Chapter 70: The Royal Family's Reception
Benjamin wanted to stand in front of the window for a while and think about the cattiness of the theater mage incident, but was interrupted by Jeremy, who pushed the door in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Young master, it's time for dinner, and the master asked me to ask you to go down to eat. ā
He stood in the doorway and said.
Hearing this, Benjamin turned around, nodded and said, "Got it, I'll go right away." ā
Jeremy cringed in response and left with his head bowed.
Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
Since their return to the Reeser family this time, Jeremy has become even more cringe, and he is afraid to look at Benjamin directly, and he looks ashamed all day long. He used to be like a mouse, unable to speak, but now it has become even worse, and he can make him tremble when he speaks loudly.
It seems that being deceived this time has also had a great impact on him, a servant.
But it's true that the whole thing started when Jeremy was tricked into a tavern by Scar Man, and it's normal for Jeremy to think it's his fault. But the past is gone, and Benjamin doesn't bother to be angry with him again.
What's more, he didn't gain nothing from this trip.
Anyway, he also lifted the curse, turned enemies with Michelle, and accidentally got a mysterious map, didn't he?
Speaking of maps......
Before pretending to be a beggar, he buried all his belongings near the abandoned wine cellar in the outer city, including the map, his guns, bullets, gold coins, etc.
He'll have to find a chance to dig them up.
Well...... It's better to let Jeremy run another day. He's not in a hurry, things are buried so remotely that they won't be discovered by others.
Benjamin thought as he walked out of the room and began to walk towards the living room.
As an aristocratic family, the Reeser family still had dinner together every day. Although with his personality, he prefers to take the meal to the room and eat it by himself, but after eating with other people for so many days, he is also used to it.
Soon, he came to the living room and sat down in his place.
The family surnamed Reeser was also there, Claude, Mary, Grant, and the old lady, all of whom sat down in their respective places, waiting for the meal to be served.
Maybe it's because Benjamin was kidnapped and returned, and they look at Benjamin differently than usual.
Benjamin didn't care. As long as Claude doesn't scold him and doesn't give him something he doesn't have.
After a few daily greetings and greetings, the servants began to serve the food, and dinner began. Claude and Mary chatted with each other, and Mary occasionally cared about Grant's studies and condoled with Benjamin's plight. The old lady interjected occasionally, and made a few innocent sneers about Mary.
It was still a normal dinner, so Benjamin ate absentmindedly. In his head, he continued to think about the inside story of the theater mage incident.
There's one more thing he hasn't figured out.
If Ax was forced to betray his mage, then who would have told the church the secret and forced Ax to this point?
Is it Michelle again?
It's really possible.
In fact, this can be regarded as a trick to blame the death of the purge on the theater mage. The theater mage is also related to the Silent Academy, and Michelle originally wanted the church to fight with the Silent Academy, and must be happy to do this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Benjamin felt that Michelle was really a contradictory person.
While she said that she wanted to establish a kingdom of mages, she did not show mercy when she plucked mages. Don't look at Benjamin and her now fighting side by side as good friends, once Benjamin gets in her way, I'm afraid, she won't be half soft.
Most of the mages in the royal capital, she also said that the pit was pitted, and she didn't hesitate.
This woman is really powerful.
Of course, he hadn't heard anything from Michelle since he returned to the Reeser family. So it's all just his thoughts. Maybe Michelle died last night, either by the Church or by a meteorite.
...... Well, he really likes to be cranky.
Originally, this meal should have been spent in his wild eating and blind imagination. However, what he didn't expect was that near the end of dinner, Claude suddenly looked at Benjamin and opened his mouth very seriously:
"It's not a few days before the royal family's cocktail party, and these days, you don't go out except to train in the barracks. I'll keep Jessica looking at you, so you don't get into trouble by running around. ā
Benjamin, who buried his head in the food, was stunned.
He had already tried to reduce his sense of presence, but he didn't expect to be shot.
Moreover, grounded......
Benjamin shuddered at the thought of the maid's expression as cold as iron.
He knew that if something so big happened, even if Benjamin was just a victim, Claude would never say a word about it.
Alas......
Grounded, grounded, he just stayed in the room and practiced more magic. Anyway, in this situation, he has no need to go out for the time being.
The triangular characters representing ice crushing had only recently been condensed, and Benjamin still had a lot to study about it.
So Benjamin nodded obediently and said, "Okay, father." ā
But Claude's words didn't stop.
"Also, you have to go to the reception in a week. As the eldest son of the Reese family, you have been absent from most of this quarter's drinking parties, what will the other nobles think of you? This is a drinking party held by the royal family, even if you don't want to go, you must attend it for me. ā
Even Mary chimed in: "Yes, as a nobleman in the royal capital, how can anyone not participate in the social drinking party." You're not too young, and if you can meet the daughter of a baron at a reception, it's a big wish of mine. ā
ā......ā
Benjamin was speechless.
With his current biological age, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, what does it mean that he has begun to urge marriage?
Also, the royal family's drinking party, what the hell is that?
"This is a very common way of socializing among the nobles of the kingdom. The system popped up in time and explained, "Remember? Before Ax failed to bring Dick here to find a venue, before he left, he just said something 'a drink party in a month', and this was the drinking party he was talking about. ā
Benjamin was silent for a moment, and complained in his heart: "...... It's been so long, who remembers it. ā
The system said shyly, "I just remember." ā
ā......ā
Stinky fart, you don't remember, you just recorded that sentence on the hard drive.
Benjamin didn't bother to argue with the system.
The drinking party is just a drinking party, just eating and drinking, and there will be no shortage of meat, why don't you go?
Thinking like this, he swallowed a large piece of steak with lettuce in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it vigorously. Then, turning to Claude and Mary, he nodded helplessly and spoke.
"Got it, I'll go. ā
