The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Before the Queen’s Dinner.

Darnell sent the attendants to take away the tailors, maids and other people who were dressing up for the queen at that time-to reduce their existence and send them into the palace without attracting the attention of others, a secret and concealed action.

Xia Zoe changed his clothes at the Grand Duke's Palace of Agia Yoli, and then entered the palace with Orville.

He originally planned to accept Darnell's invitation to go in with him, but after thinking about it, he thought it would be more convenient to rely on the identity of Grand Duke Orville.

Xia Zoe wore a black dress, pinched her waist and exposed her long legs.

In addition to wearing the family crest representing Desinia on his chest, he also wears the thorny rose ruby ​​breastpiece given to him by Seghalote on his chest, and the same ruby ​​ring on the index finger of his right hand.

Orville is habitually dressed in white.

It's just that this dress is more luxurious and noble. The collar and cuffs are decorated with gold and silver lines to depict elegant patterns, and a pair of black boots are worn on the feet.

Xia Zoe did not meet Orville in the past few days while staying at the Duke’s mansion.

Orville obviously has a lot to do.

Apart from going out for a long time every day, the first thing he did when he returned to the Duke’s mansion was to go to the big enclosure on the back mountain to see the beasts.

This paddock is the private domain of the Grand Duke of Orville. It occupies a large area of ​​mountain forest, and naturally there are countless wild animals living in it.

In view of the beast habits of briquettes, snow **** and egg yolks, and to avoid daily panic in the duke’s mansion and frightening the servants here-Xia Zoe accepted Orville’s friendly advice and allowed three large beasts to enter the large enclosure. Chase hunting inside.

They have adapted well and have now become the new bosses in the big paddock.

As for brown sugar, in addition to occasionally following briquettes and snowballs and egg yolks to the paddock hunting, he usually prefers to stay by Xia Zoe's side.

After all, he was still a half-size leopard, and now more cute than fierce.

Orville’s frequent behavior is to go to the paddock to see the beasts, try to touch the beasts, be a little frustrated after failure, and then continue to work hard...

However so far.

The Grand Duke of Orville only touched the small round ears of Brown Sugar once, rubbing it against his palm, and the next moment he was squinted by Brown Sugar's golden eyes to avoid him, and he frightened him with his sharp teeth.

Orville continued to work harder.

Xia Zoe said: "..."

It seems that the Grand Duke is no longer ready to conceal his... "hobby" in front of him.

Before departure, Orville suddenly grabbed Xia Zoe and tied the tie for him by himself.

His beautiful silver hair was neatly combed behind his head, with only a strand hanging from his forehead, which was placed slightly in front of his gray eyes, his face was cold but beautiful.

Orville whispered: "Unexpected things may happen to you at tonight's banquet. Are you afraid?"

Xia Zuoyi: "Maybe what will happen is beyond my expectation, but I will not be afraid."

He looked up at Orville again, and said sensitively: "You seem to have something to say to me."

Orville frowned slightly, and his faint voice crossed: "I just hope you won't be scared by what happened tonight..."

He paused and said, "If you are afraid of being at a loss, you can hide behind me. I won't hurt you."

Xia Zoe: "...Then thank you Lord Duke in advance."

The royal city of the Anas Empire is far more prosperous and lively than the original Cais royal city. This is the gap between the empire and the small country, and it also causes the difference in the living standards of the city and people.

Of course, people in the lowest class are still oppressed and exploited.

The bright moonlight appeared above the night, the stars dotted the sky, and in the distance of the royal city were thousands of brightly lit houses.

——Because the Queen’s birthday dinner is also something that the people of the empire celebrate together.

They can't get into the magnificent palace, they can only watch the carriages passing by with envious eyes, and then envy and hate the rich is really fate.

…………

Chazoe's carriage stopped behind the Grand Duke of Orville.

Udit went down first and stretched out his white gloved right hand for him to support.

The coat of arms of the Akiayoli family is a roaring lion, engraved on a carriage, which is particularly conspicuous even at night.

The status of the Grand Duke is respected, so when Grand Duke Agiayoli's carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, the others stopped to show their respect.

Their eyes stayed not only on the Grand Duke’s carriage, but also on the strange carriage that followed.

Immediately after reacting quickly, the person sitting in the wagon behind must be the Desinian lord who was picked up by the Grand Duke as soon as he arrived at the imperial port.

For a while, everyone's expressions couldn't help becoming obscured, and they looked up implicitly.

They watched the Grand Duke come down first, their faces as handsome and cold as before, and they looked a little unkind, but they turned and walked towards the carriage behind.

After waiting for a beautiful young man to come down with the hand of the housekeeper, he nodded slightly and led the opposite direction into the palace.

