The next moment, they walked into the banquet hall.

Many of the guests who had entered before had already taken their seats and were waiting gracefully and patiently, greeting each other from time to time. There were also many people who stood together in small groups and chatted happily and politely.

The arrival of the Duke of Nan'an and the Duke of Xinghu undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention. First, the guests who were close to each other saluted one after another, and then the people in the distance stopped talking. Perhaps they did not expect to see the big shot so quickly.

After sitting down, a few seconds later, an almost commotion broke out in the banquet hall.

The slightly more important guests - Mr. and Mrs. Doyle with flattering smiles, Viscount Lozano Glover, including the one with the child (after seeing the nine-pointed star badge on the baron's hand, gathered around Lady Eleanor

Eleanor Barney (whose number of ladies suddenly increased) all stood up and saluted.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Zhan and Thales naturally let go of each other, returned gifts to the guests in a tacit and cooperative manner, and responded to their greetings from time to time.

Different from the state meeting that was a mixed bag six years ago, the people who were invited to attend the Holy Day and Prince's homecoming banquet were naturally not ordinary people. Even the guests on the periphery were neither humble nor overbearing, friendly and decent, and the waiters and guards performed their duties conscientiously.

He made way for the Duke and Prince and watched them go without disturbing their conversation.

However, only Thales knew.

In this warm and harmonious moment, where the host and guest were harmonious, and they were a family, the invisible confrontation between him and Zhan reached its peak.

The boy's steps are short and slightly faster.

Jenn's strides are longer and slightly less frequent.

The two walked in parallel, adjusting the pace for each other from time to time, but for some reason, the rhythm of their feet just couldn't reach a certain point.

But at that moment, Thales truly smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Does he know, Jenn?

Thales thought silently.

The ruler of the Iris family and the South Coast Territory, Duke Jenn Kelvindir, is feared and worshiped in the Kingdom of Stars.

His threats, his warnings, his serious tone...

Compared with those people...

Many faces passed through Thales' mind:

King Nun caressing the ring, King Charmaine caressing the sword, the sinister and sinister Dagger, the creepy and weird Ricky, the legendary Wings processing the head, the giggling Duke of the West Wasteland...

Compared with them...

The young man chuckled inwardly.

The excitement created by the two people in the banquet hall subsided slightly, and the guests dispersed again and returned to small groups.

The next second, Thales' smile faded slightly. He put down his greeting hand and grabbed Zhan's shoulder unceremoniously.

"You know, I'm taking Bachelor Julio's math class recently."

"So I'm curious."

It looked as if the prince remembered something interesting, leaned forward and whispered to the duke.

Thales kept his mouth still and spoke from between his teeth:

"I'm very curious: six years ago, when I was in an accident when I went north, and you transferred those baronies and the limestone mines to the royal family in order to get my father's mercy and forgiveness..."

"How much revenue do you have to lose every year?"

The voice fell.

Zhan En's breathing was slightly messed up.

Barony.

Lite crystal mine.

income……

Zhan's arm muscles tightened slightly.

"this matter."

He smiled and turned to Thales.

"I thought we were done..."

But the prince responded to him with a brighter and brighter smile:

"And do you know how I got here in the fierce and dangerous Northland in the past six years?"

At that moment, the owner of the Kevin Deere family felt his shoulders tighten:

"Times have changed, Jenn."

Thales leaned against the other person's ear and raised a malicious smile:

"Don't ask for trouble."

"Repentance remains."

Zhan En looked at him steadily.

His expression slowly stiffened.

In the eyes of many people, Prince Thales was extremely happy. He kept saying something in Duke Kevin Deere's ears all the way, and the latter listened patiently and dotingly to the young man's words, showing no displeasure at all, let alone being cold.

Face.

As close as brothers.

Seeing that the person is so happy, the corners of his mouth are raised.

Since the prince and the duke, one is young and pure, lively and cheerful, the other is elegant, wise, gentle and honest, they jointly create a friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere...

Then the surrounding guests will naturally be deeply affected and resonate from the bottom of their hearts.

I wish I could be one with these two leaders, noble role models who set an example for the world.

As a result, the banquet hall suddenly turned into a sea of ​​joy: the red-eyed feuding people who used to meet each other no longer quarrel, laugh and forget their grudges, embrace each other like brothers and tolerate each other, and strangers who have never been in contact with each other also feel like old friends at the first sight, and they have a happy conversation.

, I just lamented that it was too late to meet again and it was a pity.

The Mindis Hall at this moment truly shows the unique spiritual outlook and characteristics of the times, unity and high morale of the nobles and the common people inside and outside the palace of the Kingdom of Stars.

Thales and Zhan finally stopped.

The two of them still stared at each other with smiles on their faces, as if everything was silent.

Mallos in front had to raise his voice to remind the two people who were immersed in each other's eyes: the guests had been delivered and it was time for His Highness to go back to greet other guests.

Finally, Zhan smiled, stretched out his hands, held Thales' shoulders, and his tone softened.

"I understand, Your Highness."

"Please take it easy."

Zhan En lowered his head and pursed his lips:

"If the stars are here, the empire will be eternal."

Thales raised his eyebrows.

Then, Thales grinned happily, stretched out his arms without any grudge, and hugged Zhan hard!

"That's good, I hope we'd rather be friends..."

Zhan En's face froze, and he only felt that his waist was tightly tightened, and the strength gradually increased.

I saw Thales burying the side of his face on the Duke's chest, and said coldly from an angle that no one could see:

"Don't surrender to your enemies."

The next second, the prince let go of the duke, turned back into the cheerful and sincere Thales, and laughed.

Zhan looked at him and laughed too.

In order to cooperate with the prince and the duke, the well-behaved nobles around them secretly peeped and at the same time raised their voices in a good manner to make the two people's laughter less abrupt.

Thales seemed to be really happy. He laughed up and down, waved to Zhan, then turned and left, quickly walking in between Glover and Doyle (he looked at the prince with strange eyes).

between.

At the moment when no one was watching, the boy relaxed because he had laughed so much that his facial muscles were almost numb.

But he let out a long breath deep in his heart.

Somewhat strange.

Feeling Zhan's eyes from behind, Thales, who became tired again, thought to himself.

Jenn Kevin Deere.

As one of his most unpleasant enemies, this guy is still as sinister, as deep, and as hateful.

But in my memory, the former Duke of Iris didn't seem to be so...

initiative?
