"Baron Arthur, I'll go make some preparations first. I'll see you at the reception later. I've arranged for Steward Kendall to serve you!" Charlie said apologetically after walking out of the main castle through the side door again.
"Today is a good day for you, go get ready!" David said with a smile and waved his hands.
Still the familiar Kendall in charge brought David and Mark Knight to the square. There were more dance performances in the square at the moment, and more than a dozen beautiful young women were dancing to show their figure.
There were also many more guests sitting in the gauze tent, some of them were talking and laughing, while others were drinking red wine while watching the performance.
Steward Kendall took David to an empty veil tent and arranged for David to sit down.
"Baron Arthur, I'm right next to you, please tell me anything!" Steward Kendall bowed to David and stood outside the veil tent.
Kendall's management behavior obviously surprised the guests. You must know that no one who can come here to attend the reception is an ordinary person, but that's it, no one has David's special treatment.
However, it is easy to know David’s identity. The dress worn for this kind of reception will have a corresponding coat of arms. Just look at the shadow leopard coat of arms on the corner of David’s dress, and the nobles here know what he belongs to. family.
"A lucky guy!" Cavalier Gaines glanced at David and said softly.
They are a group of young men and women who came to see the world with the elders of the family, and they are not qualified to attend such a reception alone, so they feel very uncomfortable that David has a separate gauze tent and has a dedicated person to serve him.
"It's just a baron!" Knight Leacock said disdainfully.
Although Knight Leacock himself was only a noble knight, as the heir of the family, he naturally looked down upon David's baronship.
"You two, what about your aristocratic etiquette? It's really rude to talk like that behind your back!" Countess Alma reminded softly.
In fact, after Knight Leacock said this sentence, except for Knight Gaines, the complexion was not very good.
Among this group of young men and women, only Knight Gaines and Knight Leacock are likely to inherit the title of the family, and the rest have the lowest title of Lord.
Among the powerful aristocratic families, under certain conditions, generally only the descendants who have the right to inherit will not have a title, and will only be given the title of a semi-noble noble knight.
However, the rest of the descendants who do not have the right of inheritance will help them obtain the lowest titles such as Lords, so that when they leave the family, they can also live their lives as nobles.
If Knight Leacock looked down on the baronetship, it would certainly hurt the lords and duchesses here.
"Why don't we get to know each other in the past and make a friend!" Lady Alicia suggested.
"Go ahead, I don't want to know him!" Knight Leacock shook his head and said.
"I'll go with you!" Countess Alma stood up and responded.
The two countesses looked at the others again, and found that none of them intended to leave.
At this moment, Ian walked into the veil tent, which made the two duchesses sit down again.
"Hello, Baron Arthur, let me introduce myself formally. My name is Ian, the second son of Lord Gould of the white dragon bloodline of the Maine family!" Ian bowed and saluted David.
"Hi!" David stood up and saluted.
David didn't understand why this Ian came to him, but he knew who this Ian was, so he felt a little vigilant in his heart.
"Please sit down!" Ian sat on the other side of the leisure table and greeted David.
This kind of behavior of Ian can only be said that he looks down on David very much, even though the gauze tent belongs to his family, but as the gauze tent arranged for David, during the time David uses, here The owner should be David.
David didn't care about Ian's words, and he didn't want to have any contact with Ian, and he didn't care about Ian's personality.
"I heard that Qinya Manor now belongs to you. I wonder if you are willing to sell it?" Ian waved his hand and asked the servant to bring him a drink, and asked after taking a sip.
Although everyone around Ian has been cleared, he has already bought a lot of servants in the castle. These servants can't do big things for him, but it is not a problem to inquire about some news.
This time he got the news that his father, Lord Gould, was going to entertain the rest of the lords and Templars with heart-warming lotus soup.
With the status of Lord Gould, it is impossible to be the same as Charlie. When entertaining people, he takes heart-warming lotus seed soup from the space ring, which is naturally more stylish.
