Chapter 169 - Chapter 169: Chapter 162 Viscount Family! (2/2)
But Darren knew that the so-called “transferable invitations” were fake; how could those not invited be let in? Yet indeed, there were fools who believed in it.
He slipped out of the banquet skillfully, and a tall, beautiful girl with gray hair stood outside, watching Darren coldly and said, “Why haven’t you seen me for the past two months?”
Darren sighed and said, “Because I’m about to enter an arranged marriage, we have to part ways. Wasn’t I clear in the letter?”
“Who? Which family’s girl are you marrying? Tell me clearly!”
The gray-haired girl’s father was also a very wealthy knight. She had been pampered by servants since she was little, and men from other knight clans also did their best to please her, with some even reciting love poems to her every week for a year.
The gray-haired girl had never suffered the humiliation of rejection. Unable to help herself, she glared at Darren with her chest puffed out in indignation.
“The Oder family, that Iron Blood clan.”
As soon as Darren finished speaking calmly, the gray-haired girl took a step back, her eyes showing a hint of conceding to difficulties, yet she still bit her lip, not wanting to leave Darren.
He might one day be the heir to the Fischer family, and everyone knew what that meant.
She reached out and grabbed Darren’s arm. Darren initially wanted to shake her off, but after thinking about it, he didn’t.
A thought crossed his mind that apart from a few elders in the Fischer family, almost all the nobility had lovers. Why couldn’t he have one?
All of a sudden, Darren held the girl and started kissing her. He had completely mastered the Power of “Scapegoat,” and he decided to visit his ex-girlfriend again in a few days, or perhaps he could start by talking to her avaricious father.
At the banquet, everyone suddenly learned of another very surprising piece of news!
The Romann family had arrived!
“The Romann family?”
Acting Bishop Zayne raised an eyebrow. The Frosac family had a decent relationship with the Romann family, while the relationship between the Tempest Church and the Romann family was not that good, and he quickly contemplated what attitude and stance he should adopt in dealing with the Romann family’s people.
Everyone present was aware of the Romann family’s status—as top-tier nobles just below the Royal Family, their every word and deed could determine the life and death of countless people.
“Why would the Romann family come here?”
“Have you forgotten the relationship between the Fischer family and the Romann family?”
“My God, is that really not a rumor?”
The faces of many barons changed color, their hearts shook, and they wondered if the news was indeed not a rumor!
Byrne was also surprised, because the Romann family hadn’t indicated any intention to come beforehand, and he hadn’t sent an invitation to them, considering they were far away in another province. So, this was essentially the Romann family showing up uninvited.
“A very strange occurrence, one that clearly doesn’t conform to the visiting etiquette among nobility, especially by those who, being high nobles, should value it even more.”
In the eyes of all those watching, a young Amos Romann walked in.
His youthful and handsome face shone under the light, with golden hair reflecting a faint glow that bestowed a mysterious and charming allure, wearing a perfectly tailored dark blue tailcoat with a carefully matched bow tie adorning his neck.
“Blazing Fire” Amos Romann, the most outstanding of Duke Black Iron’s great-grandchildren, was regarded as a genius, having reached the Metamorphosis Phase at a young age, and was very likely to become the successor of the Romann family.
Of course, Extraordinary nobles who could reach the Metamorphosis Phase were not few in the Ten Great Pillars clans, but the number who eventually became Monarch powerful experts was actually very small.
Many so-called geniuses never lived to that time, or ultimately could not break through that “gate” to step into the “palace.”
Byrne quickly greeted him with a smile, saying warmly, “Mr. Amos, welcome. I didn’t expect your sudden visit, I apologize for not making the proper preparations to receive you!”
Amos Romann shook his head gently and immediately said:
“It’s nothing. Those tedious etiquette rules can’t constrain me. I came here just to see for myself the Extraordinary who reached high-level Transmutation in his twenties, despite being from a small clan—who exactly is he?”
He gazed at everyone before raising his voice and adding.
“My visit does not represent any opinion of the Romann family, so let’s not read too much into it!”
Then, at the banquet, every person who wanted to speak with Amos Romann was rejected by a wave of his hand, as he quickly made his way toward Chris with the silver hair.
Everyone exchanged glances, smiling superficially, feeling dissatisfaction deep inside, but they didn’t dare to voice any objections outwardly.
Byrne smiled, feeling that “Blazing Fire” Amos Romann had a rather straightforward character. It seemed like there were no wrong nicknames, only mistakenly called names.
Just then, Byrne learned from a servant that more of the Romann family had arrived!
“Ah?”
He paused for a moment, then quickly realized that the “Blazing Fire” Amos Romann was indeed someone who had come covertly, and his attitude did not represent the Romann family’s stance.
But now, the coming of the Romann family’s member would likely represent the true attitude of their family, and he had to be even more attentive than before!
