Section 290: Rare Treasures (Page 1/1)
The suspicions of the nobles spread like a plague, and everyone looked at the two of them with unkind eyes, and these noble people did not believe that the two commoners could bring any treasures.
"Dear Countess, you can't have been deceived by the rhetoric of these two merchants, have you?" The countess's vassal baron, looked at Kevin and White Sr. hostilely, and said to the countess.
"Baron Mack, your wisdom and prudence have always been praised." Countess Randall sat on the throne, she nodded slightly, first complimented her vassals, and Baron Mack, who had been praised by the countess, had a smile on her face.
"I'm entirely thinking of you, the countess, after all, women are always blinded by such bells and whistles." Baron Mack said with some smugness, his words resonated among the nobles, and in a male-dominated society, even though the countess Randall was revered, her vassals occasionally showed a certain arrogance.
"But, Lord Baron, your conclusion is too early, Sir Hilton open the box and let you adults see it!" Countess Randall interrupted the baron's rude words, knowing that the baron was not deliberately presumptuous, but the result of social consensus and cultural atmosphere, but as a female ruler she had to be stronger than the men.
Sir Hilton immediately stepped forward to remove the velvet cloth from the wooden box, and an ordinary wooden box was presented to everyone, and the nobles smiled and looked at each other, as if to say, "Look, a woman's insight is nothing more than that."
"Open the box." Countess Randall, who took in the expressions of the nobles, commanded Sir Hilton.
"Yes, Countess." Sir Hilton opened the top of the wooden box, and at this time, a ray of sunlight shone in the window behind the countess's throne, and the sunlight shone into the wooden box, and suddenly it was full of strange colors, and the nobles' eyes widened in disbelief.
"Oh, what is this?" Baron Mack, as an important prince under the countess, is the most prominent, so he can see it most clearly.
Blindfolded by the colours, the arrogant baron was like a child finding a playful toy, and he walked a few steps to the box, Sir Hilton blocking his way with his strong arms.
"Ahem, I just wanted to look a little more closely." Realizing that he was out of shape, Baron Mack couldn't help but argue.
"Let the Baron take a closer look." Randall, the Countess, raised her left hand and waved it at Sir Hilton, who bowed and retreated, and the nobles hula around the box.
"What the hell is this made of?"
"Is it silver?"
"No, it's supposed to be crystal."
"Colored crystals?"
"What a precious treasure this is."
"Look, what a real goblin, as if the next moment she was going to jump into my hands."
"The Lord God is above, if I can get such a treasure, I will propose to the princess with courage."
The nobles looked at this precious glass brooch, and were instantly attracted by the beauty of the brooch, they stared greedily at the box, Sir Hilton stood vigilantly to the side, no one knew the greed of the nobles better than him.
"Phew, looks like we're fine." Old Kevin and White immediately stepped aside when the nobles swarmed up, and they looked at the nobles like hungry dogs, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the two of them would not be troubled by the nobles anymore.
"The servants begin the feast." Count Randall, who was satisfied with the performance of the nobles, stood up and clapped her hands, and the musicians on the second floor immediately began to play music, and the servants brought food and wine to the hall.
The sound of beautiful music sounded, and the clown in the clown costume played with the torch and made ridiculous movements, but at this time, the nobles in the banquet did not have a little thought, they would also talk to each other, but intentionally or unintentionally, they would drift their eyes to the direction of the wooden box, this strange atmosphere permeated the banquet, even the old Kevin and White sitting on the left hand side of the countess were also aware of it, but the strange thing was that the countess seemed to be completely unaffected.
"Mistress, I don't know if this idea is good or bad." Sir Hilton stood beside Countess Randall, his brow furrowed, and whispered to the countess.
"Why?" The countess crossed her legs, she had a pair of slender legs, beauty that even a long skirt could not hide, and held a delicate silver wine glass in her hand.
"This banquet has succeeded in arousing the greed of the nobles, what if they rob it?" Sir Hilton said worriedly.
Even though most of the nobles in the hall were vassals of the countess, the greed of human beings was so strong that what if they sparked a rebellion over this treasure? Don't think that these nobles once swore allegiance and let their guard down, Sir Hilton knew that nobles had a limit to their loyalty.
"Hehe, Sir Hilton is under your protection, and I don't fear for my safety." The Countess shook her feet mischievously in the hem of her skirt, and said to Sir Hilton with a smile in her tone, full of trust in the knight who had sworn to protect her as a child.
"Thank you for your trust, and I will swear that even if I use my life to protect you, this vow will not change at any time." Sir Hilton said proudly and movingly.
During the banquet, Baron Mack absentmindedly plucked a grape from his plate and put it in his mouth to chew, but he could not taste the sweetness of the grape at all, while another nobleman sat beside him.
"Lord Baron, you don't seem to be happy?"
"Oh, Sir Valen, you're wrong, I'm glad to be here at this feast." Baron Mack said absentmindedly.
"It's a rare treasure, isn't it?" Sir Valen said with a grin.
"Oh, of course, I've never seen such a beautiful treasure, and I don't have a clue about the material of this treasure, if I can have it, even once." Baron Mack's heart is like a cat's claw, his eyes are misty, and the fetishes of the nobility are varied, and it is clear that Baron Mack is more obsessed with jewelry and the like.
"It's a pity, if it weren't for Sir Hilton's presence, I would be willing to kill the guard with my sword and take this treasure, even if I held it to death." Sir Valen agreed.
"Yes, the whole Shire, no, there is not a man in the whole Duchy who is unaware of the prestige of Sir Hilton." Baron Mack also said regretfully.
"I heard that Sir Wayne of the Locke family once had a tie with Sir Hilton, if you unite with the Locke family, can you defeat Sir Hilton?" Sir Valen and Baron Mack are partners who grew up together, so the two talk almost everything with each other, and Baron Mack was slightly stunned after listening to Sir Warren's words, but he did not scold or refuse.
