The baroness's afternoon tea party was held in the banquet hall of Viscount Sika's mansion.
In fact, this banquet hall is the meeting hall where the Viscount Sika's family still inherits, and many matters related to the Sika Territory since Aitantine I originated from here.
Many of them have affected the entire Hokuriku region.
However, this is the first time to use this banquet hall in the name of afternoon tea.
For the afternoon tea served by Sika, in summer, nobles usually choose to sit in the garden, drinking tea and eating snacks while the wind blows, while in winter they choose a study or game room as a venue.
Choose the study room to represent peers or receive elders.
The game room is for juniors.
Among them, the choice of tea and snacks is also very particular.
The whole process is extremely complicated, so the baroness likes to stay in her bedroom and read books most of the time.
But this time, when she had to stand up, she also bit the bullet and gritted her teeth, feeling extremely uneasy in her heart.
She worries about being questioned.
Worried about being suspicious.
She is not good at these.
But the situation is much better than she imagined.
At least, from the time she walked into the banquet hall, although everyone looked at her, there was no sharpness in their eyes, and they were all very polite.
call!
The baroness breathed a sigh of relief, maintaining an aristocratic smile, and glanced at the people present.
Then, he walked towards the main seat.
Afternoon tea party, seemingly small talk.
In fact, there is a very clear hierarchy.
Especially at this time, everyone's sitting position and clothing are extremely clear.
The closer to the main seat, the higher the status.
The higher the status, the more gorgeous the clothes.
However, the Baroness was an exception.
The baroness did not choose the fluffy dress like other noble ladies, but chose a men's suit, with white trousers on the lower body, a neat black suit on the upper body, a hat worn by an equestrian master, and black pants at the feet. The boots wrapped the calf just right, except for a ruby brooch pinned on the chest of the small suit, the whole person had no more accessories, and he walked neatly like a man.
These are all arranged by the higher level evil spirits.
What it needs is the real master of the Sika collar.
Therefore, it doesn't mind using some small means to subtly influence the people around it.
Therefore, when the people around looked at the baroness, they all felt as if they had truly recognized each other for the first time. That feeling was like seeing a battle-tested general.
She really deserves to be the younger sister of Lord Viscount
The usual hiding is just because that viscount is too dazzling!
The thought that appeared in the bottom of my heart made these guests who came here more cautious.
They knew what the Viscount should do at this time.
As for what you don't know
Then you don’t need to know, it has been cleaned up by the higher evil spirits long ago, and those who can come here are people who understand the truth, at least on the surface.
And what do you think in your heart
Not required.
High-ranking evil spirits only need them to be respectful on the surface.
Time will let these people know how right the choice was.
In this regard, the upper evil spirit is very confident.
Not only to himself, but also to his own boss.
Hidden in the corner, the corner of its mouth could not help but curl up, revealing a smile.
The baroness, who had been secretly looking for the high-level evil spirit, found the high-level evil spirit just at this time. Looking at the smile on the corner of the high-level evil spirit's mouth, she thought it was an encouragement to her.
Immediately, the best trace of uneasiness in my heart disappeared.
"Master, good afternoon."
The baroness sitting in the main seat, half of her body was bathed in the warm sunlight, her delicate and mature face seemed to be shining, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Before the tea party begins, I would like everyone to observe a moment of silence for my brother and the people who have passed away."
said the baroness sadly.
The baroness respects her elder brother very much.
Even if she didn't have more feelings, the baroness knew that if it wasn't for this brother, she would never have lived so long willfully.
Widowed, she is still young and has the ability to give birth. In addition, she has inherited the property left by Baron Nord. If her brother is more ruthless, she can be thrown out as a bargaining chip. Some people are willing to take over, even if it is Ai The same is true for the great nobles of Tandinburg. These great nobles don't mind marrying a widow for a generous 'dowry'.
In fact, such a thing has happened.
However, the Viscount refused.
Therefore, the baroness is very grateful to the viscount's brother.
Following the baroness's words, the people present began to look sad.
It's also good to be real.
It doesn't matter if you put on a show.
A few minutes later, when the waiter announced the start of the tea party, they all smiled again.
"I need to announce the first thing."
"The martial law in Sika City needs to be lifted."
"Starting tomorrow, everything will return to normal in Sika City."
As soon as this order was announced, the nobles present applauded.
They agree with this order from the bottom of their hearts.
What is the biggest source of income for Sika City
It is the tax brought by merchants, the prosperity of the market, and the price difference of all kinds of goods.
During the martial law in Xika City, none of these existed.
Only circulation again is the foundation of Sika City.
Looking at the excited and delighted nobles, the baroness raised her hand and pressed down.
The applause stopped immediately.
"The second thing."
"Because of the terrible performance of the previous city guards, I will promote Sergey to be the new commander of the city guards. He will be responsible for the security of the city and the patrols outside the city."
"There is also Hof, he will be my chief guard, responsible for the security of the mansion."
the baroness continued.
None of the nobles present objected to this appointment.
If the original City Guard Commander or Chief of Guards were alive, they would definitely jump out.
It's a pity that during these three days, the two who danced the most have disappeared.
And for the sake of two missing people, risking the same disappearance to oppose the order of the baroness, the nobles present couldn't do it.
It's not worth it!
Therefore, the nobles present reacted after being taken aback for a moment. They congratulated Sergey and Hov standing at the door one by one.
After the two young men saluted the baroness, they nodded indifferently to deal with all this.
They accepted such duties only on the orders of the Messenger.
Perhaps in their view in the past, this was a great status.
but now
That's it.
No matter how honorable, can there be an envoy who walks in the world instead of my lord
Not to mention, there is the existence of my lord.
The indifferent appearance of the two young people surprised the nobles present.
