"Dad,
what do you think?" Kangjian Duncan turned his eyes and looked at Duke
Duncan.
"When
a guest comes to visit, we naturally cannot lose our manners and invite him to
the living room to discuss." Duke Duncan said lightly.
Mark
Montgomery represents the Montgomery Palace. No matter what the other party is
thinking, he cannot refuse him.
As
for the so-called marriage, it needs to be carefully considered.
"Yes!"
The
housekeeper responded and left quickly.
"You
continue to eat, I'll go meet the people from the Montgomery Palace."
After
saying hello, Duke Duncan got up and left.
The
three Duncan brothers looked at each other and followed him without any prior
agreement.
They
wanted to see what the Montgomery Palace was up to.
"Okay,
okay, they can handle it, let's eat our own food."
Old
Mrs. Duncan smiled and said, motioning everyone to continue eating.
Three
minutes later, in the living room of the Duncan family.
Old
man Duke Duncan sat at the first seat at the main entrance, and the three
brothers of the Duncan family sat on the left, in order from oldest to
youngest.
At
this time, the housekeeper led a few people and walked quickly into the living
room.
The
leader was a young man with a handsome face, excellent temperament, and a pair
of bright eyes, which sometimes showed a gleam of light.
This
man was Mark Montgomery, one of the four young masters of Stonia, known as the
Jade-faced God of War.
Behind
Mark Montgomery, there was also a white-haired old man and two strong
middle-aged men.
The
white-haired old man was about the same age as Duke Duncan. Although his face
was haggard, he was full of energy.
When
he walked, he took a square step and put his hands behind his back, which was
quite domineering.
The
old man was Wuchang Montgomery, the uncle of Prince Montgomery and the
grandfather of Mark Montgomery.
In
the entire Montgomery Palace, Wuchang Montgomery has a very high status. Almost
no one dares to offend him. Even Prince Montgomery has to show respect when he
sees him.
As
for the two middle-aged strong men behind Wuchang Montgomery, they are guests
of the Montgomery Palace, masters of the Grandmaster level, and their status is
also good.
However,
here, they can only play the role of bodyguards.
"Junior
Mark Montgomery, meet Duke Duncan, meet the three uncles."
After
entering the door, Mark Montgomery bowed politely.
He
was smiling and graceful, and he looked very pleasing at first glance.
"Why
didn't you notify us in advance that you are a distinguished guest so that we
can prepare early." Duke Duncan smiled faintly.
"Junior's
visit is really a bit abrupt. Please forgive Duke Duncan." Mark Montgomery
bowed again.
He
naturally heard the meaning of Duke Duncan's words, but he did not pretend to
be stupid, but apologized very frankly.
This
attitude surprised the three brothers of the Duncan family.
Based
on their understanding of Mark Montgomery, he is a person who is very arrogant.
At
a young age, he holds a high position, commands a large number of troops, and
is very arrogant.
Although
he is not arrogant, he is also a master who is arrogant.
When
he came to visit today, he did not show his former sharpness at all.
Has
he become mature and restrained?
"General
Montgomery is visiting the Duncan family. I wonder if you have any
advice?" Duke Duncan got straight to the point.
"Before
explaining the purpose of your visit, let me introduce you first."
Mark
Montgomery moved aside and then extended his hand to the white-haired old man Wuchang
Montgomery: "This is my third master. He is highly respected in the Montgomery
Palace, but he usually stays at home and rarely shows up."
"So
it's the third master Wuchang. I have heard of your name for a long time."
Duke
Duncan stood up and clasped his fists.
He
had naturally heard of the name of Wuchang Montgomery, the third master of the
Montgomery family.
Although
he was not as famous as his two brothers, he also had a heavy weight in the Montgomery
Palace.
"It's
been a long time since I last saw Duke Duncan. He is still strong and healthy.
Today, I see that he is indeed as good as his reputation says." Wuchang
Montgomery politely returned the greeting.
But
there was no smile on his face, and he looked quite stiff.
In
fact, in his heart, he didn't take Duke Duncan seriously at all.
Looking
at the whole Stonia, the Montgomery Palace is the supreme existence second only
to the imperial power.
Among
the four major royal families, the Duncan family, the Bryant family, and the
Spanner family all have to stand behind.
Especially
the Duncan family, the weakest force among the four major royal families, is a
world away from the Montgomery Palace.
Although
Duke Duncan is in a high position, in his opinion, he is just a dying old man
who will not live for many years.
Once
Duke Duncan dies, the Duncan family will be in a period of transition and will
become even weaker. At that time, they will not even be qualified to carry
shoes for the Montgomery Palace.
"Mr.
Wuchang, thank you for your compliment."
Duke
Duncan could see Wuchang Montgomery's cold attitude, and said with a fake
smile: "General Montgomery invited Mr. Wuchang this time. I think there
must be something important?"
"Duke
Duncan has a keen eye. I admire you."
Mark
Montgomery first flattered him, and then said: "I am here on behalf of the
Montgomery Palace to discuss marriage with the Duncan family."
"Marriage?"
Duke Duncan raised his eyebrows and did not continue.
"Yes,
marriage."
Mark
Montgomery smiled and said: "Throughout the ages, marriage has been the
best choice to enhance the relationship between the two families and maintain
power. The Montgomery Palace and the Duncan family are both one of the four
major royal families. If our two families can have a marriage, they will grow
stronger in the future."
"Is
this your idea, or your Lord Montgomery's idea?" Duke Duncan asked
tentatively.
Royal
marriage is not a trivial matter.
If
it was a collateral line, it would be fine. But if it was a direct line
marriage, it would easily cause the royal family to be wary.
As
the saying goes, the merits are greater than the master. Once the royal
families unite and work together, they may threaten the imperial power.
In
this regard, the four royal families and the royal family have maintained the
same tacit understanding. From beginning to end, no one has crossed this red
line.
And
today Mark Montgomery secretly came to the door, obviously to climb up on the
red line.
So he had to figure out, is it Mark Montgomery who is determined to do it? Or is Lord Eugene Montgomery ambitious? - Ton