So the heart-warming lotus seed soup was handed over to Butler Hayes, and the servants would bring it up, and the servants got to know the news.
To be honest, the servants bought by Ian have been afraid for a long time. Ever since they knew that all the people around Ian were killed, these servants knew that it was too hot to take Ian's money, but it was too late to regret it now.
The servants could only tell Ian some unimportant news, things like heart-warming lotus seed soup are things that the servants think are unimportant.
But when Ian got the news, he immediately paid attention to it.
The food that can be brought to a small party is certainly not simple. Considering that Baron Arthur has just met Lord Gould, it is not difficult to imagine where these heart-warming lotus seed soups come from.
Ian didn't think that the cooking of Nuanxin Lotus Seed Soup was special. He thought that there was some mutation in Nuanxin Lotus, which improved the quality of Nuanxin Lotus Seed.
As for cooking, the family has a 'cooking master', and it's not easy to cook.
So he came to David, wanting to buy back the Qinya Manor and grasp the source of the Warm Heart Lotus, so that he could gain points with his father, Lord Gould.
Ian has always thought that Lord Gould likes him very much, and even Charlie is not as important as him in Lord Gould's heart.
This point can be seen from the last time he revealed the information about Charlie leaving home and Charlie's specific location to the evil god believers, and he was not held accountable by Lord Gould afterwards.
Most importantly, Lord Gould has not helped him obtain the title of Lord until now, and he is still a noble knight. All this shows that Lord Gould treats him as an heir.
Ian wanted Lord Gould to see that Charlie gave away the Qinya Manor so that the source of the Warm Heart Lotus would not be controlled by the family, but he could take back the Qinya Manor and regain control of the source of the Warm Heart Lotus.
"I like Qinya Manor very much, and I don't want to sell it!" David didn't expect Ian to make such a request, he shook his head and refused.
"Don't you want to hear my offer? Five manors of the same size as the Qinya manor, and I can pay you another one million divine gold coins!" Seeing David's firm attitude, Ian gritted his teeth and said the maximum amount he can pay.
From here, it can be seen that Ian is not suitable for negotiation, and the fact is also true.
It wasn't long before Ian received real aristocratic education. Before he was eleven years old, he was still by his mother's side. After his mother died, he was picked up by Lord Gould to receive the aristocratic education of the Main family.
Although after years of aristocratic education, it is difficult to correct some basic mistakes.
Ian's self-righteous little calculations, his self-conceived conspiracies, are extremely ridiculous in the eyes of many people in the Main family, and he is proud of his wit.
"I said I didn't want to sell it!" David said in a deep voice.
"Baron Arthur, this is the Maine family. Have you considered the consequences for refusing my words here?" Ian said with a gloomy face.
If David hadn't met Lord Gould and learned about Ian's situation from Charlie, he might have been intimidated by Ian, but he knew that Ian was just an illegitimate child, and he still wanted to murder the Maine family heir.
Although David didn't know why Lord Gould didn't hold Ian accountable, Ian's right to speak in the Main family was probably extremely limited when he thought about it.
"Ian Knight, if you expel me on behalf of the Maine family, then I will leave immediately!" David said in a deep voice.
Lord Gould, who was preparing to entertain his old friends upstairs in the main castle, frowned. The whole castle was enveloped by the power of his blood. When Ian went to find David, he paid a little attention.
Unexpectedly, Ian would threaten David, which made Lord Gould extremely angry, and he did not hide his anger.
For him, anything that can trigger his emotional changes needs to be expressed, so that he can be more emotional.
"Gould, what happened?" Lord Ferdinand asked happily when he saw Lord Gould angry.
They may still use honorifics between them on the outside, but in this kind of private gathering, they are very casual.
Their small circle can be regarded as a small alliance among the top nobles. In the huge world of gods, even the top nobles need to survive in groups in order to protect their families and power.
