In Size's blue peach eyes, there was only Bertha. He politely extended his hand to her: "Beautiful Miss Bertha, may I invite you to dance?"
Bertha's red lips were slightly parted. As she was about to answer, Bruno spoke first: "Invite my female friend to dance? Guy Size, you dare to do this, right?"
He glanced coldly at Size, then slowly extended his hand towards Bertha.
'Bertha, the dance floor is so busy, let's go over there and play together, okay?"
Bertha looked at the two men in turn. She took their hands and placed them in each other's palms.
'I don't know how to dance, you two go out, I need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back."
Bruno was uneasy: "The royal palace is huge, you can easily get lost, let me ask Jamie to take you there."
Bertha's delicate eyebrows frowned tightly: "You told a tall man like Jamie to go to the bathroom with me? This is very strange, I have found the way, if I really can't find it, I will ask the maid."
"But…"
Bruno was uneasy: "Then I'll go with you, I'll be outside waiting for you."
Liam quietly followed behind, holding his breath many times. This Bruno is too vigilant, it is not easy for them to deceive him.
Bertha is thinking of a way to refuse so that Bruno won't get suspicious.
The princess's maid suddenly passed by: "Young master Charles, the princess wants to talk to you."
Bertha took the opportunity to say: "The great princess is looking for you for something important. Please go quickly. I'm just going to the bathroom, can I run away?"
Bruno's face showed confusion, but in the end, he still compromised: "Then take care to be safe, I will come to find you soon."
Bertha nodded in agreement.
Bruno immediately followed the servant and left.
As soon as he left, Bertha immediately approached Guy Size and whispered: "Where has Duke Gaye gone? Please take me to him. I have serious business."
Size said seriously: "Miss Bertha follow me."
Gaye Harold had been resting in his room since early on.
After Bertha entered, Liam walked back and forth as if nothing happened in the hallway, helping to observe.
Guy Size was also kicked out by his father, so he stood outside the door talking to Liam.
In the room, Bertha bowed to Gaye Harold: "Hello, duke, time is a bit urgent, I will only say briefly."
Gaye Harold sat up straight and nodded.
'I believe you are willing to meet with me because you have investigated my cause. Our cooperation is very simple. I will help you get tax-free trading privileges from my eldest brother, you help me get what I want, each of us gets what we need."
Gaye Harold stroked his beard, his eyes looking at her dimly.
'You see, I am a duke and the husband of the great princess, my status is not like that of a normal person, I am not very interested in the privilege of duty-free trading."
Bertha laughed: "Duke, you don't have to beat around the bush with me like that. You have been oppressed by the position of grand princess for more than half your life. If you can achieve tax-free trading privileges, you will be economically independent in the eyes of the eldest princess, soon freed from her control."
'Or, if you feel that this condition is not attractive enough, I can still help you kill Lance Charles."
Gaye Harold's dull eyes narrowed slightly, he was very confused: "He is about to become your husband, yet you want to kill him yourself?"
What woman is willing to make herself a widow on her wedding night?
How cruel must her heart be?
Bertha did not answer but asked in return: "For the duke, Lance Charles's existence in this life is a great humiliation. If I help you kill him, the duke must be very happy, right?"
Gaye Harold laughed loudly: "Interesting, you are truly an interesting and dangerous woman. Okay, I agree to cooperate, so what do you want to get?"
Bertha's red lips smiled, her eyes were cold but determined.
'I just need the antidote to the virus stored in the Imperial Palace warehouse."
In the hallway outside.
Liam and Guy Size are talking very well together.
'Young Master Size, don't you think I'm very ugly? Why don't you hate my face but still talk to me?"
Size seriously observed Liam's face: "Indeed, it's not beautiful, but whether you're ugly or beautiful depends on your parents. This is your innate weakness, I cannot blame you."
Liam held back his laughter. This was the first time he heard such sincere words. For a moment, Liam looked at him strangely.
Size continued to say: 'Furthermore, you can follow Miss Berrha as a bodyguard, proving that you have the upper hand."
A moment later, the room door opened.
Liam immediately ended the small talk, he walked over and saw Bertha walking out with a serious look on her face.
He had a bad feeling, he asked in a low voice: "Madam, does the duke not agree?"
Bertha shook her head.
Outside, the conversation was easy, so she didn't explain: "Let's go, Bruno will come find me."
Liam looked at Bertha's face, he knew something bad must have happened so he didn't say much, his emotions calmed down.
When Bertha returned to the banquet room, Bruno had just walked out of the princess's room. When he saw Bertha sitting alone in the corner, holding a glass of juice in her hand, sitting there quietly, with no one taking the opportunity to talk to her, his uneasy heart was also relieved.
'Bertha."
The corner of Bruno's lips curled up, he immediately went to Bertha's side, he whispered to her: "Later my mother will announce our wedding date in front of everyone, she told us to go on stage, come At that time, you just need to obediently stand next to me."
Bertha said nothing, showed nothing, and was very indifferent.
