Lord Chronicle

Chapter 33 The Night Banquet
To Sol's surprise, Jessica also went with him.According to the etiquette, the guests can bring their female relatives to the dinner party, but in this way, doesn't it show that Jessica has an unusual relationship with him?

"What do you want to do?" Sol asked her privately.

"Can't I go?" Jessica asked back.

She changed into an evening dress with light blue as the main color, her hair was tied behind her head in a fashionable style, she applied a thin layer of makeup, and she wore white lace long-sleeved gloves on her hands, revealing a piece of white skin on her chest , with a rare elegance and beauty.

Darth and Walsa were dumbfounded by this outfit again, and they were all jealous that Thor could be with such an enchanting company every day.Even Saul had to admit that Jessica looked more aristocratic than any aristocrat when dressed.

But even so, you don't have to follow this muddy water, do you?
"Don't think I don't know anything. Since you didn't tell me, I'll go and see for myself what's wrong with you and the Lord of Bahrain." Finally, Jessica said viciously.

What else could Sol say, only agree, anyway, he is not going to cause trouble tonight.What's more, it would be an honor for any man to bring such a beautiful woman by his side.

At dusk, the servants of Darth and Volsa also brought their respective dresses.Needless to say, Das is handsome and heroic after being replaced, and Walsa also has his own charm.

Only Sol, his appearance is ordinary, and he is used to being poor in the original world and this world, so he has no noble temperament to speak of.Even though he put on an expensive dress, he was dwarfed by Darth Volsa, not to mention standing beside Jessica, he looked like a servant who lifted her skirt.

"Sister Jessica, you are so beautiful." Marlene praised sincerely, paused, and said, "Actually, the young master is not bad."

Sol was depressed for a while, little girl, you are too consoling.

Kress patted Saul on the shoulder: "My lord, don't be discouraged, men look at the connotation, like me."

Sol wanted to cry but had no tears. They all said that people rely on clothes. Why did I end up with a guy like Kress who has muscles and no brains once I got dressed?

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go!" Holding his breath, he gave an order.

Thus, the group left the Fire Elf Hotel and marched towards the residence of the Lord of Bahrain in the capital.

*************************************************************************************
As the deputy captain of the Royal Capital Guard, Das has three fully armed followers.With the lessons learned from last night, Sol also asked Kress to lead five defenders to accompany him for protection.After all, Chip was from Lulin, and he didn't want to get involved with the nobles of Dinard, and Saul didn't force him.

After driving through the streets and alleys, after getting off the carriage, Sol was immediately stunned by the buildings in front of him.

The location they were in was a wide square, and the ground was paved with neat red stone bricks.At this moment, the square was full of people, and there were carriages of nobles who came to the banquet everywhere. In a corner, Sol found the unicorn carriage of the elf singer Atria.

In another place, he even saw a group of orc warriors, and the carts were actually driven by two high-level magic beast six-legged fire rhinoceros. The fire rhinoceros seemed to dislike this place very much, spouting sparks irritably, and the horses pulling the carts around them were frightened. Hissing.

In front of the square, a tall four-story western-style building appeared in front of Sol.The whole house is mainly white, and the walls are engraved with exquisite reliefs, solemn and solemn.There was a large fountain in front of the house, surrounded by manicured gardens, and three gravel paths leading to the gate.

At this moment, the whole house is brightly lit, and soothing music can be heard faintly.Numerous gorgeously dressed servants shuttled among them, bringing batch after batch of arriving guests to the big house.

According to the kingdom's law, local lords cannot come to the capital without the king's summons.But many lords have their own houses in the king. First, it is to show their status. Second, they come to the king's capital for business, so there is no place to live. Only poor lords like Saul would be ashamed to live in hotels.

However, only the lord of Bahrain would buy such a luxurious house if he was so rich.Clive's niece, Baroness Melis, usually lives here. She inherited the title of her deceased husband, and it is said that she is quite famous in the royal capital.

