Chapter 45: Assassination
Charles changed into a gorgeous dress, and his hair was tied up and combed into the usual aristocratic adult hairstyle, and he stood there greeting the arriving nobles one by one, and the muscles on his smiling face were sore.
Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he had never enjoyed this kind of treatment, and he had a feeling that he was living like a year.
He didn't know anyone, but he had to smile and hug each other, and have a few simple words to show closeness.
"It's really troublesome, I knew that my father wouldn't hold this kind of ceremony!" Charles had a smile on his face, and his heart was full of mother's criticism.
Embracing a pockmarked nobleman earlier, it almost made him vomit in disgust.
There was even an older lady rubbing oil without a trace, which made goosebumps pop up all over his body, but he had to endure it.
"Charles, congratulations." Field was also dressed up, no longer the same as before, and after greeting the baron on the side with a mature demeanor, he rushed over to give him a hug very warmly.
"There aren't many people left, you can go and rest first." Baron Bjanno saw his tiredness and smiled and let him go.
Charton breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly left here with Field, running to his study to rest.
"Hehe, there are so many little beauties who looked at you just now, did you have any eyes?" Field grinned, his expression becoming very lewd.
The relationship between the two from childhood to adulthood, and even when they were young, the eggs hurt farther than anyone peeing, so such an iron relationship naturally doesn't need to pretend.
"Get out of the way, I've had enough, a bunch of hypocritical guys!" Charles rubbed his temples with a headache, feeling that the short two hours were more tiring than the whole day of his research.
If he had a choice, he would rather engage in boring research experiments than engage in such interpersonal interactions.
Everyone has a mask of hypocrisy on their faces, which makes him look uncomfortable, not as good as those guinea pigs, everything is real, and even the internal inheritance factors are so charming.
Well, it seems that I am really fit to be a scientist, not a politician!
While Charles was thinking about this, Field, who was standing by the window, suddenly said with some surprise, "Hey, why did the baron invite those people?" ”
"Who?"
Charles stood up as he spoke, walked over to him, and looked outside.
In front of the manor chamber, the guests moved out of the way, and three women in gold-trimmed robes approached.
The clothes they wore were similar to the nun clothes of their previous lives, with black round hats, and their expressions were gentle, with a kind of divine stick temperament of compassion for all beings.
"This seems to be a monastery? I remember my father didn't believe in them, so why did he invite them? He couldn't help but wonder.
Naturally, there are beliefs in this world, but they have not formed a status similar to the state religions such as Buddhism and Taoism in the previous life, but only because they are not officially recognized, but they will not be suppressed.
Most of the people who believe in the gods of the earth, the god of thunder, the god of death and other indescribable existences have formed monasteries, which are famous for doing good deeds and are loved by ordinary people, especially those from poor families.
Because these people often provide free food for believers to eat for free, it is a temptation that cannot be resisted by many people who do not have enough to eat.
But for aristocrats like Bjanno, they become dispensable and do not take it too seriously.
"Well, it seems that there are more and more homeless people coming from the north, and my uncle wants to use these people to settle down the homeless." Field pondered for a moment.
"It should be." Charles nodded.
The brutal lord in the north made countless people unable to eat even the most basic food, so under the demagogy and instigation of some people, they directly carried out a riot and rebellion.
Then a large number of territorial private soldiers suppressed, so that countless people were forced to leave their hometowns and set off for other territories, hoping for a glimmer of life.
However, these people are considered the most unstable factors, and they will also cause a heavy burden, and no territory will accept them casually.
After all, if these people die in large numbers, or even bring plague or something, no one can afford to bear this kind of responsibility at that time.
In this way, with the help of illusory faith, the displaced people can have a spiritual sustenance, so that they can settle down and live and work in peace and contentment.
The two of them hid here for a while, and at the notice of a guard, they straightened their clothes and returned to the guests.
This time Charles is the absolute protagonist, and it is not easy to steal a moment of leisure.
The rite of passage is simple, that is, to hold a banquet, through which the surrounding nobles participate and interact with each other.
Some of those who wanted to befriend Baron Bjanno even tried to marry their daughters to Charles, and there were five such people.
After all, Charles is definitely handsome, and he is the only heir of the Mesterling family, which is enough to make many small nobles excited.
Well, Charles was completely speechless about it, because there were twelve or thirteen-year-old children among them!
Three years, three years...... He thought silently in his heart, but he found that the little Lori was pink and cute, and she would definitely be a big beauty in the future.
The banquet lasted until the sun was about to set, and then it was finally over.
Originally, he wanted to hold a dinner party, but he didn't make it due to Charles's strong opposition, but he was fed up with this kind of entertainment, and he wanted to slam the door and leave.
Charles stood in the gateway, smiling as he watched the guests leave, eager to kick them away.
Before parting, the little Lori's father was still reluctantly pulling him, wanting to continue to introduce his baby daughter.
Little Lori was dressed in a black gothic loli suit, hiding behind her father, looking at him timidly, like a timid and cute little rabbit-
Thinking of the little rabbit, the internal structure of the other party, as well as the inheritance factors, etc., instantly popped up in his mind, making the corners of his mouth twitch and hurriedly turn his head.
"Master Charles, you can come to Stormhaven to play when you have time, Alyssa seems to like you very much." The other party smiled like an old fox, and pulled the little Lori hiding behind him to his side, "Hurry up and say goodbye to your brother Charles." ”
"Brother Charles, goodbye." Little Lori said in a soft and cute voice, lowering her head and not daring to look at him.
As he was leaving, he suddenly turned around and ran, stuffed him with a small doll, and then hurried away.
"Uh, am I so liked by little Lori?" Speechless, he casually threw the doll into his pocket and turned to walk towards Baron Bjanno.
The three nun-dressed men were talking to Bjanno when Charles suddenly felt a sense of discord, because one of them seemed to be amiss. When he looked closely, the man was clearly a thin man!
"Damn, it's been transferred!"
Charles quickly pounced, but he was shocked to see a dagger glowing green from the sleeve of one of them, silently stabbing at the baron who was facing away from her!
Charles roared, "Bastard, give me death!" ”
