The attendants quickly brought out plates of food from the kitchen. Everyone's food was divided and carefully matched by the chef according to the tastes of the masters. Because Ronan had not been back for a long time, his food was
Made according to Lavin's standards, the food for the three men was mainly meat, while the portions for the ladies were smaller and included some desserts.
The first thing that was served was a plate with an iron basin. After placing it on the table, the waiter opened the plate and revealed a piece of steak weighing about two kilograms. Then the waiter used the plate to pass the knife and fork to Ronan, and then returned
Some food such as green salad and fried fish were served, as well as a glass of red wine to accompany the meal.
After all the food was served, Ronan pretended to close his eyes and muttered in a low voice:
“Thank God for the gift!”
Looking at Ronan who looked deeply poisoned, Raven frowned and said nothing, while Andre quietly rubbed the painful hand that Ronan had pinched before, maintaining a gentle smile on his face while shouting loudly in his heart.
He cursed Ronan and the people he bribed in the past. Of course, he still felt uncontrollable horror in his heart. When he heard the news, he trembled inwardly and almost lost his composure in front of the housekeeper.
Andre was thinking in his mind how could Ronan come back alive and change so much. Listening to what he just said and the way he pinched himself, does he already know that I was behind it all?
Andre was brainstorming here, while Raven said nothing. After three minutes of eating in silence, Kate was the first to break the silence.
"You must be having a hard time during this time, Roderite. Thank you so much for your hard work!" Kate spoke to Ronan in a gentle tone.
Putting down his knife and fork, chewing for a while and then swallowing the steak in his mouth, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin while reminiscing about the outstanding skills of the Earl's Palace chef. In Rodritt's memory, Ronan knew that Kate and Lina had been together.
Rodrit's relationship was relatively good. After all, Rodrit was sincere in his treatment of others, and as women, Kate and Lina were not involved in the power struggle in this family.
"Everything was a test for me. I survived and got better! It's worth it!"
"Second brother, how did you escape from the battlefield? Can you tell me?" Lina Pu asked Ronan with a curious look on her face.
"After God helped me repair my body, I killed the soldiers left behind by the Eagle Men, and then grabbed the horse and went through the Jackdaw Forest to the Kingdom of the Holy Cross. Because I had been fighting in the past, I waited until now to come back."
"Wouldn't you be lonely in Holy Cross by yourself? And I've always been curious about what's in the forest! It's a pity that my father won't let me go. Can you tell me about your experience? It must be very interesting!" Lili
Na put on a flattering look that was hard to refuse.
"I have made a lot of new friends, and I don't feel lonely. I will introduce them to you when I have time, and I will tell you about them when we are both free later!" Ronan responded with a gentle smile and agreed to Lina's little suggestion.
ask.
Later, Kate and Lena asked Ronan a few more questions, basically expressing concern and wanting to know what Ronan was going through. Ronan also answered with a smile.
"Second brother, I heard that you allow your servants to take your last name?"
Andre seemed to have figured it out and suddenly interrupted.
"Indeed, what's wrong?"
Ronan was having a lively conversation with Lina when he was suddenly interrupted by Andre, who was a little unhappy and raised his eyebrows in response.
"That's just a black slave. How can you give a slave a noble surname?"
Upon hearing this, Raven, who was originally focused on cutting steak, also paid attention, but did not speak.
"Oh, first of all, Meluses is not a slave. He has won his freedom. Furthermore, it is my right to give my followers surnames. Do you think I have done something wrong?"
After he said this, Ronan also remembered that Gaoling and Moran did have some black people. They did not seem to be the native race of Yasluo. Although a small part had citizenship, most of them were in the former rebellion.
Later he was demoted to a slave.
"I just think the second brother is a little unconsidered. If you want to give him a surname, you can choose some commoner surname!"
"Oh, no need to say more, brother, if you think I am wrong, then we can compete and let God decide what is right and what is wrong!"
Andre gave in instantly, chuckled and started to change the topic:
"Second brother has become a devout believer when he comes back this time. I remember you said that you have the power given by God. I wonder if you can show it to us?"
Listening to Andre's teasing words, Ronan raised his eyebrows. He knew that many of Andre's words were meant for Raven. After all, these points were not made by Raven, who valued aristocratic rights and hated theocracy.
Don't like it.
"God-given power is not for performance! However, you will be able to see my divine power soon, very soon! I will go back to rest after I finish eating!"
Ronan showed a smile that made Andre and Raven, who was looking at him, feel a little heartbroken. Then he swallowed the last bite of steak, drained the wine in his glass, saluted to Raven, and turned around to leave.
Raven and Andre, who felt inexplicably annoyed by Ronan, also lost their appetites, and the family dinner quickly broke up.
After walking into the house and locking the door, Andre punched the sandbag next to him angrily. Then he hit the sandbag like a violent storm and shook it. He didn't behave like he did outside.
He was physically weak and not good at fighting, and his originally gentle face was distorted with anger.
"Damn! Damn! Damn Roderite, how can you still or dare to speak to me like this, chosen one? Demigod? Do you think you can scare me by pretending to be a god? Damn it! I will definitely make you regret coming back!
"
Andre growled to himself while continuing to hit the sandbag. After venting and calming down, Andre put on his false mask of gentleness again, opened the door and confessed a few words to his confidants outside.
On the other side, Ronan was lying shirtless on the bed and communicating with Aldridge through the system. Butler Connor had prepared a room for Meluseus, which was next to Ronan's bedroom. Ronan would let him
Went back to rest.
"How long will it take for you to arrive?"
"It will take about a month at the earliest. Commander, this little prince's physical fitness is too poor. We must take care of his physical strength and he can't walk too fast at all!"
"Didn't you prepare a carriage for him?"
"He wanted to ride away on his own. This little prince was young and very stubborn back then, but he trusts me now."
"That's good, take good care of him. He is the most important part of my plan. Without him, I will have to take a lot of detours."
