The person in the car did not come down. In public, this was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Abel. The young adjutant's handsome face turned red, and his body trembled with anger. He raised his whip and pointed, "I am Abel, the commander of the Count's direct army, the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine. If you do not get off the carriage, I will treat it as a provocation. This is a great disrespect to the Count!"
The man in the car laughed, "You're not too stupid. You know how to bring out the Count to suppress me. It's a pity that he's still an idiot. He's both an adjutant and a fellow who doesn't even have a title. He actually dares to speak rudely to me. I bumped into the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine, so I naturally have to apologize to the Count. As for you, hehe … "
He laughed dryly at the two of them and did not continue, but it made Abel break out in a cold sweat. The man in the car continued, "William, there was an idiot who jumped out to accuse me not long ago. I didn't expect there to be another one now. Could it be that the Count's subordinates are all like this? "
The tall young man sitting on the horse on the left laughed loudly. His laughter was like a loud slap, causing Abel to slap.
At this moment, Ruo La rode forward and smiled, "I am Ruo La, the commander of the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine. May I ask who is in the carriage?"
A chuckle sounded from the carriage, and finally someone pushed the carriage away. A young man got out of the carriage. He was dressed in black clothes and trousers with a baron's belt hanging from his shoulders. Under the night sky, the short silver folding body was lit up, and a luster that looked like flowing light circulated between the silk. The young and handsome Sir smiled faintly and said, "So it's Miss Jorah. Forgive me for offending you. My lord doesn't dare. Miss can call me Ellen. "
Ruo La was stunned. Then, a strange light burst out of her beautiful eyes. Her tone was filled with joy and excitement as she said, "Are you Allen? That Baron Allen? "
After saying that, he felt that he was a little incoherent. Ruo La hurriedly covered her lips and glanced at Abel. Seeing his face filled with anger and astonishment, he smiled and said, "Even if it's Sir Allen, don't you think what you said just now is too arrogant? My brother always taught me that a true noble is always humble and courteous. "
Allen nodded and said, "The Count's guidance is naturally correct, and in fact, I don't think I was arrogant just now."
"The so-called arrogant are those who are disrespectful to their superiors. However, this Mr. Abel was only an adjutant, yet he was shouting at me. In terms of arrogance, I think this Mr. Abel is more in line with what Miss Jorah said. "Allen said seriously," Reprimanding the inferior is not arrogance, but dignity. If Miss Ruola insists on describing dignity as arrogance, then I can only say that Miss is a little biased. "
Jorah laughed, "Sir Allen is not only distinguished in battle, but he is also eloquent. I've learned a lot. None of us have any titles of nobility, so we politely let Sir pass first. In the future, I'll have to ask Sir for advice. "
Allen shook his head and made a "please" gesture. "Ladies first, please let the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine pass first. If I don't know how to be polite when I meet Miss Jorah, then I really can't be called a qualified gentleman. "
When Jorah heard this, her face was full of smiles, and she was not modest. He immediately made a gesture and left with the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine. Abel looked at Allen with some unwillingness before riding his horse to chase after Jorah. Allen got into the carriage and Lucy smiled and said, "Sir Allen is a good flatterer. Look at Miss Jorah's face. She's Ou Ban's sister. She's Ou Ban's sister. Why don't you get her into bed? Perhaps Ou Ban will also give you the Bauhinia collar. "
"Are you kidding me? I think you're jealous." Allen sat beside her and smiled.
Lucy rolled her eyes and said, "Who am I? Do I need to be jealous of a woman from an uncivilized planet?"
"Yes, my dear and beautiful highness. You must remember to keep an eye on me at the banquet later. Otherwise, I'm afraid those Countess sisters, Baron daughters, and so on will eat me alive. "
"Dream on. You'll go shopping later. I'll play with mine." The girl wrinkled her nose and snorted.
Soon, they arrived at White Castle. Naturally, it was impossible for the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine to enter the castle. Most of them circled around outside and returned to the barracks. Only Jorah and Abel brought a group of Knight into the castle to attend tonight's banquet. Allen didn't come too early, nor did he come too late. The butler, Mace, had been waiting outside the door all morning. When he saw Allen, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Baron Allen, please follow me. The count wants to see you before the banquet begins. As for your partner and guards, they can enter first. There will be someone to entertain them. "
Allen nodded and said to Lucy, "I'll go see the count first."
He followed Mace to a room behind the main banquet hall. This was the count's private place, and uninvited guests had no right to enter it. Mace brought Allen in and left immediately. The room was lit up with electric lights and candlelight. It was elegantly decorated with famous paintings and carvings, and a few potted plants decorated the space so that the style of the room was not too rigid.
