Wearing a star wedding dress, the same bright silver diamond crystal shoes on her feet, a bright crown on her head, and a kind dark blue god's eye on her chest.

Adelaide was shining so brightly at this moment that every time she walked under the light, everyone would see only the white daylight.

"Forty million U.S. dollars in clothing, 300 million U.S. dollars in dowry, and 200 million U.S. dollars in betrothal gifts. The total value of the people here is enough to move the entire United States."

Second Master Mei and his family brothers, with their juniors, stood on the edge of the exam. At this moment, they felt mixed emotions in their hearts.

I am happy for my compatriots, but I also can't help but secretly sigh that it has taken the Mei family more than half a century in the United States to develop to where it is today.

But look at others, in less than 2 years, they are already qualified to talk face-to-face with American capital giants.

At an engagement banquet, even for families like Rockefeller and Morgan, the patriarch and his family members attended to support him, "Hey..."

Sighing, he looked back at his dumbfounded son with a wide grin on his face. Mei Erye wanted to take off the soles of his shoes and give him a good slap, "You're a useless thing."

Li Zitao and Adelaide had a formality on the red carpet, and naturally there was lunch and socializing next.

The benches and flower poles were quickly removed, and the banquet hall became empty again, and then filled with guests.

Melodious music sounded and graceful dancing appeared in the center of the banquet hall.

The Duke's family, West, and Huang, who was paralyzed, formed a circle and sat on the sofa in the corner.

Li Zitao's parents were gone, and there was only one West among his elders. He felt something was wrong, so he pulled the reluctant Lao Huang to top the tank.

"Relax, these are our own family, don't be so nervous." Li Zitao saw that Lao Huang was too nervous, so he leaned next to him and whispered.

"Yeah." He snorted in a neutral tone, and Old Huang thought to himself, 'Can this big family be the same as ordinary people?'

She was either a princess or a prince, and there was also a grand duchess from the Grand Duchy. If it had been several decades ago, wouldn’t she have been the empress?

If he had known about the unattractive old man next to him and Li Zitao's smiling father-in-law, whose family had ruled Europe for centuries, his facial paralysis would probably be even worse.

"We should go meet the other guests." Adelaide signaled that it was time for him to leave.

After the two left, West sat and sipped the wine, as if tasting some fine wine.

"Uncle, I haven't heard from you for a long time." Felix looked sideways at him with a smile, his tone full of surprise.

"Yes! I haven't seen Mary for a long time. I remember the first time I saw her, she was in her mother's arms."

The conversation between the two aroused everyone's curiosity. Except for the Grand Duchess, who said nothing, the children all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear every word they said.

Uncle, why did they never know?

Although Bourbon's complicated bloodline made him related to most of Europe, they had only seen it in some close relatives who could make him show such enthusiasm.

And if they are close relatives, why have they never heard their parents mention it for so many years?

"Are you satisfied with your current life?" Felix had never realized until today that Li Zitao had such a close relationship with West.

"It's very good. I bask in the sun every day, take care of the farm, fish by the river, and occasionally go hiking with my friends. I feel young again."

Seeing West's heartfelt smile, Felix felt like he was in a dream.

Is this really the regent whom he respected and feared so much when he was a child?

"I know what you want to ask. They have their own lives. The glory of Habsburg is over. I am West now and only West."

A direct bloodline of Habsburg, his two princesses and nieces, West had paid attention to their lives for a long time.

And now they have found someone they love, an army officer, and a wealthy viscount.

Such a wedding is naturally unbearable for people who regard family honor as their life.

If it were during the Habsburg rule, after such a thing happened, the two princesses would only be expelled.

But now that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is gone, what’s the point of caring about these things?

If West was still basking in the glory of the past, he would have wiped his neck like everyone else when the empire collapsed.

As for what his cousin, the last emperor who succeeded the Habsburg throne and the eldest son of Karl I, did, West didn't want to care even more.

For him, if it wasn't out of helplessness, how could he have approved of someone like Karl I ascending the throne.

"I wish you a happy life forever." Seeing that West didn't want to talk about the past, Felix could only drop the topic.

The majestic aura of West's warning words just now reminded him of the scene when he was scolded as a child. Even now, he is still full of awe of this uncle.

"Your Excellency, it is an honor to see you again." Seeing her husband stop his unrealistic fantasy, the Grand Duchess raised her glass gracefully and chatted with West.

"Haha, when you were young, you were not as calm and solemn as you are now. At that time," he was very enthusiastic towards the Grand Duchess, and would talk about dark history when he opened his mouth.

Jean, the other princes, and the princesses waited with wide eyes and expectant faces.

"Your Excellency, here is the freshest Arctic shrimp, you should try it yourself!" The Grand Duchess reached out and took the plate that the waiter was about to put on the table, and placed it directly in front of him.

In the banquet hall, Li Zitao and Adelaide were followed by Tia and Amy. When they met with the guests, they properly reminded them of the identity of the guests.

There were more than 200 people present, and Li Zitao and Adelaide didn't know most of them. Those ladies and ladies from the royal family had such long names that it was really annoying.

However, there was a small circle at the scene, which attracted Li Zitao's attention very much, "Jonathan."

Li Zitao is naturally not interested in him. Although they have a good relationship, he is not interested in men, absolutely not!

What made him curious was that Miss Doris Duke, the heir to the Duke Group, was standing next to Jonathan with a cheerful expression.

"Miss Duke, you look much better than last time." Li Zitao said with a smile, and raised his eyebrows at Jonathan.

"Yes, I am having a great time during this time." Doris's face turned red, and she quietly looked at Jonathan beside her as she spoke.

From the way her little daughter behaves, the relationship between the two is clear at a glance.

It seems that Jonathan's skills are not only reflected in business, but also good at treating women. "Is it the legendary talent that makes people good at work?"

The Rockefeller family, the Morgan family, the McCoy family, the Harvey family, the Wood family, and a congressman all arrived.

Naturally, Chief of Staff MacArthur and Lieutenant Colonel Marshall of the local National Guard Division are indispensable here.
