"Young Master Li Meng, that's our mistress's fiancé!"

......

It wasn't until Spieger, who arrived immediately after hearing the news, that Richard and Will, as well as the Holy warriors who had come with them, had a feeling of dreaming.

For no other reason than that everything the guard had just babbled about, including the fact that Spiegel himself had come out and greeted them politely, was so dreamy......

Walking through the marble floors so smooth that you can almost see your own reflection, you can see the powerful but silent servants who pass by.

While lamenting the wealth of Grand Duke Glia and the Mokawi family under his control, he is also marveling at their strength......

For no other reason, Richard saw that the weakest servant also had the rank of a warrior of his rank...... Moreover, they are all ...... Bloodline!

So, Richard turned his head, smiled, and began to communicate with Will, who was also a little uneasy, in the more secrecy of the Holy Clan.

"Will, what do you think?"

“...... Father, I always felt that something was wrong here...... The guard at the gate of the castle just now was just an ordinary high-ranking warrior. But the ranks of these servants are the chief warriors...... According to what I just observed, the strongest one has the strength of a great warrior commander. I just used the Pupil of Polya to observe, and I can be sure that they are definitely the same as the Grand Duke of Gloria, a bloodline that only exists in legends!"

"Hmm...... That's right. After hearing what the guard said, I felt something was wrong. According to common sense, the duty of defense and vigilance in the noble castle should be borne by the guards. At the same time, for more efficient management, the chores were done by ordinary people hired from outside the castle...... You're right, these people are all bloods! they are definitely not servants, on the contrary, they seem to be guarding something......"

"That's right, father, that's what I thought...... That Lemon and Vera ......"

"Wait a minute, you should know...... With Spiegel's power, if they have malicious intentions towards us, they don't need to invite us in...... Of course, if this is a boring 'game' that Geria wants to play with me, then the problem is serious...... Prepare for the worst, anyway...... Once this is a trap, we're going to have an uphill fight...... But no matter what, find Lemon and Vera!"

Upon entering the castle, Will and his father sensed that something was wrong almost at the same time, and had similar concerns, which were more biased towards his younger brother and sister.

Finally, Will, who had finished communicating with his father, nodded slightly, and then told Hattori Chiyo to be vigilant in the Holy Clan language, and informed the others to be ready for battle at any time.

Soon, the more than three hundred elite Saint warriors who had followed Richard and Will for many years all got the news, and they also began to smile, whispering, pretending to be relaxed and communicating with each other in the Holy Clan. In reality, however, they were telling their comrades what they had observed, and communicating with them about their coordination in the event of a fight......

After following Richard and Will for a long time, they also learned to deceive.

"Lord Richard, what are you doing ......"

Spiegel followed the etiquette that the Bloods took very seriously, and asked reservedly.

"Oh, we Holy Clan's own people are not very accustomed to using the continental lingua franca (Latin at the moment), and they are discussing the richness of the Grand Duke of Greia, and what kind of welcome they are expecting...... If they have not seen the world at this moment and have offended the Grand Duke of Grea, please express my deepest apologies to him on my behalf!"

Richard smiled apologetically, then punned and vaguely mentioned his concerns.

"Of course not...... Rest assured, Lord Richard, that you will be greeted in the literal sense of the word. Also, forgive me, I would like to remind you once again that the Archduke of Glia has left Sicily for the time being, and it is our Miss Akasha who is now in charge of the Mokawi. ”

Spiegel smiled back at Richard's apology, then turned his head and led them through the corridors of the castle, which had not yet had time to change to Anne's preferred style, to the lord's hall, where the servants had already set up dozens of long tables for banquets.

"Please wait here for a moment, my honorable hostess, who is conducting today's etiquette lesson with Young Master Li Meng. I'm going to wait for them now, and I ask you to enjoy the refreshments in peace, as the feast will begin later. ”

After saying that, Spiegel nodded gracefully to Richard, then clapped his hands, and many of Mokkawi's servants quietly entered the lord's hall through the side door. They silently walked into the lord's hall with plates full of fruit, pastries, and wine.

The servants did not make a sound even when they placed their knives and forks. And when they had done all this, they left the hall of the lord in silence, without making a sound.

