Chapter 87 (2/2)

When passing by the old man, Lauren clearly noticed a bit of ridicule on each other's face, but it was better to hide it.

Obviously, these Sena people were not as obedient as they showed to the fact that Reuven Fred took the Earl title.

The banquet was arranged in the hall of the castle. On the hot fireplace, a whole piece of barbecue was ”Zizi” emitting oil flowers. More than a dozen middle-aged people in luxurious clothes sat around the long table, looking at the young count sitting in the front with excitement and tension.

Servants bring plates full of delicious food to the table, stewed pork and onions, bread decorated with mountain treasures, as well as all kinds of game and colorful berries. They look very attractive alone.

Everyone here has no appetite, or pretends to be calm with a wine glass, or looks around restlessly without even looking at the delicious food on the table.

”Please take your seats and thank the Holy Cross for giving us such rich food!” Lu Wen stood up with a bright smile on his face and first raised his glass: ”long live shenlinbao, long live the Principality of lottel -!”

”Long live shenlinbao, long live the Principality of lottel -!!!”

No matter whether it is sincere or not, all the nobles here also hold up their wine glasses and cater together, with either reluctantly or sincere smiles on their faces.

After drinking the first glass of wine, the young count put down the glass and knocked on it. The understanding nobles quieted down and waited for his next speech.

”As you all know, although my mother was born here, I really came to Shenlin castle for the first time. Many people and things are strange, so I'm curious.” Lu Wen spread his hands: ”for example... Who is responsible for the army and defense of Shenlin castle?”

”It's Baron puck!” the old man named Barry Senna quickly stood up and enthusiastically introduced ruwen: ”he has been the military manager of shenlinbao for 15 years and has always been loyal.”

A fat man who looked very enthusiastic stood up from his seat, bowed humbly and smiled flatteringly at Lu Wen.

”Really, it's been fifteen years?” Lu Wen smiled. ”It's too long. From tomorrow on, let Baron puck have a lot of rest. Don't worry about these troubles!”

”Alas?” the smile on the fat man's face suddenly solidified, and his sausage like lips trembled a few times: ”you, don't you mean...”

”Didn't you hear me clearly? Then I'll say it again.” the count's expression immediately cooled down: ”from now on, as the count of shenlinbao, I will remove Baron puck from all his positions in shenlinbao and let my guard captain Sir Aaron be the new military manager!”

”Why?!” the fat man with sweat on his face shouted directly, and the fat on his body was shaking: ”I have always been loyal to Fred and Senna families, and have never done anything wrong!”

”Why, you dare to ask why?” Lu Wen sneered: ”on my way here, a dozen ogres crossed the defense line of Shenlin castle and rushed into the hinterland of the Duke's leadership - if it weren't for the man behind me, you would only see my body now. Drag this derelict bastard out, and I don't want to see him again!”

The two knights stepped forward, took Baron puck, who was about to become a dehydrated fat pig, from his chair and left the hall directly.

The nobles in the banquet could no longer see any smile on their faces, and sat in their positions trembling and dared not move. Even Barry senna, who once laughed at Reuven, stood stiff under the threat of the Knights around him, with his teeth trembling on his aging face.

Lorraine, standing behind the count, watched silently, as if he were enjoying a wonderful play, with a slight smile on his mouth.
