Chapter 155: A Congratulatory Gift from the Heart
readx;
The congratulatory gift sent by Lutz just now shocked everyone, but because he did so, other people who didn't prepare the congratulatory gift with much care were relieved, and even the most ordinary jewelry would not be blamed. The first person to walk up to Luthers www.biquge.info give the gift was Susanna, who kissed and hugged the bride with Leonie. From Fed's point of view, Leonie doesn't seem to be the daughter of Luthers' butler, but like Susanna, she is Luthers' sister.
Vittorio also took out the congratulatory gifts prepared by the potato mercenary group - a pair of silver bracelets in a golden box, one larger and the other smaller, which Vittorio selected from the shops under his name, called "Concentric Bracelets", which means that the newlyweds can work together with one mind.
"These are the three castles of the Kingdom of Cosse, all of them have been given to Lord Luthers, and they can be regarded as Margarets' dowry!" The Marquis of Ampvo, who is also Margaret's uncle, personally handed over a topographical map of the neighboring Duchy of Noo, on which three castles were marked as gifts, "As long as Lord Luthes sends someone to receive them, from tomorrow onwards, these castles will be included in the names of Lord Luthers and Lady Margaret!
The rest of the guests in the back line were taken aback, for the castle as a gift was much more valuable than the gold, silver and jewels, and not counting the villages under the jurisdiction of the three castles. Lord Luthers immediately stood up and gave a brief hug to the Marquis of Ampvo, as did Margaret.
The envoys of the Kingdom of Salins also sent many valuable treasures, and the envoys of other countries piled up all kinds of gold, silver and jewels in front of Lord Luthers, and Van Decker had to immediately let his subordinates carry these treasures away. Toya, the leader of the Blue Flame Mercenary Regiment, sent a wooden sword, and he said under the disdainful gaze of the others: "If Lord Luthers gives birth to a child in the future, I, Toya, am willing to teach him swordsmanship, and swear by this wooden sword." ”
Saying this, those who showed disdain realized that this congratulatory gift was much more valuable than those jewels, and it was not a well-known swordsman in the mainland. Orlando, the leader of the American Young Mercenary Regiment, brought a pure and immaculate pearl, which he said was a treasure of the mercenary union and was worth a fortune.
When it was Fett's turn, Vittorio followed him, while Maeve stood beside him, holding the congratulatory gift Dockery had brought. Captain Dockery stepped forward to give the gift, which was a pair of steel armor gloves, and Dockery said that although he knew that Lord Luthers was not a brave and ruthless person, he couldn't think of anything elegant as a rough man. Margaret and Luthers, of course, did not blame him, but praised Captain Dockery as a straightforward man.
"This is a pair of silver bracelets, although there are no patterns on them, but they are also rare treasures, please two laugh. Vittorio delivers the box in Fed's place, and Feder and Margaret look at each other - Margaret of course remembers the mercenary named Fed, because it was Fed's and a mercenary doctor who rescued her that night in the City of Honor, and Margaret already remembered Fett's face at that time.
"Thank you, Captain Field. Margaret only stood up in front of a few special guests, including the current Field, "This is a very beautiful gift, and I wish Captain Fielder a smooth journey." Magalet stretched out a right hand, which Fielder had never seen before, each finger was long and thin, the skin was delicate and white, and there was a faint fragrance coming from the other's body.
"No thanks. ”
Luthers also had a few kind words to Fielder, and he hoped that Captain Fielder would stay in Evon City for a while, so that he would have the opportunity to talk with Captain Field, as well as Captain Dockley, about his experience and methods of dealing with the rebels. Lutz, who was sitting not far away, heard this, too, but he didn't seem to care about his brother's threat. Levier, who was standing behind Lutz, also looked at Vittorio, and no one said anything, and the two close friends who once fought side by side were now only strangers.
After Maeve and Fylde returned to their seats, Maev whispered to Fett, "I can see that Miss Margaret does not really want to marry Lord Luthers. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"In addition to our woman's intuition, there is also the reluctance in the depths of her eyes, maybe she is just forced to do so, after all, she also borrowed the power of the Duchy of Neo in order to save her brother Jack. ”
Fearly didn't see Margaret's reluctance, but he was sure that there was a little sadness behind Margaret's smile, perhaps it was involuntary sadness. Fett had seen the same sadness in Korth's eyes—they were all people who had to obey their family's arrangements, and their fate was predestined for them from the moment they were born.
