Chapter 31: The Feast
The Iron Fist Castle is lit up at night. Many of the servants were busy, for their lord was going to have a banquet tonight, and Toby stood at the door of the main hall of the Iron Fist Castle, looking at the busy servants around him with a condescending gaze. This is the place where tonight's banquet will be held, and Toby, as the host, is expected to stand at the door to greet the guests.
Toby, who is wearing a tuxedo, looks particularly tall. At this time, Toby was full of ambition, with the support of his mother, he had already gained the support of the Seremis family, plus his own Emilio family, a total of 30,000 troops were stationed outside the territory of the Saranal family, this is a silent threat, if the other party can not agree to his terms, then when tomorrow dawn, the messenger with the order to launch an attack will set off, and after five days at most, the war will be ignited in the territory of the Saranal family.
The voice of the master of ceremonies not far away came in: "Miss Vivien and Mr. Fabia have arrived!" This voice woke up Toby, who was looking forward to a better future, and sent Toby's mind back to the scene of the banquet. Vivien and Ryan appeared side by side in front of Toby, and Toby only glanced at Vivien and was furious.
According to the rules of banquets between nobles, attending such banquets are generally dressed, men are most likely to wear tuxedos, while women are usually low-cut skirts, of course, there is not only such a dress, but no matter how the dress changes, the general content will not change. But Vivien was still wearing her leather armor, and Ryan was only wearing a robe, which was not even as good as a servant of the master of ceremonies.
"Vivien, you, what do you mean by that!" Toby was speechless, he pointed to Vivien's leather armor and asked in a low voice, "Are you trying to cause trouble?"
Vivian looked at Toby with disdain, because of Ryan by her side, Vivian only felt that she had never had such confidence, she sneered at each other and said, "Aha, your Emilio family is naturally a famous nobleman, how can I afford to wear a dress?"
Toby was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that although Vivian had the blood of the Emilio family in her body, the family treated her as a slave at all, and Vivian's only dress-up dress was made in order to train her when she was not born, and when she thought of this, Toby felt a little ashamed in her heart, after all, Vivian was her sister, but she had not received anything in this family for so many years, and in turn, the family got tens of thousands of gold coins from Vivian every year.
Toby was about to say a few warm words to get closer to his relationship with Vivian, but at a glance he saw Vivian and Ryan standing together, for Ryan, Toby naturally heard his cronies mention it, but Ryan appeared in his field of vision for only half a day, even if Toby is powerful, it is impossible for Tobey to really understand Ryan, but Toby saw warmth and trust in Vivian's eyes, and this kind of gaze was actually given to Ryan.
Toby only felt that his head was "buzzing" and exploded, what guilt, what bloodline, all of them were thrown aside by him, Toby opened his mouth without hesitation and said: "Hmph, the bloodline of ** is like this, you listen to me, you are not allowed to do much tonight, otherwise your **mother's grave ......"
Vivien was furious when she heard Tobey insulting her dead mother, but Ryan reacted much faster than she did, grabbing Vivien's hand and patting her on the back of her hand a few times. The reminder from Ryan also calmed Vivian down, no matter what, now is not the time to turn her face, so Vivien didn't say anything to Tobido anymore, and pulled Ryan directly into the main hall.
Toby was about to have a seizure, but he heard the emcee's voice sound: "The Saranal family, Master Vera, Miss Adela has arrived!"
Toby knew that now was not the time to worry about these things, and it was not too late to settle accounts with Vivien after dealing with tonight's big matter, anyway, her mother's grave was in the mountains behind Tekken Castle, were you still afraid that she would run away? So Toby adjusted his mood, with a happy smile on his face, and walked up to Vera and Adela who walked in side by side: "Aha, welcome my most honored guest!"
"Damn it!" Vivien sat in the corner of the long table in a huff, grabbed the neatly arranged knife and fork and made a mark under the table, and then said to Ryan, who was sitting next to her, "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have taught him a good lesson." ”
"Bear with me for a moment, Vivien. Ryan said calmly: "According to the script, now is not the time for us to go on stage." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you. After listening to Ryan's words, Vivian quickly calmed down her mood and sat down at the long table obediently, which made Ryan feel very strange, when did Vivian, a hot-tempered beauty warrior, actually become such a character?
"Ah, Vivien, so you're here. Adra's voice sounded in the doorway, and Vivien immediately smiled, stood up and walked over to Adra: "Hey, you're so beautiful today. ”
Ryan turned his head to look, tonight's Adela can be said to be the focus of the whole banquet, she was originally slender and wore a pure white dress dress tonight, revealing a large area of skin on her chest, her full head of golden hair was neatly coiled on the top of her head, and a string of jewel necklaces with colorful light were worn on Adela's forehead, which was supposed to be worn around her neck, but Adela wore it on her forehead instead, which added countless charms to her.
Seeing Adela dressed up in such an elegant outfit, Vivien was ashamed to stand in her steps, but Adela hugged Vivian without care, and then said in her ear: "Vivian, in my eyes, you are a gem that has not been pondered, and now you have not found the person who admires you." ”
Vivian's face suddenly turned red when she heard this, she gently hugged Adra, and then separated from her, and at this time, Toby accompanied Vera to walk in, after seeing that all the guests had arrived, Toby snapped his fingers at the butler standing aside, naturally a servant quickly stepped up to serve everyone and sat at the square table, and then with the butler's order, more than a dozen hors d'oeuvres were put on the table.
"Please!" Toby, as the host, picked up the knife and fork first, forked a piece of smoked rabbit meat in front of him and ate it, which was the etiquette of the whole banquet, and only after the host began to eat, the guests could enjoy it as they pleased.
Toby slowly chewed the rabbit meat in his mouth, this smoked rabbit meat looks very common, but the dish prepared tonight is very troublesome to make, the rabbit can only be three months in size, otherwise the meat is not fresh and tender enough, and the fire cannot be big or small when smoking, otherwise it will affect the taste, and in order to be worthy of the status of the noble, the rabbit meat is smeared with a full seventeen spices, but such a small plate is enough to cost hundreds of gold coins, enough for a family of three under the Iron Fist Castle to live for decades.
