Chapter 1017: The Banquet Begins

The banquet was also held inside the castle.

After receiving the notice, Ronald, who had nothing to prepare, immediately left the room with Kostadt.

Led by Nikos's side.

They only walked a few hundred meters inside the castle, bypassing several buildings with different functions, and then saw the place where the banquet was held.

Unlike the few banquets Ronald has attended in the past.

Nikos's banquet venue does not have any indoor parts, but chooses an open-air circular plaza as the venue. Ronald looked around carefully and quickly determined the basic form of the place at the beginning.

It is a saucer-shaped basin with a roughly circular outline, and each piece of bluestone brick is neatly cut, each large enough for one person to sit on, and the banquet structure is added later.

Aside from these superfluous buildings, there are actually quite a few things that resemble the style of the Roman Congress Forum.

Take a seat as the waiter instructs.

As the strongest caster among the guests, Ronald's position was placed on Claudia's right. After simply greeting Her Royal Highness the princess, Ronald heard Kostadt behind him whisper a reminder:

"Sir, when I had a banquet last night, I noticed that there seemed to be something underneath the ground here."

"Oh?" Ronald nodded imperceptibly.

Then the attention shifted downward, and Ronald's Scout spell did not detect a gap in the terrain beneath the ground, nor did it react to mana fluctuations.

But only the soul ability from the "Divine Comedy - Heaven Chapter" made Ronald detect some subtle reactions.

In this place that is now used as a banquet venue.

In fact, there are a certain number of souls sleeping, even if they are not active at the moment, but sitting on the ground, Ronald can also feel the desire to fight hidden in these souls.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Ronald's expression changed.

With the knowledge he has mastered, the souls in this world that can still leave traces after death can only appear when their emotions are quite intense before death, or their obsessions cannot be solved, and they are definitely one in a hundred rare existences; And according to the situation that Ronald now perceives...... There must be many dead people buried here.

A concave circular square.

And there are also a considerable number of warrior souls sleeping.

The entire castle was once used as a military fortress.

Together, Ronald immediately realized the purpose of the place in the past – a place for prisoners' executions, or a gladiatorial arena for watching a duel of the dead.

The royal family of Nikos now used this place as a banquet venue.

It's really hard to know how to evaluate.

Despite mixed feelings, Ronald did not express his opinion on this.

After all, this is the castle of the [Nikos] royal family.

Since the little anomaly under the ground is not a trap for Grad's personnel, he will naturally not be much of a guest when he is a guest.

At this moment, it is getting late, and the people of [Nikos] have no intention of letting the guests wait here forever. Ronald had only been seated for three or five minutes when footsteps could be heard on the way deeper into the castle.

Before these people arrived.

Claudia, to Ronald's left, seemed interested, and then introduced Ronald:

"Ronald, it's the [Nikos] royals over there, I think you know a few of them, right?"

"I met the countess in Springs before, and I don't know if we'll see you again this time."

Ronald should look at Claudia at the same time.

Outcome......

Although the mood is slightly fluctuating, it is also reasonable.

The people attending the banquet here were naturally Count Leticia and her royal husband, and just after the two, Luna, who Ronald had just thrown away yesterday, was there.

"Hehe......"

"If you think about it, there's nothing wrong with that."

In the process of getting along with herself, Luna's performance in various ways reflects her identity. It's just that I don't know what kind of identity this kid is in the royal family, so I dared to make such a move as running away yesterday.

And Ronald also has doubts in his heart.

Countess Leticia's abilities were clear to him. From a small point to a big one, the spells possessed by the [Nikos] royal family should not be weak. So why did Luna say that she was incapable of fighting during yesterday's experience?

"Ronald, are you curious about that girl?"

Ronald set his eyes on Luna, and it was naturally impossible for Claudia, who was talking to him, not to notice it. So Her Royal Highness the princess smiled slightly, and immediately reported the other party's information:

"This is Laeticia's daughter Philia, who did not attend yesterday when she heard that she was in poor health, and today she came to the banquet when she is getting better. And don't look at the fact that she is only fourteen years old this yearβ€”but all the young and handsome men who have seen the beauty of this princess are lined up to pursue her. ”

Claudia's introduction was full of poise.

It's just that in the eyes of Ronald, who is familiar with her, there is something unnatural in it.

Ronald thought about it for a moment, and immediately reminded in a low voice:

"Claudia, you're actually not very old, don't learn from His Majesty Daintrian in private."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Ronald never expected to be reminded by himself.

- Claudia is a rare gaffe!

When Her Royal Highness heard this, she was stunned for two seconds, and then her face turned red, obviously very embarrassed.

However, Claudia has been trained in royal life since she was a child.

This gaffe lasted only one breath, and Claudia readjusted her expression, and she could no longer see the appearance just now.

"Ronald, you're daring!"

"Even in Grad, there are not many people who can talk to me like that."

Claudia looked like she was scolding Ronald, but the smile in her eyes was undisguised.

Seeing Her Royal Highness the Princess's expression, Ronald apologized with understanding:

"I'm really sorry then, my esteemed princess......"

Suddenly, Ronald's voice dimmed.

Because he reacted suddenly, after Claudia introduced the relationship between Luna and the countess's mother and daughter, a problem that could not be ignored was placed in front of him.

Ronald thought about it for a while, and soon couldn't help asking:

"Wait, Claudia! The countess...... I remember not yet thirty this year? ”

"It's not polite to discuss the age of a lady." Claudia rebuked Ronald again, but at the same time, under the table, she used her finger to give Ronald two numbers.

II. VIII ......

The countess is twenty-eight years old, and Luna, her daughter, is fourteen.

So when she was fourteen years old, Countess Leticia had already given birth to Luna, and she had to give birth to Luna even a year earlier!

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

At this time, Luna's eyes also happened to spot Ronald at the banquet.

Facing the girl's strange eyes.

Ronald's current mood has become strange in this indescribable state.
