Chapter 679 Ian
"Baron Arthur, I'm going to prepare first. I'll see you at the reception later. I've arranged for Butler Kendall to serve you!" Charlie said apologetically after walking out of the main castle through the side door again.
"Today is a good day for you, go get ready!" David said with a smile and waved.
It was still the familiar butler Kendall, who brought David and Mark Knight to the square. At this moment, there were more dance performances in the square, and more than a dozen beautiful young women were dancing to show their bodies.
There were also a lot of guests sitting in the veil tent. Some of them were talking and laughing, while others were watching the performance while drinking red wine.
Butler Kendall took David to an empty veil tent and arranged for David to sit down.
"Baron Arthur, I'm right next to you, please tell me anything you have to do!" Butler Kendall bowed and said to David, then stood outside the veil tent.
The behavior of Kendall's steward obviously surprised the guests who came here. You must know that none of the people who can come here to participate in the reception are ordinary people, but that's it, no one has the special treatment of David.
However, David's identity is well known. The dresses worn for such receptions will have corresponding heraldic marks. Just look at the shadow leopard coat of arms on the corners of David's dress. The nobles here know who he belongs to. family.
"A lucky guy!" Gaines knight said softly, glancing at David's side.
They are a group of young men and women who came to see the world with the elders of the family. They are not qualified to attend such a reception alone, so I feel very uncomfortable that David has a single veil tent and has a special person to serve him.
"It's just a baron!" Knight Licock said disdainfully.
Although Knight Licock himself is only a noble knight, as the heir of the family, he naturally despises David's baron title.
"You two, what about your noble etiquette? It's rude to talk like this behind your back!" Countess Alma reminded softly.
In fact, after Knight Licock said these words, the faces of Knights other than Gaines were not very good-looking.
Among this group of young men and women, only the Gaines Knight and the Licock Knight are likely to inherit the family title, and the rest have the lowest rank of lords.
Among the powerful noble families, under certain conditions, generally only the descendants who have the right of inheritance will not have titles.
Only a semi-noble noble knight will be given the title.
The rest of the descendants who have no right of inheritance will help them obtain the lowest titles such as lords, so that when they leave the family, they can also have aristocratic status to spend their lives.
If the Licock knight looked down on the baronship, he would hurt the lords and duchesses here.
"Why don't we get to know each other and make a friend!" Countess Alicia suggested.
"You go, I don't want to know him!" Knight Licock shook his head and said.
"I'll go with you!" Lady Alma stood up and responded.
The two duchess looked at the others again, and found that they had no intention of leaving.
At this moment, Ian walked into the veil tent, which made the two duchess sit down again.
"Hello, Baron Arthur, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Ian, the second son of Lord Gould of the White Dragon bloodline of the Main family!" Ian bowed and saluted David.
"Hello!" David stood up and gave a salute.
David didn't understand why this Ian came to him, but he knew who this Ian was, so he had a little bit of vigilance in his heart.
"Please take a seat!" Ian sat on the other side of the leisure table and gave David a salute.
Ian's behavior can only be said that he despises David very much. Even if this veil tent belongs to his family, but as a veil tent arranged for David, then during the time David uses, here The owner should be David.
David didn't care about Ian's words, he didn't want to have any connection with Ian, and he didn't care about Ian's behavior.
"I heard that Qinya Manor belongs to you now, I wonder if you are willing to sell it?" Ian waved and asked the servant to bring a drink and took a sip.
Although the people around Ian have been cleaned up, he has already bought a lot of servants in the castle. These servants can't do anything for him, but it is not a problem to inquire about some news.
This time he got word that his father, Lord Gould, was preparing to serve the rest of the Lords and the Templars with a heart-warming lotus soup.
With the identity of Lord Gould, it is impossible to be like Charlie. When entertaining people, taking out the heart-warming lotus seed soup from the space ring is naturally more stylish.
So the heart-warming lotus seed soup was handed over to Butler Hayes, and the servants would serve it, and the servants knew the news.
To be honest, the servants Ian bought have been afraid for a long time. Since they knew that all the people around Ian were killed, these servants knew that it was too hot to take Ian's money, but it was too late to go back.
The servants can only tell Ian some unimportant news, such as the heart-warming lotus seed soup, which the servants consider unimportant.
But when Ian got the news, he immediately took it seriously.
Of course, it is not easy to be able to bring food to a small party. Considering that Baron Arthur just met Lord Gould, it is not difficult to imagine where these heart-warming lotus seed soups come from.
Ian doesn't think there is anything special about the cooking of Warm Heart Lotus Seed Soup. He thinks that there is some mutation in Warm Heart Lotus, which improves the quality of Warm Heart Lotus Seeds.
As for cooking, the family has a 'cooking master', and it is not easy to cook.
Therefore, he came to David, wanting to buy back Qinya Manor and grasp the source of the warm heart lotus, so that he can add points to his father, Lord Gould.
Ian always thought that Lord Gould liked him very much, and even Charlie was not as good as he was in Lord Gould's heart.
This can be known from the last time he disclosed the information of Charlie's departure from home and the specific location of Charlie to the followers of the Heretic God, and he was not investigated by Lord Gould afterwards.
Most importantly, until now Lord Gould has not helped him to obtain the title of lord, and he is still a noble knight, which all shows that Lord Gould treats him as an heir.
Ian wanted Lord Gould to see that Charlie gave Qinya Manor away, so that the source of Warm Heart Lotus would not be controlled by the family, but he could take back Qin Ya Manor and regain control of the source of Warm Heart Lotus.
"I like Qinya Manor very much, and I don't want to sell it!" David didn't expect Ian to make such a request, he shook his head and refused.
