Ryan was sitting in the main seat of the Iron Fist Castle banquet hall, and Vivian was sitting under him. On the table in front of them, more than ten kinds of delicacies have been placed, but the main course of the banquet has not been served yet, because today The protagonist of the banquet has not yet arrived. When they learned that Adams, the lord of the Saranal family, had arrived in person two days ago, Ryan and Vivian's first reaction was that the Saranal family was about to be unable to hold on.
The defense battle of Iron Fist Castle ended with the annihilation of Adela's army. In this series of conspiracies and battles, only the Seremis family had the advantage. After using their insiders to defeat the Emilio family's army, they took advantage of the situation. While Adela and Vivian were fighting, he sent troops to attack the Saranar family.
Originally, according to Vera's plan, once they occupied the Iron Fist Castle, they could integrate the power of the two families to suppress the Seremis family. However, now the Emilio family and the Salanaar family have become a loser, so that Seremis The Si family completely lost their worries, and they mobilized their troops to gradually encroach on the Saranar family's territory.
The war lasted for a month. The army of the Saranar family was retreating steadily. Seeing that most of the territory was lost, the entire family was also in the crisis of destruction. At this time, the lord of the Saranal family, Adela I went to Iron Fist Castle in person with Vera's father, Adams, and I believe I can guess his plan without thinking too much.
Ryan leisurely picked up the water glass in front of him and took a sip of water. Both Faras and Vivian spent a lot of effort trying to make Ryan learn to drink. Unfortunately, both of them failed. Ryan still maintained his habit of not drinking. Habit, this has also become a characteristic of Ryan,
"Master of the Saranal family, Lord Adams has arrived." Old Bill's voice came from outside the door, and then a burst of footsteps got closer and closer. A man about fifty years old stepped in. When he saw this After the man walked in, Vivian quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Adams, please take a seat."
The 50-year-old man, Adams, the lord of the Saranal family, looked around. When he saw Ryan wearing a magician's robe, he was still sitting on the chair gratefully, while Vivian just stood up and said hello. He secretly felt helpless in his heart. If this was 20 years ago, how could anyone dare to do this? It is a pity that the entire Saranal family is in an urgent situation now. Adams is no longer in the mood to worry about these etiquette details with Vivian.
Adams walked to his seat in a few steps and sat down slowly. The servant standing beside him immediately walked up quickly and asked in a low voice what Adams wanted to eat. If Adams was attending the banquet, he was just pretending to be with Vivian. Discussing matters is the real thing. He was not in the mood to taste delicious food. He just waved his hand casually and ordered a glass of wine.
"Lord, can we begin?" Old Bill, who was wearing a gorgeous butler's costume, stood and bowed to Vivian. Vivian respectfully asked Ryan's opinion in a low voice before speaking. Said: "Let's serve."
Seeing Vivian being so pretentious, Adams suddenly realized that he had overlooked a very important thing, that is, Ryan's identity was seriously inconsistent with the information he had received before. This magician was definitely not only the helper invited by Vivian, but even His identity may be higher than Vivian's,
"I'm really sorry. We don't have anything good to entertain you here. Please bear with me." Vivian apologized to Adams out of etiquette. After all, as lords of her and Adams, such a banquet would at least be expensive. There must be a large number of guests, and even if the banquet involves confidentiality and not too many people can participate, then the specifications of the banquet cannot be as simple as in front of you.
Adams didn't care about these details at all. Now more than half of the entire Saranal family's territory has been lost. Before leaving, he mobilized all the troops to defend the Crimson Rose Castle where the family is located. If he can't reach an agreement with the Emilio family quickly, , then the Salanar family, which has been inherited for 200 years, is likely to be destroyed by the war.
Of course, anxious in his heart, Adams still pretended to be careless on the surface. After tasting the wine brought by the servant, Adams said: "In total, it has been 25 years since I last came here. Yes, I remember it was when Paul got married, but I didn’t expect that as time passed, our old friend would grow old slowly, which is really a pity.”
Vivian was very unhappy because the incident that Adams mentioned was the beginning of her mother's life of pain. However, Vivian could not attack Adams because others were always looking back on her. Vivian can't say: "Let that bastard Paul die." Because after all, Paul is Vivian's father. Even if Vivian scolds him behind his back, on the surface, he still has to have a little respect, even if It's just an act.
"Oh, it turns out that Lord Adams is here to reminisce, that's great." Vivian replied calmly: "Then after we enjoy lunch, I will arrange for someone to accompany you to take a tour here, near the Iron Fist Castle. The scenery is not bad. You can visit the castle in the afternoon, and tomorrow you can go boating on the lake in the west. The day after tomorrow, I will arrange for you to go hunting in the forest in the southeast, and... "
Adams saw that Vivian's mood did not fluctuate at all, and knew that his words had no effect. Of course, he could not really enjoy it as Vivian said. After all, the family was in a tight situation now, so he could get to the point quickly. It's better to go as quickly as possible.
After waiting for Vivian to talk about her longing for a better life and arrange the entire sightseeing trip to three months later, Adams said: "Yeah, if I can still be as leisurely as before. , naturally I want to have a good time, but it’s a pity that now that people are getting older, there are more things to do.”
The corner of Vivian's mouth curled up slightly. She knew that Adams finally got to the point, because in the past, the affairs of the Saranal family were handled by the two brothers Vera and Adela. Now Vera died in the battle, but Adela Still reflecting in the dungeon, when Adams mentions this, the next topic will inevitably involve Adela, who is still alive.
Sure enough, as Vivian thought, after wandering around, Adams brought the topic to Adela: "I am old and I am too lazy to take care of things, but there is no one I can trust in my family. Fortunately, I still have a daughter, and I plan to find her a husband. At the same time, I also plan to let my son-in-law inherit our family's business."
Vivian secretly sneered. From the looks of it, Adams was ready to get Ryan into trouble, because there was no other man in the Emilio family who was worthy of Adela's status, unless Adams completely abandoned the so-called aristocrat. Dignity, marry Adela to Old Bill or the mercenary Moses, otherwise his daughter really won’t be able to find a suitable man to marry here.
