Black Knight From Blue Star

Chapter 60: Traditional nobles are more coquettish

Except for the Saints, Hardy doesn’t believe in any of the other members of the royal family.

　　No matter how shy this two-headed dragon boy looks on the outside and how kind-hearted he is on the outside, Hardy will still put him on the list of suspects.

 After all, many times we know people but not their hearts.

Besides, today’s ‘encounter’ was the young man’s own initiative to say hello.

 There is an old saying that actually makes sense: if you show courtesy for nothing, you will either commit adultery or steal.

 After staying in the tavern for half an hour, Hardy left.

Although it only cost three silver coins, the intelligence officer in the tavern was quite reputable and gave a lot of information about the beautiful young noble.

 For example, he likes to put on light makeup and buy himself beautiful clothes.

 It is said that she was seen wearing a small skirt.

 Actually, this is not something too perverted, because according to Hardy's understanding, many nobles in France have a hobby of wearing small skirts.

Especially the old-school traditional aristocrats, they not only like to wear small skirts, but also stockings and high heels.

 Because it will be beneficial to their battle.

 But why are there so few nobles dressed like this now?

 Because it’s a waste of money.

 Silk stockings can only be produced by the elves. A pair costs at least one gold coin and can generally only be worn for three days.

Handshoes are also quite expensive and will be damaged quickly under high-intensity training and combat.

 Therefore...the dressing style of classical and traditional aristocrats is actually very expensive, and ordinary people and ordinary families cannot persist in it.

No matter what, this beautiful boy who took the initiative to find Hadi has been put on the 'blacklist'.

 As for when to put it down, it depends on the results of the follow-up investigation.

Hardy returned to Jeanne Manor with the books, and was about to go back to the military camp to rest when a maid came over and said that Madam Sissi invited her.

Hardy went to the main hall of the castle, where not only Mrs. Sissi and Mrs. Anna were there, but Dora was also there.

 Hadi bowed after entering.

Dora was still smiling and smiling. He nodded solemnly and ignored Hardy.

It's not that he doesn't like Hardy, it's just that he doesn't know what to say.

Mrs. Sissi said: "Not long ago, the Eckerd family sent someone to send an invitation, hoping that we would let everyone in the Na family attend the banquet they held tonight."

"All?" Hardy wanted to laugh a little: "Do they want to kill all the Jeanne family in one fell swoop?"

Although the Two-headed Dragon family did not directly conflict with the Jeanne family on the surface, there was definitely a lot of friction behind the scenes.

"It is indeed possible." Mrs. Sissi sighed: "But after all, they are also from the royal family. It would be very cowardly if none of us went to participate."

At this time, Dora, who was sitting on the main seat, spoke: "Three months ago, we also held a banquet and invited them, and they came."

 Hardy understood what they meant.

“You want me to follow you as a guard?”

Dora nodded: "I will attend tonight. After all, I am the head of the family, but in fact I have not contributed much to the family. If something happens, the family will not suffer much loss."

Although Dora has little decision-making power, no one can question her sacrifice for the family.

 Hardy thought for a while and said, "But even with me as a guard, it's not safe!"

 “What should we do?”

Hardy thought for a while and said: "There is still some time before the banquet. Go and mobilize the knights and station them one kilometer outside the town in the largest town of the two-headed dragon family."

 Dora clapped her hands suddenly: "I understand what you mean."

 No matter whether the two-headed dragons have reached any agreement with the Lion Faction, as long as the Knights are placed at their largest source of troops, they must protect Dora's safety at the banquet.

 This is much more powerful than bringing a few more guards.

"You have so many ideas, no wonder Enolin likes you so much." But Hardy thinks this is a very simple matter. The same confrontational thinking can be thought of in two ways: chess and Go.

 He is better at Go and thinks more.

With the matter settled, Dora breathed a sigh of relief and went upstairs to rest happily, getting ready for the evening banquet and replenishing her spirits.

After all, he is older and not as powerful as a young man like Hardy.

Hardy also went back to make preparations. Before leaving the main hall, he glanced at Mrs. Anna.

I found that her temperament at this time was completely different from last night, and she became very dignified and serious.

 As if nothing had happened.

 In the evening, Hardy came to the gate of the manor, and the luxurious black carriage was ready to set off.

Hardy jumped on the carriage in two steps, got into the carriage, and saw Dora wearing a white aristocratic dress. He even shaved his beard so short that he was almost unrecognizable.

 “Duke Dora, you beard…”

Dora touched her chin and smiled: "In the past, our Jeanne family was always afraid of this, so I wanted to grow a beard to make myself look more powerful, but it's no longer necessary now."

 At present, in addition to the Blade Knights, the Jeanne family also has about a thousand professional soldiers and about three thousand militiamen.

 Having soldiers in hand, but not panic in mind, this is probably what it means.

Although the Jeanna family lives in Boris, their fiefdom is actually in the ‘City of Morda’, which is more than 20 kilometers north of the city of Boris.

 This is also the reason why the Blade Knights appeared from the north last time.

 The two-headed dragon and lion families are in the same situation, and their armies are outside the city.

Most of the troops in the royal city of Boris actually belong to the Dwarf faction.

 The carriage staggered towards the two-headed dragon family.

 After shaving, Dora has the temperament of a scholar. Like most scholars, he is not good at talking.

 After he finished speaking, he didn't know how to speak.

Hadi took the initiative and asked: "Has the Two-Headed Dragon Family ever robbed your property in the past?"

Dora nodded, and then said: "It can't be said to be robbery. It was just taking advantage of the situation and bought several of our shops at very low prices."

"Then you can go talk to the two-headed dragon about this later." Hardy said slowly: "Take advantage of this opportunity to get back more of your own property in one go, otherwise it will be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future."

"Why?"

 Because Hadi remembered that when he came to the Royal City of Boris a few years later, it was the Two-headed Dragon family who sat on the throne, not the current Dwarf faction.

In other words, in the past few years, the Two-Headed Dragon family has produced a political genius.

 This brought the family to its peak, and was accompanied by the decline of the Jeanne family.

 But Hadi was only focused on making money and completing tasks at the time, and did not understand the division of power in Boris at all.

  I don’t want to understand either.

“Just a simple intuition, I always feel that the Shuanglongtou family is not simple, and seems to be planning something.”

Dora’s face became serious: “How much credibility is there?”

 “It’s just intuition, how much credibility can it have?”

 But Dora’s expression became more and more serious.

If other people say 'intuition', he won't care.

 But now that Hardy is saying it, the meaning is different.

 He actually admires Hadi in his heart.
