Lord of War

While the carriage was shaking for a while, it got out of Lomingen.

Hastings Manor was established on the outskirts of Lomingne, but it was said that the outskirts actually took more than two hours to travel by road alone. During this process, the atmosphere in the spacious carriage was relatively harmonious, except for a certain young lady who was a little frightened.

Because Sean picked up a book from the tavern, the two hours were quite easy to pass.

Both Alfred and Annuo chose to close their eyes and meditate, because no one knew what would happen next.

Only Christina inexplicably felt a terrible coercion enveloped herself, which made her back almost completely wet. In fact, Rui Na was just looking at Christina with great interest, she did not use her momentum to suppress, but as a unparalleled fierce general who could easily kill several times on the battlefield, Rui Na inadvertently Naturally, the bloody aura emanating from it was not something Christina, who had never been in a battle, could bear.

Even if Reina didn't deliberately suppress it.

This situation doesn't matter to Sean and others, even Avi and Hastings, but it is a kind of mental torture to Christina.

It's the difference between having real combat and not having real combat.

In the process of continuing to wobble, the carriage finally arrived at Hastings Manor.

Christina almost couldn't wait to open the door and get out of the car. After taking a breath of fresh air, her face regained a little bit of rosiness, but overall it was still pale and bloodless. The cold air made her dizzy and almost stagnant brain thinking finally start to work again, but it also made her understand more clearly how big the gap between her and Sean's strength was.

Originally, after Sean defeated Christina in the martial arts arena that day, Christina had to admit that she was indeed intimidated at the beginning. Afterwards, she felt that if she fought hard without hesitation, she might not have no chance of winning. But she is indeed a person who keeps her promises. Since she admits defeat before, of course she will not deny the fulfillment of her promises. It's just that she is determined to fight Sean again before he leaves.

So for this reason, Christina has also been practicing skills very hard recently, and her diligence is even far more than when she was receiving guidance from her own teacher.

But today, through these short two hours, she really understood where the biggest gap between herself and Sean was.

"Christina, you are here." Just as Christina was still thinking wildly, Soma Hasting and Kazi had already greeted her.

As the owner of Hastings Manor, Soma certainly needs to come out to greet the guests, but not everyone who comes to the banquet is worthy of his personal reception. But whether it was Christina or Sean, their identities were obviously different, so he couldn't help himself. Of course, Avi Huisting, who is most likely to inherit the Hastings family in the future, is of course also by Soma's side.

"Are you okay, Tingna." Seeing Christina's pale face, Avi naturally stepped forward to ask with concern.

Seeing Avi's performance, Soma nodded secretly, obviously very satisfied with Awei's actions. If Sean saw this scene, it would be immediately clear that Soma, who on the surface is currently not in the Hastings family, has already chosen Avi as his next master. It is also understandable,

After all, among all the candidates for the next heir of the Hastings family, Avi has the greatest chance of winning. The sooner he joins the team, the greater the benefits he can reap in the future. It is impossible for someone as shrewd as Soma don't know.

It's just that many people have certain fantasies before some things are clearly expressed.

"Did that guy Fran ask you to do something again?" Before Soma's inner admiration fell, Awei's second sentence caused Soma to frown.

"Master Awei." Soma had to cough lightly as a reminder.

"It's none of his business." Kristina shook her head and replied, her attitude and tone were very firm, and when she saw that Avi was too close to her, she took a few steps back calmly, closing the distance Pulling it back again, Soma frowned again at this point. It is obvious that the chance he could create for Avi and Christina to be together in the recent period was in vain, "Also, please call me by my name .”

Some people have relatively long names, so they will have nicknames in the way of addressing them. Of course, this way of addressing by nicknames refers to companions with better relationships.

Tina, of course, is Christina's nickname.

And Christina asked Avi to call her by her name instead of her nickname, which naturally also had a very strong and obvious meaning of resistance.

"Where's Viscount Fran?" At this time, it was naturally impossible for Soma to put the initiative of the topic on Avi, so he said.

"Viscount Fran is over there. They just got out of the carriage." Christina was embarrassed to say that she got out of the carriage early because she couldn't stand the oppression in the carriage, so she casually passed the question, and then led the Soma went to the place where Sean and others got off. Of course, Avi was ignored by Christina.

Soma looked back at Awei worriedly, and sure enough, he saw a trace of hidden viciousness and resentment in his eyes. People like him who are full of scheming and good at forbearance don't have such emotions, that's the real thing. A strange thing. But Soma is not worried that Avi will cause trouble here. He is very clear about the ability of his nephew in name, at least he can still maintain his gentlemanly demeanor before he really tears his face.

Of course, on the other hand, it is actually because Avi is not Christina's opponent at all, otherwise Soma really can't imagine whether Avi will use force against Kristina. After all, he had tried this kind of behavior several times before, and every time his uncle would naturally wipe his ass.

"Viscount Fran, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Led by Christina, Soma quickly came to Sean's side and greeted him warmly.

