The three royal family members in the conversation quickly noticed Xia De. The two princes of Delarion, Marius Cavendish and Derrick Cavendish, showed surprised expressions, and then said respectively:
"Look, it's Reggie's Hamilton."
"Good morning, knight, are you waiting for your father's summons?"
They could all recognize Xia De just by his face, and shook hands with Xia De very warmly. Of course, Rezia also greeted Xia De, but she only called Xia De "Knight Hamilton" and did not shake hands with him, acting like a very reserved lady.
"Good morning, Your Highness."
Shad also took off his hat to pay tribute to the successors of the kingdom.
"Who is father talking to now?"
Twenty-eight-year-old Marius Cavendish asked the **** attendant, who said respectfully:
"The Marquess of Cornell is inside."
The Marquis of Conor is currently presiding over the work of the Kingdom's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Xia De has seen him in the newspaper.
"I guess it must be that Marguerite Anjou is about to visit."
Derrick Cavendish, who is thin and even shorter than Rezia, said:
"I received word that I had planned to visit by train, but now Kaserik has changed his mind."
"Do you want to take a boat and land from Lengshui Port or other ports?"
Rezia asked, when she came back in the summer, she left the country by boat from Kasenlik.
"I heard that it cost a lot of money. I borrowed a steam airship from the Church of Creation."
Derek Cavendish, wearing glasses, said to his sister:
"This kind of diplomatic visit also has the nature of comparison. Probably the other party wants to overwhelm you."
Rezia's expression remained unchanged:
"Considering political factors, it seems that she came here with a political mission and wanted to apply pressure in advance. Those southerners are really naive."
"Knight Hamilton, what is father asking you for?"
The eldest Marius Cavendish asked Shad again, and the other two looked at him curiously, Shad shrugged:
"Sorry, I don't know either."
He looked at the **** in the red coat, who shook his head slightly.
"Knight, I watched the latest "Hamilton's Detective Stories Collection". In the steam and smog city, we shuttled through the streets and alleys to fight against evil and maintain justice. The life of a detective is really rich and interesting."
Marius Cavendish said again, and patted Shad on the arm:
"If you have time, you can come to my literary salon and share some of your stories with my friends. We are all very curious about you."
If it was said that Agelina's salon wanted to invite Xia De because the little princess simply wanted to show off her relationship with her friends, then the invitation of His Highness the Prince must have political implications. The outsider is not a fool, so he smiled and nodded at this moment:
"If I have time, I will definitely go."
"She" smiled in Shad's ear.
"Knight, our sister Mona is getting married next week. Has Aunt Galina sent you an invitation letter?"
Derrick Cavendish also asked enthusiastically:
"If you haven't, I can give you one, it will be very lively."
"The duke has invited me."
Xia De responded again, in fact, Miss Galina hadn't mentioned this matter yet, it was Rezia who had said it.
"Then we'll see you at the wedding. My aunt trusts you very much. I think we can also be friends."
The two princes exchanged a few more words with Shad. During this period, Rezia did not take the initiative to communicate with Shad. Prince Marius Cavendish explained with a smile:
"Rezia is usually so unsmiling, she is very indifferent to strangers, please don't mind."
"Of course I don't mind."
Xia De said, trying not to look at Laisia, and Prince Derrick said jokingly:
"This is very similar to Aunt Galina."
Even if he didn't look at Rezia, Xia De knew that Her Royal Highness must be angry.
Seeing that it was too late to wait for the meeting between the king and the marquis to end, the princes took their servants to leave. Before turning to leave, Rezia gave Xia De a helpless smile, followed behind them, and left along the red carpeted corridor.
Looking at Rezia's back, Xia De wondered what kind of image he was among the nobles of Tobesk because of the rumor of "the Duchess' lover". Then it occurred to her that Miss Galina had never had any intimate scandals with any man since she was an adult, and since Xia De started to have a relationship with Xia De, she seemed to have ignored other men.
Xia De thought hesitantly, and looked at the **** attendant again, who showed him a humble smile:
"Knight, Your Majesty may have to talk to the Marquis for a while, I think we still need to wait."
The outsider nodded, recalling in his heart how miraculous he had been getting involved in the political center of the kingdom step by step in the past six months.
After waiting for an extra hour, the door of the king's study was finally opened. The gray-haired old gentleman who came out of it was the Marquis of Cornell.
He was holding a file bag in his hand, and when he saw Xia De at the door, he even recognized him. When the **** entered the study and asked if Xia De could enter, the Marquis politely exchanged a few words with Xia De about the recent weather, and then patted him on the shoulder meaningfully. He found that Xia De's muscles were tight, After the game was very stable, he also praised:
"Young people today are no worse than those in my youth."
