Grofer snorted, turned his head and muttered, "Let me see what is delicious here." ”

Palatina smiled understandingly, "Come with me, the buffet is over there, Mr. Fogel has always been generous, you can enjoy the best caviar tonight, and some Pomeranian crystal wine, which is not found in the Canaanite desert." ”

"You know, Palatina, that's why I've come all the way to the dinner!" Colossa rubbed his hands together, not minding being seen as an undignified gluttonous character.

Palatina smiled silently. When she was young and rebellious, she admired her cousin's dashing style and tried to imitate him in his own way, but when a woman reaches the age of twenty, she will naturally understand some truths that can only be understood but not spoken—the reason why Colossa despises banquet etiquette and is considered a maverick chic style is not that this behavior itself is really chic, but because he is a prince of Canaan, a noble and high-class person, even if he farts in public, people will tout it as bohemian performance art, and try to do it with a waiter who runs the hall?

Regardless of the name of the banquet, eating and drinking are excuses, and at the end of the day, people come here to socialize, maintain relationships, and expand their network. On this occasion of celebrity gathering, it was not easy for Corophaa Zion to enjoy a quiet meal, and from time to time someone came up to pay homage to His Royal Highness, and Colossa absentmindedly coped with two sentences.

Palatina was also socializing, occasionally glancing back at Corofa, sympathetic and amused at his "awkward chat" while eating.

Palatina and Grofa were both friends and relatives. Her aunt was married to Zion VIII, Marquis of Canaan, but unfortunately she died when she was two years old. The Marquis was away on a war at the time, and considering that the young Grofa lacked care, he was sent to his deceased wife's maiden home for foster care, and Palatina became his playmate, and his cousin and sister were childhood sweethearts. Two years later, the marquis married a noblewoman in the desert and had a son and a girl, and the eldest son, Grophas, remained in the holy city until ten years ago, when he returned to Canaan and was established as crown prince.

Palatina has read all kinds of stories of cruel stepmothers abusing her stepson in fairy tale books since she was a child, and she can't help but feel worried about the situation of Grofa, especially considering his maverick personality, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get along with his stepmother's family, and it is still unknown whether he will be able to keep the inheritance in the future.

"Glofa, how is the family doing, how are you getting along with your younger siblings?" Palatina couldn't help but ask.

"It's not bad," Grofa said casually, swallowing a large piece of blue cheese, "The situation in my family is complicated, my stepmother Judy is from the Desert Psionic Royalty, she is the contemporary witch queen of the Rosenthal family, she is generally a respectable lady, I have a good relationship with her, my stepmother gave birth to a son and a daughter for my father, Raymond is four years younger than me, he is an amazing psionic genius, he was promoted to level 14 'Heart Transmitter' at the age of nineteen, as for the relationship between our brothers...... Probably because of the incompatibility of personalities, we were not intimate when we were together, Judy's youngest daughter Audrey was very close to me, even closer than her own brother, I guess Raymond was a little jealous. ”

"And Holden, how is that little naughty, has he been abused by the Marquise?" Palatina asked in a low voice.

Grophas's face changed, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Holden is okay too...... Still so naughty, the red bronze dragon bloodline has too much influence on his character, I don't think he can learn to be steady and well-behaved in his life, in fact, it's okay, at least he doesn't get tired of living, right? Judy hates Holden's mother, and even can't get used to the child, Raymond tries to discipline Holden, but he can't get the point, Holden is also very unconvinced of him, and often pranks and messes up his ability laboratory, Raymond is so angry that he inevitably catches the little naughty knot and beats him firmly, but fortunately, Audrey is very good to Holden, she is a good sister, and she relies on her to take care of Holden when I am not at home. ”

"Your family is really messy." Palatina lifted her forehead and sighed, "I heard that the men in the desert are proud of polygamy, and Lady Judy is from the desert, why can't she look away from it?" Of course, the marquis was also at fault, it was one thing to keep a lover outside, and quite another to bring an illegitimate child home. ”

Grofa dropped the silver knife, burped as if no one was around, and rinsed his mouth with a glass of champagne, "Palatina, stop talking about these boring things, now I just hope that the dinner will end soon, and that I will hurry home and get down to business." ”

"Have a date?"

"That's not wrong, but it's a pity that the beautiful woman in my family is a little younger, and her temper is very big." Glofa handed Palatine a glass of amber champagne, "No kidding, I'm actually in a hurry to go back to Audrey's ceremony to summon Pegasus for the first time, and the girl was worried about messing up, and asked me to be there to help her embolden." ”

"How old is Audrey, twelve?" Palatina raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Becoming a fifth-order 'Blue Sky Knight' at such a young age has caught up with the record you set at the beginning!" ”

"Just turned thirteen," Grofa smiled with pride, "considering that Audrey is a girl and began her professional training as a Blue Sky Knight later than me, she is actually progressing faster than me. ”

"Blue Sky Knight" is a unique transcendent inheritance of Canaan, very similar to a paladin in all aspects, and when promoted to the fifth rank, he can summon magic mounts from the heavenly realm like a holy warrior, and the special thing is that the blue sky knight can summon a celestial horse in addition to the celestial horse that the general paladin can summon, and its magic list includes spells such as "featherfall" and "flying technique" that paladins do not have, and are more suitable for aerial combat.

"I haven't met Audrey yet, but I'd like to get to know this genius girl if I have the chance." Palatina said with a smile.

"You should indeed know that Audrey admires you very much, she idolizes you and dreams of becoming the 'knight princess' of Canaan."

Palatina held up her goblet, "Cheers to your dreams, Audrey will be able to get her wish." ”

"I want to thank you for her," said Corofa, taking a sip of his wine, "and one more thing, Rubin went to the Fort of Atonement yesterday on my father's orders, and it was a secret visit, and if all goes well, he would be able to return before dawn, and I was curious to know how he was talking to Koras, and my father was worried about the attitude of the new regime in the Far East towards us in Canaan, and when Rubin returned, we would have a meeting to discuss countermeasures, and I would have to attend." ”
