Outside the castle gates, the servants greeted the guests invited by the Marshall Knight, who were the surrounding lords and the nobles of Harvest City, 100 miles away, and from this point of view, the Marshall Knight's friends were more extensive, of course, this was inseparable from his family background.

The evening takes place in the castle's hall, lit up by hundreds of huge smokeless candles, and attracts the taste buds with wine from the Duchy's capital city of Bagang and fresh game from the forest behind the castle.

It was already dark, the hall was full of guests, no one would be late for this kind of ball, compared to the diversity of nighttime leisure activities on earth, the people of this world were very scarce in evening activities. The poor could not afford to light expensive oil lamps at night, so they rested early. The nobles' evening activities were only to read books, and the nobles in the city would have the opportunity to listen to opera, but those performances were not held every day.

The cost of holding a ball is very large, and the average nobleman can only hold one or two such parties a year, and no more can afford it.

Abel's Bennett Knight Leader had never held this kind of gathering since he could remember, and he didn't know how Marshall Knight managed money, so he should really let Bennett Knight and Marshall Knight learn how to manage money, Abel thought.

Abel was the protagonist of the day, so he rested on the second floor of the hall with Knight Marshall, and waited until Lindsay, the butler in a black tuxedo downstairs, shouted, "Please respect Knight Marshall and Young Master Abel." ”

Everyone applauded, and the Marshall Knight slowly walked down the stairs with Abel, nodding to the guests. And when the Marshall Knight raised his glass, the atmosphere of the ball was at its peak.

At tonight's ball, Abel didn't know anyone except Marshall Knight, and he was not yet 13 years old, and no lady came to invite him to dance.

"Lucky brunette kid. ”

"yes, that's a lucky guy. ”

"Why don't I have a share in such a good thing. ”

"If you look like you, you might as well choose me. ”

In the corner of the ball, several young people were talking and laughing together, they didn't notice that they had approached Abel, when they saw Abel, there was a burst of embarrassment, and then a young man in a white dress stood up and gave Abel an evening salute, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, we didn't notice your arrival." ”

"I don't need to apologize, I interrupted your conversation. Abel replied with a calm expression.

Before coming to Harry Castle, Abel had already thought that there would be people talking about it, but as a person who is actually 40 years old and has been a human being, he did not pay attention to these discussions.

Abel's attitude seemed to have won the favor of several young people, and they took Abel together to talk about some interesting anecdotes, such as a certain jazz has a new lover, what prey someone has hit, and so on.

The young man in the white dress was Isaac, the eldest son of Baron Victor of Harvest City, who had just shown great envy for Abel's good fortune to be adopted by a childless fiefdom knight.

Isaac's father, Baron Victor, was one of the many knights of Harvest City, and although they lived in the city, most of them were engaged in commerce, because to maintain the luxury of the nobility, a large amount of gold was necessary.

Although merchants were inferior in the eyes of the nobility, in order to make a living, they could only engage in business operations that they despised to earn gold, and the status of fiefdom lords, even fiefdom knights, was higher than that of barons who did not have fiefs.

Without a fief, there is no castle, you can only live in the city, no matter how big a house is, it can't compare to the freedom of your own castle, and the output of the fief can have a continuous income to maintain the life of yourself and your family, as well as the funds of the guard.

For Isaac's envy, Abel can also understand, as long as there is no malice, Abel can tolerate it.

took a sip of red wine gently, listened to the conversation of several people, and interjected from time to time, making people feel that he was not too indifferent, but not too enthusiastic.

At this time, a gloomy owl's gaze swept over, and Abel, who was already a fourth-level trainee knight, was caught by the malice in his eyes for a while, and he looked at it with his afterglow without a trace, still shaking his wine glass in his hand.

It was a young man, tall and handsome, with blonde hair combed in the slightest, but his eyes were not too slender and a little feminine.

Touching Isaac lightly, Abel asked softly, "Who is that?" as he spoke, sweeping his eyes intently at the young man.

"Hey, his name is Daniel, a disgusting guy. Isaac turned his head to look at the boy and replied disdainfully.

