Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Banquet (3)
"This one, uh...... Oh yes, Lord Charr. Where are you going? I beg your pardon for the lack of information from those of us who are lonely and unheard, we really haven't heard of your name, and I wonder if you can introduce yourself to us. ”
Just as Charles was toasting to Du Wei frequently, a snarky voice came from the table. Charles looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, lanky man in a green gown holding a wine glass, looking at him defiantly.
Charles couldn't figure out where he came from, so he replied politely, "My lord, it's normal that you haven't heard of me, in fact, Zai Xia is not a native of Calradia at all, but from the continent of Barrion, west of the continent of Calradia. It was a viscount of the Reild Empire that lived there, and I traveled to Calradia out of a love of adventure, and then, under God's guidance, I had the good fortune to meet and receive his appreciation from Lord Atlas, and became a baron in Jerkalari, currently serving in the Earl's city guard. As for what Young Master Du Wei just said about Zaixia, it was just a joke between friends, and it shouldn't be true. In fact, in my eyes, all the adults here are truly well-deserved heroes in the world, and I invite you to kill them. “
After saying this, Charles took a sip of the wine in his glass, as if he was thirsty: "But I think that maybe in the future, the adults here may still hear more of the names of the people here, and then we will definitely become very familiar with each other." ”
"I see." At that moment, Gennaro interjected, with obvious mockery in his tone. "It turns out that you are such a great person, no wonder Du Wei thinks so highly of you. Come, this lord from afar, let me, a little prince, give you a toast, and don't look down on me, and drink them all, or I'll be very angry!" ”
Charles's face flushed, and he took the flask he handed over, and drank the liquid without hesitation.
"Okay, Your Highness, according to what you said, I've drunk it all!" Charles slammed the flask on the table and shouted loudly, but soon stopped shouting, changed his tone, changed his sentence and demeanor, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for your kindness and kindness, I must keep it in mind in the future, and if I need it in the future, I will swear to repay you to death!" ”
"This guy's voice is not small! Like thunder, he is a good man! A sleepy old nobleman in the room, tilting his head to his right shoulder, and then to his left, muttered.
"Then what if I need you to do something for me that harms the interests of Du Wei and his family? Will you still listen to me? Gennaro glanced at the old nobleman, took a bite of the smoked sausage, and continued, looking extremely serious.
Charles knew what the consequences of these words would be, and he didn't want to answer such a question, but the identity of the other party forced him to answer, so he had to stand up and say, "Your noble and honorable highness, you have an incomparably great soul. As the prince of Rhodoc, a model for all nobles to follow, you have the right to enjoy freedom, power, wealth, and happiness as much as possible, and I will naturally obey your orders unconditionally. And the nobles of the country, known for their outstanding morality and courage, are your faithful and upright friends! That being the case, how can your orders conflict with their interests? ”
Charles paused, and said in a louder voice, "In that case, your orders and ideas will be our way and duty, and as soon as your banner appears, who among us will not think that it is our duty to serve you and your father?" Friends, my lords, let us raise our glasses and wish our greatest kingdom of Rhodok, long live! ”
Charles's words immediately caused a wave of admiration, and all the people became excited, and they sang with their glasses held high, as if they could not show their loyalty and patriotism without doing so. The sleepy old nobleman from before also wiped away his tears at this time, choked up and said, "Charles, Charles! What a good man this man is, and there should be more of them in the kingdom! I, Talba of Kulma Fort, am proud to have met such a person! “
"Charles, look, you're really doing a good job, Lord Talba has taken a liking to you, and you're going to be on the rise in the future!" Du Wei put down his wine glass, leaned into Charles's ear, and whispered in a joking tone: "But you must not be ungrateful and do something sorry for our family, otherwise I will never let you go." “
Charles shook his head and replied very seriously: "No, I will never do anything to be sorry for Lord Atlas, I swear by my noble reputation, you can rest assured!" “
"That's the best, if you know it yourself!" Du Wei glanced at him with a smile and said such a preamble that did not match the afterword.
"Let's wake up!" At this moment, Genaro suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Du Wei, I heard that you have a sister, right?" You see, there are so many young people at the banquet, I think maybe it's time to find a wishful husband for your sister, you see! “
Although these fanatical nobles were excited by Charles's words just now, when they heard Genaro's words, no one could help but laugh out loud, and they all asked to meet Du Wei's mysterious sister.
"Get the hell out of Satan and let him examine the merits of you bastards. You goddamn drunkards, bastards! Charles clenched his fists and cursed inwardly at Gennaro and the drunks next to him.
"Grown-ups, friends!" Du Wei exclaimed, and at the same time gently pushed Genaro's arm: "According to the customs of our Calradia since ancient times, all the participants of the banquet can indeed bring their unmarried ladies to the banquet, and they can be introduced to other nobles. You must know that how many beautiful love stories circulating on the mainland are derived from such noble deeds. However, my most respected adults, this is not the time for women to sit down at the table! If I rushed to bring my sister to the table, I would definitely be criticized by everyone else, after all, this is not etiquette at all! “
Du Wei took a few sips of wine slowly, paused for a while, and then said: "Of course, all the young talents here, if you are out of sincere love and respect, then any of you have the right to pursue her today, to try to win her heart, and then to marry our family. This is perfectly reasonable, and no one can stop this legitimate noble feeling. But for now, please be patient, okay? ”
The chaotic apologies came out along with Du Wei's words. Obviously, most of the nobles showed understanding and respect for his ideas. Charles listened to Dewey's words with some excitement, and carefully observed the young nobleman's reaction. After looking around at the young nobleman present for a week, he lowered his head a little dejectedly, and thought with a pale face: Could it be that everything between me and Elena is really about to end?
