The whole universe knows that His Majesty has a crush on me

Then our eyes turned to the two dukes.

Among the nobles, it can be said that they lack knowledge, and it can be said that they have just entered university and have professional skills, but the following can be said to be wrong.

But — that’s all.

It is even said that it can easily impress relevant fans.

Especially since he was the Duke of the Empire who owned most of the Hyperborean galaxies - and he was also sitting on the most prosperous ancient galaxies in Cyreia.

The Gmelfell family controls its economic lifeline, and the Duke is shrewd and tough at home, but he has his say on the family's side.

Not to mention that I've never heard that you were interested in art from the ancient Blue Star era. Even if you really had a slender sword, could you say it was something of good quality?
There are so many good works in art colleges, why are we so rare?

Let's take a step back and say that if Duke Grimmfeld really wanted to draw you, he should have asked the question at the first moment instead of waiting for the first moment, right?
As for saying that the duke was giving face to the crown prince and was willing to intervene in the conversation between the former fiancée, it was obviously nonsense.

...It's obvious that he has been there before!

After thinking for a while, I came up with a reasonable excuse to strike up a conversation.

No matter how far-fetched our explanation is, the vast majority of people here have the same idea as us.

You looked up in surprise, "Your Excellency the Duke?"

"You can call me Gong Leo."
The blond man said calmly, "In fact, although your father's relationship can be traced back three hundred years, he is indeed a relative."

There were many people watching: "..."
The Duke definitely means the opposite to us!
The lords became more and more certain.

In good years, except for the direct blood relatives, the rest are relatives and can get married, not to mention that this conversation took place between two pairs of S-level.

　The degree of compatibility is usually higher, even if it is high, the bloodline is mixed when they are born, and the genes are relatively complete and stable.

The best type of marriage is for those who are looking for a highly compatible partner, want to have children with someone of the same level, and pursue the power of offspring. Of course, the above type is a more common choice.

It is common in B and A grades, and there is a similar situation in S grade.

Even some of them said they loved each other, but because they had no children, they chose not to be a couple.

As long as you know it, Duke Gumfei is probably interested in you Dukes, so he didn't specifically mention the relationship to get close to you!
You are a little surprised, "...Oh, actually, I know."

She had obtained the family tree, and although the relationships involved were too complicated and she had not memorized it completely, she had a general idea of ​​the blood relationship between her and her family.

There are many more numbers than we imagine.

She said she took the initiative to bring it up, but felt there was nothing to say, anyway - she was just a distant relative.

"So," Leo immediately said, "Can you give Gongdede a picture?"

You said: "..."
How eagerly you are waiting.

Anyway, she had already given it a try, so she simply put the censored picture back on.

The Duke of the Empire looked at the naked statue with a pale face, his eyes moving from the bottom of the body to the waist and up to the black hair, his expression seemed frozen.

The portrait just covers the face.

You said you were worried that the Duke would be able to come up with a prototype in his mind.

You coughed lightly, "I think you are good at skills, but I just entered college, so I will accept your opinions. But if your demands and criticisms are too sharp and harsh, or if they are too detrimental to your self-confidence and you say that you have no talent, I will just listen to you."

Leo came back to his senses, "In fact, I feel very wrong, and if I had said the following to you, I would really like to have a good chat with you."

You said: "..."

The audience in the room: “…………”

The dukes did not mock your painting skills, - we didn't have that kind of idea.

Even so, we still couldn't help shaking.

Then he became more and more convinced that a certain imperial duke was plotting something, so he went to try to please her.

“Okay,” you said dryly, “Is that okay?”

She wondered how she would refuse if the other party asked for a portrait of her face.

Leo nodded slightly, "Can you send it to me?"

The onlookers: “!”

What's the painting worth collecting?
Okay, can you please let me know your contact information?
There is nothing to hide!
You replied: “…………OK.”

Then the dukes really didn't add any friends.

“Thank you for being generous.”

Duke Gmelfeld spoke politely, looking at the blurred face below, smiling with dissatisfaction.

Although the smile below is a little subtle.

"So," the blond man tilted his head gracefully, "if you have time, why don't we have a drink on the boat?"

You didn't even blink, "What do you want to drink?"

Jue raised his lips slightly, "Of course it suits your taste."

You are so moved that you suddenly remember that you don’t have any favorites and you buy some exotic wines.

"The local specialty of Polya, the capital of Xibomer, is red glutinous rice, which is used to make wine..."

She recalled that she had started talking, but then she stopped.

Because Duke Gumfei was nodding helplessly, with an expression that he had never seen before when asked about pancakes.

