The welcome feast was arranged after dusk. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

They were warmly received by the eldest son of Deegan Moya, Lord of the Dawn, in the main hall of the royal palace.

It was the first time that Joko had come into contact with such a high-profile dinner party—the entire hall was lit by candles and oil lamps as if it were daylight, and the chandeliers hung in the dome of the hall were open skylights, and the countless fires were like stars, but they did not give the slightest feeling of stuffiness.

The long white cloth tables in the shape of a terrace are lined with all kinds of glassware, the bright red wine reflects the ruby luster in the candlelight, and the hall is full of silver mirrors and gold objects, reflecting the opulence of the whole hall, which is no less luxurious than the palace of the Gray Keep.

Of course, it was the aristocratic women who walked among the men who caught Joko's attention the most.

Some of them are young and childish, some are mature and plump, whether they have their hair coiled up or scattered on their shoulders, you can see a strand of "colored satin" that is different from the original hair color, like an ornament buried in the ends of the hair. Reminiscent of Denise's appearance, it seems that this is also the popular style of the Dawn aristocracy.

In addition, most of them wear close-fitting satin, which shines brightly when they walk, perfectly bringing out the curves of their figures. And unlike the robes that were popular in the Grey Keep, most of them stopped above the knees, exposing his shoulders as if they were trying to seduce him.

Joko's heart jumped for joy, and his choice was correct.

If the women of Grey Castle still pay attention to some subtle and restrained moods, then this is an undisguised heat.

Of course, most of their popularity was directed at the handsome lads and knights, not the nobles like him, who were not good enough, but this was not difficult for Joko, who was never attracted by his looks.

"Welcome to the Kingdom of Dawn," a young, slightly pale man walked up to him in front of him, "I've read Roland Wimbledon's letter of introduction and paperwork, so he now has the whole of Grey Keep?"

There is no doubt that this person must be the host of the dinner, His Highness Ampein Moya.

Joko hurriedly stroked his chest and saluted, since he represented the royal family of the Grey Keep, there was no need to kneel on one knee. While bowing his head, he was also secretly surprised, if it was said that the banquet was presided over by the eldest son, it could be said that the king was busy with government affairs, and he couldn't get out, and even His Majesty Roland's letters were directly handed over to the eldest son to check, which was a bit too much, and at worst, it could even be regarded as a diplomatic misdemeanor.

He first answered the other party's question, and then asked stubbornly, "I don't know your father's ......."

"He's sick, he's very sick," Ampein sighed, "and that's why he can't entertain you personally." ”

"I'm sorry to hear that. ”

"It's okay...... This is already a well-known thing in Glowlight City. A month and a half ago, he suddenly fainted at a banquet, and since then he has not recovered, and can only stay awake for two or three hours a day, and the rest of the time he is asleep. ”

a month and a half ago...... It was about the same time as the day he set out from the Grey Keep King's Capital, and Joko comforted, "Your Majesty, he will get better slowly, please don't worry too much." ”

"Thank you," the prince smiled reluctantly, "enjoy the feast, and I'll have the hostess prepare a place for you to stay." ”

"Thank you for your concern," just as the other party was about to leave, Yoko suddenly remembered his business and hurriedly said, "By the way, Your Highness, I don't know about the alliance between the Dawn Kingdom and the Grey Keep before-"

"I also know something about this matter, but now my father can't handle government affairs for the time being, so let's wait for him to get better. ”

When the group left, Joko breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that he has the talent to be an ambassador, and he didn't make any mistakes in the first negotiation with the royal family's top management, but unfortunately he encountered a little accident in his first priority. But it didn't matter, anyway, he would live in the city for a long time, and Moya IV would never have been sick for several years in a row.

Take advantage of this time, or pay more attention to the beautiful women in the hall.

"We're meeting again, Mr. Ambassador," he thought, when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

Joko was startled and turned around to find that it was Denise Payton, the merchant with whom he had been having fun.

"How could you-"

"I said we'd see each other soon. She held up a glass of red wine and smiled, "Here—a toast to our reunion." ”

Joko hurriedly looked around, for fear that some nobleman was staring at him.

"Are you looking for my husband?" Denise said, raising an eyebrow, "don't worry, he's not qualified to come here." ”

"You mean ......"

"I am the master of the Peyton house, not him," said the other man bluntly, "the maid of the house is enough for his pleasure, and if he wants to taste something fresh outside, he will not be able to do so without my approval." ”

I see...... Yoko's hanging heart fell back again, it seems that Denise is the heir of the Peyton family, and the woman wants to continue the family's practice, usually recruiting some down-and-out nobles into the mansion as partners, due to the disparity in status, it is naturally the man who needs to change her name.

"You should have told me sooner," he said, pretending to be relieved, "I don't want to ruin a pair of pure love." ”

"Really?" said Denise, "when you reach out to me, you are no longer pure. She paused, "Do you have any other arrangements after dinner?"

"Well, I don't think so," Joko wrapped his arms around her slender waist, "if you invite me." ”

"Then I know there's a good place. ”

"Everything is up to you, dear. ”

After the banquet, Otto pulled the eldest prince aside in confusion, "I don't understand, Your Highness, even if His Majesty Moya is sick, you can make a covenant first, why put this matter on hold? ”

"I heard that your father told you to find Tyfeco Wimbledon instead of Roland Wimbleton?"

"Our alliance is supposed to be the King of the Grey Keep, and the news brought by the ambassador proves that His Majesty Roland is the new king of the neighboring country. ”

Ampein Moya nodded, "It's hard for you to visit the Grey Keep, but I have my own plans for the alliance, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

"Your Highness!"

"You don't understand," Ampein interrupted, "I'm thinking about the Dawn Kingdom. ”

"It is for the sake of the Kingdom that we need someone to contain the Church's attack!"

"I told you, don't worry about it anymore!"

Ampein's voice couldn't help but rise.

"I'm sorry, I was rude. ”

Seeing that the eldest prince was like this, he had no choice but to give up, and as soon as he turned around, His Royal Highness suddenly stopped him, "We are friends, right?"

"......," Otto was silent for a moment, "yes, Andrea, Belinda, Oro, and me...... It's all your friends. ”

"If something really happens to my father," Ampein said slowly, "will you support me to become king?"