After several people got out of the car, a servant immediately stepped forward to lead the way.After ordering Kress to leave the guarded carriage, the four of them walked towards the Lord's Mansion. Along the way, nobles kept watching them in amazement, most of whom were attracted by Jessica's beauty.

When they came to the door and announced their names, the etiquette officer immediately shouted: "Master Saul Lovell, the Lord of Lovell, Lord Darth, the deputy captain of the King's Police Force, and Lord Walsa of the Magic Guild are here!"

Following his shout, two servants opened the door, and then a magnificent and lively banquet scene appeared in front of Sol.

Sol had already seen a luxurious banquet among nobles in Caton City, but it was nothing compared to tonight.In a hall as wide as the square outside, countless men and women gathered under the ceiling candlesticks, having skillful and elegant wine tasting conversations. The luxurious atmosphere of the upper-class aristocrats composed of music, fine wine, chatting and laughing, and bright colors filled the air. in the air.

Even if it was a royal banquet, it must be nothing more than that.

After being stunned for several seconds, he came back to his senses and walked into this dreamlike banquet.

Das and Walsa seem to be frequent guests of this kind of banquets, and they both seem to be familiar with it. They picked up a glass of wine from the passing waiter's tray, and began to chat and greet people around them skillfully.

People kept coming to chat with them, and it was strange to Sol that almost all of them came here to curry favor with Das.The identity of Sol, the little lord, did not cause any waves, and most people just gave a symbolic oh, while Jessica received more attention.

Sol doesn't know where she learned court etiquette, but what is certain is that Jessica behaved very well, reserved and enthusiastic, and countless men quietly asked who this elegant lady was.

Not long after, Das couldn't bear the harassment of these nobles, and dragged Volsa away, saying that he was going to admire the beauty of the elf singer.

Looking for an opportunity, Sol secretly said: "Where did you learn etiquette? Did you often attend banquets before?"

Jessica gave him a blank look: "This is what my grandfather taught me. He said that if I become... I will have many opportunities to attend this kind of banquet. I can't embarrass Lovell. This is actually my first time."

Solchi said, "It's done? What has it done?"

Jessica's pretty face blushed for no reason, and she ignored him.Just when Sol was puzzled, Cliff, accompanied by Ferino, walked towards them.

Cliff was still the same, even among so many nobles, people could recognize this extraordinary master at a glance.Felino followed closely behind him, probably because he was attending the dinner party. He had slightly trimmed messy hair and a decent white dress, which was quite eye-catching.

After a long distance, he smiled boldly and said, "Master Lovell, it's really great that you can reach the capital safely."

Knowing that the person in front of him was plotting something wrong, yet he still had to greet him with a smile, Sol felt strange in his heart.However, in that world before, in order to make a living, he did such nonsense things, so there was no difficulty, and he also put on a smiling face.

"Mr. Cliff protected my subordinates and came to the capital. I haven't thanked you yet."

Cliff smiled boldly: "It's just a small matter, please don't take it to heart."

As he said that, he sighed, and said seemingly casually: "The law and order outside is getting worse and worse. After the lord disappeared, we couldn't find it everywhere. How did you come to the capital?"

Sol secretly said, he really wanted to say why are you dragging, I even robbed you.But of course he couldn't say that, he pretended to be lucky and said, "Fortunately, I survived the catastrophe, and later I met a friend who was a mercenary and brought me here."

The disappointment in Cliff's eyes disappeared, and he sighed: "It's really lucky to say that, you must have suffered a lot along the way, right?"

"It's okay, okay." Thor responded.

Here, Felino pulled Jessica and said, "Miss Jessica, we meet again."

Jessica nodded politely: "Mr. Ferino, hello."

"On the way to the king's capital, I learned a lot from discussing theology and philosophical debate with Miss Jessica. That time was really the happiest day in my life." Felino said.

Jessica smiled slightly: "I also admire your knowledge."

Felino immediately said eagerly: "Then when can I ask you out again..."

"Ahem." Sol suddenly coughed twice.

