Chapter 696 confrontation (and
"Hello, Count Abraham, I pay my highest respect to you."
The nobles passing by and their families saluted Yue Yong one after another. No matter what, the Abraham family, as an earl-level family, had a high enough status in the entire Sambiya.
The Abraham family fled from the Duchy of Flanders to the Lorraine Empire, and Yue Yong handled all the affairs of all the family. The previous head of the family, Pandoragon Abraham, the king of the Duchy of Flanders, was in a slump after experiencing the demise of the country and was usually in a state of cultivation. Therefore, the position of the count should fall on Yue Yong.
"Have the people from Prudens arrived?"
Yue Yong, wearing a long dress, walked towards the ceremony table in the center of the hall, held a fan and covered her mouth to ask the maids beside her. These people were brought from Flander and were her confidants.
"Not yet, it's an arrogant family, our banquet, but everyone has to wait for them... Should we start the paperwork in advance? Before they come..."
"No, the news they are coming has been made public. We don't wait or welcome it, which means we are telling the outside world that we are not in harmony. And it has not been long since. There are still many teams of news agencies outside. If they wait for another half an hour, they won't come yet by nine o'clock. That's not our rudeness, but their rudeness."
There is a limit to being late, which is determined by the status gap. The location of the Prudens family manor is only half an hour away from the Abraham family manor. The dinner officially entered at 7:30, and it officially started at 8:30, and it will not come until 9:00. The outside world will naturally tend toward Abraham.
Bullying foreign families, looking down on the Abraham family, and disdaining the invitations of low-level families. As long as they work a little, these titles will appear on the pages of major newspapers tomorrow. The Prudent family will be the headache at that time.
"What should I do? Do I take the initiative to say hello to someone? But I'm not used to this way of dealing with it, and this... Change it to a drink for me, thank you."
It was clearly the core of this banquet in a sense, but at this time, he was in a state of basically no one to pay attention to. Occasionally, someone came to chat for a few words, and they were all Fimia around him, and without exception, they were all barons or chamber directors of the same not-so-high status.
The banquet was very lively, but there was no one within three meters of the sofa where Kylot was located. This was not a normal situation. It seemed that everyone deliberately ignored him or excluded him in a silent way.
If it were some people with poor psychological endurance, facing this silent exclusion, as the protagonist of the banquet, they would probably suffer a lot of torture in their hearts, but Kellot didn't care. He was what he expected to be able to stay quietly until he received the documents.
"There is nothing to deal with, it's just a group of fencemen. Haha, look at their eager appearance around Mina, if you know that the actual rulers of the Green Tree Islands are being left alone by them, you don't know what their expression would be."
Femiya's eyes swept across everyone around her. She was writing down these faces. She was very dissatisfied with the attitude of these people. Kylot should not be treated like this, and the leader of the Green Tree should be given all respect.
"It seems that it is right to make Mina pretend to be unfamiliar with us. Someone probably spread some news outside that can make these barons and viscounts avoid me like they are avoiding disaster. This can be considered a ban? If an ordinary baron saw this scene, he would be very disappointed and became a baron who no one cares about. Maybe all privileges in the European Shelin area will be cut off. How many people can do this level..."
Pinking the drink handed over by the waiter, some people were moving faster than expected. Not only this dinner, they were ready to give Kellot a blowjob before the banquet, so that he knew who to follow!
"Mr. Gary Prudence is here."
Gary Prudens, the current heir of the Proudence family is of the medium-sized voice, not as good as his brother, but with the acquiescence of the current head of the family, he can already represent the family to attend some less important banquets. Note that the "not so important" here is intriguing. For low-level nobles, being able to invite Gary Prudens is something worth bragging about, while for some high-level nobles, only the arrival of Prudens means not paying attention to the banquet.
The result of the two sides, and what attitude should Abraham show at this time, happy? Doesn’t that mean that they admit that they are inferior nobles and are they honored to invite Prudens?
Unhappy? The first time Prudence sent someone to your banquet, you showed them your face, can you still have fun together in the future?
