Chapter 163

The riverside of the Capital where wide water flows gently.

Clerivan, standing a little higher, looked down at the nobles gathered at the banquet hall with a cheerful face.

Now, when preparing for the banquet, there was no need to worry about what would happen if the invitees didn't come.

When it comes to Pellet Corporation's banquet, most of the people tried to attend with invitations from others.

As such, the influence of the name Clerivan Pellet in the aristocratic society was great.

Clerivan Pellet, the illegitimate son of the famous Romassie Dillard who had to hide in the shadows, was nowhere now.

He was just Clerivan Pellet of the Pellet Corporation and stood tall over the nobles of Lambrew Empire.

"And all of this is thanks to Lady Florentia."

He didn't even want to imagine.

What life would have been like if I hadn't met the light of Florentia Lombardy?

Just thinking about it made him dizzy.

Clerivan's gaze finally ran into Florentia, a little far away.

Clerivan shook his head secretly.

Then she greeted Clerivan with a beautiful face and a smile.

And pointed to the entrance of the banquet hall with a wink.

As he looked over there quickly, he saw Lulak and Romassie Dillard, who had just arrived at the banquet hall.

Although it seems to be enjoying the feast leisurely, Florentia was already fully aware of the movements of all the important figures.

Clerivan raised his hand slightly above his chest to tell her to leave it to him and hurried up to Lulak.

"Here you are, Lord."

"Ah, Clerivan. It's a very beautiful banquet today. It's no waste of the word Pellet."

Lulak laughed, genuinely pleased.

"I'm flattered."

Then Clerivan looked at Romassie beside Lulak.

"It's been a long time, Lord of Lombardy's Top."

It was a calm and perfectly courteous greeting to others.

Clerivan no longer suffers from seeing Romassie Dillard.

This was also a change after meeting Florentia.

"It's a banquet prepared by Lady Florentia, and I can't miss it."

Romassie Dillard said so and looked at Clerivan.

He was already speculated that this banquet was not the only one Florentia had prepared.

Romassie Dillard was one of the few people who knew who the real owner of Pellet Corporation was.

"You've been taking care of our Tia lately, haven't you?"

Lulak didn't hate it, but looked at Romassie and said.

"Haha, did I?"

The prickly Romassie answered quickly.

"She's a great person, isn't she? She's still young, but she's as talented as anyone else. It's like I'm looking at the Lord when I was young."

"Hmm? Is it?"

Lulak opened his eyes round and soon laughed loudly.

"Yes, our Tia does look a bit like me! Yes!"

However, there was a lingering feeling behind a big smile.

Lulak nodded for a moment and thought about something before tapping Clerivan on the shoulder.

"I won't hold any more busy people. Then see you later."

"Yes, Lord."

Clerivan greeted Lulak politely as he walked into the banquet hall.

Afterward, as he greeted the people arriving at the banquet hall one after another, Clerivan kept his eyes on Lulak.

And finally, he was seeing Lulak greeted by another family who comes late.

Having confirmed it, Clerivan stepped toward the podium of the banquet hall.

"Sir Clerivan."

Gallahan and Avinox Luman, who were talking near the podium, looked at Clerivan.

Both of them looked nervous.

"We're all set. Will you be all right?"

Gallahan forced himself to smile at Clerivan's question.

Avinox also took a short deep breath and nodded.

Clerivan tapped the two on the shoulder just like Lulak did and climbed up to the podium.

That's all.

But, the sound of conversations from people in the banquet hall stopped and the music also stopped.

Clerivan's face, as people looked up, had a distinctive confident smile.

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for your precious time."

Clerivan said, slowly scanning the crowd.

"Now, let's start the feast in earnest."

"A full-fledged banquet?"

"What else is there?"

People buzzed around, looking back at each other.

Clerivan looked at the crowd for a moment as if he enjoyed such a reaction, then smiled and pointed to the river.

Just in time, a large ship was slowly showing up.

"I'll take you on the ship."

The nobles are just a mess.

It was excitement and cheers.

When the splendidly lit ship anchored safely at the pier by the river, he tried to get on the ship.

There were many people who saw a ship for the first time in their lives.

But at first, they were a little scared, but they were as excited as children.

As people began to the ship one by one, music began to flow on the ship.

Unlike the music that had been flowing before, the faster and more reddish song was an Imperial reinterpretation of Eastern folk songs.+

The liquor offered has also changed.

Red wine was served on the ground, but sparkling champagne and dry white wine were in people's hands on the ship.

It was to match the food.

"What's this?"

"It is a dish cooked by boiling seafood, a specialty of the Eastern part, in a citrus sauce."

The eyes of those who carefully tasted the food were wide open at the recommendation of the employees.

"Delicious!"
