Mystery: The Stars Returner

The dinner was held in a garden in the palace. Hastur followed Count Hall to greet the nobles who came to the dinner. Count Hall introduced their respective origins to Hastur.

This also gave Hastur a better understanding of the upper-class nobles of the Loen Kingdom.

Some nobles who are about the same age as Earl Hall always casually ask about Hastur's marriage status during casual conversations.

Some nobles even wanted to betroth their daughters to Hastur on the spot.

In this regard, Earl Hall had a sullen face throughout the whole process, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Hasta could only refuse their hospitality by saying that he was still young and wanted to start a career first and then start a family.

"Your father was already famous when he was your age."

Georgina Augustus, wearing a burgundy evening dress, came from a short distance away and looked at Hastur with burning eyes.

As for Duke Georgina, Hastur had met her once before, and it seemed that she had an unclear relationship with his father.

"Future generations should learn from those who came before, so that they are less likely to make mistakes." Hastur responded calmly.

"You have nothing like his personality, so I'm a little interested in you."

Georgina Augustus lightly lifted her hair that fell to her ears, held the wine glass closer, and breathed out the seductive aroma from her red lips.

Hastur moved a small step towards Earl Hall without leaving a trace, raised his glass and said with a smile: "This is my honor."

"You don't seem to be very good at talking about love, nor are you very good at socializing. In this regard, your father is much better than you." Georgina Augustus said, looking at Earl Hall again, and said meaningfully : "A treasure without an owner, but everyone wants it."

"I don't like to interfere in things between young people. This is their own problem. As elders, we only need to watch them grow and occasionally provide them with a little help." Earl Hall emphasized the word elder. .

"I don't think I'm old."

After speaking with a smile, Georgina Augustus left here and went to chat with other nobles.

"The most important thing in interpersonal interactions is to keep your eyes open so as not to be fooled by people's appearance." Earl Hall said with a hint.

Next, Earl Hall also went to reminisce with the nobles he was familiar with.

Hastur silently tasted the delicacies at tonight's dinner, looking at the luxurious life of this drunken and drunken man, but he no longer yearned for the path of the Black Emperor.

The further this path goes, the more inseparable it becomes from this entertainment.

Instead of wasting time on these uninteresting things, choose extraordinary avenues where you can walk around and see something.

Speaking of which, he has been in the mysterious world for so long and has never been abroad.

He has been wandering around the territory of the Kingdom of Loen. If he goes back this time, he can visit other countries.

The Republic of Intis is a good choice.

Bernadette also seems to be interested in returning to her hometown. The only thing that needs to be noted is that the followers of the Super Star Lord and the Mother Tree of Desire are also there.

If you go to the Republic of Intis, you may increase the risk of exposing your true identity.

Hastur was tasting the food while thinking about the next arrangements.

It wasn't until Govington II appeared that he put down the tableware in his hands and went to where everyone gathered.

The great prince of the past, today's Govington II, is surrounded by stars and the moon in the center position.

Just by changing his identity, he already had a bit of the old-fashioned and serious look of George III.

He looked unsmiling, and only nodded slightly to the flattery of the nobles, without much expression of happiness or joy.

Tsk, this level is not enough.

On the surface, he is old-fashioned, serious and unsmiling, which seems to be more dignified, but in fact it is a forced performance, so he does not dare to show his mood at will.

If George III attended such a dinner, he would definitely have a cheerful smile on his face and greet every nobleman naturally.

He does not need to deliberately control his mood. What needs to be disguised are those nobles who want to flatter themselves, but are concerned about their appearance and are afraid of being ugly.

As a king, he is the center, and the world around him is an extension of his will.

Hastur mentally commented on Govington II. Although he helped strangle George III to death, he could not deny that George III was a pretty good king.

"The new king is not much older than you, and he likes to promote young people. This is your chance." Earl Hall said in a low voice next to Hastur.

Hastur nodded and said: "Thank you Earl Hall for the reminder. I will try my best to leave a good impression in front of the new king."

Earl Hall said nothing more, but looked through the crowd at Govington II who was surrounded in the center.

The new king was ambitious and wanted to expand his territory and become a greater king than George III.

Now, the conquest of the Fosak Empire is an excellent opportunity.

Govington II chatted with the surrounding nobles for a long time before his eyes fell on Earl Hall, "Earl Hall, isn't Miss Audrey here tonight?"