This is very embarrassing. Kylot does not understand the affairs between the nobles, but it does not prevent him from relying on his outstanding hearing to collect information around him. Since the appearance of Gary Prudence, some less friendly remarks appeared in the crowd around him. Many people expressed their understanding of Gary Prudence's arrival and expressed their joy at the embarrassing scene that Abraham will face in the next... These people are very much looking forward to seeing the Abraham family eating turtles!
The time for the test of Yue Yong was coming. Standing on the stage, she looked through the crowd and saw Gary Prudens, without much expression. She had already imagined this situation. Compared to the indifferent concerns between Kellot and Femia, as a qualified family ruler, she could not retreat at this time.
After walking off the stage and going to greet him in person, a smile appeared on Gary Prudens's face. In his opinion, this was a sign of surrender. A countess greeted him in person. His eyes unscrupulously swept across Yue Yong's snow-white and slender long legs on his chest. This was impolite, but the people around him became "blind" at this time.
"Hello, Mr. Gary Prudence, is this time representing the Proudence family? Didn't anyone else come? I thought this kind of occasion should be better for your brother Sir Van Luntin Prudence, right? After all, this is a gathering between nobles."
Yue Yong's words were like a knife that had just been drawn from the hot iron, and it was penetrated hard into Gary Prudens's chest. The latter's face immediately turned red. The "sir", "brother" and "gatherings among nobles" in Yue Yong's mouth deeply hurt his fragile heart.
It sounds like an ordinary greeting when ordinary people listen to it, isn’t it? In fact, it contains multiple meanings.
First of all, the inheritance of titles between nobles exists, but it is based on the premise that the previous head of the family abdicates, his heirs will inherit the title. So strictly speaking, Gary Prudence was just an ordinary person at this time. He was only able to have such a status because of the Prudence family. Therefore, Yue Yong, who is similar to Gary Prudence, is fully qualified to mock him in his identity as a count.
In addition, Gary Prudence looks glorious, but in fact it can't last long, because the next head of the Proudence family will be selected in the next few years. Is there a high chance of he being selected? Very large! The second largest among all the nominal heirs of the Proudence family! Unfortunately, there is only one position in the head of the family...
His brother Van Luntin Prudens was one year older than him and his eldest son. This condition is not a big problem. The world is not prosperous. The eldest son inherits this set. They pay attention to the family's internal ability. It is logical that they should have the ability to compete? However, Van Luntin Prudens has fully demonstrated his talent and talent as the future head of the Proudence family in recent years. At his twenties, he made contributions to making him the Viscount of the Empire...
Didn't it just that the family helped him run it? Gary Prudens sometimes thinks this way, but the problem is that if he can make those contributions...will the family help him run it?
This...it's very embarrassing.
Van Luntin Prudence is like a mountain pressing against Gary Prudence. Oushelin's nobles all know that the former's name is a taboo in front of the latter, because if nothing unexpected happens, when Van Luntin takes office as the head of the Proudence family, his younger brother will permanently become a less important family representative...
"You! Good... Very good! Moon Yong Abraham, I will remember you."
It feels bad to be humiliated by someone of the same age as him and have no reason to say anything, but Gary Prudens cannot punch him, because what the other party said is largely true, which makes him unable to even say anything to refute.
Yue Yong won the first confrontation between the two sides, and undoubtedly won, but it was only the first confrontation. When people around him saw Gary Prudence being defeated, they would not think of the victory of the Abraham family, but how Abraham would face the family standing behind Gary Prudence in the future. It would be easy to lose face here, and then they might secretly lose much!
The discussion still existed, and the nobles around him looked at him and became cold and questioned without any concealment. Yue Yong felt that she could also feel that the maid around her was very nervous. What was she worried about? It was nothing more than the subsequent revenge of the Proudens family.
But these people have never thought about what she would face if she showed weakness just now? Will the Sambi's high aristocratic circle, including the Prudens family, extend a hand of friendship to her because of her humility? I'm afraid it's not. What's more likely is the increasingly cruel exploitation and suppression!
The strength of the family is absolutely impossible to be obtained by humble begging, and it has to pay a huge price.
The Abraham family has never been a cowardly family.
