That’s Hilarious
Chapter 71: tit for tat
Entering the lord's hall, Viscount Whitney came over with a laugh.
"Roland, I knew I didn't misread you at the beginning. I didn't expect that you would destroy the trolls in just half a year."
Viscount Whitney's enthusiasm made Roland a little puzzled. Even though he was wearing armor, Viscount Whitney still hugged him.
Without waiting for Roland to speak, he continued: "About your visit, Duke Osborne has already sent me a letter. He said you are a good person and let me get along well with you."
Viscount Whitney was quite complaining about Duke Osborn's handling. He felt that Duke Osborn was obviously too lenient.
He was still very envious of Roland's territory, because that was the noble's deep-seated demand for land.
"This is something Duke Osborn looks up to. Compared with the bravery of the Whitney family, I am still a lot worse."
Viscount Whitney thought that Roland was complimenting him when he heard it. Later, he thought that the Whitney family was responsible for developing the Evernight Forest.
But let an outsider get this land, this person also mentioned the bravery of the Whitney family, obviously he knew about it.
Viscount Whitney's smiling face has faded, and he said with a very ugly face: "Do you have to do this? Roland."
Seeing that Roland was expressionless and didn't speak, Viscount Whitney continued: "You are humiliating a family that has been passed down for 5 generations. Maybe you don't know what that means."
Roland looked at Viscount Whitney's face and showed a smile. Then he said slowly: "Of course I know what this means, isn't it just war."
Hearing Roland's terrifying words in such a relaxed manner, the guards in the lord's hall only felt a little dry in his throat.
Looking at Roland, who is full of plate armor and a burly figure, wouldn't he just fight here. Anxiety made their hands that held the hilt sticky and sweaty.
"So are you going to declare war on the Whitney family? You need to know that you are just a quasi-aristocrat without a title."
Faced with Viscount Whitney's question, Roland of course answered affirmatively: "No, no, how could I declare war on the Whitney family.
I still respect Duke Osborne.
However, about the fact that Knight Jeremy came to rebel against Andal under your instruction.
The brave Whitney family is not very brave. "
As for the guard who heard this, he wanted to leave here immediately, and then act as if nothing had happened. But it's clear that this is just their wishful thinking.
Damn Jeremy, I knew he was unreliable, and Roland knew about it.
Roland's repeated provocation, Viscount Whitney really deeply remembered it in his heart. And he is already planning revenge, and he only needs an introduction to make Duke Osborn look good.
But Roland can't have an accident in Whitney City. He knows this, and Roland also knows this. That's why he is so unscrupulous.
If Duke Osborn knew they would make such a fuss, he would never have thought of letting them talk. Unfortunately, Duke Osborne did not expect this.
Viscount Whitney would not admit to this kind of questioning, he believed that no matter how stupid Jeremy was, he would not leave any substantive evidence, and he made a verbal promise at the time.
"I don't want to give any explanation for this matter, and you are from Osborne City. If there is evidence, the Duke will surely scold me for it." Viscount Whitney said the more clearly his thinking became. , a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Obviously not, then I don't have to care about your malicious slander. My lord has a lot of them, of course, it's all because of Duke Osborn."
Roland didn't refute anything, he was acquiescing to Viscount Whitney's words.
Then the two seemed to let go of their prejudices, and they had an awkward, innocuous chat. Roland, who couldn't stay any longer, said he wanted to leave.
However, Viscount Whitney invited him to stay for a night before leaving because of the fact that he was about to have a dinner party.
If the news of his unhappy quarrel with Viscount Whitney spreads to Duke Osborn, he must be very disappointed in himself.
At least to maintain the harmony on the surface, so that people can't pick out any faults, presumably Viscount Whitney also thinks so.
Therefore, he decided to stay for one night, which was considered to give the duke a face.
Looking at Viscount Whitney, who was smiling but not smiling, Roland agreed to his request.
It didn't take long for someone to bring exquisite dishes to the long table one after another.
Viscount Whitney did not invite the knights this time. Otherwise, Roland would still want to confront Jeremy on the spot. Presumably, Viscount Whitney took this into consideration and regarded this banquet as a family banquet.
Viscount Whitney introduced his son 'Marico Whitney' to Roland, but it seemed that Marico was very unfriendly to Roland, as can be seen from his silent attitude.
Marico had heard of what Roland had done at the city gate, and he didn't have a good face for the man who made his family lose face.
Although he already knew from his mother that Roland was a quasi-aristocrat, in his opinion, what a forest is called a territory, at most, is nothing more than a poor baron, so he despises Roland very much.
If it weren't for his father's presence, he would even plan to humiliate the former mercenary chief.
Everyone had no interest in chatting with each other, and the banquet ended in silence.
Roland, who came to the room, looked at the two guards standing at the door, pushed open the door indifferently, and walked in.
What he didn't expect was that there were still visitors tonight, and it was Vicky Whitney.
The two strolled in the dark garden.
A big wavy golden curly hair shines dazzlingly in the moonlight, UU reading www.uukanshu. com saw a snow-white face with melon seeds, her complexion was more radiant than snow, her eyes were like clear water, and the moonlight through her dress outlined her beautiful figure.
I have to admit that Viscount Whitney does have his reasons for wanting to 'sell his daughter for a good price'.
Roland didn't know what Miss Vicky meant, but he really couldn't hate Vicky.
And no matter how the conspiracy looked, it wouldn't have anything to do with her, so he accepted Miss Vicky's invitation.
"I hereby express my deep apologies to you for what my father did." Vicky put on her skirts and bowed her head at the same time.
After a ceremony, she continued, "Thank you for everything you have done for the Whitney family."
The snowy whiteness of this ceremony almost blinded Roland.
It's just that Vicky's words made him a little at a loss as to what he was talking about. Although there were all speculations in his heart, it was not confirmed.
"I heard your conversation, and that's why I didn't go at night. I'm sorry for the apology from the Whitney family, and it's only now that I'm in front of you."
After speaking, it was another salute.
This can make Roland feel very embarrassed, accept it, I feel uncomfortable, don't accept it, it doesn't seem to be good.
He simply shut up and said nothing.
It's just Vicky's face full of disappointment, I don't know why it makes Roland feel a little uncomfortable.
"Please don't be an enemy of the Whitney family, because... I like you!"
After saying this, Miss Vicky ran away.
This time it was Roland's turn to be stunned. This is really a...
It's just that it's not up to me to decide whether to become an enemy or not, and on the bright side, the Whitney family has a better chance of winning.
