The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Then, looking at the protagonist's light on Alice, a strange idea suddenly appeared in Liber's heart.

If... without him, how would the fate of the Ed family continue?

Because of the bleak business of the restaurant, Fen, who escaped from the pressure, indulged in the wealth church. Instead, she put all the wealth accumulated so far into it, and feared that her family would be ruined in the end...

And Alice, who lives in a happy family now, will immediately get an unfortunate family that fits the protagonist's identity.Moreover, she will become hostile to the "church" and "god", paving the way for her future incarnation as a witch.

hiss...

The more Riber thinks about it, the more he feels that this is the original plot, or the original setting of "The Witch is Screaming", the Alice line.

Then he just so inadvertently, completely subverted the plot of the whole line with a flap of his wings?

This...

Changing the original plot to this virtue, he won't be retaliated when the world line is revised, right?

Riber thought to himself, and looked at the opposite side with a complex expression. After the gloomy atmosphere, the Eds and his wife were looking forward to the banquet and imagining the future with red faces.

In the past, he felt that as the heroine's parents, the word "Danger" was always on their foreheads.

But now, he felt that if he looked in the mirror, he would probably be able to find the same word on his forehead.

Volume 66: Chapter [-], Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Den

When night fell, Riber and his party came to Sir Gold's mansion in the east side of Greenwater City.

This is the place where today's commendation banquet will be held.

If you don't count the additional land of the ancestral house of the Campret family, just looking at the mansion itself, the Gold mansion is more magnificent and magnificent.

It's not that Sir Gold is high-profile, but that he is a well-known businessman throughout the kingdom, and he is the richest man in Greenwater City.

And like many successful commoners, Sir Gould, who became a top dog, also sharpened his head and wanted to squeeze into the circle of nobles.That's why he actively participated in various activities related to the old aristocracy, trying to expand his influence.Let him, the new aristocratic Viscount, become "old" one day.

After waking Alice up, the group got out of the carriage.

It can only be said that the resilience of children is really not to be underestimated.

Alice, who was so exhausted that she nearly fell down before, only slept for half an hour, stretched her waist, and recovered to a state of full energy.

In order to meet the specifications of the banquet, Alice coiled up her blond hair dignifiedly and wore a sky blue long skirt evening dress.If you don't make a sound, you really have the appearance of a little adult.

Speaking of this evening dress, there is another episode.

That is, the evening dress is backless, with a large V-shaped notch on the back.

For such a backless dress, Riber felt a little inappropriate, and Ed had the same idea as him.

However, on the other side, Sebastian, Fern, and Alice themselves felt that there was nothing strange about such a dress, it was very common.

So, three votes to two votes, Alice still put on this slightly mature sky blue evening dress.

On the surface, Ai De succumbed to his wife and daughter because of his low family status.But in fact, after getting off the carriage, Riber saw him following Alice almost like a shadow, physically blocking his daughter's snow-white back.

I don't know, I thought Ed was Alice's substitute or something.

Then, watching Ed's funny and emotional behavior, Riber also sighed in his heart.

In his previous life, he always complained that the female characters in the game wore more and more clothes, and he unknowingly became the one he hated the most.

...

When Sebastian went to park the carriage, Riber and the others began to walk towards the mansion.

Although the banquet has not officially started yet, many people have already gathered around.

Many men in formal attire were held arms by their female companions, chatting and laughing with the people beside them as they walked towards the main entrance of the mansion.There is quite a taste of a star walking the red carpet.

And Riber looked at such a scene, feeling a little dazed.

If these actions are necessary etiquette for nobles, then does he have to ask Alice to hold his arm?

Although accompanied by a guardian, Alice also came to the banquet in the name of his female companion after all.

It's strange to say that Sebas should be very clear that he has lost his memory, and he should need those etiquette teachers for special training.But unfortunately, he had been idle all afternoon, and he didn't wait for any instructor at all.

Sebastian, aren't you afraid that he will make a fool of himself in front of the public?

And soon, Riber understood why he didn't need to be guided.

Because, he observed, since they appeared, they kept a certain distance from each other in a silent posture and headed towards the main entrance of the mansion.

Whether it was the banquet guests in front of them or the people behind them, they all began to imitate their group.

Men and women no longer walk hand in hand, nor whisper...

It turned out to be the case.

Riber understood.

Since this banquet itself will not have a few old nobles participating, and even among the old nobles, he, the earl, is top-notch.

Therefore, he does not need to abide by any noble etiquette, because to some extent, these etiquettes are formulated by people like him.

In addition, the high-profile black carriage never could conceal that Earl Riber was sitting in the carriage.

It also caused him, who had already attracted much attention, to be imitated by the participants of the banquet in every move.

This feeling of being noticed even if you walk around is really amazing.

Riber even wanted to stop suddenly at the same spot to do radio gymnastics, to see if the people around him would also think it was noble etiquette, and then do it with him.

...

...

Entering Sir Gold's mansion, the interior of the mansion is also the main venue of the banquet, and it is as spacious as Riber imagined.

He roughly counted and found that the participants of the banquet easily reached three digits.However, it doesn't feel crowded at all.

At the entrance of the banquet venue, there are people dressed as guards who are collecting invitations for the banquet.

