Chapter 154: The Real Protagonist
"Seth...... If Mr. and Mrs. Butland were here, they would have taken a family photo. ”
It may sound like a light-hearted joke, but in fact, Draenor is restless inside, with Seth in his hands and Castleler in charge of finances, so that the current leaders of the Butland family have already arrived.
The eldest brother is very different from Castleler, and Seth, who is sitting on the sofa, does not look like an arms dealer at all, and if he does not know his identity, he may be mistaken for a member of the royal family from a foreign land.
"Wait a minute, could that be Mr. Bartley's eldest son? Didn't Mr. Battray say that the two brothers were incompatible? Jeanne turned her head from behind the pillar and looked at Seth.
From the time of the auction, Viklily had already experienced the fierce competition between the brothers, which was really very suspicious, the royal family invited more than one distinguished guest, it was impossible for them not to know the dispute within the Butley family, although there was no superficial dispute, but they did not see the two brothers say hello, it seems that Seth and Castleler have acquiesced to each other's existence.
"Batery himself has been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests for many years, so he must not be able to grasp the situation within the family in time, and perhaps the two brothers have reached some kind of tacit understanding in just a few years."
Viklico's words were convincing, but Draenor always felt that he could see an extraordinary composure in the brothers' expressions, not like they were indifferent to the past, but like they had already planned in their hearts the plans they were going to carry out at the banquet.
Passing by several richly dressed ladies in the hallway, accompanied by the guards, waving lupine fans and laughing, Draenor immediately held back his words and helped Viklico towards the banquet hall.
Just a few hours ago, the deserted hall had been filled with people, and the group standing at the door had to turn around and give way to the servants and guests.
The piano beats to a cheerful rhythm and the hall is bustling, but it's certainly not a good place to talk about private matters. After tiptoeing around the hall, Draenor finally landed on a coffee table on the second floor.
With little to be seen in the vicinity except for a handful of servants, Draenor led the two men along the side wall of the hall, through the crowd, and up the stone steps to the upper floor.
After settling the two of them on the couch at the tea table, Delano continued to the fence on the second floor and looked down at the laughter of the crowd, the tower of wine glasses, and the gilded grand piano......
The view here is very good, with the light he can clearly see everyone's words and deeds, compared to the light on the second floor is relatively dim, no one should deliberately notice the figure of the group.
After checking the surroundings again, Draenor turned around and sat in the middle of the two, savoring what Vickyrico had said not long ago, thinking for a moment, and then turning sideways and saying:
"You say they reached a tacit understanding? I don't think it's that simple, financial resources and military strength can't exist alone, it's obvious that they have always been eyeing each other's part of the power, and of course it's impossible for each of them to take a step back and join forces. ”
Although he had only heard a few stories from the old Butley, Draenor was sure that he had figured out Seth's character, and he did not hesitate to attack the Snowway royal treasury by force in order to achieve his goals, and even killed his young sister in the process.
From those frosty eyes, it is not difficult to tell that he is a ruthless hero, and his younger brother Castleler seems to be completely adapted to the superficial joyous atmosphere of the banquet.
"What you say is not unreasonable, Seth may have planned something, but at least the kid who helped me up doesn't seem that complicated, and believe me, the Misareans rarely make mistakes in judging people......"
Before Viklico could finish speaking, Draenor raised his hand and motioned for her to be quiet for the time being, because while Viklico was analyzing the situation, he clearly saw that the minister downstairs had suddenly left the king's side, walked through the crowd, and walked towards the garden.
Following the minister's figure, Draenor got up and walked down the second-floor hallway to the window, which faced the back garden, and he turned sideways, leaning his left shoulder against the wall, looking out of the window into the garden.
Seeing that the minister did not spend much time on the other guests, after a few casual conversations, he went straight to the most inconspicuous corner of the garden, where Seth was sitting.
Unexpectedly, the moment he noticed the minister approaching, Seth actually stood up on the sofa. After looking around for a while, Minister Dmitry gently pressed into Seth's ear as if to say something, and from the angle of the window, Draenor could clearly see the two gently stretching out their arms and holding each other's hands.
Just as Draenor was about to squint his eyes close to the window, the minister's movements suddenly paused for a few seconds, turned his head to look at the window, and he quickly took a few steps back and crouched down, fortunately not being noticed by the guy.
Without a moment's hesitation, Draenor turned around and hurried over to the coffee table, seated back in his place.
"It's rude to interrupt someone, unless you see something interesting." Vikili said to Draenor in a hoarse voice that is characteristic of older people.
"Jeanne, did you notice where Castleler went from entering the hall?" Draenor asked Jeanne calmly.
"Well, he seems to have been at the piano since we got to the second floor, and he hasn't seen anyone talk to him." Jeanne replied by pointing to the corner downstairs.
Hunched over and looking down, the guy was indeed standing by the piano, holding a plate full of pastries in his hand, swaying slightly to the cheerful rhythm, and it seemed that the young Castleler did not care much about the thoughts of the people around him, but simply enjoyed the pleasure of the feast.
"Are you suspicious of something? Didn't Seth just stay outside and entertain himself all the time? ”
"Entertaining yourself?" Draenor's tone suddenly became serious, and he lowered his head and lowered his voice to continue, "Castleler was the only one who entertained himself from beginning to end, and I could clearly see from the window just now that the minister seemed to be discussing something with Seth, and even reached some kind of agreement. ”
He tugged the brim of his hat down slightly, so that cold sweat would not slip down his forehead and obscure his vision, "Castleler is a young man who is easily satisfied, and he has inherited enough fortune to squander his life, and that should be enough for him." As for his eldest brother, he will not hesitate to pay any price in order to satisfy his ambitions, and it is precisely such a greedy person who often has extraordinary use value. ”
Vicilico listened quietly to Draenor's words, and couldn't help but swallow, "In other words, the minister also saw this, so he planned to use Seth to plan something with him?" ”
"That's right......" Draenau's voice seemed to tremble, as if he had guessed what was going to happen next, "it seems that we have always been used to being self-centered, and from the beginning the main character of the banquet was not us, but Castleler. ”
