Lord Highlander

   Chapter 971 957. Family

  At night, Surdak’s villa restaurant in Wall Village was brightly lit.

  Suldak hosted a banquet for all the young knights in the Badlands Security Squadron.

The ten-meter-long oak dining table in the dining room was filled with exquisite dishes. Suldak sat at the head seat, and Danila, the knight captain of the guard battalion, sat at the position closest to Suldak. The rest of the knights lined up in sequence, five Ten people almost filled the entire long row of tables.

  All the knights kept their voices down as much as possible, everyone wanted to make a good impression in front of Lord Suldak.

   Knight Danila looked a little nervous, he secretly glanced at the restaurant door.

  Natasha and Rita brought up three large plates of barbecue from the kitchen with a maid.

  Until now, there is only one cook and one maid in Suldak's family, so Natasha and Rita are doing a lot of housework.

  In fact, even Suldak contributed to this dinner. He was in charge of the marinated yellow lamb leg, which tasted pretty good after roasting.

When Rita passed by Daniela, she didn't even squint her eyes, and didn't give Daniela any hints. Daniela was so nervous that she couldn't breathe, she couldn't help loosening her collar, and then drank it again. After drinking the golden cider in the glass, he took a peek at Surdak.

   "How's the law and order situation in the barren land recently?"

  Suldak lowered his head and asked Daniela while cutting grilled salamander meat.

  Danila hastily put down the knife in his hand, and replied seriously:

"The desert bandits entered the barren land several times, but they only operated in the south of the Great Rift Valley. They didn't find a village to rob, and we found their whereabouts again. They didn't dare to go too deep, so they left hastily. This happened several times... "

  Suldak nodded slightly, glanced at the knights on the table, and raised his voice and said:

   "After this spring, you graduates have been working in the barren land security squadron for a full year. The internship period here is officially over. According to the practice of the security battalion, you have the right to be transferred to other areas."

Suldak paused, and said to everyone: "If anyone has such an idea, Daniela can count it, and I will personally give you some recommendation letters. You can think about your wish to go to Hailan in advance. Which squadron of the Sa Guard Battalion, I can also say hello to the squadron leaders in advance..."

  Hearing what Suldak said, the knights sitting at the dining table immediately began to discuss in whispers.

   Cavalier Captain Daniela was the first to stand up and said seriously:

"I have been on duty in the Badlands for exactly one year, and now I am very familiar with the northern area of ​​the Badlands, and I have basically adapted to the environment here. I want to stay and continue to guard the Badlands. Compared with other suburban towns, the conditions in all aspects are actually not bad..."

   "So, I want to stay!"

   Cavalier Captain Daniela said.

Suldak smiled, and said casually: "Oh, other people can also talk about it, don't have any psychological pressure, in fact, I hope that more people among you will choose to leave, so that the young people in the village People can have the opportunity to enter the guard camp and become a reserve knight..."

  Seeing that the young knights of the guard battalion on the dining table were all thinking a little bit, Suldak waved his hand again and said:

"Of course, if you want to stay, I also welcome it. This kind of welcome is not verbal, but accompanied by some benefits from the Wall Village. The Wall Village will provide accommodation. You can choose to build it in the village. For a good townhouse, you can also ask the old village chief, Uncle Brett, to approve a piece of residential land, and build a house according to your ideas."

  The young knights of the guard battalion started talking again.

   "Danila, you are their captain, I am glad you are willing to stay..."

  After the dinner, Daniela was left alone by Lord Suldak without any accident, and the other guard battalion knights returned to the security station.

  The matter of Captain Daniela and Rita is already a semi-open secret in Wall Village, so it is not surprising that everyone was left behind.

  Suldak sat in the spacious living room, and Natasha brought sweet black tea.

  Rita followed behind Natasha and brought a plate of exquisite fruits and pastries. Suldak motioned for Daniela to sit down, and asked Natasha and Rita to sit opposite.

  The rattan chair next to the fire was empty. Old Sheila was not in a good mood recently, and she liked to go to bed early.

  In the living room, the crackling sound of burning firewood could be heard. Knight Daniela was sweating profusely. He held the teacup cautiously, and kept silent.

  Suldak whispered something to Natasha, Natasha nodded immediately, then turned and left.

  Seeing Natasha leave the living room, Rita, who was originally calm, seemed a little flustered at this moment.

   Natasha gestured to Rita to go out if she had something to do, and asked her to stay in the living room.

  The living room fell silent, and Suldak was silent for a while before he said to Daniela, "Danila, don't you have anything to tell me about you and Rita?"

   Cavalier Danila stood up suddenly, blushed and said to Suldak in the living room:

"Lord Suldak, I know that my identity is a bit humble, and I am just an ordinary guard battalion knight. I hope to gain your approval through my own efforts. Before I propose to Rita, I can get your approval." agree…"

  Suldak looked up at Daniela in front of him, beckoned him to sit down, and then said:

   "As Rita's older brother, I'm very pleased that Rita chose an outstanding young man like you. Rita suffered a lot when she was at home, but it was this experience that gave her many excellent qualities."

   "Maybe she doesn't understand poetry, dance, and the tedious rules of the ball, and she's not even used to those evening gowns and long skirts."

   "But she is hardworking, brave, kind, optimistic, persevering, and she is a very good girl."

   "I agree, you can propose to Rita anytime."

"But here, as Rita's elder brother and not a noble lord, what I want to tell you is that if you don't love each other someday, I hope you can return Rita to us like a knight." ..."

  Rita's eyes were a little moist, and her nose was red and she said, "Dark..."

   "Tomorrow during the day, remember to come and see old Sheila. When you have time in the future, come here more." Suldak said to Knight Daniela.

  Danila hurriedly stood up again, saluted Surdak as a knight, and replied readily, "Yes!"

   "I still have things to do, so I won't entertain you anymore!"

  Suldak stood up to see off the guests.

   Knight Daniela hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

   At this time, Natasha had already prepared some vegetables, frozen meat, and baked wheat cakes in the cellar of the kitchen, and packed several large boxes in various ways.

  Put the food prepared by Natasha into the magic pocket, and Suldak just hugged Natasha and kissed her forehead, then left in a hurry...
