Calvin stood aside with a wine glass, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he looked sven, if it weren't for the 'simplicity' of his dress, maybe some aristocratic women came to invite him to dance together.

At the end of a dance, Duke Ken, who was a little tired, stopped, took the silk handkerchief from the handmaid standing beside him, and wiped it himself.

This kind of action would be vulgar if it was placed on other people, but if it was placed on Duke Ken, in the mouths of the nobles who gathered around him and had a little flattery in their smiles, it would become 'informal'.

Duke Ken just smiled politely, noncommittal.

After wiping the sweat from his face, the Duke walked forward, and the nobles who circled around him made a way, but they also followed Duke Ken and followed him to a corner of the hall.

Many aristocratic women who were secretly paying attention to Calvin suddenly found that there was an extra group of people in front of them, and they couldn't help but be a little shocked, and after seeing the nobleman who led the crowd over, they were even more shocked in their hearts.

For the nobles of the Ogordon Empire, the more elaborate and fancy the dress, the more it reflected their identity.

Although aristocratic etiquette is not strict to the point that every pattern on the dress must have corresponding merits, it is not much different, many nobles can only make some decorations on the legs or arms, and the main body is as simple as possible, and the dress on the Duke Ken is decorated everywhere.

The more traditional the aristocracy, the more they liked this unspoken rule, because it was a way to show their identity, and a way to show that their family history was long and noble.

And if others saw Calvin's dress, they would definitely think that he was a lifelong nobleman, or a 'new nobleman'.

Therefore, before, although there were already many aristocratic women who were quite excited, they would not take action.

"Thank you, Sir George, for being able to come to my banquet. ”

Duke Ken, who was in good health, picked up a goblet from the table next to him, and the attendant, who had been waiting for a long time, gracefully added a glass of red wine to his master.

The other nobles also pretended to pick up cups or plates, but in reality they were all speculating about the young man's identity.

The corners of Calvin's mouth curled slightly, raised his glass to celebrate, and after taking a sip of red wine, he bowed slightly to Duke Ken: "Lord Duke, thank you for the invitation, and I wish you a young eternity." ”

With the same polite sip, Duke Ken couldn't help but laugh when he heard Calvin's words: "Your Excellency, I hope it is as you said - everyone, this is the famous 'Calvin George', the first minister of our empire's research and development department!

As Calvin had expected, Duke Ken turned around and introduced him to the nobles behind him, as well as to the nobles in the entire hall.

The Duke's voice was loud, not as hollowed out by wine as his son, but Duke Ken was a powerful knight.

Calvin didn't understand why Duke Ken had invited him to this banquet for his son, who was destined to be impossible to inherit the title.

A smiling gaze swept over everyone present, and Calvin could see the stunned and shocked on the faces of those people, as well as some fleeting expressions of rejection and even disgust.

Duke Ken was one of the representatives of the old aristocracy, otherwise his son would not have been placed in the Ministry of Imperial Manufacturing.

But while Boudia Ken lost the position his father had worked so hard to win for him because of his greed and stupidity, the duke also lost the trust of many of the old nobles.

They thought it was Boudia Ken who had harmed them—and in fact it was pretty much the same, if it weren't for Boudia Ken's stupidity, Calvin wouldn't have been able to weed out the old nobles in the department so easily.

Now the nobles gathered in this manor may not understand that after the appearance of the steam train, their desire to climb up by the great nobles can be saved.

In the future, in their territory, they may not be the only one!

These nobles may have been a little ignorant, but Duke Ken was not a fool, and he knew very well how the ancient empire would change after the construction of steam trains and railroads.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't have invited himself at such a time, but he did, and Calvin couldn't think of any other reason for him than to save his son.

However, although Budia Ken was the culprit who caused these incidents, in fact his crime was not serious, at most he was 'unclear about people' and 'his majesty was not strict'.

Even the most serious crime will not leave his head off his neck, but it may take about six to ten years to get out of prison, and even if he comes out now, he will no longer be able to participate in related work, and his life will be over.

So Calvin didn't understand Duke Ken's intention of inviting him here, so he could only take one step at a time and make peace with them.

After Duke Ken's introduction, the surrounding nobles reacted and greeted Calvin kindly, and the right smile and enthusiasm could easily give people the illusion that they were really friendly to themselves.

Calvin also smiled and nodded in response, and even he felt his neck ache a little.

At this time, the melodious music happened to sound, apparently arranged in advance by Duke Ken.

Calvin kept a stiff smile on his face, glanced at the duke, and saw Duke Ken clapping his hands around, "Okay, gentlemen and ladies, you must have rested enough—oh, little Vera, you're here, are you interested in dancing with your uncle?"

The host's family had already spoken, and the other nobles immediately put down their plates and wine glasses, and invited the female companions around them to dance.

The hall seemed to be lively again, and the young men found their favorite female companions and invited them to dance, and sometimes several men invited a woman to dance at the same time, and the others danced and laughed at the amusing scene.

The crystal lamps overhead shine brightly, the surrounding glass and crystal decorations are brilliant, and the hall is a happy and peaceful scene.

However, this is only on the surface, secretly I don't know what dirty things will happen, anyway, Calvin can't think of it, after all, he doesn't often attend these banquets, and naturally he doesn't know what will happen here.

Just as Calvin took a sip of red wine from his glass and watched all this coldly, a chuckle like a wind chime suddenly sounded in his ears: "You are Your Excellency Calvin George...... Right?"

Calvin turned his head nonchalantly to look, but his heart skipped a beat when he saw the comer.

The woman who appeared next to him was beautiful, her dark eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of cunning in her eyes, and she knew at a glance that she was a smart person.

However, it wasn't the woman's appearance that shocked Calvin, but her identity - she was Duke Ken's second daughter, Boudia Ken's sister!

After seeing Calvin nodding, the second daughter of Duke Ken smiled slightly, stretched out one of her hands to Calvin, and asked softly, "Mr. Calvin, can you invite me to dance a song?"

Calvin looked around, sensing the young men's gaze, and with a hook of his mouth, he lowered his glass.

"Of course, this young lady, no gentleman can resist your 'invitation'. ”

Duke Ken's second daughter smiled for a moment, but then as if nothing had happened, she put her small silk gloved hand on Calvin's hand. (https:)
