The reason why chocolate is angry is probably because Jenkins forcibly bathed it again. Of course it’s not appropriate to show up with a pet on this occasion, but I didn’t even think about how to settle my cat. In the end, I can only choose to bring it, but since the cat doesn't like to wear bows or small bells, he can only take a bath, which is also considered as a preparation for attending the banquet.

　　 The cat has been angry since the afternoon, but its somber face looks even more cute and charming. The girls sitting on the carriage opposite Jenkins were all amused by the look of chocolate. Brian even wanted to reach out and touch the cat's head. Chocolate naturally would not allow anyone other than Jenkins to touch it.

　　 Before going to the Cold Spring Palace, Jenkins still needs to pick up Miss Windsor, which is also a good thing in advance. The Windsor family had their own real estate in Beldiram. It was a villa with a large garden close to the outskirts of the city. When the Duke of Windsor came to Beldiram from his own territory, he usually lived here.

Chapter 1583 Chapter 1558 Foreign Heirs

　　 After informing the servants of the Windsor house, Miss Windsor, who was dressed up like Hathaway and Britney, quickly walked out of the villa, and Jenkins got out of the car to greet her. When he turned to look at the house, he narrowed his eyes and easily saw the man standing in front of the second-floor window, looking down.

　　 Although he has not seen the photo, Jenkins is very sure that the person looking at him is the Duke of Windsor, the only duke with the right to own territory and soldiers in this era. This is the true top nobleman in the Kingdom of Fidiktelli, and his position is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to struggle for three lifetimes.

　　 After confirming that Miss Windsor had entered the carriage, Jenkins looked at the figure on the second floor and took off his hat to show respect. The Duke realized that Jenkins had noticed him, and walked away from the window. He probably nodded in response, but unfortunately the distance was too far, even Jenkins could hardly be sure whether the other party actually made this action.

　　 "Will the Duke of Windsor attend tonight's banquet?"

When 　　 returned to the carriage again, the atmosphere inside was a bit awkward. But this was also expected. Jenkins hung his black silk top hat to one side, and then picked up his cat again.

　　 "Father will attend, and he will go by himself in a while."

　　 Miss Windsor replied, without the heroic look of the hunting outfit when we met yesterday.

Hathaway and Britney still did not speak. The former tilted his head and looked out the window, as if interested in the night view of Berdyland. The latter looked at the cat on Jenkins’s lap. Squatting there, staring at Britney with wide-eyed eyes, it thought that the green eyes were indeed very beautiful.

　　 "I heard that you were attacked yesterday? Didn't you get hurt?"

　　 Jenkins asked again.

　　 "It's okay, I just met a strange person, probably a magician, who was able to conjure flames out of thin air."

　　Miss Windsor seemed to be talking about other people's funny stories, talking about the encounter with the Gear Craftsmen Club yesterday. Hathaway frowned, knowing that Miss Windsor had met the benefactor.

　　 She instinctively looked at Jenkins, thinking that this matter must have something to do with Jenkins.

　　 "Someone rescued me later, but the police who came later said that the person who saved me seemed to be related to Miss Fabry's gang."

　　 Hearing this, Hathaway's white mouth was raised, because she was wearing lipstick, and the beautiful lip lines stretched slightly under the gas lamp, making the lipstick color that Jenkins could not distinguish the color number more beautiful.

　　 "The body of the person who attacked me was finally taken away by the police. I heard that it would be handed over to the church for investigation."

　　Miss Windsor knew what Jenkins cared about, and Jenkins nodded, so that the Gear Craftsman would have no possibility to plan a conspiracy in Bel Dylan in a short time.

　　 Although Cold Spring Palace is on the outskirts of the city, all the street lights in the nearby streets have been installed. With the advent of the night, the elegant street lights from far to near are lit in turn with a slight crackling sound, quietly guiding the road for the carriage on the street.

When 　　 Jenkins and his party of four arrived, there were already many carriages parked outside the palace complex. He doesn't have many local acquaintances, so when he gets off the carriage, he doesn't bother to say hello to others.

　　 The three girls know a lot of people. To be more precise, almost everyone knows Miss Windsor. But as long as it recognizes who Jenkins is, no one will stop a group of people to say hello. The appearance of Jenkins made the atmosphere at the gate of Cold Spring Palace a bit weird. People secretly looked at him pretending to be careless, some took the initiative to greet him, and some whispered to their companions.

