Chapter Six(3/3)
The Duke of Auburn had a vast travel of friends. Among the guests who visited were representatives of wealthy families, senior officials of the cabinet, and members of the Elders' House, there were also foreign envoys and clergy from the church.
Of course, Earl Manfir had to say hello to other visiting guests, and as soon as he entered the dance hall, he left Ribo's side.
The two marquisses sat on the sofa aside with great worries. On the one hand, they were thinking about how to proceed next, and on the other hand, they were also monitoring each other, for fear that the other party would take the lead.
Miss Landy sat down in a corner with two other ladies, but Ribo herself couldn't get any time.
The unexpected scene at the hearing had already made him the focus of everyone's attention.
The wealth of Serthborg even gave everyone a topic of discussion, and there were many nobles who wanted to meet him, the "legendary".
There are many pretentious young people among them.
Rebow carefully dealt with their malicious greetings and tried his best to keep them in front of their female companions.
Just when Ruibo was a little tired of all this, a crisp and pleasant greeting came from behind him: "Earl Medin, long time no see."
Rebo and Eckert turned around and saw that Princess Deliz was standing behind them. Behind him was a serious and majestic servant standing on both sides of his shoulders, with golden emblems on their shoulders, probably a knight of high rank.
The aristocratic family, who was originally talking to Ruibo, saw the arrival of these big figures and immediately retreated quietly.
After all, the identity of His Royal Highness, the most powerful country on the mainland, is not something they can compare with.
If the little lord of Serth Castle can get in love with such a big man, if he acts disrespectfully, the princess will be angry and will probably not be able to take it.
Ruibo was not willing to meet this bad-minded princess.
He still couldn't let go of the scene in the Bart Forest until now.
That time can be regarded as one of the two biggest crises he has encountered in his life.
If Ted hadn't saved his life, he might have been lying in the cemetery of the Medin family.
Out of courtesy, Ruibo saluted His Highness the Princess.
"Where is your companion with great martial arts? Didn't he be invited?" asked His Royal Highness the Princess.
"Your Highness Princess, have I missed any VIP?" an old man walked over from the side and asked.
Ruibo vaguely felt that he had seen this old man, but he couldn't remember it clearly.
Ekter immediately introduced the old man's identity to Rebbo.
He is the owner of the mansion, Duke Auburn.
"Old Earl, Lord Auburn, on the day of the hearing, I speak up for your identity." Eckert reminded.
Only then did Ruibo remember the old man, and he had to repay his gratitude for it.
The old man obviously didn't take Ribo's compliment and thanks very much, and he still asked: "Who is the VIP I missed by Princess Xiya?"
"Duke, you don't need to take it to heart. What the princess is talking about is Mr. Hyde's personal bodyguard. He did not come to the capital with us." Eckert quickly explained.
I heard that it was just a bodyguard, so the old man nodded slightly and stopped asking questions.
"Just a bodyguard? I am willing to let that bodyguard serve me at any cost. Earl Medin, can you tell me?" Princess Xiya continued unyieldingly.
"Haha." The old man laughed: "You said this, but it would be too unworthy of these two adults behind you. Your Majesty sent this adult to protect your safety. What else do you need for other bodyguards?"
"Duke Auburn, you're right, but there are probably not many bodyguards in the world who can make Foster go to the disadvantage and force Sel's bodyguard with one move." Princess Shia said calmly.
The Duke of Auburn and the two knights were immediately moved. They turned their heads in horror and looked at the little lord of Serthburgh, trying to find the answer in his face.
Rebow did not intend to talk more about this matter. The less Kelle knows, the better. He quickly pulled the topic: "Your Highness, Princess, who are you talking about Sel's?"
Hearing this name, the two knights immediately showed disgust on their faces.
The old man was obviously very clear that this was an extremely sensitive topic, and he immediately interrupted Ruibo's topic.
"Your Highness, have you selected your dance partner? I really hope that you can play the role of leading the dance." The Duke said respectfully.
The Princess Derizhi looked at Ribo up and down, which immediately made Ribo feel a bad feeling.
Ruibo felt like an isolated and helpless little mouse was exposed in front of a giant python. Ruibo could even see the giant python spitting letters constantly.
"Earl Medin, are you willing to accept the invitation and be my dance partner? Here is the same height as me and is about the same age as me, and it seems that you are the only one." The princess asked.
"Your Highness Princess, my dancing skills are very poor and I can't take them out and show off my ugly face." Ruibo hurriedly shirked.
"No, it seems that the information of the hearing mentioned that you have extremely high cultivation, proficient in social etiquette in various countries, and also write that you are proficient in languages and court dances in various countries. I read that I am not wrong." The princess said immediately.
Princess Xiya touched her neck and continued, "You should at least compensate me for my losses."
This inexplicable sentence makes everyone difficult to understand.
