Chapter 485: Caterina Scarlet Banquet
Daller Family Mansion, Meeting Room.
Magical lights illuminate the red and white floors, grit red crystals adorn the gold-sprayed walls, the red copper fireplace radiates heat, and the crystal chandeliers hanging around the corners are also red, like flames rippling in the glass dome.
This style fits well with the noble coat of arms of the House of Dale: the Burning Flame.
At the door of the parlor, the two brothers, the Marquis Gardner and the Earl of Hewlett, stood in place, silently waiting for the arrival of the guests.
Compared to the composure of the Marquis Gardner, the countenance of Earl Hewlett was slightly curious.
Not long ago, news came from Valoran that someone would be arranged to deal with the impending division of the aristocratic territory in Limontanlune**.
Listening to Horace's message, it seems to represent some kind of blood.
Earl Hewlett raised his eyes slightly, looked at Gardner in front of him, and sighed inwardly.
The kingdom is in the dark tide, and no one can stay out of it.
This is different from the previous battle for the throne, which is an internal matter of the kingdom itself, and now the military attack launched by the Besilik Kingdom has involved the interests of the nobility, and even the inheritance of the nobility.
Most of the blood nobles and meritorious nobles have already made a choice, basically the kingdoms and principalities around the Kingdom of Stoke, and the Dalle family gave up many olive branches sent to them, and chose the Valoran Territory of the Northlands.
"A gamble of fate." Earl Hewlett whispered to himself.
Click! Click! Click!
The sound of light footsteps echoed in the corridor, and the Marquis Gardner and Earl Hewlett looked at the source of the sound, and the person they were waiting for had arrived.
A black leather coat hides the sexy figure, the long crimson hair is scattered behind the back, and the hideous dagger diagonally across the waist attracts the attention of the two.
Further back, there was a column of almost decorated Assassins, numbering 10 people.
"Marquis Gardner?" The woman with long crimson hair said aloud, and the scar on her left eye looked a little fierce. "Ordered to come and get mission information." As the words fell, she pulled the Fire Emblem from her bosom and threw it to the Marquis Gardner.
Receiving the familiar coat of arms, the symbol that once symbolized Horace's identity, the Marquis Gardner's expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "I don't know the name of the adult? ”
"Katerina."
"Master Katerina, I've prepared dinner...... Marquis Gardiner said as he pointed to the parlor behind him, keeping an eye on the group of assassins dressed in black leather.
Under the light, the perfect figure is highlighted, and it is all composed of women.
Raising her eyebrows slightly, Caterina immediately refused, saying, "No, the task is important." ”
"Okay, here's the list of outsiders who colluded with them this time." The Marquis Gardiner was not angry, his expression was relaxed, and in the news he received, he knew that some of the strong men of Valoran's territory had strange tempers.
Earl Hewlett duly took out a letterhead stamped with the Fire Emblem and placed it in the Marquis Gardner's hand.
"It contains some banquet times, and it seems that there is a banquet tonight.... Well, it's the tentacles of the Fadilha Kingdom. ”
With a chuckle, Marquis Gardner continued: "I have some things that need to go to the front line, and for the mission information in the future, you can contact Hewlett, and he will do his best to help your lordship." ”
Caterina looked at Marquis Gardner with burning eyes, her right hand raised slightly, and the red life energy like a chain wrapped around the letterhead and retracted it into her palm.
Then, without looking back, he led the ominous blade out of the meeting room.
"As long as the mission information is accurate, if there is anything abnormal, I will carry Hewlett's head and explain it to the lord."
In the middle of the night, the entrance to the living room was unusually quiet, and occasionally the lights flickered and sounded.
"How does it feel?" Marquis Gardner suddenly spoke, narrowing his eyes slightly, and a crimson flame loomed.
"Very strong!" Earl Hewlett muttered for a moment. "It's not ordinary, at least I don't feel the mortal danger that exists at that moment in the many powerhouses in Limontanlu."
With a slightly hesitant expression, he glanced at Gardner and continued, "It's just that I haven't heard Horace mention this Lord Caterina."
Marquis Gardner turned around, looked at his younger brother in front of him, and said softly: "It's because I haven't seen it that such a Valoran Territory is worthy of the allegiance of the Daller family." ”
"I have a hunch that the Daller family will bloom in our hands at the most glorious moment."
Hearing this, Earl Hewlett was slightly silent, and inexplicable emotions flowed in his eyes: "Why did you let me hand over to her, I noticed that her tone just now was not a joke..... It's really going to lift my head. ”
"Haha, don't worry too much." The Marquis of Gardner patted Hewlett on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Everything has been arranged in advance, and besides, in Limontanlu, the reputation of the Dale family still has weight. ”
"As for me, the situation at the front is not optimistic, and Dacama has sent a message that the Nuu fortress needs support."
"We can't put all our hopes on Valoran's body, at least show our self-worth, so I'll leave Limontanlu tonight and lead the Flame Knights of my family to the fortress of Nuu."
Turning to look at the luxury of the parlor, the Marquis de Gardner's eyes were confronted with the current state of Limontanlu.
The prosperity is no more, and the dark tide is surging.
After thinking about it, he looked at Hewlett and said in a deep voice: "The excuse of being sick before has aroused suspicion, and once any bloody ** happens later, it will inevitably expose the relationship between the Daller family and Valoran in advance." ”
"This trip to the Nuu Fortress would be a very good excuse to get out of sight."
"Okay, it's not too early, I should also make preparations, and I will trouble you to pay more attention to the things in the family."
"I won't live up to your expectations, brother." Hewlett nodded heavily and promised, and then he seemed to remember something.
"I heard that Viscount Brooke of the Perris family is also looking for some help, do we ..........?"
......
......
It's night, the aristocratic quarter, the Clarence Hall.
Magical lights illuminate the hall for a long time, and the golden glazed eaves reflect the hazy starlight.
The previous experience of killing the prince** did not affect this famous banquet place in Limontamlu, and looking at the crowded scene at the door, it seemed to be more prosperous.
If you look closely, most of the crowded carriages are engraved with different aristocratic coats of arms, which means that tonight's banquet is mostly attended by blood nobles and meritorious nobles.
One of the most eye-catching is the sign erected at the entrance of the Clarence Hall, which resembles a water droplet, which is the noble coat of arms of the great nobles of the southern kingdom: the Baker family.