They have already collected all the information about the two people.
Not from a big family.
Not even a nobleman.
Although slightly better than ordinary people, but only slightly better, this kind of chance to reach the sky in one step is still so indifferent
Subconsciously, these nobles put the two young men on the list to be careful.
Then the baroness went on:
"The third thing, I will allow the 'Mist' sect to preach in the territory of Sika."
"What?"
"My lord, do you know what you are talking about?"
"My lord, do you want to start a war?"
…
Different from the previous two events, when the third event was announced, the inside of the banquet hall exploded, and several impatient nobles spoke directly.
Preaching is not an easy thing.
In the entire Hokuriku, before the "black disaster" occurred, there was only one sect: God of War!
And after the 'black calamity' happened, there was only one more 'disaster lady'.
To put it simply, these two are the only ones who can openly preach in the entire Hokuriku.
The rest are heresies and evil gods.
As long as it is found, it is the kind that can be burned to death.
Moreover, unlike the just-emerged 'Ms. Calamity', the God of War has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially in the territory of Sika. The Viscount Sika is the most devout believer of the God of War. Naturally, the Viscount Sika Many of his subordinates are also believers of the God of War. Whether it is to please Viscount Sika or to comfort himself, they don’t need money anyway, so they have more faith.
Of course, many people are really devout believers in God of War.
Not here, though.
Those people have already been cleaned up by the higher evil spirits.
And these people reacted so strongly, naturally because they wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.
Or…
Ask for benefits.
Nobles, far more realistic than imagined.
It's a pity that the upper evil spirits are more realistic than them.
He gestured to Sergey and Hof.
Without hesitation, the two young men walked towards the most yelling people, swung their unsheathed long swords, aimed at the cheeks of these people, and slammed them fiercely.
Crack, clap!
Amidst the crisp sound, the cheeks of these shouting people immediately became red and swollen, their mouths were rotten, and a few teeth spit out.
For those who underestimate their gods, Sergey and Hof don't mind teaching them to be human.
In fact, this was what their envoy had told them, otherwise, they would have cut off the tongues of these guys who wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.
Although the two young people have not experienced the filth among nobles, they are not fools.
How can anyone make eye contact and secretly gesture when they seem to be emotional
The two young men looked fiercely at the nobleman who had just been beaten by them, and then, with eyes like wolves, they began to patrol the entire banquet hall.
No one dared to look at them.
Those who had some strength and courage to jump up and down had already been cleaned up by the higher-ranking evil spirits, and the rest were just weak chickens brought in to show fairness.
If it wasn't for the purpose of making the entire 'Mist' church grow faster and become a qualified helper for its own boss, the higher-ranking evil spirits wouldn't even want to do this.
It prefers a simple and direct style.
This is also derived from the style of its boss.
It doesn't mind developing it.
With a smile, the upper evil spirit looked at the slightly bewildered baroness, and under the gaze of the other party, gave an encouraging look, and immediately the baroness sat up straight.
"I'm announcing, not negotiating."
"I'm just telling you."
"Moreover, the Sika collar belongs to the Sika family. As the sole ruler of the family, I have the right to do so. Even His Majesty the King cannot object."
The baroness said firmly.
When the voice fell, Karl, who had been standing in the corner of the banquet hall and tried his best to avoid everyone's sight, came out.
He thinks he needs to do something for his mother.
Therefore, he walked up to these nobles, stretched out his palm as if leading sheep, and dragged them out of the banquet hall.
"Forgive me!"
"My lord, forgive me!"
The begging for mercy sounded one after another, but Carl simply ignored it.
Karl, who was born in a noble family, knew better than Sergey and Hoff what the bastards in his hands were playing.
Create strife.
Weaken his own mother.
Devour the interests of the Sika family and strengthen yourself.
Almost instantly, he thought of a series of things in his mind.
Therefore, he will not spare himself these bastards at all.
Looking at the black armor, the murderous Karl dragged him out, the banquet hall became quiet again, and the nobles looked at the baroness like quails.
Dread, fear.
Such a look is obvious.
Heard, always heard.
Far less frightening than seeing is believing.
When they saw the acquaintance who was sitting here just now being dragged out like this, they woke up again and remembered their identities again.
The Sika Collar belongs to the Sika family.
Not theirs.
Of course, some people are also thinking secretly.
After the banquet is over, shouldn't we go directly to the Temple of War God
Obviously, there are not a few people who have this idea.
Therefore, in the following banquet, they all ate absent-mindedly, even if the snacks were delicious, some even just took a bite and threw them on the plate without moving.
This made the upper evil spirit frowned.
Before he knew it, his 'food concept' had already been impressed by Qin Ran.
The basics of not wasting food.
The same is true for Sergey and Hoff.
The two days of getting along let them know how simple the messenger is.
Immediately, the two young people who didn't have much affection for these people became more and more disgusted in their hearts.
Thankfully, the Baroness didn't go to waste.
The tea party ended hastily.
The nobles hurried into the carriage.
Seeing the direction in which the carriages were leaving, Sergei and Hoff couldn't help holding onto the hilts of their swords. As long as the upper evil spirit gave an order, the two would definitely rush to kill those people.
However, the upper evil spirit did not speak.
It looked at the baroness with a sad face.
The land is sacred!
The king can't get involved either!
However, the gods are also sacred!
Theocracy, above the royal power, is not just talking.
Decades ago, the messenger of the God of War was called a saint, and the king would pay a half salute when he saw it.
Although the situation has improved after the 'Black Calamity', the power of the 'God' is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Simon, what are we going to do?"
The baroness did not hide her inner worries, and asked anxiously.
The upper evil spirit smiled slightly.
"We do mortal things."
"A matter between gods?"
"Naturally, my Lord will handle it!"