"Sir Allen, please come to my side."
In the center of the room, Ou Ban was talking to a few people with a glass of wine in his hand. When he saw Allen, he immediately smiled and waved. Allen walked over, and a waiter brought fine wine. Allen took a glass and stood beside Ou Ban. The people with Ou Ban were all men. Two of them were already in their sixties, but they were extremely noble. The other was a young man with handsome facial features, deep outlines, and very spirited eyes.
Ou Ban introduced the two old men to Allen. One of them was the chairman of a large business group in Granier. He had business dealings with Ou Ban for many years. His name was Li Qi. The other person was also an Earl. His name was Coleman. Earl Coleman himself was ordinary, but he had a marquis brother, Hoey, who was known as the Iron Spear Rose.
As for the young man, Ou Ban briefly introduced his name. This young man named Rhine, from Ou Ban's tone, seemed to have something to do with the imperial family. Even if he wasn't a member of the royal family, as long as he was related to the royal family, he would naturally not be an ordinary person. It was only at this moment that Allen truly entered Ou Ban'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." In the end, Ou Ban pushed Allen in front of everyone.
Immediately, three different gazes landed on Allen. Allen accepted it calmly and raised his glass generously. "I'm just a small character. It's an honor to meet you all. I'll drink first."
After saying that, he drank all the wine. Earl Coleman immediately called out the word "good" and patted Allen on the shoulder. "I like this kind of straightforward young man. Unlike some people, who are too scheming and never tell the truth."
He glanced at Ryan intentionally or unintentionally, and the latter smiled faintly without explaining.
Li Qi raised his glass and politely responded. Then, he said to Ou Ban, "I still have things to do, so I can't attend your banquet."
"It doesn't matter. I'll have a good drink with you when I go to Granier."
Li Qi walked over, and Ou Ban gestured for Allen to accompany him. After bidding farewell to Coleman and Rhine, Allen looked at Ou Ban's back. Of the three of them, Li Qi came from Granier, the city known as the pillar of the empire. The other two also had a great background. Ou Ban had dealings with them, which showed his ambition to expand. However, the Earl's communication skills were first-rate, but he was lacking in terms of martial strength.
If he hadn't joined this time, just Daniel alone would have been able to restrain Ou Ban to the point that he couldn't move, let alone expand.
Entering a side room, there were a few men and women inside. The youngest boy was only ten years old, and the oldest was in his early twenties. One of the women's backs collided into Allen's eyes. When she turned around, Allen saw Jorah's beautiful side profile.
"Come in. It's time for you to meet them." Ou Ban beckoned to Jorah and smiled, "My sister, Jorah, I think you've already met. Soon, she, the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine, and Grar will manage the Bauhinia Collar together. Jorah's talent in Origin Energy is not bad, but when it comes to leading troops, she's still too young. If there's a chance, Baron Allen will help me teach her more. "
Using one's own clan as a trusted aide was an extremely common method. It seemed that Ou Ban was planning to nurture his sister into a general. Allen nodded. Of course, he wouldn't object. As for how much to raise, it was up to him to decide.
Next were Aiban's children. The others were fine, but Ou Ban's eldest son, Gills, kept Allen in mind. This wasn't because Gills was outstanding. On the contrary, he was a shy youth, far inferior to Jorah. However, he was Ou Ban's designated successor. Ou Ban himself knew his son's shortcomings very well. As he spoke, he asked Allen to bring Gills with him so that he could learn about territory management and other matters.
Allen was really in a dilemma. Ou Ban did this with the intention of confiding in him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have handed over his successor to him. But in this way, Allen would have to bear the responsibility of protecting Gills, and he would also let Ou Ban place a loyal eye in his territory for no reason. Of course, Allen couldn't refuse, at least not now. So he agreed generously, thinking that it might not be a bad thing for Gills to be in his hands.
Once he fell out with the count in the future, at least he had a chess piece that could threaten the count.
At this moment, Steward Mace came in and said, "Count, the banquet is ready. It can begin at any time."
Ou Ban laughed and patted Allen on the shoulder. "Let's go, Allen. Tonight's banquet is for you. If you, the protagonist, don't come, the banquet won't start. "
Ellen smiled and did not refuse, so he followed behind Ou Ban and left. Behind them, Jorah, Gills, and the others also followed out. Jorah took a step forward and stood side by side with Allen. Suddenly, she reached out and shook Allen. Allen immediately felt something in his palm. He quietly spread it out, but it was a note. Allen glanced at Jorah, who was already talking to the younger generation as if nothing had happened. Allen could only put away the note and wait for an opportunity to see what was written inside.
