Reject me, you damn woman.

The answer is simple, choose neither.

Miss Kaya is an extremely useful tool. She has the status of a noble, but has no emotional foundation with him.

But there was one thing that Lin En didn't expect.

Mistry was a semi-commercial family. He had originally intended to attract the Daramond Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with the Mistry Family Chamber of Commerce as a bargaining chip for Kaya's help at the banquet. But this girl didn't know what she had in mind. She enthusiastically stuck to him before he even mentioned the reward...

Never mind, it’s a good thing anyway.

Thanks to Kaya who stopped most of the nobles who wanted to chat with her, Lin En also had a moment of leisure.

Taking this opportunity, after confirming that no one was looking at him too obviously, Lin En wiped the silver brooch on his chest inconspicuously.

Then, he whispered to himself in a very low voice: "Can you hear me, Miss Theresa, what do you think of this banquet?"

"........."

"Ms. Theresa?"

Not getting an immediate response, Lynn couldn't help but ask again.

This thing won't break, right?

At this time, in Lynn's dormitory at Eden College, Theresa, who had already changed into tight night clothes and was fully armed, was watching everything at the banquet through a crystal ball.

At this moment, Miss Killer's resentment towards someone had reached its peak.

She never expected that when Lin En invited her to watch the banquet last night, he actually just wanted her to "watch"!

Its beautiful name is:

"I need a pair of eyes from outside to help me see the details that I missed."

What made Theresa even more upset was that the words he said to Kaya were all the same words he used to her!

The only difference is that the phrase "a person who can handle interpersonal relationships" is replaced by "a pair of sharp eyes."

Although Miss Theresa didn't want to admit it at that time, her heartbeat quickened slightly for a moment, and her opinion of Lin En also changed a little.

And now, she wanted to slap herself in the face for what she had promised Lin En last night.

Lynn Norton, this scumbag, he was too lazy to even block the connection with his own voice when he was using the same rhetoric to fool other people!

He still has the nerve to ask himself what he thinks!

Miss Theresa was angry, shaking, and cold!

If I have to say one thing, it is:

"You make me feel sick."

After getting the reply, Lynn finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, Miss Theresia, did you find anything?"

"........."

"Haha, don't be so angry, Miss Theresa. We are just in a cooperative relationship. I won't let you suffer any loss. Did you see the desserts on the banquet table?"

"So what if I saw it?"

Theresa became even angrier.

"They are all from my house, so I plan to pack some of them later."

"The man in the southeast corner of the banquet hall whose family emblem is a snake wrapped around a shield, he just seemed to be talking to himself a few times, and then he moved closer to you."

Theresa turned her head away.

She hadn't wanted to help.

But unfortunately this cunning little dragon gave too much.

Lin En followed Theresa's suggestion and raised his eyes slightly, only to see Kaya, who had been helping him deal with the newcomers, pursed her lips with a barely detectable anger in her eyes, as if she had seen something dirty.

Sergun Pole, patriarch of the Pole family.

It is also one of the eight major families in the imperial capital, and if I remember correctly, this family and the Mistry family are sworn enemies.

It seemed that it was this family's betrayal that made the Mistry family angry and turn to the Queen Mother.

Was it a king bomb at the beginning?

"Your Highness, my family has had some conflicts with another family because of certain things. Can I ask you for your judgment?"

Chief Bol bowed his head humbly and asked.

Lin En held the hand of Kaya, who was almost unable to suppress her anger, and replied with a smile:

"No interest, get out."

Chapter 109: Lin En is very good at mediating conflicts (5.3k)

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Dragon's Blood Festival is no different from other festivals of the year. Everyone drinks wildly, cheers hard, and then gets drunk. The next day, hungover, they continue to go back to the numb daily life of migrant workers.

But in the eyes of the nobles, the nature of the ceremony was completely different because of the existence of the dinner after the ceremony.