"That kid Ian is doing stupid things again!" Lord Gould replied with a glare at Lord Ferdinand.
For Lord Ferdinand's gloating behavior, he has long been used to it as a joke among old friends.
"You are really good-tempered. I would have slapped a son like this to death!" Lord Ferdinand said shaking his head.
They all know what Ian did. The heir of the Maine family was almost killed. How could they not investigate such a big matter? In addition, Lord Gould did not keep it secret. What Ian did is in the room All five of you know.
"It's not that you don't know that Gould cultivated love with his family, and he couldn't do anything to his own son!" Lord Emir beside him said with a smile.
"Gould, you can't keep spoiling Ian like this. You almost killed Charlie last time, and you might do something in the future!" Lord Merlin did not make fun of him, but persuaded him in a deep voice.
Lord Merlin is the head of the Gough family and the father of Charlie's fiancée, Lady Denise, so his attitude on this matter is clear.
If it wasn't for Lord Gould, Lord Merlin would have found someone to kill Ian.
"Let's not talk about this, let's taste the dessert I specially prepared for you first!" Lord Gould clapped his hands and said.
Several servants came in with small bowls and carefully placed them in front of the five of them.
"Get rid of the third servant!" Lord Gould glanced at the servants, and then spoke to Butler Hayes outside the door.
Ian made a lot of small moves, and this was the result of Lord Gould's connivance, which also made many servants unable to see the actual situation clearly.
Lord Gould thought that killing more than a dozen people during the last cleanup would make these people pay more attention, but he did not expect that someone was still in contact with Ian to pass on information.
In the veiled tent in the square, Ian stared at David. As soon as the killing intent rose in his heart, he felt enveloped by a more terrifying killing intent. As long as he dared to make any moves, he would be killed. kill.
It was sent from the Mark Knight standing behind David. Anyone who dared to reveal his murderous intent to David was the enemy of the Mark Knight. If David hadn't expressed it, the Mark Knight would have made a move at this moment.
"Get out!" Ian was about to continue to say something, only to hear a familiar majestic voice in his ears, which was the angry voice of his father, Lord Gould.
This sound rang in his ears like thunder, making his face turn pale.
Ian's cleverness immediately understood that David must be extremely important in Lord Gould's heart, and his behavior aroused Lord Gould's anger.
He stood up, turned around and left without even saying a word.
On the other side, a group of young men and women were watching this good show. They only saw the conflict between Ian and David, and they were scared away by David.
They couldn't hear Lord Gould's voice, and the only one who could really hear it was Ian.
David was also a little surprised. Ian seemed aggressive when he came, but he left halfway through.
On the upper floor of the main castle, Lord Gould scolded Ian away, and then signaled to the four old friends to please use heart-warming lotus seed soup.
"Heart-warming lotus seed soup, Gould, you are lazy. This is produced in your industry. My family has a share every season, but I often eat it!" Lord Ferdinand said, looking at the small bowl.
More than half of the production of Nuanxinlian is supplied to some noble families, and those present here occupy a major share.
In a normal gathering like this, there must be some treats that can be sold, otherwise they will be laughed at in this small circle.
"Old Lion, this heart-warming lotus seed soup is a bit different!" Before Lord Gould could speak, Lord Emil pointed out with a smile.
Both Lord Merlin and Lord Luke nodded. They could smell the heart-warming lotus seed soup, which was definitely very different from the heart-warming lotus seed soup they drank before.
"What's the difference, isn't it all heart-warming lotus seed soup?" Lord Ferdinand also smelled the difference after being reminded by several people, but he still said stubbornly.
Lord Ferdinand put the heart-warming lotus seed soup on the table, and then in a flash of white light, the heart-warming lotus seed soup disappeared on the table. Surprise flashed in Lord Ferdinand's eyes. He closed his eyes immediately without hesitation , Sensing the feeling in the mouth carefully.
