Chapter 381: Planning to take advantage of Audrey?

Chapter 381: Planning to take advantage of Audrey?

The dinner was held in a garden in the palace. Hastur followed Count Hall to greet the nobles who came to attend the dinner. Count Hall introduced their respective origins to Hastur.

This also gave Hastur a better understanding of the upper-class nobles of the Loen Kingdom.

Some nobles who are about the same age as Earl Hall always casually ask about Hastur's marriage status during casual conversations.

Some nobles even wanted to betroth their daughters to Hastur on the spot.

In this regard, Earl Hall had a sullen face throughout the whole process, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Hasta could only refuse their hospitality by saying that he was still young and wanted to start a career first and then start a family.

"Your father was already famous when he was your age."

Georgina Augustus, wearing a burgundy evening dress, came from a short distance away and looked at Hastur with burning eyes.

As for Duke Georgina, Hastur had met her once before, and it seemed that she had an unclear relationship with his father.

"Future generations should learn from those who came before, so that they are less likely to make mistakes." Hastur responded calmly.

"You have nothing like his personality, so I'm a little interested in you."

Georgina Augustus lightly lifted her hair that fell to her ears, held the wine glass closer, and breathed out the seductive aroma from her red lips.

Hastur moved a small step towards Earl Hall without leaving a trace, also raised his glass and said with a smile: "This is my honor."

"You don't seem to be very good at talking about love, nor are you very good at socializing. In this regard, your father is much better than you." Georgina Augustus said, looking at Earl Hall again, and said meaningfully : "A treasure without an owner, but everyone wants it."

"I don't like to interfere in things between young people. This is their own problem. As elders, we only need to watch them grow and occasionally provide them with a little help." Earl Hall emphasized the word elder. .

"I don't think I'm old."

After speaking with a smile, Georgina Augustus left here and went to chat with other nobles.

"The most important thing in interpersonal interactions is to keep your eyes open so as not to be fooled by people's appearance." Earl Hall said pointedly.

Next, Earl Hall also went to reminisce with the nobles he was familiar with.

Hastur silently tasted the delicacies at tonight's dinner and looked at the luxurious life of this drunken and lantern-obsessed man. In his heart, he no longer yearned for the path of the Black Emperor.

The further this path goes, the more inseparable it becomes from this entertainment.

Instead of wasting time on these uninteresting things, choose extraordinary avenues where you can walk around and see something.

Speaking of which, he has been in the mysterious world for so long and has never been abroad.

He has been wandering around the territory of the Kingdom of Loen. If he goes back this time, he can visit other countries.

The Republic of Intis is a good choice.

Bernadette also seems to be interested in returning to her hometown. The only thing that needs to be noted is that the followers of the Super Star Lord and the Mother Tree of Desire are also there.

If you go to the Republic of Intis, you may increase the risk of exposing your true identity.

Hastur was tasting the food while thinking about the next arrangements.

It wasn't until Govington II appeared that he put down the tableware in his hands and went to where everyone gathered.

The great prince of the past, today's Govington II, is surrounded by stars and the moon in the center position.

Just by changing his identity, he already has a bit of the old-fashioned and serious look of George III.

He looked unsmiling, and only nodded slightly to the flattery of the nobles, without much expression of happiness or joy.

Tsk, this level is not enough.

On the surface, he looks old-fashioned, serious and unsmiling, which seems to be more dignified, but in fact it is a forced performance, so he does not dare to show his mood at will.

If George III attended such a dinner, he would definitely have a cheerful smile on his face and greet every nobleman naturally.

He does not need to deliberately control his mood. What needs to be disguised are those nobles who want to flatter themselves, but are concerned about their appearance and are afraid of being ugly.

As a king, he is the center, and the world around him is an extension of his will.

Hastur mentally commented on Govington II. Although he helped strangle George III to death, he could not deny that George III was a pretty good king.

"The new king is not much older than you, and he likes to promote young people. This is your chance." Earl Hall said in a low voice next to Hastur.

Hastur nodded and said: "Thank you Earl Hall for the reminder. I will try my best to leave a good impression in front of the new king."

Earl Hall said nothing more, but looked through the crowd at Govington II who was surrounded in the center.

The new king was ambitious and wanted to expand his territory and become a greater king than George III.

Now, the conquest of the Fosak Empire is an excellent opportunity.

