In a short period of time, more than a dozen barons and dozens of knights who participated in the banquet were all familiar with Ryan, except for Baron Archie's somewhat unclear meaning, everything was smooth and harmonious, and a beautiful noble lady invited him to dance during the period.

He danced a few dances politely, and felt uncomfortable after the end, but these noble ladies were too bold, not only dressed enthusiastically, but also flattered when dancing, and their hands were not honest.

Although Ryan was a human being for two lifetimes, it was also the first time he had experienced such a scene, which gave him the illusion that a lamb had strayed into a wolf pack.

It can only be said that a full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, as long as he gives some hints, it's okay to have some in-depth exchanges tonight, I don't know how many people are envious.

It's a pity that an old virgin like him in two lifetimes, even if he knows the "characteristics" of the aristocratic circle, he still has some obstacles to accept, and decisively rejected their "kindness".

After coming and going, the noble ladies were disappointed, and instead of working on him, they began to "attack" other young handsome guys.

Among the people present, if you talk about young age and appearance, the only one who can be compared to Ryan is Baron Brace, and it is a coincidence that his territory is sandwiched between the Viscountdom of Marton and the Lordship of Cana.

Looking at Baron Brace, who was starry-eyed, Ryan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist, and began to talk to the people around him.

For him, dealing with these noble ladies was much more tiring than killing enemies on the battlefield.

Time passed quietly, alcohol gradually came up, everyone more or less took off some aristocratic disguises, and Ryan even saw that there were men and women hooking up and leaving, and he could think of what to do with his toes.

"Tsk, the aristocratic circle is really chaotic." Taking a sip of the somewhat sour red wine, he looked at Miss Aisha's position, the moment she appeared, the focus of today's banquet had changed.

There were many people around her, and even Chels felt like she was being ignored.

It's just that although there are many admirers, no one has ever dared to invite her to dance, in terms of identity and appearance, Aisha is indeed enough to make most people ashamed of themselves, she is like an angel in the earth, making people feel that talking to her is an offense.

"The pride of heaven is nothing more than that." David Bella said with emotion, then looked at Ryan and said, "Baron Ryan, the people present have the opportunity for you and Baron Brace to invite Miss Aisha to dance together, why don't you try it?" ”

David Bella has been married for many years, has several children, and has less ideas about this, for him, one-night stands are more suitable for him, and those noble ladies are his targets.

But this didn't prevent him from prying Ryan to try, maybe Lang had a concubine interest, so he hugged the beauty.

Ryan was dumbfounded, although he had a little shallow friendship with the other party, he had no idea of climbing up the pole, as the only daughter of Chels, her destination was to marry a nobleman of the same or even higher, and no one present picked this white rose.

He ate and drank in the corner, occasionally saying a few words, and his mind was more about the Gothic province.

Under normal circumstances, no one would have noticed Ryan, but now that the focus of the audience is on Aisha, and the young men are all around, Ryan seems to be a bit maverick.

Aisha in the crowd was dealing with the people around her, but her beautiful eyes also noticed Ryan in the distance, before he was mixed in the crowd, she hadn't noticed it, but now it was very conspicuous.

"Huh...... It's actually him, what a coincidence, I didn't expect him to be in Lintonshire. ”

Aisha sighed softly, and at that time she said that there would be a chance to meet again in the southern border, but she didn't expect it to be a prophecy.

Although the two did not have much contact, Ryan was extraordinary, polite, and knowledgeable, and equally fond of reading, which left a deep impression on her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but walk towards Ryan, it can be regarded as an acquaintance, if she sees it, it is really unreasonable not to say hello.

As soon as she moved, the eyes of the audience followed suit, looking ahead of her, there were two people there, one was the handsome but somewhat incomprehensible Baron Lane.

One is the young and promising Baron Blaise, who holds the moon with all the stars.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, could this beautiful pearl like an angel invite one of them to dance?

