Under the arrangement of Leo regardless of the cost, a large number of torches and candles mixed with spices illuminate the entire hall with golden brilliance, with artistic murals, just the right decorations, everyone in the staggered crowd seems to be in the palace dinner.

"No, I'm afraid none of His Majesty's banquets have been so intoxicating......" With great satisfaction, the Marquis of Auston swallowed a piece of golden and crispy roast meat sprinkled with spices, put down his knife and fork, and applauded lightly at Leo on the throne.

On the other side, Antonis looked at the tableware containing food in front of him with some greed, if there was a set of such tableware, it would be enough to become the focus of everyone at any banquet in the imperial capital, attracting the admiring eyes of countless ladies and noblewomen.

The banquet specially prepared for the two of them has been going on for a while, and several people have tacitly agreed not to talk about the topic of the Northern Territory in this environment, and some relaxed exchanges have made everyone very interested.

On this occasion, Antonis was even more at ease, constantly talking about the affairs of the imperial capital and nobles, many of which made Leo have to sigh secretly, your circle is really messy......

Naturally, both of them were full of praise for the spices and drinks provided by Leo, and the Marquis of Auston, who was very discerning, even asserted that such fine and wonderful spices could be used as a fine product in the auction even in the imperial capital.

Leo was not stingy at the moment, and directly asked the housekeeper to pack dozens of catties of various spices and give them to the two of them, which was so cheap that he still had a large number of items in the system.

As a guest accompanying the banquet, one of the deputy captains of the Imperial Glory Knights and three Punishment Knights including Fain also attended the banquet, while the Noldor Lord was absent because he hated such occasions so much.

Eventually, the banquet came to an end with the joy of both the host and the guests, and after the final round of toasting, Leo put down the empty silver cup in his hand, and his voice was a little high-pitched because of the alcohol

"My dear friends, your presence has made an ordinary evening so wonderful, but I still have to regret to announce that the banquet is coming to an end, as nobles, a proper rest can keep us alive and energetic to deal with affairs, please, my friends, in your temporary room, there is a gift that I have carefully prepared......"

"Of course, the banquet was amazing, as guests we felt your sincerity, you are a true gentleman!"

According to aristocratic tradition, after Leo finished speaking, the Marquis of Auston immediately stood up and took the lead in expressing his satisfaction with his master's hospitality, and even Antonis let go of the hand that grabbed the maid and got up to do his due courtesy.

Signaling to the butler behind him, Old Garin clapped his hands gently, and several carefully selected young and beautiful maids walked up with a smile like a flower, and a group of two supported a few people with soft arms, even the deputy head of the Glorious Knights did not fall behind.

"Giggle~ Please come with us, respected adults, we will take you back to your room......"

Leo stretched out his arms slightly exaggeratedly, laughed and said, "Go, my friends, enjoy a wonderful evening, please don't refuse my gift!" ā€

"Hahaha" After exchanging a look that all men understand, the marquis and the marquis bowed slightly, and they were supported by the maids and left the banquet hall......

After sitting quietly for a while, and after confirming that the few people had completely left, Leo asked the butler to send the servants who cleaned up the room out, and drank a few sips of warm water to moisten his dry throat after drinking, and his eyes became extremely clear, no longer the chaos he had disguised before.

Holding his shoulders and thinking for a few minutes, he asked the three Finns, who had not left, "What do you think of these two nobles, friends?" The three people in front of him and the Noldor Lord who hadn't come were the descendants that Leo could really believe in at the moment, and he wanted to hear their opinions.

With a rare shrug, Finn said, "You know, we're only good at fighting, not anything else, but the vice-captain of the Imperial Glory Knights is a bit interesting."

"Oh?" Leo, who didn't have much hope, was a little surprised, "Tell me, if you can get Finn's attention, is he a real master?" ā€

"Master? No, you've misunderstood, let Keith explain it to you, I'm really reluctant to talk about people behind my back" Finn and Anthony smiled at each other and pushed the topic to the youngest Keith.

"Damn, am I like a little man with a broken mouth behind my back......" Keith rolled his eyes at the two of them, and reluctantly explained to Leo

"Maybe that knight used to be a real warrior, but now it seems that his body has been hollowed out by wine, don't ask me how I know my lord, this is a warrior's intuition, I can feel that if on the battlefield, this knight with a great name is not even Andrew's opponent."

Spreading his hands, Keith picked up a piece of fruit and nibbled on a few bites, "If the Knights of Glory, who are the main force of the empire to suppress the Quartet, have become like this, my lord, what you said is really right, this empire may have reached the point of terminal illness." ā€

"That is, if one day the Knights of Punishment or the Knights of Dawn take on them, we will easily win, right?" Touching his chin, Leo asked thoughtfully.

"Vulnerable!" Anthony took over the topic with a smile, "I think even in the Pander Continent, Fieldsway's group of Valkyrie knights with disorderly private lives can easily defeat them, of course, if their knights are like this." ā€

Well, the unanimous conclusion of the three captains made Leo even more excited, and he couldn't help but become more curious and interested in the imperial capital that he was going to......

*****************************

Looking at the marquis again, not to mention Antonis, who had already begun to support his maid on the road, Auston held back the sleepiness that kept rising after drinking, waved his hand to let the maids wait outside the door first, and forced the reluctant deputy head into his room.

He lit the candle with his own hands and said to the other party who was yawning, "Saru, today you also met several knight captains under Leo, I need your assessment, the empire needs the summary of this information, Your Majesty is very concerned about this matter!" ā€

"What else? Since they have the ability to kill that jackal, it means that the knights under the command of this lord still have some strength. ā€

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had one-eighth of the royal blood, Deputy Head Saru really didn't want to pay attention to the marquis, as a high-ranking knight directly under the royal family, he did have this capital.

Thinking of the two seductive maids outside, his body became hot again after drinking, and he impatiently interrupted the marquis's follow-up inquiry, Saru said very quickly

"Don't worry, my lordship, no matter what, whether it's Orlando or this outsider Leo, if there is a need, the Knights of Glory loyal to Your Majesty can easily crush them, I never think a group of northern hillbillies are a threat...... Belch! Sorry, I think I really need to rest, sir! ā€

With a sour burp, Saru pretended not to see the Marquis's displeasure, nodded casually, opened the door and put his arms around his two maids, and walked back to his room amid a coquettish smile and a plea for mercy.

"This stupid pig, if it's not the second prince...... How can you let this kind of person get mixed up with Your Majesty" The marquis, who was secretly ruthless, had no other way to do this, and motioned to the maid at the door who thought he had done something wrong and was a little scared to come in, and he was not ready to refuse the kindness of his master after two months of travel, after all, these were the norm among nobles.

However, Auston was still a little curious about the gift that Leo said in the end, and under the guidance of the maid, the moment he opened the box in the room, the yellow bright metal light even made him a little dizzy for a while, and he hugged his mouth and exclaimed the maid's waist, and the marquis muttered

"It's a well-prepared gift...... Mysterious Lord Leo, you are really an interesting person......"
