The banquet hall of the Principality Palace www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion became a sea of joy on this day, and at Leo's expense, the expensive lamp oil in this era was used almost profligately, the walls, the tabletops...... Wherever lighting could be placed, the oil reserved for the nobility did not smell pungent, but instead filled the hall with an intoxicating rosin!

Hundreds of well-trained servants, under the supervision of the knights of the guards, weave through the venue with heartfelt smiles of joy like butterflies, and plates of sumptuous and exquisite food are served on the table for guests to enjoy

Spices worth as much as gold are available without limits, a wide variety of fresh fruit is washed and hung with crystal droplets of water in large baskets, and gold and silver cutlery is carved with countless intricate carvings, among which even the most humble plate can be treated as a work of art

From precious and full-bodied wines, sweet and pleasant mead, refreshing rums to Léo's exclusive preference for barley that was once not on the table, every nobleman and lady can choose their favorite, and fruit juices are sure to become the new favourites of some young people

Everything here is enough to dazzle people to the point of envy and amazement, not to mention commoners, even if many of the Barons and Counts enter the hall with a mentality that can be called almost pilgrimage, and they desperately use their brains to remember everything they have seen and tasted, which in the future will be enough for them to boast about and exalt themselves in social circles

According to Leo's order, for the first time on this continent, a buffet similar to the earth was adopted, where guests could take food and drink at will, and the relatively relaxed and casual environment would make the status gap less obvious, and everyone could choose the circle of communication and conversation relatively freely

I have to say that this form of dining, which was strongly opposed by the housekeeper Lao Garin at the beginning, was admired from the bottom of my heart among the participating nobles, don't be confused by the history tampered with by the West, in an era similar to the Middle Ages on Earth, Westerners are the most barbaric group in the eyes of Eastern civilization without exception

Hygiene, diet and countless other living habits are enough to make people criticize, not to mention that the so-called romantic place of a young woman on the earth was once called the "dung capital", nor to mention that the empress of a so-called gentleman's country has only bathed three times in her life, just talking about the meal, not to mention that it is not comparable to the comprehensive and exquisite Oriental diet, and even the most basic hygiene can not be done

Commoners and aristocrats alike prefer to use their hands rather than tools when dining, and if you see a count rubbing the soles of his feet while munching on a roast meat sprinkled with spices, rest assured that it will not be an illusion......

Fortunately, Leo has deliberately avoided and changed these since he began to rule the Northern Territory from the beginning of his arrival, and subtly, these nobles, especially those close to him, have changed very much, at least they have begun to adapt to the use of knives and forks, and began to habitually clean their mouths before talking, and the public baths that Stormwind City began to gradually build, and those lords loyal to Leo began to follow suit in the territory, plus the establishment of sewage pipes, and the hygiene habits developed under strict control, It makes this place more like a medieval scene described in the book than it is real......

Holding his fiancée's arm, Leo has not stopped shuttling in it since the beginning of the banquet, the golden cup in his hand is familiar and enthusiastic and gently touches every nobleman he sees, at this moment he has no shelf at all, everyone even the lowest status baron, can have a simple conversation with him to share the joy in his heart

The warm fire and intoxicating wine made the hundreds of nobles who participated in this feast feel like they were in a dream, and no one wanted to leave! Outside, all the civilians of Stormwind are also sharing in the happiness and joy of their lord, and under the orders of Leo, Stormwind will begin a week-long celebration under the dual organization of official and civil organizations, during which every registered citizen, regardless of status, can receive a gift from Leo, a silver coin, a sausage, and a piece of white bread from the municipal officials scattered in each area......

Although Leo almost emptied all the food stocks of the caravans and reduced the number of gold coins to and from the palace, listening to the heartfelt cheers from outside the palace made him feel that these were valuable at the same time.

Since it is a ball, it must be indispensable to the meaning, after a short period of excitement and greetings, under the signal of Leo, the band played a pleasant music, the form of a buffet makes it easy for the crowd to gather around, and let the center leave a spacious enough open space, after the preliminary preparation of the dance floor, every piece of marble floor is polished by the diligent craftsmen to shine brightly

As if feeling the eager and blessed gaze of everyone, Leo knew that the first dance would belong to him, and he gently broke free of his arm, turned around and walked around Elena's side, with an unconcealed smile between his eyebrows, like the most earnest gentleman, with one hand behind his back behind his back and bent over his chest and bent down to speak gently

"Beautiful young lady, I wonder if I am lucky enough to invite you to a dance?"

Surprise, tenderness, and a strong love that could not be dissolved instantly appeared on Elena's face, and she subconsciously bit her lip, and the girl suddenly smiled happily, just like the first time she met Leo, she gently lifted the corner of her skirt and frowned the cute Joan nose

"Of course, my love, but ...... I hope you don't step on my feet again this time......"

"Boom ......"

