Chapter 426: Chapter three hundred and eight: Why is the Royal Family so good?_2

"Alright, we’ve been away for a while now. Once this matter is settled, let’s head back for a visit," Sean Knight made the decision.

"Boss is wise!" Douglas Cooper immediately started to flatter him with a smile.

"Go get ready, at least change your clothes. People here take this stuff more seriously."

Fortunately, everyone had come prepared and changed their clothes, just waiting for the banquet.

At noon, Andrew Petrov personally came to invite Sean and his team, taking them to the location of the banquet.

They entered the King’s Palace Main Building, made several turns, and finally arrived at the banquet hall.

Luckily, they had all seen grand halls domestically in China, even the Imperial Palace a few times, so their feelings toward this palace were not too astonishing; it was just like that.

The banquet hall was not very large, and other treasure hunters had already arrived. Seeing Sean and his friends entering, most of the treasure hunters showed envious and jealous expressions.

Sean was personally invited by Andrew Petrov!

They were merely called over by the waiters. Was it because of finding the crown that they received different treatment?

That’s what they thought in their hearts, but Thomas Ekins and the others still took the initiative to come over and enthusiastically congratulate Sean:

"Mr. Knight, congratulations on finding the crown! Your luck really makes us envious!"

"Yeah, never thought the crown would be hidden in such a place. It seems we need to communicate more about treasure hunting methods from now on."

Looking at these colleagues who wore hypocritical smiles, Sean also smiled and responded one by one.

This was at the royal banquet, and he couldn’t embarrass the Chinese. Pretending and scheming were not something new, who couldn’t do it?

The lively and peaceful atmosphere at the scene made Andrew Petrov look strange. When did their relationship become so good?

When the banquet time arrived, the royal family members came one by one under the announcement of the waiter.

The tall King Gustav came with the princess consort and several royal children.

"This is quite grand," Elijah Hastings was a bit surprised. He thought that at most, just Prince Delton would come. He didn’t expect the king and princess consort to come together!

Many people at the scene also noticed that the royal family members paid more attention to those present, especially Sean.

Could it be that Sean had some connection with the royal family?

The king sat down in front of his seat and said:

"Please, take a seat. Thank you all for your efforts in bringing the princess consort’s crown back to the royal family. Especially you, Sean’s team, for saving the royal family’s face. We are very grateful! You have won the friendship of the Swedish Royal Family!"

This statement made the other treasure hunting teams immediately envious of the royal family’s friendship!

Although the Swedish Royal Family is considered poor, who could they be compared to?

Centuries of foundation, were not something to be spoken of lightly, right?

"And to the rest of you," the king faced the other treasure hunters, "though you didn’t find the crown in the end, your efforts were noted, and we are grateful to you."

Only then did these treasure hunters feel somewhat balanced.

"Now, let’s enjoy some delicious food together!"

With a short speech from the king, he signaled everyone to start eating.

The atmosphere of the banquet was quite relaxed. Other treasure hunters stepped forward to engage in conversation with the royal family members, while Sean and his friends were looking for food they liked.

The king, accompanied by the princess consort, came up to Sean with wine glasses. Sean hurriedly took a wine glass from Andrew Petrov, who was prepared next to him, and the two sides clinked glasses.

The king took a sip and said with a smile to Sean:

"Young man, not bad. By the way, I heard your ancestors were nobles too?"

Sean was a little embarrassed, but since it was mentioned, he had to nod:

"Yes, my family has a family tree. Over 600 years ago, my ancestor was granted the title of duke by the then Emperor of the Ming Dynasty—equivalent to a duke on your side."

"Not bad, not bad," King Gustav was somewhat surprised, "There’s still a family tree?"

"Yes. Our ancestors, or the ancestors of the Chinese people, have a habit of compiling a family tree for their own families, so as not to forget the efforts of their ancestors."

After chatting for a while, other treasure hunters looked on jealously, hoping the king would chat with them like this later on.

