Chapter 18: The Rose Family
Seeing Anse Air fainting, Alan chuckled and shook his head, it seems that today's matter is going to end here.
"I'm staying at the Green Wind Hotel in the middle of the city, so come to me if there's anything you want. ”
This sentence was said by Allen to the patrol soldiers and Argef. With that, Alan left with Lux and Tetsu Tetsu Four.
Back at the Green Wind Hotel, Alan cleaned up, and it was almost noon. And the coming-of-age ceremony of the third young master of the City Lord's Mansion was held at noon today.
Alan straightened his clothes and took Lux into the carriage, which the coachman drove towards the city lord's mansion, followed by ten Demacian hoplites.
"Young Master, the City Lord's Mansion has arrived. ”
It didn't take long for the coachman's voice to come from outside the carriage. The Lord's Mansion is located in the very center of Nice, not far from the Green Wind Hotel, where Alan is staying.
Alan and Lux got out of the carriage, and Alan looked up at the City Lord's Mansion not far away. Majestic, gorgeous, this is Allen's first impression of the Lord's Mansion of Nice.
However, after the last few contacts with the City Lord's Mansion, Alan does not have much of a good impression of the City Lord's Mansion, and it can be seen from Algev's style of acting that this Nice City Lord's Mansion must be very domineering on weekdays.
It's just that I don't know what kind of attitude the City Lord's Mansion will treat me with this time. Thinking in his mind, Alan had already walked to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Because today is the coming-of-age ceremony of the third young master of the City Lord's Mansion, there is an endless stream of guests at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and more than a dozen stewards of the City Lord's Mansion stand at the door, greeting the guests who came to watch the ceremony and congratulate them.
As for the three great butlers of the City Lord's Mansion, they were busy in the City Lord's Mansion.
"This young master, this young lady, are you also here to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of the third young master of our family?"
As soon as Alan and Lux reached the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, they were greeted by a steward from the City Lord's Mansion.
"That's right. Alan replied.
"Is there an invitation?"
Alan took out the invitation from his bosom and handed it to the steward of the City Lord's Mansion.
"It turned out to be Young Master Allen, please come inside, I'll take you in! I will arrange for others to receive these guards of yours. The steward took the invitation and glanced at it, and said enthusiastically to Allen.
Allen's please note says Alan Senlan, but the steward remembers that this is one of the few people that the city lord has specially explained to be seriously received, and it is said that he is the young master of the Wangdu Senlan family!
"Hurry up and inform the City Lord and the eldest young master, Young Master Alan Senlan is here!" While taking Alan into the City Lord's Mansion, the steward did not forget to let people go in quickly to report.
"Also, these guards of Young Master Allen are brought into the mansion to entertain them. "The City Lord's Mansion has arranged another place for entertaining the guards brought by the guests.
The attitude of the steward was a little unexpected by Allen, and it seemed that the City Lord's Mansion had a good attitude towards him.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Benedict, the City Lord of Nice City, and the eldest young master Connell were chatting with a few distinguished guests, and the Grand Butler of the City Lord's Mansion suddenly came to Benedict's side.
"Lord of the City, Master Alan Senlan has arrived. The butler said softly.
"Father, you stay with the guests, and I'll go and see. "But it was the eldest young master Cornell who took the initiative to ask for his life.
"Okay," said Benedict, "be polite, and don't neglect the guests." ”
Unaware of the two clashes between Alan and Algef, the steward of his house, Benedict to Connell.
"Got it, father. Connell walked out, followed by Algef, who was standing beside him.
"Lord Castle, could it be that the Alan Senlan you just mentioned is a member of the Senlan family?" a nobleman asked curiously after Cornell left.
Benedict laughed: "Yes, it is a young master of the Senlan family, whose father is Bowen Senlan. ”
"Son of Lord Bowen!" exclaimed another nobleman, Powen Senlan is now one of the most sought-after ministers in the kingdom!
"Lord Bowen's son, could it be the one who was exiled as a lord a few months ago because of family struggles?"
......
"Young Master, I didn't expect him to dare to come, you must teach him a good lesson!" Algef hurriedly whispered in Connell's ear after following Connell out.
"Don't worry, I've got my own measure. Cornell said expressionlessly.
Alan and Lux were led by the steward all the way into the City Lord's Mansion, and suddenly saw Cornell and Algev approaching them. Of course, Alan didn't know Cornell at this time.
"Young Master!" Seeing Cornell hurriedly stepped forward to salute, the steward revealed Connell's identity in one word: "This is Young Master Alan Senlan." ”
"I see, you go down. Cornell said to the steward.
"You're Alan Senlan?" said Cornell, turning his head to Allen.
"That's right, you're the eldest young master of the City Lord's Mansion?" Alan asked rhetorically.
"Introduce myself, my name is Cornell Farvin, and it's not wrong to say that I am the eldest young master of the City Lord's Mansion. ”
"I've heard him talk about the conflict between you and Algef, and I can ignore you and hope to make friends. Cornell Road.
Can you not worry about yourself? Alan smiled lightly, this city lord's mansion eldest young master, is really arrogant!
