Chapter 042: (Feast)

The long dining table for twelve is filled with flowers and candles, a table full of delicacies, and well-dressed guests seated on either side of the long table.

Baron Royce and his wife have three daughters and a six-year-old son. All three girls are very beautiful, just like their mother, the Baroness, who is tall and curvy, especially when she dresses more sexy/sensual tonight.

She wore a jujube red silk deep V-neck off-the-shoulder evening dress, with a high waistline, supporting the hostess's plump/full breasts/parts, followed by a skirt spread out like mercury, silky and rippling, lining the hostess's milky white skin more and more white like warm jade, moist like agar.

The baroness didn't have much decoration on her head, only a large dark green gemstone necklace on her chest, which echoed her eyes. How to describe it, delicate but not demonic, both like a hibiscus out of the water, and like a gorgeous rose, contradictory but just right to blend together.

The Baroness's eldest daughter, Lucy, wore a long silk dress in aqua blue, which looked drab compared to the other complicated dresses at the banquet, but a closer look reveals the subtlety of this dress. The waist is just right, lining the girl's delicate crisp/chest and soft and slender waist like spring willow.

At this moment, Lucy's face was flushed, her head was lowered, and she quietly seemed to be a different person. Edward was surprised, and was quietly surveying her.

Lucy has a beautiful body and everything is just right. She was tall and slim, but not excessively tall. Her skin is delicate, and her noble face shape and appearance reflect her superior status and habit of being respected.

Her thick hair, somewhere between brown and golden, was scattered in various moving ways, and hung long and long under the shadow of the jewels, giving Edward a glimpse of a young girl of noble birth and born free.

Edward withdrew his gaze, and poured himself a glass of red wine, the clear red wine glistening in the full glass.

Edward didn't know much about red wine at first, but he thought that pouring it in a transparent crystal glass wine glass was as red as a jewel, and it looked beautiful in an instant.

Lucy patiently taught him the origin, vintage, taste, color, aroma and ...... Gradually, the girl made Edward drunk.

Edward was not an alcoholic, but whether he was in a good mood or not, he was willing to take out the red wine, put a glass in his hand, and slowly sip it into his stomach, waiting for the little drunken feeling to come up.

The red wine on the palate, with a hint of acidity, a hint of oak barrel wood, and more, an indescribable sensation. On the outside, it looks like a ruby as beautiful and romantic, but only you can understand the taste.

Edward took a sip of wine and smiled slightly, never thinking that one day, he would get to the point of using wine to strengthen his courage. Then, he stood up and said to Baron Royce, "Lord Dain, I like your daughter, and I beg you to marry her to me. ”

Iris who was sitting next to the bearded man looked at his cousin with some surprise, he didn't expect that his cousin had already had a girl he liked, but he never revealed any information to himself.

Baron Royce's face did not show any dissatisfaction, or a look of surprise, which he did not seem to be surprised. "I have three daughters, all of whom are beautiful and have reached the age of marriage. He deliberately asked, "I wonder which of my daughters are you referring to?"

Edward said in a firm tone, "Your eldest daughter, Lucy Dane. ”

"My daughter Lucy, she's beautiful, isn't she?" said Baron Royce, looking at his shy daughter, "I think several of the knights here have a crush on her. ”

"Yes, sir. The other knights replied.

"We love each other from the bottom of our hearts. Edward proclaimed.

Baron Royce looked at his daughter with a pleasant face and asked, "Is that so?"

"Yes, father!" replied the girl in a shy whisper. The flush on the girl's face became more vivid, and it spread to the neck behind her, as if the smell of gentle and luscious flesh was emanating from it.

"Knight Edward, I have no objection to you falling in love," Baron Royce said, "but I will not let my daughter marry a knight without a fief, I am not saying anything to you, or the knights here, I am only thinking about my daughter's happiness in the future." ”

In the chaos of the continent of Calradia, kings and nobles alike need some troops who have an overwhelming advantage in warfare, so they will carefully nurture young men to become knights.

The status of a knight is often not inherited, and its essence is different from that of the nobles, in addition to being able to obtain fiefs like the nobles, the knights must also serve in the lord's army, and bring their own weapons and horses in case of war.

