Chapter 319: Welcome Banquet

When the Grand Duke of Fisabrun spoke well, when he arrived at the south gate of the city of King Windbri, with the sound of another welcoming horn, the city guards who had been standing guard at the city gate and the city wall quickly assembled, and then turned around and ran away with the password, leaving only three city guards standing by the road at the city gate waiting for everyone's arrival.

"Lord Norton, you can send your family soldiers to take over the South Gate. Those three were guides, and they were asked if they needed anything, and they knew very well the defenses of the southern city gate. The Grand Duke of Fisabrun took his horsewhip and pointed at the three soldiers who were waiting at the entrance of the city.

Lorist smiled: "Thank you, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke is also too polite." ”

Pat went up with a thousand guards, and soon took over the defense of the South Gate, led by the three guides.

"By the way, at noon today I will host a banquet to welcome Prince Dock of the Duchy of Forlandor and Earl Dallek of the Duchy of Sabaji, and Earl Churchwick of the Duchy of Handla. Holding this knightly tournament can be regarded as allowing me to drain the family's coffers, and if I can save a little bit, the four of you will never let me hold a welcome banquet again......" Archduke Fisabrun invited with a grin.

"How can you bother His Highness so much, we are more than happy to make new friends. It was Count Kenmez who said this, and he glanced at Lorist before speaking, and Lorist nodded slightly.

"It's better to meet by chance, our northern land has always been remote, I have heard that the central four principalities are the most prosperous land in the pre-imperial era, and there are many talents, and it just happens to let us northern nobles see the nobles from the middle of the empire, and ask His Royal Highness the Grand Duke to introduce them on their behalf. ”

"Hehe......" Grand Duke Fisabrun glanced at Count Kenmeth very happily: "The introduction is natural, and I didn't expect that holding a knight tournament would attract the attention of the four principalities in the middle of the country, so that they came all the way to participate." That's why I'm compelled to change the banquet that welcomes you to two parties, and it's good that you don't have to be surprised. Let's go, the banquet is ready, just wait for a few big people to come. ”

The place where the Grand Duke of Fisabrun stayed was the Rose Palace, where the second prince used to be, and the place where the banquet was held was in a side hall on the left side of the main hall. When Lorist and the others arrived, there were more than a dozen people waiting in front of the side hall to welcome the arrival of Grand Duke Fisabrun.

The little prince of Dock in the Duchy of Forendor was very young, only about twenty-four years old. The aristocratic dress with gold trim was worn beside him, which made him more and more radiant, dignified, and graceful. Lorist had to admit that this little prince of Doc was much more handsome than herself, young and handsome, and although he did not ride a white horse, he was still the model of the prince charming in those girls' dreams.

The little prince Dock was followed by two, one of whom was a red-faced old man. Lorist glanced at it very carefully, the second-level great swordsman, but it seems that this cultivation is similar to that of the Xiusi great swordsman who is next to him. The other was a three-star knight in gold, and Lorist didn't pay much attention to it. As for the little prince of Dock, his fighting spirit is only at the rank of one silver star, and he seems to have a sense of pride.

"This white-faced little prince seems to want to rely on his looks and demeanor to soak Princess Celevia, if he was in the world of face-watching in his previous life, he could really succeed, but unfortunately, the first prerequisite for the man that Celevia's girl is looking for is to be able to defeat her, this poor boy should be out of play......" Lorist muttered in his heart while showing a hypocritical smile that he had admired for a long time, and was very friendly and polite to pay tribute to these waiting nobles.

The Earl of Dalek of the Principality of Sabaji was a tall man, estimated to be in his thirties, with two stars of gold and no smile. Although he was serious when he saluted Lorist and the others, Lorist was sensitive to the look of disdain in the eyes of the Earl of Dalek when the Grand Duke of Fisabrun introduced himself as the four of them from the Northlands.

The Earl of Churchwick in the Duchy of Handra is more of a younger version of Earl Kenmeth, but he is better than Earl Kenmeth in that he is a Golden One-Star Knight. He was eloquent and of good manners, and the Grand Duke of Fisabrun treated him even more affectionately than the little prince of Dok. When introduced to Lorlist, the Earl of Churchwick asked in some surprise: "Lord Earl, may I ask if the island of Shilois is also the territory of the Norton family?"

Lorist smiled and nodded, then turned to the next man as the Grand Duke of Fisabrun introduced him, though he noticed that Earl Churchwick's gaze lingered on him for a long, long time.

In addition to these nobles from the four central principalities, there were also three nobles from the Iberian kingdom who accompanied them. Lorist only felt familiar, but the Earl of Kenmax was very familiar with them, and even hugged each other. After introducing Lorlist, he found out that these three nobles had dealt with him, and the last time he captured the royal city of Windbry, these three nobles had negotiated with him on behalf of the queen, so it was no wonder that they felt familiar.

