The east of the city of Brentart is known as "the land of thousands of lakes". Large and small lakes are as smooth as mirrors, like blocks of green agate, and contrast with the lush green forests around it.

Such a beautiful place is naturally occupied by the royal family and the aristocracy. The private estate of Duke James of Paphos is located on the shore of a gentle lake as if there are no waves, which makes people feel relaxed and peaceful.

A dragon-drawn horse-drawn carriage stopped slowly at the door of the manor. Fatty Arthur ignored the clumsy actions, opened the door in front of Lucien, jumped, and then made a gesture of helping Lucien.

Lucian shook his head with a smile, stepped forward, appeared directly behind Arthur, and seemed to speak to himself: "What's the point of doing this? As long as you run Holm Mining Union Bank, Minerals and Harvest Company, That was the best performance before the Queen. "

Prince Patrick's "investment" share is undoubtedly inherited by Natasha, so Lucian often teased her and invented magical items herself, saving a lot of wealth, and without worrying about the magic before being promoted to legend The material was exchanged, which was when the spirit was proud and proud, but she simply surpassed her net worth by inheriting her inheritance. It was really enviable.

Arthur turned, followed behind Lucien's side, and smiled blushingly: "I respect you Lucien from the bottom of my heart. The alchemy substance and magical items you invented have given me unimaginable wealth, and Also successfully squeezed into their core circle of Duke James, so I just acted wholeheartedly without any other purpose. You said that Her Majesty was very satisfied with the promotion and development of Minerals and Harvest Company, what about Holm Mining Union Bank? Did she say anything? "

"His Majesty is from Waurit. She doesn't know much about the banking industry that only appeared in the countries around the Storm Strait, so you don't have much comment. Please find a chance to write a report about the bank's introduction and future directions. "Lucien understands that in order to promote magical items and affect the people at the middle and lower levels of Holm and the Kingdom of Buriana in a subtle way, there are three directions that must be grasped. One is the simplification of magical items and the scale of production. Second, streamlining, second is financial support with banks as the core, and third is the grasp of public opinion.

Of course, the premise of all is based on the strength of the magic council.

"Okay," Arthur said with an eyebrow, and flesh piled up on his puffy face, squashing his eyes into a line.

At the gate of the gate were two soldiers in dark red dresses, indicating that Natasha had arrived.

I walked through them, and Lucien and Arthur were led by an attendant to the most striking garden of the entire estate.

花园 This garden is the pride of Duke James. It is claimed to be second only to the Royal Thousand Lakes Villa. It has a vast area, full of flowers, and intoxicating.

垩 In the garden, the Chuiyang is a relatively open outdoor banquet place, overlooking the lake and mountains, and surrounded by flowers and trees.

As soon as she entered the place of the banquet, Lucian's eyes noticed that Natasha was wearing a black clothing more close to hunting clothes, her purple long hair was pulled up, her silver and purple eyes were deep, and her temperament was calm. Calmly, after so many days of adaptation, finally the psychological state of the Countess Violet has become the real Queen.

Watching Natasha Lucian with appreciation and affection, her mood became very good. It seemed that the impetuousness in her heart had been calmed down for so many days. Even if she didn't do anything, she was content to look at her so quietly.

He seemed to sense Lucian's gaze as Natasha turned her head slightly, her eyes raised to meet his eyes.

There seemed to be a flash of light in the silver-purple pupils, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help rising. It seemed that she did not know that the Duke James had invited Lucian.

Alas, Natasha quickly calmed down her expression changes and continued to talk to the surrounding nobles.

She wore a pair of silk black gloves matching her dress style, and she did not take it off when she accepted the noble kiss.

Kushiro "changed" the black double-breasted long gown today. Now that the two sides have determined their minds, there is no need to worry that the same style will make the other party treat themselves as friends.

After a while, Natasha looked at Lucian, who was gradually entering, with a polite smile, "Good to see, my knight."

At this time, other nobles with weaker strength noticed the arrival of Lucien, the conversation suddenly stopped abruptly, and the eyes of the Duke of James, Duke of Russell, Arthur and other people kept scanning on both of them. Curious, and looking forward, trying to find a little trace.

Is he really a good friend, a musical partner, a knight who has been loyal? Or is there a more intimate relationship?

Lucian took off the top hat, pressed it on her chest, kneeled on one knee, holding Natasha's right hand on her left, and kissed gently on the back of her hand with silk gloves through the etiquette of the knight: "Your Majesty, your The knight never left. "

The right hand trembled slightly, seeming to remember something, and Lucian also recalled the previous picture depicting the moonlight scene, his face grinning with a smile.

I waited until Lucien released her hand and stood up, Natasha smiled, "I saw a lot of new things in Holm Kingdom. They made the kingdom full of vitality and vigor. This is your credit to Lucien.

"

Looking at the polite attitude of the two of them, listening to the normal conversation, Arthur was a little disappointed. They were just like friends, without a little cross-border, and without a small detail indicating a closer relationship. He thought that Lucy En eventually can become the queen's husband, Prince Nexel, and he has found the strongest backstage.

The Duke of James was quite disappointed, but a little bit thankful in their disappointment. They were afraid that Her Majesty really fell in love with Lucian Evans and would marry him regardless of the church division. The original intention of the others was that their hope was that Her Majesty had a close relationship with Lucien Evans, but did not reach the level of being overwhelmed. He obtained a child through him, stabilized the kingship, and then had a virtual king in name. Husband, let the church and parliament maintain the existing balance, or be more inclined to parliament.