　　 "Let’s go straight in."

　　 He turned to his female companions and said, the ladies nodded at him shyly, and then Hathaway and Britney took the lead, standing beside him one by one.

　　Miss Windsor knew what kind of character she was tonight, and silently followed the three of them. In the end, Britney felt a little softer, slowed down and half-length behind Jenkins, pretending to inadvertently talk about jewelry and jewelry with Miss Windsor.

　　 A large number of people were invited to the banquet, so Cold Spring Palace opened the courtyard, garden and the largest palace near the door as the banquet venue.

　　 Men and women are dressed glamorously, and the specially decorated garden seems to fast forward the season to midsummer. The honoring and promotion ceremony will not start until about eight o'clock. In the hour or so before that, guests can socialize and entertain as if they were participating in a normal banquet.

　　 The ladies knew that Jenkins had something to do tonight, so after entering the courtyard with him, the three of them went together to find familiar ladies of the same age. Jenkins tidied his bow tie, and then took the cat to the steps of the red carpeted palace.

　　 The guards wearing brand-new armor at the door knew in advance that Jenkins was coming, bowed respectfully and opened the door to let him in. The gate was closed behind him, shutting off all the excitement in the courtyard and garden.

　　 "The sound insulation is really good."

　　 He thought in his mind, and then stepped up the spiral staircase from the first floor to the second floor. It's very quiet here, and every step he takes can produce shocking echoes.

　　 This building is the venue for the ceremonies of conferring the honours and promoting the title for a while. It is not open to the public now, but the servants have already arranged the ceremony site. The second floor of the ceremony hall was the reception area for foreign envoys. At this time, waiting for Jenkins on the second floor terrace were Queen Elizabeth and a pale and thin man.

　　 The man looked in his thirties, with his eyes sunken deep into his sockets, as if he was suffering from severe insomnia.

　　 Before Jenkins appeared, the two had been talking. After Jenkins walked into the terrace, the conversation did not stop, and he knew the identity of the man. He is the foreigner who has the first place to succeed King Fidcicle in the rumors.

　　Queen Isabella called him Horace Luther, and Mr. Luther’s grandmother was the princess of the Royal Middleton family, a very unwelcome princess. But this is also considered a kind of luck, because the marriage of the late Ms. Middleton was not disturbed by the family. She met Mr. Luther’s grandfather at a diplomatic reception and chose that lucky man as marriage partner.

The news of her marriage was not big news 40 years ago. Later, she gradually broke off contact with the royal family. Even when she passed away, the Middleton family did not send important people to the funeral. After all, the family was back then. There are not many other male surnames left. It wasn't until the royal family faced the problem of heir selection that they remembered the offspring of the princess who was married to another country. Without the appearance of the Williams family, from the blood relationship, Horace Luthor is indeed the most qualified person to inherit the throne .

Chapter 1584 Chapter 1559 Banquet (Part 1)

　　 Seeing that the two were still talking, Jenkins stood aside and waited. They did not hide anything because of Jenkins's appearance.

　　 Mr. Luther and Her Majesty are talking about Mr. Luther’s grandmother, the princess who has passed away. Both parties who heard the conversation didn't really want to engage in this topic, but as relatives who met for the first time, they had to engage in such a conversation.

　　 "This is Baron Jenkins Williams. I think you should have heard of this gentleman. He played a key role in exposing the Fabry scam."

　　 The old butler, Duke Douglas Gerrold, who stood by, waited until the embarrassing conversation was temporarily over, and took the initiative to introduce Jenkins to Mr. Luther. Luther probably didn't know about Williams, so when he shook hands with Jenkins, he was a little arrogant, but not hostile.

　　 He had heard of Jenkins's name, but he was limited to knowing that Jenkins was a very famous foreigner. He did not think of the reason why he came here at this time.

　　 After a simple greeting, Queen Isabella called Jenkins to sit down next to her. She is too old to stand and talk all the time, so there are sofas and coffee tables on the terrace.

　　 "Have you had dinner? I know that the food provided at the banquet is usually not full."

　　 She took Jenkins's hand and asked, Jenkins nodded shyly, saying that she and the pet cat can eat together.

　　 Mr. Luther looked at the two strangely. This way of talking was like a grandmother caring for her younger generation.