The last two introduced by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun were two golden knights of the Fisabrun family, one with a three-star gold named Brudeau, and the other with a two-star gold named Loshov. These two seem to be the right-hand men of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun. However, Viscount Christopher, whom Lorist wanted to see, was not here, and Archduke Fisabrun said that he was currently in charge of Gimcheon Province.

After entering the side hall, Lorist found that the banquet held by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun this time was a separate table system, a total of more than 20 small long tables were divided into two columns, this kind of small long table is somewhat like the case table in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Lorist had seen on TV in his previous life, the difference is that the sides of the long table are not rolled up, but square, and covered with snow-white hemp tablecloths. Instead of sitting on the floor, there is a small round stool behind a long table.

The Grand Duke of Fisabrun was the first to do the center, and Lorist immediately chose the position on the left, followed by the Earl of Kenmeth, Baron Philim, Baron Saheen, and the Grand Swordsman of Hus, Jost. El, on the other hand, took his seat and went outside to join the five hundred family guards who had come with him, and they had their own Grand Duke to provide them with hot soup and wine and meat.

Behind Lorist stood Schward, and he noticed that behind the little prince Dock was two beautiful maids serving. Instead, he thought it was very much like the Earl of Churchwick of Earl Kenmax, who did not bring an attendant or a maid. He sat alone, and when he saw Lorist looking at him, he also smiled and nodded.

Soon after taking a seat, a large group of maids and servants served wine and food to everyone, and a few bare-chested sturdy servants carried a large shelf, on which was a half-roasted calf, which was freshly roasted and eaten, and if you wanted to eat, you would say hello, and your own servant would cut the roasted beef for you and send it to you. Then a group of maids with various musical instruments came up, sat in the corner of the side hall and began to play a very light and lively music......

Grand Duke Fisabrun raised the golden cup: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the royal city of Windbri, this first glass of wine is my toast to you, it is the honor and pride of the Fisabrun family to come all the way to participate in this knightly jousting conference, I would like to express my gratitude...... Do it first for respect, grunt ......"

Grand Duke Fisabrun drank the wine in the golden cup in a few sips: "Everyone, please feel free. ”

The nobles present stood up violently: "Grand Duke Xie......" "Grand Duke is polite." "Don't dare to be it, the Grand Duke has won the award. "To the Grand Duke......"

Lorist also got up and saluted back, and after finishing his kind words, he drank the wine in the silver cup and just sat down when he heard the little prince Dock on the opposite side ask: "Your Royal Highness, Princess Jiumucilivia is the first beauty in the Iberian Kingdom, I don't know if I can ask for a meeting, I have been fond of the princess for ......a long time."

Paralyzed, this kid has made it clear that he is coming at Princess Celevia!

"Hehe......" Grand Duke Fidabulun laughed: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't be anxious, something happened at home a few days ago, and the girl Celivia hurried back to deal with it, and she will be back in about three or four days, and then I will introduce the little girl to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." It's just that my little girl has always been pampered by me, and her temper is not very good, I hope His Royal Highness the Prince can bear with me. ”

The little prince sat down with a look of disappointment on his face.

Only then did Lorist understand that it was no wonder that he didn't see Princess Celivia when he arrived in King Windbrie, and he didn't even see her at the banquet, it turned out that he had an accident at home.

Count Kenmeth stood up: "Your Royal Highness, I heard that this time you held a knight tournament to find a good family for Princess Celevia, is there such a thing?"

Grand Duke Fisabrun sighed softly: "Yes, time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, Celivia has become a big girl." Think about how young she was at the beginning, so delicate in her arms, but now she has become a heroic golden female knight. She is twenty-five this year, and I can't let her delay it any longer, and this knightly tournament is held for her family's sake. Who called this girl extremely high-minded, so many suitors can't look down on her, as her grandfather, I can only take this method, I hope to find a good husband for her at this conference......"

"Your Royal Highness, Princess Celivia is the most beautiful flower in our Iberian Kingdom, and it is also the most precious and dazzling jewel, and her marriage should naturally be chosen carefully. It's just that when Her Royal Highness chooses a husband for Princess Celivia, she also has to see if Her Royal Highness is satisfied, after all, Her Royal Highness is twenty-five years old and has her own prejudices. If Her Royal Highness the Grand Duke's favored relatives, Her Royal Highness, the princess, are not happy, and even if you forcibly become a princess, she will not be happy......," said Earl Kenmeth.

Archduke Fisabrun nodded, but his eyes were on Lorist: "You're right, Count. I promised this little girl that she would make her own decisions about her family, and I just wanted to see if the other party was sincere in marrying our Fisabrun family. ”

"Hehe, Grand Swordsman of Fisabrun, I don't agree with that. It was the second-level great swordsman who was sitting next to the little prince of Doc who spoke: "We are nobles, and the marriage of the children of nobles has always been decided by the family, and only the commoners do what the earl said just now, and they can make do with their own eyes and live together." Born as a nobleman and enjoy the glory and wealth of the family, then their marriage is not their own business when they grow up, they must take into account the family, be prepared to sacrifice for the interests of the family, and personal happiness does not need to care. ”

"Well, the Great Sword Master of Limad is very reasonable. Grand Duke Fisabrun touched his beard and nodded.