Earl Hall had a straight face and replied seriously: "She had a stomachache this afternoon and really couldn't come to tonight's dinner. She feels sorry for that."

"??"

A string of questions arose in Hastur's mind. Isn't tonight's dinner for discussing political affairs?

Even the noble ladies were not included in the invitation list, so how could Audrey be specially invited to attend?

Govington II smiled and said: "Since Miss Audrey is not feeling well, let me, the doctor in the palace, go and have a look. Their medical skills are pretty good."

"Thank you for your kindness." Earl Hall bowed slightly.

Govington II ignored Earl Hall and looked at Hastur, with a smile in his eyes and said: "Earl Campbell, my second brother who will go to South Wales to take office in the future needs you to take more care of him. .”

"This is my duty and honor." Hastur responded naturally, while he was thinking about the second prince's intention of stopping him last night.

It turned out that he was the candidate who was sent to South Wales to take over as the Archduke of South Wales.

From this point of view, the Loen royal family should know that Drink Augustus is dead.

That's why he took back the South Wales that was awarded to his descendants and handed it over to Prince Lennart.

"Earl Campbell, we must get closer in the future." Lennart Augustus, standing next to Govington II, had a strong smile in his eyes.

……

After leaving the dinner, Hastur saw that Earl Hall seemed to be in a bad mood. When only two people were about to board their carriages to be alone, he asked Earl Hall what he was worried about.

Earl Hall silently got into the carriage. After a while, he opened the curtain and waved to Hastur, gesturing for him to come up to the carriage to talk.

The carriage of Earl Hall's family is very spacious. It doesn't look very impressive on the outside, but the interior decoration is very tasteful and luxurious.

Hastur got on the carriage, sat opposite Earl Hall, and waited quietly for Earl Hall to speak.

"The new king has been married a few years ago, but Prince Lennart has no marriage partner yet." When Earl Hall said this, his tone turned serious.

"He wants to marry you?"

"Yes." Earl Hall nodded and said, "I won't force Audrey to do something she doesn't like, and I don't want to interfere too much in her marriage."

Hastur fully understood Earl Hall's concerns. Audrey was Backlund's jewel, and the Loen royal family had always wanted Audrey to marry into the royal family.

It's a pity that those royal children didn't live up to their expectations. Audrey didn't like any of them, and she didn't get close to any of the princes.

When George III was still there, there was no rush, but now that the new king has come to power, he is bound to win over some powerful nobles, and marriage is a very useful method.

This method does not distinguish between China and foreign countries, ancient or modern, and has always been highly sought after and trusted by the upper class.

There are already signs of this in Govington II's question tonight.

For Earl Hall, this is indeed a troublesome matter.

If you refuse directly, it will easily arouse resentment. Now that Govington II is still in his infancy, he will naturally not do anything, but in the future, Earl Hall will definitely be kept away from the political center.

But, this kind of thing is nothing to Audrey.

It only takes another two or three years to wait until she becomes a demigod or an angel and directly reveals her identity. The Loen royal family represented by Govington II will definitely not dare to have any more messy ideas.

"Do you have any good countermeasures?" Earl Hall asked this question to Hastur, with a serious look in his eyes.

"I think the best way is to wait until Miss Audrey is a few years older and then let her make her own decision." Hasta gave his honest advice.

"Oh, do you still need to explain this method?"

Earl Hall's face darkened and asked Hastur to get out of the car so that staying here would not affect his mood.

"..."

Hastur watched Earl Hall's carriage go away. Of course he knew what advice Earl Hall wanted to hear, but this was too disrespectful to Audrey.

And one Govington II was not enough for him and Audrey to compromise on this.

The Loen royal family sounds very powerful, but Audrey is protected by the Fool, and her status is no lower than that of the God's Favored in the Righteous God Church.

Furthermore, there is Susie, who has received the inheritance of a spiritual dragon and has a bright future.

Maybe there will be a drama in the future where Audrey stands on the head of the psychic dragon that Susie transformed into, makes a fuss about the Loen royal family, and leaves Backlund openly.

Needless to say, after the death of George III, the power of the Loen royal family was greatly weakened, and I am afraid that even the yellow monk organization may not be able to compare with it.

So, it's not a problem to worry about at all.

"Perhaps what I just said should be more tactful, so that Earl Hall can relax."

Hastur didn't think any more and left in a carriage.