Spiegel smiled at Richard again, and then left, as he had said, waiting for his mistress.

At this moment, Richard and Will are trying to control their hearts that are beating wildly.

Will waved his hand, and let the unknown saint warriors sit separately. Then, he gently patted Hattori's trembling shoulders to calm her down. Then he asked the gloomy face of the ink shadow next to him, and asked the two of them to follow him and his father to the front table and sit down......

For no other reason than the fact that there were so many tables in this hall, only this one was studded with precious decorative gems that were expensive at first glance, and placed four elven wood chairs that exuded a natural atmosphere.

This look is for Richard, Will, as well as Hattori Chiyo and Ink Shadow......

"Father...... They are all ......."

“...... Well, all of them are heroic-level powerhouses and above...... Overmatch...... I didn't expect the hidden strength of the Mokawi clan to be so powerful...... If Gloria had brought them to Rome in person at that time, I am afraid that even if Caesar still became a god, Rome would still be doomed......"

“...... That...... In the event of an accident, can we still escape?"

“...... It's hard to say, you can only take one step...... Look at the ......"

"Got it...... Father. If something happens, you just have to make sure you can get out on your own......"

At this moment, Will, Hattori Chiyo, and Mokage all had determination written all over their faces. Richard is the spiritual leader of the Holy Clans who have left their homeland and settled in the province of Ivy in the north of the Empire. As long as Richard is alive, the awakening of his compatriots will continue to leave for their new homeland. As long as Richard is alive, there is hope for the Holy Family......

Richard sighed, he didn't know what to say.

Look at the lavishly decorated sculptures in the hall of the lord, look at the master paintings hanging from the neatly cut walls, and look at the fruits on the plate that contain faint magical powers......

If I'm not mistaken, these fruits are probably the Timyr fruits from the Silver Moon Forest belonging to the elves, right?

It is rumored that the fruit of Temir has the effect of stimulating the vitality of the eater's body, prolonging life, and even slowly increasing the battle qi, or the upper limit of magic power.

Richard vaguely remembered that Caesar had rewarded himself with a very proud look at the victory banquet held by Caligula and Caesar after celebrating his victory...... A fruit of Temir that was not even half the size in front of him...... He also said that he had collected it with a lot of effort......

Richard was shocked once, but now ......

For the first time, Richard felt hopeless...... Grand Duke Grea...... Or rather, the wealth and strength of the Mokawi clan are far beyond his imagination.

He had traveled to the mainland, and although he had maintained enough humility, he still never imagined that he would meet dozens of strong people at once...... And they're all servants!

Damn, what the hell is going on here!

“...... Anyway, everyone, enjoy these first...... Gourmet bar!"

Richard smiled reluctantly, deciding not to tell the other Holy warriors the meaning of the Celer fruit...... In any case, eating these things, it is beneficial for them.

At Richard's signal, all the saints present, including Will, Mokage, and Hattori Chiyo, began to enjoy the food in front of them—they hadn't eaten a serious meal along the way!

The entrance of the pastry is sweet and glutinous, crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside. Even people like Richard and Will, who don't have a much cold tooth for sweets, are raving about this delicious meal that looks so delicate and tastes so good—even though they don't know what it is......

Will just took a bite, but felt the burning eyes around him, he turned his head, and found a helpless ink shadow, looking at his Hattori Chiyo with pastry crumbs on his mouth, and ...... Two empty plates in front of her......

Well......

Will took a rare realization, and pushed his plate of pastries to Chiyo Hattori......

Well, Chiyo Hattori does seem to have a sweet tooth.

Will shook his head, and instead picked up a Temir fruit.

Forget it, forget it, eat something else.

As soon as I took a sip, the juice splashed everywhere, and a fruity aroma that was so cool that it nourished the soul instantly filled the mouth.

Will's eyes widened as he could already feel the battle qi in his body...... Seems to have grown a little bit?

......

After eating all these delicacies, Will looked at his father Richard with a complicated expression.

I don't know why, even though Spiegel has stated that this is just a pre-dinner snack, there is always a ...... This is what it feels like to have a guillotine meal......