Before anyone else could ask, the princess said, "On the day of the hearing, you caused a commotion and my necklace was lost in the chaos. It was a gift my father gave me on my birthday. You should at least make compensation for it."
As he said that, the little girl glanced at Ruibo with malicious intentions.
Hearing His Highness the Princess say this, Rebow immediately felt a headache. Eckert, who was standing beside him, felt the same. Eckert couldn't help but touch his temple. This was indeed a nerve-wracking matter.
There is no doubt that the person who stole the necklace was Brother Fa Ying, the dishonest guy.
Judging from the posture of the princess, he obviously knew who stole her necklace.
What she said was obviously a threat, a very obvious threat.
Eckert dislikes such exogenous things happening the most.
The most troublesome thing to deal with is often the most troublesome thing.
All of this was caused by the little thief.
...
The dance party finally began, and His Highness Ribo and Delizhi, stood in the middle of the dance hall, surrounding them for several circles.
Everyone's position is carefully arranged, and no mistakes are allowed.
The luxurious palace waltz sounded, and everyone danced gracefully to the beautiful melody.
It seemed as if countless beautiful flowers were blooming in an instant. The flowing long skirt of the ladies' door was bright petals, while the men were green leaves that set off the flowers.
Rebow is quite familiar with the court dance. When he was training at Mr. Hyde's manor, Eckert spent a lot of energy to teach him the skills in this area.
His Royal Highness, the princess, is an expert in dancing. She has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and court dance has long become a part of her life.
"Earl Medin, have you thought about how to compensate for my losses just now?" asked Princess Xiya.
When Ruibo saw this guy bringing up the old story again, he had a headache. He had to bite the bullet and said, "Your Highness, I will do my best to help you find that precious necklace."
"Oh? Is it possible? Mr. Label may not dare to say this unless the necklace is in your hands." The little girl said with a smile, and suddenly she had a stern face: "Your Excellency, don't make excuses and perfunctory words to me. That necklace is of vital importance to me, and you will never let your father know that I had lost the necklace he gave me. However, the Marquis de Elin told me that the same necklace can be found in Francis' jewelry store."
"I am willing to compensate you for your losses." Ruibo hurriedly interfered. He really didn't expect that His Royal Highness the princess would be so easy to speak.
"Okay, I'll have time tomorrow. Are you willing to accompany me to the jewelry store to choose the option chain?" His Royal Highness asked cunningly.
Rebow immediately felt a sense of being deceived.
This feeling was so strong that Ruibo couldn't help but look down at the princess in front of him carefully.
His Royal Highness, wearing a luxurious palace-style white silk dress, had an unparalleled noble temperament, and his expression on his face was as pure as a little angel.
But Ruibo would never be deceived by this pure appearance. When he was in the Bart Forest, this little girl pretended to be lively and cute, but led her fatal murderous intent to them.
In Ribo's opinion, this little girl is definitely a liar with the same level as Eckert.
Ruibo became even more careful. He didn't want to be a big idiot who was sold by others and still counting money on the side.
"Since the Marquis de Elyn said that she had seen the same necklace, I would like to ask her to take you to choose. No, you just need to send me the bill at the time. I will definitely satisfy you." Rebow replied.
"Your refusal makes me sad." The little girl pretended to be frowning and said, "It seems that I can only ask Mr. Rabel to help me get my necklace back. Hi, I only remember that a very young clergy was swaying around me at that time, but when I searched for the clergy again, he had disappeared without a trace. This man seemed to have stayed by your side, and you had never been stolen."
Ruibo was helpless to find that he had no choice but to threaten His Highness the princess.
"Dear Princess, when will I come to visit you tomorrow? "Ribo said. Faced with this aggressive little girl, he had to compromise.
"My brother Prince Henride wants to invite you to the tea party tomorrow morning. Will you be willing to give me a favor?" the princess asked cunningly.
Ribo felt that he was getting deeper and deeper in this vortex.
Neither Mr. Hyde nor Eckert, nor himself, wanted to get involved in the power dispute between the king and Prince Phillips, nor did he want to get involved in the entangled conflict of interest between the Kingdom of Francis and the Kingdom of Delizhi.
They have exhausted their lives by wandering between the king and the elders' house and seeking a delicate balance.
"Please tell His Highness the Prince that I will arrive on time at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning." After thinking hard, Ruibo finally made up his mind.
"Haha, I'm glad you're willing to accept the invitation. When you rode a horse past our carriage in Pete County, your figure had already attracted me deeply." His princess said in a whisper.
Seeing the cunning gaze flashing in His Royal Highness's eyes, Ruibo became more cautious.
According to the fraud knowledge taught to him by Eckert, the little girl liar in front of him began to plan the next move.
Ribo did not want to make himself the prey of His Royal Highness.
Being too close to such a dangerous woman is like dancing with a poisonous snake.
When Ribo thought of this, he felt chilling and subconsciously looked behind the princess.
