Gall was displeased by what Philip said, but there was nothing he could do about it. There is indeed a contradictory relationship between the chief chamberlain and the elite noble young master, who are natural enemies of each other. They dislike each other and look down on each other, but they almost have nothing to do with the other, so they have no choice but to continue to be dissatisfied forever. It is nothing more than normal. Let’s engage in some boring battle of spirits, and whoever is lucky enough to win will gain a huge advantage.
The result of Gal's dissatisfaction this time was that Earl Claxton was invited away, along with Meadow. The waiter who was in charge of the banquet came quickly and asked the Earl to make preparations.
He said: "Please follow me, Lord Creston, I need to finalize the details of the introduction with you. Your introducer is already waiting for you, and the master will be here soon."
So the count's father said goodbye to everyone, especially thanked Gu Hanhan, and then took Mei Duo's arm and left.
Lucas did not leave, and no attendant came to invite him. A person like him, who has been turned from a slave to a vassal, and has even served as his master's bodyguard, is already very familiar with his master. He can just meet him directly, and there is no need for any introduction. The so-called introduction banquet, which is crucial for the new vassal, is just a formality in this situation, meeting the most basic etiquette needs. Anyway, after all slaves are pardoned, their initial status is as independent vassals, and the master does not need to give special badges and other etiquette at the introduction banquet.
After the count's father left, Philip suddenly became disinterested. He was unhappy with no one to play with and no one to seduce.
"David won't show up for at least fifteen minutes," he grumbled, but didn't leave. After all, fifteen minutes was too short. Even Philip was not able to find a prey and take it into his mouth. And after seeing Meadow, he no longer had any interest in hunting other prisoners.
Phillip found a seat near Gu Hanhan and sat down, asking Gu Hanhan about Mei Duo. Gu Hanhan was not happy that Mei Duo would be entangled by an unscrupulous prodigal like Phillip, but she was entangled by Phillip. He had no choice but to tell him that Meadow's hometown was in the territory of Earl Creston. He had established a contract with the Earl's father a few years ago, and the relationship seemed to be very good at the moment.
"Mei Duo's energy wave performs best in the destruction system, Philip." She did not forget to advise in the end: "Although it also performs in nearby series, the representation is really not good."
But Philip didn't care and seemed determined. "But it's not necessarily true. What kind of formal training and testing can she get from a rural place like that? Maybe it's just an illusion of directed stimulation?" He said, "I'm not coveting her healing waves, I'm in love with her."
"I hope your love can last for a week." Gu Hanhan had no choice but to warn: "Don't hurt Mei Duo, or I will fight with you."
With the last twenty minutes before the end, David finally showed up at the banquet. Although there was no announcement according to the tradition of the introduction banquet, and David only came quietly with a limited number of attendants and servants, it was like a charge trumpet was sounded, and everyone was refreshed and gave out thousands of times. of mental head. It was as if the long overture had finally played the last note and the banquet had just begun.
The introduction banquet is intended to be relaxed, and generally there is no specific order. They all follow the route taken by the host. As for David, of course he had to follow his mistress - even at social banquets, he was supposed to follow women. So as soon as he found Gu Hanhan after entering the door, he took the initiative to go over and join Gu Hanhan. Lucas is right next to Gu Hanhan, and the first person to get closer to the water is the moon, so the introduction starts with him.
He bowed his head, saluted David, and called, "Master."
When David saw it was Lucas, he asked, "Has the injury been healed?"
"It's all healed," Lucas replied quickly, "It's all thanks to the healer given by the master. Thank you for the kindness of the master."
David nodded: "Keep it." Then he stretched out the hand with the secret code in front of Lucas.
The secret book is huge, with patterns flowing quietly, and the radiance of energy reflects into Lucas's eyes. He looked up in shock, almost unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Owner--"
In response, David simply pointed his finger closer to Lucas.
David's firm movements finally convinced Lucas that it was not an illusion. The emotions like a sea of stars overwhelmed his heart in one fell swoop, and all the energy was restless, roaring, and heating up his long-cooled blood donation. He suddenly fell to his knees, threw himself on the ground with a kind of fanatical piety, and kissed David's feet repeatedly. Then he stood up and half-knelt, took David's fingertips, and kissed his secret book. He kissed it for a long time, pressing his lips hard against the secret book, as if he wanted to melt himself into those patterns. He was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Everyone at the banquet was shocked and stared blankly at the scene in front of them. Only Gu Hanhan didn't know why.
