Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 26 Baron Barton
At night, darkness covers the sky, but it cannot cover the castle of Pompeii.

Outside the castle, there are many carriages parked, and various family crests are hung on the carriages, which proves that the owners of these carriages are all distinguished persons with names and noble blood.

In addition to the carriages, there are also their own guards.

The castle is brightly lit, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the castle.The male and female servants of Pompey's house came out in full force, busy.

And the guests are all concentrated in the hall.

The hall has a height of one and a half floors and is circular.There is a tall chandelier hanging above, and the snow-white candles on the chandelier are burning.The guests were all gathered in front of the door of the hall, and on the other side was a well-known pianist specially hired by the Pompeii family to play the piano.

In the elegant piano sound, all the guests were listening, even those who were not interested in music pretended to be listening to music.

It is considered impolite to make noise at this time.

And the male and female servants holding plates with wine, biscuits and other snacks on the plate were also careful not to make a sound.

Soon after the music of the piano was finished, the famous pianist stood up and saluted the guests, who clapped their hands and applauded like thunder.

Immediately, it was the performance of the orchestra.At this time, the atmosphere became much more relaxed, and the guests divided into twos and threes, chatting in whispers.

It can be roughly divided into four circles.

Represented by Old Thor, a contemporary noble knight.The lady group represented by Mrs. Sophie, the girl group represented by the girls, these girls are the protagonists of this banquet.The Pompeii family intends to select a suitable Mrs. Luther from among these young girls.

The rest are noble boys.

Although this is a banquet for a blind date, communication between nobles is also necessary.

Luther, the future head of the Pompeii family, also needs connections.And every banquet is a social gathering of nobles, which is very precious.

In the past, Luther would often follow Old Saul to attend such banquets.

Among the youth troupe present, there were many friends that Luther had known before.

Old Sol was chatting with the old guys while holding the red wine in one hand.In fact, not all of them are old buddies. Apart from the five middle-aged men standing beside Old Sol, there is also a young man.

This young man was extremely handsome, and his complexion was extremely pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun all year round.I heard that in the northern capital, it is very popular for nobles to have such a complexion.

It is obvious that this young man is a child of an extremely noble nobleman.

In fact, it was also true, because the one in front of him was the third son of Baron Barton, Lucy, Barton.

And Baron Barton is the lord of the Pompey family.Pompeii has served Baron Barton throughout the generations, not only the Pompeii family, but the five people present who are about the same age as Old Sol are also lords of other knights and belong to Baron Baron.

Lucy, Barton.

This time, Old Sol also invited Baron Barton to attend the banquet, but Baron Baron had something to do and didn't come, so he sent the third son, the lord, to attend.

Although they were only the third sons, Old Sol and the others did not dare to be negligent, and vaguely focused on Lucy and Barton.During the conversation, they took good care of Lucy and Barton.

But Lucy, Barton seems to be a son of a nobleman who is not good at words, he just smiles more often and doesn't interrupt casually.

"I heard that the new party has become more and more rampant in the capital recently, and there are even knights from the new party attacking the nobles of the court. Not to mention other places in the kingdom. These chaotic parties are really everywhere."

Said a knight lord.

This knight lord has a very handsome face, but a hooked nose, which destroys the beauty of the face and adds a bit of hostility to him.

But those who are familiar with this knight lord know that this lord is a good-tempered old man.

This one is called Lipton Sauron.

Baron Barton is a baron who owns a city, as well as many villages and towns.The military strength and fiefs are quite large.

There are twenty or thirty knight lords loyal to Baron Barton.The Pompeii family is just one of them, and the five noble knight lords present are the knight lord families who are friendly with the Pompeii family.

It can be said that they are natural allies with each other.

This Lipton, Sauron was especially close to the Pompeii family, because his wife was the sister of Saul the elder, and Luther's aunt.

"That's right. These rebellious parties everywhere preach that they are born equal. The nobles shouldn't be allowed to hold such great power. They call on the common people and knights to unite to overthrow the Kingdom of Prussia. All of them should be hanged."

A knight lord said very murderously.

"The rebellious party, which looks disgusting to you, is very precious in my eyes. Although there are traces of rebellious party activities everywhere in the kingdom, the place we are in is really too remote. There is no rebellious party activity yet. What a pity. It would be great if we could kill a few rebels and show off our martial arts. The glory of the knights needs countless bones to set off."

A knight lord with a bad outlook said at this time.

However, this kind of three views is the mainstream among the current knight lords, not only this knight lord, but also the other knight lords, including Lipton, who is like a good guy, Sauron nodded.

The new party.

This group of damned commoner knights who opposed the nobility should all be hanged.

However, the topic of discussion was quickly reversed, because they all realized that today's banquet was to select the next generation of wives of the future Pompeii family.

It seems that it shouldn't be so murderous.

"Sol, there are some new faces at the banquet today. Besides us, who else did you invite today?"

Lipton and Sauron looked around the hall and found many unfamiliar faces, so they couldn't help asking.

There are six knight lords in total, all of whom are close allies.These families have been married since a long time ago, and they are more or less blood related to each other.

But it doesn't matter, in their opinion, the purer the blood of the nobles, the better, and this kind of marriage should continue to exist.So the girls present included the daughters, nieces, and other identities of the other five knight lords.

Old Sol's rigid face in front of his children all the year round has softened a lot now. He shrugged rarely, and said: "You know, there are too many descendants of nobles without lands in this world, and we have The nobles in the territory are very popular. Many noble girls dream of becoming the mistress of Pompeii. So after I spread the news, many people asked to participate, so I deleted it. Some of these girls are scholars Daughters, some are the daughters of officials, some are the daughters of merchants."

The descendants of the nobles are still nobles, but the territory of the nobles is so large, and there is only one person who can inherit the territory.Usually nobles have many children.

These children are all descendants of nobles.

Therefore, in the current Kingdom of Prussia, there are a lot of descendants of nobles.

The Pompeii family, which owns a territory, is very popular even though it is only a knight family.

Old Sol immediately said proudly: "My son is very good. So the more girls who attend this banquet, the better. Even if Luther can only have one wife, he might as well have a few more lovers. If he can give birth to some Although an illegitimate child cannot inherit Pompey's surname, he can still continue Pompeii's bloodline."

Old Saul turned into an old rascal.

And the other lord knights also showed the same expression, a little wretched.

Nobles, which real nobles can not have a few mistresses and illegitimate children?
