Suhlen moved his wrists in discomfort. Due to the fact that this form-fitting dress was tailored to fit the body, it was uncomfortable even though he looked dashing in it. Suhlen was also dizzy from learning those troublesome aristocratic etiquette. Fortunately, he had gone through some training and could imitate it quite well.
However, after seeing the starry eyes of the two half-elf maids, Suhlen suddenly felt that this dress was not that unbearable after all.
Suhlen brought Alex to the door to welcome the messenger of the Florentine Kingdom. However, when he saw the graceful figure of the messenger, he was indeed stunned for a moment. What surprised him even more was that the Florentine Royal Family actually sent a princess as a messenger. They must have prepared a sugar-coated bullet.
Beautiful, dignified, noble, and charming. Such a style perfectly interpreted the grace and luxury of a princess. With a curvy figure, a slightly tender face, and the aristocratic etiquette that had been integrated into her bones, Suhlen could not help but be amazed by the great aristocratic family that had been passed down for hundreds of years.
If she were to be compared with Kris, Hathaway, Alex, and even Karina Grace, this princess would not have an advantage in terms of looks. However, her temperament and overall image were not inferior.
Of course, this was due to her long-term aristocratic upbringing and etiquette. On the other hand, Kris and Hathaway rarely put in the effort to do these things. Putting everything else aside, Alex was the most beautiful one. Of course, this was only Suhlen's subjective judgment. Hathaway's temperament was more intellectual, while Kris's was sexy and charming.
After reciting the aristocratic etiquette in his heart, Suhlen stepped forward with a smile and reached out to gently hold Princess Phyllis's delicate little hand. Then, he kissed her hand according to the aristocratic etiquette that he had just learned. "Your Highness, I'm deeply fascinated by your charm."
Suhlen's elegant and gentlemanly movements were perfect. These etiquette were requested by an etiquette officer he had specially invited. In fact, in Suhlen's opinion, these etiquettes were completely superfluous. However, you have no choice but to learn. After all, when the Dukedom is officially established, if there are any problems with etiquette, you will become the joke of the entire continent.
Country bumpkins and barbarians were already considered good. Su Lun didn't want to become a laughingstock, so even if he didn't like it, he could only accept it. Unless one day they were strong enough to ignore these rules, they could only obey.
Looking at the maids of the Lord's Mansion, they were all looking straight ahead with no expression on their faces. It was all the work of the etiquette officer. Only Hathaway and a few other girls in Northern Town City were not restricted by this. After all, wizards were spellcasters, so they did not need to follow these rules. Wizards were not interested in doing these things.
"Mr. Suhlen, it's an honor to be welcomed by you," Princess Phyllis said with a smile. "You should know that there are many people in the Royal City who idolize you."
"Really? That's a great honor. "Suhlen held Princess Phyllis's little hand and walked into the Lord's Mansion together.
Bright lights, a spacious hall, elegant crystal chandeliers, delicious food, mellow wine, and beautiful music. Suhlen had prepared a grand welcome banquet.
The main characters of the banquet were Suhlen and Phyllis.
Phyllis knew very well why her father sent her to sign the agreement with Suhlen. In addition to forming a political alliance, another reason was to form a marriage alliance. An alliance agreement that was as useless as a piece of paper was not enough to make both sides trust each other. The best way to form an alliance, other than sharing common interests, was to form a marriage alliance.
At first, Phyllis didn't have much expectations for this political marriage alliance. However, as a princess of the royal family, she had to protect the interests of the royal family. Therefore, although she was very unwilling, she had to obey the arrangement and come to Northtown.
In her impression, this remote town in the Northern Wastelands should be the kind of place where the roads were muddy, there was a foul stench everywhere, the food was coarse and difficult to eat, and the behavior was rough. She could only spend her future in this kind of place. However, to her surprise, after arriving here, she found that Northtown was completely different from what she had imagined.
This place was even cleaner and tidier than the capital. Although it wasn't as prosperous as the capital, this place had only been built a year ago. It had only taken a year to develop to such an extent. If it was given a few more years, she felt that it might even surpass the capital. More importantly, her marriage partner was also unexpected. He wasn't the boorish barbarian she had imagined, but rather a handsome gentleman.
This made Princess Phyllis, who had been worried that she would be banished, very happy. As a princess, although she could enjoy all kinds of luxurious life that ordinary people couldn't imagine, most of them were used for political marriages. They had no right to choose their own marriage partners. Even if the other party was an old man with one foot in the coffin, they couldn't refuse.
