Chapter 16: The Banquet

"Get down on my knees!"

Wayne let out a loud shout, and knelt helplessly in front of the tablets of the deceased ancestors of the Sacrifice Hall.

The most interesting thing in the world is that you never know what will happen to you in the next second.

Three hours ago, the Cretan family was happily going to attend the flower festival banquet held by the nobles, and now Zero is kneeling in front of the sacrificial hall with a depraved face, Wayne staring at him angrily, Nasha with a sad face, Leah with a worried and aggrieved face, and Ryan and Natis are also full of distress.

3 hours ago......

Leah sat in the carriage with a sad face, she was wearing a plain dress with floral flowers, her slightly curled hair was softly draped over her shoulders, she was wearing a garland of flowers, and her face was put on delicate light makeup by her aunt Natis herself, and the whole person looked beautiful and lively.

"What's wrong with you, shouldn't children be happy to attend the party?" asked Zero, looking at Leah.

Nasha and Wayne, who were sitting in the same carriage, glanced at each other, and Nasha laughed helplessly at Zero's precocious words.

The husband and wife are all dressed up carefully today, and even Wayne, who usually only likes to wear martial arts uniforms at home, combed his hair today, put on a black dress, and tied a crimson bow tie.

Zero unbuttoned his little dark blue dress, which made him feel a little uncomfortable sitting in the car.

Leah pouted and looked out the window with some distress and said, "It's not that Si Gaslandon. ”

"That silly boy who pesters you every day? he's still pestering you?" Zero pouted.

"It's been a few days, and it's been annoying me again, huh! I hate it......," Leah furrowed her carefully drawn eyebrows, revealing a look of disgust.

"If he pesters you again, you will slap him, and a lady's slap is the most direct and effective way to refuse. Zero said decisively.

Hearing this, Nasha hurriedly dissuaded: "How can this be? Leah, if you really don't like him, tell him directly." If he's a gentleman, he'll know what you're thinking. ”

Zero looked at the bustling street outside the car window, rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of gentlemanly demeanor do you talk about with children...... Children at this age are the most vexatious, unless they make him afraid, otherwise he will rely on himself to be the center of the universe and be unscrupulous, besides, Leah has told him many times, and that stupid boy himself just doesn't listen. ”

Nasha tapped Zero's head and said angrily, "Open and shut up, little child, you are also a child! Also, you can't speak ill of others behind your back, it's rude." ”

Zero looked at the scene outside the window and touched his head, and said in a flat tone: "No, I will also call him stupid in front of him, and if he dares to continue to be rude in front of Leah, I will even beat him." ”

"No, how did you become so bad now, could it be that I've been so busy welcoming your dad home that I've neglected your education?"

"Okay Nasha," Wayne, who had been silent, spoke, "Jeno is right, although the beating methods are too aggressive, but my Cretan family, my Wayne's children, are not allowed to be bullied by others. ”

"Honey......" Nasha looked at Wayne with some confusion.

Wayne looked at Leah with a serious face and said, "Leah, if the other party pesters you again, you will refuse him harshly, if he does not listen to the advice, you will slap the other party as Jeno said to warn, don't be afraid, something happened, let him come to me." ”

"Hmm!" Leah pursed her lips and nodded heavily.

"Kid, you're going to teach you badly......" Nasha whispered as she looked at Wayne.

"Really, Mom," Zero said with some reproach as she looked back at Nasha, "People can't always be so kind, they will be oppressed by others, especially when they are still growing up, you see that Leah has been taught so weakly by you, it is very worrying to go out of the house in the future." ”

"You stinky boy, how do you talk to your mother?" a look of sorrow appeared on Nasha's beautiful face, "Yes, I educate you two at the same time, why is my sister so kind and obedient, and my brother so naughty?"

"Where am I naughty? Ask your conscience, am I too obedient compared to children of the same age? How many people in private envy you for having such a son, don't you know?" said Zero unconvinced.

Wayne coughed, looked at Zero and said solemnly, "Don't talk back to your mother, Jeno." ”

Zero didn't say anything, and Nasha heard Wayne speak for her, and her face showed a smug look, smiling at Zero who tilted her head to look out the window.

At this time, Leah suddenly pounced over and pinched Zero's face and said, "You actually said that I am weak and can't help the wind, but I am your sister, today I will let you see if my sister is weak and can't help the wind?"

"What?" Zero nudged Leah, and the little girl wrinkled her nose and pinched his face with a fierce smile.

"Do you want your aunt to spend all the makeup on your makeup?" Zero's mouth was ripped out by Leah.

"Hmph~ Let you say I'm weak!" Leah said with a pretending to be fierce.

Zero immediately reached for Leah's waist, scratched it twice, and said, "Let go." ”

Leah laughed as she was scratched, dodging Zero's hand and saying, "Hahaha...... Don't let go, you're always angry with me. ”

"Don't let it go...... Zero stood up and scratched the itchy flesh on Leah's waist violently, Leah was scratched by him, and let go of her hand while covering her waist and said, "I let go, let go." ”

Zero laughed slyly: "Let it go now, it's too late!"

Leah is scratched and hides in Nasha's arms, who dissuades the two from making a fuss.