"Of course, we have Feilu wine on the public ship, with various flavors and we have passed it on to the private manor. If you have a fine knife, you can use it as much as you want--"

You are obviously not interested.

She actually had too many things on her list to recommend, and many of them started with talking about food, and talking about food was just a matter of course.

Even though she now eats as much as several couples - it's the same.

"It must be better to sell it in stores. In fact, I just ordered it from your flagship store... but it seems to be on the way."

"If you're talking about the Pink Grass Winery, it's indeed a public property. There are some differences between the models sold outside and the special ones."

The two dukes chatted over the exotic wine. After a few words, Duke Gmelfell said he would be gone for a while, and then left like a gust of wind.

You look around.

Almost everyone in the room could see her, and their eyes were filled with "the two must have had an affair". Even the employees of the empire showed an incomprehensible shock.

They also glanced at the crown prince secretly, showing an expression that they were disappointed that the show was not going to go well.

As much as Ryan wanted to ignore the good uppercut.

But the Duke could have pretended to know.

So at this moment, the Duke’s expression was very interesting.

——Duke Grimmfeld said he might be able to defeat you?

But the good griffin always behaved impartially, relying on his strength and being arrogant and rude. He had never seen the lord be so polite to any of the Oles.

Even before the king - no good.

At first, Rui Rongan thought that your character and ability were not worth mentioning, and you were just like most mediocre and vain nobles, just lucky enough to have no bloodline.

Now that they have no spiritual body, the Duke has a slightly higher opinion of her and admits that they have some skills.

But so what?
Is it worth being looked down upon just because you are good? Is it important for you to be a Duke of the Empire?
Ole's mental physique and mental strength are even stronger than those of S-level. Of course, there are so many of them that Duke Grimm has never even looked at them.

But that's exactly what happened.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expression changed several times, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind over time.

Cross-border marriages between great nobles were not uncommon. As for the inheritance of surnames, it was simply determined by bloodline. We can refer to many precedents for the issue of nobility.

But what if you were to go up there with Duke Grimm?

Fortunately, he can fully awaken to S-level, and also has the original bloodline passed down from the Federation period!
If you think about it carefully, the dragon lizards of the Orleans royal family belong to the first generation of mixed blood. Although they are now stable, they still have the original bloodline of the first generation.

What's more, the Xibomer galaxy is rich in minerals and is the largest energy supplier to the empire. The Gumfe family is extremely wealthy, and its financial resources far exceed those of the Orlean royal family.

Rui'an couldn't help thinking that if his father heard about this, he would definitely try to stop him and Ruan Jiao even more.

As an unmarried couple, whoever can find a better partner than the other will be the winner.

Ruian Xingma is complicated.

The Duke did not understand his father, but knew that the King would definitely not want his son to "lose".

"Your Highness?"
The cousin next to him didn't touch Jue, "Are you okay?"

All the people around are watching, whether bright or dark.

"……nothing."
Ryan shook his head slightly, "Have you guys reconciled?"

Everyone turned their heads away.

They exchanged glances secretly, and even used their mental power to secretly chat with their sisters in their heads.

"Why do you feel that the Duke seems to be very pleased?"
"Uh, are you jealous?"

"Damn it, uncle said you should have some interest in me, and uncle used to say you were pestering me!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Your Majesty the King, you know very well what's going on in your heart, but you won't admit it. No matter how wrong you are, you can't let it go. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you should talk to your precious son. You won't know how to cherish something until you lose it..."

"You're so jealous, aren't you? You think you're strong all day long, and you think the boss can do whatever he wants. But after a while, you're so strong that you can't hold it in."
<容br>They said that they were observing the crown prince and found that he seemed to be completely unaware of the power fluctuations around them, which made them more and more convinced.

"Your Excellency the Duke?"
They said to the staff member cautiously, "You have not completed the registration and review, but your team member information... needs to be completed within 24 standard hours."

Well, everyone is immediately at peace with you again.

The name of the competition is "Joint Operations" because it is mainly carried out in small teams.

Although we didn't show off against S-level players until the late stage, but in theory, every team will have four shows, usually - against S-level players.

Well, it’s not the organizer who has to set the rules.

——The vast majority of those who are willing to participate in good competitions are S-level, and they want to take advantage of the opportunity to fight with more powerful people.

If we face another S-level team, it will definitely affect us.

Most of the S-level players go to the team alone, and some want to prove themselves, so they will not bring more opponents of the same level with them.

Do you remember the original? We had a good game.

As I said, when the Crown Prince is about to leave for the Empire to participate in the preliminaries, it will rain down and Ruan Jiao will not encounter any trouble.

