TOV36
Three days passed in a flash.
The Sudor family dinner arrived as scheduled.
As night fell, the castle in the center of the Ice Rock City was full of traffic, and a large number of nobles who came to the banquet gathered.
I have to say that the timing chosen by Cynthia Sudor was extremely clever.
Originally, with the influence of the Sudor family, it was impossible to invite such a large number of nobles to the banquet.
But this time coincided with the troll army withdrawing from the north, and the lost castles were easily taken back one by one. Although a little self-deception, it was barely a victory.
Moreover, the only two Marquis in the North also happened to be in Ice Rock City.
Under such circumstances, unless the Duke of St. Hilde personally held a banquet in Winter City, otherwise, Ice Rock City tonight is destined to become the focus of the North.
The dinner started at six o'clock and Colin arrived at half-past five.
He came alone.
This is a high-standard aristocratic banquet, and it is naturally impossible to allow guests to bring in civilian attendants.
The knight Raymond was barely qualified to participate, but he has been sent back to Greycastle by Colin to report.
Colin felt that he was now a person who could establish a relationship with the two heirs of the St. Hilde family, presumably Earl Uman would not dare to be too presumptuous.
Therefore, there is no need to flinch and hide in the dark.
So he sent Raymond back to make a report, lest the family thought he was dead and caused trouble.
"Sorry sir, please show me the invitation letter."
When the guard at the gate of the castle saw Colin, his face suddenly became very excited, and he stopped him and asked.
Colin took out the invitation letter and handed it to the guard.
The guard hurriedly took it, and then carefully verified it. After confirming that it was correct, he had to let it go: "Sorry, Lord Colin, I have troubled you. Welcome to the dinner party! Come in!"
Colin then entered the castle.
Along the way, after seeing him, everyone looked at him in surprise, and even many people secretly pointed and whispered about what he was wearing.
Colin didn't care about these gazes and continued to walk towards the banquet hall with his head held high.
"Master knight, please wait a minute!"
Unfortunately, he was stopped by the butler of the Sudor family at the entrance of the hall.
The housekeeper recognized the emblem of the Angele family at a glance, and said with a smile: "You are the Knight Colin, aren't you?"
"Yes." Colin folded his arms around his chest, thinking about whether to smash the fake smile on the butler's face with a punch.
I don’t know if he has heard of Colin’s reputation, or feel the danger, the butler stepped back a bit and said: "Sorry, Knight Colin, you can’t come to this banquet wearing armor."
Yes, Colin couldn't find the dress, so he just came here wearing the armor he just bought.
It stands to reason that this is indeed quite rude.
However, Colin was well prepared.
I saw him calmly asking: "Then what should I wear?"
"Of course you should wear a dress." The butler's eyes seemed to be looking at a fool.
He has even begun to gesture with his eyes to the guard next to him, preparing to drive the disrespectful knight out of the castle.
"The dress?" Colin sneered, and suddenly slammed his fist heavily on his breastplate, and said loudly, "The Northern Territory has just been humiliated, and the troll army has just evacuated, and it has returned unscathed!
All of you actually still have the mind to dress up here, singing and dancing?
Our counterattack?
What about our revenge?
What about our sacrifices?
Why don't we do anything?
I am just a little knight, and I am not qualified to question the decisions of adults!
But!
I feel worthless for my father, Baron Angele, who died in the battle!
As his only son, I swear here that until I will not avenge him, and I will never remove my armor! "
The audience is silent!
Colin said awe-inspiring words as if he had pressed the pause button on the scene.
Everyone looked at the weird man in armor who came to the banquet in amazement.
Especially the old butler of the Sudor family.
Up to this moment, his brain is still buzzing.
I don't know if he was shocked by Colin's loud voice or was shocked by what he said.
At this time, he also knew that he couldn't drive the rude knight out of the castle according to the original plan.
Colin is indeed rude, but he is righteous!
Strictly speaking, the banquet this time was indeed a little whitewashing.
But this is because the previous fiasco came too suddenly, and the troll's retreat was too unexpected.
As a result, the lord and nobles who easily regained their lost ground urgently needed an opportunity to conceal their previous failures and proclaim their current "victory."
Therefore, this "victory" banquet appeared under the impetus of all parties.
But they didn't expect that someone actually stood up and severely shredded this false mask of "victory" and smashed it heavily on the faces of the nobles.
Among the crowd, Cynthia Sudor was also there.
She wanted to see with her own eyes the ugliness of this nasty guy being driven out of the castle, but she didn't expect that she would have seen this scene.
Cynthia almost crushed her silver teeth, but at the same time, a trace of regret appeared in her heart.
This banquet was originally an excellent opportunity for the Sudor family to become famous, but now it seems to be a joke.
It's all because of one person.
A person who was originally insignificant.
Someone she wanted to humiliate by tricks.
Maybe it was redundant...
Colin didn't know that Cynthia, the mad woman, was also watching him, still looking like awe-inspiring righteousness.
He ignored the gaze from the surroundings and strode forward like no one else.
"Boom!"
The old butler who was still in a daze was staggered by Colin.
But he dared not stop it anymore.
He watched as Colin wore that pure white armor and walked into the banquet hall.
Many nobles attending the meeting have already gathered in the hall. Seeing Colin's figure walking into the hall, everyone's faces were different, whispering and talking.
Obviously, Colin's loud voice just now passed those "brilliant words" into the banquet hall.
Therefore, he naturally became the temporary focus of the banquet.
However, no one came forward to greet him.
Obviously, Colin was isolated.
But he didn't care.
Even his heart is full of pleasure.
After all, this was a banquet planned by the crazy woman. She wanted to make a name for the Sudor family, but now it seems to have been completely destroyed by Colin's remarks.
There is still a little time before the banquet officially begins.
Therefore, the participating nobles are still arriving one after another.
The newcomers obviously felt that the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little wrong, and only after asking others did they know that it was a good thing Colin did.
As a result, more and more eyes were cast on Colin.
Colin also felt a little bored, and simply closed his eyes.
With the passage of time, the status of the incoming people has also become higher and higher.
Until Marquis Charles appeared at the door of the hall.
Then, the banquet suddenly became quiet again.
This is not because of how high the prestige of Marquis Charles is among the nobles. On the contrary, due to a series of previous defeats, his reputation among the nobles of the North is now very unbearable.
But his appearance still silenced the audience.
Because he also wore armor!
