The venue of the banquet was the location of the main hall that Ronan was invited to enter after arriving in Black Rock City for the first time.

On the walls on both sides of the main hall hung patches of well-treated furs from wild beasts, and the tall white bears in the center were held up by pine wood as always.

Only this time, the owner of this place has changed from Viscount Pex to Ronan.

"Good day, Lord Ronan, we haven't seen each other for more than two months, I hope you have time to visit the church, God will bless you."

As the interim administrator of the Blackstone Cathedral, Priest Beagle was naturally on the invitation list.

After seeing Ronan, he smiled and walked over to say hello.

"I'm sorry Priest Beagle, but as you can see, Black Rock has been busy lately, so I'll be sure to come and worship when I have time." Ronan responded with a smile.

As for what is in mind, that's another matter.

Going to church? After confirming that there were gods in this world, Ronan really didn't want to go near the church.

Although due to the disappearance of the original priest of the church, it is very likely that he was assassinated by vampires.

The current interim administrator, Priest Beagle, does not seem to have any supernatural powers, but is just an ordinary member of the Church.

But even so, it cannot be ruled out that the Lord of the church can perceive the problem through the believers.

Hearing his words, Beagle nodded approvingly.

"You're right, what you've done in Blackstone during this time is more meaningful than prayer, and I've seen very few poor people suffering from the Black Death in the city."

Remembering the smiles of the inhabitants near the church, the priest was in a good mood and grateful for Ronan's attitude.

Seeing his reaction, Ronan thought to himself that the city's reputation for this priest was really not wrong.

Compared to the missing priest who was often complained of alcoholism, impatience, and irritable temper.

The priest was embraced by many in Blackstone.

I am grateful that he was gentle with every commoner, patiently listened to the troubles of believers, and was attentive to help them through their suffering.

In fact, thanks to the support of the Beagle priest, Ronan was able to quickly shut down the city's steam baths and demand that the bath owners follow the hygiene rules.

Replaced by someone from another Holy Water Archbishop faction, Ronan's order is likely to be rejected by the church, causing a lot of trouble.

While the two were talking, outside the door of the main hall, a tall brown-haired woman stepped on the carpet to enter it.

The woman looks to be less than twenty years old, between a young girl and a mature woman.

She wore a lilac polygonal dress and a plain white fur shawl over her shoulders to keep warm.

Behind her, a teenager who looked to be about Ronan's age looked around, bored.

As soon as the two entered the main hall, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Foreign Minister Adlich, Commander of the City Defense Army, Rudolph, Representative of the Chamber of Commerce, Luca, and many other members of the family who live in Black Rock, including the family and the Ashford family.

They stopped talking and bowed their heads to the siblings to welcome them.

As the ruler of the northern provinces and a family of counts with great influence in the kingdom, the prestige of Count Draco is deeply rooted in this northern land.

And Black Rock City is one of them, and the people here have no need to say that they are in awe of this earl and his family.

As the focus of attention, Eve and Rand have long been accustomed to this, nodding in response to everyone's greetings.

Here, the people of the Drak family have always been the center of the feast.

On the other side, after seeing the arrival of the visitor, Ronan looked at Kasanna, who was hiding behind him.

"Don't be nervous, as Viscount Pex, you are the master here." Ronan comforted her.

Hearing him, Kasanna plucked up her courage and nodded, "Yes, they're here to listen to me." ”

Seeing Ronan walking up to the front and back, she hurriedly followed his footsteps.

"On the other hand, I am the acting city lord Ronan, and on behalf of Black Rock City, I welcome two friends from afar."

The elder brother in front of him heard his greeting, and the younger brother Rand stepped forward, looked him up and down, and then made a polite gesture towards him with a smile.

It's just that the words in the mouth are not so kind.

"I'm sorry, but on behalf of the Drake family, we came to visit Viscount Pex, you, who is it?"

Hearing the contempt hidden in the words, Kasanna, who was following behind her, turned red with anger and ran over to glare at him fiercely.

"Ronan is now my fiancé! I've given him the dominion of Blackstone, and you're not allowed to talk to him like that! ”

After hearing this, Rand couldn't help but sigh, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just the first time I've seen a viscount entrust his power to a baron of his subordinates, and you've really opened the eyes of the nobles of the northern provinces, Lord Viscount Pex." ”

In the face of his ridicule, Kasanna's eyes instantly turned red, and the mist filled the air.

"The joke is a bit too much, take the trouble to apologize to Kasanna." Ronan spoke.

Rand was unhappy in his heart, looked at him inexplicably, and just wanted to continue the sarcasm, but suddenly a spirit was struck all over his body.

Cold fingers reached into his clothes and grabbed the back of his neck.

It's his sister Eve's action!

"Do as he says, apologize, be sincere."

Eve still had the disbelief in her eyes, and after she calmed down, she glared at her brother.

？ No, you're sick as a woman, aren't you? Didn't you make a mockery of me when I was brought in?

Isn't it possible that you're also fascinated by the appearance of that little white face? He's not as good-looking as I am!

What a hassle for women!

Rand began to complain frantically in his heart, but under the obscenity of his sister, he still lowered his head in amusement, and said dejectedly:

"I'm sorry, Lord Ronan, I took the liberty of it, and Viscount Casanna, please forgive me for being rude."

"Hmph, don't talk to Ronan like that in the future!" Kasanna was then happy, and crossed her waist to teach him a lesson.

Rand turned his head angrily, imagining her as a wild duck quacking.

Wait until Ronan leads them into the banquet center and leaves briefly to preside over the banquet.

He hurriedly glared at his sister dissatisfied, and whispered:

"What are you crazy about, didn't you say that you would test the relationship between the other party and Kasanna? Pinch me for what? ”

"You really didn't listen to the family's etiquette class." Eve said angrily.

"Those bright purple eyes, only the purest royal blood can have, it can't be someone from the Orange family, but Ordovician!"

"What, royalty?" Rand's face was blank, "Then why does he claim to be self-proclaimed?"

"I remember that His Majesty's own brother, the Earl of Grant, married the daughter of the Earl of Orange, and had two sons and a daughter, and the one in front of me is probably one of them."