Govington II chatted with the surrounding nobles for a long time before his eyes fell on Earl Hall, "Earl Hall, isn't Miss Audrey here tonight?"

Earl Hall had a straight face and replied seriously: "She had a stomachache this afternoon and really couldn't come to tonight's dinner. She feels sorry for that."

"??"

A string of questions arose in Hastur's mind. Isn't tonight's dinner for discussing political affairs?

Even the noble ladies were not included in the invitation list, so how could Audrey be specially invited to attend?

Govington II smiled and said, "Since Miss Audrey is not feeling well, let me ask the doctors in the palace to go and see her. Their medical skills are pretty good."

"Thank you for your kindness." Earl Hall bowed slightly.

Govington II looked past Earl Hall and looked at Hasta, smiling and said, "Earl Campbell, my second brother who will go to Southwell County to take office will need your care."

"This is my duty and honor." Hasta responded naturally, thinking about the second prince's intention to stop him last night.

It turned out that he was the candidate sent to Southwell County to succeed the Grand Duke of Southwell.

It seems that the Loen royal family should know that Drink Augustus has died.

That's why they took back the Southwell County awarded to his descendants and gave it to Prince Lennart.

"Earl Campbell, we have to get closer in the future." Lennart Augustus, standing next to Govington II, had a strong smile in his eyes.

...

After leaving the banquet, Hasta saw that Earl Hall seemed to be in a bad mood. When only two people were about to get on their carriages to be alone, he asked Earl Hall what he was worried about.

Earl Hall got on the carriage in silence. After a while, he lifted the curtain and waved to Hasta, indicating that he should get on the carriage to talk.

Earl Hall's carriage was very spacious. It didn't look very colorful on the outside, but the decoration inside was very tasteful and luxurious.

Hasta got on the carriage and sat opposite Earl Hall, quietly waiting for Earl Hall to speak.

"The new king got married a few years ago, but Prince Lenat still has no marriage partner." Earl Hall said here, his tone turned heavy.

"Does he want to marry you?"

"Yes." Earl Hall nodded, and then said: "I won't force Audrey to do things she doesn't like to do, and I don't want to interfere too much in her marriage."

Hasta fully understood Earl Hall's concerns. Audrey is the pearl of Backlund, and the Loen royal family has always wanted Audrey to marry into the royal family.

Unfortunately, those royal children were not up to the task. Audrey didn't like any of them, nor did she get close to any prince.

When George III was still alive, there was no hurry, but now that the new king was in power, he would have to win over some powerful nobles, and marriage was a very useful means.

This means is popular and trusted by the upper class regardless of China or foreign countries, ancient or modern times.

The question asked by King Covington II tonight already showed this trend.

For Earl Hall, this is indeed a troublesome matter.

If he refused directly, it would easily cause bad feelings. Now that King Covington II is still young, he will naturally not do anything, but in the future, Earl Hall will definitely be kept away from the political center.

But this kind of thing is nothing to Audrey.

Just delay it for another two or three years, and when she becomes a demigod or an angel, she will directly reveal her identity, and the Loen royal family represented by King Covington II will definitely not dare to have some messy ideas again.

"Do you have any good countermeasures?" Earl Hall threw this question to Hasta, his eyes were pressing and very serious.

"I think the best way is to delay it first, and wait until Miss Audrey is a few years older, and then she can make a decision herself." Hasta gave his advice honestly.

"Heh, do you still need to tell me this method?"

Earl Hall's face darkened, and he asked Hasta to get off the car so that he would not stay here to affect his mood.

"..."

Hasta watched Earl Hall's carriage go away. He certainly knew what advice Earl Hall wanted to hear, but this was too disrespectful to Audrey.

And a Covington II was not enough for him to compromise with Audrey.

The Loen royal family sounds powerful, but Audrey is protected by the fool, and her status is no lower than that of the God-favored in the Orthodox Church.

Moreover, there is a Susie, who has inherited the legacy of a psychic dragon, and has a promising future.

Maybe in the future, there will be a drama where Audrey stands on the head of the psychic dragon transformed by Susie, makes a scene in the Loen royal family, and leaves Backlund openly.

Needless to say, after the death of George III, the power of the Loen royal family was greatly weakened, and it might not even be comparable to the Yellow Monk Organization.

So, this is not a problem worth worrying about at all.

"Perhaps I should have said it more tactfully just now, so that Earl Hall can relax."

Hasta did not think about it any more and left in the carriage.
