29, banquet
"Lord...Your Highness Sean." Windsor performed a knight's salute towards Sean, and the armor on his body made a "squeaking" sound when it rubbed against him.
Sean looked at Windsor and naturally noticed the armor he was wearing given by the system.
So Sean said: "Wendsor, why are you wearing armor? Go change your clothes and go to the dinner party with me later."
Windsor hesitated after hearing Sean's words and said, "But, I just put on this armor just to protect you on the way to the banquet."
"Well, you'd better change into ordinary clothes. The one you wore at noon is fine. I'm also going to take you into the Earl of River's castle for a dinner party." Sean replied.
Before Windsor could answer, Sean heard the objections from the butler Henry behind him: "Your Highness Sean, no!"
"What's wrong?" Sean turned and looked at Henry, the butler.
"The people attending the dinner tonight are all nobles or powerful men. Windsor is just a commoner, so it's not appropriate to bring him along!" Butler Henry explained.
"I also think, Lord... Your Highness Sean, I'd better stay outside the castle and wait for you." Windsor also said.
Windsor didn't really want to attend the dinner. After all, he just came to this world today and was still not used to it.
He doesn't know much of the common sense in this world. What should he do if he lets it slip?
...
"I took you to the dinner because I have something important to ask you... As for the question of whether I can bring you." Sean turned to look at the butler Henry, "I want to ask you a question, tonight Lucas (
Will the gold-level warriors beside Earl River) attend the dinner?".
"Of course Lord Lucas will attend." Butler Henry replied.
"Isn't that enough? Why can Earl River lead the strongest warriors in the world, but I can't?"
"This..." Butler Henry was speechless for a moment.
"Go and change clothes." Sean told Windsor, and at the same time he secretly shook his head.
Although the butler Henry is very capable, sometimes he pays too much attention to face.
Now that I am in this situation, why should I care about the face of a noble? It will not be too late to talk about this when I become stronger in the future.
"Okay." After Windsor said, he went to his own room to change clothes (this room was assigned to him by the butler Henry this afternoon).
After giving orders to Windsor, Sean also went back to the room and changed into a more formal dress.
After changing into clothes, Sean took Windsor and the butler Henry to the Earl of River's castle in a carriage.
...
On the way to the castle, Sean was not idle. Instead, he discussed many issues with the butler Henry about recalling the subjects and purchasing supplies, while Windsor sat beside him and listened silently.
However, while listening, Windsor also made several very constructive suggestions, which Sean felt were reliable and he readily adopted them.
After listening to Windsor's suggestions, butler Henry's impression of him changed a lot.
.....
Ten minutes later, Sean's carriage arrived at the gate of the Earl's castle.
At this time, there were many carriages parked in front of the gate of the Earl's Castle. Judging from the level of luxury, they should all belong to the nobles in the city.
William, the steward of the Earl of Rivers, was standing at the gate of the castle greeting guests. When he saw Sean getting off the carriage, William hurriedly came over to greet him.
"Good evening, Your Highness Sean! Nice to see you again!"
"Good evening, William. We meet again."
After the greetings, the butler William asked with concern: "I heard that you were attacked by an assassin at noon today? You were not injured, were you?"
"I was not injured. When I went to the refugee camp at noon today, three bronze-level assassins came, but they were all killed by Matthew.
I heard from Matthew that they are assassins from the Black Hand Brotherhood." Sean replied.
"Black Hand Brotherhood? I heard that they have been operating near the royal capital, but I didn't expect that they actually came to Yohn City.
I received the news that you were attacked this afternoon and wanted to see you, but Henry said that you went to the Magic Guild's library, and I couldn't get in there, so I didn't go to see you. I hope you don't mind!
"Butler William said sincerely.
"It's okay, it's really not easy to get in there." Sean waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind.
"Your Highness Sean, be sure to pay attention to safety on your way to Hetan Town. I will also try my best to help you find out about the Black Hand Brotherhood." Butler William promised.
"Now our master has set up a dinner party in the hall, waiting for you to come in."
"Thank you very much, William Windsor, let's go in."
After saying goodbye to the butler William, Sean took Windsor into the Earl's castle.
When William, the butler, saw that Sean actually brought a person wearing civilian clothes to the dinner, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
However, the butler William did not stop Sean like Henry, but said nothing and continued to greet other guests.
...
Sean took Windsor into Earl River's castle, but on the way to the hall, Sean noticed a strange smell.
Earl River invited many nobles today, and Sean met many of them on the way from the gate to the castle hall.
But the strange thing is that these nobles immediately stayed away from Sean after seeing him, without exception.
It was as if a patient suffering from the Black Death suddenly appeared in the crowd, and everyone ran away, but Sean was like the Black Death patient.
When Sean walked to the corridor outside the castle hall, there were no other nobles within three meters of him. The nobles all stayed away after seeing Sean.
At first, Sean thought the behavior of these nobles was a bit strange. Today, the people he met such as Earl River, Bishop Benjamin, and President Luke did not hide from him. Only these nobles were like this.
But when I think about it, I feel relieved. After all, these nobles in front of me are not as powerful as Earl River, Bishop Benjamin, and President Luke. It may be troublesome to get involved with him.
These nobles avoided him, and Xiao En would not be so hot-tempered as to be cold-hearted, so he stopped talking to these nobles.
Walking in the corridor leading to the hall, Sean could see the layout of the entire hall.
This dinner was actually more like a cocktail party than a dinner party.
In the middle of the hall, on the high platform against the wall, is the main seat of Earl River.
There are several rows of tables on the left side of the main seat. The white tablecloths are filled with all kinds of fragrant delicacies. The food is accompanied by burning candles, blooming flowers, and fine wine.
To the right of the main seat is a dance floor. Around the dance floor, there are already several musicians with instruments ready to play.
At this time, several nobles in formal attire were surrounding the main seat. The Earl of River was sitting on the main seat, chatting and laughing with the nobles.