Count Kenmeth spoke again: "Your Royal Highness, if Princess Celivia herself likes it, and can take into account the interests of the Fisabrun family, so that the Fisabrun family can have one more strong reinforcement, then such a family affair can be regarded as perfect, and Her Royal Highness the princess will also feel happy." ”

"Hahaha, the Earl is so right. In this way, the best object of Princess Celevia's family business is our little prince. Your Royal Highness, you see that our little prince is talented, handsome and brave. Last year, before the alliance of the four principalities sent troops to the royal city of Federiga in the kingdom of Redlis, His Royal Highness the prince personally led the troops into battle, and finally conquered the fortified city and eliminated the remnants of the second highness Ogcelo, and our little prince made a lot of meritorious achievements.

If His Royal Highness the Grand Duke is willing to marry our Furendo Kingdom, then the four principalities in our central part have always been one, and the Fisaburun family is equivalent to four more strong reinforcements, and this family affair can be said to be the best arrangement for the Silver Moon Goddess. As for Princess Celevia, I'm sure she'll love the little prince when she meets us. Although our little prince is not as talented as Her Royal Highness the princess, our little prince is very talented and well-known in our principality. I believe that the more I have met Princess Celivia, I will definitely appreciate and admire the talent of our little prince......"

Well, no one expected that the Greatswordsman Limad, who was a second-level great swordsman, would say such flattering words in public without blushing at all, and even the Grand Duke of Fisabrun was a little dumbfounded. And the little prince of Dork, who was praised, looked natural and triumphant, with his head held high, his eyes tilted upwards at forty-five degrees, and he did not know what was worthy of his attention and study on the zenith of the side hall.

Lorist laughed dumbly. This is just a spoiled boy, accustomed to flattery, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is.

Sure enough, there was a heavy snort from the side of the little prince of Dock: "The little prince is still on the front line?

It was Count Dalek of the Principality of Sabaji who said this, although the Four Duchyes were allies, but as the Earl of the Duchy of Sabaji, he didn't need to give any face to the little prince of the Duchy of Forendo. If the great swordsman of Limad was simply touting the little prince of Doc, he was too lazy to say anything. But the great swordsman of Limad was overblown, especially when he brought out the battle to capture the royal city of Federiga, and he was not happy.

"Hehe, Brother Dalek, you have won the three armies in front, and the exploits of the first to attack the royal city of Federiga will naturally not be forgotten. However, your Duchy of Sabaji is mainly attacking the northern city, and our Duchy of Forrendo was at the southern gate at that time, so it's normal for you to not see us...... "This is the golden three-star knight who came with the little prince of Dork to stand up and make amends.

However, Count Dalek of the Duchy of Sabaji looked at him very strangely: "Nancheng, isn't that the territory of the army of the Commercial Alliance? What are you doing there? No wonder we have cleared the resistance of the entire royal city, opened the southern gate and let the army of the Commercial Alliance come in, only to see the troops of your Duchy of Forlandor ......",

"Poof" Baron Philim and Baron Saheen couldn't help but squirt out the wine in their mouths.

The golden three-star knight, who was blushing at Earl Dalek's words, was worried that he couldn't get off the stage, and when he saw this, he hurriedly shifted the object of his anger. His eyes widened, he glared at Baron Philim and Baron Saheen, and exclaimed, "What are you laughing at!"

"Hmm?" Baron Philim's eyes flashed with a cold light, he was not afraid of any Duchy of Volendo, but was about to speak but was preempted by Baron Saheen beside him: "Ouch, it turns out that we came to participate in the knight jousting conference held by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, whether we laugh or not, we still need to ask for the consent of your Duchy of Forendo......"

As soon as these yin and yang strange words came out, the golden three-star knight suddenly came to his senses, this was a banquet held by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun to welcome them, not in the Duchy of Forrendo, this was not a place for them to go wild. peeked at it, but saw that the face of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun sitting at the top was as heavy as water, and then at the two golden knights of the Fisabrun family at the bottom, they also had angry faces and stared at him......

Fortunately, at this time, the great swordsman of Limad stood up and relieved him: "If you drink too much, be honest, even if the wine given to us by His Royal Highness the Grand Duke is really delicious, don't drink so many gaffes, it's really embarrassing." As a Golden Knight, you should go to the tournament to practice anything, not to use your words here. Archduke, I'm very sorry ......."

Grand Duke Fisabrun waved his hand: "Forget it, it's okay." However, I heard that you captured the royal city of Fedeliga last year and wiped out the remnants of the Second Highness's army, can you tell us more about this battle?"

"More than please, Your Highness. The Great Sword Master of Limad said.
