Chapter 209 The Duke's Banquet

The Duke of Ascot's mansion is located in the center of the southern part of the fortress, and the towering gray wizard tower is its most obvious landmark.

As the duke of the empire, Ascott nominally owns tens of thousands of square kilometers of land including Kuanglan Fortress. The grasslands, mountains and lakes around the fortress are all his territory. He is also the supreme commander of the fortress's elite legion of 150,000 barbarians. He is definitely an admirable existence in the western front of the Titan Empire.

The Duke's Mansion is not far from the Rolo's house. The convoy protected by more than a dozen guards and hundreds of family warriors arrived in the square outside the Duke's Mansion in less than half an hour. There were already hundreds of carriages parked there. The noble patterns on the luxury carriage carriages clearly show the identity of the owners, and they are all well-known figures in the fortress.

As Miss Vivian's new guard knight, Han Fei was very lucky to follow her and Marquis Pang En and others into the Duke's Mansion. Most of the guards could only eat cold wind in the square outside.

The Duke's Mansion is not very big. In fact, his clan is far away from the Titan Capital, and only a part of the family is here. Within the scope of the empire, there is only one person with the highest authority. Although Duke Ascott leads the fortress legion, it does not mean that these armies will unconditionally obey any of his orders.

This is the means of checks and balances of the empire. No empire wants to have too powerful family forces in the local area. Local families like Rolo and Tieqi are often also used as restrictive forces, maintaining a delicate balance between each other.

The dinner was set in the first floor hall of a huge villa. Today is the engagement ceremony of the seventh granddaughter of Duke Ascot and a noble child, and the bride-to-be is also one of Vivian's close friends.

The floor of the wide hall is paved with white white snow-flake stones, outlined with gold threads. Four exquisitely carved stone pillars lead directly to the dome more than ten meters high. Looking up, you can see the star-studded night sky through the glass inlaid on the dome. A huge crystal lamp hangs down, and countless crystal clear crystals reflect dazzling light, which complement the wall lamps on the surrounding walls.

Exquisite, luxurious but never vulgar, fully showing the style that the Imperial Duke's mansion should have.

On the left side of the hall is a spacious restaurant, and on the right side are the dance floor and salon teahouses separated. This structure is exactly the same as the reception hall of the mansions of the rich and nobles of the human race. A long table with white cloth has been arranged in the restaurant, and all kinds of exquisite food and wine are placed on it for guests to use at will. In the middle are dotted with a few bunches of red roses that can only be cultivated in the greenhouse.

The men and women nobles and knights and officers of the Kuanglan Fortress held silver tableware and chatted with each other while enjoying delicious food. The well-trained servants and maids were shuttled back and forth to serve with sincerity. The atmosphere on the scene was quite warm.

However, in the hall, Han Fei did not see the figure of his master Duke Ascott. A servant from the duke's house hurried over and whispered a few words next to Marquis Ponen.

Marquis Pang En nodded, turned around and said to the other family elders and Vivian who were accompanying him: "You go and eat something, I'll meet the Duke."

Of course, there was no objection. Marquis Pang En followed the servants straight to the second floor along the stairs, while the elders dispersed or went to enjoy food or chat with acquaintances.

"Miss Vivian, can I help you get some food?" Coup, who had been following behind him, asked diligently.

"If you are hungry, go and eat it yourself. Don't bother me!" Vivian said as if she was chasing a fly.

Without paying attention to Coup, she naturally took Han Fei's arm and smiled: "Ads, go, I'll take you to meet my good friend!"

The smile seemed to have completely forgotten Han Fei's rude behavior towards her in the afternoon and the swearing and curse that he wanted to give Han Fei a good look.

Coup, who was beside him, lowered his head, preventing people from seeing his distorted and deformed face because of jealousy, and an extremely vicious look appeared in his eyes.

In a corner of the hall, Han Fei met the protagonist of the dinner, Niya, the seventh granddaughter of the Duke of Ascot.

However, unlike his imagination, the girl who should have been wearing a white gauze dress was dressed as a female knight. Her figure was extremely slender, and the red and gold-edged knight's dress made her look heroic. Her pretty face was clearly angular and shaped as if it was carefully crafted. Her deep purple eyes were sharp and vivid, and she faintly exuded a unique sturdy aura of a knight.

Around the duke's granddaughter, there were five or six noble ladies with different styles surrounded like stars, who were definitely the focus of attention of the noble children and young knights in the hall.

