Mystery: Shadow of Order

In the banquet hall, Rawls, who also held a glass of champagne, silently listened to the increasingly outrageous stories of Earl Wolf's youngest son, Todd Wolfe, occasionally avoiding the waving little boy that Todd used to strengthen his tone. arms, showing an admiring smile.

Today, he was wearing a black tuxedo, a white vest, and formal pants. In order to express his identity, he specially chose a shirt with a hard lapel and a wide tie that his housekeeper used a fancy way of playing.

The silk tie is very easy to be loose and deformed because of the fancy style. In order to ensure that the beautiful folds on it are not deformed, a sapphire tie pin is used to fix it.

Rawls suddenly felt that someone was watching him, still wearing a polite smile, looking in the direction of his line of sight without a trace.

A young blond girl who was gorgeously dressed was standing near the floor-to-ceiling window, the curtain covered her face, and her eyes were directly on Rawls.

Rawls frowned slightly, raised his glass, nodded, and took a sip of champagne. Seeing the blond girl doing the same, Rawls, who nodded again, turned to Todd.

The teenage Todd Wolfe was still so obsessed with his half-truths that he didn't notice what Rawls had just done.

Rawls listened for a while, then looked in the direction near the floor-to-ceiling window again, and found that the blond girl had walked to the balcony and was whispering a golden retriever.

Audrey Hall?

Knowing that Audrey had become a "spectator" at this time, and there was a "fantasy dog" beside her, Rawls turned his eyes away and sipped the champagne in the glass.

There seems to be something wrong with today's banquet, doesn't it? At first I thought it was a Conservative party ball, and Earl Wolfe and the Conservatives he supported wanted to get a feel for me, and by the way, concerned about my preparations for the shooting.

At first, it was quite similar. Earl Wolfe, Earl Levitt, Lord Swine, and even Duke Negan came to the ball. But when Earl Hall appeared, something was wrong.

Although the relationship between the two parties has not yet developed to the point where they criticize each other, they are not close fraternal parties.

But now that Earl Hall, the biggest supporter of the New Party, actually appeared at the Conservative Party's ball, Rawls was a little confused.

This ball is not a simple aristocratic dinner. Looking at Duke Negan, who is discussing the current situation of the kingdom with several Conservative MPs, he is wearing the blue uniform of the admiral, and standing next to his blond secretary Locke Hader Sikayam.

If Rawls hadn't provoked a bipartisan war, he would not have been surprised that such a political dance would be held. We can’t talk anymore in the conference hall. We can talk about it in a more relaxed place. We can also talk about some things that can’t be discussed on the surface, and exchange interests with each other. This is why Backlund has so many dance parties.

But now, the two parties can be said to be in the "Cold War" stage. Knowing that they will fight with the other side after the trial of the case the day after tomorrow, they can still participate in the dance with their opponents today.

Is it a temporary reconciliation between the two parties? But I didn't get notified? Or the calm before the storm?

You are a novice after all, is it really difficult to understand the actions of these political creatures?

Last time, "The Hanged Man" in the Tarot Club said that cabinet ministers were all curly-haired baboons, even worse than curly-haired baboons. Rawls disagreed. In a high position, any action will be interpreted and magnified.

A strange color flashed in Rawls' eyes. What he saw, Earl Hall actually walked directly to Duke Negan, and the Conservative MPs beside Duke Negan quickly dispersed, making room for the two big men.

Duke Negan smiled and touched wine glasses with Earl Hall, who also had a smile on his face, and after Duke Negan waved his hand quietly, Rawls could no longer hear any sound from the two of them.

Rawls turned his head in disappointment, ready to talk to a noble with a good relationship to deepen the relationship. After all, as a kid at the prom, that's all I can do.

"Lawyer Adrian?"

Rawls stopped, feeling the feedback in his mind, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. With a smile on his face, he turned around and saw a blond man with gold-rimmed glasses walking towards him.

Duke Negan's secretary, Lockhard Sikayam, is also a spy planted by the Dusk Hermit Society in Duke Negan.

"Good evening, sir."

Secretary Lockhard had a smile on his face and extended his hand to Rawls:

"Good evening, Attorney Adrian, I'm Lockhard Sikayam, Duke Negan's secretary."

Rawls showed a little panic on his face, and walked up quickly, holding Lockhard's outstretched right hand with both hands:

"Ah? Mr. Secretary, good evening. I'm Rolls Adrian, a barrister."

Rawls released his hands at the right time and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Secretary, what do you want from me..."

"Oh, that's right." Lockhard's attitude was relatively cold~www.readwn.com~ but with a smile on his face, he glanced in the direction of Duke Negan, "Duke Negan knows that Adrian lawyer He is the youngest barrister in Backlund, and has his own unique views on legal issues, so he invited lawyer Adrian to the Carlton Club’s dinner next Friday.”

Is this Duke Negan's excuse? Or an excuse you want? Too far-fetched, right? Which lecturer you choose from the three Backlund Law Schools is better than me!

Although he is a "lawyer", Rawls really dare not compare with those lecturers who have been immersed in the Fourth Academy for decades.

The main members of the four major law schools are divided into supervisors, lecturers, external lawyers, and internal lawyers. The oversight of the college is often held by senior barristers or senior judges, who are responsible for recruiting, managing and teaching students.

They are called lecturers when they teach, and the content of the lectures mainly includes the explanation of important laws and regulations, the analysis of typical cases, and their own professional experience. Each of them stands at the top of the legal circle of the Loen Kingdom.

Rawls showed a sincere expression and asked tentatively:

"Really? I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the requirements of His Excellency the Duke."

Lockhard waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, His Excellency the Duke likes to communicate with young people the most."

Rawls slightly restrained his worried expression, gritted his teeth and agreed:

"Okay, I will prepare well. I will be there next Friday. Please Mr. Secretary thank Duke Negan for me."

Rawls looked in the direction of Duke Negan, who was still talking to Earl Hall.

"Of course, lawyer Adrian, I wish you a happy night."

Secretary Lockhard looked around at some noble women whose eyes were already shining, smiled and walked away.