How naive a little cutie must be to think that attending a banquet is all about showing off desserts and courting a mate. For the real powerful people, a banquet is not about eating, drinking and having sex afterwards, but about the ways of the world.

As a unique banquet attended by almost all prominent nobles, countless deals, dirty tricks, consensus or other things are born at the banquet every year.

Especially this time, for the dignitaries of the five major families who were deeply stimulated by the disappearance of Savus and were inspired to express a certain attitude to the queen through "dragon hunting", the youngest prince Lin En was undoubtedly the most powerful person. Good goal.

For this reason, Lin En's latest version of information had already been placed on the desks of the patriarchs of the five major families.

A gifted arcanist, a brilliant scholar, an outstanding diplomat candidate who has tamed the Fire Rose Princess, and a top student and school bully.

Apart from the concentration of dragon blood which is worth criticizing, Lynn Norton is almost impeccable.

But unfortunately, this is a red line that everyone knows must not be crossed.

Your attitude in private is fine, but in an occasion like this, where half of the nobles in the imperial capital will be present, you openly mock the purity of His Royal Highness's dragon blood. Are you questioning whether His Royal Highness's dragon blood is his biological son, or that Her Majesty the Queen is incapable of giving birth?

This is not just touching the tiger's beard, this is simply slapping the red dragon in the face in public!

All the nine clans would praise you for being noble.

The five major families' staff had to look through Lin En's information dozens of times to meet the contradictory requirements of Party A, which required the royal family to lose face but not lose too much. Finally, one of the staff members, whose hair was almost plucked bald, had an idea:

"Lynn Norton, isn't she very good at social etiquette?"

Just wake up from a dream.

At this time, the staff of the five major families reviewed the resume of His Royal Highness the Prince and found that this newly rising His Royal Highness the Prince seemed to have no record of learning etiquette, a basic aristocratic course, whether in the absurd period of his childhood or the awakening period after entering the academy.

As for his disdain for aristocratic etiquette, it was visible to the naked eye, because Minister Traul, who was formerly known as the Queen's right-hand man, the Minister of the Palace, and also had the responsibility of teaching the prince etiquette, had been personally cut off by Her Majesty the Queen because he had offended Lin En...

In fact, as for aristocratic etiquette, except for some newly promoted nouveau riche, most of the old-established aristocrats are very disdainful of this "four ways to tie the straps of a whalebone skirt" thing, which is useless except for being cumbersome and inhumane.

But unfortunately, this thing is the type that you can disdain but cannot live without.

Lin En had almost nothing at all, and finally found a point of His Royal Highness the Prince that was worthy of attack. Just when the five major families were planning to use this as a stronghold to launch a fierce attack, unexpectedly, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lin En seemed to have predicted their prediction.

Prince Lynn Norton knew almost nothing about social etiquette, but he invited the person who was best at it to be his female companion.

Kaya Mistry, as the next head of the traitor family, the Mistry family, no one in the five major families has not cursed this girl, but they have to admit that her excellence and ability are beyond doubt.

Whether in her words, conversation, behavioral details or identity itself, Kaya is a leader among the younger generation.

Not only could Kaya quietly remind Lynn of the details he should pay attention to when the two of them were exchanging whispers, she could also personally deal with those young nobles who were ready to "ask for advice" from Lynn.

Her appearance turned all the personnel arrangements made in advance by the five major families, who wanted to embarrass Lin En by chatting him up, into stepping stones to highlight this pair of young talents.

As the banquet progressed, Kaya's outstanding performances time and time again meant that the number of chess pieces in her hand became fewer and fewer. In the secret arcane communication band of the patriarchs of the five major families, some people finally began to lose their patience and started to get anxious.

"Damn it, what benefit did that traitor's daughter receive that she would lick Lynn Norton so hard!"

"I said at the time that we should take advantage of Mistry's weakness to exterminate this traitorous family. It's all your fault for having to care about the useless nobles' face!"

