But what the young lady didn't know was that Li Ke hated this banquet as well. Instead of wasting his time in this magnificent hall built with the sweat and blood of the people, he would rather put the capitalists who had exploited the workers on trial in the streets of Pirtwof and hang their families on the street lamps in front of his office.
Therefore, it was a pity that Noxus didn't popularize the street lamps in Piltwof. Instead, they used lanterns and torches. Only the surrounding area of the palace had street lamps from Pi City. It was just that these street lamps were gorgeous but not sturdy enough. Li Ke estimated that if he fell on one person, these street lamps would directly break. They were not practical at all. Compared to his bent street lamp, which was also known as the "angler's" office lamp, they were not of the same level.
On the contrary, the flagpoles with the flag of Noxus fluttering in the air were suitable for hanging something.
The person who invited him to this banquet wasn't a good person either. He was the former king of this city, the current overlord of Noxus, and the city's orderlies. One look and one could tell that he was a noble with a family of at least a few hundred years. At the very least, Li Ke couldn't be as good as the man boasted, where he could feel the furry balls under the three layers of velvet blankets.
Moreover, he was welcomed to this banquet as soon as he arrived in this city. The man even said that this banquet wasn't specially organized for him, but that he, as a noble guest, had just arrived when the man was celebrating the new birth of the Empire. This wonderful coincidence would be written into his family tree and passed down along with his name and his family, forever remembering this moment of glory for his ancestors.
This kind of bootlicking behavior was rather extreme, but it wasn't rare. What annoyed Li Ke the most was that the man brazenly shoved his daughters and wives to his side and allowed them to wear low-cut evening gowns in the -3 degrees Celsius temperature. The man even allowed these beautiful young ladies and wives to ride with him, claiming that this was his family's tradition. Apart from that, his family also had a tradition of listening to guests' stories and drinking.
This kind of shameless bootlicking was rather extreme, but it wasn't particularly rare either. However, when these two types of bootlicking methods were put together, Li Ke felt uncomfortable all over. But fortunately, he had endured long enough. As long as he finished attending this banquet, he would be able to rest and leave the side of this fellow who only knew how to flatter and fawn on others. His ears and eyes would have some peace for a period of time so that he could get rid of this man after this.
However, just as he pushed open the door impatiently to the liege's flattering smile and welcomed the flowers and ribbons thrown out by the scantily clad young ladies, his expression froze. Then, he looked at the liege who was bent over in front of him with a strange gaze, to the point that the liege's height did not even reach his waist. He had a deeper understanding of the liege's talent.
This banquet hall is full of women! Not a single man! Moreover, there were a few women who looked very similar to Nola. When they saw Rhode looking at them, they even stroked their hair coquettishly. It was obvious that they were up to no good. Lina, who was also known as Elise, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. This was because she also saw a few women with a similar style as her. Even a blind person could tell what this lord wanted to do.
As for Ah Li, who had donned the Noxus people's military uniform and claimed to be Li Ke's personal guard, she was also speechless because there were Vastaya people among the maids in the banquet hall. Even though they had different appearances and were mostly expressionless or shackled, they were still women. When they saw Li Ke, their eyes were filled with complicated emotions. On the other hand, Lilia, who was forced to wear a Noxus horse armor and half-body armor, removed her armor mask out of shyness and wrapped her delicate body completely under the malevolent-looking Noxus armor. If it weren't for the flower on the cudgel that never left her side, she would have looked no different from a cruel centaur in full body armor.
However, the overlord who created these things didn't notice the strange expressions of the group of people. Or perhaps, he purposely didn't notice. Instead, he bowed deeply to Li Ke and spoke his welcome speech.
"Your Majesty, welcome to the banquet hall of your humble servants. This place is filled with guests who came here out of admiration for you. They are eager to receive your teachings and are willing to discuss these matters with you throughout the night."
His meaning was very clear. No matter how much Li Ke liked these people, it was not a problem for him to spend the whole night with them in this room. He would take care of everything. Judging from the robes and family emblems on the noblewomen and young ladies, most of them were women from influential families. There were also some who supported the influential families. Li Ke had seen the most hardworking mother-daughter pair during the banquet in the Immortal Fortress. This was nothing more than a test by the old nobles. They wanted to get a satisfactory answer from Li Ke.
After all, Nora wasn't able to satisfy everyone.
"You guys are really … sparing no effort. But instead of pleasing me, why don't you please that female fox?"
Li Ke smiled and shook his head. Then, he bent down and patted the shoulder of the Overlord who had bent his back 90 degrees. However, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. When he bent over, everyone in the banquet hall bent over as well. Those who were facing him even knelt on the ground. Li Ke couldn't figure out how the overlord did it. His movements were so agile that Li Ke couldn't figure out how he did it.
Naturally, his hand missed. Just as he was feeling awkward, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Little Tanuki had proudly puffed out her chest, making the already big thing seem even bigger. It was obvious that his words had caused the fox to misunderstand.
"After all, I have no interest in you guys. So instead of eagerly waiting to be my dog, why don't you just happily become Nora's dog because I will only let her handle your matters."
Li Ke's words made the overlord break out in cold sweat and Tanuki's chest deflate in frustration. He looked at the group of orioles and swallows in the banquet hall and smiled.
"As for you guys."
He pointed at the expensive looking dishes.
"Go home after eating. After all, wasting food is a bad habit."
