Chapter 36: 36 - 036 Banquet 1

Chapter 36 036 Banquet 1

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The day of the Surdo’s family’s banquet arrived as scheduled.

As night fell, the castle in the center of Ice Rock City was packed with people. A large number of nobles gathered to attend the banquet.

It had to be said that the timing chosen by Cynthia Surdo was extremely ingenious.

Originally, with the influence of the Surdo family, it was impossible to invite such a large number of nobles to attend the banquet.

However, at this time, the troll army had withdrawn from the Northern Territory, and the lost castles had been taken back without much difficulty. Although it was a little self-deceptive, it could still be considered a victory.

Moreover, the only two marquises in the Northern Territory were coincidentally in Ice Rock City.

Under such circumstances, unless Duke Saint Hilde personally held a banquet in Winter City, Ice Rock City tonight was destined to become the focal point of the Northern Territory.

The banquet started at six o’clock, and Colin arrived at half-past five.

He came alone.

This was a high-level aristocratic banquet, so it was naturally impossible for the guests to bring in civilian servants.

Knight Raymond was barely qualified to attend, but he had been sent back to Graycastle by Colin to report the news.

Colin felt that he could now be considered someone who could establish a relationship with the two heirs of the St. Hilde family. Presumably, Earl Oman would not dare to act too ruthlessly either.

Therefore, there was no need for him to cower and hide in the dark anymore.

Thus, Colin sent Raymond back to inform the family, so that the family would not cause trouble thinking that he was dead.

“I’m sorry, sir. Please show me the invitation letter.”

When the guard at the castle gate saw Colin, his expression immediately became exceptionally interesting. He hurriedly stopped him and asked.

Colin took out the invitation letter and handed it to the guard.

The guard quickly took it and carefully checked it. After confirming that it was correct, he had no choice but to let him in. “Sorry, Sir Colin, I’ve troubled you. Welcome to the banquet! Please come in!”

Only then did Colin slowly enter the castle.

On the way, when everyone saw him, they all looked at him in surprise. Many of them even secretly pointed and whispered about something

Colin did not care about the stares. He walked to the banquet hall with his head held high.

“Sir Knight, please wait!”

Unfortunately, he was stopped by the butler of the Surdo family.

The butler recognized the badge of the Angele family and smiled. “You’re Knight Colin, right?”

“Yes.” Colin crossed his arms and was considering smashing the fake smile on the butler’s face.

Perhaps he had heard of Colin’s fame, or perhaps he sensed danger, the butler took a step back and said, “I’m sorry, Knight Colin, you can’t wear armor to this banquet.”

Yes, Colin could not find a banquet attire, so he simply wore the armor he had just bought.

Logically speaking, this was indeed very rude.

However, Colin was already mentally prepared.

He calmly asked, “Then, what ould I wear?”

“Of course, you should wear a formal attire.” The butler looked at him as if he were a fool.

He had even begun to signal the guards beside him with his eyes, preparing to chase this rude knight out of the castle.

“Formal attire?” Colin sneered. Suddenly, he heavily punched his breastplate and said loudly, “The Northern Territory has just suffered such a great humiliation, and the troll army has just retreated. Moreover, they returned unscathed with a full load of goods!

“How dare you still dress up and dance here?

“What about our counterattack?

“What about our revenge?

“What about our bloodlust? “Why aren’t we doing anything?

“I’m just an insignificant knight. I don’t have the right to question the decisions of the Lords!

“But..!

“I feel bad for my father, Baron Angele, who died on the frontlines!

“As his only son, I swear that I will not take off my armor until I get my revenge!”

The crowd was silent!

Colin’s words acted like a pause button.

Everyone was staring at the strange man in armor.

Especially the old butler of the Surdo family.

His brain was still ringing.

He was not sure whether he was shocked by Colin’s loud voice or by what Colin said.

At this time, he also knew that he could not chase this disrespectful knight out of the castle as they planned.

Colin was indeed disrespectful, but he was in the right!

Strictly speaking, this banquet was indeed a bit of a whitewash.

The lords and nobles who easily recovered their lost territories urgently needed a chance to cover up their past failures and publicize their current victory.

Therefore, this banquet to celebrate their “victory” appeared under the impetus of all parties.

However, they did not expect that someone would step out and ruthlessly tear their facade apart and rub it in the faces of the nobles.

Cynthia Surdo was also in the crowd.

She wanted to see Colin, this annoying fellow, being chased out of the castle with her own eyes, but she did not expect that she would see this scene.

Cynthia gritted her teeth so hard that she nearly shattered them, but at the same time, a trace of regret emerged in her heart.

This banquet was supposed to be a great opportunity for the Surdo family to become famous, but now, it seemed to have become a joke.

It was all because of one person.

An originally insignificant person.

A person who she wanted to humiliate with some petty tricks.

Perhaps, she should not have taken this unnecessary move…

Colin did not know that Cynthia, that crazy woman, was also watching him. He still had that self-righteous look on his face.

He ignored the gazes from the surroundings and strode forward as if there was no one else around.

Bang!

Colin knocked into the old butler who was still in a daze.

However, the old butler did not dare to retaliate anymore.

He watched helplessly as Colin, wearing that pure white armor, strode into the banquet hall.

There were quite a number of participating nobles in the hall. When they saw Colin walking into the hall, everyone’s expressions were different. They whispered to each other and started animated discussions.

Colin’s loud voice had already transmitted those heroic words into the banquet hall.

Therefore, he naturally became the temporary focus of the banquet.

However, no one came forward to him.

Clearly, Colin was ostracized, but he did not care at all.

His heart was even filled with joy.

After all, this was a banquet that the crazy woman had planned in every possible way. She had originally wanted to make the Surdo family famous, but now, it seemed that it had been completely destroyed by Colin’s words.

There was still some time before the banquet officially began.

Therefore, the nobles who participated in the banquet were still arriving one after another.

The newcomers clearly felt that the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little off. They only found out that it was all Colin’s doing after asking around.

Therefore, more and more gazes were cast on Colin.

Colin also felt a little annoyed, so he simply closed his eyes.

As time passed, the status of the people arriving became higher and higher.

That was until Marquis Charles appeared at the door of the hall.

Then, the banquet suddenly became quiet again.

This was not because of how high the prestige of Marquis Charles was among the nobles. On the contrary, because of the previous series of tragic defeats, his reputation among the northern nobles was horrifyingly low now.

However, his appearance still made the whole place quiet again.

That was because he was also wearing a suit of armor!
