This knight is too perfect

Chapter 68 Poor acting skills
At the dinner party at Emerald Manor.

As the party began, Lilitha quickly gave up her request to have Rhine and Jet stay with her.

Started dealing with the ladies who kept coming up to him and chatting with him.

These ladies seem enthusiastic, but in fact each of them comes with a purpose.

After all, their husbands also wanted to get in touch with Lilitha at this time.

But due to some secular concepts, even if they came, it would be difficult for them to say a few more words to Lilitha.

In that case, it would be better to let their wives do it.

But facing these noble ladies, Rhine and Jet had no good solution.

After all, at this time, the special status of the ladies meant that even if Rhine and Jet wanted to stop them, it would not be easy.

Fortunately, Lilysa did not resist the active approach of these ladies.

After all, she also planned to use this opportunity to learn more about the situation in the Jade Territory.

This was not only to help Rhine obtain the title, but she also had some arrangements in the Emerald Territory.

The only difference was that Rhine's appearance allowed her to put these arrangements on the agenda in advance.

Rhine and Jet, who were far away from the center of the ladies, simply chose a table next to the banquet and started eating.

As a silver-level white werewolf on the life side, Jet has an unusually large appetite.

Although these ordinary foods cannot provide it with the necessary 'life source'.

But it can still provide a good "appetite".

After all, when he was in the Thorn Territory, it was difficult for Jet to get good food even if he wanted to.

Now that I have the opportunity, I will certainly not miss it.

Rhine on the other side was similar to him.

It’s just that Rhine needs to eat more because he’s still growing.

As a result, an interesting scene appeared.

Although Rhine and Jet were very "restrained" when eating, and their behavior was as "elegant" as possible.

But they eat so fast and so much.

Soon, a small mountain of dining plates appeared next to the two of them.

The nobles around who saw this scene all showed surprised expressions.

What’s going on with these two people? Are they reincarnations of starving ghosts?
Although they were looked at with strange eyes, Rhine and Jet didn't care at all.

After all, the greatest characteristic of the nobles is 'hypocrisy'.

This means that even if they have ideas in their minds, they will not be able to achieve success without sufficient interests to drive them forward.

They will still choose to remain 'restrained'.

Therefore, although the nobles had some opinions about the two people's "clean plate" behavior.

But he didn't say it, and just walked away silently.

But what they didn't know was that their actions at this moment were not only approved by Lilitha, but she even asked them to do so.

Just because there are people who would still choose to stay close to Jet and Rhine in this situation.

Either they are their friends, or... they are their enemies.

As expected, about an hour after the banquet started.

Several girls gathered together and walked towards Rhine.

Among these girls, Knight Darren's fiancée Stella was also there.

"Hello, are you the guardian knight recently chosen by Her Highness Lilitha?"

Rhine raised his head and saw that Stella had pretended to be casual and came to the seat next to Rhine and sat down naturally.

In response to this, Jet on the side gave a meaningful look and acquiesced to the occurrence of this situation.

After all, he had heard from Lilitha before coming here.

Rhine needs this banquet because he must show his worthiness to be valued by the Adrian nobles at this banquet.

This value is multifaceted.

This includes both Lilitha's appreciation of him and Rhine's own potential.

Lilitha had already demonstrated the former, and it had indeed caused some nobles to change their views on Rhine.

But the latter requires a suitable opportunity.

In Lilysa's expectation, the nobles who were blocking Rhine from inheriting the title would definitely not miss this precious opportunity with nearly half of the Adrian nobles present.

As for their actions, it is easy to guess. In all likelihood, they will try to make Rhine lose face in front of everyone.

Although this is a crisis for Rhine, it is also a good opportunity.

Because this is equivalent to building a stage for Rhine. As long as he performs well, he may be able to reverse his current disadvantage in one fell swoop.

Rhine naturally knew this and was prepared for it.

Therefore, after feeling Stella approaching with ill intentions, Rhine put down the plate in his hand and replied politely: "Yes, this strange beautiful lady."

And Rhine's friendly attitude also made Stella and her friends become bolder.

They sat around Rhine and began to chat with him enthusiastically.

In response to this, some of the young nobles nearby showed envious expressions and wished they could replace Rhine.

But before they could chat with Rhine for long, an uninvited guest showed up 'just in time'.

"Stella, what are you doing here?"

Stella, who was talking to Rhine, was suddenly grabbed by the arm by someone.

She turned her head and looked at the knight Darren who 'suddenly' appeared.

She showed the willfulness of a spoiled girl.

"Darren, I'm just your fiancée, not your slave. Do I need your permission for anything I do?"

"Besides, compared to you who looks ordinary and boring, I feel that the Rhine Knight may be able to make me understand the romance of a knight better."

Faced with Stella's merciless "sarcasm", Darren's breathing suddenly became rapid.

He quickly looked at Stella and Rhine beside her with angry eyes.

Seeing this scene, the other girls around Stella immediately felt something was wrong and tactfully got up and left.

Only Stella remained where she was with a "stubborn" look on her face.

“Stella, do you mean that this guy who has no other advantages except his face is more like a knight than me?”

Stella nodded sarcastically and said, "Isn't this question obvious? Respected Knight Darren."

Hearing this, Darren took another deep breath, and then, in the surprised eyes of others, he slammed his knight's sword on the table.

"Boy, do you dare to challenge me in a contest that only knights can fight?"

"If you win, then I will acknowledge my fiancée's words and admit that you are indeed a qualified knight."

"And if you lose, you don't have to pay anything. All you have to do is tell my fiancée in person that you are not as good as me. How about that? Do you dare to accept it?"

Hmm... very poor acting and very deliberate script.

Rhine gave his own evaluation of Darren and Stella's performance in his heart.

However, he had to admit that sometimes the simpler the script, the more 'real' it felt.

After all, there is a jealous knight and a dissolute knight fiancée.

Similar scenes are not uncommon in the Principality of Morton.

Therefore, most of the nobles present who did not know the truth did not think there was anything strange about Darren's behavior.

I just think that he is a person who loses his temper and does such a rash thing in such a critical situation.

As for some people who knew the inside story or guessed it, they tacitly let things develop.

For example, Count Randy and Lilitha who are already looking here.

They all knew the intention of this 'duel', but none of them said anything to stop it.

Because Randy wanted to use this opportunity to see Rhine's potential, and Lilitha...she simply accepted that she was one of the instigators of all this.

Even if Darren didn't appear, she would find a way to make a new 'Darren' appear.

Now the stage has been set up and the actors are in place.

Rhine, who was well prepared, naturally would not refuse.

So facing this challenge that could clearly be rejected.

Rhine, like an arrogant young man, bravely accepted the challenge.

"As you wish, Sir Knight Darren."