"Don't you want to listen to my offer? Five manors of the same size as Qinya Manor, and I can pay you another million gold coins!" Seeing David's firm attitude, Ian gritted his teeth and said the maximum amount he can pay.
From this it can be seen that Ian is not suitable for negotiation, and it is true.
This Ian has not received a real noble education for a long time. Before the age of eleven, he was still by his mother's side. After his mother died, he was taken back by Lord Gould to receive the noble education of the Main family.
Although after years of aristocratic education, some basics have been wrong and it is difficult to correct.
Ian's self-righteous little calculations, his self-righteous intrigues, are extremely ridiculous in the eyes of many people in the Maine family, and he is proud of his wit.
"I said I don't want to sell!" David said in a deep voice.
"Baron Arthur, this is the Main family. Have you considered the consequences of rejecting my words here?" Ian said gloomily.
If David hadn't seen Lord Gould and didn't know about Ian from Charlie, he might have been frightened by Ian, but he knew that Ian was just an illegitimate child and still wanted to murder the Maine family. heirs.
Although David didn't know why Lord Gould didn't hold Ian accountable, when he wanted to come here, Ian's right to speak in the Main family was extremely limited.
"Ian Knight, if you expel me on behalf of the Main family, then I will leave immediately!" David said in a deep voice.
Lord Gould, who was preparing to entertain old friends on the main castle floor, frowned. The entire castle was enveloped in the power of his blood. When Ian went to find David, he kept a trace of attention.
I didn't expect that Ian would threaten David, which made Lord Gould extremely angry, and he did not hide this anger.
For him, anything that can trigger a change in his mood needs to be expressed in order to make him more emotional.
"Gould, what happened?" Lord Ferdinand asked happily when he saw Lord Gould getting angry.
Maybe they still use honorifics between them outside, but they are very casual when it comes to such private gatherings.
This small circle of them can be regarded as a small alliance among the top nobles. In the huge world of the gods, even the top nobles need to survive in a group in order to protect the family and power.
"That kid Ian is doing something stupid again!" Lord Gould glared at Lord Ferdinand angrily and replied.
For Lord Ferdinand's gloating behavior, he has long been accustomed to it, which is just a joke between old friends.
"You are really good-natured, I would have slapped to death with such a son!" Lord Ferdinand shook his head and said.
They all know what Ian did. The heir to the Maine family was almost killed. How could they not investigate such a big thing, and Lord Gould did not keep it a secret, what Ian did in the room. The five know it.
"It's not that you don't know that Gould uses family affection to refine his relationship. He can't start with his own son!" Lord Emir said with a smile.
"Gould, you can't always be used to Ian like this. Last time I almost killed Charlie, and you may do something in the future!" Lord Merlin did not tease, but persuaded in a deep voice.
Lord Merlin is the head of the Gough family and the father of Charlie's fiancee, Dame Denise, so his attitude on this matter is clear.
If it wasn't for Lord Gould, Lord Merlin would have found someone to kill Ian.
"Let's not talk about that, let's taste the dessert I specially prepared for you!" Lord Gould clapped his hands and said.
Several servants came in with small bowls and carefully placed them in front of the five.
"Get rid of the third servant!" Lord Gould glanced at the servants, and then said to Butler Hayes outside the door.
Ian's small movements are many, and there is a result of Lord Gould's connivance here, which also makes many servants unable to see the actual situation.
Lord Gould thought that in the last cleanup, killing more than a dozen people would make these people pay more attention, but he did not expect that someone was still contacting Ian to pass on information.
In the veiled tent in the square, Ian stared at David. As soon as killing intent rose in his heart, he felt that he was shrouded in even more terrifying killing intent. As long as he dared to do anything, he would be killed. kill.
It came from the Mark Knight standing behind David. Anyone who dared to reveal murderous intentions to David was the enemy of Mark Knight. If it wasn't for David's failure to express it, Mark Knight would have shot at this moment.
"Go away!" Ian was about to continue to say something, only to hear a familiar and majestic voice in his ears, it was the angry voice of his father, Lord Gould.
This sound resounded in his ears like thunder, making his face pale.
Ian's cleverness immediately understood that David must be very important in Lord Gould's heart, and his behavior aroused the anger of Lord Gould.
He stood up, turned around and left without leaving a word.
On the other side, a group of young men and women are watching this good show, they only see a conflict between Ian and David, and they are shocked by David.
They couldn't hear Lord Gould's voice, and only Ian could really hear it.
David was also a little strange. Ian seemed to be aggressive when he came, and he left in the middle of how to say it.
Upstairs in the main castle, Lord Gould scolded Ian away, and then signaled to the four old friends to use the heart-warming lotus seed soup.
"Heart-warming lotus seed soup, Gould, you are being lazy. This is produced in your industry. My family has a share every quarter. I eat it often!" Lord Ferdinand glanced at the small bowl and said.
More than half of the warm heart lotus production is supplied to some noble families, and those present here have a major share.
In a normal gathering like this, there must be some hospitality items that you can take out, otherwise you will be laughed at in this small circle.
"Old Lion, this heart-warming lotus seed soup is a little different!" Before Lord Gould could speak, Lord Emile pointed out with a smile.
Lord Merlin and Lord Luke both nodded, and they smelled the warm lotus seed soup, which was definitely different from the warm lotus seed soup they drank before.
"What's the difference, isn't it all heart-warming lotus seed soup?" Lord Ferdinand smelled the difference after several reminders, but he still said stubbornly.
Lord Ferdinand put the heart-warming lotus seed soup on the table, and then in a white light, the warm-heart lotus seed soup disappeared on the table. Surprise flashed in Lord Ferdinand's eyes. He did not hesitate and immediately closed his eyes. , carefully sense the feeling in the mouth.
