasting, while Anna on the other side had already finished a glass quickly and was looking at the half-elf prince curiously.
Just when Prince William was fidgeting under Anna's scrutiny, Earl Evan seemed to have finally tasted it, and said with a smile:
"Prince William, what's the matter with you this time?"
Prince William slandered in his heart—shouldn’t you be the ones who came to us? Why do you still ask me what's the matter...
But he only dared to think about it, and he definitely didn't dare to say it.
"It's like this. My guards found that two distinguished guests came from afar, so as the owner of Silvermoon City, I should treat them well."
"Oh? Just to entertain us?" Earl Evan smiled playfully, "I thought you came here to marry a daughter in the north?"
Prince William was suffocated for a moment, and his face flushed red because of Earl Evan's unconventional way of speaking.
Seeing Prince William's performance, Earl Evan knew that this guy was really an honest man, so he stopped teasing him and said seriously:
"Prince William, Prince Tupe's proposal to marry Miss Vera was not arranged by your father, right?"
"Of course not! That's all Tupe's youthful vigor and self-assertion." Prince William quickly explained, "I hope you can understand, and don't blame the Mordiveh family for this! But... the matter has come to this point, and it is difficult for my father to do it directly. If you refuse this marriage, I'm afraid you will offend Duke St. Hilde."
"But this incident made my father very angry!" Earl Evan shook his head.
Prince William suddenly said anxiously: "I would like to ask the Earl to explain it to us in front of the Duke of St. Pros..."
"I'm also very angry!" Earl Evan said pretendingly, "Didn't your Murdivyn family always advertise neutrality? Why did you dare to marry the northern border this time? Or the daughter of a duke
Squeeze the chips in your hand? Hehe, you are betting directly! "
"I... I..." Prince William was speechless for a moment.
"You probably don't want to see your younger brother marrying Vera, so you can get the support of the Duke of the North, right?"
"When... Of course I don't want to." Prince William said honestly.
"I have a way, maybe I can help you destroy this marriage."
Prince William's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Please tell me!"
"It's certainly inappropriate to directly reject this marriage, but if Miss Vera's reputation is tainted, then your Murdevyn family will naturally have a suitable excuse to cancel this wedding in order to protect the face of the half-elf royal family."
"Is the name dirty?"
"Yes." Earl Evan poured himself another glass of champagne and said while shaking, "Have you understood the chaos before the northern border?"
"Learned some..."
"Then you should know that the Black Cavalry Army played a decisive role in it. However, judging from the results of the subsequent rewards, there is a person outside the Black Cavalry Army system who has made a lot of profits!"
Prince William immediately thought of someone: "You mean, the emissary to see off the relatives in the north this time - Viscount Angelet?"
"That's right!
Aren't you curious? How could this former baron's son suddenly be appreciated by the Duke of St. Hilde? Not only was he promoted to a viscount, but the entrusted territory was much larger than that of an ordinary viscount.
Moreover, it is said that the Duke of St. Hilde even rewarded him with the [Blade of Judgment]! "
Prince William nodded again and again: "It's really strange!"
Earl Evan put down his wine glass and said in a mysterious tone: "As far as I know, this Viscount Angelet once met Vera who returned from the East during the rebellion, and the two fled together all the way. close."
"That's right!" Prince William also thought of something, and quickly added, "At the banquet at Lion's Roar Castle, Viscount Angelet also asked the Duke of the North to marry Miss Vera, but the Duke finally chose to marry Vera. To Tupe."
Earl Evan snapped his fingers, and said firmly: "So, I'm sure that this Viscount Angelet is Vera's beloved, so he was appreciated by the Duke. It's just that something happened later, the Duke I temporarily changed my mind and married Vera to the half-elf kingdom."
"Then you mean..."
"Isn't this kind of beautiful and regrettable love story just what people like? You just need to send someone to edit the past of Viscount Angelet and Miss Vera, fill in some thought-provoking fragments, and then let the chanting The bards sang in Silvermoon City..."
"Wonderful!" Prince William nodded again and again, as if he had got some ingenious tricks, and kept thanking him.
Anna frowned as she listened to it, she didn't expect her brother to give such a bad idea.
And this Prince William didn't know if he was really stupid, but he still thought it was a good idea.
It seemed that Earl Evan couldn't stand Prince William's brainless flattery, and sent him away without saying a few words.
After closing the door, Anna turned her head and looked at her brother with disdain: "This is your trick? It's really a bit..."
"Low work? Vulgar? Or do you think it's all futile?" Earl Evan didn't care about his sister's gaze, and poured himself another glass of wine, savoring it carefully.
Anna curled her lips and asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that the Duke of St. Hilde has a way to win? Even if your strategy really prevents Vera from marrying into the half-elf royal family, what's the use?"
Earl Evan spread his hands: "I have to do something, otherwise I won't be able to do business after I go back.
By the way, let's test the level of our allies and opponents.
The level of the opponent is not yet known, but the allies... Hey, it seems that they are really stupid.
I am now even more convinced that the Northern Territory will win this time. "
"So you gave Prince William that kind of bad idea just to make a deal with his father?"
"Otherwise?" Earl Evan shrugged, "The Duke of St. Hilde wants to kill his daughter, is there any way we can stop it
Maybe that Viscount Angelet was the one sent by the Duke of the North to carry out this mission.
Hey, that's interesting!
If the love, hatred, and hatred in this can be made into a story, it will definitely be sung throughout the entire continent! "
Anna's eyes widened: "Then Viscount Angelet is really willing to kill his beloved?"
"Why not? If I were him, I would faithfully carry out the Duke's orders, and maybe I would be promoted to Earl after returning, haha."
"Brother!" Anna snatched the wine glass from Earl Evan's hand and reprimanded, "You can't always speculate on everyone with this dark psychology!"
Earl Evan shook his head helplessly, and sighed:
"Silly sister, this world is much darker than you imagined..."
