Chapter 54: Banquet Shock (1)

The evening banquet time was soon, and the lit house of Hetante City was brightly lit. Jessica and Roger took a carriage to the gate of the lord's house. Adams followed him without hesitation, and even carried a file bag in his hand.

As soon as they walked out of the carriage, they saw Rudendolf waiting at the door with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, Princess! The noble gentlemen of Hetante City have long wanted to see your beauty. They have been waiting in the banquet hall for a long time!" Ludendolf said with a smile, looking polite.

Roger was still abdomen. This old guy really knew how to act. But he had to look happy.

"Then I am so honored. I also want to meet all the gentlemen in the country." Jessica also said with a smile.

Jessica is still powerful. After all, she is born as a princess and has a different temperament. Although she knows that they are calculating each other, she can still give in vain. Roger couldn't help but think intimately.

"By the way, why didn't Commander Singh come?" Ludendorf looked around and found that Commander Singh of the Guards did not come to the banquet together, and asked in surprise.

"Oh, I feel a little ashamed to say that some soldiers in the Guards were trying to go back to Enpe and were making a big fuss in the camp. Commander Singer is going to deal with this matter!" Jessica replied with an embarrassment.

"Hey, maybe they are eager to miss their family!" Ludendorf looked sympathetic on his face, but he was secretly happy. Although Singer could not come and could not poison him, he was also entangled by the soldiers who were making excuses in the Guards, which would be more beneficial to his plan.

All three of them entered the city lord's mansion with their own ulterior motives, and then, led by Ludendorf, they arrived at the large restaurant in the main building in the castle.

Roger walked into the restaurant and found that the long table, which was more than 30 meters long, was filled with nobles and their wives.

And after they walked in, everyone stood up and applauded.

As a princess, Jessica had to stand up and say a few words at this time. At that moment, Jessica stood on the stage and according to the standard model, she said a lot of thanks to the noble gentlemen in Hetante City for their loyalty to the kingdom and their contribution to the construction of city defense fortifications. At present, the enemy is approaching, and everyone needs to unite and fight against foreign enemies.

After Jessica finished speaking, a burst of warm applause rang out in the restaurant. Then, Jessica said: "I came to Hetante City this time and brought a surprise to Hetante City on the order of my father--"

When everyone heard this, they immediately waited and saw that Jessica had any surprises to announce.

"Adams, bring up the father's document!" Jessica looked at Ladons and said.

After searching the file package for a long time, Adams said with a frustration: "Your Highness, the file may still be in the hotel. I'll get it!"

"Didn't I ask you to prepare it before going out? Why did you forget to bring it?" Jessica said angrily: "Then you go back and get it right away! Go and go back quickly!"

Adams responded and hurried out.

A hint of apologies appeared on Jessica's face, and she said to everyone: "Sorry, my chief guard forgot to bring the documents, so I can't announce them immediately. Please have a meal first! I'll announce the news later!"

Ludendorf felt something was wrong at this time. But now the arrow was on the string and he had to fire it. After pondering for a while, he still signaled the servants to start serving the food and let everyone have a meal.

After everyone started to eat, Jessica and Roger kept cutting beef and peeling fruits, but they never gave a mouthful of food into their mouths.

Rudendolf saw all this in his eyes, but a hint of mocking appeared on the corner of his mouth. After a moment, he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Let's have a drink for the arrival of His Highness Jessica, the beautiful princess!"

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses and drank them all. Jessica and Roger looked at each other, but picked up the glass and drank it, then sat down again.

At this time, several nobles finally found something was wrong. It seemed that neither the princess nor the consort had eaten the food on the table. Why is this?

Just as the banquet was halfway through, Ludendolf stood up and said loudly: "In addition to greeting His Highness the Princess, this banquet tonight also has one big thing to discuss with everyone..."

Jessica and Roger looked at each other and thought to themselves.

Rudendolf continued: "Now everyone knows that Is's 80,000 army has conquered Linxi Town. I wonder what you think about this?"

As soon as Ludendorff said this, all the nobles in the banquet hall whispered. In fact, they could come to this banquet hall so neatly today, most of them wanted to see if His Royal Highness the Princess and the Lord of the City have any way to overcome the difficulties. Their fiefs are all in the villages and towns around Hetante City. Although they can give up their family business and escape, the nobles who have lost their fiefs will lose their source of income. They do not want to say goodbye to their previous luxurious life.

"I wonder what will the Marquis have to deal with it?" a nobleman stood up and asked.

"I will introduce someone to you first, and he will tell you the current situation. After talking about the situation, I will give you another suggestion to see what everyone thinks." Ludendorf smiled slightly, and then slapped his hands twice.

At this time, a tall red-haired man walked out of the inner hall.

Roger suddenly recognized the man as Arthur. So Roger quickly whispered to Jessica: "This man is the Ice warrior Arthur I discovered last night."

Jessica nodded slightly, and she thought to herself that Adams and Singer should take action as well.

Arthur walked to the front desk of the restaurant and glanced at the nobles who were dining with a cold look. He found that among these people, he did not feel the breath of the strong. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a full breath: "Everyone, I am Arthur, the special envoy of the Lightning Army of the Kingdom of Is. He was sent by the Regent Prince of Wales to inform you. Now our Iss army has made all the preparations for the attack and is expected to launch a full-scale attack in three days. If you recognize the situation and surrender to our country, then our country can ensure that your title and territory remain unchanged. If you resist stubbornly... hehe, it's just killing people! We have done a lot of such things!"

Arthur said, and the whole restaurant was like a blowout. All the nobles were amazed. Some people who had quick brains immediately thought that since Arthur was brought in by Rudendolf, he was afraid that he would have surrendered to Is long ago. Wouldn't he fall into the trap when he comes here?
