Chapter 495: Pride and Prejudice
The people in the car didn't get out, which undoubtedly slapped Abel in the face of the public. The young adjutant Jun's face was flushed, and his body trembled slightly with anger. He raised his horsewhip and pointed, "I am Abel, the commander-in-chief of the Earl's direct army, Shen Hai Lin Ji. If you don't get out of the carriage, I will regard it as a provocation. This is a great disrespect to the Earl!"
The person in the car laughed: "You are not too stupid, you know how to bring the earl out to suppress me. It's a pity that you are still an idiot, as an adjutant, that is, a guy who doesn't even have a title, dares to speak rudely to me. I rushed If you lost the Deep Sea Linji, you will naturally have to apologize to the Earl. As for you, hehe..."
He laughed dryly at the two of them and didn't continue talking, but made Abel break out in a cold sweat. I heard that the person in the car continued: "Willik, a fool jumped out to accuse me not long ago, I didn't expect another one now. Could it be that Lord Earl's men are all like this?"
The tall young man sitting on the left-handed horse laughed, and the laughter was almost like a loud slap in the face, making Abel slap.
At this time, Ruo Laze stepped forward, smiled and said, "I am Ruo La, the commander of Shen Hai Lin Ji, may I ask who is the lord in the carriage?"
There was a chuckle in the car, and someone finally pushed the car and horse away. A young man got out of the car. He was dressed in black, with a baron's sash hanging from his shoulders. Under the night, the short silver hair was folded under the lights, and the luster like a stream of light flowed between the hair strands. The young and handsome jazz smiled lightly: "It turns out to be Miss Ruola, so please forgive me for offending me. You don't dare to be an adult, but you can call me Alan if you are a lady."
Ruola was startled, and then a strange light burst into her beautiful eyes, her tone was 70% joyful, and 300% excited: "You are Allen? That Baron Allen?"
After finishing speaking, she felt a little incoherent, Ruola quickly covered her lips and glanced at Abel. Seeing anger and astonishment on his face, he smiled and said, "Even if it's Sir Allen, don't you think what you just said is too arrogant? My brother always taught me that a true nobleman is always humble and polite." Polite."
Allen nodded and said: "The earl's guidance is naturally correct, but in fact, I don't think I was arrogant just now."
"The so-called arrogant person is not inferior to the superior. However, this Mr. Abel is only a mere adjutant, and he shouts at me. If you say arrogant, I think this Mr. Abel is more in line with what Miss Ruola said. Say." Allen said seriously: "Severely reprimanding the subordinates is not arrogance, but majesty. If Miss Ruola insists on calling majesty arrogance, then I can only say that Miss's prejudice is a little bigger."
Ruola laughed: "Sir Allen is not only outstanding in battle, but he is also eloquent. I have learned something. None of us have titles, so we should let the Sir pass first. After that, we must ask the Sir for advice."
Allen shook his head and made a "please" gesture: "Ladies first,
Please ask Deep Sea Linji to pass first. If I meet Miss Ruola and don't know how to be courteous, then I really can't be called a qualified gentleman. "
When Ruola heard this, her face was full of smiles, and she was not humble. Immediately, he made a gesture and took Shen Hailin Ji to leave first. That Abel glanced at Alan with a bit of reluctance, and then he rode his horse and chased after Ruola. Alan got into the carriage, and Lucy beside him smiled and said, "Sir Alan's flattery is good, you can see that Miss Ruola's face is shining. She is Aubin's sister, why don't you put her in bed Go, maybe Oban will give you a redbud collar as well."
"Are you kidding me? I think you're jealous." Allen sat down next to her and smiled.
Lucy rolled her eyes: "Who is this lady, who needs to be jealous of a woman from an uncivilized planet?"
"Understood, respectable and beautiful Your Highness. You must remember to keep an eye on me when you go to the banquet later, otherwise I am afraid that those earl sisters, baron daughters and so on will swallow me alive."
"It's a good idea, I'll let you visit yours later, and I'll play mine." The girl wrinkled her nose and snorted.
Arriving at White Castle soon, it was naturally impossible for Deep Sea Linji to enter the castle with all her staff. Most of them turned around outside and then returned to the barracks. Only Ruola and Abel brought a team of knights into the castle to attend the banquet tonight. Allen was neither too early nor too late. Butler Metz was waiting outside the door early in the morning. When he saw Alan, he quickly saluted and said, "Baron Alan, please come with me. The Earl wants to meet you before the dinner. As for your partner and guards, you can Enter first, someone will entertain you."
Allen nodded, and said to Lucy behind him, "I'll go see the count first."
