The Iron Fist Castle was brightly lit at night, and many servants were busy non-stop, because their master was going to entertain distinguished guests tonight. Toby stood at the door of the main hall of Iron Fist Castle, looking at the busy servants around him with a condescending look. , this is the venue for tonight's banquet, and as the host, Toby is expected to have to stand at the door to greet the distinguished guests.
Toby, who was wearing a tuxedo, looked particularly tall and straight. At this time, Toby looked smug. With the support of his mother, he had already received support from the Seremis family, plus his own Emilio family. , a total of 30,000 troops are stationed outside the territory of the Saranar family. This is a silent threat. If the other party cannot agree to its conditions, then at dawn tomorrow, the messenger with the order to launch an attack will will set off, and within five days at most, the war will break out in the territory of the Saranar family,
The voice of the emcee not far away came in: "Miss Vivian and Mr. Fabia are here." This voice woke up Toby, who was looking forward to a better future, and brought Toby's mind back to the banquet scene, where Vivian and Mr. Ryan appeared side by side in front of Toby, but Toby only glanced at Vivian and suddenly became furious.
According to the rules of banquets between nobles, people usually dress up to attend such banquets. Men usually wear tuxedos, while women usually wear low-cut skirts. Of course, this is not the only kind of attire, but no matter how the attire changes, the general content is as follows It won't change, but Vivian is still wearing her leather armor, and Ryan just put on a robe. Such an outfit is not even as good as a slave of the master of ceremonies.
"Vivian, you, what do you mean?" Toby was so angry that he couldn't speak. He pointed at the leather armor on Vivian's body and asked in a low voice, "Are you deliberately causing trouble?"
Vivian looked at Toby with disdain. Because Ryan was by her side, Vivian felt that her confidence had never been so strong. She retorted: "Aha, your Emilio family is naturally famous. You are a noble, how can I, a poor mercenary like me, afford to wear a full dress?"
Toby was stunned when he heard this. He then remembered that although Vivian had the blood of the Emilio family flowing in her body, the family treated her as a slave. Vivian's only dress was still in When he was not born, he made it in order to train her. Thinking of this, Toby felt a little ashamed in his heart. After all, Vivian is his sister, but she has gained nothing in this family for so many years. On the contrary, the family gets tens of thousands of gold coins from Vivian every year.
Toby was about to say a few warm words to bring him closer to Vivian, but he saw Vivian and Ryan standing together. Of course, Toby had heard his cronies mention Ryan. , but Ryan appeared in his field of vision for only half a day. No matter how powerful Toby was, he could not really understand Ryan. However, Toby saw warmth and trust in Vivian's eyes, and this look turned out to be For Ryan,
Toby felt like his head was exploding. He threw all the guilt and bloodline aside. Toby opened his mouth without hesitation and said, "Huh, this is the bloodline of the mother-in-law. You can give it to me." I listen, don't be too troublesome tonight, otherwise your mother's grave will be..."
When Vivian heard Toby insulting her dead mother, she suddenly became furious. However, Ryan's reaction was much faster than her. She grabbed Vivian's hand directly and patted the back of her hand a few times. It was a reminder from Ryan. It also made Vivian calm down. In any case, now is not the time to fall out, so Vivian said nothing more to Toby and directly pulled Ryan into the main hall.
Toby was about to have a seizure when he heard the voice of the master of ceremonies: "The Saranal family, Master Vera, and Miss Adela are here."
Toby knew that now was not the time to worry about these things. It would not be too late to settle the accounts with Vivian slowly after tonight's important matter was dealt with. Anyway, her mother's grave was at the back of Iron Fist Castle. Was he still afraid that she would run away? , so Toby adjusted his mood, showed a happy smile on his face, and walked up to Vera and Adela who walked in side by side: "Aha, welcome to my most distinguished guest."
"Damn it." Vivian sat angrily in the corner of the long table. She grabbed the neatly arranged knives and forks and scratched a mark under the table, and then said to Ryan, who was sitting next to her: "Yes. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have taught him a lesson just now."
"Be patient for now, Vivian." Ryan said calmly: "According to the script, now is not the time for us to go on stage."
"Okay, I listen to you." After listening to Ryan's words, Vivian quickly calmed down her mood and sat obediently at the long table. This made Ryan feel very strange. When did Vivian An, a beautiful warrior with a hot temper, has actually changed into such a character.
"Ah, Vivian, it turns out you are already here." Adela's voice sounded at the door, and Vivian immediately smiled, stood up and walked towards Adela: "Hey, what are you doing today? It’s so beautifully dressed.”
Ryan turned his head and looked around. Adela could be said to be the focus of the entire banquet tonight. She was originally slender and wore a pure white dress tonight, revealing a large area of skin on her chest. Her golden hair was covered with Neatly coiled on top of her head, a string of gemstone necklaces shining with colorful light was worn on Adela's forehead. Originally, this kind of necklace should be worn around the neck, but Adela wore it on her forehead instead. On the contrary, it added countless charms to her,
Seeing Adela dressed up so elegantly, Vivian felt ashamed and stopped in her tracks, but Adela hugged Vivian without caring, and then said in her ear: "Vivian , in my eyes, you are just a gem that has not been polished. You just haven't found the person who appreciates you yet."
Vivian's face suddenly turned red when she heard this. She hugged Adela gently and then separated from her. At this time, Toby accompanied Vera and walked in. After seeing all the guests, After everyone arrived, Toby snapped his fingers at the butler who was standing by. Naturally, a servant quickly came up to serve everyone. Everyone sat at the square table. Then, following the butler's order, more than a dozen appetizers were put on the table. the dining table,
"Please." As the host, Toby first picked up the knife and fork, forked a piece of smoked and roasted rabbit in front of him and ate it. This is the etiquette of the entire banquet. Only after the host starts eating, the guests can enjoy it as they like.
Toby slowly chewed the rabbit meat in his mouth. This smoked and roasted rabbit meat looked very common, but the dish prepared tonight was very troublesome to make. Rabbits can only be three months old, otherwise the meat will not be tender enough. , when smoking and roasting, the fire should not be too high or too low, otherwise the taste will be affected, and in order to be worthy of the noble status, the rabbit meat is coated with seventeen kinds of spices, but such a small plate costs hundreds of dollars. Gold coins are enough for a family of three to live under the Iron Fist Castle for decades.
