The King of Knights in a Different World
Chapter 69
After that, it was a lot quieter.
However, Lucifer became more and more curious about Maria's identity, not the superficial count, but another identity.
no.123 Prom
The Winter Palace, the most dazzling palace in the Royal City of Rose.
At this moment, the hall is full of dazzling arrays, countless delicacies are placed on the long table in the center, and the court band on the front desk is playing beautiful music.
Between the movement of the crowd, it is full of warmth.
Under Lei Di's order, all counts and nobles above counts in the country came here.
Together they look forward to this wonderful marriage.
Even the leaders of the two knights who were currently on the front line sent blessings.
They couldn't come because they had to defend the front line at any time, but they all sent their men.
As the fighting faction, Dilumudo and Kuchurin, the son of light, also rarely put away their fighting faces, and turned to appear as nobles.
One of the protagonists of the banquet, Lucifer is already dealing with the surrounding nobles at will.
By his side, Tristan and Agruven were guarding the surroundings while participating in the banquet as nobles.
Compared to the nobles here, Lucifer is more concerned about the two gunmen in the corner and the demon monk Rath who appeared in the previous intelligence.
I don't know why, Lucifer always has a feeling of wanting to laugh when watching Cuchurin talk and laugh with Yanfeng Qili.
Since they didn't take the initiative to contact them, Lucifer didn't take the initiative to contact them.
Currently, Rose's heroine has not yet appeared, and Lucifer is not in a hurry.
Rather, since the Lei Di had already indicated the theme of this meeting at the beginning, it doesn't matter whether Anastasias appeared or not.
The prom was still going on, but Lucifer felt a little boring.
At this time, a mature woman came to Lucifer.
"Gui'an, Your Majesty the Knight King."
The woman with long off-white hair pulled up her skirt and leaned slightly.
"you are"
Lucifer already knew the name of this...woman, but still asked calmly on the surface.
"Ekaterina, the wife of Peter, the ninth son of the Lei Di, greets you."
"So the lady is... Ekaterina, you are more beautiful than the rumors."
Lucifer said... words of praise for beautiful women.
These words can be regarded as one of the general rhetoric for this kind of banquet.
To be honest, I still learned from those in the round table...Playboy.
Compared to Gawain and Lancelot, Lucifer felt that his level was completely entry-level.
"I am honored that His Royal Highness the Knight King actually heard my name."
Ekaterina got up with curiosity in her eyes.
For this, Lucifer directly lost the credit to Maria.
"Because another lady who impressed me mentioned you to me."
"is it.
Then I am very grateful to that lady. I don’t know if I have the honour to dance with you."
Ekaterina took a step forward, she raised her arm, handed the palm of her white silk glove in the air, waiting for Lucifer to accept it.
"It's as beautiful as a lady, and not many people will have the heart to refuse the request."
"Really, I look forward to you who are not one of the few."
"In essence, I am just a very ordinary but ordinary person."
With that, Lucifer took Ekaterina's hand.
They walked to the dance floor together.
This is already a Lucifer dance, and there were three eldest ladies from the duke's family in the previous three branches.
On the dance floor, a pair of men and women formed together, enjoying this wonderful moment.
Lucifer's addition did not disrupt them, nor did it attract much attention.
Ekarina's height is unexpectedly good, only a little shorter than Lucifer, and they seem to cooperate unexpectedly.
"His Majesty the Knight’s dance steps are unexpectedly familiar. I didn’t expect you to be so familiar with Rose’s court dances."
While dancing, Ekaterina said with a smile.
"It may be thanks to someone.
When I first became king, someone pointed out that I didn't understand etiquette. For this reason, I practiced it for a long time.
As Wang considers that he may travel to various countries in the future, he naturally needs to understand the mainstream culture of each country."
Lucifer, in a white dress, also responded calmly.
"His Majesty the Knight King is so funny, it's just who is so bold"
"Bismarck."
