Chapter 22 The Abnormal Banquet

Not long after returning to the hotel, Ronan waited for the soldiers who had returned from the lord's castle.

Beside him was a middle-aged man in a butler's black suit.

"My lord baron, my lord would like to extend his sincere blessings to you as the new Baron of Cold Wind. To express his welcome to your visit, he also held a banquet waiting for you."

The housekeeper's expression was very sincere, and there was a carriage behind him, waiting to come.

Ronan responded with a smile. After seeing the size of the carriage, he only asked White to go with him.

After closing the wooden door and isolating himself from the outside world, White finally couldn't hold back the emotion in his heart that wanted to vent, his face was full of anger:
"My lord, the lord here does not take you seriously. They only sent a butler here, and even picked you up in the most inferior carriage!"

"Relax and control your emotions."

Ronan didn't care about the bumpy feeling coming from under his body after the wheels turned.

After he came out, in order to avoid trouble, he always used his mother's family name of Orange.

Even though it was also an earl family, the territory was located in the bay in the east of the kingdom, and the main forces were distributed on the sea.

In addition, the Orange family has a blood relationship with the Duke of Furious Lion of the North Lion Principality, so they have always kept a low profile in the kingdom, deliberately shrinking the family's power.

As a result, the Orange family was not well-known in other parts of the kingdom, and ordinary nobles rarely heard of it.

The Viscount Pecks, who was located in the remote area of ​​the northern province, obviously didn't understand, and showed great contempt for his arrival.

Otherwise, at least a member of the family should be sent to greet them, instead of letting the steward bring the low-class carriage, which is the configuration for ordinary knights.

This banquet is also weird, at least it cannot be held for himself, Ronan is sure of it.

The visit letter I submitted told me that the door-to-door time is tomorrow.

As a result, Viscount Pax sent someone to pick him up now.

Just received the notification, the banquet can be held in the next second?
Even the wealthiest nobles in Triumph City don't have this kind of efficiency. Doesn't it really take a little preparation time?

I'm afraid that he has already prepared for the banquet, and when he heard that he was coming, he just picked him up by the way.

After a while, Ronan and the two who arrived at the finish line got out of the carriage and entered the castle under the leadership of the butler.

In Triumph City, in addition to the religious dinners held in the church, the nobles often need to bathe and change clothes before participating in the banquet.

There is a special dress that only corresponds to this banquet. When the banquet is over, it also means that this dress will be discarded.

Attending multiple banquets with the same dress is often seen as disrespectful to the host.

It seems that Black Rock City does not have such a custom, so Ronan was brought straight to the banquet hall.

In the center of the hall are two long tables filled with food, fruit and wine. From time to time, maids come and go to bring delicacies for the guests to take by themselves.

The ground is covered with a gray granite floor, and on the walls on both sides, there are display shelves made of pine wood, on which are supported the furs of various beasts.

The top of the pure white winter wolf fur is connected with a wolf head with bared teeth, which is fierce and ferocious; the soft white fox fur is surrounded by a circle, which is small and exquisite; the gray and white reindeer skin is matched with tall antlers, which is vivid and vivid.

The most striking thing among them is the white bear specimen more than seven meters high standing in the center of the hall.

Even though it is dead, it is only a layer of fur supported by brackets inside, this former overlord of the frozen earth is still shocking.

Men with wine glasses gathered around the white bear in twos and threes, while the delicate ladies walked among all kinds of furs, making crisp laughter.

After Ronan led White into the hall, he didn't attract many people's attention.

Being neglected by the host of the banquet, he was also happy to enjoy the special banquet atmosphere in the border area.

After wandering around, Ronan, who couldn't find the owner here, tried to integrate into the communication circle of the surrounding nobles, but it was a pity that the topics between the two parties were still unable to be contacted.

Ronan spread out his hands, picked a corner wisely, and tasted local delicacies.

Fortunately, in addition to White who followed behind, there was another guest who was not so gregarious with him.

"Ronan Orange, the new Baron of Cold Wind Territory, I am very happy to meet Miss here."

After wiping off the oily smell on his fingers with a white silk scarf, he stretched out his hand towards the girl in front of him.

Looking at the face of the boy who was about her own age, the girl took steps to leave, but after hearing his words, she finally chose to stop where she was.

After a while, she cautiously stretched out her hand and took it.

"Hello."

After the girl shook hands, she immediately took it back and continued leaning against the wall without saying a word.

Looks like you're in a bad mood?
Ronan didn't pay much attention, because the protagonist of the banquet appeared.

The surrounding environment gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes turned to the stairs leading to the second floor, and a person was walking slowly above it.

Ronan knew that this was the lord of Black Rock City, the Viscount Pex.

Just looking at his state when he walked down, he suddenly felt puzzled.

His footsteps were sloppy, his face was blue and lacked rosiness, and his eyes also revealed sleepiness.

Why did he feel that the Viscount was a little--overindulgent?
It wasn't until Ronan saw the woman who came down with him that he could somewhat understand her situation.

The woman looks to be in her early twenties, wearing a black multi-sided dress with a waist, slender waist, plump chest, curly hair hanging down to her waist showing a bright red color, and her delicate and beautiful cheeks reveal a charming charm .

Judging from the fact that she held the arm of Viscount Pecks and had no lack of intimate contact, she was the hostess here.

Just judging from the age, I'm afraid it's not the original match.

If I remember correctly, this viscount is already in his early fifties, his temples have turned gray, yet he still has such interest.

"It's a great honor for all of you to be able to come to this banquet."

Despite his poor mental outlook, Viscount Pecks still greeted the guests with a smile on his face.

"About the theme of this banquet, I believe everyone has already known it in advance. It is for my lovely daughter, Kasanna, the pearl of Black Rock City, to choose a young talent to be her husband."

Finding that the eyes of the people around him were all looking at his position, Ronan knew that it had nothing to do with him.

He looked behind him along the line of sight, and the girl who was leaning against the wall and unable to retreat, hid behind him at some point, lowering her head and not daring to make a sound.

So the one next to me is Cassana, the daughter of Viscount Pecks?

Facing the hostility in the eyes of many men of the right age not far away, Ronan returned a friendly smile.

Speaking of which, according to the laws of the kingdom, women also have the right to inherit.

Ronan recalled, but didn't give up his position.