　　 "I heard that you invited three female companions at the same time. Oh, this is really bold. I never heard of this kind of thing when I was young. The young people are really amazing now."

　　 is not to criticize Jenkins. The old man said with a humorous tone, "I thought the Mihaier girl would not compromise just like her father."

　　 Mr. Luther has frowned and realized that something is wrong, and this kind of conversation shouldn’t happen between the two of them.

"I noticed last time, you have a very beautiful kitten. I also raised cats when I was young, and now most of the cats in Cold Spring Palace are descendants of that cat. You will be interested here. Yes, but none of the cats here is more beautiful than yours. You can come and see more if you have time."

　　 The old man smiled and looked at the chocolate on Jenkins's shoulder, and the cat held his head up and meowed. This kind of praise was quite useful.

　　 Luther was already looking to the old prince to one side, hoping to get answers from him, but the old prince didn't want to say anything, but looked at the conversation between the two on the sofa with some nostalgia.

　　 "Tonight's banquet, father and them..."

　　 Jenkins asked for the right opportunity. He knew what the old man in front of him wanted to do now, and he was a little pitiful while talking about it.

"Yes, I also invited Robert and your brothers, they may not be there in a while. To be honest, Jenkins, your father's face, and Bissola II and the ancestor kings are so similar, and in the three of you Of the brothers, you are the one who resembles your father the most."

　　 She said kindly, her eyes flickering in some muddy eyes, and she didn't know what she recalled.

　　 Mr. Luther stood up and looked at Jenkins suspiciously. The appearance of the two kings mentioned by the queen was constantly echoed in his head. After all the words are said here, he also understands.

　　 "Please be polite, Mr. Luther. Of course, if you want to go to the bathroom, the servant will show you the way."

　　 the old duke reminded.

"you......"

　　The pale foreign man pointed his finger at Jenkins. The two were very close, so Jenkins immediately reached out and poke his hand away:

　　 "I always hate people pointing at me."

　　 He said in a serious tone, and then reminded:

"And in terms of pedigree, you should call me uncle. Whether you treat strangers or elders, you should maintain the most basic respect. I don't know what kind of culture and etiquette the Cheslan people have, but this is where we are. The rules."

　　 I heard about the seniority from Dolores. Jenkins originally only listened to it as a joke, but I didn't expect it to be used if there was a chance.

　　 There was a smile on the corner of the old Duke’s mouth, and the servants who served beside him couldn’t help but laughed, but they didn’t make a sound.

　　 "Uncle?"

　　 Luther's voice became extremely shrill, and Jenkins thought it was because of excessive surprise.

　　 "Yes, I suddenly discovered some time ago that Bissola II, who passed away 50 years ago, actually had illegitimate children, and that illegitimate children had offspring."

　　 Queen Isabella explained that the hoarse voice expressed this ruthless fact.

　　 "Yes, that is my great grandfather."

　　 Jenkins nodded in agreement and confessed this fact himself.

　　 "Mr. Williams is three brothers, and their father is still alive. Although it is not in accordance with the tradition, but His Majesty has decided to enter the names of these four in the royal family tree. This will be officially announced in a while."

　　 said Duke Douglas Gerrold, he deliberately paused for a second to allow Mr. Luther to understand the series of messages, and then he came to the final conclusion:

"It seems that the gods are still blessing this country, and they are also blessing the Middleton family. The royal family is not without direct male descendants. Now there will be four more people. So... Mr. Luther, if it is determined purely by blood Ownership of the throne, then you are ranked fifth at most. If you are based on ability or other conditions, I think you, as a foreigner, may not have the advantage."

He only had to say the words "Fidicteli is absolutely impossible to make a foreigner like you a king". Of course Luther understood what he meant. He gasped and looked at Jenkins and then at Queen Isabella. , And then shook the head violently as the first awakening from a big dream. Without even saying hello, he stumbled towards the door of the terrace.

　　 "We are like this, are we cruel to him?"

　　 Jenkins also felt the hypocrisy of the question he asked, but both of them may touch the throne, so it is not true that they are innocent.

　　 "It's not cruel at all. Before you came, Mr. Luther's attitude was really irritating. I think he should be taught such a lesson. And..."

　　 The Duke snorted, "It's just a Southerner."

