Chapter 9: The Wedding Part II

Fatty grilled sausages and kebabs sizzle and dripble on the fire, freshly baked bread is fluffy and delicious, and bright red apples and crystal clear grapes give off a subtle fragrance...... The back kitchen of Blackhammer has never been busier than it is now. For this wedding banquet, Rhodes can be said to have moved his family to bring up the best food and dedicate it to the guests.

In the front hall, the lords of the North and their knights had gathered at this moment, and the wedding of Rhodes and Caroline took place under the auspices of the priest White. All kinds of eyes gathered, some envious, some jealous, some faithfully blessed, and some sullen.

The priest was chanting on the stage, and some of the guests in the audience were already impatient, but the lords sitting in the front were still patient, and the knights in the back row...... Some belong to those who were promoted by force, and they were born to be gangsters, and they were not interested in such an elegant occasion at all, but they were just talking nonsense when the old man was a priest, and he couldn't wait to end the ceremony and have a good wedding feast.

On stage, Rhodes also felt that such a ceremony was too cumbersome, but in order to get married in the presence of the lords of the northern realm, he still endured it. In fact, the purpose is still there, this wedding is not just a wedding, it is a pledge that Blackhammer and Heidelberg will be closely linked from now on, and that Rhodes and Caroline will have a very important say in the affairs of the North.

Lord Edmund of Iceland and Lord Deguel of Snowrock cast affirmative glances, but Lord Cyril of Fort Watch, the largest castle in the North, cast a slightly disdainful gaze. Rhodes knew what the great lord was thinking, probably because he had been in the limelight this year and had wiped out his prestige. However, in terms of strength, Overwatch is still the strongest in the north, and there is no doubt about this at present.

Finally, the pastor finished the long prayer, and after a series of complicated rituals, the wedding feast began.

The servants brought up the roasted food in batches, and ten roasted suckling pigs, each with ten different fruits in their mouths, caused the knights to salivate. The meat dish is followed by vegetarian dishes, and fruits are served last. Halfway through the meal, clowns and actors take on the stage, allowing guests to enjoy enthusiastic dance and theatrical performances while eating their meals.

This time, even the wedding was handled by Rhodes, and sometimes Rhodes really felt that he needed a real manager by his side, a real lord's hand. Otherwise, this little thing has to be arranged by yourself, and you won't be busy as a dog in the future?

Caroline walked back to her room after the wedding, surrounded by servants, and she had to change into a simple dress before coming out, otherwise it would be inconvenient to drag her long wedding dress into the table. And Rhodes took the opportunity to get together with a few old friends.

"Best wishes to the Lord of the Black Hammer, the King of the White Bear, and the Hero of War...... Anyway, I wish the great Lord Rhodes a happy new marriage!"

I don't know which drunk man in the crowd suddenly stood up, raised his glass, and shouted loudly. The crowd responded, cheering and drinking each other.

Rod had no choice but to turn around and smile at the crowd - "Have fun, everyone." ”

Soon, Dean of the young lord of Hoop Castle came over with a wine glass. He looked drunk, and a faint flush appeared on his fair face. He looked at Rhodes with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. Because in the eyes of their gang, although Rhodes is an uncle-level person, he is quite handsome. So......

Rod smiled and got up to receive him. Although he despises him very much in his heart, this addict is full of morality on the surface, but corrupt on the inside. Rod only glanced slightly, and saw that at the table in Ring Castle, Dean's rightful wife and the scantily clad purple-robed woman were sitting on either side of Dean's seat. According to the current words, it is the upper position of the junior...... Rod guessed that if it weren't for the fact that Dean's father-in-law, Lord Cyril, also came today, it is estimated that this guy would not even bring out his wife, and the purple-robed girl would be his beloved.

"Congratulations, Lord Rhodes, my father often mentioned you when he was alive, and we fought side by side many times in this Erengrad rebellion, and you showed me what it means to be a battlefield commander and what it means to be truly brave and fearless. Your union with Ms. Caroline would be the perfect pair. ”

Dean walked over and said a compliment. This was unthinkable before. You know, during the reign of Dean's father, Aubrey, Hoop was much more prosperous than Blackhammer. When the Beastmen invaded, Rhodes also asked Dean's father, Lord Aubrey, to borrow troops. And now, in just two years, everything is different. There is a lot of gossip about the Ring's finances struggling to make ends meet. People's lives are getting worse day by day. The so-called Lao Tzu has laid down the country all his life, and his son will be defeated in minutes, which is what he said.

"Thank you. ”

Rod perfunctory. 27KK

"By the way, how did the refugees of Errengrad settle down?"

Rhodes shifted the subject.

"Oh, do you think of those beggars who are so poor that they want to go into the city to eat? If they can work, I will take them in, and if they are not physically fit, they will be stopped outside the city. Ringfort is the same as your territory, it's not a place to eat and drink for nothing, is it?"

Rod smiled, but his heart was full of contempt, who is like you imbecile?

"What about Alves? Why didn't I see him?"

Rod changed the subject again, it was really hard to talk to this rich boy.

"Oh...... You say that dwarf. ”

"He's your uncle. ”

Rod corrected.

The expression on Dean's face instantly became a little bad, "He's not my uncle, I don't have such a deformed uncle." The Aubrey family has noble blood in their veins, how can there be such an ugly creature as a dwarf?"

He was blunt.

Seeing this, Rhodes seemed to be unable to carve rotten wood, and he didn't speculate for more than half a sentence. Forget it, don't dig into it anymore. It's just that on such an important occasion, Alves didn't appear, which really made Rod faintly worried.

In the middle of the conversation, Caroline appeared in a tight little gown. She put on some light makeup, her delicate facial features and fair skin, and then matched it with a tight-fitting dress, she is simply the absolute protagonist on the field. The guests were full of praise one by one, and Dean hurriedly stepped forward to talk, but Rhodes stood in front of him.

"My wife and I have something to talk about, and your Excellency will come back later. ”

Rhodes said, leaning in front of Caroline, putting his arm around her shoulders and sitting down with her.

Dean, with his shiny hair, reluctantly returned to his seat. Dean's little lover Sophia can be seen casting a strange look. The gaze was supposed to be hostile, but Rod saw in her eyes another, more perverted desire......

"Tonight, help me keep an eye on these two. ”

Rhodes summoned his men and commanded them.