There was a kind laugh around, and the nobles who had participated in the banquet in the imperial capital of the Lancaster family kept chuckling and talking to their companions around them, Leo was somewhat embarrassed to take the soft wattle handed out by Elena, and slowly stepped onto the dance floor with his fiancée who was covering his mouth and chuckling......

The two palms intersected, the faces were almost together, feeling the sweet and warm breath of the other party, Leo gently wrapped his other hand around the girl's willow waist, stepping on the rhythm of the music, and the two began to dance under the gaze of everyone

With the end of the first dance song of the two, the nobles also took the hands of the ladies around them and joined the ranks, and the atmosphere at this moment changed from warm to romantic, and the ubiquitous whispers added a little intoxicating ambiguity and softness

Today's Duke of Lancaster seemed to have a new life, politely declined the invitation of a noblewoman, he looked at Leo and Elena in the center of the dance floor, took a sip of the red wine in the glass, and said with some emotion to the Marquis of Hohenzollern beside him

"When I saw them, I really realized that our group of people is already old, whether the empire can survive in the future or not, I am no longer worried, the family is always more important than everything, right, old partner!"

Gently touching the wine glass with the duke, the marquis, who was also slightly drunk, smiled

"Yes, the family has always been ...... Oh my God, what is that!! ”

Before he finished speaking, just before the smile on the face of the Marquis of Hohenzollern could disappear, he suddenly pointed to the center of the dance floor in a crazy gaffe, and suddenly raised his harsh voice to make the surroundings appear momentarily stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the dance floor, making the face of His Excellency the Duke, who had always been calm, instantly pale

There, Elena looked at her lover in front of her in fear, Leo still had a thick smile on his face as if he didn't have any discomfort, but his body gradually began to become transparent from the lower half of his body, and the speed was so fast that it had completely disappeared from the chest down in the blink of an eye that everyone had just discovered......

Even in this happy time, Finn and Keith, who were still watching Leo's surroundings at all times, reacted the fastest, and before anyone else could exclaim, the two leaders of the Punishment Knight burst out at the same time, and the snow bright [prayer] was instantly unsheathed, rudely knocking over all the people who stood in the way, and came to Leo and Elena in a few leaps, and it was only at this time that Leo noticed his change, and his face didn't even have time to turn into astonishment, and he completely disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in Elena's crying, leaving no ......

Finn, who has always been relatively introverted, could no longer be calm this time, the arm holding the sword and the strong body could not suppress the desperate trembling, and turned to protect Elena tightly behind him, he and Keith and Anthony and Aldalyan, who came later, the eyes of several people swept over the dance floor and all the dead corners in the hall in an instant, and fear spread throughout the whole body of these powerful knights in an instant, and no abnormality was the most terrible thing

Without thinking about it at all, Finn's face took on a terrifying look after a brief period of horror, and the long sword slashed at the place where Leo disappeared, and the Grand Master of the Punishment Knight roared frantically

"All the knights of punishment immediately seal the palace, no one is allowed to go out and have contact with the outside world, if there is a violator, regardless of identity, there will be no mercy!!"

The good spatial transmission effect made his voice reverberate loudly, and the last three words continued to echo throughout the palace from the inside out

"No ...... forgiveness"

"No ...... forgiveness"

Seeing the Punishment Knights running frantically to occupy key locations and go out to give orders, Finn's blood-red eyes swept past Keith, who was still a little stunned, like a lone wolf covered in bruises, and roared in his ear in a tone that had never been cold before

"You personally go outside and inform everyone, Al, Kane, Tyr, Edward, Pericles, Tydamir, I don't care what you do to Keith, all the people must be notified to me as soon as possible, Stormwind City is completely under martial law, from now on, no one, not even a single bedbug is allowed to leave, until you find the adult, I authorize you to use any means to do this!"

Pushing Keith away, Finn's gaze slowly swept over all the nobles in the audience like a knife, and the undisguised killing intent contained in it made even the Duke of Lancaster subconsciously lower his eyes and dare not look at him, at this time, the somewhat sluggish Elena eased up, he cried and grabbed Finn's arm and asked hoarsely

"Leo, where did he go? He's going to be fine, right? What's going on? ”

Turning his head, facing the sobbing girl Fein Tieqing's face was a little warmer, Anthony next to him glanced at him, stepped forward and said to Elena in a voice that was as controlled as possible

"Don't worry ma'am, your life shouldn't be in danger, as his direct knights, we have a connection with adults that ordinary people can't understand, it's no longer safe here, please allow me to send you back first, I swear to you, your lord will definitely come back!"

Hearing Anthony's words, Finn took a long breath and calmed down a little, he understood that the other party had a sentence to him, that is, as the Knights of Punishment who came together, if Leo really encountered an accident, they would definitely disappear with it, since this is the case, it means that Leo is still safe at least for now......

Nodding to Anthony slightly, watching the other party recruit several maids to help Elena who had lost the ability to walk away, the Grand Master held his chin and fell into deep thought, where did Leo go?