"What's the point of saying this now? Do you really think the late emperor was an idiot?"

"Everyone, please listen to me."

A low and gentle voice ended the conversation, and the family heads' frequencies fell silent.

Because the person speaking is Isaac Morris.

Whether it was the eight major families in the past or the five major families today, Patriarch Morris is a well-deserved leader.

Even the idea of ​​continuing Saus's already ruined plan and trying to contact the Duke of the North, Reinhard, was boldly proposed by this head of the family.

And it turned out that every step he took was successful.

Although Reinhardt simply refused to participate in the discussion of this boring aristocratic game on the grounds that it was "boring and not interested", it was already great news as long as a consensus was reached on the "Dragon Hunting" plan.

And now, after Isaac, who had remained silent since the beginning of the banquet, spoke, the other family heads subconsciously remained silent and listened.

Unlike other anxious family heads, Patriarch Morris remained calm and confident:

"Please don't put the cart before the horse. Our goal is to lure the prince into a 'holy test'. The issue of the traitor Mistry is not something we should discuss right now."

"Moreover, the prince chose this young lady from the Mistry family as his helper. Isn't that also handing the handle to us? Don't you think so, Master Bol?"

The head of the Bol family, who was named, nodded with some excitement.

In fact, he has never participated in discussions about moving forward.

However, once the topic came to the traitorous family of Mistry, he knew that there would be an opportunity for him to perform.

"Then, let's do it for everyone's sake and open up his scars again to the betrayer, Mistry."

The head of the Morris family gave the order calmly.

"Everything is at your discretion."

The head of the Bol family smiled.

No matter what the traitor becomes or what high branch he climbs to, he should be severely humiliated!

Then, he walked leisurely towards where Lin En was and asked the prince for the so-called "judgment".

Kaya seemed to have guessed something. This usually elegant and calm girl showed the same vigilance as a female cat encountering her natural enemy when the man approached her.

However, the moment Lin En held her hand, an inexplicable sense of security enveloped her.

Lynn gave her a look and nodded slightly.

Kaya smiled slightly and stopped resisting. Since she had decided to be the sharp blade of His Highness, then she would listen to His Highness in everything.

She was also looking forward to how Lin En would deal with the difficulties posed by the head of the Bol family.

What the girl didn't expect was that in response to the head of the Bol family's "help", Lin En actually replied with a very rude "get out".

This answer is very unnoble and very impolite.

but,

Hearing this answer,

The girl laughed out loud with great joy.

The head of the Bol family's face darkened. He was not angry, but sneered: "What does your Highness Lin En mean by this? Are you going to deny even the contract between the first emperor and the eight pillar families?"

The so-called contract was the contract between the eight major families and the first Emperor Norton when the Purple Gold Flower Empire was founded.

In the beginning, the eight major families did not actually trust each other very much. They only united together under the personal charm of the first Purple Gold Flower Emperor, and the friction between them was constant.

In order to solve this problem, the original Dragon Blood Emperor signed a mediation contract with the eight major families.

That is, when unsolvable conflicts occurred within the eight families, the descendants of the Norton family would come forward to mediate. However, as the Norton regime became more stable and the relationship between the eight families changed from disliking each other to jointly resisting the imperial power, this mediation contract became little known.

But no matter what, this is a contract signed by the first Emperor Norton himself. If Lin En refuses to fulfill it, he will definitely be criticized.

At this moment, Lin En suddenly shook his head and said softly:

"Dear Uncle Pol, I'm sorry, maybe there was something wrong with the way I expressed myself, and I made you feel offended."

"Because I don't think your attitude seems to strictly abide by my adjustments. I think that if you only adjust on the surface, it is just a waste of time and it is unnecessary."

"I will abide by the contract and mediate the conflicts between the two of you with an absolutely impartial stance. But will you absolutely execute the contract?"

So he was waiting for me here?

The head of the Bol family was extremely disdainful of Lin En's attempt to make him retreat.
