The majestic knight, Leon Ann Hart, and the black-clad duke, Van der Almac, made their appearance.
The Knights were fully armed, and their armor was depicted with the lion pattern of the Knights of the Guards on a white background, and he solemnly followed behind the Duke.
Fan looked different from the past, and today he completely shrouded himself in black.
The two of them came one after the other, obviously Fan's status was relatively high, but the Leon who made people feel that the instrument was lofty was the ontology, and the first Fan was just incidental.
"It's late and late, but you dare to start the banquet without waiting for me to arrive, you guys are so bold!"
Saying that, Fan took his knight all the way straight to the stage, and the people who stood in the way subconsciously moved to the left and right.
"Yo, Ellie, it's been a long time, but I always feel like you've suddenly become pretty, is it because of your hair that is coiled? Because the crowd moved out of the way, it was easy for Fan to see Alicia in front of him.
"Fan ......" The girl looked at the childhood sweetheart who was approaching step by step, and felt relieved, but she was sad, but she didn't know what to say.
"Duke Almac, you are so rude. Ed Gilheim stood in front of his nominal fiancΓ©e, blocking their view.
"Please do not disturb my engagement ceremony, or I will see it as a provocation by your country against my country and I will have to do something regrettable. β
The presence of an eyesore made Fan pull down his face.
"Almac, you are mistaken, I am not Almac, I am the only Duke of Darkness in heaven and on earth, BLACK Almac is also. β
β......β
Not only Gilheim, but also the nobles of their own country and Leon, who followed behind him, had nothing to say.
I always feel a sense of shame rushing up, obviously everyone is a duke, why is the gap between the two sides so big?
Although it looks menacing, yes, this is still the stupid duke everyone is familiar with.
Thunder fell into the hall, and Fan put on a lofty smile: "What about provocation, what is the regrettable behavior? Do you want to fight me? That's funny." β
"Please speak carefully, Duke of Almac. Ed said with a calm face: "Your words and deeds represent your country, do you really understand the meaning of what you say......?" he looked at the nobles in the hall, "Are you willing to let your duke mess around?"
"I know exactly what I'm talking about, isn't it war?" Fan put on a fearless smile and overwhelmed Ed's voice loudly: "I ask you, do you like war? I like war, I like war, I like war very much!"
He raised his hands high and said with an exaggerated expression:
"I love to break through the unsuspecting little villages, hold down the men, and then force the women and slaughter the children in front of them, it's so funny to watch the men twist in pain, I like to take the defeated soldiers, drive them like a flock of sheep, stab them with spears from the outside, let the blood flow, make the pigs scramble inward, it's so funny to see the innermost guys squeezed into meatloaf. β
"It's nice to fence off the entrance and exit of the castle and set fire to it outside, I like to have a barbecue with oily people, it's good to string up incompetent losers, and it's perfect to hang a row of human wind chimes on the city walls as decorations. β
"Your Excellency, Lord Duke, you are saying too much. Even Leon behind Fan couldn't listen to it anymore. The upright knight frowned and spoke admonishment.
The cowards subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and some of the noble ladies were directly frightened by this stimulating remark and screamed.
"Leon, you're such a good person, isn't that what the so-called war is all about?"
Without looking back, he shook his hand at Leon behind him, and then he stared at Ed Gilheim and said casually, as if talking about what to do tomorrow: "Do you want to fight me? β
At that moment, Fan's momentum directly overwhelmed the knights around him, and the overwhelming evil declaration made people tremble.
Duke Guilheim felt that his throat was a little dry, and he had to focus all his attention on Van.
"What~~~~Ah~~~~~~~" Just when everyone was secretly frightened, the overwhelming momentum suddenly disappeared, and Fan returned to his innocent and scheming expression.
It's just a little joke, I don't want to fight, I'm tired and bored, and most importantly, I can't play at all. β
Then, he took a chicken leg from a plate in the hand of one of the stunned guests beside him, and nibbled on it without any image.
"Please continue, leave me alone, I'm here to eat and drink. He waved his hand at Ed, who was a little stunned, as if he were waving off a subordinate, and then gnawed on the chicken leg to himself.
Ed Gilheim stared deeply at Van, and after a long time, he withdrew his gaze and turned to the girl beside him.
For him, it was clear that obtaining Pol's bloodline was more important than anything else.
"Miss Alicia, there has been a little accident, please allow me to put on this ring for you. β
At the same time, a chicken bone flew towards the ring.
Ed stopped lifting the ring, letting the greasy flying prop pass through it, so that the thing didn't touch the ring in his hand.
"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped. Fan stuck out his tongue and said with a smile.
"Please respect yourself, Duke Almac. β
"Are you teaching me a lesson? I don't think you have anything to teach me, the kiss-loving beast who killed your own uncle, because my father is dead, and I can't kill him again." β
Duke Ed's face finally changed, no one can be sure of the truth of this kind of thing, it is one thing to circulate it secretly, but to put this kind of thing on the table, it is a naked slap in the face, which is something he absolutely cannot accept.
Duke Guilheim's face was gloomy: "Duke Almac, are you trying to test my bottom line by repeatedly provoking me like this? As a weak country, do you seriously want to go to war with my country?"
"Don't get excited, it's just a joke, you won't be so ungraceful, it's ugly. β
"Hmph...... obviously didn't want to make a fuss, Ed once again launched the action of wearing the ring, he decided to end this damn ritual early, as long as he obtained the blood of Pol, everything can be ignored, and when his position in the country is solidified, he can clean up Almak as much as he wants.