Sean was also a little nervous. He felt that the king and the princess consort looked at him with strange eyes, especially the princess consort, whose gaze carried a hint of a smile and some scrutiny.

To the disappointment of those treasure hunters, the king left the banquet after speaking with Sean and his friends.

That’s quite normal; the king’s presence at the banquet was already a great honor.

Fortunately, Prince Delton was still there, and with his laughter and chatter, the atmosphere of the banquet was still lively.

"Boss, do you have any relationship with this king?" Douglas Cooper quietly came over to ask, "I see this king seems to be very special to you."

Sean shook his head; he didn’t know either.

Could it be the mysterious recommender?

Sean Knight felt that there could only be that one reason.

So who would be the recommender?

Sean raised his head to look at Delton, who must have known.

Delton happened to be looking at Sean too, and in the face of Sean’s inquiring gaze, he only smiled enigmatically.

Soon, a waiter announced loudly:

"Her Royal Highness, the Fourth Princess, has arrived!"

Fourth Princess?

In the public eye, the King of Sweden has only three children who make frequent public appearances: the eldest princess, who is set to inherit the throne; Prince Delton, who is more leisurely; and the third princess, who is more resourceful.

But few knew there was a fourth princess.

All eyes turned to the entrance.

Delton was also a little surprised; had his sister originally not planned to attend?

A short-haired girl in a long gown entered slowly.

Sean was initially curious, but upon seeing the girl’s face, he was immediately stunned.

Douglas Cooper’s mouth dropped open, and he stammered with a low voice while pulling on Sean’s hand:

"Boss... Boss! She’s a princess! How can she be a princess?"

Elijah Hastings slapped his hand away and said:

"Why can’t she be a princess?"

Having said that, he muttered softly:

"How did she become a princess? She used to be such a cool chick, and now she’s a princess?"

He suddenly laughed, looking like he was enjoying the show.

This time, the boss would be in big trouble!

As soon as the fourth princess entered, several treasure hunters reacted quickly and immediately greeted her with gentlemanly manners. They bowed first, then introduced themselves:

"Hello, Your Highness, my name is Thomas Ekins, and I’m delighted to meet you here."

As he spoke, he tried to take her hand for a respectful kiss on the back of it.

Sean suddenly stepped forward, rudely pushing them aside and standing in front of the princess.

"How can it be you?"

Thomas Ekins was angry. Sean Knight was the protagonist of this banquet, that much they would admit.

But you can’t have it all, right?

You got the bonus, the clue, the king’s favor, the friendship of the royal family, and now you’re stealing the fourth princess too?

If it weren’t for the banquet, Thomas would have the urge to hit someone now!

Just as he was about to argue with Sean, he saw the princess and Sean gazing at each other with deep affection.

Sean didn’t know what feelings he had for this "Fourth Princess" - it certainly hadn’t reached the level of love yet.

But when he saw others fawning over her, he couldn’t bear it.

"Why can’t it be me?" The fourth princess’s eyes were slightly red, her face adorned with a mischievous smile. "You didn’t expect it, huh? Haha, I finally won against you once!"

Sean pulled the fourth princess and began to march out:

"You need to explain this to me! By the way, are you the one who recommended me?"

"Of course it’s me, who else could it be? Huh? Where are we going? I haven’t eaten anything yet."

"Explain first, then eat!" Sean found any excuse; he actually didn’t want others to look at her like a pack of wolves.

The girl was Cheryl Suweton, the short-haired treasure hunter he had once spent a night with.

Sean had no idea that she was Sweden’s Fourth Princess!

Why bother treasure hunting when you’re a perfectly good princess?

Really -

At first, it was Sean who pulled Cheryl along, but later she led him to a room - a bedroom?

"Finally, I can take off this long dress!" Upon closing the door, Cheryl immediately started to take off her dress while grumbling, "It’s so troublesome!"

Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?

Sean was getting a little flustered!