In the kingdom of Svadia, knights served in the lord's army and received fiefs, and needed to bring their own weapons and horses. However, not all knights were able to obtain a fief, only knights with outstanding military achievements were able to obtain a fief from a liege.

A typical lord is a country brigadier or minor nobleman, usually owning only a few miles of land, and ruling over a few hundred ordinary people under the name of the king. He collected taxes from the villagers and farmers, and was much richer than anyone else in his area, except for successful merchants.

In addition to the castle halfway up the hill, Baron Royce Dayne's domain also included a large and prosperous town at the foot of the mountain. Although his title was not as noble as that of the count, he possessed wealth and military power comparable to that of the count.

"I can understand what you mean, I will use honor to obtain fiefs on the battlefield. Edward took a deep breath and said with a calm face, "I just wish you could give me time before that." ”

"I can give you time," Baron Royce noted, "but you must give a deadline, and I can't keep my daughter waiting." ”

Edward said confidently: "It only takes one year, one year is enough." ”

Iris believes that with his cousin's skills, he can do it. But he remembered that his cousin had told him that his father would not allow any of his knights to take part in the war in the Duchy of Rhodok, which had conquered the south. So where will the cousin's honor come from?

"All the knights present testify that I will keep this agreement. Baron Royce sat down and took a sip of wine, "Then let's look forward to that day." ”

Although there were no singers and musicians to help the feast, the atmosphere was very lively. Perhaps because of Edward and Lucy, several other knights also plucked up the courage to speak freely with the other two beautiful girls.

Iris noticed that each of the girls sitting across from her was tall and looked plump. "The daughters of the little giants are stronger than you. He thought to himself, "The bearded man is right. 」

Iris picked up the knife and fork that had been laid aside, then stood up and cut a large piece of lamb on the crispy roasted lamb. The tempting aroma of mutton overflowed made him so hungry that his saliva was dripping.

His actions attracted the attention of everyone at the table. Baron Royce saw the boy's salivating look and asked, "Iris, are you hungry?"

Iris wiped the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and then answered honestly. "Yes, I do get hungry. "He had an inexplicable fear of this 'fearless little giant'. As soon as the other party opened his mouth, or looked at him, Iris would become a little nervous.

"Looks like you've been practicing hard today. Baron Royce, who was sitting upright, straightened his clothes and said solemnly, "Tell me, what did Edward teach you?"

"I didn't learn knighthood from my cousin today. Iris said quietly. "Instead, he helped out in the kitchen. ”

Baron Royce looked at the boy with some surprise, and then he asked, "What are you doing in the kitchen?"

"I'm in charge of filling the big kitchen tank with water. Iris blurted out. It's just that the kitchen always uses more water than he pours into the big tank.

"It would be nice if I had magic," Iris thought again. "As described in the ancient texts of 'Lost Civilizations', mysterious magicians can make rain fall from the sky with a short chant. 」

Baron Royce's face changed slightly when he heard this. "You went to the creek outside the castle?"

"Yes. ”

Baron Royce's face immediately sank, and his gaze shifted to the side, his sharp gaze lingering between Edward and Tormund for a moment. "Tormond, this must be your idea!" he commented.

Tormund the Growler gulped down a glass of wine and said loudly, "Yes, it was my idea. ”

"There is no shortage of servants in my castle," Baron Royce said stiffly, and his words became a little fierce, "you shouldn't let him go to the creek to fetch water, if the adults know about it......"

"Why are you worried that the adults will blame you for this?"

Baron Royce suddenly frowned, a little annoyed. "Tormond," he said in a scathing tone, "you know what I mean. ”

"Then you must also understand who this kid's guard is. ”

Iris could almost hear the bearded man growling at Baron Royce. He didn't feel like his father would be furious with his vassals doing dirty work in the kitchen of Baron Royce's castle.

He couldn't figure out why a trivial matter could cause so many people to oppose it, first his cousin, then Hart, then Baron Royce, and even his own father? Iris suddenly felt that they were playing dumb riddles again. What is it that you have to hide from yourself?
