Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112: I Like It a Little Rougher (Part 2)
Walking at the front were Gan Yuan and Huangfu Jue, followed by Huangfu Qi lazily inserting his hands into his pockets, with Admiral Yuri right behind him.
The few councilors had already received information beforehand, knowing that Yuri would attend today’s banquet, so they weren’t too surprised. However, their gazes on Huangfu Qi carried a searching quality.
Even those unfamiliar with him could guess from his similar face to Huangfu Jue that he was the brother of the Duke.
However, at this moment, his sudden appearance, especially alongside General Yuri, inevitably led everyone to speculate that Yuri’s presence might be related to this Prince.
“Let me make an introduction,” Gan Yuan spoke with a smile, “This is Ajue’s younger brother, Mr. Huangfu Qi.”
The few councilors had already left their seats to greet him, exchanging pleasantries and shaking hands.
They inevitably spoke words of long admiration and great honor, to which Huangfu Qi responded one by one. As a member of the Royal Family, he naturally handled such situations with ease.
After a moment, they returned to their seats, and General Yuri courteously followed Huangfu Qi, only sitting in the seat below Huangfu Qi’s after he was seated.
This detail certainly did not escape everyone’s attention. When they looked at Huangfu Qi again, their gazes carried even more complex meanings.
Everyone knew General Yuri’s character; he was always arrogant and rebellious, often deflecting royal orders with excuses. This time, not only did he bring troops, but he also personally visited the Royal Palace to see the Princess. Surely, there must be some twist in this matter.
Now it seemed likely that it was very much related to this newly arrived Prince.
Noticing the wound on General Yuri’s neck, people couldn’t help but speculate, but of course, they only thought about it in their hearts, and no one would truly say it aloud.
Huangfu Jue looked at the empty seats by the table and turned to Helen.
“Where are they?”
“The servants have been sent to invite them, they should be arriving soon!”
Are there more guests?
The councilors’ gazes fell on the two empty seats; the seating arrangement had been carefully planned, and these two seats were relatively prominent. Could it be that these guests were also distinguished?
While everyone was still puzzled, the dining room door was opened again by the servants, and then two figures appeared at the hall entrance.
One man and one woman. The man was tall and handsome, the girl was charming with a regal aura, and especially striking were her golden eyes, which were more dazzling than her exquisite attire.
The crowd was first amazed by her beauty and uniqueness, then noticed the tall young man beside her, and all gasped in surprise.
Prince Andre? He came too!
In the midst of everyone’s astonished gazes, Chongchong smiled, took Andre’s arm, and gracefully curtsied to everyone as they entered the dining room.
“We truly apologize for being a bit late. We hope the councilors and General Yuri don’t mind.”
“Princess, you’re too gracious!”
“Indeed, you’ve arrived right on time!”
…
Only then did everyone come to their senses, smiling as they stood up to return their greetings to her and Andre.
“Please sit down!” Gan Yuan said with a smile.
Leading Chongchong to the table, Andre proactively pulled out the chair on the left side, yielding the prominent seat to her. After she was seated, he sat on the chair below her.
