Blue Sword

Chapter 89 Dispute

Shortly after defeating the coalition forces of Cyrus, a grand celebration banquet was held in the royal palace of the Macedonian city-state. The nobles of the city-state who came to attend the banquet had already lined up in front of the palace.

After all, everyone can see now that with His Majesty King Philip's victory in this decisive battle, Macedonia's dominance in the Hires Peninsula has become unshakable.

As the king of Macedonia, His Majesty Philip has actually become the master of the entire Hilles.

It has become the unanimous consensus of the Macedonian nobles to please His Majesty Philip, or to please his successor, His Royal Highness Alexander, who has a bright future, and then obtain his own interests in the entire Macedonian-Hyres system.

And I heard that His Royal Highness Alexander has not yet designated a candidate for the future queen.

Many Macedonian nobles even initiated connections within the palace and made insinuations to find out whether His Highness Alexander had designated a female companion for this banquet.

The answer was surprisingly unanimous: it has been decided.

Who it is, no comment.

In the Macedonian palace, in a luxuriously decorated side hall dressing room.

"I'm a little dizzy." Paige said, covering her forehead.

"Miss, maybe the corset is too tight. Let me relax it for you." The maid immediately said with understanding.

"Sylvia, say it again." Paige said irritably, "Why do I have to go to that celebration dinner with your highness?"

"Because according to the customs of our kingdom, His Highness must be accompanied by a female companion when attending royal social occasions." Sylvia said with a smile.

"Of course, this does not mean that you have any relationship with His Highness, it is just an ordinary ceremonial companionship."

"Then why didn't you choose to go?" Peggy said.

"The family behind me is a little sensitive." Sylvia still smiled, "In fact, the reason why His Highness chose you is because you have no background power behind you, and you are as clean as a piece of white paper."

"His Highness hopes that this celebration banquet will be a purely military celebration banquet, rather than a political meeting that sends out some kind of sensitive signal to make other families suspect and test each other."

"For His Highness, such a political struggle is not only boring, but also an insult to the Macedonian soldiers who died in this war."

"I didn't understand." Paige sighed, "Forget it. Anyway, don't forget what you promised me."

"We are looking for Mr. Aske, right?" Sylvia said with a smile, "Of course, we will keep our promise."

"Please also remember Miss Paige: Your current identity is Andrea, a noble lady born in the city of Athens. In addition, if someone asks you for other identity information, you do not need to answer anything, as long as Just keep smiling.”

"It's so hard," Paige said.

Sylvia:………………

"Is there any difficulty?" Sylvia asked with a smile.

"It's tiring to pretend to be a noble lady, and it's even more tiring to smile the whole time." Paige complained, "Also, since it's a banquet, why aren't I allowed to eat? I have to deal with conversations that may come at any time during the whole process!"

Sylvia was speechless.

In fact, just to be the female companion of His Highness the Prince at the banquet, countless noble ladies from all over Macedonia are flocking to her, and the family behind her is even more willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to get this precious opportunity.

But the lucky owner in front of him seemed to have no idea about this and just kept complaining and grumbling.

It seemed that becoming His Highness's female companion was extremely troublesome for her.

"Please be patient a little longer. After all, the banquet is about to start, and it is not appropriate to change people on the spot." Sylvia could only be patient and reassure her.

Paige sighed, let the maid tie her hair, and began to puff out her cheeks in boredom in the mirror.

Half an hour later, Paige, wearing an evening dress, slowly came to the foyer in front of the banquet with Sylvia holding her arm.

His Royal Highness Alexander is already waiting there. He has a handsome appearance and a tall figure. He has a polite smile on his face. He is wearing a slim military uniform. He looks majestic. Even the maid standing next to him is also there. Peeping quietly, blushing.

"Your Highness, I brought your little moon." Sylvia said with a smile.

"Little Moon?" Peggy asked.

"That's the dialect of our hometown, describing a petite girl with fair skin and beauty." Sylvia explained.

