Chapter Thirty-Nine: Careful Thoughts at the Dinner Table

The night of the harvest festival.

The streets are brightly lit and jubilant, and the Guns and Roses Drama Club of the North also performs "The Legend of the Iron Crown" in the square of Neverwinter, attracting countless audiences.

In gratitude to the god of harvest, the residents of the north began to parade through the streets with huge scarecrows two or three stories high.

In the wee hours of the morning, they burn the scarecrow in the middle of the square, meaning that the flames will drive away the witch and let the north survive the witch's night.

......

In previous years, this time of year was also the time when Rhodes was assassinated most frequently, because of the harvest festival, Neverwinter was mixed, and many assassins and witches would be mixed in.

The best thing to do is to hide in a safe house.

As a result, Rhodes never attended the harvest festival, and at this time of year, he could only watch them play in the streets with binoculars in the safe house.

To be honest, I'm quite envious.

And this year's harvest festival.

Rhodes doesn't have to hide in the safe house anymore.

The castle's banquet hall was decorated with tapestries, with more than a dozen candles on the main table and a huge moa in the center of the dining table.

The table is full of extravagant food.

Black pork from the Highlands.

Roasted lamb in the Bell Meadows.

Fresh fruit is in demand in the North.

There are also a lot of desserts and pastries, as well as Elizabeth's favorite cream mousse.

Edward's brow furrowed as he looked at the lavish dinner full of lavish tables, which was much more extravagant than the Harvest Gala dinner at Ironforge.

This time, he asked Elizabeth to come to Neverwinter just to let her see how poor this kid Rhodes is.

She has been pampered since she was a child.

As long as he saw the poverty of Williamheim, maybe he would end his love letter contact with him.

I didn't think that this bastard, in order to deceive Elizabeth, was so willing to spend his blood and the entire reception banquet cost at least 100 gold!

It is not true as the rumors say.

Rhodes sells his body to make a fortune, after all, the notorious slut in the imperial capital once trumpeted Rhodes' great bed skills.

And this bastard actually sat so close to his sister, and there was a joke.

Edward counted carefully, and when Rod was talking to his sister, his eyes focused on Elizabeth's abdomen a little above her abdomen twenty times, and at the gap in the middle more than ten times.

Before Edward went out, he asked Elizabeth not to wear this off-the-shoulder dress, but she just wouldn't listen.

He regrets it now.

Elizabeth shouldn't have been allowed to come, and now she has completely fallen into the trap of this bastard.

Now Elizabeth's eyes are full of Rhodes's figure, and from the moment she sat at the table to now, she didn't look at him as a brother.

And what surprised him the most was that.

When I used to look at Rhodes with my eyes.

His body was full of cracked death lines, and if he wanted to, he could easily kill this bastard by touching them lightly.

And this time, those dead lines on his body are gone.

Even if the Great Wizard was in front of him, he would expose at least two or three dead lines.

Edward rubbed his eyes.

Looking at the others, he found that Elizabeth's death lines were still the same as before, there were more than a dozen, and the second prince's had seven, and the chef who was cutting moa meat was covered with dense death lines.

And Rod really didn't.

This means that he can't kill the current Rod.

Edward fell into deep thought.

This would also explain why so many of his assassins failed.

But he wanted to know more.

What really happened to Rod?

......

Rhodes was eating dinner.

While chatting with Elizabeth.

I haven't seen him for four years, and my "fiancée" has really grown up a lot, and I don't know whether to look at my face or below my neck for a while.

Seeing Edward's eyes on fire, Rod felt very comfortable.

Halfway through the banquet.

Rod took Elizabeth's hand and kissed it, saying, "Enchanting Miss Elizabeth, may I ask you to do a dance?" ”

"Of course, Lord Count." Elizabeth smiled brightly.

Rod snapped his fingers!

The curtain in the banquet hall was opened, and there was a band hiding inside, playing the "Pavan in Mourning for the Princess".

After hearing the dance music.

Elizabeth's face was full of girlish surprises, this was her favorite dance song, this man was just like the love letter, so romantic and elegant.

The second prince, who had been watching carefully since the beginning of the banquet, finally understood why he was cuckolded by this bastard.

It's not that you lose in appearance.

Although the appearance also lost.

It should be more in the details, this kid Rhodes is a woman, not only into their bodies, but also into their hearts.

If it were to chase Elizabeth by himself, it would be impossible to write so many love letters to her and prepare a band.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the Earl of the North, Dean would have wanted to recruit him under his command and give advice to his own pickle girl's big plan, first get the daughters of those ministers, so that they would not support other princes.

If only I could.

He most wanted Rhodes to teach him how to conquer elders who were a round older than him, even though he had already entered the bodies of countless women.

But from beginning to end.

The only one he wanted to enter was the one he wanted to enter.

It's just that this one is really hard.

......

And Rod, who was dancing with Elizabeth, had a smile on his face, his eyes were looking at Elizabeth intently, but in his mind, he was thinking about other things.

From beginning to end, he didn't see the Scarlet Witch.

According to the accompanying list, there is indeed her.

Where did it go?

It's to find trouble with the great wizard Ivan.

Or go and do something else.

And this time, the second prince's performance was too quiet, as if he really just came to participate in the harvest festival.

But the quieter it is.

It made Rod more and more uneasy.

It has been a week since the stranger appeared, and no matter how much he closes the news, it is normal for people outside to know.

But even if it is known.

And what can it be.

Anyway, the Wilhelm family has been targeted by other nobles for a century.

Obviously, the northern border is so important.

If it weren't for the people of the north who kept the strange spirits out of the city walls, those big-bellied mentally retarded nobles would have nothing to play with power and games.

I still think about assassinating him all day long.

If you really push him one day.

Rod exercised the power of the Wilhelm family and ordered the Night's Watch to abandon the walls.

Let those strange ghosts wreak havoc on the entire continent!

But......

You can't always think of things as bad.

This time, he hoped that the second prince Diqi would join the assassination team.

If he gets in.

Let him catch the clues, and maybe he can really pull allies!

After all, the group of children of Emperor Jupiter did not have great skills, and fighting each other was first-class.

Since the second prince wanted him to die so much, how could the other princes and princesses watch him expand their power, as long as he let the news out.

There must be someone secretly helping him.

When the time comes, Rhodes will be like they want a little wealth to increase their strength, not too much, 100,000 gold coins will do.

When the time comes, buy him a cart of magic cores, and go to the great wizard first.

Come on, Second Prince.

Come and me!

......

And in the middle of the banquet, the second prince's bodyguard, completely ignoring etiquette, ran in in a panic and whispered a few words in the second prince's ear.

The prince's expression changed in an instant, and he stood up and said, "Count Rhodes, Baron Edward, Miss Elizabeth, I have something to do, and I have to leave first." ”

Rod was taken aback.

It shouldn't be for the second prince to discover the existence of a stranger, otherwise what would he do in such a hurry, but judging from his panicked face, it doesn't feel like it.

"It's not safe at night in the north, why don't you leave tomorrow morning?" Rod said.

"No, I have someone to protect."

"Okay, I'll let the guards escort His Highness along the way." Rod is still not at ease, if he really wants to leave, he will naturally send them away.

"Then I'll go with you." Baron Edward said.

Elizabeth, whose hand was still holding with Rod, said with a red face: "Brother, I like it here, can you live in Neverwinter for a while." ”

"No, you have to go back."

"Brother." Elizabeth pleaded.

"It's a family order." Edward said toughly, jokingly, leaving her alone in Neverwinter, and not giving Rhodes the bastard to swallow not even a bone.