When he robbed Cliff, he had met Ferino, and Saul was deeply impressed by the calmness of the other party's command.In addition, this guy has an outstanding appearance and looks like he has read a lot of books, which is extremely lethal to women.The important thing is that this guy is Cliff's subordinate, and Sol doesn't want Jessica to have anything to do with him.

"What's wrong?" Jessica asked strangely.

"It probably fell into the river that night and caught a cold, and now there are still some roots of the disease." Saul nonsense.

Of course Jessica knew he was talking nonsense, but she tacitly didn't speak.Cliff said: "I have a full-time therapist from the temple in my house, do you want to invite him to show you?"

Sol quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll just go out and get some air. Cough cough..."

Jessica nodded apologetically to the two of them: "I'm really sorry for being so short-changed." She said while helping Sol to walk towards the window.

"Miss Jessica, I look forward to discussing with you next time." Felino said reluctantly.

"Hmph, lucky guy, he was able to reach the capital alive." As soon as the two left, Cliff's expression changed.

Felino immediately returned to his usual calmness: "It's okay, even if he doesn't die, I still have many ways to deal with him, and you will get the land."

Cliff suddenly said inadvertently, "To that girl..."

"Don't worry." Felino's voice was so calm that it was almost cold: "It's just pure appreciation."

"Fine." Cliff nodded.

At this time, two nobles happened to be walking, and Cliff immediately put on a friendly smile and began to chat with each other.

*
And here, Jessica, who was supporting Sol, was asking in a low voice, "What happened to you just now?"

Sol coughed dryly: "You and that Ferino seem to be very familiar, I don't feel well, so I find an excuse to separate you."

Jessica was stunned for a moment, then spat: "Nonsense."

But she quickly explained: "I met him on the way to the capital. I admire his knowledge very much, so I often discuss some issues with him. In fact, we didn't... Why should I tell you this? " She seemed to realize that her explanation was completely unnecessary, and she couldn't help stamping her feet.

"Quickly tell me, what are you hiding from me?" The two came to the window.There are fewer guests here, so they can speak with confidence.

Sol was still talking about him from left to right: "It's really nice here, it's the first time I've seen such a big house."

Jessica suddenly became serious: "Don't you believe me?"

"what?"

"In your opinion, I'm just a dispensable manager. Even if there is something, you don't need to tell me, right?" Jessica took a step closer.

Saul was tongue-tied: "No, you misunderstood, it's actually because..."

"Because of what? Because you are confident that you can solve it alone, or am I not worthy to share it for you?" She continued to be aggressive.

Seeing Jessica's face flushed with anger, Sol's heart softened.He knew very well that Jessica insisted on coming because she was worried about him, and it was related to Lovell, so she was indeed entitled to know.

After a pair of intimate men and women walked by, Sol pressed Jessica's shoulder: "Then let me tell you, Cliff wants to seize Lovell's territory, do you believe it?"

"What?" Jessica asked in disbelief.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Saul quickly made a silent gesture.

After recovering from the shock, Jessica quickly asked, "How did you know?"

Saul spread his hands: "I can only say that I accidentally saw a letter written by Cliff. But this letter has been lost, so I didn't tell you for a long time, because I have no evidence at all."

Then he said, "Now it's time for me to ask you, do you believe me?"

Jessica looked back at Cliff who was talking and laughing with several nobles, gritted her teeth, and said firmly, "I believe in you."

Sol was moved for a while, he was so lucky to have Jessica.

Jessica asked again: "Do you know his purpose?"

Sol said helplessly: "This is the strange thing. I don't understand what he likes about Lovell. But the Adventurer's Guild also intends to get involved. My territory is really a piece of fat." After speaking, he laughed at himself.

Jessica thought: "The Bahrain Territory is very powerful. If you want to attack us, Lovell's current strength can't resist it at all. Do you need to appeal to the king?"

Saul quickly waved his hand: "Without evidence, it can only be a joke to file a complaint, and maybe you will be bitten back. The only advantage is that Cliff doesn't know that I already know his intentions. It can't be said, for Lovell You can only watch him fight."

