Hearing the sound outside the door, Adil interrupted his thoughts, turned to look at the door, and then spoke.
The voice fell, and with a creak, the wooden door opened, and then a maid in a red dress walked in from the outside.
The maid looked very beautiful, wearing a red dress. At this moment, she looked at Adier who was looking at her, and she was a little at a loss.
"What's the matter?" Adil's voice sounded from the spot.
Looking at the young maid in front of him, Adil's expression became gentler and she looked approachable.
"A...Knight of Adir..."
Looking at Adil, the maid said nervously: "Princess Alina wants you to go to the banquet with her."
"Are you going to a banquet..." Hearing this, Adil was a little surprised, and then he realized in his heart: "By the way, today is the day when the royal family holds a banquet."
Knight canonization is a grand event held every five years in the Malan Empire.
After each canonization, as usual, the royal family would invite many nobles in the country to attend the banquet together to promote exchanges between all parties.
As a Knight of the Sky and the second runner-up in this competition, Adil is also within the scope of the banquet, so this time he will go to the palace with Alina.
These things were all explained by Alina in the previous period. It was only Adil who was busy practicing during this period that he forgot about them.
"Go back." Thinking of this and looking at the maid in front of him, Adil nodded lightly: "Tell the princess for me that I will go find her later."
"Yes." The maid in front of her bowed slightly, glanced at Adier secretly, and then withdrew with a blush.
"It's so nostalgic."
Looking at the maid's retreating back, Adil shook his head and walked towards the room.
Because he was going to attend a banquet next, he put on a decent black dress, put down the long sword he usually wore, and walked outside.
His residence is not far from Alina. Because he needs to be in touch from time to time, it can be said that he is very close, and he will be there in a short time.
On a platform, Alina stood there with Anum and a few other knights. After seeing Adil coming, she glanced at him a few times, then smiled and said: "Not bad, you are wearing the clothes you are wearing today."
, but it makes you look much prettier."
"Uh..." Regarding these words, Adier didn't know how to take it. He just stood there with a smile and said one word after another.
"Okay, let's go." Looking at Adil, Alina stopped teasing him and directly rode on the horse next to her, ready to set off.
Watching Alina's movements, Adil also mounted a tall black wildebeest beside him, followed Alina, and walked slowly forward as she walked forward.
The roads along the way are very spacious and there are very few people. There is no crowded feeling like other streets.
Adier was not surprised by this.
Nobles have their own status as nobility. The entire road in front of them is a road specially set up for nobles. Except for some nobles, there are no other people at all along the way.
Along the way, when they saw the team of Alina and others, the surrounding nobles gave way one after another. Some of them who were close to them even stopped to say hello to Alina and others.
For these nobles who took the initiative to show their kindness, Alina behaved very cordially. No matter who the other party was, she would stop and talk to them for a while, without showing her usual cold attitude at all.
Somewhere along the line this started to change.
When she saw a group of knights galloping ahead, Alina's face suddenly turned cold and became indifferent.
The originally spacious road began to become noisy. Seeing the group of knights running wildly in front of them, the nobles advancing in front gave way one after another. Some of them had no time to get out of the way, and were even squeezed out of the way by the other party. Their style looked extremely domineering.
Standing next to Alina on horseback, watching this scene, Adil frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.
"It's those people from Cannado." Anum said from the side, with a strong sense of dissatisfaction in his words: "This guy is getting more and more arrogant."
"There is no way." Adier said calmly: "The champion of the knight competition does have the capital to be arrogant."
"If you use all your strength, Adier, you may not..." Looking at Adier, Anum felt a little unwilling.
"Okay, there's no need to say this anymore." Adil smiled and seemed very calm about it: "The matter has passed, there is no need to dwell on it anymore."
This topic has been discussed.
After walking on the road for a while, they came to a gorgeous palace.
This is a palace that covers a large area. With Adil's current mental strength, if he spreads out with all his strength, he will not be able to know the specific scope of this palace, which shows that it is very scary.
In this palace, the nobles who were coming and going were walking towards one of the palaces with their wives.
"There are so many people."
Looking at the scene of people coming and going here, Adil sighed: "Didn't you say that the people attending this banquet are all big nobles?"
"Katutan City is the royal capital after all, and there are many nobles who are qualified to participate in the banquet." Alina said from the side: "These nobles and those powerful knights are all within the invitation range, plus these
A man’s wives and daughters naturally appear to be many.”
"Of course, although there are many people, there are also many dilapidated nobles among them." She smiled and pointed out to Adil: "Although some nobles have a long history, they have been passed down to this day and only have an empty title left.
Well, when it comes to strength, it’s nothing.”
"Speaking of which, Adier, you don't have a wife yet."
She changed the topic to Adil: "Are you interested in finding one here?"
"With your current strength and reputation, I believe that many nobles are thinking of marrying their daughters to you."
Listening to Alina's words, Adil was stunned for a while, not thinking about this at all.
For some reason, when he heard this topic, the shadow of Edith suddenly flashed in his mind.
That is his fiancée, who must be waiting in the Elf King's capital at this time, waiting for him to finish this experiment and go out to meet her.
