Plump grilled sausages and skewers are sizzling on the fire, dripping with oil; freshly baked bread is soft and delicious; bright red apples and crystal clear grapes exude a faint fragrance... the chef of Blackhammer Castle has always
There has never been a moment as busy as now. For this wedding banquet, Rhodes spent all his money, brought out the best food, and dedicated it to the guests.
In the hall in front, the lords of the North and their knights gathered at the moment. The wedding of Rhodes and Caroline was held under the auspices of Pastor White. All kinds of eyes gathered, including envy, jealousy, loyal blessings, and others.
Depressed.
The priest was mumbling something on the stage, but some of the guests in the audience were already impatient. The lords sitting in the front were still patient, and the knights sitting in the back row... some were promoted by force and were born with it.
He is a gangster who has no interest in such an elegant occasion. He just thinks that the old priest is talking nonsense. He can't wait for the ceremony to be over and have a good wedding banquet.
On the stage, Rhodes also felt that such a ceremony was too cumbersome, but in order to get married in the presence of the northern lords, he endured it. The purpose was actually there. This wedding was not just a wedding, it was an oath of Black Hammer.
Fort and Heidelberg have been closely linked since then, and Rhodes and Caroline will enjoy a very important say in northern affairs.
Lord Edmund of Binglan Castle and Lord Digel of Snow Rock Castle cast affirmative glances, but Lord Hillel of the largest castle in the north, Watch Castle, cast a slightly disdainful gaze. Rhodes
I know what the great lord is thinking. He probably stole the show this year and wiped out his prestige. However, in terms of strength, Watch Castle is still the strongest in the North. There is no doubt about this at present.
of.
Finally, the priest finished his long prayer, and after a series of complicated and complicated ceremonies, the wedding banquet began.
The servants brought the roasted food up in batches, including ten roasted suckling pigs that were roasted to a crispy yellow color, with ten different kinds of fruits in their mouths, which made the knights salivate. After the meat dishes, there were vegetarian dishes and fruits.
Wait until the end. When the food is halfway served, various clowns and actors gradually come on stage to perform, so that guests can enjoy enthusiastic dance and drama performances while eating delicious food.
This time, even things like the wedding were all handled by Rhodes. Sometimes Rhodes really felt that he needed a real manager around him, a real lord's hand. Otherwise, he would have to arrange such small things by himself.
Aren’t you going to be as busy as a dog from now on?
After the wedding, Caroline walked back to the room surrounded by servants. She had to change into simple clothes before coming out. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to drag her long wedding dress to the table. And Rhodes took advantage of this opportunity.
Reunion with some old friends.
"I wish Lord Black Hammer, King of White Bear, war hero... whatever it is, I wish the great Lord Rhodes a happy wedding!"
I don't know which drunk man in the crowd suddenly stood up, raised his glass high, and shouted loudly. The crowd responded one after another, and the cheers and glasses of wine continued.
Rhodes had no choice but to turn around and smile at everyone - "Have fun, everyone has fun."
Soon, Dean, the young lord of Iron Ring Castle, came over with a wine glass. He looked drunk, with a faint blush on his fair face. He looked at Rhodes, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. Because among them
In the eyes of those people, although Rhodes is an uncle-level person, he is still handsome. So...
Rhodes smiled and stood up to receive him. Although he despised him in his heart, this drug addict was sanctimonious on the surface but corrupt on the inside. Rhodes just glanced slightly and saw Dean on the table of the Iron Ring Castle.
The justly named wife and the scantily clad purple-robed woman were sitting on both sides of Dean's seat. According to current terms, they were the mistresses... Rhodes guessed that if Dean's father-in-law, Lord Cyril, hadn't also come today,
Well, I guess this guy wouldn't even bring his own wife out. The girl in purple robe is his beloved.
"Congratulations, Lord Rhodes. My father often mentioned you when he was alive. We also fought side by side many times during the Erengrad rebellion. You showed me what a battlefield commander is and what a true brave man is.
.The combination of you and Ms. Caroline will be the most perfect couple."
Dean came over and spoke with compliments. This would have been unimaginable in the past. You know, when Dean's father Aubrey was in power, Iron Ring Castle was much more prosperous than Blackhammer Castle. Back then, the Beastmen
During the invasion, Rhodes also asked Dean's father, Lord Aubrey, to borrow troops. But now, in just two years, everything has changed. There are constant rumors about the Iron Ring Castle's financial difficulties. People's lives are getting worse every day.
One day. It is said that the empire that I have built all my life, my son will lose in a matter of minutes. This is what I mean.
"Thanks."
Rhodes responded perfunctorily.
"By the way, how are the refugees in Erlengrad resettled?"
Rhodes changed the topic to.
"Oh? Are you talking about those beggars who are extremely poor and want to go into the city to make a living? If they can work, I will take them in. If they are not strong enough, I will stop them directly outside the city. The Iron Ring Castle is the same as your territory.
It’s not a place for free food, isn’t it?”
Rhodes smiled, but his heart was full of contempt, who is like you, an imbecile?
"Where's Alves? Why didn't I see him?"
Rhodes changed the topic again. It was really hard to chat with this wealthy young man.
"Oh...you mean that dwarf."
"He is your uncle."
Rhodes corrected.
The expression on Dean's face suddenly turned ugly, "He is not my uncle. I don't have such a deformed uncle. The Aubrey family has noble blood, how can there be such an ugly creature as a dwarf?"
He speaks his mind.
When Rhodes saw this, it seemed that he could not carve out the rotten wood and said nothing more than speculation. Forget it, let's not go into details anymore. However, Alves did not show up on such an important occasion, which really made Rhodes faintly worried.
In the middle of the chat, Caroline appeared in a tight little dress. She put on some light makeup, her delicate facial features and fair skin, and paired with the tight dress, she was the absolute protagonist on the scene. The guests were all
Full of praise, Dean quickly stepped forward to talk, but Rhodes blocked him directly.
"My wife and I still have something to talk about. Please come back later."
Rhodes said, protecting Caroline, putting his arm around her shoulders, and sat down with her.
Dean, who had a shiny head, returned to his seat reluctantly. Dean's little lover Sophia could be seen casting a strange look. The look should have been hostile, but Rhodes saw in her eyes
I saw another more perverted desire...
"Tonight, help me keep an eye on these two people."
Rhodes summoned his men and gave them instructions.