"Thank you, Sylvia." Alexander nodded, and after watching Ms. Sylvia leave, he turned to look at Paige with a smile.

This mysterious girl who suddenly appeared on her phone a few days ago has no family background or social connections. Even if the Macedonian Ministry of Civil Affairs retrieved permissions from the large database in Athens, no clues related to her were found.

It's like it fell from the sky.

Royal advisors advised him to stay away from the girl. However, after this period of observation, Alexander can confirm that Miss Paige is just an ordinary girl.

She should have been educated by the lower class, literate and able to write, and had a certain accumulation of knowledge, but she knew nothing about upper-class etiquette.

There is no scheming in his personality, he is frank and straightforward, and he is a little tempered from time to time, which makes Alexander feel a little strange.

After all, in the royal city of Macedonia, there has never been anyone who knows his identity and dares to look at him.

"Miss Paige." Alexander said politely, "You look extremely beautiful today. I think the entire royal banquet will be graced by your presence."

"Your Highness Alexander." Peggy followed the etiquette taught by Sylvia and nodded slightly like a lady from Sirius, and then said unceremoniously, "You have too much powder on your face and it is extremely greasy."

"Is there a lot of powder on my face?" Alexander raised his eyebrows and touched his chin.

"Of course." Peggy said, "It's still falling down."

"I understand." Alexander nodded and said to the maid next to him, "Take me to the bathroom, I want to wash my face."

"But Your Highness!" the maid reminded him quickly, "the banquet is about to start!"

"It's okay to be late for a while. After all, I won the battle." Alexander didn't care.

After a while, Alexander came back after washing his face cleanly and asked Peggy, "What now?"

"It's much cooler now." Paige looked at him with a frown, "But it's still a bit girly."

She took off the ceremonial sword from the pillar next to her, handed it to Alexander and said:

"Hang it around your waist and hold it down with one hand, so you look cool."

"Like this?" Alexander tried to do it.

"Yes." Peggy looked at him, "Now he finally looks a little manly."

"Ask, whom you often mention, is usually dressed like this?" Alexander asked casually.

"Yes, he is a mercenary." Peggy said, "Of course a mercenary must carry weapons with him in order to deal with all kinds of unexpected dangers."

"But this is not a battlefield." The maid next to her covered her mouth and smiled, "This is the royal palace of the Macedonian royal city."

"What happened to the palace? Isn't there possible danger in the palace?" Peggy retorted, "Caesar was stabbed to death in the Senate!"

Who is Caesar? The maids looked at each other.

"Okay, okay." Alexander said with a smile, "I have done as you asked, Miss Paige, can you accompany me to the banquet now?"

Peggy frowned in displeasure. She felt that this man was like dough. No matter how she attacked him with words, she could not hurt him at all.

"After attending this banquet, you have to help me find Aske." Peggy emphasized.

"That's natural." Alexander nodded in agreement.

In fact, the people he sent almost searched the entire Thracian plain, but could not find such a mercenary named Ask.

Alexander bent his arms gracefully, while Peggy put her hand slightly on his arm with an unnatural look on her face, and the two of them walked into the venue accompanied by the maid.

As the Macedonian prince and his female companion, the pair received the eyes of all the guests the moment they entered the venue.

After all, he is the tall and handsome Prince Alexander, known as the "Golden Noble".

After a brief and decent speech, Alexander took Paige to the upper seat of the banquet table and sat down.

Peggy stared at the bowl of cream pudding in front of her, paused for a moment, and then quietly asked Alexander:

"Can I eat it?"

"Okay." Alexander also whispered to her, "As long as no one discovers it."

So Peggy picked up the spoon and began to quietly dig out the pudding in the basin to eat while everyone around her was drinking and chatting with each other.

Alexander watched her sneaky movements with great fun, and a smile appeared on his face.

After a moment, his expression darkened again, because a woman in luxurious clothes entered the venue accompanied by maids.

That was Cleopatra, the younger wife of his father, His Majesty Philip.

That is his so-called "little mother".
