Chapter 1 Invitations
A huge map is displayed on the round table in the main hall of the palace.
Each territory on the map is clearly marked, intersecting mountains and rivers, large and small rivers, the counties to which the dukes belong, the territories of the earls... and so on are all extremely detailed.The bell in the bell tower rang three times, and the servants in the palace stepped forward as if they had heard an order, and rolled up the map on the table, and replaced it with another one, and on the top of this map, it was conspicuously written in black ink——
Kingdom of Eaton.
"Ding——" the ancient bell is still ringing, as if it is about to resound through the royal city and through every part of the Kingdom of Eaton.
Wide streets, lively yelling.Small stalls selling fruits, snacks, and groceries are neatly placed on both sides of the road. From time to time, a few people pick and choose from the stalls and bargain with the stall owners.Civilians wearing all kinds of clothes walked on the street, and sometimes a carriage passed slowly on the road.
The guards patrolling the city walked up and down the street with swords, maintaining order, and trying to arrest some people who did not obey the law and ran wildly in the street in a carriage.On the whole, the law and order in the whole city is very good.
This is just one of the twelve cities under Ward County. From the small to the big, the whole Ward County also has a good atmosphere, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment.
——Everyone knows that this situation is due to that adult.
The real master of Wardshire, the Duke of Twelve Cities, and the Prince of Wales who was proclaimed by the king—Payne Sousa.
When he was young, he was able to quickly and accurately put down the rebellion in the east, and after only five years of governing Ward County, he was able to turn decay into magic. The barren land grew food, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
——The reputation of this lord duke resounded throughout the eastern sky.
Yubai's stone steps are divided into three layers, with a total of a hundred steps, distributed on both sides of the main entrance of the manor.The large sea of tulip flowers is blown by the wind, like waves in the sea.A large stretch of lawn is spread out, and the fountain is spraying water.Or towering or chic buildings look elegant and spectacular.
This is the residence of the Lord Duke - Water Manor.
The butler, dressed in black butler attire, looks elegant and well-trained.He walked through the long corridor and knocked on the door of the study with a bronzing invitation.
"Come in." A slightly cold voice sounded.
The butler pushed the door open as he said, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the king has sent you a ball invitation." After speaking, he placed the gold-plated invitation card on the desk according to the rules, and then respectfully stood aside.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the Duke still did not respond, the butler retreated knowingly and carefully closed the door.The Duke never liked having people in the study.
The unique parquet floor paved with precious wood, golden chandelier wall lamps, and rows of oak bookcases, the study everywhere interprets what is low-key luxury.Lake blue curtains covered half of the French windows, and a slender figure stood motionless in front of the window.
Even after hearing the butler's words, Payne still stood upright, motionless.His long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the scene in the manor.From the lawn in the distance to the stone steps nearby, his expression has never changed.
Then Payne drew the curtains all the way back, and the light sumoed in.He turned back to the desk, picked up the invitation and looked at it, to the effect that the royal family will hold a ball recently and invite everyone to attend.He wasn't interested and was trying to find a reason to turn it down.
According to the usual habit, he turned to the last page of the invitation, and after browsing through the list of participants, Payne's eyes stopped on a name.
Duke of Slant.
Payne felt a little bit of interest, and he is not in a hurry to reject the invitation now.The Duke of Slant, the Duke known as the Duke of the West.He has always only heard his name, but not his person.It is said that he has remained in his domain since he inherited the duke from his father, not going to balls to socialize.Changed your mind now?Rubbing the invitation card with his fingers, and having made a decision in his mind, Payne put the invitation card aside, picked up the quill pen and continued to correct a stack of documents on the table.
The light framed him, haloing his black hair.His eyes were obviously neither sad nor happy, and Payne's handsome face was expressionless. With his peacock blue and black half-and-half clothes, against the strange light, he looked both arrogant and indifferent.
…………
After Payne finished grading the documents, he left the study and went to the restaurant.It was already meal time, and the shadow left by the noon sun on the sundial outside the manor fell steadily to the north.
The butler followed him half a step after he left the study, and Payne ordered: "Prepare according to the date on the invitation." After a ceremony, he left.
The Kingdom of Eaton can be roughly divided into three parts: west, middle and east.The central part is the royal city, the eastern part is where the Duke of Payne is located, and the most powerful duke in the western part is the Duke of Slant.
Slant's family is a veteran aristocrat of the Kingdom of Eaton. Since the last king, they have been holding a large army and their titles have been hereditary. For so many years, they have lived in peace.
And the invitation card with hot rose gold patterns was also on the way to the castle of the Duke of Slant with the messenger's carriage.
