Chapter 113 Royal Banquet

King Meredith's behavior made Ron full of vigilance. He thought of Amelia's evaluation of King Carlo, and now it seemed that Her Royal Highness had misjudged her.

"Baron Arnold is not bad either."

The king said something with a smile, the tone made Ron unable to distinguish whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm, so he could only be silent.

"Baron, are we going to talk in this way?"

Immediately afterwards, the king's voice sounded again, and Ron just noticed that Sig was standing in front of him to guard against Queen Selina.

As expected of a king playing tricks, he had to follow the other party's wishes with just one sentence, thus declaring the initiative in this conversation.

Ron gently raised his hand and ordered Sig to back down. He was not very worried that the other party would shoot, or that shooting him was the stupidest choice.

In this chamber, the two sides were divided by a small table, on one side were the Meredith family, His Majesty the King and his Queen, who were also his guardians.

On the other side is the head of the Arnold family and his guardian knight.

The king was the first to speak out, and he sighed: "This is the second time that our two families have such a formal meeting. It was the first time that Arnold's first generation patriarch and my grandfather established an inheritance covenant during that meeting."

Hearing that the king began to talk about the origins of the two families, Ron narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that the king would not talk about family affairs for no reason, and there must be something waiting for him later.

Just as Ron thought, soon, the king looked at him with burning eyes, and asked in a calm tone, "Would the baron allow this covenant to continue?"

These words made Ron realize that the world is ultimately respected by the strong. The so-called laws are just a means to restrain the weak, and the strong only need to act according to their own wishes.

Ron didn't mean to separate his territory from the Kingdom of Carlo, but the king couldn't feel at ease thinking this way. He needed to clarify whether Ron was willing to continue guarding the southern border for the kingdom.

A strong man with fifth-level combat power is enough to change too many things. As the king of the Carlo Kingdom, Meredith needs to consider a lot.

Ron was silent for a long time, and slowly said: "Your Majesty, before I answer this question, please allow me to ask you a doubt."

"Excuse me, Baron."

The king made a gesture, but he didn't say whether he would answer or not.

Ron stared into the king's eyes and asked, "Does Your Majesty know that there is a fifth-level magician hidden in the kingdom?"

"I understand what the baron asked, but we have reasons why we can't make a move. Therefore, we can only crack the opponent's methods secretly, so as not to endanger the entire kingdom."

When he said these words, the king seemed helpless, and he could not see anything wrong with his tone and expression, which made people believe it was true.

The king didn't give a specific reason. Obviously, it was related to the secret of the royal family. Ron didn't ask too much, but he was not so stupid as to believe everything the king said. What the king said was true, but he also concealed something, and chose to hide it What is not said is the point.

What is certain is that the king is not with the black mage, or that the two are also hostile.

Because the methods of the black magician were too weird, the king chose to act secretly in order not to offend the other party. Otherwise, the method of the fifth-level black magician would easily put the entire kingdom in crisis.

But Ron has no such worries. Harvey's sacred attribute restrains black magic. When Harvey's magician level is higher, use the magic of the sacred attribute to restrict the opponent, and then let Sig make a move, he will be a black magician of death.

But the most difficult point is to find each other.

After getting the answer he wanted, Ron answered the king's previous question, "The Arnold family is willing to continue the covenant, guard the southern border of the kingdom, and prevent the infestation of monsters."

The king couldn't hide his joy, and smiled with relief. If Ron chose not to stick to the covenant, it would be a more serious matter than a fifth-level black magician appearing in the kingdom.

Just as the king was about to say something, Ron's voice sounded again, "The Arnold family is willing to protect the peace of the Carlo Kingdom, but that's all. I hope His Majesty can understand this."

Hearing this, the king's heart trembled. He recognized the hidden meaning in Ron's words, and swallowed the words just as they came to his lips.

Now there are two fifth-tier powerhouses in the Carlo Kingdom, which can be said to be the dominant family in the surrounding kingdoms. No kingdom can compete with them, even Teresa mentioned that there is a fifth-tier sword master. In the Kingdom of Nibernir, facing a fifth-level knight and a fifth-level ice magician at the same time, a name as strong as a sword master would also be enraged on the spot.