　　The residents of the Kingdom of Fedictri, discrimination against the people of the southern countries is innate...It is not uncommon to discriminate against them and despise the northerners at the same time.

　　 After Mr. Luther left, Jenkins did not stay here long and left. He came directly after he came to the banquet. It was negotiated yesterday to pave the way for his official appearance.

　　 He just walked up straight up generously, and many people have seen this scene. Combined with Horace Luther's embarrassed retreat, this can make everyone think of many things.

　　 Before leaving, Her Majesty asked Jenkins again about her female partner. She didn't care about Hathaway and Britney very much, but with a relieved smile, she asked about the affairs between Jenkins and Miss Windsor.

　　 Now, Jenkins almost guessed that Miss Windsor was forced to ask for his invitation because of the pressure.

　　 There is still some time before the award ceremony. After Jenkins returned to the courtyard, he wanted to find his own girls and spend the time wandering and talking. There are already many people in Cold Spring Palace, and it is difficult to see them at a glance, so Jenkins directly opened the real eye to capture Hathaway's aura.

　　 The queen is right. Cold Spring Palace does have a lot of pet cats. After discovering the positions of the girls, when Jenkins stepped through the courtyard, he saw at least three cats either squatting on the decorative fence or squatting in the corner.

　　 These cats are all looking at Jenkins, which makes Chocolate a little unhappy. Jenkins sensed the emotion of chocolate and said jokingly:

　　 "You're not going to chase those cats, are you?"

　　 The chasing and playfulness between the same kind is normal in itself, but Jenkins thinks that his noble cat will not make such a "vulgar" behavior.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 The cat on his shoulder shouted proudly, which made Jenkins laugh, so he didn't notice that the cats who had been watching him ran away as if they were running away.

　　 When they found Hathaway, they were talking with a group of girls who also wore beautiful dresses. This is in the garden of Cold Spring Palace. The western architectural style will not have the looming and deep beauty of the oriental courtyard. Here is a gardener who is sure to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is composed of grass walls, sculptures and precious flowers transplanted from all over the world. The flower garden is divided into small areas very symmetrically.

The girls were talking and laughing next to the fountain in the middle of the garden. Jenkins originally thought that a girl like Miss Windsor would be maverick, that is, out of gregariousness, but he didn't expect that she would also be well integrated into the conversation. When standing in a crowd, There is no difference between ordinary noble ladies.

　　 He deliberately slowed down to prevent impolite walking to the ladies. They quickly noticed the young handsome man walking along the lawn. Brian first raised her hand to signal Jenkins to come here:

　　 "Jenkins~"

　　 She yelled that most of the girls around her knew this name. Although they would certainly not know the royal Missin, just being a famous writer was enough to make Jenkins their talker.

　　 It's not appropriate to stand with a group of girls as a man, so the female companions have already discussed the arrangements for tonight. After Jenkins walked over, Brian introduced her friends to him, and then claimed to have a walk in the garden and took Jenkins out of the fountain. Hathaway and Miss Windsor remained there, chatting and laughing with their friends.

　　 It is her now, and Hathaway next, so that everyone has time alone.

　　PS: Judging from the current progress, this volume may be longer than all previous volumes, but it will not be much longer.

Chapter 1585 Chapter 1560 Uninvited Guests

　　 "I thought that Miss Windsor would be that kind of very unsocial person."

　　 Strolling on the lawn with Britney, there are no dark clouds tonight, the sky is full of stars. The night breeze in early summer is already hot in the coolness, so the shirts in men's dresses are mostly light and thin, while women will choose those skirts with good ventilation to show their elegance and beauty.

　　 "A successful noble lady must naturally have successful communication skills."

　　Bryney explained with a smile, she liked to walk alone with Jenkins this way, of course, it would be better if Jenkins didn't bring his cat.

　　 "My family will be here soon, I will introduce you to you."

　　 Jenkins said.

　　 "Is this an official meeting?"

　　 The blonde girl blushed a little.

　　 "Of course...Oh, well, I know what you mean. Yes, this is an official meeting."

　　 Jenkins nodded affirmatively, and then took Brian's hand to the depths of the garden. He liked this environment full of plants and vitality, and he knew clearly that it was the influence of the elven blood.

　　 The two of them turned around in the garden for twenty minutes before returning to the fountain position. Then Hathaway also said that he would go around casually, and left there again with Jenkins.
