Chapter 599 Chapter 595 The King's Invitation
Arda opened an office in Jingyao a long time ago to recruit talents from all walks of life in the royal capital.
Paul and Mellon moved into the office after arriving in Jingyao. Some of the other lords lived in the homes of their relatives in Jingyao, and some had already bought their own mansions in Jingyao.
In addition to the lords, Paul, Mellon and others were accompanied by a large number of people, including Secretary Bernard, Minister of Agriculture Hansel, Ladi Setia, Captain of the Guard Victor and There are many guards, Bernard and Hansel are originally from Jingyao, and they came back this time to visit relatives.
After entering the city, Bernard and Hansel went back to their homes to visit their relatives.
After settling in, Paul and others, led by the office staff, walked around the nearby neighborhoods, and then returned to the office to rest.
“An order from the palace.” When they returned to the office, the person in charge, Garrix, told Paul and Myron, “If you two adults arrive at Jingyao, please come to the palace as a guest the next day. ."
"So soon?" Paul was a little surprised, "Shouldn't all the lords and envoys arrive together to meet the new king on a certain day?"
Garyx? He happily said to him: "Obviously, our new King cherishes the personal friendship with you."
As the person in charge of Alda's Jingyao office, Garrix knows that the new king The special relationship between King Rodney XVIII and the Northwest Bay.
After receiving the order from the palace, he was very happy, which meant that his lord was very important in the heart of His Majesty the King.
Paul asked: "Have the other lords received any news?"
Garrix shook his head: "It seems not."
——
The next day, Paul and Myron brought Victor, Ladi and others to the gate of the palace.
Everyone handed over their weapons. In order to avoid trouble, their gunpowder weapons were left in the office. After another search, they actually entered the palace.
A palace attendant led them into a drawing room.
“The place where His Majesty the King lives is quite nice!”
Paul admired the interior decoration and said to Myron and others with a smile.
“I’m glad you like my living room, Paul.”
A cheerful voice came from outside, and the new King of Aldo Kingdom, His Majesty Rodney XVIII, walked in with a smile.
Paul, who recognized the voice, immediately bowed toward the door like everyone else.
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome, everyone, let’s just get along as we did in the Northwest Bay today. Paul, Myron, the beautiful Ms. Setia and the captain of the guard Victor.”
Except for Paul, Rodney was the eighteenth emperor who called everyone by name, although he had only met people other than Paul a few times in the Northwest Bay.
“As you command, my lord.”
Paul agreed and slowly raised his head.
Oh!
He obviously felt his heart trembling slightly.
Paul's eyes were attracted by a figure behind the king.
This is a woman who is beautiful in every aspect. She has long, bright golden wavy hair, scattered smoothly on her shoulders and back, and her fair oval face is perfectly embellished. A pair of sapphire-like eyes, slightly thick eyebrows, revealing a heroic spirit that is not found in ordinary women. Under the straight and beautiful nose are full and red lips, which are a bit provocative. Such a perfect face is separated by a graceful and slender neck. Supported by it, further down... ahem.
Paul withdrew his gaze. It would be considered offensive to stare at others, especially a beautiful woman, and the other person's identity is likely to be a member of the royal family.
Pay attention to your image! Pay attention to your image! Paul kept repeating this in his mind.
Of course, the amazing fullness and graceful curves were still firmly engraved in his mind. "Haha, please sit down, everyone!"
Rodney XVIII stretched out his arm and made a gesture of invitation, but there was a playful smile on his mouth, because as soon as he entered the door He focused his attention on Paul, so he caught the obvious lag in his eyes.
Everyone took their seats again.
Rodney XVIII said to everyone, "Let me introduce you." He stretched out his hand toward the woman beside him, "This is the daughter of the former King Rodney XVII, my cousin. Princess Catherine Rodney.”
It turns out that she is the famous Princess Catherine, and everyone from the Northwest Bay greeted the princess with some restraint.
"Everyone, I'm so glad that you can come to Jingyao, especially at this time..."
Katherine responded to them gracefully, but there was a hint of sadness in her voice. She has not yet Coming out of the shadow of his father's death.
"This is our duty and obligation," Paul replied on behalf of the crowd.
“This is Count Paul Grayman.” Rodney XVIII pointed at Paul and introduced to Catherine.
Catherine's eyes lit up and she looked at Paul, "So you are Count Grayman."
"Yes, Your Highness Catherine. I often hear about your deeds in the Northwest Bay." Paul replied sheepishly.
"I often hear about your deeds, especially me..."
Catherine almost told her sister, but stopped. It seemed that her sister had not yet made her identity clear to the young earl.
"Thank you for providing rations and weapons to the royal army during the civil war, as well as the technology and market you provide now." She changed direction in time.
“This is what I should do as a vassal of the kingdom.”
Paul replied somewhat politely, thinking that he had also made a lot of money from the royal family.
King Rodney XVIII introduced Mellon and others to Catherine one by one.
"It's incredible." After the greetings, Rodney Eighteen said with emotion, "Just four or five years ago, the West Bay was still an unknown place to those of us living in Jingyao. Ah, hope You don’t mind what I said.”
Myron said: “Your Majesty is describing objectively. We know the situation in the Northwest Gulf in those years.”
The king smiled, “ But now, the northwest bay is a place of wealth and opportunity. It has to be said that this is a miracle, and as far as I know, the center of the miracle is you two counts."
Myron shook his head. He said honestly: "Your Majesty, in fact, mainly to Paul, I just made some investments according to the methods he guided."
Paul immediately said: "Your Majesty, the investment of the Gardner family is the result of some of my early ideas. An important guarantee for realization.”
The king's smile grew wider, "It seems that you are all people of noble character. I am very happy to have vassals like you."
He turned his eyes to Paul.
“Count Grayman, I hope to copy the miracle of the Northwest Bay to the entire kingdom, what do you think?”
Speechless, I keep making typos recently, and the title cannot be changed... …
