Knight and Wand

Chapter 70: Disguise for the Banquet
A faint smell of the sea drifted in to the window sill on the second floor of the hotel. Azerien carefully considered his words, bent over the table, and wrote a ceremonial document called "Visit Letter" in the name of the son of the Baron of Redingburg.

This is also the etiquette procedure for nobles to visit each other without being invited by the host.

Leon felt that it was a bit similar to the visiting card in the custom of his homeland in his previous life.

However, submitting the visiting letter so close to the wedding celebration is actually rude.

This is because, for large-scale aristocratic events like weddings, if uninvited visitors do not give advance notice and specify the time, person and purpose of their visit, the host family may not be able to prepare for the reception if they do not have sufficient financial resources or venue.

But now, there is no better way to get close to the castle of the Falcon family except this method.

Leon and the other two only hoped that the local nobles would not refuse the gift money and congratulations from the son of a noble from a distant land on this happy day.

After all, with such a rich city and such a rich man's magnificent castle, there should be redundant rooms and stables to provide for unexpected guests and horses.

Trying his best to imitate the Kantardar people's word usage habits, Azerien did not dare to say much in the letter.

It was just necessary to mention that my "father", Baron Dawson, had died in battle, Redingburg had fallen, and that I was traveling around the kingdom with gifts, hoping to get help from the great nobles and seek an opportunity for my family to make a comeback and recover the lost territory in the north.

Thanks to the fact that this continent is still in the feudal era, the various factions within each kingdom are sufficiently dispersed.

According to the captive Mamuel, after the main territory of Dossen in the north was occupied by Orland, the family only had a few manors left in the far southeast.

In this world without telephones and telegraphs, if you want to confirm the identity of a visitor, it would take too long to send letters to each other over such a long distance to verify the identity.

Generally speaking, if one really wants to identify the identity of an unfamiliar noble, one can only look at their dress, speech, travel style, and have the herald identify the family emblem. Of course, if one can produce formal official documents, it will naturally be more convincing.

However, the identity that Azerien forged was just that of a noble heir whose family had lost its territory. He was not a real baron. His family no longer had any territory, and even the title of nobility might be difficult to sustain. It makes sense that he was busy running around and could not produce that kind of document.

After stamping the emblem with the signet ring and sealing the written visiting envelope, Lion and Lohak dressed Azerien in Baron Doson's armor and battle robes.

Leon was somewhat glad that he had been busy with territory affairs before and had not had time to ask Brian the blacksmith to modify the unsightly snake-carved helmet decoration of Doson.

Now that Azerien was fully equipped and wearing the distinctive noble sword, he looked like a baron's son who lost his father at a young age and was hesitant to take revenge.
Ok?
Leon touched his head, feeling a little sorry for his brother.

Even if it wasn't a disguise, this description completely fits Azerien's true identity and experience.

Thinking of this, he felt guilty.

In order to help Lohak, Azerien did not express any opinion on this disguised identity, which was like exposing his own scars.
After exchanging their speeches and deciding on the details of Azerien's disguise, Leon and Lohak acted as his servants, and the three of them mounted their horses and headed for the Falcon family's castle on the cliff.

All levels were smooth.

Azerien's acting skills seem to have become even better since his experience in disguise in Selva.

Moreover, his identity was different this time. His aristocratic temperament and fluent manners were perfect. Naturally, he would not arouse any suspicion from the guards guarding the pass.

Besides, there have been too many nobles going to the castle to attend wedding banquets recently.

A small team of only three people like this would not attract much attention.

Riding on the avenue leading to the castle, Azerien naturally greeted the nobles coming and going, completely integrating into his identity.

Leon also bowed his head obediently and saluted to all kinds of "masters".

He was fine, but it was hard for Lohak, who was full of hatred, to find his sister. He had to suppress his hatred and bow to these enemy nobles. He followed the visiting noble team into the outer area of ​​the castle.

In the tower at the entrance, they informed the knight of the Falcon family of their identities and handed over a visiting letter. Then the three of them returned home and waited patiently for a reply in the inn.

The visiting letter stated their current address in Western Port. If the person in charge of the castle accepted the visit from "Son of Dorson", he would naturally send servants to inform them.

After a somewhat agonizing wait, Leon took his friends to a high-end tailor shop in the city to choose dresses.

The play had to be performed in full, and even if they could not attend the banquet, they would need appropriate aristocratic attire to interact with the Falcon family.

But there was no time to customize the clothes, so they just picked clothes that were roughly suitable for their body sizes and bought them.

Fortunately, Leon and Lohak only had to act as servants, and the only one who really had to be scrutinized by the nobles was Azerien.

The handsome son of a nobleman is actually a walking clothes rack after he has dressed up.

Now wearing a corseted robe with neat fabric and gorgeous patterns, the young man's demeanor is impeccable.

Leon walked around the hotel, looking at his fair-skinned brother and nodded frequently.

In his previous life, if he just scrolled through the video sites, Azerien could earn enough traffic without even using a filter.

After a short and anxious wait, the three finally felt relieved when the servants of the Falcon family came the next day to invite them to a banquet.

Following the servant sent into the castle again, after handing over a painful wedding gift to Leon, they settled down in the inner castle building for entertaining guests.

But before he could catch his breath, Azerien was received by the owner of the castle.

Naturally, Leon and Lohak were not qualified to follow, so they could only diligently act as servants and stay in the room, silently praying that their companions would be able to pass through without any problems.

When Azerien returned safely with his usual look on his face, both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I don’t know what kind of conversation he had, but in the end he didn’t reveal any flaws in his conversation with the local earl.

Lohak gave Azerien a bear hug and patted him on the back.

I can't express my gratitude in words.

His partner risked his life for his own good, and if there was any mistake, he would be torn to pieces without any reward.

However, even if you survive the first stage of sneaking into the castle, it does not mean that you can look for people here next.

Before they came in, the servants had already informed them of the areas of activity they were allowed to move around in.

The area that can be moved around at the moment is not large. Azerien is fine. As long as he doesn't touch some restricted areas, he can walk around.

But now Leon and Lohark, who acted as his servants, could not run around without following him closely.

Unlike the followers of a great noble, the two of them now do not have much freedom to move around without their "master".
