Ghosts and Knights [Rebirth]

Chapter 17 Banquet Opening

September [-]th is the birthday of His Royal Highness Ahab Gast, the Fourth Prince of Nannarundo Kingdom. From [-]:[-] am, there will be a constant flow of carriages on the Northeast Street where the Fourth Prince’s Mansion is located, although the Fourth Prince’s birthday party is scheduled for [-]:[-] The bell started, but since it was a banquet for the nobles, chatting with cliques was always necessary, and everyone would tacitly arrive at the banquet location one hour in advance, and the organizer would naturally prepare for this chatting time.

At [-]:[-] a.m., a simple carriage that did not fit the status of aristocrats passed by on the Northeast Avenue. After waiting for a long time for the congestion to end, it finally stopped at [-]:[-] p.m. in front of the door.

"Master, there are only 10 minutes left until the banquet begins." Cynthia, who had been looking out the window, turned her head to look at Lansa, and then turned her head to look at the outrageously large courtyard of the Fourth Prince's mansion outside the car window.Cynthia attended the banquet today as Lanza's female companion.

"Enough." After Kabul opened the door of the carriage from the outside, Lansa stepped out of the carriage with long legs and gracefully got out of the carriage, then walked steadily to the other side of the carriage, opened the door, and stretched out his hand to Cynthia.In the eyes of others, Cynthia is just an ordinary lady, and he is just an ordinary nobleman. The noble etiquette must be complete, which is a matter of personal image.

"But if there is one more person, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Lansa had explained the rules before going out, so Cynthia put her hand on Lansa's and got out of the carriage with Lansa's help.At this time, Lansa had a noble temperament and a modest smile. Cynthia had to sigh that this man was a born nobleman.The other person seemed to have brought the knight's loyalty to the extreme, wrapping around Lanza like a loyal dog.

"If you're with Pei, you won't be blamed for being late." Lansa smiled slightly, then turned around holding Cynthia's hand, and saw Pei leaning on the large hollow iron gate at the outermost periphery of the fourth prince's mansion.

"Oh! Cynthia is so beautiful today." When he saw the carriage that was out of place with the surroundings, Pei knew that it was the carriage that Lansa was riding in. Except for Lanza, no one among the nobles would do such a disgraceful act However, when he saw Lansa get off the carriage, Pei was still slightly taken aback.

Was Lanza ever this beautiful before?His body is no longer as slender as before. Even though he is wearing a cumbersome dress, he can still see his strong body. His straight legs look more slender and powerful. His skin, which was originally fairer than normal men, seems to be fairer, silvery white Pei's long hair was tied loosely behind his head, with a modest smile, and a gentle demeanor that was neither arrogant nor impatient. When his eyes met, Pei's heart skipped a beat.

Cynthia glanced at Pei with a smirk.Lord Abelard certainly did not intend to praise her.

"Well, I think so too." Lansa turned his head and glanced at Cynthia.is it beautiful?Is it okay, "Waiting for a long time?"

Cynthia's mouth twitched.Master, it wasn't she who asked Lord Abelard to praise her, can you stop staring at her so obviously?

"If I'm waiting for you, how long is not too long. Go in quickly, the time is coming." Pei took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, but his steps were not in a hurry.To be honest, he didn't want to come today, because the fourth prince always pestered him to say some useless things inexplicably, and if he didn't answer well or said something wrong, he would lose his temper inexplicably. If he is entangled to death, he would rather go to Lansa's house to sleep.

By the time Lansa and Pei took Cynthia and Kabul into the huge dome banquet venue specially built by the Fourth Prince's Mansion, it was already [-]:[-]. As Lanza expected, the official birthday party had not yet started. , Ahab was waiting for Pei.

"Pei!"

Argus, Hall, Phil, and Ahab sat in the only box on the second floor. Although Ahab had been chit chatting along with the others, his eyes were fixed on the open door on the first floor from time to time. Seeing Pei's figure, Ahab yelled happily, turned around and ran downstairs.

Hearing Ahab's shout, everyone in the banquet hall looked in the direction of the door, and after scanning Pei's body, they focused on Lansa.

Lanza looked back with a smile on his face, and when he saw one or two acquaintances, he would nod and say hello, some politely returned the salute, while others hurriedly looked away.Everything was expected, so Lansa didn't have any sad emotions, and didn't even have the thought of lamenting the cruelty of the world. He was as indifferent as if nothing had happened. This demeanor was appreciated by some nobles.

"Tsk!" Different from Lansa's calmness, Pei was speechless, with a look of boredom flashing in his eyes, and then he regained the majesty of the head of the knight order, and looked expressionlessly at Ahab who was running happily.

"Good day, Your Highness Ahab, and happy birthday to Your Highness." The moment Ahab stopped in front of him, Pei knelt down on one knee, slightly lowered his head, and sent his birthday wishes to Ahab.Ahab is a prince. Although he is not Pei's immediate superior, he is still a superior. Even if he is annoying, he cannot be rude.

"Good day, Your Highness Ahab, and happy birthday to Your Highness." Lanza, who is not a knight, does not need to follow such etiquette, but just bends at 45 degrees to show respect.Cynthia, who was holding Lansa's arm, and Kabul, who was behind Lansa, saluted together.

"I thought Count Adonis wasn't planning to come." Ahab said to Lanza with a smile while helping Pei up.

"How dare Lansa refuse His Highness's invitation." Lansa stood up and smiled slightly.

"I hope Count Adonis can spend a pleasant day with me. Pei, come with me." Ahab decided to "take away" Pei from Lanza today by forceful means, so after the polite words, he pulled Pei by the side. He plunged into the crowd and quickly walked up to the box on the second floor.

"Hey! Lansa..." Pei couldn't do anything rude to Ahab, turned his head to look at Lansa, but saw Lansa waving goodbye to him, Pei stared, and was dragged away helplessly by Ahab.

"Master, is Lord Abelard all right?" Cynthia let go of Lanza's arm and took a step aside.Master, your jealousy is too obvious, that little eyes can be used as knives.

"Huh? Did you say Pei? It's okay. Does Cynthia want something to drink? Or something to eat? There are a lot of delicious cakes on His Royal Highness's birthday party. Does Cynthia like to eat sweets?" Lansa turned her head , smiling brightly at Cynthia, but it made Cynthia tremble inexplicably.

She will never talk too much anymore, absolutely not!

"Count Yadonis, long time no see, you have become more beautiful than before."

A playful voice sounded behind him, Lansa turned around and saw an old acquaintance.

"Duke Alan, long time no see." Lanza bowed slightly, saluted the 36-year-old uncle Duke, but yelled trouble in his heart.It is well known in the aristocratic circles that Duke Donis Alan is fond of male sex. This Duke has no intention of hiding it. He often walks around the city with all kinds of male favorites. He has shown his favor in many ways. He has just returned. He was found again.