"What happened," she whispered to Gal next to her, "Didn't you say that you don't bow or kneel down at the banquet? What's wrong with everyone, it seems like they've seen a ghost - is it because of this?"
"He is a noble!" Philip, who was also standing very close to Gu Hanhan, rushed to say, "Only nobles can kiss the secret book! This is really crazy. David actually gave the honor of a nobleman directly to a slave!"
Phillip was obviously very shocked, so there was a strange hint of resentment in his tone. He took a sip of wine, but failed to suppress his ups and downs of emotions, so he took another sip and then simply drank.
With these few seconds of buffering, the other people finally recovered from the shock, but they still watched them carefully, as if they were afraid that David would make further moves. But fortunately, David didn't do anything else. After Lucas kissed his secret book and stood up, he withdrew his hand, and then walked to the center of the banquet with Gu Hanhan.
Gu Hanhan almost reflexively took the arm David offered him. She looked back at Lucas and saw that he was still standing alone in the same position as before, the excitement in his expression had not faded, and his eyes were already showing confusion and helplessness.
Along the way, new vassals were introduced to David, led by introducers of varying status. David usually talks to them for a few words, the length of which depends on the identity of the introducer and the level of the new vassal. If it is an independent vassal, David usually talks in three sentences, starting with their name, the middle sentence is about the beauty of the lighthouse star or the weather in the Acropolis, and finally ends with "Nice to meet you."
The conversation with the head of the Stan family will be extended, and he will talk about the star territory, geography, customs and customs of the Stan family's immediate enemy. After the conversation is over, he will be given a kiss secret and the anchor will be pinned to the cuffs of his dress. The shaped buckle was removed and presented to him.
As for the Earl's father, whom Lord Theodore introduced personally, when it was his turn, not only did all the above-mentioned rituals go through, but David also specially shook hands with the Earl, and the gift he gave was replaced by a gold badge worn on his chest. .
It took a total of twenty minutes, not a minute too much, not a minute too much, to meet all thirty-three new vassal Davids.
After the banquet, the ceremony came immediately. Gu Hanhan originally wanted to watch the live broadcast, but when she realized that her seat must be above all others at the ceremony, next to David's side, she immediately refused to watch it. With the idea of live broadcast, Mei Duo went back to the room to watch the broadcast.
At the subsequent celebration dinner, Gu Hanhan also changed her clothes and made up for a brief appearance. However, today's banquet that started in the afternoon was too tiring. Gu Hanhan couldn't stand it until midnight and left the banquet early. . After having a hearty late-night snack with Mei Duo, who was also exhausted, and not having to worry about breaking her dress, they jumped into the hot spring to take a bath together, chatted tirelessly for an unknown amount of time, and finally fell asleep on the same bed.
After midnight, David also left the banquet hall. After he left, the atmosphere of the banquet became more indulgent and lively. Under the stimulation of alcohol, the guests and nobles gradually abandoned their noble masks and began to become dissolute.
Lucas declined the invitations of many nobles and hid alone behind a pillar in the corner of the party. The bustling and noisy beautiful scenery was like passing clouds. He was still confused as he witnessed the grand scene in front of him. Until now, after kissing David's secret book and performing the surrender ceremony, he still had no sense of reality and could not believe that he had become the same noble as the guests in front of him. He never thought that he would become a noble in his lifetime, and he didn't know how to be a noble. Therefore, when the huge honor fell from the sky and enveloped her, turning him into the same kind as those high-ranking big shots, his heart was hesitant and helpless, and he simply didn't know where the future would go.
How to build a family? He is so alone, he should be a knight, but he will be an independent vassal for thirty or fifty years, and when his descendants come of age - if they have any, and have accumulated enough strength, he can then try to become a noble. And now that he is a noble, what should he do to make up for the contribution that he should make to his master as a vassal of a noble next year? Even the lowest amount.
An attendant came to Lucas and interrupted his serious and serious thinking. He said: "Director Lando, please come to the Secretariat, Mr. Lucas."
"Now?" Lucas asked subconsciously, feeling a little strange.
The attendant replied nervously: "Yes, Your Excellency, Director Lando hopes that you can go there immediately. He said it is a very urgent matter, so please do not delay."
Lucas glanced at the attendant. He was a very young apprentice attendant. Watch his eyes sparkle and dance with adoration. So, he got up from the floor, smiled at him, and said, "Just come."
The little attendant immediately said: "Let me lead the way for you." After receiving the agreement, he jumped for joy, which made Lucas even more embarrassed to say that he was actually very familiar with the road.
