Marquis Roosevelt's Mansion is located in the northwest corner of the garden district, next to an artificial lake called Xiuli Lake, the environment is very beautiful, the area is also very large, is one of the few villas in Port Set with a private garden.

This villa did not belong to the Roosevelt family at first, but to another aristocratic family, but because of some debt problems, it was mortgaged to the Roosevelt family, and the Roosevelt family did not renovate the villa, only used it as a vacation place.

However, as the Roosevelt family began to move the whole family to the Kingdom of America, the villa in the largest port of the English Kingdom gradually became the residence of the Roosevelt family, and the Roosevelt family would hold a banquet here almost every once in a while, so as to always maintain a good relationship with the noble circle of the English Kingdom.

Although the status of merchants in Port Set was much higher than in the rest of the Kingdom of England for various reasons, it was still far from being comparable to that of the nobility in terms of overall status. Most of the hosts' houses had two doors open for ordinary banquets, one for the nobles and the other for merchants and ordinary dignitaries, as was the banquet at the Marquis Roosevelt's house.

Although the banquet was held in the evening, most of the guests actually came in the evening, and the merchants and dignitaries came earlier, so the entrance to the mansion specially prepared for merchants and dignitaries was cleared early.

"The banquet is about to start, and no one should come, so how about we close the door and have a drink or two?" suggested the steward who was in charge of receiving the guests to his colleague beside him.

"Not yet, there is still a guest who has not arrived. The colleague looked down at the list in his hand, shook his head, and said.

"Still have any guests arrived?" the steward stretched out his hand to take the list and looked at it, and with a look of doubt on his face, he muttered to himself, "Leo Dodd, is there a big merchant with that name in Port Set?"

"There is one. Another person responded: "A nouveau riche who came out of nowhere recently bought a lot of property in the city and invested a lot of things. ”

"What a nuisance!" said the steward, pouting with a hint of jealousy.

"A nasty fellow indeed. The others said jealously.

"Wait a minute, the guy is here, let's play a trick on him!" someone suggested.

Although these people are all servants, as servants of the Roosevelt family, they always think that they are superior, especially in front of those merchants, they feel that their status should be higher, but at the same time they also envy the rich pockets of merchants, this distorted psychology makes them always like to make things difficult for some small businessmen and nouveau riche who have no background.

Hearing this proposal, everyone felt that even if such a nouveau riche with no background was troubled by them, there would be no trouble, and they nodded in agreement.

It's just that among the group of servants, there is one person who seems to be very exceptional, and has no intention of mixing in, but looks at this group of colleagues with a mocking face.

"Frank, do you seem to have a different opinion?" asked the attentive man, who quickly noticed the unusual reaction of his colleague.

"I don't have any opinions, I just don't like to get involved in this, everything you do has nothing to do with me. The man said with a look of distraction.

Although among the many servants, Frank is a very unlikable guy, but the servants present also have to admit that Frank is very pleasing to the lord of the mansion, and if one of the servants present is selected to be promoted to senior steward in the future, then Frank is definitely the first choice, so Frank can also get some news that no one can get.

Now that Frank suddenly made such a different move, there must be something deep in it, and all the servants around him guessed that Frank must know something.

So, everyone gathered around and said some kind things to Frank, hoping to find out what news from Frank.

However, Frank seemed to enjoy the feeling of being complimented, but he never relented, and only when the others expressed impatience did he offer a condition: "Tell you that you are okay, but when that Leo Dodd comes, I will entertain him, and you don't take it." ”

Hearing Frank's words, everyone understood that Leo Dodd, who they had underestimated just now, was probably a hidden predator, not the upstart they thought.

It's just that they are more concerned about Leo Dodd's affairs than about Leo Dodd's affairs, because the most troublesome thing for servants like them to receive guests is to offend some people who shouldn't be offended, and there are countless servants who have been driven away for this reason in the past, and they are not willing to leave such a comfortable environment, so they are also particularly concerned about the news related to people's identity.

After everyone agreed to the request, Frank also spoke: "Actually, I don't know the identity of that person......

"Frank, you kid is not worth a beating!" Everyone was very angry when they heard Frank's words, and several of them even took off their coats, and it seemed that they were going to drag Frank to the woods on the side and beat him up.

Frank hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Wait, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet, although I don't know what the identity of that Leo Dodd is, but I know two things, one is that the apartment where Leo Dodd lives now used to be the royal family, and the second thing is ......" Saying that, he couldn't help but get stuck again, deliberately stuck, and asked: "Do you remember the former butler of the Duke of Buckingham's family?"

Although everyone didn't like Frank's nonsense, they were still attracted by Frank's words, and one of them with a good memory quickly gave an answer, saying, "Are you talking about Steward Sanjes?"

"Yes, yes, that's him. Frank nodded repeatedly, and then continued: "The second thing has to do with him, and now this Sanjis butler has been hired by this Leo Dodd. ”

At first, when everyone heard this, they didn't understand what it meant, what could Sanjes do if he became Leo Dodd's butler, could it be compared to Leo Dodd's current residence was once a royal property?

But soon some of the people who understood realized how special the second thing Frank was talking about, and their faces showed a sudden look, while others who didn't understand also asked, and when they got the answers, they all looked pensive.

