Volume 1 The Noble Viscount Chapter 87 A Luncheon with Music
The encounter with Anneway was only a trivial episode, and Roque couldn't understand how the other party would come out of his way to say such things to him.
"I wonder if the servants in the castle can be so free. Roque casually asked Felix beside him.
"Of course not, only strict rules can make them obedient. ”
"So, what happened to that girl just now, is she also here to be a guest?"
Felix glanced at Roque and said directly, "Anne Wei is a student of Lord Knight, so she is not bound by these rules. ”
"I kind of understand now why she said that to me. ”
With a smile on Roque's face, after this little episode, the burden in his heart seemed to be lightened a lot, and the knight was a mountain that he couldn't climb over at the moment.
From warriors to war divisions, almost all of them are fighting to make it stronger, and when it comes to the knight stage, they can already use their fighting energy at will, so that it can exert its terrifying power.
Control and use are two completely different concepts, knights can easily master the fighting spirit, and any powerful warrior will become small and humble in front of them.
Roque stopped his visit to the castle because Gough's luncheon had been prepared, and at the huge table, the servants were opening wine.
A maid sat quietly in the corner by the window, playing the piano, and the opening song was a quiet piece that could be relaxed.
There are several lunches on the table, which look like they're full of portions, and in addition to high-calorie foods like bisque, fried lamb chops, and so on, it's hard to imagine how much you can't imagine.
"Roque, please be seated. ”
Gao Fu sat down generously, skillfully opened the napkin and placed it, and then smiled at the other party.
"Thank you. When Roque was seated, the servant poured him a cup of hot honey tea, and because the table was so long, the servant would not leave, and would stand until the end of the luncheon, during which he would help the diners fetch food that was out of reach.
"I don't think there are any guests who have come, or there will be no one to eat those three lunches. Roque took off his glasses and said casually that no one was sitting at the table before the lunches.
Gough called Roque's habit a quirk, and he was no longer weird, but he couldn't understand why he was wearing a pair of black glasses, which looked terrible.
He knew that the other party was a "blind man", but his actions were more agile than normal people, and it was the first time that Gao Fu had seen such a person who had gathered contradictions in his life.
"Yes, one of my retinues, Felix, with whom you should be well acquainted, and a powerful knight who has just sworn allegiance to me, and a student of the knight, Anneway, turned out to be a maid of the manor. ”
After Gough finished speaking, he quietly drank tea, he knew very well that the other party's story would end today, and his life would come to an end here in the castle, so he was in a particularly good mood.
To his enemies, Gough showed an aristocratic demeanor, and he wanted to make Roque feel his hospitable, and even the luncheon was prepared with great care.
"I don't think we're late, I just happened to be here at the appointed time. Outside the gate, three people slowly walked in.
Hofos walked in front, and Anne and Felix followed him slightly, a body distance between them.
The servant guarding the door slowly closed the door, and at this time Gough stood up and said politely, "Welcome, Hoforth, this is the guest of the castle today, Roque, he is an interesting man." ”
Under Goff's threading of the needle, Roque shook hands with the powerful knight, and then Anneway officially met, as for Felix, there was no need for this, the friendship between them was all out of battle and was very reliable.
The only thing that Goff overlooked was probably Roque's expression, and since Hofoss's arrival, his face had lost that calmness and vaguely showed excitement.
The clever Gough didn't ignore the subtle change, he took it as nervousness, yes, felt that Roque was already feeling nervous and uneasy.
"So, let's start eating, today's fried lamb chops are delicious. Gough felt a little proud in his heart, feeling that his arrangement had surprised Roque, and this was only the beginning of the victory.
Roque seemed distracted, and the food in front of him didn't have much of an appeal to him, and he noticed that Hoforths, who was sitting across from him, kept smiling at him.
Anne was eating her lunch cautiously, occasionally looking at Roque, who had not found a chance to talk to Hoforth alone, and her heart was full of worry.
"Roque, is the lunch not to your taste, if that's the case, I'll order you to go down and rearrange it for you. Gough, who was sitting on the throne, asked with concern.
"No bother, it's good already, I'm just not hungry. ”
Roque responded casually, his attention was almost on Hofors at this time, he didn't expect that his next encounter with the other party would be on such an occasion.
"What happened to your eyes, this Roque?"
Suddenly, Hoforth asked something inexplicably.
Gough looked at him curiously, but did not speak, for by now everything was going according to his plan, and he was a patient man, at least he had to wait until the luncheon was over to show his fangs.
"There was an accident, but it doesn't matter, I'm used to it, and losing it has allowed me to see the world more clearly. ”
Sensing Hofus's concern, Roque said with a smile that if the time hadn't allowed, he really wanted to have a good chat with the other party.
"It's all gone, I'm sure everything will be fine, speaking of which, I once stayed in a small town, and that time was so nostalgic, the girl who guarded the tavern, two angelic elves, and an ambitious boy, but unfortunately they couldn't go back. ”
Horfors's face was full of emotion, and he had said these words to Roque, because only he understood.
"Those who have met in their lives, there will always be a day when we meet my former relatives, those two little ones are always surprising me, they love to make jam. ”
Hofos smiled, then he raised his glass and said respectfully to Gough, "Thank you for the invitation, the lunch is delicious, the music is beautiful, I like it." ”
"The banquet is as much for Roque as it is for you, my knight. Gough smiled with satisfaction and raised his glass in the same way.
The atmosphere of the luncheon was so harmonious that Anne Wei even had some illusions that there was no mission to kill people at all.
Felix was in a similar mood to her, but she always felt that something was wrong, and after racking her brains, she couldn't say it, and I was afraid that the two of them were the ones who had the least appetite in the audience.
As the last piano piece ended, the people at the table were gone, and the servants were cleaning up the pieces, and even though there was still a lot of food left, they did not dare to take it for themselves.
The steward in charge of this part is staring at it, these foods have a great effect, and he can bring himself gold coins.
After leading the guests to sit down and rest for a while, Goff was about to show his fangs, and the strange atmosphere slowly grew among the few of them.
"Roque, my knight is very interested in your strength, so let's not waste such a good weather, let's go to the training ground to communicate. ”
Gough said politely, the smile on his face disappearing imperceptibly, replaced by a sometimes cold glow.
