Today's banquet made Luo Ya realize one thing: the Heathcliff Family was not only powerful, but also rich.
For example, although the food on the table was just for the nobles to fill their stomachs, and no one would really eat to their heart's content, these half-eaten and half-thrown things were actually rare delicacies.
The Blood-eyed Spotted Birds of Charon Forest had delicious meat and were rare in number. Rumor had it that they were the werewolves' scouts and were currently nesting in their dinner plates. The Paper Crabs of the Northern Sea had thin skin and overflowing crab roe and crab paste.
In addition to the meat, the remaining fruits were also very precious. The wine was also aged for more than 20 years. It could be said that the taste of the food was at its peak.
Luo Ya did not know how good the chefs of the Wang Family were, but the ingredients were enough to make him jealous. As a foodie from the Celestial Empire, these dishes were far more attractive than those of the nobles.
No matter how important it was to socialize, could it stop the main character from killing him ten years later? If it couldn't stop them, then it was better to eat something good now.
Luo Ya thought as he cut some food to feed Ai Lisi. In this place, there were no servants, so he could only take care of Ai Lisi, who could not use a knife and fork. This was also the reason why Ka Diya asked him to bring Ai Lisi to dinner. However, Luo Ya did not expect Ai Lisi to reject him.
"Brother, I-I'm not that hungry. I'll just drink some juice."
The silver-haired girl blushed. She naturally wanted to accept Luo Ya's kindness, but she could not let Luo Ya feed her in public like a servant. This might damage Luo Ya's dignity. Compared to her beloved brother being laughed at, Ai Lisi would rather starve.
"I see. Then, I'll get you a cup."
"It's okay, brother. You don't have to take care of me. I'll go chat with the girls from before."
"Oh, okay."
Luo Ya thought about the daughters of the nobles who were close to the Akat Family. After thinking for a while, he nodded. After all, this was a rare opportunity to make friends. Ai Lisi, who had been with Luo Ya all year round, didn't need to follow him at this time.
After making up his mind, Luo Ya separated from Ai Lisi and began his journey to scavenge for delicious food alone. However, he didn't know that a pair of vicious eyes were already staring at the girl who was leaving.
Ai Lisi walked through the corridor alone.
It was winter, so the temperature in the manor was not high. Although the hall was warm with people coming and going, the heat dissipated in the corridor. The music and laughter of the crowd were much quieter here. The lights on both sides of the wall were hung very high, making the entire corridor somewhat dark.
The tearoom, which provided seats for the ladies to rest, was not far away. As Ai Lisi walked through the darkness, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
She hated this place, and she hated this activity.
It wasn't because of the main character of the birthday banquet, Nuo Aier, nor was it because she had any opinions about the Heathcliff Family. Ai Lisi simply had a memory here that she didn't want to recall.
During last year's birthday party, she was bullied by a group of boys here. In order to gain the favor of the Count's son, the boys who used to bully her sold her out like a treasure. They dragged her to a deserted room and stabbed her with knives and forks. This incident caused the girl to have a fear of knives and forks, and since then, she didn't dare to hold a knife and fork in her hands.
Although her father was very angry after the incident, Ai Lisi herself couldn't find a single wound on her body due to her ability. With so many perpetrators and no evidence, the matter could only be left unsettled.
Ai Lisi didn't tell Luo Ya and Ka Diya about this incident, because it was all in the past. The sensible girl didn't want to cause trouble for them. This year, Ai Lisi also saw the group of boys at the banquet, but unlike before, the girl's identity had changed. She was no longer the child of a declining Baron family, but Ai Lisi Akate, a member of the Marquis Akate Family.
As long as she had this surname, those who bullied the weak and feared the strong wouldn't dare to cause trouble, because any insult to Ai Lisi would be regarded as disrespect and provocation to the Akate Family. In fact, those boys did hurriedly avoid her gaze.
Finally, I won't encounter that kind of thing again?
The girl muttered to herself, but she didn't expect that two people would suddenly appear from the dark fork in the road and block her way. They were the two children of the Viscount Family who bullied her since she was young, Luke and Sean.
"Stop!"
"Ai Lisi, long time no see."
"You are …"
The two children who blocked her way looked at the surprised girl, and a malicious smile appeared on their faces almost reflexively. Having bullied Ai Lisi since they were young, they knew the girl's weakness very well. In fact, Ai Lisi's face did indeed show a frightened expression at this moment.
However, they guessed the beginning, but not the end.
Ai Lisi's heart was indeed filled with fear, but soon a figure appeared in her mind. Luo Ya's meticulous care and companionship for the past few months had awakened the girl. She remembered the surname that hung behind her name, and understood that she had to change.
In the past, when she succumbed to fear, it could be attributed to her fear of power, but now, if she were to succumb again, there would be no excuse, it would just be her own cowardice and cowardice.
If the bullied didn't resist, there would only be one outcome, and that was to be persecuted more and more.
For some reason, at this moment, the figure of Nuo Aier suddenly appeared in Ai Lisi's eyes. It was a confidence and pride that was completely different from hers, almost to the point of sacredness. If it wasn't for Luo Ya, she would have looked forward to Nuo Aier very much, but now that she confronted Nuo Aier, there was only one thought in her heart.
