A new Viscount came to lomine, and the relationship with soma hastin, the well deserved king of lomine, soon spread throughout the circle of rich businessmen and nobles in lomine.
I have to say, these guys are all very good at turning the wheel.
A day ago, when I heard that the Viscount Sean had a conflict with the yeros family, many people were in the state of watching a good play. This can be seen by many people peeping in the dark when Sean left the tavern that day. But unexpectedly, just one day later, the whole circle of luomingen immediately turned the wind, and even many people sent invitations to Sean to invite him to a dinner or an activity in the salon area.
Sean naturally shirked all these invitations with excuses.
At present, he focuses all his attention on Hastings manor. He has no time to deal with these nutritious entertainment. Besides, these people are nobles of the kingdom of dabion, or there are no honor nobles on the ground. Once the war between the Principality of lane and the kingdom of dabion breaks out completely, these nobles are no different from civilians. Even in some countries, once a war breaks out, they want to take off their noble names.
Because in the slave market, there is no difference between honorary nobility and local nobility. As long as there is a title of nobility, it will suffer more humiliation.
However, although the Principality of Lane also retains slavery, it is not based on slavery as in other countries, so there are not many slaves in the principality. However, in this way, once a war breaks out in the Principality of lane, there will be no slave army to act as cannon fodder that consumes the enemy's combat power. Therefore, most of the war losses that need to be borne during the war are borne by the private soldiers of the nobles.
Sean did not intend to have any friendship with these honorary nobles. Of course, it was impossible to go to the banquet. But the subtle thing is that even if these people know that Sean has refused their invitation, they don't feel humiliated at all - the rich businessmen can say that after all, they are still civilians, and the nobles are willing to go to dinner. They think highly of them, but there are several nobles who are no less than Sean, There is even a man who is taller than Domingo hastin in terms of title alone.
Marquis yeres cassain.
The Marquis is trying to transform into a local aristocrat. Once the transformation is successful, his title status will immediately begin to rise. In a sense, he can even be on an equal footing with a powerful count such as Domingo hastin.
At present, there are rumors in the kingdom of dabion that the Marquis has successfully established the relationship with the nugus family, and the nugus family is happy to have one more vassal to his Marquis family, so they are trying to make arrangements for yeles kassain. It is precisely because of this relationship of nugus that Marquis yeres cassain was invited by the Hastings family to visit tinguin. During this period, Qazi has been arranging relevant matters for the marquis.
In principle, the Marquis invited Sean. If Sean didn't attend, he would be ashamed. After all, his title and status far exceeded Sean's Viscount title - in the aristocratic circle, the friendship between the two families may take generations of efforts, but if it was the friendship between the two families, Then it is likely that it is only because the invitation to a party is rejected.
Moreover, the Marquis is now in lomine, but almost second only to soma. After all, it is almost certain that the nugus family can spread the news of supporting the marquis in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital. Therefore, these honorary nobles and businessmen in lomine should also be careful to please the great man in the future.
Because Sean was probably offending the Marquis when he refused the Marquis's invitation.
But Sean was not from the kingdom of dabion. Of course he didn't care. But when he really met the Marquis, Sean felt inexplicably cold, because he couldn't see any anger or resentment on the Marquis's face. The other party even took the initiative to greet himself with a smile.
"Viscount Fran, you are young and promising." Marquis yeres greeted Sean with a smile.
Marquis yeres cassain is a middle-aged man over 50. Strictly speaking, it can even be regarded as stepping into the ranks of the elderly.
However, although the Marquis of yeles cassain has silver hair, it gives Sean the feeling of being a boy with white hair, especially his eyes are not muddy at all, but full of wisdom unique to the old man. Moreover, the dress he was wearing was not the kind of dress style often worn by nobles, but a loose robe often worn by magicians. If he took another wand and wore a magician's pointed hat, it was said that his magicians were believed.
Sean understood the noble etiquette of saying hello to Marquis yeres. He also said hello to each other, but so far, it was obvious that he didn't mean to talk too deeply.
Such a move, even in the aristocratic circle, can be regarded as an expression of extreme arrogance.
Naturally, Sean's imaginary cold hum came out, but to Sean's surprise, it was not the Marquis of yeres cassain himself who made the cold hum, but the young woman standing next to yeres cassain.