People with insufficient status naturally choose to avoid it tacitly at this moment. After all, in a banquet of this level held at Hastings Manor, people of different classes will definitely have their own circles, and they want to be with those in the higher class circle. If you want to communicate with others, you definitely need an introducer, otherwise, if you rush forward to interrupt, you will be regarded as an uneducated barbarian behavior. For the sake of some vanity, of course no one would come up to interrupt Soma and Sean's passionate meeting so ignorantly.

But when Xiao En and the others turned around, not only Soma, but also Avi was stunned.

"Miss Ximi, you..." Why did you come here. "Avi hurried forward to say hello, but at this moment he already had a faint bad feeling in his heart, because Rena, whom he called Simi, was standing beside Sean at the moment, "Why didn't you say something before you came?" Well, if that's the case, I might as well pick you up in person. "

"No need." Rena said bluntly, "Fran and I came here together. This invitation seems to be useless, so return it to you."

After all, Rui Na directly returned the luxurious invitation worth hundreds of gold coins to Avi.

At this moment, almost everyone can see Avina's completely stiff face, and sensitive people like Rena, Sean, and Alfred can even feel the inner emotions that Avin is trying to suppress at this moment .

It was an extremely negative violent emotion.

In fact, if it was changed to a person with a poor psychological quality, I am afraid that it has really turned his face at this moment. After all, what Rui Na said just now is an unintentional fact, but for a nobleman, This is an act of blatant contempt. Moreover, the environment at this moment is still in Hastings Manor. After saying this, it seems to be contemptuous of the entire Hastings family.

Even Soma's complexion changed slightly, looking a little unnatural: "Hehe, Viscount Fran is really,...you really have a lot of friends."

"Hehe, Miss Ximi is a friend I met on the road, because our communication was very pleasant, so I decided to practice together for the time being."

Of course, Sean also felt the hostility hidden in Soma's words, but he didn't even pay attention to the entire Hastings family, so naturally he didn't feel that a mere Soma or Avi could pose any threat to him. It's just that there are still things that haven't been resolved right now, and if Soma can be a person, Sean still wants to recruit him, so his tone is quite polite.

"Because I happened to be coming to Hastings Manor too, and I saw that Miss Simi also had an invitation letter, so I invited her to come with me." Sean said with a smile, as if he didn't feel Soma's secret life at all. The hostility is average, "There shouldn't be any disrespect in this, right?"

"Not at all." Soma immediately replied with a smile, "Master Awei, can I trouble you to show Miss Ximi a little?"

"Oh, that's natural." Avi immediately realized that Soma deliberately wanted to get away from Sean and Rina. After all, he also knew what was going to be held secretly tonight, and Simi's identity certainly couldn't. Participating, so visiting Hastings Manor became an excellent excuse, "Miss Simi, let me show you around Hastings Manor....The main venue of the banquet is on the other side."

In fact, Rina doesn't really like going to banquets and things like that. What she likes more is practicing martial arts and training the soldiers under her command. At this moment, she suddenly missed those subordinates under her command very much. Training them is much more interesting than participating in this boring banquet at the moment, but she noticed Xiao En's subtle nod, so she could only nod helplessly and agree to agree with him. Avi leaves here together.

Of course, Avi had the idea of ​​trying to get Reina to join the Hastings family tonight, but in fact Sean knew very well that this was simply impossible, so of course he wouldn't worry about it.

"I don't know Marquis Jeles, where is he now?" Sean asked after Avi and Rena left.

"The Marquis of Jeles is in the council hall. Master Rhoda has arrived. Let's go there together now." Soma was also a little afraid of having a long night and dreams, and maybe something unexpected would happen if he stayed here for a while, so he also wanted to leave Sean threw it into the council hall, after all, there was another scholar, Jeles, who could communicate with Sean.

"Okay." Of course Sean would not object to this.

But at this moment, a sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded, accompanied by the shouts of several Hastings Manor guards.

Such a noisy sound naturally quickly attracted the attention of many people at the gate of the manor.

Soma's brows were tightly frowned, because of the series of unsatisfactory events and accidental knowledge of the relationship between Rina and Sean, he was already a little angry. Naturally, this moment just gave him a chance to vent, so after telling Sean to wait a while, he walked towards the main entrance, and at the same time shouted in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"It turns out that this is the way the Hastings family treats guests." As soon as Soma's voice fell, a crisp voice unique to young women responded, "I have seen it with my own eyes today, hehe."

Soma followed the prestige, but found that the person who came was a girl who was only about 20 years old. She looked a little petite and cute, but her temperament showed a maturity that did not match her age. The figure of this person quickly scanned Soma's mind, and then he immediately confirmed that he had never seen this girl before, but just when Soma was about to scold the girl, he caught sight of this girl. The family crest on the carriage in which the young girl rides.

This discovery made Soma swallow the voice that was about to scold him, and his face looked a little surprised.

At this time, Sean had also arrived at the main entrance, and he also saw the family emblem on the carriage, with a look of surprise on his face.

Because this family crest belongs to the unique family crest of the Boulder family!

As we all know, the Boulder family and the Nugus family are seriously at odds, and the Hastings family is a family attached to the Nugus.

So at this moment, what is this girl who is obviously from the Boulder family coming here for?

Almost everyone expressed this thought after recognizing the family crest on the carriage. (To be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
