The King of Knights in a Different World Chapter 69
After that, it was indeed much quieter.
However, Lucifer became more and more curious about Maria's identity, not the count on the surface, but another identity.
no.123 prom
The Winter Palace, the most dazzling palace in Ross King City.
At this moment, the hall is full of beautiful things, countless delicacies are placed on the long table in the center, and the palace band on the front desk is playing beautiful music.
The flow of people is full of warmth.
Under Lei Di's order, all counts and nobles above counts in the whole country came here.
They are looking forward to this wonderful marriage together.
Even the heads of the two knight orders 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.
Diarmuid and Son of Light Cu Chulainn, who are fighters, put away their fighting faces and appeared as nobles instead.
One of the protagonists of the banquet, Lucifer was already casually dealing with the surrounding nobles.
Beside him, Tristan and Agravin were guarding their surroundings while participating in the banquet as nobles.
Compared to the nobles here, Lucifer is more concerned about the two spearmen in the corner, and the demon monk Lars who appeared in the previous information.
I don't know why, when watching Cu Chulainn and Kotomine Kirei talking and laughing together, Lucifer always has a feeling of wanting to laugh.
Since they didn't take the initiative to contact him, Lucifer also 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 Lei Di already stated the theme of the meeting at the beginning, it doesn't matter whether Anastasias appears or not.
The dance was still going on, but Lucifer felt a little bored.
At this time, a mature woman came to Lucifer's side.
"Your An, Your Majesty the Knight King."
The woman with long gray hair pulled up the corner of her skirt and bowed slightly.
"Who are you"
Lucifer already knew this...woman's name, but he still asked calmly on the surface.
"Ekaterina, the wife of Peter, the ninth son of the Thunder Emperor, sends you greetings."
"It turns out that the lady is... Ekaterina, you are more beautiful than the rumors."
When Lucifer opened his mouth, it was... words of praise for women.
These words can be regarded as one of the general rhetoric of this kind of banquet.
To be honest, I first learned from those...playboys in the round table.
Compared to Gawain and Lancelot, Lucifer felt that his level was completely entry-level.
"I am very honored that His Royal Highness the Knight King has actually heard my name."
Ekaterina stood up with curiosity in her eyes.
For this, Lucifer directly gave the credit to Maria.
"Because another lady who impressed me mentioned you to me."
"Yeah.
Then I would like to thank that lady, I wonder if I have the honor to dance with you."
Ekaterina took a step forward, she raised her arm, and passed the white silk gloved palm in midair, waiting for Lucifer's acceptance.
"As beautiful as Madam, not many people would have the heart to refuse the request."
"Yes, I look forward to those who are not in the minority."
"Essentially speaking, I'm just a very ordinary but ordinary person."
With that said, Lucifer took Ekaterina's hand.
They walked to the dance floor together.
This is already the Lucifer dance, the previous three dances also included three young ladies from the duke's family.
On the dance floor, couples of men and women are enjoying this wonderful moment.
Lucifer's joining didn't disturb them, nor did it attract too much attention.
Ye Karina's height is unexpectedly good, only a little shorter than Lucifer, they seem to cooperate unexpectedly.
"Your Majesty the Knight King's dance steps are surprisingly familiar. I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Rose's court dance."
While dancing, Ekaterina said with a smile.
"It's probably thanks to someone.
When I first became king, someone pointed out that I didn't understand etiquette. For this reason, I practiced hard for a long time afterwards.
As a king, considering that he may travel to various countries in the future, he naturally needs to understand the mainstream culture of each country."
Lucifer, who was dressed in a white dress, also responded calmly.
"Your Majesty the Knight King is really funny, but who is so bold?"
"Bismarck."
"Bismarck! Could it be..."
Hearing this name, Ekaterina slipped and almost fell down.
At this moment, Lucifer immediately changed his dance steps and took her by the arm.
In this way, the prince and concubine did not make a fool of herself in public.
Pulling her back in front of his eyes, Lucifer continued.
"Yes, that's what Madam said, the iron-blooded prime minister of France."
For a while, the rhythm of the dance between them began to change: faster.
"In my impression, the number of times you meet is only one.
It seems that there was only that one meeting, did Bismarck dare to say these words to you in that... era?"
"Perhaps that's why he's called the Iron Prime Minister.
Let me secretly tell you a little secret, Madam, because of his words, Francedo paid 50,000 gold coins for it."
"..."
Ekaterina was a little speechless about this.
In one sentence, an extra 50,000 gold coins was used, which is such an expensive price.
However, through the small temptation between words, Ekaterina also understood some things revealed by Lucifer.
"It's really quite an expensive rhetoric, but I don't know if His Majesty the King of Knights still has the same idea when he comes to Ross this time."
"how come.
Anyway, I will soon marry Princess Anna as queen, and in a sense, we will soon become a family.
Besides, Madam is so beautiful, even if I make a slip of the tongue occasionally, I will 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 king, not to mention different people without a blood source."
"Blood origin, surname, country, belief..., these... have never been the fundamental reasons that determine where the sword in people's hands will swing."
"Oh! Then what does Your Majesty think the sword is determined by?"
"will.
But more often than not it's greed."
Lucifer spoke his own answer.
Speaking of this, Lucifer whispered in her ear.
"So, madam, you have to be careful."
"What do I need to be careful about"
"Positively show yourself and let people see your ambition.
Maybe it can give people a chance to get close, but at the same time, it will also let people see your greed.
Although many people feel like beasts in their hearts, most of the time they will not admit that they are beasts, and subconsciously hate them.
ambition, because it reminds them of their wretched selves."
Lucifer spoke calmly, the Ekaterina reflected in his eyes at this moment is a flame called ambition.
Yes, like the former Pope Sullivan.
just don't care....
From any aspect, the Ekaterina in front of her could not be compared with Sullivan.
"What does His Majesty the Knight King mean?"
Ekaterina put away the gentle smile before, and her eyes became: sharp.
"Your approach is very good, but be careful to make enemies.
A man cannot face a group of beasts alone, maybe you should learn to find yourself an ally instead of coming alone."
When Lucifer finished speaking, the song 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...Ekaterina's hand, and returned to his position.
With the music starting again, the people enjoying the dance on the dance floor started again.
At this time, a thin middle-aged man with a mustache walked past Lucifer again.
He was dressed in black and the color of Lucifer's body was completely opposite.
"Hoho! Your Majesty the Knight King, I don't know how Ross's banquet compares with yours in Britain."
The man spoke with a special accent, which sounded a little funny.
"Don't be fancy.
From the very beginning, I can deeply feel the passion of Ross woman.
Would you like to introduce yourself formally?"
"Your Majesty is Prince Bezukhov, who has seen His Majesty the King of Knights.
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, so I can only come here when there is no one around.
Please laugh."
"Prince Bezukhov, well, I remember that the first beautiful lady who danced with me just now had the same surname."
Lucifer thought about it carefully, and recalled 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, why don't you let my little girl spend the night with you."
Bezukhov immediately hit the snake with a stick and made this proposal.
Regarding this, Lucifer said that this guy is a little too enthusiastic.