Miss Aisha's first dance tonight is a bit exciting.

Seeing Aisha coming over, followed by a lot of melon-eating people, Ryan couldn't help but be a little surprised, not that he felt good about himself, but that the other party's eyes were always on him, and it was not difficult to see that the other party was looking for him.

Standing up in advance, the two glanced at each other, and were about to speak, but who expected that "Cheng Biting Jin" came out directly from the halfway, and a figure blocked in front of Ryan, he made a posture that he thought was handsome, and the gentleman stretched out his hand, and said in a gentle voice:

"Beautiful Miss Aisha, my name is Brace, and I am the lord of the Brace Lord, can I have the honor of inviting you to a dance?"

After Brace finished speaking, he bowed slightly and made a palm-up gesture, if the other party put his hand on it, it meant that his opportunity had come.

He considered himself the most qualified person to invite her to dance, and since he was not married, such a banquet was also an opportunity to choose a mate.

As the leader of Linton County, the Malton family is quite powerful in terms of financial resources and network resources, and if a new nobleman like him who has no backing can hug this thigh, then the benefits will be unimaginable.

Although the other party behaved very gentlemanly, the possessiveness and aggression in his eyes were exposed, Aisha frowned without a trace, and said with a light smile:

"I'm sorry, Baron Brace, I'm honored to have your invitation, but I have some personal matters to attend to now, so please forgive me."

Blaise's smile suddenly froze on his face, this is an obvious refusal, which makes his face a little unbearable, if he changes his identity, he will not give up easily even if he is strong.

But after all, there was a gap between the other party and his identity, and Viscount Chels pressed on him like a majestic mountain, making him dare not have the slightest unpleasant expression.

"That's a shame, I hope I can have a chance next time." Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Blaise walked to the other side with his wine glass, and soon a noble lady surrounded him.

"Mr. Lane, what a surprise to see you here." Aisha walked not far away from Ryan, with a smile on her face, just like she had seen her in the library.

It's just that she is far more dazzling today than she was then.

"Miss Aisha, the most surprising thing to me is you, Viscount Chels is actually your father, if I had known earlier, I think I would definitely have more topics to talk about when I communicate with you."

Ryan stood up and spread his hands with a helpless expression.

On such an occasion, Aisha walked up to him and talked to him, which was not something to be proud of, because he felt a lot of hostility in an instant.

If he could, Ryan would have raised his hands and told them that he had no intention of being a rival to them.

Although Brace was in the women's pile, he didn't forget to pay attention to the movement here, and when he saw Ryan and Aisha talking and laughing, he suddenly felt a burst of fire, and his back molars were about to be crushed.

"A baron in the wilderness, why is he!" Blaise drank the red wine from his glass in one gulp, his heart was full of anger, he felt that he had lost face, and everyone around him looked at him as if they were sarcastic.

Chels didn't forget to pay attention to his baby daughter when he was pushing glasses and changing lamps with many nobles, and it was a little surprising to see her chatting with Ryan, but he was also happy to see it, and he continued to drink and brag after just a few glances.

"I've always heard my father mention your name and say how good you are on the battlefield of the expedition, I thought it was just the same name, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Aisha didn't know what to think, and completely left the suitors aside, chatting with Ryan about whether she had a match or not.

To be honest, the two didn't know each other very well, and they didn't have much in common, and in the end, Aisha showed enough interest when talking about some anecdotes or some content in books, and occasionally offered her own opinions.

Don't underestimate the knowledge contained in the mind of any magician, especially Aisha, who is a scholar, and some unique insights often make Ryan feel like his eyes are bright.

As the conversation deepened, the two became more and more speculative, although Ryan knew less about this world, but after all, he was a human being in two lives, and his knowledge reserve was also huge.

Although most of them are fragmented memories, he has some unique insights in the exchange, which makes Aisha can't help but start to re-examine him.