The hero directly gave up the game and went to save the heroine and help her solve the problem. After all kinds of restricted descriptions, the heroine completed her first awakening.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not even look at her, "You and I didn't choose the right teammates, so what?"

Obviously, when we go up and down in the group with the Duke, we are his teammates.

And the Duke was not stupid enough to bring the heroine to the competition.

What's more, the Duke thought he had linked the game to Ole's face, let alone the possibility of bringing the heroine along.

So the team of Duke is A-level if the awakening level is very high.

You can vaguely feel that the next three are right, so you are wrong——

The nobles were looking at him intently.

At the same time, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Dylan took the lead and stepped in.

Behind them came another pair of silver-haired men, who looked alike to Dylan, but with similar facial shapes and statures.

Ryan knew the latter.

Below is Dylan’s uncle, and he is the current president of Tirnano University of the Arts.

"…Your Excellency the Duke."
The silver-haired man smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm late."

"Principal Yao," you smiled at Jue, "Have you bothered to come over?"

After a few more pleasantries, Principal Yao stepped back, revealing three young couples following behind him. "Sir, are you going to send your teammates off?"
< 容br>You received no relevant news when you arrived on the spacecraft, and seeing this - say hello to the lords.

The next three passed and responded very friendly.

Although it was the first time we met, because there were so many of us around, we tacitly pretended to know each other well.

The people around the crown prince looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although the nobles knew that the three of them were young, they could conclude that they were all A-level awakenings, and their mental strength alone was weak.

Principal Yao said to Ryan, "Your Highness, it's an honor to meet you."

Ryan glanced at Jue and said, "Good day, Mr. Yao."

Dylan's father said that he had no luck in returning to S-level, and he was not 70% compatible with the princes, so he was not born into a noble family.

The Crown Prince seems to be right.

After all, the nobles - Ruan Jiao never looked down on them.

——However, the younger man, through marriage with the prince and by being good to his son, made the entire Yao family prosperous.

Dylan's uncle is the president of one of the top colleges in Outlets, his aunt is the vice-minister of finance of the kingdom, and his younger aunt is a senior executive in the administrative department and is about to be promoted.

It is true that some of them are not as capable as us, but they are good-for-nothings.

Moreover, the dukes seemed to have risen to power naturally through the proper channels, and the people simply knew that the dukes were husbands of princes and their brothers and sisters.

I only know that the Crown Prince is better than them because they don't have the right to marry into the royal family, so they have to talk about the good opportunities. The Duke also said that his uncle Xiandao is better than the previous one.

——Of course, His Majesty the King is worse than the good. He is willing to be the mascot of the country. He interferes in elections and the appointment and removal of officials behind the scenes. He has done a lot of similar things.

Is it too much to be praised? Most of them are talented, but it's a pity that they don't talk about their quality.

Ryan and his father had done it several times, and his father had exposed several of his subordinates, and the two had experienced countless setbacks.

With Dylan as his uncle and his uncle as his brother, Ryan couldn't help but think of many bad things.

After the last companion completed the registration, the Crown Prince left quickly with his teammates.

The room became quiet again.

Dylan sneered, not caring about the people around him who had just arrived at the scene. He raised his hand to gesture to the black-haired girl in front of him.

"Dear, how about getting along with the old griffin?"

"Really?" You ignored Jue, "Jue is only a few years older than you, right?"

Dylan was very calm, "You are just an old monkey in my eyes - so the title of Lord must be worthy of the title, right?"
After saying that, Jue added, "Be careful, Xia Ji Lane is more treacherous than you think."

You looked around and hesitated to speak.

Dylan said without paying any attention to being heard by others, "The Duke has said many things to me in person. It doesn't matter. I just want to tell you that the downstairs are very..."

The Duke did not pull the corner of his mouth, "I will talk about the bad things that the Duke did later. I will finish talking about it in a while. Anyway, no matter what good things he said, you must be so arrogant. When he was on the battlefield and beside Emperor Serea, he turned from a griffin into a quail in a minute."

You held your forehead with your hand, "Who around you says is good? Can you give me an example of someone who did something bad and is still alive?"

Dylan was silent.

Dylan: "...You have met Prince Fenmore. Although he is very respectful, it is not so bad to meet him."

Principal Yao finally couldn't hold back and gave his nephew several looks in succession, ending the unpleasant conversation.

"Your Excellency the Duke," Principal Yao said softly, "There are only more than 5,000 students in our school, and the only one you see now is S-level."

The Duke had to bring three pairs of students to himself, "The Dukes and the A-level ones can deeply awaken..."

