A group of people came and went in a great way.
In addition to Ailian's parents and uncle's family, the rest are almost distant relatives who are dependent on their two families. It is very common to go to aristocratic relatives to make a living, whether in the kingdom of Faust or the Empire of omor.
Several servants took Locke's luggage. In the luggage, in addition to Eileen and his personal belongings, there were also gifts bought by the two "joint venture" for their relatives. After all, Locke came to see the "female parent" for the first time. It was inappropriate not to bring anything.
Eileen's parents are very happy with Locke's behavior of buying gifts. Now there are few people like him who are polite and have temperament.
Locke doesn't know any temperament. It's all due to the subtle influence of his accumulated relationship with Angelina and grace. Let alone, at least after arriving at the omor Empire, no one knows Locke and civilians.
As for those gifts, Locke can only say that it didn't cost him a penny. Aileen bought them on her own.
The uncle Bessel took a deep look. Locke, who had a good conversation with Elaine's parents, didn't say much. The old man followed behind the crowd.
The place to stay is the castle of Ailian's family. Although this is only a small town, the castle in the middle of the town is exquisitely decorated.
This is a castle with a strong cultural flavor of the Amor Empire, which is quite different from the forstein castle.
Locke unconsciously compared the castle with Baron kaiduoqi's castle, which he visited in the kingdom of faustan, and came to the conclusion that each has its own advantages. Although the rough and concise castle is suitable for him, it seems that it is also good to live in a more comfortable castle.
The dinner was held in the castle. Elaine's parents seemed to want to give their daughter a grand welcome party. On the other hand, they didn't want to neglect Locke.
The singing and dancing party salon, together with the cakes and tea sent by the endless stream of maids, did not make Locke's mood undulate too much. Whether it was a party in King Foster's capital or in Joaquin's house, it was more than one level higher than this.
However, Locke prefers the pleasant atmosphere here, because there are no nobles to bother him, and he doesn't need hard entertainment. He can eat and drink his own.
"Young man, do you often attend such parties?" Baron Bessel came with a glass of rum.
"Yes, but I prefer the relaxed atmosphere today." Locke raised his wine and touched the glass with the old man.
The characteristic wine of the omore empire is rum. Locke likes sweeter wine. It would be better if there is wheat wine. Unfortunately, it is exclusive to civilians. Wheat wine is rarely seen at such noble gatherings.
The emergence of wheat wine represents that the host of this banquet is a poor aristocrat, which will cause the ridicule of other aristocrats.
The white rum and the red wine glass collided in the air. The old and the young looked at each other with a smile and killed the wine in their hands.
Locke can stay here and watch the wind, but Baron Bissell can't. today, in addition to his two nobles and his brother, many lords and noble knights in the territory have also come. What's more, barons who come to the party from the next territory need their brothers to accompany them one by one.
Nodding at Locke, Baron Bessel left with his glass.
Looking at the old man talking and laughing among the nobles, Locke unconsciously thought of the Baron kaiduoqi of the kingdom of faustan, his former boss. They are all the same kind of people, Locke sighed.
"Why are you sitting here?" Ailian in a white dress appeared in front of Locke, "don't you know the young talents here?" Eileen's mouth was more teasing.
Locke was stunned at first, then shook his head and said, "I'm not interested". He saw Elaine wearing this dress for the first time. He didn't pay attention to it for a while.
Unlike Locke's low-key sitting here, Eileen is one of the focuses tonight. Before she said a few words with Locke, several groups of noble youths came to chat up.
Looking at the way Ailian talked to them, they should be familiar, mostly the children of nobles nearby.
Although Locke had tried his best to keep a low profile, he still attracted the eyes of the people around him. They wanted to see what characteristics the young man who came down from the same carriage with Ailian had.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed. Locke can't be ugly, but he can't hang up with handsome. If he has to say his advantages, Locke's eyes are very bright, giving people a feeling of spiritual sufficiency. Moreover, with the relationship of joining the army all year round, Locke's physique is stronger than these noble young people.
The party still maintained a more easygoing atmosphere. The gathering of local nobles was not as good as God's. There were always rules. Locke was more relaxed and comfortable from the beginning of the party.
until...
"Oh, I heard that Miss Ailian has returned from the imperial capital!" A middle-aged male voice came from the door of the banquet hall. A middle-aged noble with a cold color and an eagle nose strode in.
Behind him was a thin young man. Behind them were a lot of nobles. Judging by the number, there were more nobles than those present at the banquet.
The originally empty banquet hall suddenly became a lot crowded, and the atmosphere became a lot strange.
"Viscount Simak, welcome!" Baron Bessel put down his rum and gave a cordial hug to Viscount Simak.
Then he smiled at the thin young man next to him, "this is willon. I haven't seen him for a long time. He has grown tall and the young man is a lot stronger." Then he patted the young man on the shoulder.
Viscount Simak had heard that Ailian had returned, so he took his son to recognize his future wife. Unexpectedly, on the way, he heard that there was another young man who came back with Ailian. Viscount Simak had a bad hunch at that time.
Moreover, it was also heard that the young man came back in the same carriage with Ailian, and Viscount Simak's face became even darker. Not all the nobles behind him were the little nobles under his leadership. Many came to join the fun and see his Viscount's jokes.
It was said that he would not hit the smiling face. Baron Bessel smiled and talked to his father and son, and Viscount Simak was not good. He always had a gloomy face.
There were too many nobles around. Viscount Simak looked at the banquet hall for a long time and didn't see Locke sitting by the window.
"Uncle Bissell, where's Elaine? Show me." The thin man said to the silver haired old man. Although he hasn't seen Eileen, he has long admired the imperial capital top student who came out of John Thurston and has long wanted to kiss Fangze.
"Elaine, come and meet willon." The silver haired old man smiled and waved to Ailian standing behind his parents.
After Elaine reluctantly walked over, viscount Simak inadvertently asked, "the classmate of Elaine from the imperial capital, also bring it out for me to meet. I haven't seen the second student of Princeton Royal College except Elaine."
Viscount Simak's words are still in decline. The nobles who were originally in the banquet hall unconsciously look at Locke sitting by the window. Of course, viscount Simak's words are also heard by Locke. At this time, he must stand up.
"Hello!" Standing up, Locke came from a distance by the window and reached out to greet the Viscount Simak.
Viscount Simak didn't answer Locke's hand, but narrowed his eyes for a long time before he said, "are you a noble?!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone was surprised!