However, Allen's arrogance was also aroused by Cornell's words: "Then I thank Master Connell a lot, if you make friends, I can't afford to climb high." ”
Cornell smiled, looking indifferent: "Then please, my father is waiting for you in the auditorium." ”
With that, Cornell got up and led Argef inside.
Alan chuckled and followed, since he had already come, he might as well go in and see what he knew.
After entering the auditorium, the city lord of Benedict personally received Allen, and his attitude towards Allen was very warm. The nobles around the city lord of Benedict also greeted Eren warmly.
The identity of the young master of the Senlan family is still very open in the aristocratic circle of Nice City.
Cornell, on the other hand, has not spoken a word to Alan since entering the auditorium, and anyone can conclude that he is indifferent to Allen.
The city lord of Benedict naturally saw it, although he didn't immediately ask Connell why he did this, but he was very puzzled in his heart, because the matter of befriending Allen was brought up by Cornell!
The rites of passage of the Harilan people are extremely cumbersome, especially for the nobles of status. This coming-of-age ceremony of the Third Young Master of the City Lord's Mansion started at noon and ended in the evening.
During the ceremony, Alan naturally also met the third young master of the City Lord's Mansion, Crett Farvin, a big boy who smiled a little shyly, and didn't look like his brother Cornell at all.
As for the second young master of the City Lord's Mansion, Alan never saw him, and he didn't even know his name.
In the evening, Lord Benedict held a dinner party at the City Lord's Mansion to entertain the guests who had come to attend his son Clay's coming-of-age ceremony, and Alan naturally brought Lux to the dinner.
During the banquet, Alan took Lux and a few small nobles who deliberately befriended him to sit in a corner, sipping wine and talking and laughing.
Alan usually doesn't like to talk, but it doesn't mean that he is not sociable, in fact, after more than 20 years of cultivation in modern society, Allen and these nobles in the other world talk freely without any pressure. What's more, in order to make friends with Allen, the young master of the Senlan family, these little nobles follow him in everything.
At the banquet, a beautiful girl in a red dress was particularly eye-catching, and Alan saw countless young noble young masters and young ladies surrounding her, looking flattering.
The girl in the red dress looks very sweet, with a gentle smile on her face all the time, and she looks like a small jasper. In the face of the pursuit of countless young people around her, the girl was generous and generous, without any nervousness.
"Who is this girl, who seems to be very popular?" asked Alan to the nobles around him.
"Of course it is welcome," replied one of the young nobles, "this is the eldest lady of the Red Rose Collar, Sophia Rose." ”
The eldest lady of the Red Rose Collar, a member of the Rose family, heard the young nobleman's answer, and Alan said in his heart. After coming here for more than two months, he naturally didn't have heard of the famous Red Rose Collar and Rose family in the Nice City area.
The Red Rose Collar has a long history, even more so than the city of Nice. It is said that hundreds of years ago, the entire jurisdiction of the city of Nice was part of the Red Rose Collar, but for various reasons, the Red Rose Collar gradually declined, and now it is only a territory under the jurisdiction of the city of Nice.
However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the strength of the Red Rose Collar may not be as good as that of Nice City, but it is definitely far superior to the other territories under the jurisdiction of Nice City. In particular, the Red Rose Leader has a 5th-order army of 300 people, the Rose Knights. With the Knights of the Roses here, even the city of Nice would not dare to offend the Red Rose Collar easily.
The girl in the red dress in front of her, Sophia Rose, as the eldest lady with a red rose collar, is sought after by everyone, which is really normal.
Suddenly, a man with a bandage on his head appeared in front of Alan, blocking Allen's view of Sophia Rose. Alan took a closer look, and the person with the bandage on his head was not the same Ansel who had been beaten by himself on the street this morning.
Alan couldn't help but smile, he couldn't imagine that he would dare to appear in front of him!
In fact, after Anse El woke up from a coma, he had already made up his mind not to provoke Eren again, but in the afternoon, Connell, the eldest young master of the City Lord's Mansion, found him.
Cornell made it clear to him that Eren was just a victim of the Senlan family's family struggle, and then asked him to provoke Eren at the dinner party in the evening, trying to humiliate Alan. In the end, Cornell promised that no matter what happened, he would be on the same side as Ansel.
Anse El thought that Eren was now just a victim of the Senlan family, and he couldn't use the power of the family to deal with him, and his heart suddenly calmed down. Coupled with Cornell's commitment to him and his own hatred of Allen, he decisively accepted Cornell's offer.
Of course, after seeing the strength of the two guards around Allen, Anse Air expressed concern about whether there would be more such powerful guards around Allen, but Cornell dispelled his worries.
Cornell told Anse Air that after his own investigation, when Alan came to take up the position of lord, the Senlan family sent a first-order guard team of more than twenty people to protect him, and the two guards who followed Alan today were likely to be the chief and deputy captains of this guard team.
And according to the normal establishment, it is normal for a first-order escort team to have a second-level warrior or a third-level warrior captain, and it is already very strange to have two, and there will definitely not be a third.
Cornell's analysis made Anse Air full of confidence again, this time he came to Nice City, in addition to bringing two third-level warrior guards, he also brought a second-order guard team of twenty people, tonight, he will use this guard team to humiliate Allen, in order to avenge the beating and humiliation of Allen on the street this morning!
