503 Banquet for nobles (3)
As soon as I gave them permission, the nobles didn't hold back at all as they went forward to talk to the elves and dwarves.
But they also had their image to think about, so no one ran.
Instead, all of them just walked as fast as they could.
When I saw this, it really reminded me of a certain event that I had gone to back on Earth...
It was an event where people sold doujinshis that they created, a place for people to share their ideas and creativity with one another.
It was also a place where people's desires gathered, so there were many people that came to buy these things.
But there was a rule in that convention center where people were not allowed to run, so to make up for that, they all walked as fast as they could without running.
This was just like that place where the nobles were the ones that wanted to buy the goods and the elves and dwarves were the ones selling the goods...No, it was better to say that the elves and dwarves were the goods.
The nobles surrounded them in an instant, but they didn't push each other to get to the elves and dwarves.
They knew that doing this would be a bad show of manners and would scare the elves off, so they naturally wouldn't do something like this.
They would act dignified as the nobles they were...
It was just too bad that they didn't know that this was what the elves and dwarves hated the most. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
They hated this kind of stuffy and stiff kind of talking that made them feel suppressed.
So they didn't respond well to this.
The only reason that they even bothered to talk to these nobles was because of me.
I had asked them to do this for me as a form of distraction for the nobles.
Or rather, I wanted to use them to distract Viscount Teomold.
While they were all busy with this, Rose and Haley came over to find me.
When they came over, I asked, "Is everything prepared?"
They both nodded in response before Rose said, "It's all ready, we're just waiting for you."
I gave a nod back before turning to look at the nobles talking to the elves and dwarves.
The way that I was looking at them, it was as if I was making sure that the ones that I wanted to see were all here.
That was because other than Viscount Teomold, there were others that had colluded with him on this matter.
If I wanted to take care of all of this, I wanted to make sure that I caught them all in a single net so that none of them escaped.
As I looked at them, I couldn't help knitting my brows.
That was because there was one of Viscount Teomold's followers that was missing.
I couldn't help feeling worried when I saw this.
Could it be that he was smarter than I gave him credit for and he had sent that follower to take care of some things?
Could it be that he was also preparing just in case this was a trap?
I turned to Rose and said, "Tell everyone to wait, we might need to..."
Before I could finish, the doors opened and that last follower came in.
When he did, he came over to me with an awkward look and said, "Count Zwein, I'm sorry for being late. My carriage's wheel broke on the way here and it took a while to repair it."
As I looked at this person, my lips couldn't help twitching.
Behind me, I could hear Rose and Haley holding back their laughter... The Burger King is terrifying as a mask.
