Chapter 12

The servants met the guests invited by the knight Marshall outside the gate of the castle. These guests were the Lords around and the nobles in the harvest city 100 miles away. From this point of view, the knight Marshall had a wide range of friends, which was inseparable from his family background.

The party was held in the hall of the castle. Hundreds of huge smokeless candles lit the whole hall. Red wine from Bagang City, the capital of the principality, and fresh game from the forest behind the castle attracted people's taste buds.

It's already dark, and all the guests in the hall have arrived. No one will be late for this kind of dance. Compared with the diversity of the earth's night leisure activities, people in this world have very few activities at night. Poor people can't afford expensive oil lamps at night, so they all rest early. And the nobles only read books at night. The nobles in the city will have the chance to listen to opera, but those performances are not everyday.

The cost of holding a dance is very large. Ordinary nobles can only hold one or two such parties a year, which can't bear any more.

Abel's Knight leader of Bennet has never held such a party since he can remember. I don't know how Marshall Knights manage money. I really should let Bennet knights and Marshall Knights learn to manage money. Abel thought so.

Abel is today's protagonist, so he and Marshall Knight rest together on the second floor of the hall, and wait until Lindsey, the steward in black tuxedo, downstairs, yells: "please respect Marshall knight and master Abel."

Everyone's applause, Marshall knight with Abe slowly down the stairs, he kept nodding to the guests. When the knight Marshall lifted his glass, the atmosphere of the ball reached its peak.

At the ball tonight, Abel knew no one except Marshall knight. He was less than 13 years old. There was no lady to invite him to dance. Abel looked around when he was free. Except for the occasional guest who would say hello to him and his polite return, he had nothing to do with him.

"Lucky black boy."

"Yes, a lucky fellow."

"I don't deserve such a good thing."

"As long as you look like that, it's better to choose me."

In one corner of the dance, several young people were talking and laughing together. They didn't notice that they had approached Abel. When they saw Abel, they were embarrassed for a while. Then a young man in a white dress stood up and gave an evening gift to Abel. He said sorry, "sorry, we didn't notice your coming."

"I don't need to apologize. I'm interrupting your conversation." Abel returned to the evening ceremony with a calm look.

Before coming to Harry's castle, Abel had considered that someone would talk about it, but as a man who was 40 years old and had been around for two generations, he didn't pay attention to these remarks.

Abel's attitude seems to be welcomed by several young people. They pull Abel together to talk about some interesting stories, such as a jazz has a new lover, what prey someone has hit, and so on.

The young man in white dress is Isaac, the eldest son of Baron victor of harvest city. He just showed his envy for Abel's good fortune and was adopted by a childless fiefdom knight.

Isaac's father, Baron Victor, is one of the many knights in the harvest city. Although they live in the city, most of them are engaged in commercial activities, because to maintain the noble's luxury life, they must be based on a large number of gold coins.

Although merchants are inferior in the eyes of nobles, they can only earn gold coins by engaging in business operations that they despise in order to live, and the status of Lords of fiefdoms, even Knights of fiefdoms, is higher than those of barons without fiefdoms.

Without fiefdoms, there would be no castle, only to live in the city. No matter how big the house is, it can't compare with the freedom of its own castle. The output of fiefdoms can have a continuous income to maintain their own and their families' lives, as well as the funds of the guard.

For Isaac's envy, Abel can understand that as long as there is no malice, Abel can tolerate.

I took a sip of red wine gently, listened to the conversation of several people, and inserted a sentence from time to time, which made people feel that he would not be too cold, but not too enthusiastic.

At this time, a sinister look swept over. It was Abel, the fourth level trainee knight, who caught the malice in his eyes for the first time. He looked at the past with his spare light without trace, and still shook his glass lightly.

It was a young man, tall and straight, handsome, with blond hair combed perfectly, but his eyes were too long and thin, showing some softness.

