This knight is too perfect

Chapter 66 Dinner Party
At night, Count Randy's Emerald Manor was brightly lit and crowded with people.

This dinner was hosted by the Emerald Earl to welcome Lilitha.

It has become the most grand banquet in the entire Adrian in recent times, or even in recent years.

Because not only Adrian and all the nobles from the surrounding areas gathered here, but these people were also looking forward to the arrival of Lilitha, the distinguished guest of the banquet.

After all, the royal family of Akkad would not easily appear in Morton.

Adrian's nobles rarely had the opportunity to have such close contact with the Akkadian royal family.

Although the relationship between the two countries has always been delicate, now because of the matter of His Majesty Morton, there is a sense of subtle confrontation between the two countries.

But this was nothing to the Adrian nobles, who were far away from the political center of Morton and always maintained good trade with Akkad.

After all, hatred is not as important as shiny gold coins.
At the gate of Emerald Manor, Earl Randy's second son Ian stood at the door in person, welcoming the nobles who came to attend one after another.

"Good evening, Viscount Marcus."

"Good evening, Master Ian."

Ian maintained his polite smile as he looked at Marcus' only son, Enrico, who had a round belly and a wealthy look on his face.

"Master Enrico, I heard that you caused a big scene at my sister Haley's Maple Leaf House this morning?"

Hearing this, Enrico immediately scratched his cheek in embarrassment and said, "Misunderstanding, Master Ian, it's all a misunderstanding. After all, if I had known that it was Miss Haley's shop, I would not have urged Miss Haley even if I just went to the roadside to buy a dress."

Hearing this, Ian burst into laughter, patted him on the shoulder and said in a very 'easy-going' way: "Don't worry, Master Enrico. After all, ignorance is not a crime. I don't think my sister Haley will bear a grudge against you for this."

After saying that, Ian immediately handed a Chamber of Commerce business card to Viscount Marcus.

"Viscount Marcus, this is the address of my Chamber of Commerce. If you are free, you can come to my Chamber of Commerce. After all, I have a good relationship with the people in the security team. I think as long as I come forward, they will not make things too difficult for me."

Viscount Marcus heard the deep meaning behind Ian's words, and immediately took the business card and said, "Okay, Master Ian, I will definitely visit your Chamber of Commerce when I am free."

"Then I will be waiting for your visit, Viscount."

Viscount Marcus responded: "It is my honor as well."

After saying that, Viscount Marcus brought his son into the manor.

Ian told similar stories to every noble who came to the manor.

There is no doubt that he was taking advantage of this rare opportunity to make as many friends as possible with the nobles in the Emerald Territory.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the aging Earl Randy can no longer stay in that position for much longer.

He needs to give himself a position and choose a suitable successor.

And the successor will obviously be chosen from between his two sons, Ian and Remi.

Although compared to Remi, who once studied at the 'Royal Knight Academy' and has 'Bronze Level' strength.

Ian is just a Beyonder of the Black Iron Stage.

But extraordinary strength has never been the only criterion for measuring succession to a title.

After all, compared with extraordinary strength, the nobles actually value the political wisdom and means of the heirs more.

In this respect, Ian is far superior to his older brother Remi.

In addition to being proficient in politics and communication.

Compared to Remi, Ian also has a very handsome and outstanding appearance.

Such innate conditions, coupled with his carefully created "gentlemanly temperament" and specially designed clothing.

As a result, Ian is now very popular not only in Adrian, but also in the circle of noble ladies and ladies in the entire Emerald Territory. He is an excellent example of a "noble young master" in the eyes of countless people.

And these comments also made him appear extremely confident about himself tonight.

He was so confident that he sincerely believed that if he was given a chance, he would be successful.

Then he will definitely be able to successfully capture the heart of Her Highness Lilitha.

And if he could really do this, he would be able to inherit the title of Earl Landy with certainty.

It is even possible to go a step further and use Lilith's identity and power to allow him to reach heights that his father, Count Randy, has never achieved in his life.

Therefore, Ian seemed to be receiving every noble who came seriously.

But in fact, his attention has always been outside the manor.

He waited for the carriage with the Silver Moon Badge to appear. His wait lasted until about 7:30 in the evening.

As Ian saw the carriage in the distance, shining with silver light under the moonlight, appearing on the cobblestone road outside the manor.

Ian's eyes lit up instantly and his breathing became a little rapid.

However, this excitement did not last long, and Ian quickly adjusted his mentality.

He carefully adjusted his collar and tried his best to put on a smile that he thought best demonstrated his gentlemanly charm.

Ian immediately walked to the steps leading to the gate of the mansion in his best manner and took the initiative to greet the distinguished guest from Akkad.

The carriage with the 'Silver Moon Badge' stopped in front of the steps of the manor house.

The originally noisy banquet manor suddenly became quiet.

After all, everyone who will attend the banquet tonight knows very well what the carriage means and who the person sitting in the carriage is.

Looking at the carriage parked in front of him, Ian took a deep breath and immediately walked forward with a smile.

"Good evening, Your Highness Lilitha."

Ian bent down and stretched out his hand naturally.

It was obvious that he was preparing to put his hand on it when Lilitha got off the carriage.

It's just that Ian obviously overestimated his own charm.

As the door of the carriage was opened by Jet, the first person to walk out of the carriage was not Lilitha, but Rhine in a blue dress.

After Rhine got off the carriage, he just glanced at Ian who was standing next to the carriage, and then waited next to the carriage.

Soon, Lilitha, wearing a red backless dress, gracefully stepped down from the carriage and naturally put her hand on Rhine's hand.

"Good evening, Master Ian."

Lilitha's move immediately made Ian look like a clown.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Ian's expression as he lowered his head suddenly became extremely ugly.

He could even vaguely hear the "laughter" coming from the banquet in the back, as if everyone was laughing at his "ridiculousness" at the moment.

But Ian is indeed a scheming person.

Although at this moment he was so angry that he wanted to tear to pieces everyone who saw this scene.

But he quickly adjusted himself and stood up gracefully.

He looked at Rhine who was holding Lilitha's arm, and praised him against his will: "This should be the guardian knight chosen by Princess Lilitha after she came to Morton, Mr. Rhine, right?"

"I was wondering before why Mr. Rhine is so young, Your Highness, you value him so much and choose him as your guardian knight."

"But after meeting Mr. Rhine in person, all my questions were answered."

"Because only a shining star like Mr. Rhine can protect a bright silver moon like Her Highness Lilitha."

Rhine listened to Ian's hypocritical lies and could not help but sigh at the hypocrisy of the nobles again.

Although he wanted to cut him into pieces in his heart, there was no anger on Ian's face. Instead, he praised himself sincerely.

If Rhine had not been able to hear the strong "hatred" and "murderous intent" in Ian's heart towards him.

He might actually believe Ian's lies.

Before Rhine could respond, Lilitha at the side took the initiative to speak, which was rare.

"Thank you, Master Ian, for your praise of Rhine. After all, I sincerely believe that meeting an excellent knight like Mr. Rhine here is the most delightful treasure I have discovered during my time in Morton."

Hearing this, the smile on Ian's face froze, while Rhine on the side shyly turned his head to look at Jet beside him in embarrassment.

Ian was because he seemed to be praising Rhine, but in fact he was secretly flattering her.

But Lilitha simply took this opportunity to show everyone how much she values ​​Rhine, which surprised Ian.

Rhine was blushing because Lilitha's compliments were all true...

And he had to admit that Lilisa's words were a bit too much for him.

After all, the truth can really touch people's hearts more than routine.