With such a powerful Carlo Kingdom, Meredith inevitably had some thoughts in his heart. Unfortunately, Ron's meaning was obvious. If other kingdoms attacked the Carlo Kingdom, he would protect it; if he wanted to use his strength to attack other countries, That's your business.

In this regard, the king is not very disappointed. It is already very good that the Arnold family can protect the kingdom, at least the pressure they will face in the future will be much less.

"Arnold's collar seems a bit small for the baron. I wonder if you are satisfied with Eugene's collar?"

Suddenly, the king talked about the territory, and Ron realized that the other party wanted to give benefits.Regarding the major events of the kingdom, a simple agreement is not enough, only sufficient interests are the best thing to maintain the relationship between the two.

However, the distance between Eugene's collar and Arnold's collar is too far, and there is a fast collar in between, so even if it is occupied, it will not be easy to manage.

But, how can you not give it away for free?

And if Ron doesn't accept it, the king will definitely think about it; if he accepts it, he can feel at ease.

As for how to accept that territory, Ron still needs to think carefully.

After this conversation, the purpose of the king's dinner party has been basically achieved. As far as the result is concerned, he is very satisfied. It should be said that it is the most satisfying one among the many palace dinners he has held.

And for Ron, there are also gains.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, there was a knock on the door, and it was Felix who sent a message saying that it was time for the dinner to start.

"Haha, chatting with the baron is so fun, I forgot the time. That's fine, let's go down together."

The king smiled kindly, although he knew that he was talking about some common social words, but it was not offensive to his ears.

Attending with the king is naturally to give Ron momentum, but Ron doesn't need it.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but let me go down first."

Ron smiled, paused, took out a document, and said, "This is the list of nobles related to the slave case, please come down to make a decision."

During the day, Thomas and others had already received the 'hush money', and the nobles involved were of low status. They were bewitched by Earl Eugene and wanted to become high-ranking nobles so as to revitalize the family.

It's a pity that Earl Eugene took advantage of him and used him in various ways.

Viscount Faster was originally Earl Eugene's next target, but unfortunately Viscount Faster was only interested in being promoted to the rank of Earl, since his family has a horse farm for money and so on.

Earl Eugene had been preparing for the matter of Viscount Faster for a long time, so he decided to abandon one or two strongholds where the slaves were kept, and trick Viscount Faster into boarding the ship first, and then let him decide.

It's a pity that the following things completely deviated from Earl Eugene's plan, and even set himself up.

They still don't know about the news of Earl Eugene's death. When the king sends someone to arrest the nobles involved, Ron will have the news released, and the chosen person will appear.

"Your Majesty, I'm going down first."

Ron turned and left after saluting, followed closely by Seeger.

"Selena, do you think his words are credible?"

After a long silence, the king suddenly asked the queen. Although Ron said bluntly that he would protect the kingdom, he still remained skeptical.

With a fifth-tier knight as a guard, why don't you have any other thoughts?Too strange!

If it was him, he would have already led people to evacuate the country.

"His Majesty."

Selena looked at him with admiration in her eyes, and she couldn't give an answer to this question.

"Oh, that's all."

The matter has come to this point, the king didn't think about it any more, there are already many sad things, and he can't be entangled in this matter any more.

He picked up the document given by the baron just now, and said with a smile: "It's time to set up another test for Felix."

Hearing this, Selena stretched out her arms and gently wrapped them around the king's neck, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Felix will definitely understand your intentions."

"I hope one day."

The king sighed. Seeing his appearance, Selena felt uncomfortable. She always knew that her son was the sole heir to the throne. Unfortunately, Felix had a fatal weakness as a king.

To this end, the king made a chilling decision.

"Your Majesty, why don't you tell Felix everything, I can." Selina couldn't help but said.

Hearing this, the king turned his head, the two looked at each other, and finally his eyes fell on the queen's black collar.

"No, it's not the time yet, just wait."

He shook his head, suddenly thought of something, and asked the queen, "How is that woman?"

Selena shook her head.

"Hmph, useless stuff. It seems that the gift to be given to Felix will have to wait for a while. I hope he can understand what it takes to be a king before then."

Dinner hall.