The other guests sent gifts one after another, and no one gave embarrassing congratulatory gifts like Lutz, but it was a blessing that the leader of the rebels did not bring blood, not to mention that Luthes's younger brother, the leader of the rebels, Lutz, did not say much or do much, but just sat quietly in his seat, occasionally chatting with Miss Suzanne, who was very concerned about his situation. On the contrary, Leonie and Lutz had a good conversation, and it seemed that Luthers and Lutz took good care of their subordinates, otherwise how could a daughter with the status of the butler Van Deke sit in such a distinguished position.
After all the guests in the banquet hall had finished their congratulatory gifts, Van Dyck waved his hand, and the dishes for the dinner were quickly served by the subordinates. Pots of fragrant barbecue are served first, followed by seafood, broths, desserts, fruits, and more. Most of the guests began to focus on the food, as did Fielder and Dockery. Fidel simply took some of the food and left the rest for Mave and Vittorio, allowing them to sit down and eat the food for three people.
As everyone looked down to taste the food, Van Deke walked up to the Duke of Oldington and whispered a few words, and the Duke of Oldington put down his glass and clapped his palms gently.
All the guests heard the applause, "Ladies and gentlemen, since today is the wedding day of the Principality of Noao and the Kingdom of Kosai, we should also let a very important guest personally witness the friendship and peace between the two countries, and I believe that this guest is also very much looking forward to today, because today is also the day when he is reborn and understands the Republic of Marvil and other countries." ”
As soon as the Duke had said this, all the guests guessed who he was talking about—a prisoner, Jack, Prince of Winterland.
Aldington looked at the door of the inner banquet hall, and the rest of the guests also looked over there, where a man in green full-body armor was standing outside the banquet hall door.
The green steel helmet covered Jack's hair, revealing only his eyes. But even so, all the guests who saw Jack's eyes sensed the anger that Jack had brought into the banquet hall, and his clenched fists terrified even some of the female nobles.
"Prince Jack, today is the wedding day of your sister Margaret, and the day the agreement was made to release you in the City of Honor, so this Duke hopes that Prince Jack will put aside his prejudices and shake hands with the guests of the Republic of Marveil, so that the past is over. ”
Jack, under the "protection" of two strong soldiers, slowly walked in front of Barnes and Barry of the Marvil Republic Mission. "Prince Jack, our country has signed a peace agreement with your country, and there is no need to mention the past, I am afraid that it is in the best interests of both of us. Barry, the second elder, said as he offered to hold out a hand.
Jack hesitated for a moment before shaking his hand, but he didn't say a word, not even a glance.
Barnes also casually echoed Barry, the consul did not stretch out his hand, he just said that the Republic of Marvier is invincible, that the country founded on a republican system is the embodiment of justice, and any demon who wants to invade the republic will be punished with the most severe counterattack and punishment.
Fyde inadvertently looked at Margaret sitting in the distance, the princess who was like ice and snow secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, perhaps moved to tears because she was finally able to save her brother.
Jack walked up to Luthes and Margaret, who didn't give him any congratulatory gifts, but Fed believed that Margaret's smile showed that she was the best gift to see her brother safe. Jack didn't say much, he was placed in the middle of the banquet hall, neither far nor close to Margaret, and behind him stood several Duchy soldiers, alert for possible dangerous moves.
The dinner continued to the sound of music and eating, and three bards were invited to the Duke of Aldington to compose music for the couple and the wedding, including the Esko calendar. Escor was the last to appear, claiming to be a bard from the Sunrise Plateau, a handsome man who reinterpreted the poems sung by Feyde and Maeve on that occasion, to the praise of both the Duke and the newcomers. Escor was rewarded for this, and he grimaced at Fede before leaving the banquet hall.
Halfway through the feast, some of the guests began to dance in the hall at the invitation of the Duke of Aldington. Accompanied by beautiful music, the graceful body dances in front of the guests. Whether it was the Duke himself or some of the lower nobles, they enjoyed themselves in the banquet hall. Maev is also invited by a nobleman of the Duchy of Noò, but she still wants to dance with Fed, who knows nothing about this kind of ballroom dancing.
"Head Fidel, I noticed two things. ”
"You say. ”
Vittorio leaned into Fett's ear, "The first thing is that Green Ghost Jack, he seems to be in a very nervous state, and it looks like he might do something we didn't expect, and the second thing is that I noticed that the Pillar Priest just appeared in the Outer Banquet Hall. ”