Seeing Sol's resolute expression, Jessica suddenly smiled: "I don't think I can see you through. Sometimes you seem cowardly, and sometimes you are very courageous. But I hope you know that I am your steward, No matter what happens in the future, you have to discuss it with me, and don't bear it for Lovell alone."

At this moment, Sol suddenly found that his heart had never been so close to Jessica.It was only after the two confessed to each other that he realized that without knowing it, he had become very dependent on this beautiful female manager who was intelligent and caring.

"Jessica..." Touched, Sol gently put his arms around Jessica's shoulders.

The night breeze is gentle, the lights are blurred, and the shadows of incense temples and candles in the hall are like a distant and unreal dream.Confused by this, Jessica only struggled symbolically, and let Sol hug her.

"Lord Lord..."

"Call me Sol."

The eyes of the two met, and the colored windows around them reflected the night, like a colorful curtain.This situation and this scene unexpectedly had a bit of ambiguity.

"Suo..." Jessica's eyes were hazy, and she was already a little confused.

However, at this critical moment, Sol suddenly saw a person who should never appear here.

"Xiami, how, how could it be her!?"

"What's wrong?" Jessica raised her head strangely, seeing Sol's distorted pooping face.

Waking up with a start, Sol quickly looked around, but said in his mouth: "I'm a little anxious, please excuse me first."

Where did Jessica believe him: "Hey, what tricks are you going to play again?"

Sol had already left him and walked quickly towards the middle of the hall. Just as Jessica was about to chase after him, she saw him whispering something in the ears of a group of noble youths.The group of young people immediately surrounded them with great joy.

Surrounded by a group of admirers, Jessica soon lost sight of Saul and stomped her feet angrily.This bastard slipped away by himself again, and I was actually a little bit attracted to him just now.

Walking quickly through the crowd, Sol finally found his target.When he came behind the man, he patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"Excuse me? Ah, Sharon..." The man turned around, and it was Kafir dressed as a maid.Seeing Sol, she froze for a moment, her face instantly filled with ecstasy.

"Hush!" Saul quickly covered her mouth: "Come with me."

Kafir nodded desperately, and followed Sol closely like a kitten, tears streaming down his cheeks uncontrollably.

But at this moment, Sol screamed desperately in his heart: Why?What exactly is this for?I finally got Jessica out of the way, why did Kafir appear here?
Leaving the banquet hall through a side door, the two walked into a secluded corridor.When there was no one around, Kafir couldn't bear it anymore, and hugged Sol tightly with a wow sound.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Sharonpas, I thought I'd never see you again." Kaffir cried pear blossoms and rain.

Sol was in a hurry, and it took him a long time to comfort her.He asked, "Why are you here? Where's Lesta and Dylan?"

Kafir choked and said, "My brothers are here too. We were attacked by Lord Lamo last time, and many people died. We heard that he also came to the banquet, so we sneaked in to seek revenge from him."

Sol secretly said that it was as I expected, but you guys are too messy, right?This is Cliff's territory.Besides, after what happened at the Daisy Hotel last night, the capital has been on the alert to search for those who cause trouble. The three brothers and sisters don't know how to hide, and they dare to sneak in to seek revenge. They are too daring.

"No, they are absolutely impossible to succeed. I can't watch Kafir die anyway. I must stop them." Sol secretly made up his mind.

He anxiously said to Kafir: "Where are Dylan and Lista? Hurry up and find them, you must not do anything tonight."

Seeing Sol suddenly, Kafir was already in a state of confusion. She said in a panic, "Brother Lesta sneaked into the kitchen, and Brother Dilun pretended to be a handyman. I don't know where they are."

Sol said seriously: "You go to Dylan immediately, I'm in charge of finding Lesta, and gather here if you find it. Remember, don't do anything."

Kaffir nodded obediently, and ran to the side of the aisle.Sol sighed, what's the matter, it seems that tonight will be unsafe again.