The principal looked a little sad, "Although we are fully awakened to A-level, we are busy with other things."

Do you understand?

Okay, Mr. Principal, if you can find it, it would be best if we can get three pairs.

Of course, the number of schools is limited, and there are other types of universities like Ole Military University. There are many experts, but even fewer willing to participate.

"Has your school never participated in the interstellar league and won any decent results—"

As Principal Yao was speaking, he glanced at his eldest nephew again, as if he was a little disappointed with him.

Dylan looked up at the sky and said, "Don't worry, sir, you've had enough of the battlefield, are you too lazy to go through this anymore?"

Jue Ji lacks experience, doesn't value fame, and even more so, needs to work hard to prove himself.

You said with a smile, "Mr. Principal, thank you and several examiners for working overtime during the holidays to admit me. I have worked hard, but I want to broaden my horizons. I cannot guarantee you what results I will get, so if I am eliminated early, don't blame me."

The principal shook his head. "Don't get me wrong, Your Excellency the Duke. Please don't put any pressure on us."

"Yes, yes, yes, we can go if we want, but without our S-level team, we can only make it to the semi-finals at best. We may not even make it to the preliminary round if we are lucky enough."
The leader said to his teammates, "Your Excellency the Duke——"

"Call me by my name."
Content
"Oh, as long as you are against S-rank, you will basically have no problem passing the preliminary round and entering the semi-finals. So, if the gentlemen don't touch you, you will be fine... As long as the gentlemen say they are strong enough, they may cause you trouble and hold you back."

"Tell me, tell me," you shook your head quickly, "You and I have deep awakenings, so I need your advice."

Everyone was so polite to you, and soon they became familiar with each other.

The guy who just said the most nonsense stretched out his hand, "Fuck Jiang Hao——"

They are slim, with flowing silver-blue curly hair on their heads, the top of their hair is silver-white, and the ends of their hair are gradient light blue.

When I arrived at the testing room, the wall lamp was on, and even the hair was flowing with a layer of shimmering light.

Her complexion was very white, almost transparent, with blue blood veins winding beneath her thin skin. She had a pretty and gentle face, and looked very harmless.

It didn't take you long to determine the gender of the person.

Through the thin shirt, you can make out the outline of the chest muscles, but if you look closely, there is no Adam's apple at all.

You say: “Hello.”

She shook hands with the other person.

Jiang Hao's fingers were cold, his joints were very soft, his skin was delicate and smooth, and when he held them it felt like grabbing a handful of tofu.

You have thought about it or not, anyway, you will get to know each other sooner or later, "Can I ask what your bloodline is? Just go to the science department."

Jiang Hao was lying down very freely, without hiding anything, "He was wearing a sea god branch."

You said: “……?”

Slug.
It's really hermaphrodite.

She slowly moved towards the other two couples.

The girl on the left has beautiful light purple curly hair, which is braided into a thick pigtail at the back, with the ends of her hair hanging down to her hips, and her hands are clasped together.

It's better than wearing a white shirt and a straight skirt, revealing her slender calves, delicate ankle bones, elegant standing posture, and a calm and gentle temperament.

You still haven't found anything on the other person's body that indicates gender.

As soon as the two shook hands, the other party took the initiative to speak, "Public Yao Ying, Ranunculaceae."

You almost didn't understand what the next word was.

It's so good that I've been surfing the Internet all day recently, and my common language vocabulary has improved greatly.

Now she at least knew that the other person was wearing some kind of angiosperm.

and many more.

You can immediately throw the gender issue aside, after all, the good bit is most likely a hermaphrodite...

She had never seen a plant lineage before.

You were so patient that you didn't even glance at me.
Yao Ying probably didn't misunderstand, "Dad said Rosaceae, and I called him that name because when he was born, his parents hoped that he would have the same bloodline as them, but his bloodline is the same as his great-grandfather's."

You nodded quickly, "Oh, I just thought the name sounded nice."

"Thank you," Yao Ying smiled, "I was wondering why you only asked about Ke?"

You can say, "Because we are not so familiar with each other, we may feel offended, and because of our limited knowledge and vocabulary, we may not know these bloodlines?"

Yao Ying didn't say anything. "Good. I feel offended when I say that. I'm talking about purple bird lotus and wolfsbane. If you say you've heard of it, then -"

You ended with: "...some kind of Aconitum?"

Yao Ying smiled again, "That's right, the orthodox ones are C-class, and the male ones are mutated ones are subspecies, so the full names of the bloodlines are slightly different."

Then it was not his turn to take the final seat.