"No need." He smiled and then said, "I have someone I like."
"Really? That's a pity." Alina said with some pity, "I originally wanted to introduce you to some noble girls with high status."
While talking, they continued to walk forward and came to the palace where the banquet was held.
Compared with the outside, the size of this hall is not too large, but there are hundreds of people sitting inside at this time.
Among this group of people, Adil also saw many familiar people.
In addition to the royal family members who have met such as Angele and Lolis, others like Cladis are also sitting in this hall at this time.
As the prince of Gounod, despite his embarrassing status, he was indeed qualified to participate in this banquet in terms of status, so he was also invited.
At this time, he was sitting in a corner, eating cakes alone, looking a little alone.
The surrounding nobles passed by him one by one, but they all passed by him as if they were avoiding the plague, and no one dared to sit next to him.
Some nobles looked at him with hidden disdain and ridicule, and they didn't seem to have much favorable impressions of him.
"Why are you drinking alone here?"
Seeing Kradis' lonely appearance, Adil walked up to him, looked at him and said.
"teacher!"
He raised his head slightly, and when he saw Adier in front of him, Kradis was a little surprised and stood up quickly: "Teacher, are your injuries healed?"
"There's still a little injury, but it's no longer a problem." Adier kept a smile on his face and said helplessly.
"Sooner or later, I will get this debt back for you, teacher." As if he had thought of something, Cladis' eyes turned cold, and he looked at Adil and promised.
During the period after the game, he had not lost contact with Adil, and he would often come to Adil's manor to train.
Under Adil's careful training, his body has also changed very well. The power in his body changes almost every day. Now, he is close to the threshold of the Sky Knight.
This change not only made him grateful to Adier, but also made him full of confidence and not afraid of any challenges.
"It's good that you have this heart." He patted Cladis on the shoulder and sensed the other person's true emotions. Adier was also very happy in his heart.
Professor Cladis, although he initially went there because of his identity as the son of destiny, he believed that he was also very attentive in teaching, and he did not hold back anything that was considered top secret among other knights.
Over time, he also regarded Cladis as his half disciple.
"Just stay here for now."
After looking at Alina behind him, he looked at Cladis in front of him and said, "Remember to be careful."
"I understand." Cladis nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.
After explaining some things, Adil left Cladis' position and returned to Alina.
After a while, as time passed, the banquet began.
A burst of melodious music and singing resounded everywhere in the hall, with the unique low neighing style of the Malan Empire, constantly echoing around.
In front of you, some carefully trained dancers were dancing inexplicably in front of you. Many of their movements looked very beautiful. Together with the beautiful posture and appearance of the dancers, it looked like a beautiful scenery.
In the four corners of the hall, other performances are constantly being performed, either the magician's superb magic or the circus's exquisite performance.
Various programs were shown here one by one, making all the guests present very immersed in watching, and the atmosphere of the banquet was warm again and again.
After the program at the banquet went on for a while, the host of the banquet also appeared in front of Adier.
It was a middle-aged man wearing decent clothes and a gentle face. He was holding a scepter in his hand and was constantly explaining on the stage.
This middle-aged man's name is Dillard, and he is the only prince in the Malan Empire who remains in the royal court. He is also the half-brother of this generation of King Malan and the uncle of Alina and others.
As the only prince left in the royal court by King Malan, Prince Dillard is naturally extraordinary. Not only is his talent outstanding, but his talent as a knight is also amazing.
According to Alina, her uncle was already a titled knight more than ten years ago, but now, his strength may be even more terrifying.
This strength, combined with the other party's identity and power, is definitely one of the best in the entire Malan Empire. Even some top nobles with glorious knights must show enough respect to this prince.
"Yeah, yeah... look who I see coming..." A low and awkward voice came from a distance.
Adil raised his head and saw a tall and burly figure walking from a distance.
Cannado was wearing a large knight's robe and holding a wine glass in his hand. He was walking from a distance with a sarcastic smile on his face: "Come on, come on, you can be considered an opponent after all. Let me toast you."
His tone was sarcastic, and the smile on his face was awkward, which made people feel uneasy and subconsciously wanted to stay away from him.
Sitting there silently, looking at Cannado's appearance, Adil frowned secretly, but still raised the wine glass in front of him and drank down the fruit wine in front of him.
"Not bad, not bad." Looking at Adier's movements, Cannado smiled exaggeratedly and said: "Speaking of which, we haven't finished the last battle yet."
"It just so happens that we have a chance this time. How about we try it again in this place?"
He looked at Adil, and the sarcasm on his face became more and more obvious: "By the way, it also allows the nobles who come this time to appreciate the heroic appearance of our knights."
After hearing these words, despite Adil's good temper, he felt angry in his heart.
No matter who you are, if you are provoked again and again, you will feel angry in your heart.
What's more, the provocative person in front of him was like an ant to Adil who could be killed with just a raise of his hand.
"Cannado, don't go too far." Alina's voice sounded from the side.
Looking at Cannado in front of Adil, Alina's face was cold and her eyes were fixed on him, as if she were looking at a dead person.