"What's going on?" Abel asked, curiously.

"He was the son of a merchant, and his sister was married to Lord Walker in Harvest City, and he also blended into the nobility circle, but he was still not satisfied. When Isaac said this, he glanced up at Abel, and then said: "He heard that the Marshall Knight had no heirs, so he begged his sister to help him become the adopted son of the Marshall Knight, but his sister had no choice but to ask Lord Walker to find the Marshall Knight, but the Marshall Knight refused in person." ”

Isaac took a sip of wine, as if talking about Daniel's rejection made him feel good: "This matter has spread in the aristocratic circles, do you know what everyone says?"

Seeing Abel's calm expression, Isaac continued boringly: "Everyone says that Daniel is not self-aware, and Lord Walker is also very faceless because of this, in fact, Lord Walker doesn't want to think about it, will the Marshall Knight accept a merchant's son as his heir? Even if he agrees, his family will not agree." ”

Speaking of these gossips, Isaac's interest increased, and he told everything he knew in one go, which also made Abel understand why Daniel hated him.

Some of them couldn't stand the boring topics of these people, and the important things in the mouths of these young people were some tidbits and gossip that were not a big deal, so they found an opportunity to greet a few people, and Abel walked to the bathroom.

The Daniel saw Able walking towards the bathroom, stood up as well, and walked towards the bathroom.

Abel didn't go into the bathroom, just stood at the window near the bathroom, let the wind outside blow his somewhat hot face, just 12 years old body drank some red wine, and felt a little wine, and only after blowing the cold wind did he feel more comfortable.

Placing the wine glass on the windowsill, Abel reminded himself that his body was still too young to drink. He knew all these things when he used to be a fitness instructor, but the atmosphere of the dance just now made him forget his age a little, and after doing a self-examination, he decided not to touch alcohol until he became an adult.

As today's master, it is very rude to leave the ball for a long time, turning around, Abel was about to return to the hall when a figure bumped into him, almost at the same time as being hit, Abel's body responded, the strong fourth-level trainee knight breath gushed out of the body, the figure that hit him after touching his body, did not shake him at all, but was bounced out by the stress of his body, the man flew three meters in the air, and when he fell to the ground, he slid two meters before stopping, and fell to the ground motionless。

Someone happened to see this scene, and it wasn't until the person was catapulted out that they knew something was wrong, and someone had already come over to check.

"It's Daniel. A knight reached out and turned the fallen man around, and made a discovery.

"Oh my God, dear Daniel, what's wrong with you?" a young woman in an aristocratic fluffy skirt hurriedly trotted over, saw Daniel on the ground, and cried out in a lost voice.

The Marshall Knight, who was the master, came to the scene, saw the situation on the ground, and asked Abel, "Abel, what's the matter?"

"I didn't know it, but he ran into me, and he flew out like that. Abel opened his hand and made an innocent gesture.

Marshall Knight looked at Daniel on the ground, he didn't have to think much about it, he knew what was going on, Abel just came today, he didn't even know a few people, and as today's master, he would definitely not teach today's guests a lesson for no reason.

And Daniel, the young man, he still remembers, because after refusing this young man's rude request, he was ridiculed by his friends, but because of Lord Walker's relationship, he did not pursue the matter.

Today, Daniel actually attacked the heir of the castle at the ball he held, which is no longer an ordinary move, because as the heir of the castle, Abel has really the identity of a nobleman, and it is a felony to attack a nobleman in this world, not to mention attacking the heir of the castle in someone else's castle, which is an act of looking for death.

Knight Marshall ignored the woman who was still crying, looked back at Lord Walker in the crowd, and said to Lord Walker in a deep voice, "Did you bring Daniel to my castle today to provoke the Harry family, or are you going to have an honor duel with me for their honor?"

Lord Walker glanced at Daniel on the ground with an ugly face, to be honest, if he knew that Daniel was so bold, he wouldn't dare to bring Daniel here, this time it was Daniel who begged to see what kind of person became the heir of Marshall Knight.
