After receiving the notice, Ronald, who had nothing to prepare, immediately left the room with Costat.
Under the leadership of [Nikos].
They only walked a few hundred meters inside the castle, and after going around several buildings with different functions, they saw the venue where the banquet was held.
It was different from the few banquets Ronald had attended in the past.
[Nikos] The banquet venue for entertaining distinguished guests did not have any indoor parts, but chose an open-air circular square as the venue. Ronald carefully observed the surroundings and quickly determined the basic shape of this place from the beginning.
This is a dish-shaped basin with a generally circular outline, neatly cut, and each bluestone brick large enough for one person to sit on it is laid out in a stepped manner, and above it is the banquet structure that will be added later.
Putting aside these redundant buildings, you can actually still see a lot of things similar to the style of the Roman Congress Square.
Follow the waiter's instructions and take your seat.
As the most powerful first-level spellcaster among the guests, Ronald's position was arranged to the right of Claudia. After briefly greeting Her Royal Highness, Ronald heard Costate behind him whispering a reminder.
road:
"Sir, when we held the banquet last night, I discovered that there seemed to be something underneath the ground here."
"Oh?" Ronald nodded imperceptibly.
Then his attention turned to the bottom. Ronald's reconnaissance spell did not find any gaps in the terrain under the ground, and there was no response to the fluctuation of magic power.
But only the soul-based ability from "The Divine Comedy - Paradise" allowed Ronald to detect some subtle reactions.
In this place that is now used as a banquet venue.
In fact, there are a certain number of souls sleeping there. Even if they are inactive at the moment, Ronald can feel the desire to fight hidden in these souls while sitting peacefully on the ground.
"..."
Ronald's expression changed.
Based on the knowledge he has mastered, the souls in this world that can leave traces after death must be extremely emotional before death, or can only appear if their obsessions cannot be resolved. They are definitely rare existences that are only one in a hundred; and according to the situation Ronald is currently sensing,
...There must be quite a few dead buried here.
A concave circular square.
And there are also a large number of warrior souls sleeping there.
The entire castle once served as a military fortress.
When the three conditions came together, Ronald immediately realized the past purpose of this place - a place of execution for prisoners, or an arena for people to watch life-and-death duels.
The royal family of [Nikos] now uses this place as a banquet venue.
I really don’t know how to evaluate it.
Although he had mixed feelings, Ronald still did not express his opinion on this.
After all, this is the castle of the [Nikos] royal family.
Since the little anomaly under the ground is not a trap for the Grid personnel, he, as a guest, will naturally not be too troublesome.
It was getting late now, and the people in [Nichos] had no intention of keeping the guests waiting here. Only three or five minutes after Ronald had been seated, there was a sound of footsteps on the road leading deeper into the castle.
before these people arrive.
Claudia on Ronald's left seemed to be interested, and then introduced to Ronald:
"Ronald, those coming over there are members of the royal family of [Nikos]. I remember you should know some of them, right?"
"The Countess and I met in the Springs before. I don't know if we can meet again this time."
Ronald responded to Claudia and turned his head to look.
result……
Although the mood is a little turbulent, it is also reasonable.
Gu Gui
[Nikos] The people attending the banquet here are naturally the Countess Leticia and her prince husband, and just behind the two of them, Luna, who Ronald just got rid of yesterday, is there.
"hehe……"
"If you think about it carefully, it's not a problem."
In the process of getting along with herself, Luna's performance in various aspects reflected her identity. It was just that she didn't know what the child's status was in the royal family, so she dared to take such measures as running away yesterday.
And Ronald also had doubts in his mind.
He knew Countess Leticia's ability very well. From the small to the big, the magic possessed by the [Nikos] royal family should not be weak. So in yesterday's experience, why did Luna say that she has no combat ability?
"Ronald, are you curious about the girl?"
Ronald set his sights on Luna, and it was impossible for Claudia, who was talking to him, not to notice. So the princess smiled slightly and immediately reported the other party's information:
"This is Leticia's daughter Filia. She didn't attend yesterday when she heard that she was in poor health. She came to the banquet after her health improved today. And don't look at it, she is only fourteen years old - anyone who has seen the beauty of this princess
All the handsome young men are lining up to pursue her."
Claudia's introduction was very impressive.
But in the eyes of Ronald, who was familiar with her, there was something unnatural about it.
Ronald thought briefly and immediately reminded in a low voice:
"Claudia, you are actually not that old. Don't imitate His Majesty Danterian in speaking in private."
"..."
Ronald never expected to be reminded like this by himself.
——Claudia unexpectedly lost her composure!
When Her Royal Highness the Princess heard this, she was stunned for two seconds and then her face turned red. She was obviously very embarrassed.
But after all, Claudia has been trained in royal life since she was a child.
This loss of posture only lasted for one breath, and Claudia adjusted her expression again, no longer looking the same as before.
"Ronald, you are so brave!"
"Even within Greed, there are not many people who would talk to me like this."
Claudia seemed to be scolding Ronald, but the smile in her eyes was not hidden.
Seeing Her Royal Highness the Princess's expression, Ronald apologized understandingly:
"Then I'm really sorry, my respected princess..."
Suddenly, Ronald's voice weakened.
Because he suddenly realized that after Claudia introduced the mother-daughter relationship between Luna and the countess, an issue that could not be ignored was placed in front of him.
Ronald was thinking about it for a while, and soon couldn't help but ask:
"Wait a minute, Claudia! That countess...I remember she was not even thirty this year?"
"It is not polite to discuss a lady's age." Claudia scolded Ronald again, but at the same time, she made two numbers for Ronald with her fingers under the dining table.
Two, eight...
The countess is twenty-eight years old, and her daughter Luna is fourteen.
So when she was fourteen years old, Countess Leticia had already given birth to Luna, and her pregnancy time for Luna had to be pushed forward one year!
"..."
At this time, Luna's eyes happened to spot Ronald at the banquet.
Faced with the strange look in the girl's eyes.
Ronald's current mood became weird in this unspeakable state.