"Hahaha...... Mom Jeno bullied me. ”

"You two don't make a fuss, we're still in the car. ”

"Do you dare to pinch my face?"

"Hahaha...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry......."

Wayne watched the scene, a satisfied smile on his lips.

The carriage stopped at the Good Night Villa, and the Wayne family of four stepped out of the carriage, looking up at the four flying characters carved on the door, "Good Night Villa".

On a carriage parked behind, the four members of the Ryan family stepped down from the carriage, compared to the two sisters and brothers, the Sophie sisters and brothers were obviously much more excited, and both of them looked around with happy expressions on their faces.

After Mr. and Mrs. Wayne and Mr. and Mrs. Ryan greeted each other, the four children followed behind them, and everyone walked into the annex together.

"Jano!

As soon as I reached the front yard, I heard Evan shouting behind me.

The Gard Leondez family was also there.

Evan looked at Guardian and asked, seeing Guardian nodding, he trotted to Zero, and his mother Bonason smiled and told "Slow down".

"Aven!" Sophie shouted with joy as she saw Evan's eyes light up as she ran over.

Evan ran up to Leah and took out his left hand, which had been behind him.

He held a bouquet of delicately wrapped orchid canola flowers in his hand, the light blue wrapping paper with fine lines complemented the orchid canola flowers with white petals and blue stamens, Ai Wen held the bouquet of orchid canola flowers in front of Leah and said to her with a red face and a little excitement: "Give it to you, Leah, you must be happy on the Flower Society Festival~"

Leah opened her mouth slightly in surprise, and looked at Evan with a blushing face, and then she quickly took the bouquet of flowers and smiled and whispered to Evan "Thank you......"

Nasha and Wayne glanced at each other, covering their mouths and laughing.

Sophie looked at this scene and suddenly felt aggrieved, she held the corner of Ryan's clothes, her eyes flashed with a little crystal, Ryan lowered his head and shook his head at her with a gentle smile, and then touched the back of her head to comfort her.

"Hey~ Send such beautiful flowers to my sister, what are you going to send to me?" Zero joked with a lazy smile.

Aiwen's originally joyful expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, he scratched his cheek and lowered his head and stammered, "This ...... This ......"

"Hah, you kid wasn't ready to send me anything. Zero directly told the truth, and Evan couldn't hold back a little on his face.

Everyone laughed, amused by the children's actions.

The two of them walked in and greeted Wayne with a smile: "General Wayne, Lane Envoy, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Wayne smiled and nodded: "Your Excellency the Cabinet Envoy, this time I went back to the capital, in addition to being busy with the errands arranged by His Majesty the Emperor, I spent the rest of my time at home with my family. ”

"What's that?" Guardian replied with a smile, "My father is in good health, General Lao Fei is worried, and a few days ago his old man said that the heroes of the empire have returned to the capital, so I will visit him with him on a later date, and by the way, I will also talk to his old friends to catch up, but we are all delayed by business." ”

"Hmm......" Wayne nodded and said, "Right now, the demon clan is invading the continent and the power is unabated, and the neighboring countries are ready to move, so people are really unhappy to enjoy it......

At this time, Ryan, who had been silent beside him, also spoke: "I heard the news that there are militants from the Helius Empire who have infiltrated the imperial capital, and now there is martial law everywhere in the city......

The three men sighed one after another, and the originally joyful scene became serious.

"Hey, I said you men, you are really heartbroken for the country and the people, when can you worry about our wives and children. Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming depressed, Benason opened his mouth to mediate, "Those of us who are wives look forward to the stars and the moon all day long, hoping that you men can spend more time with us, especially Mrs. Nasha, whose husband is often not at home, finally hopes that her husband will accompany his family to a banquet for a holiday, and listen to you men get together to mourn national affairs." ”

Nasha laughed a little embarrassedly when she heard this, and Guardian also smiled and said: "Yes, we shouldn't delay this annual Flower Society Festival, especially Brother Wayne, who finally spent the holiday at home this year, and should accompany his family well, so let's temporarily leave those political affairs aside tonight and attend the banquet." ”

Natis smiled and said, "It's rare that you can remember that you came to the festival banquet today instead of the political council. ”

The atmosphere was lively again, and Ryan spoke, "Let's go inside, the kids can't wait." ”

"Jeno, you can't overeat later~" Natis said to Zero with a wink.

Zero was stunned and retorted, "You want to remind Leyson, right? ”

"Ahh......h

Several adults laughed, and Guardian looked at Zero and said to Wayne: "This is Jeno, I have long heard rumors that Jeno, the eldest son of the Cretan family, is extraordinary, and I saw it today, and it is indeed the son of the Sword Saint." ”

Seeing the smile, the dog is still a little less taught than Ling Lang. Wayne said modestly.

"Hey~ This kid in my family is too gentle. Gard said and reached out and touched Aven's head, "A man should have the spirit of General Wayne. ”

"Where......" Wayne replied with a smile.

"Wow that's suffocating...... Someone else's child, wow......" Zero complained in his heart about the communication between the two men, and followed him up the stairs to the meeting hall without a sound.