As to whether they will maintain a private relationship, it is not something they need to consider.

I tried hard to restrain myself, Lucian really talked to Natasha like a good friend and a queen's knight, and was interrupted by her and other nobles from time to time. The whole scene was no different from a normal banquet.

Twenty minutes later, when he saw that nothing could be seen, Duke James chuckled and said, "Just now Her Majesty mentioned the novelty items in the kingdom. Just as I have here, I might as well guide Her Majesty to visit you. Mr Sean Evans personally introduced. "

"Okay," Natasha replied sharply, knowing that the Duke James had something to communicate.

As a result, four enlightened cores such as Duke James, Lucian, Camille, and another young man with silver-grey eyes gathered around Natasha and walked into the main house of the manor.

"This is Count David, a fierce royal knight." Duke James introduced to Lucian.

Balussian nodded softly: "I heard Lord Morris mention your father, he is an excellent magician."

David had a clear Huffenberg family look, a deep, rigid and handsome outline, but those silver-gray eyes made him a little cold and indifferent. He smiled, "Mr. Evans, I'm glad you treated my father I agree. "

态度 He was neither cold nor hot, as if thinking of his dead father.

Soon several people entered the main house of the manor and stepped on the staircase covered with red carpet. As a queen's knight, Lucian naturally walked in the end and "protected" Natasha with Camille.

As soon as the Duke of James and others crossed the corner of the stairs, Lucien suddenly added a slightly cold softness to his left hand.

"Natasha's hand?" Lucian turned to look at her slightly surprised, as opposed to her delighted eyes.

Natasha's right hand had no time to take off the silk gloves, and the warmth of the palm was very clear, in stark contrast to the politeness just now.

Lucien understood her mind, and her left hand could not help but hold it tighter, although there was no sexual entanglement, but the handshake under the sneaky touch gave Lucien a kind of unspeakable satisfaction. It seemed to have a touch of timelessness, as if the mood had become peaceful.

之中 With both hands clasped, Natasha glanced forward, but the corner of her mouth couldn't hide the smile.

Crossed the corner of the staircase, and both of them released their hands at the same time. They followed the Duke of James like a lonely person and walked up the stairs into the back room.

In the meticulous interior, there are trays with glasses of wine, red wine, champagne and "sky blue".

After checking each person, they each picked up a drink and looked at the Duke James, waiting for him to speak.

"Actually, I just want to ask Her Majesty what is your attitude towards the promotion of alchemy and magic items? Honestly, we have invested a lot of wealth in it." Duke James consciously grasped Natasha's tendency , Opened the door and said to the mountain.

Natasha maintained the majesty of the queen: "I have only one attitude. All magic items that are beneficial to the development of the kingdom and the people are encouraged to promote, and all evil and degrading things are completely prohibited."

"Your Majesty, you really don't look like those conservative people." Duke Russell said with a smile, "I want to invest in something now, but I can't find a place to make money. Mr. Evans doesn't know what advice you have?

"What investment?" Lucien suddenly felt like attending a business conference.

Russell took a sip of champagne and laughed: "It's a radio station, a radio station like the sound of mystery and the reality of the world, not just a few news programs and music appreciation."

He is keenly aware of the value in it, but it is difficult to figure out how to make money.

Natasha looked at Lucian curiously, and in private he seemed to have said it.

Kushiro smiled: "The main thing is that magic radio is still very expensive. Although it has been simplified, it can only be owned by civilians above the middle level. Its popularity determines the radio's profitability."

"What's a good suggestion, simplify it?" Count Haisong was also interested.

Baluchien looked at them meaningfully: "I suggest that the radio station also run a newspaper, and anyone who subscribes to a newspaper for a year, send a magic radio, so the popularity will soon come up."

"This will be a serious loss!" Count Hai Song, the finance minister, is very sensitive to this. A magic radio is much more expensive than a year's newspaper.

Lucian looked at Natasha and said, "It does lose money here, but it is a necessary price for promotion, and the income comes from advertising. I will push telephone and telegraph companies, minerals and harvest companies to give huge advertising fees ~ www. lightnovelpub.net ~ Then you will lose money? "Natasha was a little confused.

Kushiro laughed: "Advertising itself is an investment, and the effect will not come out until the magic radio is popularized. This cycle, we can't wait."

Even if it is a loss, it is worth controlling the direction of public opinion of Holm Kingdom Radio through advertising.

公 Duke James was about to speak, and suddenly his face turned black, crushing the cup in his hand: "Poisonous!"

As soon as the words came out, Lucian felt that the corrosive and horrifying toxin broke out from the body's chalk, but was immediately eliminated by the ring of Congus. However, under the poison, there was a very weird cursing power hidden. I ca n’t concentrate!

都有 Is there a problem with the wine in this secret room?

I didn't check it out!

In anxiety, Lucian looked down at Natasha, and her heart sank suddenly, because she also turned black and her hands trembled slightly.

公 Duke James screamed, "Who's poisoning?"

The cymbal sound was loud, as if to shatter the glass, to attract the attention of the nobles outside.

He is very clear that as long as he is not a legendary powerhouse, if he wants to be close to his golden knight and poison it within his consciousness, he will inevitably cause a certain degree of alertness.

Unless there is a traitor!