Now that she saw Suhlen, she felt that she was simply too lucky to have met such a powerful, handsome, and gentlemanly noble. As a princess, she knew her fate. Since she couldn't change it, she would fight for the best conditions. Obviously, she was lucky this time and made the right bet.
Such a good resource, she must seize it. If she failed, she would be sent to another place for political marriages. She didn't know what kind of people she would meet. Next time, she wouldn't have such a good opportunity.
The lights flickered.
Suhlen and Phyllis sat in the study and had a simple discussion about the alliance documents. In fact, most of the main conditions had been decided long ago. This time, the discussion was only about some unimportant details. But why was Princess Phyllis's expression so strange? It seemed that she was a little infatuated.
Under the light, Phyllis looked at Suhlen with stars in her eyes. She also nodded and agreed to the conditions that Suhlen had just mentioned. Soon, the agreement was finalized, and Suhlen signed it.
Phyllis gently put down the file and looked up at Suhlen. Her eyes were a little complicated. There was surprise, excitement, and curiosity. On the way here, she had collected a lot of information about the Northern Wilderness. She had a preliminary estimate about this place. Not everyone could develop the Northern Wilderness to such an extent.
In just over a year, he had developed from nothing to the point where he was about to establish a duchy. It was impossible to predict how far he would go in the future.
"The agreement is signed. Let's celebrate." While Phyllis was still thinking, Suhlen stood up and took out a bottle of top-grade rum from the wine cabinet beside him. He poured it into two glasses. The amber liquid swirled back and forth in the glasses.
Handing one of the glasses to Phyllis, Suhlen raised his slender, white, and calloused fingers. He picked up the glass and swirled it a few times under the dim magic light. The rum in the glass was clear and transparent. Under the light, it shone with a mysterious fluorescence. The smell of the wine was strong and fragrant. Then, he drank it up.
Phyllis picked up the glass with her white, jade-like fingers, but she didn't drink it. She gazed at Suhlen with a complicated look. There was eagerness and expectation in her eyes. She hoped that Suhlen would be obsessed with her, but she was also a little hesitant and didn't know what to do.
Suhlen naturally knew the purpose of Phyllis' visit. He was very clear that the Florentine Royal Family wanted to form an alliance with him through marriage. They wanted to use this method to pull him onto their chariot. To be honest, they were very familiar with this method of marriage in Florence. Otherwise, how could the Duchy of Florence become the Kingdom of Florence? That was why so many nobles in the Kingdom of Florence had the right of succession to the throne.
Although this right of succession might not be used for a hundred years.
Originally, he refused this marriage. After all, who knew what the princess would be like? But today, he had completely forgotten about this matter. This marriage was really a good idea.
What did you say? I'm lusting after her body? Bah, this is obviously love!
Phyllis put down the glass and looked up at Suhlen. "It's really incredible. You've built a city here in only one year. I'm looking forward to seeing you continue to create miracles."
"It's nothing. I'm just lucky. "Suhlen smiled.
"I don't believe in luck." Phyllis turned around, got up from the stool, and suddenly got close to Su Lun. Su Lun could not help sniffing her tall and slender figure and her outstanding advantages. When she suddenly got close to him, Su Lun could not help but sniff a few times.
Phyllis pretended that she didn't notice it. She was still close to Suhlen. Although she was very tall, she was still much shorter than Suhlen. From this position, he could see her smooth shoulders, delicate collarbones and two mounds.
"You're mine!" Phyllis suddenly put her arms around Suhlen's neck.
"I should be the one saying that." Suhlen didn't hesitate to put his arms around her slender waist. Then, he turned around and pressed Phyllis against the desk.
At the same time, his other hand gently kneaded her smooth shoulders and then moved down little by little.
Phyllis's beautiful face flushed and became shy. Although as the princess of the marriage alliance, she had been taught in advance by her nanny. But this was the first time that she had used a real gun. Even her theoretical knowledge couldn't compare with Suhlen's, who was a seasoned spear master.
However, a newborn calf wasn't afraid of a tiger. Facing a spear master, she didn't want to be outdone and kept resisting. Facing this little white rabbit, Suhlen didn't hit her vital points. Instead, he showed his exquisite skills. After seeing Phyllis's face turn red, he shot out his spear like a dragon and went straight to the root of the problem.
