Chapter 599: 595 – The King’s Invitation

Chapter 599 – Zhang 595 – The King’s Invitation

Alda had opened an office in Jingyao a long time ago for the king’s capital to recruit talents from all walks of life.

Paul and Myron stayed in the office after arriving in Jingyao, while some of the other lords stayed in their relatives’ homes in Jingyao, while some had already purchased their own mansions in Jingyao.

In addition to a group of lords, with Paul and Mellon and other people accompanied by a large number of people, there are secretary Bernard, agriculture minister Hansel, Laddie Sertia, chief of guards Victor and many of the guards, Bernard and Hansel was originally Jingyao people, this time back to visit relatives.

After entering the city, Bernard and Hansel went back to their homes to visit their relatives first.

After settling down, Paul and the others, led by the office personnel, strolled around the nearby neighborhoods before returning to the office to rest.

“Orders from the palace.” When they returned to the office, the person in charge here, Garrix, told Paul and Myron, “If the two of you have arrived at Jingyao, please come to the royal palace the next day as guests.”

“So soon?” Paul was a bit surprised, “Shouldn’t all the lords and emissaries arrive and go together on a certain day to have an audience with the new king?”

Garrix joyfully told him, “Apparently, our new king’s majesty treasures his personal friendship with you.”

As the head of Arda’s office in Jingyao, Garrix was aware of the special relationship between the new king, Rodney XVIII, and the Northwest Bay.

After receiving the order from the royal palace, his heart was very happy, which meant that his lord was very important in His Majesty’s heart.

Paul asked, “Have the other lords received any news?”

Garrix shook his head, “It seems to be no.”
—
The next day, Paul and Myron led Victor and Lardy and the others to the gates of the palace.

The people surrendered their weapons, leaving their powder weapons at the office to avoid trouble, and went through another search before actually entering the palace.

A palace attendant led them into a parlor.

“Quite a nice place for His Majesty the King to live in!”

Paul said to Myron and the others with a smile as he admired the interior decorations.

“I’m glad you like my parlor, Paul.”

A cheerful voice came from outside as His Majesty Rodney XVIII, the new King of the Kingdom of Aldo, walked in with a smile.

Recognizing the voice Paul immediately bowed towards the doorway as did the others.

“No need to be polite, no need to be polite, gentlemen, let’s just get along today as we did back in the Northwest Bay. Paul, Myron, and the beautiful Lady Sertia and Squire Victor.”

With the exception of Paul, Rodney was the eighteenth to call everyone by name, although he had only met people other than Paul a few times in Northwest Bay as well.

“As you wish, my liege.”

Paul’s mouth obliged, slowly raising his own head.

Whoa!
He visibly felt his heart flutter gently a few times.

Paul’s eyes were drawn to a figure behind the king’s side.

This was a woman who was beautiful in every aspect, she wore a head of bright blonde wavy hair that fell softly over her shoulders and behind her back, a pair of sapphire eyes dotted aptly on her fair googly-eyed face, her eyebrows were slightly thicker, revealing a sense of Englishness that was not found in ordinary women, and below her straight and beautiful nose were full, red, and a little bit evocative lips, and this perfect face was supported by a curved and graceful slender neck. Elegant slender neck is supported, and then down …… ahem.

Paul retracted his line of sight, old staring at others, especially a beautiful woman will be regarded as an offense, and the identity of the other side is likely to be a member of the royal family.

To pay attention to the image! To pay attention to the image! Paul repeated in his mind.

Of course, the amazing fullness and beautiful curves were still firmly burned into his mind. “Haha, all of you, please have a seat!”

Rodney XVIII stretched out his arm and made a gesture of invitation, but a playful smile appeared on his lips, as he had focused his attention on Paul as soon as he entered the door, so he caught the obvious stagnation in the other party’s eyes.

The crowd resumed their seats.

Rodney XVIII addressed the crowd, “Let me introduce,” he said, reaching out toward the female at his side, “this is the daughter of former King Rodney XVII, my cousin, Princess Catherine Rodney.”

She turned out to be the famous Princess Catherine, and the crowd from the Northwest Bay greeted the princess with some formality.

“Gentlemen, I’m so glad you were able to come to Jingyao, especially now at this time ……”

Catherine fell to respond to them, but her voice contained a hint of sadness, she hadn’t gotten over the shadow of her father’s death yet.

“It is our duty and responsibility.” Paul replied on behalf of the congregation.

“This is Earl Paul Graiman.” Rodney XVIII pointed to Paul and introduced him to Catherine.

Catherine’s eyes lit up as she looked over at Paul, “So you’re Count Greiman.”

“Yes, Your Highness Catherine. In the Northwest Bay, I have often heard of your deeds.” Paul replied with some embarrassment.

“I’ve heard a lot about you too, especially from me ……”

Catherine almost blurted out her sister, but stopped, as if her sister had not made herself known to the young earl.

“Thank you for the rations and weapons you provided to the royal army during the civil war, and for the technology and markets you provide now.” She changed direction just in time.

“It is my due as a bannerman of the kingdom.”

Paul replied somewhat politely, thinking to himself that he had earned a lot from the royal family as well.

King Rodney XVIII introduced Catherine to Myron and the others one by one again.

“It’s incredible.” After exchanging pleasantries, Rodney XVIII said with emotion, “It was only four or five years ago that the Western Bay was still an unknown place to us who lived in Jingyao. Ah, I hope you guys don’t mind me talking like that.”

Myron said, “Your Majesty is describing it objectively, and we know in our own hearts what the northwest bay was like in those years.”

The King smiled, “And today, the Northwest Gulf is the land of wealth and opportunity, a miracle, I must say. And as far as I know, the center of the miracle is you two counts.”

Mellon shook his head and said matter-of-factly, “Your Majesty, in fact, the main Paul, I have merely made some investments in accordance with the methods he has instructed me.”

Paul immediately said, “Your Majesty, the investment of the Garnard family is an important guarantee that some of my ideas in the early stages can be realized.”

The king’s smile intensified, “It seems that you are all people of high moral character, and I am glad to have bannermen like you.”

He turned his gaze to Paul.

“Count Greiman, I hope to replicate the miracle of the Northwest Bay throughout the kingdom, what do you think?”

Breathless, why do I keep making typos lately and can’t change the title ……
