Two days passed quickly.
Dean took Aisha to eat, drink and play around in the capital. They enjoyed the rare peaceful time. The banquet began in the blink of an eye. Dean and Lozick sat in the same carriage. They followed the carriages of the other lords to the venue of the banquet, Rose Manor.
"Rose Manor has a history of more than one hundred years. The street where it is located was renamed Rose Street sixty years ago. The current Grand Duke of Rose built Violet Square. It has become one of the four most prosperous areas in the capital. People will think of Rose Manor and Grand Duke Rose whenever Violet Square is mentioned. They are hereditary nobles that have been passed down from their ancestors to the present …"
Inside the carriage, Losik was talking about Rose Manor to Dean.
Dean casually asked a question. He didn't interrupt Lozick as he listened to the story.
It didn't take long for the convoy to enter a bustling area. Lozick lifted the curtain and looked out. There was a trace of awe and yearning in his eyes. He sighed: "We are arriving at Violet Square. It is worthy of being one of the four most prosperous areas in the capital …"
Dean felt the prosperity of the capital. The streets were crowded. Although there were many lord's flags but it was still difficult to move. There were several teams of knights who came to maintain order.
Lozick whispered as he looked at the team of knights: "They are the squires of Grand Duke Rose."
Dean glanced at the knight and remembered the emblem on his shoulder. It was in the shape of a rose. It matched the title of the lord.
After half an hour, the convoy finally arrived in front of an empty street. There weren't many people on this street. Most of the passersby would take a detour when they got close to this place. Most of them looked at this place with awe in their eyes.
Dean lifted the curtain and immediately understood the difference between the Rose Lord and the other lords. The manor in front of their convoy was vast and boundless, like a green grassland. More than a dozen maids and gardeners could be seen in the manor. They were trimming tea trees and lawns. More than a dozen buildings could be seen in the distance.
If it was an ordinary person, they could barely see the black outline of the buildings.
The size of the manor was astonishing. It was even more exaggerated than the palaces that Dean had seen.
"Establishing such a large manor territory in the king's city …" Dean's eyes flashed. He had a more intuitive understanding of the strength of Rose Manor.
At this moment, seven or eight squads of knights galloped in from outside the manor. Their armor shone brightly, and the feathers on their helmets were incomparably bright red. Each of them stood erect and looked extremely majestic. These knights arrived in front of the caravan and communicated with the guards at the gate for a while. Then, they opened the gate of the manor. The first caravan drove in first, and the other caravans followed one after another, slowly driving into the vast manor.
After entering the manor, it was as if they had entered another world. The bustling noises from before had completely disappeared, and the place had become extremely quiet and peaceful.
Rozick smacked his lips and lifted the curtain to look around. Although he was a feudal lord, he rarely had the chance to be a guest in Grand Duchess Rose's manor. At this moment, compared to Rose Manor, he thought of his own castle and manor that he was so proud of, and he suddenly felt a sense of shame.
Not only Rozick, but the other lords in the caravan were also the same. They had seen the majestic atmosphere of Rose Manor, and also the majestic financial resources.
Dean wasn't interested in these things. He had seen too much gold and silver wealth when he had usurped the wall lord position. Although Rose Manor was quite grand, but in his opinion, it was just like that. Moreover, he regarded himself as a fighter, and believed in the iron law of respect. He didn't care about these superficial things. However, he also understood that these fancy things weren't simple beauty and atmosphere, but an invisible show of force.
Ten minutes later, the caravan passed through the manor and arrived at the top of the hillside. As soon as they arrived, they saw a majestic ancient castle located everywhere on the hillside. Among them, in front of the building with the highest floor and the largest area, stood a line of knights, decorating the courtyard of the building with a jubilant atmosphere.
The caravan arrived in front of the main hall. Everyone got off one after another.
"That is the third son of Grand Duchess Rose, Crody." Rozick whispered to Dean as he looked at a youth in a blue shirt.
Dean glanced at him and nodded. He didn't say anything.
Rozick knew what Dean really cared about, but he didn't say much. The reason why he introduced Dean to Dean was that he was afraid that Dean would cause trouble. Although he was eager for Dean to have an accident, but after all, Dean was following him. If there was an accident then it was inevitable that Dean would be implicated.
"Luo Si, Ya 'er, come here." Rozick waved to the two women who got off the caravan.
Accompanied by the guards, the two women walked over. Luo Sini glanced at Dean who was standing next to Rosik. There was a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes, but she didn't show it. Although she liked to draw and play the piano, and didn't know much about territorial wars, she wasn't completely ignorant. At least in terms of etiquette, she knew how to restrain herself, especially in front of someone who was in awe of her father.
Luo Ya was the elder sister. She looked at Dean with a smile and said to Rozick: "Dad, there are so many lords today. When should we go in?"
"Now." Rozick looked around and said to Dean: "Mr Dean, come with me. Otherwise the guards will have to stay outside."
Dudian nodded.
As the group walked toward the main hall, Crody waited for Rosik at the door and said warmly, "I've long heard of Lord Rosik's great name, and now that I've seen you in person, I can't help but admire your extraordinary bearing. These two must be your daughters. They are so beautiful and elegant!"
Rosik was overwhelmed by the favor and said, "Thank you, thank you. I've made a fool of myself."
Crody smiled as he glanced at Dean and Aisha: "Who are these two?"
Rozick replied: "They are the children of my relatives. We came to see them. It won't delay anything."
Crody frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Alright, you go ahead."
Rozick was relieved to see Dean agree. He led Dean into the main hall.
When they entered the hall, even Luo Ya and Luo Ni, who were born in aristocratic families, couldn't help but gasp. They couldn't help but look shocked. It was simply too gorgeous. Everything they saw was golden and majestic. The entire main hall was extremely spacious and could probably accommodate thousands of people. It was like a small square with more than a dozen large tables of different sizes. On the tables were piles of champagne and a large number of plates. There was also a row of chefs who specialized in serving food and maids who shuttled through the banquet.
Crystal lamps were hanging above their heads. They were arranged in an orderly manner. The two women held their breath as they looked at the exquisite atmosphere.
Dean saw this scene and suddenly thought of the villages that he met at the outermost edge of the giant wall. Dilapidated and muddy, and starving villagers. He sighed in his heart. He didn't sympathize with those people as there was no need. But there was a touch of regret. He couldn't tell why he was regretful. Perhaps he hated this polarizing phenomenon, but he was powerless to change it. Or perhaps he had seen through it and agreed with it. He had become a part of it.
Suddenly a voice sounded from behind Dean as he was lost in his thoughts.
"Get out of the way!"
The voice was rough and full of majesty.
Dean turned around and saw that Rozick and his two daughters had already entered the banquet hall. Only he and Aisha were standing at the door.
