The Kingdom of Navia——the royal capital.
A magnificent palace, glittering with brilliance, displays unparalleled luxury, adorned with countless ornate decorations such as gilded crystal chandeliers, ivory carvings and silk curtains.
Against the backdrop of the night, it looks even more solemn and dignified!
A luxurious banquet is being held here, with all kinds of delicious delicacies exuding mellow fragrance and gorgeous plating, each dish is presented like a work of art.
Alan was still walking in front, while Gion and Kake and the others were attracted by the luxurious decoration.
Although the two are the second generation of officials in the headquarters, they spend most of their time honing themselves and rarely go to such occasions.
Although the Kingdom of Navia is located in the West Blue, its economic prosperity ranks among the top 30 among the many member states of the World Government!
It is simply due to the developed and mature trade methods of the West Blue.
Therefore, the banquets held by the royal family are also luxurious.
Not long after, Alan came to Gion with a glass of red wine in each hand, showing his gentlemanly demeanor.
"Captain Gion, how about having a drink with me?"
Then he looked at Kake with an apologetic look, as if to say sorry, I can only give you two cups, please help yourself.
Kake couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, staring at Alan with an unhappy look on his face. Damn, this guy is trying to hit on my Gion!
Gion also withdrew her gaze and took the wine glass——
Boom! !
The clash of wine glasses made a crisp and pleasant sound.
She took a sip with her small mouth, and a flash of surprise crossed her beautiful eyes. Even though she didn't drink often, she knew that the taste of that top-grade red wine was rich and layered, and it was definitely a top-grade wine!
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a crown and gorgeous clothes walked towards Alan surrounded by a crowd.
"It is such an honor to have Captain Alan here!!"
Alan looked back and saw that he knew this person!
Isn't it His Majesty the King who provided him with a large amount of "military expenses"!
Alan also came before King Darius and said with a little respect:
"Your Majesty, you're joking. Even if I don't come here, won't you still shine..."
Then he introduced them to King Darius: "You two are captains from the headquarters, Gion and Kake!"
After the two exchanged glances, they couldn't lose the navy's etiquette and saluted...
In this way, the banquet came to an end with several people praising each other.
"Master Alan, would you like to dance with me later~"
A beautiful woman with a charming figure and graceful temperament looked at Alan with a fascinated look on her face.
"I want it too, Lord Alan!" A coquettish voice sounded from not far away.
The next second, several noble ladies surrounded Alan, including Mrs. Mavis and Mrs. Diva. They were such a beautiful couple that people envied them!
This scene made Kake so angry that he could hardly suppress the envy and jealousy on his face!
Before, he only saw one Mrs. Dahlia and envied her so much, but now?!
How can it be repaired! There are five or six such high-quality mature women, all of whom are tall and charming. Not to mention their beautiful looks, they also have damn good figures!
I'm Kake, a mature, strong, and masculine guy! Why are they all surrounding that pretty boy Alan?
Alan eats so well!
"Shameless!"
Gion also took everything in, snorted coldly, and a blush crept up on her cheeks at the sight, but it was unclear whether it was because she couldn't handle the alcohol or for some other reason.
Of course, Alan also noticed the change in their expressions. He looked at them and felt as if he had fallen into a jar of vinegar, so sour...
Alan narrowed his eyes helplessly.
——It feels like you are eating and someone is staring at you without blinking. Can you still eat?
Then he slowly approached Madam Maya and whispered softly in her ear:
"...Madam, my colleague is from our headquarters... the son of a high-ranking official, with extraordinary potential..."
"...Don't you have a few good girlfriends?"
This scene made her face flush, and her crystal clear ears made Alan want to bite them.
Soon after, she ran away with a shy look on her face...
Then, Lady Maya and a few other noble ladies were seen whispering not far from Kake.
"He's a genius at the Marine Headquarters... He's even a captain. Don't be fooled by his forty-something appearance; he's only twenty."
"But, but..." A lady looked at her "best friend" with some embarrassment.
"But he's so ugly (ŎдŎ;), I still like the type of Mr. Alan..."
Maya glanced at her best friend with a charming look and continued to seduce her:
"Don't look at him like that, he's the son of a high-ranking official!"
"If you establish a relationship, wouldn't your master be connected to the Marine Headquarters?"
At this time, Maya seemed like a "good person" who always cared about her best friend.
The noble lady's eyes lit up when she heard this. Her husband's official position was already unable to advance any further. If...
She glanced at the wretched-looking Kake, thought about her husband's career and the mysterious place that had been empty for so long. Maybe this kind of man was really strong in that area! ?
Then, as if she had made up her mind, her tone became firm as she looked at her best friend.
"I-I know!! I'll go!"
She picked up the red wine on the table, her gait was elegant and dignified, and her aristocratic temperament was fully displayed.
A triumphant smile appeared on Maya's pretty face, and then she cast a wink at Alan.
At this time, Kake was holding a wine glass in boredom, looking at the noble ladies around him. At this time, he found a lady with a graceful figure and an alluring charm walking towards him.
The charm of the ripe peach was so strong that Kake stared at it and kept swallowing his saliva.
"You must be Lord Kake~" A slightly shy but still mature and charming voice sounded.
Kake finally came back to his senses, showing a self-proclaimed handsome expression, and his voice turned into a greasy bubble sound:
"Yes~ I am~ Kake!!"
The lady suppressed her strange feeling and introduced herself gracefully:
"My husband is a third-rank minister of the Kingdom of Navia... My name is Elle!"
Kake's eyes were full of surprise and astonishment that a mature, charming and graceful lady came to him.
The minister's wife!! That means a noble, a married woman, a young woman!!
Excellent, top quality!
Kake glanced at Alan with a smug look, only to see Alan give him a look that every man could understand!
At once, Kake knew that this was arranged by Alan!!
hateful--!!
I kept scolding him!
I am nothing!!
Don't forget me when you have good things!!
I, Kake, have decided that you, Alan, are my best brother!!
If you don't give up, I'd like to become your adoptive father!
