The magic lamp hanging overhead radiated a bright brilliance, the corner of the room was lit with herbs, and in front of the fruit that had been kept fresh by magic stones, and outside the mansion was a drinking party for the nobles.

In the staggered planning, the gentlemen are invited, and the ladies dance gracefully,

Everything seems so cosy and natural, full of drunken gold fans.

As a commoner, Lorena swears.

She had never seen such a gorgeous and bright hall, nor had she ever seen fruit that could be preserved well in winter, and she was dazzled by the food that was presented at the cocktail party outside.

And most importantly –

Lorena looked up, her eyes glancing over.

Lord Richie of Hearthcastle, Lord Mason of White Rock Mountain, Lord Roger of Salorrhing, and Lord Agnes of this Oside.

And there's...

Lorena looked respectfully at Simon beside her.

Lord of the Grey Moon, Master Simon.

Looking at that young and handsome face, Lorina couldn't help but straighten her waist.

Nothing to fear!

Young Master Simon is also one of the five lords in the west, so there is nothing to show at all!

In addition, there were many small lords at the scene, and they greeted each other together, which could be regarded as lively for a while.

"Lorena."

Simon spoke suddenly.

"Yes, Master Simon." Lorina half-bowed.

"You open the window behind me."

Simon said expressionlessly, "I can't stand it." I'm going to throw up. ”

“... Yes, Simeon-sama. Lorina opened her mouth in disbelief, then replied respectfully and stepped back.

Seeing that she went to open the window as she was told, Simon couldn't help but rub his temples.

This group of living treasure nobles.

It is understandable to close the windows in winter, but there are so many people in this hall, and there are herbs lit in the corners, plus the smell of spices mixed with these nobles.

These flavors are mixed together in a confined space... It's so sour...

Simon felt that the nobleman who was over thirty years old had not taken a bath for more than ten days and stood in front of him, and the foul smell made him frown.

I really want to go back soon.

I miss my Scourge.

The delicacies of the mountains and seas outside, which have the fragrance of leeks in their own land?

Simon thought expressionlessly, as he reached out and tapped on the table:

"We're almost all here, so let's stop wasting any more time and get straight to the point."

"Hahaha, Lord Simon is still the same as before, this kind of straightforward young man's personality is really enviable."

There was a heroic laugh from the side, and Simon turned his head just in time to see a middle-aged man with a rough face and a beard on his chin looking at him.

The Lord of Castle Ridge looks like a middle-aged man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, but he is also one of those people Simon doesn't like to deal with.

"Hehe, young and frivolous, this is also the advantage of young people in a sense."

A sharp and feminine voice came from the side, attracting everyone's attention.

The Mason City Lord of Baishi Mountain, a middle-aged man, had an extremely feminine face, and the person he was targeting felt as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake.

This Mason lord was a nobleman who wore a pair of pants with Agnes of Osside.

Sometimes Simon really wonders if the other party is with Agnes who often rolls the sheets... Ah, the topic is far away.

Anyway, it's not a good thing.

Simon yawned and turned his gaze, not bothering to pay attention to Mason's words.

Sensing Simon's expression of not wanting to bother with him at all, Mason gritted his teeth and bruised on his forehead.

If Simon had sneered, Mason wouldn't have been so uncomfortable, after all, it showed that his ridicule had taken effect on him.

But... What does this look of disregard mean?

Boom!

Mason stood up, his face distorted:

"You're... An imp in the imperial capital who has no etiquette! Isn't there anyone who teaches you to respect your elders? ”

"......" Simon.

In the end, it was the lord of White Rock City who was supported by Agnes, and he didn't even have this stomach.

Or is it... Mason's performance was actually signaled by Agnes?

Simon ignored the angry Mason and looked up at the remaining two.

Lord Roger of Salo Ridge and Lord of Osside Agnes.

Roger is a young lord who has just succeeded to the throne, and Simon has a good personal relationship with him.

And the other Agnes...

He was a middle-aged man, who looked shrewd and capable, with his hair tucked back in one place and wearing a sumptuous formal suit.

Simon stared at the other man's face for a long time before finally turning his head.

Because Simon has been ignoring Mason, this lord of White Rock City is already looking at it, and he can't wait to eat Simon directly in his stomach now.

Looking at the other party's distorted feminine face, even Lolina couldn't help but open her mouth, and a trace of surprise flashed in Linen's eyes.

This... It's completely different from the aristocracy she remembers.

Shouldn't true aristocrats be elegant everywhere and at all times? How could the Lord of White Rock City, one of the five major lords, lose his temper to such an extent?

"But that's what the nobility is." Simon's voice rang in Lorena's ears.

"Master Simon?" Lorina turned her head in surprise.

"There are actually many idiots like this who are not worthy of the position and are not worthy of the position. They only need to have a good background to be born well fed and clothed... And because of that, they don't care about it. ”

Simon tilted his head and smiled on his face:

"In winter, you will only hear about the starvation and cold death of some poor people in a certain place, but you will never hear that the nobles of that place are dying of cold and starvation. This is true even for the lowest titles of nobility. ”

Because, the system of the empire has long been corrupted from the inside out.

The collapse of a country with a corrupt system is an inevitable trend.

However, these nobles are still unknown, and they use the looted wealth to decorate their mansions and eat the flesh and blood of the people every day.

Make people laugh!

Thinking of this, Simon calmly looked at Agnes, who was on the right.

"Agnes, if you're calling me here just to watch this farce, then please forgive me for not accompanying me any more."

As he spoke, he patted the top hat in his hand and added:

"Thanks to the problems left over from a certain previous lord, my realm now has a lot of internal affairs."

Uh-

Listening to Simon's words, the faces of all the small nobles and little lords below changed in unison, and they all looked at Agnes.

Simon: This is no longer a tactful sarcasm, this is simply a face.

Because the previous lord of the Grey Moon Fortress was none other than Agnes.

Silent.

There was a long silence.

After a long while, a voice was heard:

"Lord Mason, calm down a little."

Agnes calmed Mason's emotions and spoke:

"Since Lord Simon wants to get to the point quickly, then the meeting will no longer drag on, let's get straight to it."

Agnes and Mason looked at each other and said in unison:

"This time it's mainly about-"

"There's a question about the impact of the Scourge Red Star."