This is obviously the behavior of waiting for someone.

It may be fine for others to do it, but it seems extraordinarily incredible for the grand duke, who has a reputation and treats them like winter ice and snow.

They can't help but think that it seems that Grand Duke Achiayoli's attitude towards this lord is indeed extraordinary, but he doesn't know for what purpose...

Butlers and servants were forbidden to stay outside the palace, and Shazoe and Udit confessed a few words and followed Orville into the palace.

They walked with many nobles along the way.

A man is holding a woman's hand in his arms. They are dressed in decent and rigorous clothing, while women's long skirts are obviously more thoughtful.

Xia Zuoy saw that not far in front, there were women walking in twos and threes with feather fans, and no men were following them.

Xia Zoe couldn't help showing doubts on her face.

Upon seeing this, Orville whispered beside him: "Those are the mistresses of His Majesty the King."

Xia Zoe opened her mouth in surprise.

This was at the Queen’s birthday dinner, and the king’s mistress came over to attend... Isn’t it a complete provocation, the queen’s face will disappear.

"Don't the servants of the palace stop them?!"

Probably Sha Zoe's expression is a bit too exciting.

The corner of Orville's mouth evoked a slight arc, and he whispered: "They have the honor given by His Majesty the King and secretly allow them, who will stop them."

"Did you see the woman walking in the front?"

Xia Zoe looked over and nodded.

This woman was wearing the most luxurious long dress, her appearance was gorgeous, and her expression was even more arrogant. Her attitude was not to put anyone around her in her eyes, and no woman was qualified to walk with her.

There was a hint of meaning in Orville's face: "She is Tosi Cavendish's mother-Jona Ann, and also..."

Seeing that the Grand Duke suddenly stopped talking, Xia Zoe looked at it strangely: "What's the same?"

Orville: "You are still young, I wonder if I should tell you..."

Xia Zoe: "..."

He raised his chin, his beautiful caramel eyes met a pair of light gray eyes: "Not small!"

Orville approached Xia Zoe and said in an inaudible voice that only two of them could hear: "King Puri Cavendish once had an older brother named Lawrence Cavendish."

"This prince Lawrence was the heir to the imperial throne, but he later died of illness, and the throne is inherited by the current King..."

Just when Xia Zoe wondered what it had to do with it, he heard Orville continue to say--

"Jona Ann is the wife of Lawrence Cavendish."

Xia Zuoyi hummed, nodded, and then reflected the information clearly in this sentence.

He stared at Orville wide-eyed-you are right? !

Orville: Nothing is wrong.

How should a beautiful woman who has lost her husband and lost support live in the royal city of the empire?

Jonah’s family does not belong to the Anas Empire.

She is a princess from a small remote country. She is a woman who fell in love at first sight when Lawrence Cavendish went out on a trip and married when she brought it back.

Therefore, after Lawrence died unexpectedly, Jonah was helpless in the empire and had a hard life.

She finally hooked up with the current king by her beauty. On the surface, she was a noble lady, but "secretly" she was the king’s mistress.

Of course, this "secretly" refers to most members of the royal family, including the nobles, who know it well.

Xia Zuoyi puzzled: "Since her husband is dead, why doesn't she return to her country?"

"Does the Holy See care about this... nondescript relationship?"

Orville: "It's complicated."

Robert is Orville's subordinate, but he is also a nobleman, this time he followed into the palace, and walked behind them all the way.

He obviously knew this well, and he gave an explanation after hearing the words.

"Jona enjoys the extravagance and splendor of the empire, how could she want to return to that remote and backward country again, she is very vain."

"Not to mention that Jonah will not be taken seriously if she returns or does not.

"In that case, why doesn't she stay in the empire and continue to be a noble lady."

"The affair between His Majesty the King and Jonah was not exposed until two years ago. Before that, people always thought that the King valued her out of respect..."

"As for the view of the Holy See... I can only say that not long ago, the King had a conflict with the Holy See."

Robert's expression was very disdainful-for Jona, not many members of the royal family and nobles of the empire could value her.

She got the status by relying on the king.

——The circle of the empire is messy.

This was Sha Zoe's first thought. Never imagined that before the queen's dinner officially started, he would eat such a big melon, and he had a new understanding of the absurdity of the king.

The King's sitting on the throne is nothing short of a disaster.

After Shazoi followed Orville into the magnificent banquet hall, he finally saw His Majesty the King of the Anas Empire.

With his appearance in his fifties and tall stature, he can vaguely see his handsome silhouette.

Even when he was old, he didn't get much blessing, with a smile on his face, after seeing Orville walked into the hall, he turned and walked towards where they were.

All of a sudden, the people at the banquet also looked over with their faint gazes openly and secretly...
