Chapter 132: The Banquet of Peace (Part II)

After getting Landzel's reply, Trist's face immediately showed an excited smile, and he couldn't help but throw the cup directly to the servant behind him, as if he had completely forgotten his nervousness and worry just now, and looked at Landzel's gaze completely devoid of the initial hostility: "Dear cousin Landzel, I promise you, you will never regret this decision today!"

"I think so too, and there is no doubt that the continuation of the Otovík family is our most important mission. In Landzel's eyes, there was no difference between the current Trist and the child who was rewarded with candy, and he smiled quite tolerantly: "And I believe that as a blood relative, dear cousin, you will never break the agreement, right?"

"Of course! When the banquet is over, I'll disband the militia in Bright Star City - it's time for us to recuperate and restore peace. Trist couldn't hold back the smile on his face at all, and he was a little excited and couldn't help himself: "Then, I will officially declare the Purple Sail Mercenary Regiment as the only mercenary group in Bright Star City, and as the cousin of the head of the regiment, you are naturally the guardian of Bright Star City." ”

"Thank you very much. Landzel smiled, and even bent down very respectfully and pointed to the seat in the main hall, "So, I think it's time for everyone to get to know the new head of the Ottovik family?"

"It's a great honor. Taking a deep breath, Trist reluctantly carved the impulse in his heart, straightened up the clothes on his body, and walked towards the black back chair, raising his chin with great pride, and even the steps under his feet were fluttering.

Landzel followed behind, his hands in front of him and his head bowed slightly, as if he were really a humble servant, and even his steps were half a step slower than Trist's from beginning to end. The respectful could not be more respectful.

The originally lively hall suddenly stopped, and the nobles of Bright Star City with surprised or surprised expressions were all watching this scene involuntarily, and even several envoys from the Dominica city-state were shocked to put down the food that was almost up to their lips, and looked at Landzel and Trist with their mouths wide open.

How did two blood-splattered people who were supposed to be killed suddenly reconciled?!

Trist, with a solemn expression, sat down in his chair. Landzel stood behind the chair without even shaking the brass bell in his hand, all eyes were already on him, and Trist Ottovic, who had never experienced it before, only felt a wave of comfort and pleasure from head to toe, and his lips curled arrogantly.

"Gentlemen, colleagues of the Nine Rings Council and...... Distinguished guests from Turin, allow me, Trist Ottovic, in my capacity as leader of the Shining Star City, to declare here that the war is over, the conspiracy of Cosimo and his supporters is over, and it is time for us to restore peace. ”

"And the first order I will give when I become the patriarch of the House of Otovík is to surrender to the Kingdom of Turin - this is no shame. Because all of us have fought bravely, for the peace of Bright Star City and the lives of thousands of innocent people, let this catastrophe come to an end quickly, and let our ancient city-state mother wake up from this nightmare as soon as possible!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall burst into thunderous applause - whether it was the nobles of Bright Star City, who were taking a breath and no longer had to make difficult choices about their positions, or the Turin Expeditionary Force, who were tired of the war and wanted to leave as soon as possible, they couldn't help but applaud vigorously. Cheer for this peaceful ending.

“...... A fool who gets blinded by candy. ”

A scornful smile flashed across Edward's face, and he could still see the guy standing behind the chair even though there were a few tables away. is still throwing smug glances at himself. And, of course, Trist Ottovic, who was giggling in his chair.

Landzel will give up the big joke. He had set his goal from the beginning to completely destroy the Otovik family, how could he easily hand over power to a vulnerable guy - although it was not clear what he was planning to do, it was certain that this guy named Trist was not far from death.

"What were you talking about?" Alan Kwin's curious voice came from the side, and his blue eyes blinked at him: "...... squinted by candy"

"Uh...... Nothing, just talking to myself. Edward tugged at the corners of his lips and quickly changed the subject. With a somewhat exaggerated expression, she looked at the girl with jam on her side, and the plate on the table was also full of all kinds of small snacks.

No matter how much she is cultivated as a knight, the girl's nature is still uncontrollable - especially the love of sweets, no matter how much the blonde girl maintains a ladylike posture, she still can't stop reaching out to the small biscuits. The urge to lemon cake and chocolate balls.

"I've heard that when you were in the barracks, you led a demoralized rout to repel the onslaught of the rotting corpses - a great victory. Edward's surprised eyes turned to a messy plate: "But it seems that I don't need to congratulate anything, I hope you can create more glory on this 'battlefield'!"

"Hey?" Alan was stunned, glanced at the plate before he understood, and his face, which was still stunned just now, immediately turned red from his forehead to his neck, and stammered and retorted: "I, I just think these cakes are ......"

"It was so delicious, so there was no restraint. Edward smiled and continued.

"That's right...... It's not like this!" The blonde girl bit her red lip tightly and proudly puffed up her small breasts: "It's definitely not that I can't be restrained, I'm the heir of the Kwen family, so I won't be unable to control myself because of such a little temptation." ”

"And I have no doubt about that. ”

Mean, shameless, self-righteous bastard!Allen, whose cheeks were flushed, felt only angry and itched his teeth, and even wanted to pounce on him and bite him. The angry girl stared at her big eyes like a squirrel, and turned her head away with a snort, not even looking at him. But he still couldn't help but glance over, and as soon as he saw that Edward was still looking at him, he quickly withdrew his gaze in a panic, pretending to be "I don't know".

"Where are you going to go when this war is over?" the girl asked casually, absentmindedly turning the cake on the plate into a pile of slimy, "Do you want to go back to Bright Star City?"

"It is very likely that after all, I am the military attache of His Highness Anson Marcherus and the Knight of the Sacred Tree - and I will naturally go back to report on my work and continue my original work after the mission is completed. With a chuckle, Edward replied as a matter of course, "Do you think I should go somewhere else?"

"Not really!" Alan quickly retorted, "It's just ...... If you don't have a place to go back, if you want, if, if...... Anyway, if you're going to come to Fort Hague, I'm not going to kick you out. ”

"Edward, why are you here?" said Lusan Minest, who had changed into a beautiful robe, as a somewhat vague footstep approached the side, "I heard you were missing - what is the matter?"

"Nothing, just a little accident. Subconsciously avoiding the topic, Edward raised his head and glanced at him: "Is there anything important?"

Lusan glanced at Edward suspiciously—he had heard that Edward had stormed the hall alone and tried to kill Cosimo Ottovic. Although Lusen didn't doubt that this guy had that kind of strength, he still couldn't help but wonder why.

What is it that makes this guy even care for his life and determine the death of the "poor worm" of Cosimo Otovik?

However, this did not make Lusen think too much, and he blinked his eyes and skipped the question: "Lord Leonardo wants to see you, right now." (To be continued......)
