Chapter 26 Baron Barton

At night, the black curtain covered the sky, but it could not cover the Pompeii Castle.

Outside the castle, there were many carriages parked, and various family emblems were hung on the carriages, proving that the owners of these carriages were all well-known and noble people with aristocratic blood.

In addition to the carriages, there were also their own guards.

The castle was brightly lit, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the castle. The male and female servants of the Pompeii family came out in full force, busy.

And the guests were all gathered in the hall.

The hall was one and a half stories high and round. There was a tall chandelier hanging above, and the snow-white candles on the chandelier were burning. The guests were all gathered in front of the door of the hall on one side, and on the other side, a famous pianist specially hired by the Pompeii family was playing the piano.

In the elegant piano sound, the guests were all listening, even those who were not interested in music were pretending to listen to music.

At this time, making a sound would be considered very impolite.

The male and female servants holding plates with wine or biscuits on them were also careful not to make any noise.

Soon the piano music ended, and the pianist stood up and saluted the guests, who clapped their hands and applauded.

Then, the orchestra performed. The atmosphere was much more relaxed at this time, and the guests were divided into twos and threes, whispering to each other.

It can be divided into four circles.

The contemporary noble knights represented by Old Sol. The ladies represented by Mrs. Sophie, and the girls represented by the girls, these girls are the protagonists of this banquet. The Pompeii family intends to select the excellent Mrs. Luther from these girls.

The rest are the noble boys.

Although this is a banquet for blind dates, communication between nobles is also necessary.

Luther, the future head of the Pompeii family, also needs connections. And every banquet is a social interaction for the nobles, which is precious.

In the past, Luther would often follow Old Sol to attend such banquets.

Among the young people present, there were many friends that Luther knew before.

Old Sol held a glass of red wine in one hand while chatting with the old friends. In fact, they were not all old friends. In addition to the five middle-aged men, there was also a young man standing next to Old Sol.

This young man was very handsome and his skin was very pale, as if he had not seen the sun for many years. It is said that in the northern capital, it is very popular for nobles to have such skin color.

Obviously, this young man is a noble son of a very noble status.

And in fact, this is also the case, because the one in front of him is the third son of Baron Baron, Lucy Baron.

And Baron Baron is the lord of the Pompeii family. Pompeii has served Baron Baron for generations. Not only the Pompeii family, but also the five people who are about the same age as Old Sol are all lords of other knight territories and belong to Baron Baron.

Lucy Barton

This time, Old Sol also invited Baron Barton to attend the banquet, but Baron Barton did not come because of something, so he sent the lord's third son to attend.

Although he was only the third son, Old Sol and others did not dare to neglect him, and they took Lucy and Barton as their main guests. When they talked, they all took good care of Lucy and Barton.

However, Lucy and Barton seemed to be a noble son who was not good at speaking. He just smiled slightly most of the time and did not interrupt casually.

"I heard that the new party has become more and more rampant in the capital recently, and there have even been incidents of knights of the new party attacking the nobles of the court. Not to mention other places in the kingdom. These rebels are really everywhere."

A knight lord said.

This knight lord has a very handsome face, but a hooked nose, which destroys the beauty of his face and adds a bit of hostility to him.

However, those who are familiar with this knight lord know that this lord is a good-tempered old man.

This is called Lipton, Soren.

Baron Barton is a baron who owns a city, as well as many villages and towns. The military strength and fiefdoms are quite large.

There are as many as 20 to 30 knight lords who are loyal to Baron Barton. The Pompey family is just one of them, and the five noble knight lords present are knight lord families that are friendly with the Pompey family.

They can be said to be natural allies.

This Lipton, Soren, is especially close to the Pompey family because his wife is the sister of old Soer and the aunt of Luther.

"Yes, these rebels are promoting the equality of all people, and the nobles should not be allowed to hold such great power. They call on civilian knights to unite to overthrow the Kingdom of Prussia. They should all be hanged."

A knight lord said murderously.

"The rebels who are hateful to you are precious to me. Although there are traces of rebel activities everywhere in the kingdom, we are too remote. There are no traces of rebel activities, which is a pity. It would be great if we could kill a few rebels and show off our martial arts. The glory of knights needs countless bones to set off."

A knight lord with a distorted outlook said at this time.

However, this outlook is the mainstream among the current knight lords. Not only this knight lord, but also the other knight lords, including the good old Lipton and Soran, nodded.

The new party.

This damn civilian knights who oppose the nobles should all be hanged.

But the topic of discussion was soon turned around, because they all realized that today's banquet was to select the next generation of wives of the future Pompeii family.

It seems that he shouldn't be so murderous.

"Saul, there are some new faces at the banquet today. Apart from us, who else did you invite today?"

Lipton, Sauron looked around the hall and found many strange faces, so he couldn't help but ask.

There are a total of six knight lords, all close allies of each other. These families have been married a long time ago, and they are more or less related to each other by blood.

But it doesn't matter. In their opinion, the purer the blood of the nobles, the better. This kind of marriage should continue to exist. Therefore, the girls present included the daughters, nieces, and other identities of the other five knight lords.

Old Sol's very rigid face in front of his children all year round softened a lot now. He shrugged in a rare way and said: "You know, there are too many descendants of nobles who have no land in the world, and we have It is very popular among the nobles in the territory. Many noble girls dreamed of becoming the hostess of Pompeii, so after I spread the news, many people requested to participate, and I selected some of these girls. Daughters, some are officials’ daughters, some are businessmen’s daughters.”

Descendants of nobles are still nobles, but the territory of a noble is only so large, and only one person can inherit the territory. Usually nobles have many children.

These children are all descendants of nobles.

Therefore, the current Kingdom of Prussia has a lot of descendants of nobles.

The Pompeii family, which owned territory, was still very popular even though it was just a family of knights.

Old Sol then said proudly: "My son is very good. So the more girls attending this banquet, the better. Even if Luther can only have one wife, he might as well have more lovers. He can give birth to some Although an illegitimate child cannot inherit Pompeii’s surname, he can still continue Pompeii’s bloodline.”

Old Saul turned into an old and crooked gangster.

The other lord knights also showed the same expression, which was a bit vulgar.

Nobles, what real nobleman can live without several mistresses and illegitimate children?