The third couple was even more shy. They hadn't spoken a word since they first met and greeted each other. When they realized that they were not going to shake hands, they kept wiping their hands with tissues.

You said: "..."

The girls had red and white curly hair that was messy and fluffy, and their skin looked too white to be too healthy.

Although there was a hint of red, Xia Jue said that the body should be bloody, not to mention that it seemed like there was no heartbeat.

She or the Duke or it - was wearing a slightly heavy hoodie with disordered letter patterns on the chest and back. The sleeves and trouser legs were very long, covering her hands and ankles completely.

Whole body - only their faces are exposed.

You said: "So you are Qiu Tong, right?"

She remembered the names of the lower three pairs, and now only the top pair is left.

"Public," Xia Guo wiped his hands vigorously, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Duke."

"Is it okay for you to just touch me?"
You couldn't help but ask, "In fact, even if you just took out the liver, it seems that it has not been washed clean, so it doesn't matter."

"No, my husband rarely puts his hands inside my body."
Qiu Tong shook her head repeatedly, "It's just that something happened when we shook hands last time, so we have some psychological trauma."

If you really want to be a good person, don't force it. Anyway, there are some necessary steps to follow.

The other party has already stretched out his hand.

It's better to have slender fingers, so white and rosy, and give us a warm feeling.

But when you touch its skin, you can feel some temperature, or it's more like touching a living thing.

"Hypocreaceae," Qiu Tong whispered, "If you are interested, the flaming velvet mushroom and the red-horned Hypocrea are mutant subspecies."

You are silent.

She had a good impression of them because she had gotten a certain poisonous mushroom science video before she traveled through time.

Because the appearance of this kind of mushroom is very unique, and even a small dose can cause muscle and internal organs to dissolve, which is terribly toxic, so she had to remember it last time.

You said: “…………”
You said: "Are you openly participating in the Poison King Competition?"

……

The space station's anchor wheel is on the outer ring.
It's a remote and quiet anchorage area, and you can see the shadows of ships within a radius of several thousand meters.

Leo stood at the edge of the platform.
There are layers of transparent protective barriers in front of us, and then there is the vast and ethereal void.

The blond man stood there quietly, looking up from time to time.

"Where's the picture?"

A deep male voice suddenly sounded beside me.

Duke Gmelfell turned around and bowed his head to greet him, "Your Majesty."

In fact, Jue didn't explain it clearly. He could obviously send it directly online, so why did he have to go through so much trouble?

Of course, for some people, this is easy to do.

"..."

The black-haired man appeared and approached silently.

There was still no expression on his handsome and flawless face, and his eyes, which were dull and devoid of emotion, swept coldly over the Duke of the Empire.

It was as if there were a living creature right in front of us, and it was no different from the trash can in the corner of the platform.

A picture is projected into the air.

Kyle reached out and dragged the lower picture over, and put it together with the upper picture, but the combination was not complete.

Next, Leo finally got the face without a portrait.

——A man with black hair and silver eyes, sharp and beautiful eyebrows, delicate facial features like sculptures, and delicate brushstrokes outlining the deep contours of his lower body, and his eyes are clear as if they are filled with rainbows.

The body was completely naked, but because of the slightly sideways angle, some key parts were not exposed.

Leo: “…………”

Jue silently moved his eyes away from the line of the posterior hip muscles in the upper part, trying to make himself think about the state of the gluteus maximus when twisting his body.

Kyle looked at the next painting and said, "It's really good."

Duke Gmelfeld bowed his head silently.

Finally, the Duke decided to live his life without anyone knowing.

Who dares to say it again?

"No," Kyle said, "Did you talk to them?"

The tone of his voice sounded very casual.

Leo said that he only treated it as a small talk, "The Duke invites you to drink on the Duke's boat."

Kyle: “?”

In fact, I just thought that you were too good at speaking and were too willing to show a good picture, so I didn't ask more questions.

As for the content of her conversation with the Griffin, the Lord said he must know.

But the Duke in front of him seemed to have misunderstood.

Xia Jue - said he would mind knowing.

"Well," Kyle asked, "what is she interested in?"

"The best kind of rice wine..."

Duke Gmelfeld summarized the entire conversation quickly and succinctly, fearing that if he spoke too slowly or without being redundant, his memory would be directly checked. He felt very uncomfortable afterwards.

"Oh, I haven't drunk it," Kyle said thoughtfully, "I'll wait for you near the boat."

After saying that, he disappeared.

The Duke of the Empire raised his head, and there was no one around him.

Leo: "..."
Go down to the bottom and fall down.
