Chapter 337 Palace Banquet
Chapter 337 Palace Banquet
Five minutes later, Zhu Xiu appeared in the room. During these five minutes, he went to the dungeon of the palace and threw some food and water to Elsa.
"am I pretty?"
Irene held up the hem of her black skirt and slowly turned her body under Zhu Xiu's gaze.
"Beautiful! Very beautiful!"
Zhu Xiu praised, "Let's go. I'll trouble you to disguise yourself first. Once we catch Chad, we can attack head-on later."
After saying that, Zhu Xiu took out an enlarged black robe and handed it to Irene.
Irene curled her lips, took the black robe and put it on.
Zhu Xiu then used teleportation to return to the manor first, and then took Nina with him. The three of them teleported directly to the gate of Liro Palace.
Seeing Zhu Xiu in formal attire, the guards immediately turned their attention to him.
"Lord Baron!"
Zhu Xiu waved his hand and ignored the guards' greetings.
"Excuse me, who is this lady in black over here?"
Following the source of the voice, Zhu Xiu locked onto one of the guards and replied,
"The Queen's guest, what? You want to check more?"
"No! Please come in!"
The guard smiled flatteringly.
"let's go."
Zhu Xiu pulled Irene's clothes, walked between the two women, and walked into the palace together.
Not long after the three men left, the guards confirmed each other's glances, and one guard also walked into the palace.
After a long road, the three arrived in front of the main castle. At first glance, there was only a simple bouquet decoration in front of the castle gate, and a red carpet extended from inside to the road outside.
Zhu Xiu touched Irene and whispered in her ear,
"You know Chad?"
Although the newest batch of nobles in Saint Cassia were appointed by Liu Chi and Karina themselves, the possibility of replacement cannot be ruled out.
Irene nodded and whispered in his ear, imitating Zhu Xiu's words.
"I looked carefully along the way, but I didn't see him."
Nina, who was standing nearby, couldn't reach the two of them because she was too tall. She wanted to know what they were talking about, so she jumped directly onto Zhu Xiu's back.
Fortunately, Nina's body was very light and did not put much burden on Zhu Xiu. She put her little head on the back of Zhu Xiu's head and joined in the fun.
"What are you two whispering about? I want to hear it, too!"
Zhu Xiu turned his head, glanced at Nina, and said with a smile,
"We are discussing finding someone."
"Who are you looking for? Let me see if it's someone I know."
Zhu Xiu knew very well that with Nina's qualifications, it was impossible for her to know a duke who had just taken office, so he had to make up an excuse to get away with it.
"You definitely don't know him. Linlin just said that we didn't see him here. Let's go in first and see what the queen has to say about the arrangements."
Seeing Zhu Xiu say this, Irene had no choice but to give up and jumped off Zhu Xiu's back.
"Come on, I'll introduce you to some people. I wonder if they're here yet."
Nina simply took Zhu Xiu's hand and walked inside.
After a day of rushing to decorate the lobby on the first floor, the already magnificent lobby became a little too extravagant.
A small platform was built in the center of the hall near the inner wall, and on it was a black and red throne inlaid with gems of all sizes. It was obvious that Janet was not here at the moment.
Seeing that there were not many people in the hall, Zhu Xiucai realized that he might have come too early. Generally speaking, the banquets held among nobles would not be the highlight until the evening. If the invited guests had urgent matters, they would come to visit at noon and attend the banquet held at noon.
Nina also looked around, and when she found that there was no one she knew, her expression became a little stiff.
"It seems we are here too early!" Zhu Xiu said with emotion, "We are just in time for the end of breakfast, so let's fill our stomachs first."
The three of them slowly walked to a corner of the hall, where three long tables were neatly laid out with pastries.
The three of them sat down at a table nearby, holding small plates in their hands. The pastries on the plates were like a work of art, and just looking at them made people reluctant to eat them.
Zhu Xiu and Nina only took a small piece, but Irene piled up a pastry tower that was dozens of centimeters high.
Just as Zhu Xiu was looking at the artwork on the plate, a familiar voice of "cousin" suddenly rang out from the side.
broken! ! !
Zhu Xiu looked up and saw Mu Liuqing's brilliant smile.
When Mu Liuqing saw Zhu Xiu, he instantly remembered what Zhu Xiu had said to him and immediately changed his words.
"Why is Brother Zhu Xiu here too? That's right, Brother is so strong, there's no reason for him not to come."
Nina looked at Zhu Xiu curiously. Nina was not present at the battle between the two in the south of the city, so at this moment, she didn't know who the young man in front of her was.
"Are you Nina, the one known as the 'Immortal Consciousness' in the Magic Tower, Lady Nina?"
After recognizing the elf next to Zhu Xiu, Mu Liuqing greeted him respectfully.
"you are?"
Nina asked with a smile, looking at the boy in front of her, those eyes that wanted to see through others, but at this moment, there was no progress.
"Since it's Lady Nina, then I'll tell you the truth, Mu Liuqing, the prince of the Ogar Empire."
Nina frowned, and while thinking, she seemed to remember such a person, and then replied with a smile.
"Give your father my regards!"
"I hope that Master Ni will take good care of me in the future. Maybe we can become colleagues in the future!"
Mu Liuqing sat down consciously, and his eyes finally stopped on Irene beside him.
"Brother, who is this blonde girl over here? Could she be your girlfriend???"
Mu Liuqing's casual question made Irene, who was eating, blush all the way to her neck.
Zhu Xiu pursed her lips and looked at Mu Liuqing with a complicated expression.
I hope today's arrest plan won't be delayed by this kid.
Zhu Xiu thought about it and said, "You will know this person's identity when the time comes."
Zhu Xiu paused, then changed the topic and asked Mu Liuqing,
"You asked me last time if I could help you with something. Let me see if I can help you."
After listening to this, Mu Liuqing turned his head slightly and quickly looked around with the corner of his eyes. After confirming that there was no problem, he stood up slightly, leaned over, and said in Liu Chi's ear,
"The Osprey Empire."
After saying that, Mu Liuqing sat back down.
Zhu Xiu stared at the table, moving his eyes back and forth quickly, then raised his gaze and met Mu Liuqing's eyes.
At this moment, both of them seemed to understand each other's meaning.
"I'll be waiting for you at the abandoned ship at West Coast Pier at twelve o'clock tonight."
Mu Liuqing said this with a smile.
Zhu Xiu nodded, "See you then!"
"Haha~"
Smiling, Mu Liuqing stood up.
"Brother Zhu Xiu, I won't disturb you and your sisters-in-law from having breakfast. We'll see you at the banquet."
Zhu Xiu nodded slightly and looked at Mu Liuqing expressionlessly.