Follow Metz to a room behind the main banquet hall. This is the earl's private place, and guests who are not entertained have no right to enter it. After Metz brought Alan in, he left immediately. The room is lit with electric lamps and candles, shining brightly everywhere. It is elegantly furnished, decorated with famous paintings and sculptures, and a few potted plants decorate the space well, so that the style of the room will not be too rigid.
"Sir Alan, please come to me."
In the center of the room, Oban was holding a wine glass and talking with several people. Seeing Allen, he smiled and waved. Alan walked over, and a waiter brought wine, and Alan took a glass and stood beside Oban. The people who were with Auban were all men, and the two were in their sixtieth years, but they were very expensive. The other one was a young man with handsome features, deep contours, and radiant eyes.
Oban introduced Alan, the two old men. One is the chairman of a large business group in Granier, who has had business contacts with Auban for many years, and his name is Li Qi. The other person turned out to be an earl, and his name was Coleman. Earl Coleman himself is not unusual, but he has a Marquis brother, Hoy who is called Iron Rose.
As for the young man, Oban briefly introduced his name. From Oban's tone, this young man named Rein seemed to have something to do with the imperial family. Even if he is not a member of the royal family, as long as he has a relationship with the royal family, he will naturally not be an ordinary person. Only then did Alan really enter Orbán's social circle. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to meet these important figures.
"This young man is tonight's protagonist, our Baron Allen." Finally, Oban pushed Allen in front of everyone.
Immediately, three eyes with different eyes fell on Allen. Allen accepted it calmly, and raised his glass generously: "I am just a small character. It is a great honor to meet some adults. I will do it first and respect."
After finishing the drink, Earl Coleman said "yes" immediately, patted Allen on the shoulder and said, "I just like this kind of straightforward young man, unlike some people who are too scheming , the words are always untrue."
He glanced at Rein intentionally or unintentionally, and the latter smiled lightly without explaining.
Li Qi raised his glass and tasted it. After politely responding, he said to Auban: "I still have something to do, so I can't attend your banquet."
"It's okay, I'll have a drink with you when I go to Granier."
Li Qi walked, and Auban signaled Alan to accompany him to leave. After bidding farewell to Coleman and Rein, Allen looked at Oban's back. Those three people, Li Qi came from Granier, the city known as the pillar of the empire. The other two also have a lot of background, Oban has contacts with them, which shows his ambition to expand. It's just that the earl's communication skills are top-notch, but he is weak in terms of force.
If he hadn't joined this time, Daniel alone could have restrained Oban, let alone expand.
Entering a side room, there are several men and women in it. The youngest boy is only 2 years old, and the oldest is in his early twenties. The back of one of the women caught Alan's eyes, and when she turned her head, Alan saw Ruola's beautiful profile.
"Come in, now is the time for you to meet them." Oban first recruited Ruola, and said with a smile: "My sister Ruola, I think you have already met. Not long after, she and Deep Sea Linji , and Graal will manage the Bauhinia collar together. Ruola has a good talent in terms of source power, but she is too young when it comes to leading troops and battles. If there is a chance, Baron Allen will help me to mention her more."
Using one's relatives as a confidant is a very common method. It seems that Oban intends to train his sister to be a general. Allen nodded, of course he would not object. As for how much to mention, that is up to him.
Then there were a few children of Auban, and nothing else, but Auban's eldest son, Giles, made Alan pay attention. It's not that Giles is so outstanding, on the contrary, he is a shy and shy boy, far worse than Ruola. But he is the heir designated by Auban, and Auban himself knows his son's shortcomings very well, so he asked Alan to bring Gilles with him so that he could learn about territorial management and other matters.
Alan was really in trouble. Oban did this with the intention of confiding in him, otherwise he would not have handed over his heir to him. But in this way, Alan has to take the responsibility of protecting Gilles, and let Auban plant a most loyal eye in his territory for no reason. Of course, Allen couldn't refuse, at least not now. So he generously agreed, and at the same time thought that Gilles may not be all bad things in his hands.
If he falls out with the earl in the future, at least he has a chess piece that can threaten the earl.
At this moment, Butler Metz came in and said, "Count, the banquet is ready and can start at any time."
Oban laughed, patted Alan on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, Alan. Tonight's banquet is for you. If you, the protagonist, don't come, the banquet won't start."
Allen smiled and left behind Oban without evading it. Ruola, Gilles and others also followed behind, Ruola took a step forward, stood side by side with Alan, and suddenly reached out to give Alan a hand. Allen immediately felt that there was something more in his palm, and he quietly spread it out, but it was a note. Alan glanced at Ruola, who had already started talking to the junior as if nothing had happened, so Alan had to put away the note first, and wait for a chance to see what was written inside. r1058
