The Extraordinary Earl

At night, the black curtain covered the sky, but it could not cover Pompeii Castle.

Outside the castle, there are many carriages parked with various family crests hanging on the carriages, proving that the owners of these carriages are all distinguished people with aristocratic blood.

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

The castle was brightly lit, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the castle. The male and female servants of the Pompeii family came out in full force and were busy.

The guests were all gathered in the hall.

The hall is one and a half stories high and circular. A tall chandelier hung above, and the snow-white candles on the chandelier were burning. The guests were gathered on one side of the hall in front of the door, and on the other side a famous pianist specially hired by the Pompeii family was playing the piano.

The guests were all listening to the elegant piano sound. Even the guests who were not interested in music pretended to be listening to the music.

Making noise at this time is considered impolite.

The male and female servants holding plates with wine, biscuits and other snacks on them were also careful not to make any sound.

Soon after the music ended, the famous pianist stood up and saluted the guests. The guests clapped their hands and applauded like thunder.

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

It can be roughly divided into four circles.

Represented by Old Sol, the contemporary noble knights. The ladies group represented by Mrs. Sophie, and the girls group represented by the girls, these girls are the protagonists of this banquet. The Pompeii family planned to select a suitable and outstanding Mrs. Luther from among these girls.

The rest are the noble boys.

Although this is a banquet for the purpose of 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 Sol to attend such banquets.

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

Old Sol held red wine in one hand while chatting with the old guys. In fact, they are not all old friends. In addition to the five middle-aged people standing next to Old Sol, there is also a young man.

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

Obviously, this young man is a son of an aristocratic family with an extremely distinguished status.

In fact, this is also the case, because the person in front of him is the third son of Baron Barton, Lucy Barton.

And Baron Barton is the head of the Pompeii family. Pompeii has served Baron Barton for generations. Not only the Pompeii family, but the five people present who are about the same age as Old Saul are also lords of other knights and belong to Baron Barton.

Lucy, Barton.

This time, Old Sol also invited Baron Barton to attend the banquet. However, Baron had something to do and did not come, so he sent the third son of the lord to attend.

Although they were only the third son, Old Sol and others did not dare to neglect them, with Lucy and Barton being the main ones. During the conversation, both Lucy and Barton were taken care of.

However, Lucy Barton seems to be a poor nobleman who is not good at speaking. He mostly just smiles and does not interrupt casually.

"I heard that the New Party has become more and more rampant in the royal capital recently. There have even been knights from the New Party attacking the nobles of the palace. Not to mention other parts of the kingdom. These chaotic parties are really everywhere."

A knight lord said.

This knight lord had a very handsome face, but a hooked nose ruined the beauty of his face and added a bit of vindictiveness to him.

However, those who are familiar with this knight lord know that this lord is a good old man with a good temper.

This one is called Lipton Sauron.

Baron Barton is a baron who owns a city, many villages and towns. The military strength and fiefdom 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 knight lord families who have good relations with the Pompeii family.

They can be said to be natural allies.

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

"Yes, these gangsters are everywhere preaching that they are all born equal. The nobles should not be allowed to have such great power. They call on the civilian knights to unite to overthrow the Kingdom of Prussia. They should all be hanged."

A knight lord said very murderously.

"What you think is an abominable gang is precious to me. Although there are traces of gang activities everywhere in the kingdom, the place we are in is too remote. There are no gang activities yet. It's a pity. It would be great if we could kill a few gangsters to show off our martial arts. The glory of the knights needs countless bones."

A knight lord with incorrect views said at this time.

However, this kind of three views is the mainstream among the current knight lords. Not only this knight lord, but the other knight lords including the good old Lipton and Sauron all nodded.

New party.

These damn civilian knights who opposed the nobility should all be hanged.

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

It seems that he shouldn't be so murderous.

"Saul, there are some new faces at the banquet today. Apart from us, who else did you invite today?"

Lipton, Sauron looked around the hall and found many strange faces, so he couldn't help but ask.

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

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

Old Sol's very rigid face in front of his children all year round softened a lot now. He shrugged in a rare way and said: "You know, there are too many descendants of nobles who have no land in the world, and we have It is very popular among the nobles in the territory. Many noble girls dreamed of becoming the hostess of Pompeii, so after I spread the news, many people requested to participate, and I selected some of these girls. Daughters, some are officials’ daughters, some are businessmen’s daughters.”

Descendants of nobles are still nobles, but the territory of a noble is only so large, and only one person can inherit the territory. Usually nobles have many children.

These children are all descendants of nobles.

Therefore, the current Kingdom of Prussia has a lot of descendants of nobles.

The Pompeii family, which owned territory, was still very popular even though it was just a family of knights.

Old Sol then said proudly: "My son is very good. So the more girls attending this banquet, the better. Even if Luther can only have one wife, he might as well have more lovers. He can give birth to some Although an illegitimate child cannot inherit Pompeii’s surname, he can still continue Pompeii’s bloodline.”

Old Saul turned into an old and crooked gangster.

The other lord knights also showed the same expression, which was a bit vulgar.

Nobles, how can any real nobleman not have several mistresses and illegitimate children?