After seeing Riber's invitation, the guard was taken aback and quickly reported to the inside.Not long after that, a balding middle-aged gentleman and a middle-aged man in knight attire ran over to greet the Earl in a synchronized motion of wiping their sweat with a handkerchief.

According to their self-introductions, Riber learned that the middle-aged gentleman who was somewhat bald and wore gold-rimmed things was Sir Gold, the owner of the mansion.And the middle-aged man who had to wear light armor to attend a banquet was one of the deputy captains of the knights in Greenwater City. Riber didn't remember the long list of names.

Riber was a little worried at first, how would he introduce himself.

Of course, what puzzled him was not how to introduce himself, but how to explain the relationship between Alice and her parents and him.

To say he is a servant seems to be a bit hurtful.

Said they were friends, he was afraid that the Eds would faint.

Don't look at the scene where the domineering president-type male protagonist in those works tells the other party to be very close to him in order to protect the female protagonist, he is extraordinarily handsome and stylish.

But in reality, if you think about it, it's nothing but deceptive behavior.

Fortunately, the two of them seemed to have no intention of inquiring.

Among the two, Sir Gold kept saying that the arrival of the Earl made him feel extremely honored, extremely honored, and made this mansion flourish and flourish.

Because his vocabulary is very small and he is obviously very nervous, Riber once suspected that this jazz was changed by a repeater.

The vice-head of the Knights on the other side is more talkative, but there is only one thing that he wants to express over and over again.

It's just that he never expected that the Earl would really attend the banquet.

After getting a general understanding from Sebastian, Riber knew that it was actually quite difficult for the Knights to invite him to the banquet.

Generally speaking, since it is a commendation banquet, a medal of honor should be issued.

But because of the particularity of the Earl Riber's status, the Order of Knights of the Order could not be issued.

Because the current Xinmei royal family has also continued from the original Mebrian Kingdom era to the present.Therefore, the medals recognized by the New Plum Kingdom are the same as in the old era, and are divided into four grades according to their grades.

Theoretically, the fourth-class medals are all royal and must be direct descendants of the royal family to be eligible to be awarded.But in fact, the royal family will "deposit" the third-class medals and fourth-class medals in the hands of some people, and let them issue them on behalf of the royal family according to the situation.

The Royal Knights are qualified to issue the fourth-class Maybrain Medal of Honor on behalf of the royal family.

And these fourth-class medals are not really only honors, but have added value.

That is, civilians with the fourth-class Medal of Honor will be qualified as quasi-knights.

It is precisely because of this added value that problems arise.

The old aristocrats generally considered it an insult to award them a third or fourth class medal.

After all, they were already barons, viscounts and even earls, and they were suddenly awarded the qualifications of quasi knights or knights. No matter how they looked at it, they did not "respect" their behavior.

And where are the first and second medals so easy to get?

So, now is the time.

There is no way for the Knights to apply for a second-class or higher medal from the royal family just because Riber captured a prisoner.And the fourth-class medal, which they can freely decide, cannot be issued to him.

The best result is that Riber doesn't come to the banquet and let the servants attend instead.

At that time, even if the Knights only have verbal praise, it will not be embarrassing if the person is not present.

Whether it's Riber or the Knights.

Can...

"I actually don't want to come."

Riber said to the two helplessly.

And the two of them looked at each other with expressions of "Then why are you here?", but they dared not speak out.

What can Riber say about this?

I can only say that I understand everything, and don't ask if I don't understand.

...

...

After Riber entered the mansion, even though there were still many guests entering the mansion, the commendation ceremony started soon.

That feeling was almost like I was afraid that Riber had waited for a long time.

As for the process of the commendation ceremony, there is actually not much to say.

Because Riber had previously instructed the two organizers to keep a low profile and keep it simple.Moreover, in the banquet venue, when he was focused by the lights, he stared at the host who wanted to blow him nasty for a long time with a deep expression.

Therefore, the commendation ceremony itself ended rather anticlimactic.

It has to be said that Riber's "silent pressure" skill is not unfamiliar after many days, and it is still very effective.

The reason why he hasn't used it recently is because after coming to Greenwater City, almost everyone he met didn't need to apply pressure at all, and they were about to kneel directly in front of him.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the title of honorary advisor awarded to Riber by the Knights, the girl from the slum area who was attacked by night demons also made a special appearance to thank Riber.

Probably because of being too nervous, Riber barely heard what the girl said.

However, he remembered the other party's name.

veronica.

On this day, among the banquet where all the participants were dressed up, only Veronica was still wearing civilian clothes.

But the clothes on her body are obviously brand new.So probably, it was not her own clothes, but prepared by the Knights for her.

It can only be said that this knight group is really...

Either prepare a dress for Veronica, or make the civilian clothes a little older.

It's not even good enough for a show.

It's really unbearable to shake your head and sigh.

...

Amidst the warm applause, the commendation ceremony ended.

Although on the surface, the commendation ceremony and the banquet are on the same level.But in fact, the banquet after the commendation ceremony is undoubtedly the highlight for the participants of the banquet.

Make friends with each other and connect with each other.

A banquet is probably such a place.

Riber, of course, also sensed that the people around him were already ready to move, wanting to strengthen the great nobles of the old era who were comparable to national treasures.

So, feeling troublesome, he put on a cold face, an expression of not entering with strangers.
