Chapter 23 (2/2)

He stopped paying attention to this matter.

Liszt began to practice the moves of Furious Fire.

Normal earth knights would not practice a new technique until they were familiarized with the most well-matched technique. Thanks to his aptitude, Liszt could practice Furious Fire, which focused on group fights, after he grasped Dragon Drill.

The moves could mostly sweep across a large area.

Without him knowing it, he was dedicated to his training. The fire-natured combat aura was released and heated the air, making the environment scorching hot.

“Grant Fire Wave!”

A swing of the sword raised fire again.

He saw Carter walking to him quickly.

He withdrew the combat aura and asked, “Mr. Carter, what’s up?”

“My lord, Jesse said that he saw a convoy when he went to cut grass outside. I assume that the earl and the baroness might be here.”

Liszt was refreshed. “Finally. Please ask my teachers to welcome the convoy with me. I need to take a bath and get changed.”

He got upstairs and took a bath.

Very soon, Marcus and Goltai arrived.

The castle had a good view from the hilltop. They could see a convoy riding to them slowly from Thorn Hill.

“Mr. Goltai, remind me to discipline the patrol. Nobody gave me any information about the convoy. I wouldn’t have known it without my servants.”

“The patrolmen are all jackasses. You need to lend me your squires and let me train them.”

“Not a problem.” Liszt got on the newly-tamed horse to demonstrate himself. “Come with me to welcome the convoy. I don’t think my father would come in person. It’s probably my brother that is escorting the tulip big elf.”

The three of them left to welcome the visitors.

Carter, on the other hand, commanded the servants. “Everybody cheer up! Clean your clothes and don’t look dirty! Jesse, your pants are still muddy! Are you going to humiliate all of us? Go change them!”

“Yes, Mr. Carter.” Jesse Ricewater, the assistant servant, hurried to go back to his room to change his pants.

Carter shouted again, “Mrs. Mason, ask Mrs. Abby to prepare the desserts, the tea, and the cookies. Also, make sure the ingredients are ready. There will be people that his lordship has to entertain in person.”

“You mean other nobles are coming?”

“Of course. You know how important the black tulip is. Maybe Mr. Levis or Mr. Lytton is protecting the elves of the family on the trip to assimilate the black tulip. They are both important. We must not embarrass his lordship. There will also be Thomas’ peers.”

He was referring to the valets of the nobles.

Everybody got busy. Very soon, the servants, led by Carter, stood at both sides of the gate and waited for the honorable guests.
