Along the way, Zheng Dong silently watched the scene in the castle, his heart going from shock at the beginning to numbness at the end.
When he saw the castle of the Allen family before, he thought that the nobles were all like Allen, but it turned out that he had thought too much.
Inside Lionheart Castle, various buildings are very complete, just like a city within a city. No wonder it is privately called Lionheart Palace by the servants.
The entire Lion Castle only serves one person, and that person is the uncrowned king of Andaya Province, Marquis Sain.
The place where Zheng Dong and his party stayed was a small independent building in the style of a European villa.
In Zheng Dong's opinion, this small building for entertaining guests is even more grand and spectacular than the main castle of the Allen Family Castle.
What a rich man!
Zheng Dong couldn't help but feel this way.
The next day.
Allen and Zheng Dong in disguise, led by the head butler, went to the castle where the ball was held.
The Marquis de Saine held his birthday party in his main castle, which shows that he attaches great importance to this ball.
At this gathering, the guests were not only the vassals of the Marquis of Sain, but also many nobles from outside the Andaya province, who came to celebrate the birthday of the Marquis.
After all, Marquis Sain is one of the few powerful marquises in the Eagle Kingdom. He is one of the great nobles of the kingdom. He has huge power and his own strength is even more amazing. He is a powerful sky knight.
It is only reasonable for other nobles to come to make friends.
Allen was very inconspicuous among the nobles attending the party, but it would not be wrong to say that he was the worst noble.
In fact, the most miserable nobles in the field are those honorary nobles who have lost their fiefdoms.
These people are those whose territories are poor and are not good at running the business. In the end, the territory cannot make ends meet and they have no choice but to sell it. They are called honorary nobles.
It can be said that these people are the objects of ridicule by all nobles.
But even so, they still had to attend such gatherings held by nobles. On the one hand, they wanted to show to the outside world that they were members of the nobility, and on the other hand, they wanted to be appreciated by other nobles in order to revitalize the family.
They couldn't miss the party held by a nobleman like the Marquis de Sain.
As soon as Allen entered the banquet venue, a familiar noble came to say hello.
"Alan!"
When a handsome man with long blond hair saw Allen, his eyes lit up and he quickly walked up.
"How long has it been since we last met?"
Walking up to Allen, the handsome man immediately opened his arms and the two hugged him tightly.
"Harry, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"I didn't expect that after your boy graduated from the Knight Academy, he went home to inherit the territory, and the girls in the royal capital didn't care about it." After saying this, Harry winked and gave Allen a slap.
Zheng Dong stood next to the two of them, smiling as they watched them reminiscing about old times.
"Who is this?"
After a while, Harry finally noticed Zheng Dong.
Allen's eyes flickered and he pretended to be relaxed: "This is the administrator of my territory..."
"Hello, Mr. Harry, I am Master Allen's administrator. You can call me Zheng Dong."
"Zheng Dong?" Harry shrugged, "What a strange name."
"Everyone else said that." Zheng Dong said with a smile.
Harry obviously has a very close relationship with Alan. If it weren't for the Marquis's ball, the two of them would have had a long conversation.
"Okay, Harry, this is the Marquis's ball, not the knight academy," Allen stopped reminiscing, "I have something else to do, I'll see you later."
"Okay," Harry raised the goblet in his hand, "I'm also going to look for the girl at the ball."
When it was almost time for the guests to arrive at the banquet, the host, Marquis de Saine, was led by the valet and belatedly arrived at the banquet venue.
As soon as Marquis Sain arrived, everyone unconsciously became quiet and turned their attention to him. At this moment, he was the protagonist in the scene.
Marquis Sain is a burly middle-aged man, said to be over fifty years old, but as a powerful sky knight, he does not look old.
He was wearing a black tuxedo, lightly holding the goblet and shaking it gracefully.
"Thank you for coming to my birthday party. I hope you all have a good time at today's party."
Marquis Saiin didn't talk much. As soon as he finished saying this, he was about to start the dance, but he was interrupted by someone.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"
Viscount Winter quickly walked out of the crowd and interrupted Marquis Saine's words with a smile.
"Winter," Marquis Saiin said with a smile when he saw his right-hand man, "Have you prepared any surprises for me?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the Marquis." Winter flattered him gently, then raised his hand and patted his palm lightly.
After a while, a cage covered with black curtains was carried in by a servant.
The cage was nearly two meters high, and it was very difficult for the four male servants to lift it. It was obvious that the things in the cage were not light.
"What's this?"
Marquis de Sain pointed to the items in the cage. Although he already knew what was inside, he still asked with a very cooperative smile.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Winter stepped forward and suddenly lifted the curtain on the cage.
"Is this... an elf?"
"Yes, it's an elf! I saw it at the slave auction house in the royal capital."
"No, this is not an ordinary elf, this is the royal family among elves, the moon elves."
"Where did he get it? It's so rare!"
"yes!"
Saiin was very satisfied when he heard the discussion on the field. He was not rare for things like elves, even if the elf in the cage was extremely beautiful.
As the uncrowned king of the province of Andaya, the Marquis of Sain has never seen any kind of beauty, and he is not obsessed with beauty.
On the contrary, he enjoys the pursuit of other nobles, especially the pursuit of nobles outside the Andaya province. Only this pursuit can make Saiin feel happy.
In the cage, the petite female elf curled up into a ball, her thin gauze clothes loomingly outlining her figure. Facing everyone's instructions, her weeping expression could inspire the bestiality in men.
Winter was overjoyed when he saw that Marquis Sain was satisfied with the gift. Just as he was about to say something, Allen walked out of the crowd.
"Your Majesty the Marquis!"
Winter turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw Allen, his face slowly darkened.