Because they know very well that the butlers of those great nobles are absolutely for life, and there is no such thing as resignation halfway, and resignation in the middle is often a very serious mistake made by the butler, and resignation according to common sense means death. However, the fact that Steward Sanjes was able to live intact after his resignation and was not erased by the Duke of Buckingham by some means has aroused the suspicion of many people in the past.

Although there have been various theories, none of which is the right answer, but there is one thing that everyone agrees on, that is, this steward of Sanjes must have offended the Duke of Buckingham, and he was seriously offended.

Therefore, in order to avoid being implicated, even if many nobles or big businessmen want to get an experienced butler, none of them are willing to hire a steward of Sanjes.

But now that this Leo Dodd has hired Sanjes' butler, and it seems that the situation has not suffered any accidents, and even their host has sent an invitation to invite this person to the banquet, then anyone with a little bit of brains can deduce that this Leo Dodd's identity is not ordinary.

Thinking of this, the servants were frightened by their decision to play tricks on Leo Dodd, because if Leo Dodd's identity was not as they had suspected, then their decision would 100% make them the fools they had laughed at.

Just when everyone was apprehensive, a luxurious carriage drawn by four scales and armor came quickly from a distance, and when it reached the gate of the mansion, the coachman stopped the carriage very skillfully, and then a servant sitting next to the coachman quickly jumped out of the carriage, pulled the door open, lowered the stairs, and stood quietly aside.

The people inside the gate were all very experienced reception servants, and it was not difficult to see from their eyes that both the carriage and the coachman were very sophisticated, and only those great nobles would have such equipment.

Seeing this scene, everyone glanced at each other, and the name of the person just mentioned came to their minds.

Then they saw a tall, well-dressed young man step out of the carriage.

Although everyone only saw this young man for the first time, and they didn't even know the identity of this young man, when this young man's eyes swept over them, they all invariably felt a kind of pressure, a kind of pressure that can only be seen when they see very noble people, and it is also this pressure that makes them involuntarily bow their heads in submission.

At this moment, everyone had no doubts about the identity of this Leo Dodd, they had already decided from the bottom of their hearts that the person in front of them was a hidden big man, thinking that the apartment where the other party now lived was a royal property before, and they couldn't help but guess that the person in front of them was probably a member of the English royal family.

After the young man got out of the car, the servant immediately stepped forward to follow him, and took the invitation from the young man, and took the first step to hand it over to Frank, who took the initiative to stand up and take charge of the reception.

At this time, Frank's face did not have the arrogant expression just now, instead of a deferential look, he lowered his head, walked to Leo's side, and introduced him very enthusiastically: "I am Frank, my lord, your reception servant in the mansion, my lord, please come with me, the dinner is held in the main hall, after the dinner, there is a ball, and you adults also like to play cards and chess......"

Leo looked at the servant, who was showing some enthusiasm, raised his hand to interrupt the other man's words, and asked in a deep voice, "Has Sir Fredia Loren arrived?"

"Sir Fidia Rolland?" Frank was stunned, subconsciously wanting to answer, but his self-control still controlled his urge to speak, and changed his words: "I'm very sorry, I can't disclose other possible information, you can look for it at the banquet, maybe you can find Sir Roland." ”

"You're good. Leo saw that the servant in front of him was able to endure the suppression of his own life level and still forbid his own integrity, which showed that this servant's will was extraordinary, which also gave Leo a new understanding of the strength of the Roosevelt family.

Instead of forcing the servant to answer, Leo took out the prepared bait from his pocket, enclosed a few golden shields and handed it to Frank, saying, "Give this letter to Sir Fidia Loren later." ”

Frank's breath was also a little shorter when he saw the large amount of gold shields, but he still resisted the urge to say yes, but calmly thought about the relevant rules in his mind, and after confirming that the act of sending the letter would not cause a bad impression on him, he took the letter, and said that he would definitely hand the letter to Sir Fidia Loren.

Then, Frank led Leo into the mansion in front, and introduced some landscapes of the gardens in the Oujue Mansion from time to time on the way, and soon the two came to the main hall.

"If you need anything, summon me directly, and I'll be waiting outside the door for your orders!" Frank ordered Leo to the reception attendant in the main hall, then saluted Leo and pointed to a servant waiting area at the door.

"Hmm!" Leo nodded, and entered the hall under the guidance of the reception attendant.

In order to have a suitable place to hold the banquet, Marquis Roosevelt converted the leisure building located in the garden into a banquet hall, I don't know if it was because of hobby, or for other reasons, the top decoration of this hall is all made of the imprint badges used by the various churches of Veron to represent the gods, and even the ground has some very famous badges of evil gods. It is these badges that make the entire banquet hall look mysterious and strange, and many people think that if such a hall is placed on other continents of the Velen world, it will definitely be regarded as blasphemy, and I am afraid that it will have been leveled by the people of the church long ago.

At this moment, there are long tables neatly placed in this banquet hall, and both sides of the table are also full of people, because the banquet has not officially begun, and the people sitting there have not shown too restraint, and they have talked and discussed with the people they know next to them.

Led by his attendants, Leo came to a long table near the right side of the hall near a stag statue, and sat down next to the stag statue.

Seeing this stag statue, Leo was slightly stunned, because he found that this stag statue seemed to be the white deer of the Black Forest.

Although the deer in the world of Velun are almost the same, the white deer in the Black Forest has a pair of very peculiar antlers on its head, and the stag statue in front of him has such a pair of antlers, it is obvious that the person who carved this statue must have seen the white deer in the Black Forest.
