Chapter 27: Iron Fist Castle (3)

Ryan walked over and opened the door, and there stood a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old outside the door, who was struggling to hold up a large wooden plate with a large glass of water, a few pieces of black bread, and a small plate of bacon. ”

Ryan smiled at the little girl, and immediately took the big wooden plate from her hand, and after the little girl was empty, she immediately sighed, reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then said to Ryan: "Uncle Fabia, you are really a good person. ”

Ryan bent down and said to the little girl, "Who is your grandfather? Let me guess, is it Bill?"

"Yes. The little girl agreed, and then said to Ryan, "Although the portion of this food is a little smaller, I didn't steal it." ”

Ryan smiled dumbly, patted the little girl on the head lovingly, and said to her, "I know." Oh, by the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Barbara!" replied the little girl in a loud voice, "and in a few hours it will be time for supper, and if you are full of these humble foods now, you will not be able to enjoy that sumptuous dinner in the evening." ”

"Hehe, Barbara. How do you know there's a great dinner in the evening?" Ryan walked into his room with a wooden plate in one hand and Barbara in the other.

Barbara puffed up her chest and said, "Since Miss Adela and Young Master Weir are coming today, Young Master Toby will receive them well." I saw them roasting a Talon cow in the backyard in the morning. ”

Ryan's heart moved, it stands to reason that if it doesn't make any other sense to entertain another family with unknown friends and foes when his father was seriously ill, I'm afraid no one would believe it, could it be that Toby is going to discuss the marriage with the heir of the Saranal family tonight?

Ryan said in a complimenting tone, "Barbara, you are really capable, can you tell me about tonight's banquet?"

"Well, of course Barbara is very capable. I know everything. Barbara proudly said, "Take the main course of the banquet, they started to smoke on the fire early this morning, and I know that they have a Taron sheep in the belly of the Taron cow, and in the belly of the Talon sheep is a wind peng, and in the belly of the wind peng is an edelweiss rabbit." Inside the belly of the edelweiss is a ...... A ......., alas, I can't remember, anyway, what kind of egg, that egg will be given to the most precious guest in the banquet. ”

Of course, Ryan knew that the dish Barbara was talking about was a big dish in the imperial banquet, but the more honorable the host, the more things to bake on this layer, and the longer it would take, if it was Luke himself, I am afraid that there would be twelve different animals, which would have been put on the fire three days ago.

But if Barbara's words are true, then tonight's banquet will be very important, because Toby actually brought out such a big dish, I don't know who he will give tonight's baked egg to, Ryan maliciously guessed that it was probably the Adela, maybe Toby will have a gimmick like proposing on the spot.

After asking Barbara a few more words, seeing that the little girl was just talking about some things about the preparations for the banquet, Ryan smiled, took out a silver coin from his body, and put it in Barbara's little hand, Barbara said happily: "Thank you, Uncle Fabia, now I can buy a wooden sword for my brother." ”

Sending Barbara away, Ryan sat casually at the table, he picked up a piece of black bread and ate it slowly with the bacon, Ryan chewed each bite of food very carefully, and then swallowed it. Although the food was a little rough, Ryan didn't care, and ate it with relish.

From Barbara's innocent words, Ryan keenly felt that tonight's banquet would have the potential to change the situation in the entire Cassano Plains, once the Emilio family and the Saranal family successfully married, coupled with the power of the Seremis family on Toby's mother's side, Toby would become the master of the entire Cassano Plains.

Obviously, this will greatly affect the interests of the other two families, and if they can survive the brutal struggle for 200 years until now, how can the other two families be general? How can they sit idly by and watch Toby's strength be exposed? And if Toby is not sure, how can he rashly turn to the Saranal family, if this is rejected by the other party, then what is the face of the entire Emilio family? Maybe a war will break out immediately.

So no matter what kind of ending tonight is, the situation in the entire Cassano Plain will change dramatically, but Ryan didn't pay attention to this, anyway, now the imperial capital can't afford to care about coming here, and Vivien is only the only one who really has anything to do with Ryan here.

It's just that when the war really happens, civilians like Barbara have a hard time. Of course, Ryan is not so great, he will be ready to end this troubled world by himself for the happiness of the people of the entire continent, and all he can do is to ensure the safety of his relatives and friends, nothing more.

When Ryan swallowed the last bite of bread, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, Ryan walked to the door a few steps, and gently opened the door, the man outside the door stretched out his hand and was about to knock on the door, but found that the door was open, and Ryan was standing in front of him, so he said respectfully, "Is it Mr. Fabia? Miss Vivien asked me to invite you over." ”

Ryan first looked up and down the man in front of him, he was wearing a servant's dress similar to that of old Bill, his skin was dark, and the knuckles of his fingers were calloused, so he nodded and replied, "Okay, then you can lead the way." ”

The man didn't say much, just saluted respectfully, and then walked briskly ahead to lead the way. Ryan casually closed the door and followed the manservant.

After walking for about five or six minutes, the male servant led Ryan to a remote courtyard, and the male servant pointed to a slightly dilapidated door in the corner of the courtyard and said to Ryan, "That's it, Miss Vivien just asked me to take you here, you go by yourself, I'll go first." ”

After saying that, the manservant left quickly, and closed the door of the entire courtyard diligently before leaving. Ryan listened to the footsteps of the manmaid who were gradually moving away, and there was a slight strangeness in his heart, if Vivien really had something important, she would naturally come to find her in person, if she couldn't leave, it was not impossible to let someone come and pass a few words to herself, but why let someone take her to such a remote place?

At this moment, a woman's voice rang out: "Die!" Immediately after, Ryan heard a whistling sound coming from the back of his head, and an arm-thick wooden stick smashed down on the back of Ryan's head.