With a touch of Isaac, Abe asked softly, "who is that?" Said with the eyes inadvertently swept to the young man.

"His name is Daniel, a disgusting fellow." Isaac turned to look at the young man, turned his head disdainfully and replied.

"What's the matter?" Abel asked curiously.

"He was the son of a businessman, his sister married Lord Walker in the harvest City, and he joined the aristocracy, but he was not satisfied with all this." Isaac said, looked up at Abel, and then said, "he heard that the Marshall knight had no children, so he asked his sister to help him become the adopted son of the Marshall knight. His sister couldn't help it. He asked Lord walker to find the Marshall knight, but the Marshall Knight refused in person."Isaac took a drink, as if talking about Daniel's rejection made him feel good: "this matter spread in the aristocratic circle, do you know what everyone said?"

Seeing Abel's calm expression, Isaac added uninteresting: "everyone said that Daniel had no self-knowledge, and Lord walker had no face because of this. In fact, Lord Walker didn't think about it. Would the Marshall Knight accept the son of a businessman as his successor? Even if he promised, his family would not. "

Speaking of these gossip, Isaac's interest increased greatly. He said all he knew in one breath, and made Abel understand the reason why Daniel hated himself.

Some can't stand the boring topics of these people. The important things of these young people are frivolous news and gossip. They found an opportunity to say hello to some people, and Abe went to the bathroom.

Daniel saw Abel go to the bathroom, stood up and went to the bathroom.

Abel didn't go into the bathroom, but stopped at the window near the bathroom to let the wind outside blow his hot face. After drinking some red wine, his 12-year-old body felt a little bit drunk. He felt more comfortable after blowing the cold wind.

Put the glass on the windowsill. Abel reminded himself that he was still too young to drink. He used to know all these things when he was a fitness coach, but the atmosphere of the dance just made him forget his age. After self-examination, he decided to stop drinking before he reached adulthood.

As today's master, it's very impolite to leave the dance for a long time. Turning around, Abel was about to go back to the hall when a figure collided with him. Almost at the same time, Abel's body made a response. The strong fourth level apprentice Knight's breath came out of his body. The figure collided with him did not shake him after touching his body However, he was bounced out by the stress of his body. The man flew for three meters in the air, slipped another two meters when he fell to the ground, then stopped, and fell to the ground motionless.

Someone happened to see this scene, until the man was shot out, only to know what happened, someone has come to check.

"It's Daniel." A knight reached out his hand and turned the man who had fallen to the ground.

"My God, Dear Daniel, what's the matter with you?" A young woman in a noble puffy skirt came running quickly to see Daniel on the ground and cried out.

As the master, Marshall Knight came to the scene, saw the situation on the ground, and asked Abel, "Abel, what's the matter?"

"I don't know. He ran into me and flew out like this." Abel opened his hand and made a sign of innocence.

The Marshall Knight looked at Daniel on the ground. He didn't need to think about what happened. Abel had just arrived today. He didn't even know a few people. As today's master, he would never teach today's guests a lesson without any reason.

Daniel, the young man, still remembers that he was laughed at by his friends after he refused the young man's rude request, but because of Lord Walker's relationship, he did not pursue the matter.

Today, Daniel even attacked the heirs of the castle at his own dance. It's not a common move. As the heirs of the castle, Abel has really got the status of aristocrat. It's a felony to attack the aristocrat in this world. Besides, it's an act of seeking death to attack the heirs of the castle in other people's castle.

The Marshall Knight ignored the crying woman, looked back at Lord Walker in the crowd, and said to Lord Walker in a deep voice, "are you going to challenge the Harry family by bringing Daniel to my castle today? Or are you going to have an honor duel with me for their own reputation? "

Lord Walker glanced at Daniel on the ground. To be honest, if he knew that Daniel was so brave, he would not dare to bring Daniel here. This time, Daniel asked to see what kind of person became the successor of Marshall knight.