"Bismarck! Could it be..."
Hearing this name, Ekaterina slipped and almost fell.
Lucifer immediately changed her dance steps and held her.
In this way, the prince and concubine did not make a fool of themselves in public.
Pulling her back in front of her eyes, Lucifer continued.
"Yes, it's... among the husbands, the iron-blooded prime minister of France."
For a while, the rhythm of the dance steps between them began to become faster.
"In my impression, the number of times you meet is only one.
It seems that there was only one meeting, did Bismarck dare to say these things to you in that... time?"
"Maybe this is why he is called the iron-blooded prime minister.
Secretly tell Madam you a little secret, because of his words, France has paid fifty thousand gold coins for this."
"..."
In this regard, Ekaterina was a little speechless.
In one sentence, 50,000 gold coins were used, what an expensive price.
However, through a little test between words, Ekaterina somewhat understood something that Lucifer revealed.
"It's really expensive rhetoric, but I don't know if His Majesty the Knight King came to Rose this time with the same idea."
"how come.
In any case, I will soon marry Princess Anna as the queen, in a sense, we are about to become a family.
Besides, Madam is so beautiful, even if I occasionally fail to say something, I would laugh it off as a joke."
"A family?
His Majesty the Knight King has a broad mind.
However, even a family with a blood source cannot get along normally in front of the royal power, let alone a different person without a blood source."
"Blood source, surname, country, belief..., these...never are the fundamental reasons that determine where the sword in people's hands will be swung."
"Oh! Your Majesty thought, what determines the sword?"
"will.
But more often it is also greedy."
Lucifer gave his answer.
Having said this, Lucifer said softly in her ear.
"So, madam, you have to be careful."
"What do I need to be careful about"
"Show yourself actively and let people see their ambitions.
It may give people a chance to get close, but at the same time it will also make people see your greed.
Although many people are like beasts in their hearts, most of the time they will not admit that they are beasts and will subconsciously hate them.
Ambition, because it makes them think of their pathetic self."
Lucifer said calmly, and at this moment, the Ekaterina shining in his eyes was a flame named ambition.
Yes, it's like the former Pope Sullivan.
It just doesn't matter...
From any point of view, Ekaterina in front of her can't be compared with Salivan.
"What does your Majesty the Knight King mean?"
Ekaterina put away her gentle smile, her eyes turned sharp.
"Your approach is very good, but be careful to stand up enemies.
A person cannot face a group of beasts alone, maybe you should learn to find an ally for yourself instead of coming alone."
When Lucifer finished speaking, the tune just came to an end.
They stopped their steps at the same time.
no.124 You also want to treason
After the song ended, Lucifer let go of...Ekaterina's hand and returned to his position.
As the music started again, the people enjoying the dance on the dance floor started again.
At this time, Lucifer once again walked by a thin middle-aged man with a horoscope.
His black clothes are the opposite of the color on Lucifer.
"Hey! Your Majesty the Knight King, I don’t know how Ross’s banquet compares to yours in Britain."
The man spoke with a special tone, which sounded a little funny.
"Don't have any flavor.
From the very beginning, I can deeply feel the passion of the Rose woman.
Don’t you formally introduce yourself?"
"Below is Duke Bezukhov, who has seen His Majesty the Knight.
I have just been waiting for an opportunity to talk to His Majesty the Knight King, but as you said, Rose's woman is too enthusiastic, and I only come here when there is no one.
Please laugh."
"Prince Bezukhov, well, I remember that the first beautiful lady who just danced with me was also the last name."
Lucifer thought about it carefully, and remembered one of the temporary dance partners just now.
"That's the little girl, thanks to His Majesty the Knight King.
The little girl has always admired His Majesty the Knight King.
If you don’t mind, let the little girl spend time with you tonight."
Bezukhov immediately slapped a snake on a stick and made this proposal.
In this regard, Lucifer said that this product is a bit over-enthusiastic.