The reappearance of Ron and Sig made some people cast their eyes curiously. Just now, the first prince came to invite him personally, representing the king's summoning. They were curious about what the two talked about.

At the banquet, Prince Baird was surrounded by stars, listening to the flattering words from the nobles, he felt satisfied.

At this time, everyone around him turned their heads. He followed his gaze, and his face darkened in the next second.

However, he is not a fool. He has heard that the knights around Baron Arnold have the strength of the fourth level. Such a person is not something he can afford to offend, so he can only vent the resentment in his heart elsewhere.

Back in the banquet hall, Ron looked around and found that Duke Padrige, who had tried to win him over before, was gone. Maybe it was the king who made the move. He didn't care, because he was not familiar with him after all.

The king has not yet attended, and some nobles have invited their heirs to chat with other nobles. The noble heirs who have made marriage contracts since childhood can only be counted as a minority. If there are two or more girls in the family, under normal circumstances, the eldest daughter will be given priority in making a marriage contract, and the second daughter will carefully select the marriage partner.

And this time at the dinner party, many girls of the right age were brought by their parents to marry powerful noble families.

Ron was eating the ice cream prepared at the dinner party. Yes, these ice creams came from Aisha's dessert shop. For this, he had to admire Rosalind's business talent.

With a smile on his face, he asked Sig: "You are also past the age of marriage. Is there anything in it? I think the other party will not refuse."

Hearing this, Sig turned pale, and quickly expressed his loyalty, "My lord, this subordinate only wants to protect you."

Now it was Ron's turn to change his face.

Just as he was thinking about how to do Sig's ideological education, the Marquis of Noches and a girl came over.

Like the Marquis, the girl has black hair, a black dress, and a stern face, but a hint of joy can be seen in the cold expression. She is the Marquis's second daughter, the daughter of the Marquis Juliès.

Speaking of which, the daughter of the Marquis Juliès does not look like a fiancé, so did the Marquis bring her to the dinner party for a blind date?

In the other party's status, it shouldn't be.

"Master Marquis."

Although it was the other party who came over first, Ron followed the etiquette and said hello first, then looked at the marquis's daughter next to him, "Miss Julius."

"Long time no see, Baron Arnold." Juliès's cold voice sounded, she was well-mannered, but she was not like Teresa's dignified and elegant type, but rather cold and mysterious.

After she finished greeting her, the Marquis of Noches chatted with Ron. Most of them were very common topics. Even if they were talking about political affairs, Ron didn't understand.

"Baron, has your territory been established yet? I heard that Marquis Alfred sent many people to your place, but do you need more people?"

"It's almost finished, and Lord Marquis also wants to invest? Then you don't have many projects to invest in."

"Oh? What other projects are there?"

Hearing what the Marquis meant, it seemed that he really wanted to get involved, Ron thought for a moment, and said, "If your lord the Marquis really wants to invest, you can send someone to my territory for detailed discussions, but please rest assured, the Marquis will never let the Marquis lose money! "

"There is no investment that will never lose money. Even if you lose money, it's okay. This is normal."

The Marquis of Noches didn't seem to care much, he paused for a moment and became serious, "Actually, I have one thing I want to ask the Baron for help."

really!

At this moment, various thoughts appeared in Ron's mind, and he nodded cautiously, "Please speak, Marquis."

The Marquis of Noches glanced at him, and said slowly: "There is an inherited treasure in my family, a magic wand, which suddenly broke a few days ago, so I want to ask the baron's blacksmith to repair it."

Repair the treasure of inheritance?

Ron was slightly taken aback, that's all?
Isn't it a conspiracy?Not a blind date?Marquis Noches, I think highly of you!Fortunately, you still have a villain face!

"What? Can't you?"

"How could it be? Don't worry, Lord Marquis. I will repair it perfectly for you." Ron promised.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the banquet, and His Majesty the King appeared. After Meredith gave a speech, the dinner began.

The banquet this time was more lively due to Ron's participation, and the nobles came to say hello, which made him exhausted to deal with it.

It would be fine if he just showed his face and said hello. Some nobles even wanted to introduce their daughters to him, and the intention was self-evident.

Ron took one look and smiled politely.