The time of the night passed quickly, and the banquet was coming to an end, and Viscount Chels did not know how much wine he had drunk, and his face turned a little red, but only he knew how drunk he was.

"Hey, gentlemen, put down the wine in your hands first, I have something to inform you."

Chels raised his hand to signal the crowd to be quiet, and then recounted the turmoil in the Gothic province.

The meaning was very simple, everyone understood that except for a few nobles present, whose expressions were a little panicked, most of them did not react.

The people who can come here have a certain strength, they have all kinds of intelligence channels, and they have already been mentally prepared for a long time, but it is just a question of whether it is comprehensive or not.

They're all here today, and no one can say for sure if there is any stress in it.

If Lintonshire really received the call-up, then Chels would definitely be a well-deserved commander-in-chief, and when the time comes, everyone will be mixed together, and it will be necessary to contact the relationship as soon as possible.

"Is there another war?" Aisha frowned, she was terrified every time Chels went on an expedition, for fear that bad news would come at any time.

"The apostles of the evil gods are all people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and this day will come sooner or later." Ryan nodded slightly, and he also had a sense of urgency in his heart, and Canna's army was not enough to give him a sense of security.

Aisha nodded, but she was no longer in the mood to continue communicating.

The last part of the banquet has evolved into an alliance between them, as if this was not a banquet, but a meeting place for the alliance.

Even David Bella expressed his intention to form an alliance to Ryan, and although the matter of the conscription order has not yet been written, they have almost decided that this will happen.

Multiple allies have multiple retreats on the battlefield, and the nobles know this.

At the end of the banquet, the nobles returned to their rooms one after another, and Ryan said goodbye to Aisha, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he found a figure leaning against the pillar outside the door.

Ryan frowned, trying to get around, but the man stood in front of him.

"Baron Blaise, is there anything wrong with you?"

"Hehe, I saw you when His Majesty was knighted, and I heard about your deeds, but I always thought that you were just lucky, and it was a shame for me that you could be knighted in the same batch as me."

Blaise had completely removed the mask of hypocrisy on his face, and he did not hide his hostility towards Ryan at all.

"Why, are you questioning His Majesty's decision? Miss Aisha rejected you, and I can understand the annoyance, so I don't think I heard it. ”

The other party spoke politely, and Ryan's eyes also cooled, sometimes life is so wonderful, you walk well on the side of the road, and a mad dog has to come and bite you.

was debunked by Ryan, Blaise's face became even more ugly, and he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, you are insulting a nobleman, I want to duel with you!" ”

Ryan: "......"

What stinks, there is a duel at every turn, and Ryan already doesn't want to deal with him.

Glancing at him coldly, Ryan walked straight forward, he was not interested in accepting such a meaningless challenge, not to mention that he had nothing to do with Aisha, and even if he did, he would not come according to the other party's wishes.

He is not his father, and he is not obligated to get used to him.

"You coward without any aristocratic spirit, today I must make you understand the gap between us, you are just lucky."

With that, Brace's body swooped out and drew the saber at his waist.

Brace is not a knight, but an elemental transcendent, but he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he only intends to use his swordsmanship to force Ryan to make a move.

Just as the tip of the sword was about to stab Ryan in the back of the heart, he turned abruptly, his face was full of coldness, and he drew his saber with lightning and directly missed it.

The conflict between the two was only a matter of a moment, and it was not until they fought the nobles around them who were about to leave that they noticed something strange and stopped to watch.

The nobles in the border territory all have one thing in common, that is, they are full of martial virtues, and most of them have solid military merits, and they have no intention of stopping such a competition, but are a little excited.

At the end, Chels and Aisha also noticed the commotion outside, and when they walked outside the door, they saw the scene of the two facing each other with swords.

A hint of worry flashed across Aisha's face, and she vaguely understood why Blaise was bothering Ryan, and she couldn't help but start worrying.

"Hehehe, the competition between the two youngest barons in Lintonshire is really exciting, Aisha, which of them do you think will win?"