The woman had long black hair, and her face was not particularly beautiful. At least in front of Sean, who was used to Cecilia and had seen beauty like Elizabeth, the woman's face was not so exquisite. But her icy appearance and the awe inspiring momentum with this cold hum made Sean think of shefanio. For a moment, Sean even thought this man was shefanio's sister.
Of course, only temperament.
"Don't be presumptuous." Marquis yeres turned his head, raised his face and gave a soft rebuke.
"Grandpa!" The woman looked at the Marquis of yeles with an unbelievable face. Because of being reprimanded, the cold breath on the woman suddenly disintegrated, but showed a kind of grievance like a little woman.
"I'm really sorry to make Viscount Fran laugh." Marquis yeres ignored his granddaughter, but turned to Sean and explained with a smile, "this is my granddaughter, Christina, who has been spoiled since childhood. I hope Viscount Fran won't be surprised."
"No." Sean said with a smile, but his eyes turned casually to another person on the court.
Kazi.
Baron soma Hastings, private secretary of the Lord of lomine.
Seeing Sean's eyes, Qazi saluted respectfully. His words and deeds could be compiled into a servant textbook, and there was nothing to be picky about. Especially even at this moment, he also has an awe inspiring momentum, because he knows that the person he represents at the moment is soma hastin, so if he does anything impolite, not only he, but even soma hastin will be dragged into the water.
This is the first time Sean has met a person who is so calm that he has almost no feelings. He is like a robot.
After paying a salute to Sean, Qazi said, "Lord soma should have accompanied you to visit Hastings manor today, but because the Lord has something temporary, he can't come, so he invited Lord Marquis of yeles to accompany you."
Sean raised his eyebrows.
However, although this action was very obscure, it was still captured by Qazi. However, because Sean was facing Qazi, only Qazi saw Sean's action, and yeles didn't see it. However, with Kazi's intelligence, he certainly wouldn't say such a thing. He just thought that Sean felt that such an arrangement was not respectful enough for him, so he opened his mouth and explained: "Lord Marquis yeres is a regular guest of Hastings manor, and recently, Lord Marquis also lives in the manor and is very familiar with everything about the manor, Even the members of the Hastings family in the manor are not more familiar with the manor than the marquis. "
Qazi's words are very artistic. On the one hand, they raise the status of yeles kassain, which is like saying that he is the owner of Hastings manor. On the other hand, they highlight that if a marquis accompanies Sean to visit Hastings manor, Sean also has a lot of face. In a simple sentence, he flattered two people at the same time, which made Sean pay more attention to Qazi.
Now that he had said all this, Sean certainly wouldn't be ignorant, so naturally he readily agreed to the arrangement. Qazi obviously just acted as an introducer. When he was sure that Sean would not have any aversion, he immediately left and returned to lomine. From this point, it can really be seen that soma really had something, not just as an excuse.
Just, will Sean feel disgusted without the company of his real master?
Obviously not.
He's just showing a sense of dissatisfaction. In fact, Sean doesn't feel dissatisfied at all. Because if soma took Sean to visit Hastings manor, there would certainly be many places that were not allowed to enter, but now if someone else came to accompany Sean to visit, these so-called restricted areas naturally did not exist. Maybe even yeles was also interested in these places, Otherwise, how could a marquis who was about to become a local nobleman come to be his Viscount's guide?
This is completely an illegitimate thing.
"I hope we can get along well today." Yelles smiled and said to Sean.
"I hope so, too." Sean responded with the same smile.
"Wait!"
However, just as the crowd was about to enter Hastings manor, Christina casain, the granddaughter of Marquis yeres, suddenly shouted. All of them turned around and looked at Christina. They didn't understand why Christina, who had behaved well after being scolded by yeles, would suddenly shout at this time.
"Viscount Fran dumoy." Christina said, taking off the white glove on her left hand.
When Sean saw this move, he frowned slightly and groaned in his heart: this crazy woman, shouldn't it be
Before Sean could finish thinking, Christina had thrown the glove directly into Sean's face: "I'm going to duel with you!"
For a moment, the faces of Alfred, Arnold and Marquis yeres immediately became very wonderful.
However, the Marquis of yeres had a headache on his face, while Alfred and anno looked a little strange.
At a glance, the woman named Christina can see that she has just stabilized in the upper silver realm, and no matter how Sean looks, it is obvious that she is at the peak of the upper silver. Who gave the woman the courage to challenge Sean?