"How do you know me? I remember that I don't have a frontal photo to leak out."
Xia De quickly got permission to enter the study, and after straightening his collar, he stepped into the study.
This is still the room where Shade was summoned after taking a bullet for Queen Diana on the street in the summer. The size of the study is huge, the desk is placed in the middle of the study, and the king's back is facing the colored floor-to-ceiling windows behind, making the room look empty but extremely oppressive.
Obviously, when he came to see Larousse III last time, the outsider didn't have any special reaction, but this time he felt a little embarrassed for no reason. This is not because Xia De was intimidated by secular rights after he came to this world, it may have something to do with his intimate relationship with the other party's daughter.
"Long time no see, Hamilton of Reggie. Have you been waiting outside for a long time?"
"Long time no see, Your Majesty. No, just for a while."
Whether it's because of Leiziya, or because the other party sends him money every month, Xia De is extremely respectful:
"wish you healthy."
"Let's talk business."
The king, who was shorter than Shad and wearing a crown, asked the **** attendant at the table to move a stack of documents to the bookcase by the wall. He snapped on the golden pen cap, and then finally looked up at Shad.
I have to admit that this series of actions made him look extremely majestic:
"Sir Anlos recommended you to me, thinking that you are an excellent agent of MI6. Now, there is a very difficult task that needs to be entrusted to you. This task may not be completed, but it is not allowed to leak the secret."
"Please trust my loyalty."
Shad said, and somehow the Gray Gloves slogan "Forever Loyalty" jumped into mind.
"Yes, Hamilton of Regard, there is no doubt about your loyalty. The Duke of Saladir can vouch for you."
The king nodded slightly, took the document handed back by the **** servant who came back from the bookcase, and put it aside casually. In fact, in addition to Xia De, the king and the red-clothed attendant, there are also two armored guards inside the door, but the latter two are no different from the statue.
"The information you got about Fort Midhill during your time in the big city player is very accurate. MI6 almost caught the big fish... almost."
Larousse III seemed to recall some bad memories, and frowned slightly.
Shad knew that the king was very dissatisfied with MI6's actions in Middleburg. It seems that MI6 finally figured out which one from Kasenrik appeared at the Middleburg train station that day.
Unfortunately, he was actually the one who diverted MI6 agents away at the Mibao train station that day, allowing the foreign princess to leave in time. Probably because Xia De got that precious information and proved his worth, that's why this mission was given to him.
"I don't know if Gray Gloves will let 'Gray Eagle' do something during the princess' visit."
Xia De thought silently, and almost the next moment, Larus III behind the desk really mentioned the "Grey Eagle":
"The latest information, the information that only An Luosi and I know, during Margaret Anjou's stay in Tobesk, it is possible to communicate with Grey-headed Eagle..."
Xia De was startled, and thought of "her" laughter:
"I do not know how?"
"...you need to socialize with Margarita Anjou, and find out who she's interacting with during her visits to Tobesk."
Of course, Xia De is not the only one who is doing this work~www.mtlnovel.com~ Xia De's colleagues will definitely work hard. But only a person like Xia De, who has nothing to do with MI6 on the surface, can appear in social situations, and seems to be very skilled with ladies, is suitable to carry out this operation in the open.
The secret agents of the Six Offices secretly contacted Princess Carsonrick. Once it was discovered, it would be an international scandal. Therefore, this task was carried out by the king himself and Xia De. I am afraid that apart from him and Director An Luosi, not many people know about Shad's mission.
"I see."
Shad nodded.
Larousse III emphasized again:
"We believe that the gray gloves of Carson Rick will also act during this period. For the specific arrangements and the help you need, just talk to Sir Anlos. Duke Galina thinks highly of you, I think You won't let us down."
"Yes."
Shad nodded again, wondering if arresting himself was a feasible solution.
Thus, the second private meeting between Xia De and Larousse III ended simply like this. He accepted verbal encouragement, accepted a weighty task, and got a verbal promise of "if you perform well, after this matter is over, you can be promoted".
There will be a series of plans and conspiracies surrounding "Princess Marguerite of Anjou's visit to Tobesk". And the outsiders who live in Saint Teresa Square, where you can directly see the Jodl Palace, are involved in the waves of politics because of their generous salaries.

ps1: I need to explain here, except for the personal servants of Adelina and Rezia, no one knows the relationship between Xia De and Rezia, so Xia De is currently just "Saradir's daughter Duke's lover.
ps2: It is still a double monthly ticket, please ask for a ticket.
