Chapter 214: The Banquet Continues

Yes, I also have the support of Young Master Watt, the son of the Duke of Etro, and I still have a chance.

Crofts hurriedly turned his gaze to Watt, only to find that the other man looked at him like a mouse, full of disgust, and did not have the slightest gentleness towards him at the beginning of the feast.

It's over, it's over......

Crofts sat on his knees limpantly.

He knew that in the face of absolute strength, a person like him who floated like no roots could not resist at all, and no matter how much he quibbled now, it would be useless.

There will be no second ending in the face of Croves's act of nearly assassinating an earl and his heir and stealing the family property.

Seeing Croves slumped on the ground, Earl Hall shook his head and ordered, "Take him down, and the others on the list." ”

Then, more than a dozen imposing guards rushed outside the castle gates, forcibly detaining Crofts and several nobles.

"Let it go! Why are you arresting me? ”

"Lord Earl, Lord Earl, I have been wronged."

"This must be a misunderstanding, Lord Count, I, Croro, have never betrayed you."

"Earl, please listen to my explanation."

Several of the nobles who were escorted down pleaded for mercy from Earl Hall.

Count Hall remained expressionless as if they were non-existent.

And Gu Fan's gaze swept around the nobles.

Gu Fan knew that there were at least ten or more nobles who had defected to Croaves in this hall.

The reason why they didn't do anything to them is that their behavior did not exceed Count Hall's bottom line, plus these nobles are in high-level positions in the Hall Domain, and many nobles also have marriages with each other.

Earl Hall then walked to the front of the hall.

"I'm sorry to see the bad side, but this banquet will not stop, and I will make an important announcement here."

Earl Hall paused and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will gradually delegate the affairs of the Hall Territory to my son Philemon, and he will manage all the affairs of the Hall Territory on my behalf, and I believe that he will do better than me." ”

The aristocrats looked at each other, not even believing what they were hearing.

You must know that the Earl of Hall speaks of decentralization, which is almost equivalent to giving everything but the title to his son, which is almost rare among the nobles with real power.

When the previous generation of nobles was still alive, no matter how old and powerless he was, he was reluctant to hand over the power to his heirs.

Usually it is just a matter of delegating the management of a part of the territory so that after his death, the heirs can have better control over the territory.

And there is hardly a transfer of power like now, when those in power still have the ability to do so.

There are undoubtedly four things that men value in the world, power, strength, money, and beauty.

Among them, power is undoubtedly the most fascinating, even if you are old, even if you are tired, even if you already have a qualified heir, you will still firmly control power in your own hands.

However, the aristocrats were somewhat well-informed, and the hall was soon reminded of the ceremonial applause used to celebrate the occasion.

The banquet continued, but this time not for any wedding, but to celebrate Philippon's beginning to take control of the Hall.

After announcing this, Earl Hall took his leave, citing his ill health.

Earl Hall's physical condition is not good, compared to the people Gu Fan treated before, he can only be regarded as barely revived, and he has been eroded too much by the dark energy, and he has no years to live.

This is also the reason why he will make the transfer of power, coupled with the experience of almost going to the ghost gate this time, he is also a little less optimistic about the matter of power.

In the banquet, Philippon deservedly became the protagonist of it.

And after him, Gu Fan is the second most popular person.

Especially those school-age girls who were brought to the banquet by their elders secretly promised him, at their age like buds, there has always been no resistance to people like Gu Fan who have both handsome appearance and good temperament.

Not to mention that Gu Fan also cured Count Hall and became a well-deserved celebrity in Hall Territory.

Naturally, many ladies in the banquet set their eyes on Gu Fan, compared to the future duke's son Watt and the future earl Philimon, Gu Fan's appearance is undoubtedly the most outstanding, and there is no attitude of these two noble young masters who refuse to be thousands of miles away, making them feel that they can have a spring festival with Gu Fan.

"Mr. Gray, may I call you Brother Gray?"

"Mr. Gray, I wonder if you have time after the feast? I have a lot of church books in my house......"

"Mr. Gray, I've been a little restless when I've been sleeping at home lately, can you come and help me take a look?"

"Brother Gray, do you think I'm beautiful?"

“......”

Faced with the aggressive gaze of these aristocratic girls and noblewomen, Gu Fan pretended not to notice it, but dealt with their provocative words very politely, giving people a gentle and polite feeling, but they couldn't grasp it.

This is naturally not that Gu Fan is completely unscrupulous, you must know that among this group of girls and noblewomen, there are many existences that are in line with him, but after nearly one hundred and fifty years in the previous world, he has now looked down on the affairs of men and women.

Don't say that he doesn't have that kind of idea now, and even if he does, he won't just find some people.

Half a day.

After Gu Fan saw that there were a lot of people surrounding him, he had no choice but to chat a few more words and found a reason to get out of this group of warblers and swallows.

After coming out of the crowd, Gu Fan was about to find a corner to hide his figure a little, but a voice came.

"Son of Gray."

Gu Fan turned his head to look and found that Philippon beckoned to him, so he walked over.

Filipon had some symptoms, to stand at a dining table, and next to him, which was Diana who was wearing some white wedding dress,

It was only then that Gu Fan had time to set his eyes on Diana.

I saw Diana quietly looking at Gu Fan with a little cherry mouth open, with a hint of innocence and curiosity in her eyes.

After discovering that Gu Fan was also looking at her, Diana hurriedly looked away like a panicked deer, and a slight trace appeared on her snow-white cheeks.

"Holy Son of Gray," after seeing Gu Fan coming over, Philemon said with a smile, "Let me introduce you, this is my sister Diana." ”

As he spoke, Philippon introduced Diana again: "This is a special invitation from the outside, Gray Holy Son, if it weren't for his help along the way, Diana, I'm afraid you will never see your brother again." ”