A plate flew along with the soup and water inside, this time not at the ring, but at Ed's head.
Ed's fierce side, good martial arts training allowed him to successfully dodge the plate, but those soup and water and other things were not so easy to dodge, and the gorgeous dress on his body was stained with oil, becoming as ridiculous as a clown suit.
"I'm sorry, my hand slipped again. Fan said with a grin.
"Again and again you have provoked me, and I understand, Duke of Almac, that I have received your hostility. β
"Don't say that, I really just slipped my hand, you see, this time I'm ...... again"
Van came to a long row of tables on which various foods and wines were arranged.
He pulled off the white tablecloth spread on it, threw the cups, plates and bowls on the table to the ground, and then put his hands on the edge of the table, as if he wanted to lift the table, but due to lack of strength, although he tried his best, the table only moved slightly, and did not leave the floor.
However, the next moment, the head of the Knights of the Guards came to Van's side, and he took Van's action and lifted the table with ease.
Then, he threw the long table that had been raised above his head forward.
With a loud bang, the table fell to the ground, and this time, the atmosphere belonging to the engagement ceremony completely disappeared.
Although it didn't hit anyone, it was enough to show the knight's position.
"It's rude, and my hand slips underneath. Leon said lightly.
"Leon Ann Hart, the new head of the Knights of the Guards, do you want to mess around with the Duke of your country?" said Gilheim with a blank face.
But the warning didn't help, and the situation took a sharp turn and another man stepped forward.
"Hehehe, although my old man is dizzy, I can still tell which side I should stand on at this time. β
"I'm older, my hands and feet are a little disobedient, oops, sorry, my hands slipped. β
The minister in charge of the duchy's commerce, Mr. Guy the Crown, came to Van's side, raised the cutlery in his hand, and threw it towards the place where the duke of the neighboring country was.
Bernal, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, gracefully approached Mr. Guy's side, drank the liquid from his glass, and then raised the empty glass.
"Although I am not Miss Alicia's elder, I have watched her grow up. There was really no way to ignore his daughter's pain like a cold-blooded count. β
"Well, it seems that I am drunk, and I can't even hold the wine glass with my slippery hands, which is really a gaffe. With a bang, the cup was smashed to pieces.
Seeing that these principality heavyweights set an example, gradually, some young nobles couldn't hold back and stood up.
"Oh! My hand slipped too, what a mistake. The red-haired young knight stepped forward.
"Hmm, did you drink too much? The whole person is spinning, sorry, my hand slipped. The green-haired knight followed.
More and more young people came to Fan's side, looking at the Duke from Pol, and then more nobles began to gather with the crowd, speaking of which Alicia's popularity in the Duchy is really very good, since the old duke's time, because of work, the girl has been following the old duke's side, she has been in contact with the nobles of the entire duchy in all aspects, when under the strict rule of the old duke, the kind little girl's unintentional intercession made her win the gratitude of countless people, these nobles were originally dissatisfied with the little Elle who belonged to Almac to marry a foreign country, and now someone has taken the lead, these people have stood up little by little, became part of the opposition to this marriage.
Of course, if the girl who is favored by everyone voluntarily ties the knot with Gilheim, then of course everyone will sincerely send their blessings, even if anyone stands up against it, no one will respond, but everyone is not blind, when you see Alicia's performance at the engagement ceremony, the answer is already obvious.
No matter how internal conflicts there are, these Armac nobles are always one country, and the mood of hatred and hatred is the same in any country, and Van der Almac, although a little unreliable, is also a real duke, qualified and has the right to lead them.
The previous dark declaration full of courage added to Fan's score, even if he still thought he was a fool on the surface, but a certain cognition in everyone's heart gradually changed beyond his own notice.
For the first time, with Alicia as an opportunity and Fan as the core, the nobles of Almac united.
It was an interesting scene, with Van as the center, most of the nobles present gathered together to face their common enemy, and all sorts of utensils and cups flew out because of the slippery hand.
A small number of old and serious people, or those with evil intentions, formed a small circle alone and did not join in this farce of unity.
But even these small circles insisted on excluding Thomas Bain.
The cold-blooded fat minister stood alone, watching everything that was happening in front of him.
"Haha, we Almaks really like hand skating, how about making hand skating a traditional part of the banquet?" Van happily laughed as he stood in the center, and then picked up the god knows what it was and threw it at the Duke of the neighboring country.
"Forgive me for refusing, Lord Duke, even if I am on your side, it does not mean that I will accept your order. The gold-rimmed Bernal earnestly refused, as he had refuted the absurd orders given by Van countless times in his daily life, while continuing to toss the cup.
Ed Gilheim dodged and fended off a myriad of flying debris, some of which were just for show, not really coming at him, but the rest were enough to make him embarrassed.
It wasn't until four knights from Boer hurried in and protected Ed that he was freed.
"Hmph...... I see. β
The duke from a neighboring country finally gave up the act of bringing a ring for Alicia, in fact, the girl had already hid aside in order to avoid being harmed by the pond fish, she looked at the farce in front of her with tears and laughter, and felt relaxed and happy with all her heart, as if she had been suppressing something in herself, the dark and deep entrenchment in her heart, something that made people shudder, all accompanied by the sound of ping-pong, was smashed to pieces.
"Is this Almac's hospitality?" Under the protection of his subordinates, in the face of the hostile Almac, Ed laughed like a breeze, and if he didn't count the embarrassed appearance, he looked quite imposing: "I do feel it." β
"As a courtesy, please feel the warmth from the Duchy of Boer. β
