Chapter 1011: Imperial Night Feast (VII.)

Palatine shrugged her shoulders and disagreed with Corofa's concerns: "The grand crown prince will not be led by the nose by a broken family, I think Frank will take care of it, by the way, there is another person who has not been introduced, Baron Bazel, my father's aide-de-camp, from the Grand Duchy of Paulswar, who is also a little related to our family, is my cousin." ”

"I'm afraid this Monsieur Bazel is not satisfied with this kinship, and he wants to make you Baroness Bazel." Grofa noticed that Baron Bazel had been following Prince Sigmunt, and that the prince had taken the trouble to introduce the young man to the celebrities and magnates, with clear intentions.

"Bazel's mother was my father's cousin, and the two cousins almost got married, but luckily they didn't make it...... Otherwise, there would be no me. Palatine jokingly hinted at why the prince valued Bazel in particular, "I can't talk to Bazel about him, but I have to admit that this guy is a good soldier, and my father admires him and wants to raise him to be the backbone of the younger generation of the military." ”

Colossa had some knowledge of the factional circles of the upper class of the Empire, such as the Count of Muller, who belonged to the conservative politicians promoted by the Church; Frank was the leader of the reformers; Big businessmen and bankers like Fogel seem to have no factional overtones on the surface, and are bent on making money in business, but in fact they are more inclined to support the open-minded, business-oriented princelings. As for the "military faction" represented by Prince Zygmunt, the position was between the conservative and the reformist, and it was also a decisive force in the imperial political arena.

"Palatina, you are also a member of the officer faction, but you seem to have very little interaction with those young Zhuang faction officers." Grophas said suspiciously.

Palatina smiled helplessly, "I am the daughter of the Imperial Marshal, and I still have a military position, and I look like a spokesperson for the interests of the military, but I don't want to be put into a certain circle because of these appearances, in fact, I appreciate Frank's courage to reform the times, otherwise I wouldn't have come here tonight to participate in this charity dinner worthy of the name." ”

"As I thought, I hope His Excellency the Prince can understand his daughter, what kind of faction do you think I am?"

Palatina glanced at him and said lightly, "Join in the fun." ”

Corofa smiled embarrassedly, turned his head to glance at the gloomy Baron Barcel, and whispered to Palatina: "Your cousin from Paussworth has made a complaint to me again, probably to keep me away from you...... Will that guy draw his sword here and propose a duel to me? ”

"If it was in Bao Shihua, according to the barbaric atmosphere over there, Bazel would have drawn his sword a long time ago, but this is the holy city, and my father is also present, so he doesn't dare to be presumptuous."

Palatina's face remained indifferent, and she compared Bazel with Coropha. Both of them can be regarded as beautiful men, but they are completely different types. Bazel was born into a noble family of Pauschers, and in a country that prides itself on martial spirits, aristocratic young men have always put on a rude and unruly manner, and anyone who talks to them about literature and art or the knowledge of the people will be ridiculed as sissies and nerds.

Bazel was a typical martial artist, an arrogant machismo who was limited to literacy, and his conversation always revolved around showing off his violence, boasting that he had led a patrol of twelve men to sweep through the villages of the Giants on the hills, slaughtering the strong ones, and cutting off the heads of the giants, and making wine cups with gems and gold as a memento.

Palatine could barely cope with his rudeness and arrogance, but when Bazel graciously offered to give her the spoils of the massacre as a gift, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she had to respond in Bazel's way:

"Keep that wine glass for yourself, Cousin Bazel, I don't think hunting the giant of the hill is a fun pastime, I did cut off the head of the red dragon with my own hands, but I don't think it's a good idea to make the head of the prey into a wine cup or some other utensil at home, I gave the head of the evil dragon to the Pero Foundation, and now it is in the window of the 'Metropolitan Museum', through which children can realize that the world beyond the walls is more dangerous than they think."

Compared to the rude and arrogant Bazel, Colossa is clearly more connotative and more gentlemanly. Palatina knew that her brother had a far more inquisitive curiosity, and since he was a child, he was keen to read all the books he thought was valuable, and tirelessly absorbed knowledge from different realms and even the outer planes.

But the Colossa also had a fly in the ointment. This Canaanite prince has quasi-legendary strength in his early twenties, and Palatina does not dare to say that he is better than him, but he always feels that he is too bookish, and he is a noble and arrogant person who does his own thing, always seems very unsociable, and his speech is funny but lacks the passion that a man should have, plus he deliberately maintains a light and slender figure for riding a pegasus, his appearance is handsome like a girl, and his fair and delicate skin even Palatine can't help but be jealous, and when he is with him, he often has the illusion of a best friend.

Such a man would be a good brother and a good friend, but he would not be able to make Palatina passionate.

Sometimes Palatine would have fantasized like a little girl—if there was a man in the world who had the tall and mighty figure of Bazel and the handsome elegance of Colossa, the ambition of Bazel and the erudition of Corofa, the brutal enthusiasm of Bazel and the humorous maverick of Corofa...... Of course, with a noble birth and no less powerful than her, it must be her Palatine Sigmone Hansenberg's true destiny.

It's a pity that she doubts that there is such a perfect man in reality, and even if there is such a person, he may not fall in love with her. Although she is known as the first lady in the Holy City, and is known as the "Three Heroes" of the younger generation along with Glove and Frank, Palatine still has a little self-knowledge, knowing that she is not a perfect woman, for example, her overly strong personality seems to lack a little femininity, sometimes she unintentionally hurts the self-esteem of others without knowing it, and she looks down on those cowardly men who blindly put up with her, this contradictory mood has added many difficulties to her choice of mate, and it is inevitable that she will remain single.

There was a commotion at the door of the hall, and it seemed that another extraordinary person had arrived at the venue.