"Sister Niya..." Vivian let go of Han Fei's arm and threw himself into the other party's arms like a bird lying on his own: "I miss you so much!"

Niya smiled slightly, lowered her head and kissed Vivian's pink pretty face, but her sharp eyes fell on Han Fei: "Do you really miss me? I think I have a new knight following me, and I have long forgotten my sister!"

"Yes, yes! Vivian has long forgotten us!"

"Sister Niya, don't be fooled!"

"I saw them all when they came hand in hand just now!"

The ladies next to him immediately followed him and Vivian blushed and hugged Niya and said coquettishly: "It's not like this..."

Could it be a pair of lilies? Seeing the two of them having sex with each other, Han Fei felt a chill, but under Niya's gaze, he looked calm and composed.

Vivian leaned into Niya's ear and said a few words. Niya was moved and his eyes looked at Han Fei also became different.

"Vivian, don't whisper!" A noble lady smiled and said, "Why would you introduce us to your guardian knight!"

"Let me introduce you to you. This is my guardian Ades..." Vivian gave the other party a angrily blank look, walked back to Han Fei and introduced: "Don't make any decisions about him!"

The ladies laughed again, and their crisp laughter attracted many admiring eyes around them, and Han Fei, who was among the flowers, also received a lot of attention.

"Sister Niya, where is your fiancé? Why didn't I see it..." Vivian looked around and asked, "I have prepared a gift for you!"

"Stop talking about him, a waste..." A disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of Niya's lips: "If it weren't for grandpa, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to him!"

At such a grand engagement dinner, Han Fei was so straightforward that the words and actions of the Knight Miss were all looking at him, but the noble ladies, including Vivian, were not surprised at all.

"But the gifts are still indispensable, take them out quickly!" Nya smiled.

Vivian smiled and took out a beautifully packaged box from her handbag, and delivered it to Niya like a treasure.

Niya took it without hesitation and opened it, and there was a dark golden wrist guard inside!

Spirit Beast Bracers! Isn’t this the Spirit Beast Bracers that Marquis Pang En rewarded him with the volcano? In the afternoon, he was borrowed by Vivian and has not yet returned it. She actually gave it to others as a gift!

However, Han Fei did not mess up because of this. He gave the spirit beast's wristband, but he gave it away. Anyway, no one could take the Woking inside, but the fact that this young lady's behavior was a bit jaw-dropping.

"Spiritual Beast Bracer!" Nya stroked the bracer in surprise: "You really want to give it to me?"

Vivian secretly glanced at Han Fei and found that Han Fei's face was calm. A hint of disappointment suddenly flashed through his eyes. He wrinkled his little nose and said, "What's there to be reluctant to leave? I'm not a knight and I'm useless to keep it. It's better to give it to my sister!"

"I know Sister Vivian is the best!" Niya smiled and said, "Originally, my grandfather promised to give me one, but after I was promoted to Marine Warrior, now I don't have to beg him! Let's do this, and I will give it to you when he gives it to me in the future!"

"No, I have one more!" Vivian glanced at Han Fei proudly, flipped his slender wrists, and another exactly the same spiritual beast wrist guard appeared in her hand.

Damn! Is the spirit beast wrist guard so worthless? Han Fei was really speechless. Now Vivian is undoubtedly his own.

"I heard that your Luo Luo family once discovered the secret treasure of an ancient wizard, and now it seems to be true..." Niya smiled and said, "Then I'm not polite, let's do this, I'll find a way to catch a beautiful and cute battle pet and give it to you!"

"Sister Niya, that must be more cute than Woking!" Vivian smiled pursed her lips, shook the wrist guard of the spirit beast in her hand, and a white light flashed, Woking suddenly appeared out of thin air and was hugged by her.

Fortunately, Wojin was in a non-combat state, otherwise she would be able to be suppressed directly!

"Wow! What a cute pet!" The girls next to them looked at Wojin in her arms with a shimmering look, and asked in unison: "Vivian, where did you find it?"

Niya was stunned because this extremely cute pet actually brought her a sense of danger!

"Woking is not an ordinary pet, it is a high-level battle pet!" Vivian said proudly, like a child who got novel toys showing off to his companions.

"Well, I seem to have seen such a war pet in a book. If the above description is correct, it should be the form of a Golden Wolf King in the western land and sand sea after advancement!"

A voice suddenly came from the side, and Han Fei was shocked and immediately turned to look.
