Earl Sidney cast his gaze over, and Chris also met his eyes without fear.
As the two sides looked at each other, electric sparks seemed to appear in the air, and even pedestrians in the distance felt that the atmosphere here was somewhat unusual.
"Blood Dragon Man?" Sidney's pupils shrank suddenly and he asked in surprise.
Joyce next to him was stunned.
"Why, you want to avenge the nobles who died in Titan City? Just come and do it!" Chris said nonchalantly. He doesn't cause trouble, but he's not afraid of it either.
At worst, the nobles in the city will be slaughtered again to let them continue to exchange blood.
"No, no." Sidney smiled eagerly, "You helped our Prince get rid of a serious problem, and it's not too late for us to thank you. His Highness has told you that if you pass by here, you must be well entertained.
You. Come on, follow me back to the city lord’s mansion.”
Chris was a little dazed, but he quickly figured out the key point.
The big problem the other party mentioned was the second prince of the Shadow Leopard Kingdom. This kid has always wanted to stab his elder brother in the back, and he has very strong forces under his command, so there is no guarantee that he will actually succeed.
And Chris not only killed him, but also wiped out the remaining forces in Titan City, which was equivalent to helping the eldest prince.
Chris shook his head and refused: "I'll just go to the hotel and check in myself. I don't need to bother you."
After all, this was the first time the two met, so they had to be wary of others. Moreover, this was an enemy country's sphere of influence, and Chris didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble.
"You are our distinguished guest. If His Highness knows that I let you stay in the hotel, he will definitely scold me to death." Sidney said with a smile.
Chris cursed in his heart: If your king knew that you entertained me, he wouldn't skin you.
But then I thought about it, even though I blocked the plan of the two countries' coalition, everything I did had only benefits and no harm to Prince Shadow Leopard.
If the joint forces of the two countries in the Expansion Order successfully attacked the Eagle Kingdom, then the second prince should be the first to contribute, and he could also draw many neutral nobles to his camp during the war.
If Prince Shadow Leopard wants to usurp the throne at this time, the success rate is very high. He also mentioned it when he recruited him.
Therefore, the eldest prince actually does not want to develop Ling Nengcheng, as this is not in his interest.
Joyce at his feet tried to get up, but was slapped to the ground by his father.
"Father." Joyce covered the red slap mark on his face, tears welling up in his eyes, "What are you doing~ Ouch."
Although he knew that the other party was doing it for him to see, Chris still felt secretly happy.
Forget it, let's go to the city lord's mansion and stay for one night.
Chris agreed: "Okay, then please ask the Earl to lead the way."
"Follow me." Sidney walked forward lightly.
Chris followed closely with Lilith, and pedestrians on the road cast fearful looks at them.
Joyce glared at Chris's back fiercely and sighed helplessly.
He knows that he has no chance of revenge. Not to mention that his father will not help him. Even if his father is really on his side, what can he do to the Bloody Dragon Man?
······
Twenty minutes later, they arrived in front of the city lord's palace in the city center.
The mansion was built very grandly, with four soldiers in iron armor standing in front of the door.
"Chris, please come in." Sidney personally led the way, which made all the servants in the mansion widen their eyes in surprise.
"Faraday!"
"Sir, I'm here." A man who looked like a butler hurried over.
Sidney ordered: "Go, let them cook a sumptuous meal, and then send my jar of ten-year-old wine to the living room. I have distinguished guests to entertain today."
"Yes." The butler lowered his head and left quickly.
Chris followed Sidney to the first floor of a certain castle in the mansion. This was a hall with a large purple wood round table in the middle, surrounded by twelve chairs.
Sidney sat down on the main seat, Chris came to his left, and Lilith sat opposite.
There were only three of them sitting at such a big table, which made Lilith a little uncomfortable.
Not long after, Butler Faraday ran over with a wine jar covered with ashes, opened the lid, and immediately the fresh smell of grapes mixed with the aroma of wine wafted out.
Faraday diligently poured wine for the two of them. Just as he was about to pour it for Lilith, Chris raised his hand to stop him.
Soon, a dozen young and beautiful maids came in carrying plates of exquisite food and placed them on the dining table.
Lilith had never seen so many delicacies before, and her eyes were widened.
And Reimu couldn't help but get out of Chris's body and sit down next to Lilith.
Sidney, who was in the main seat, looked surprised when he saw this "greatly transformed living being", but he wisely did not ask.
After delivering the food and wine to the table, Butler Faraday quickly left with the maids without stopping and closed the door.
There were only four of them left in the hall, and Reimu and Lilith couldn't wait to eat. They didn't know how to use a knife and fork, so they simply brought the plate in front of them and ate with their hands.
After all, these are friends of the Blood Dragon people. Sidney did not show displeasure because of their rude behavior. He picked up the wine and said to Chris: "On behalf of His Royal Highness, I toast you a glass and thank you for helping him get rid of the thorn in his side."
A thorn in the flesh.”
Chris clinked glasses with him and said, "Nothing, I'm also here for the Eagle Kingdom."
"But you helped him eliminate the obstacles in Titan City. Your Highness will always remember this friendship."
The two of them drank the wine in their glasses.
Sidney teased and said: "You should be a Marquis now, right? Even I have to call you Mr. Chris."
"No way." Chris curled his lips and said, "The old king just gave me an earl title, and the fiefdom is still a place like Thorn Ridge."
He gets angry when he talks about this.
"What?" Sidney said excitedly, "If you hadn't turned the tide, I'm afraid the Eagle Kingdom would have been severely damaged under the siege of the two countries' coalition forces. For such a great achievement, not to mention being a Marquis, even if you are made a Duke, it won't matter.
However, your old king is too stingy."
"Who says it isn't?"
The two raised their glasses again and drank to the same idea.
"If you were from the Shadow Leopard Kingdom, you would have been invited by the king to the royal capital to train you." Sidney praised, "You are so powerful at such a young age, and your future is limitless. It is better than mine.
Two good-for-nothing sons are too strong."
Chris thought, this banquet might not be that simple.
"Maybe you think I'm too young, so let me have more experience in the countryside."
