"Baron von Byron of Serendil, it is a great honor to be here for your banquet, Lord Craggs."

"Baron Serendil's knight Elaine, it's a great honor to meet you, Lord Earl."

Earl Craggs received Byron and Elaine in the hall, and the Earl welcomed the new arrivals.

"Well, two gentlemen, don't be polite."

Earl Craggs walked up to them in a velvet coat.

"It will take a while to get here from the south. It seems that I was right to send the invitation in advance. You came very early and the banquet is still being prepared. But rest assured, I have enough food and wine to entertain you, you brought it. Soldiers can live in empty houses next to the stables, and I will let the servants take you to your room."

Earl Craggs always likes to be sullen, as if someone owes him money. However, he is very good and has a high reputation, so when he led the team back to Suno, even King Harous couldn't force him to stay.

Of course, Byron had only seen Earl Craggs three times this time, and he didn't really understand the Earl. However, the other party's warm welcome without losing the aristocratic demeanor really made Byron feel very comfortable, and it also raised the earl's position in his heart a lot.

Of course, he would not despise the lord of Suno because of this. As an earl lord, he can manage the family and territory so well, and he can leave a good reputation both internally and externally. Naturally, the city government does not need to say much. In terms of force and cruelty, Earl Craggs only personally killed enemies and executed prisoners, the number of which is equal to the current Peony Mercenary Corps. After Suno took over, two veteran families have completely withdrawn from this land because of the count's suppression.

"Didn't your Excellency Fattis come with you? I remember he is playing for you now, right? Byron."

After a few greetings, Earl Craggs asked Fatis, and Byron was also taken aback.

But he soon remembered that Fatis was a Suno noble, and his family also had a certain influence in Suno. In addition to the mistake made by Fatis that caused a sensation in the local aristocratic circle, Cragg Earl Spey knew that he was also normal.

"He... he didn't enter the castle. You know, he is still plagued by past mistakes."

After thinking for a while, Byron replied.

"His father has been worried about him, and his family needs an heir." The count said sadly.

"Benoir has two good sons. It's a shame that this happened. But Fatis is now your knight, even as Lord Suno I can't ask him too much."

"But I hope you will talk to him and let him participate in this competition. It will be good for him, for you, and his family."

"I will, my lord."

Byron agreed, and as the count said, the participation of Fattis is good for everyone.

He can promote his reputation in Suno, and Fattis can walk out of the shadows to a certain extent. His father knows that he will also thank Byron and Earl Craggs in the future, and the whole family will naturally fall to the Earl Craggs. Aside.

The count chatted with him a few more words and then left. Byron also asked Johnny, who was showing him a horse, to invite Fatis into the castle.

But when Byron put some of his belongings into his room, Johnny came back and told him that Fatis had disappeared. According to the guarding soldiers, he had gone to the stable with the other soldiers.

Byron was a little helpless, but in his heart he forgave himself for the knight's somewhat rude behavior, and went to the stable with Johnny to find him in person.

...

At this time, Fatis was standing at the door of the stable to comfort his horse. He was worried about meeting someone from the family at the door of the castle, so when someone came to lead Byron's soldiers to their room, he also followed in.

He knows that he is always changing his mind, and that his self-assertion is a rude to his loyal lord Byron. He wants to find Byron and apologize to him.

But just when he left the stable and entered a path in the castle, a female figure attracted his attention.

She was wearing the clothes of a maid in the castle, her hair **** on the top of her head, wrapped in a whole piece of linen. But from the gaps in the cloth, Fatis could see the hair flowing out like melted platinum water.

Her face lifted the decadent spirit of Fatis. The white skin, jewel-like eye pupils, the face like the sculpture of an ancient goddess, and the proud "shung" fing on her chest, all showed. With her charm.

Her steps were a little messy, she looked left and right when she walked, looking confused, as if she was lost.

No, she is lost!

"Hello, dear madam, can I help you?"

Fatis walked over, bowed slightly, and asked in knightly manners.

"Nothing, sir... wait, I am not..."

When Fattis initiated an inquiry, the lady habitually placed her hand on her waist and nodded. But she immediately realized that she was hiding her identity, so she seemed a little flustered for a while, and her speech also became messy.

"Dear Madam, you don't have to hide anything, your temperament and makeup cannot be covered by these mundane things. No matter what, I will keep it secret for you, but I still ask if you are..."

"Joanna, Joanna Hella Praias, I am the sister of Count Praias, and it is an honor to meet you, sir. If you can keep things a secret, I will be grateful."

Joanna also resumed the manners of the nobles at this time, and pleaded after paying a salute to Fatis.

"It's an honor to do something for you, Ms. Joanna. But what are you going to do? Please forgive me for asking, but I have to confirm your safety."

When Fatis said this, Byron, who was looking for Fatis, also saw the two of them from the side of the aisle on the other side, but the two of them did not notice him because of the conversation.

"Even if you say that, sir, but I..."

Joanna took a step back, hesitating whether to tell Fatis, and at this moment Byron also walked over from behind and entered his line of sight.

Before she had time to remind Fatis to pay attention to his back, Byron's hand was already on Fatis's shoulder.

"Hello, Fatis, I have been looking for you for a long time, and remember to call someone to tell me next time you go to do your own business."

"Ah, my lord, I'm sorry about that, please forgive me."

"Of course you can. Also, may I ask this lady, next is von Byron from Serendil~lightnovelpub.net~ dare you to ask?"

Joanna had originally planned to leave here while the two were talking, but it was clear that Byron paid a lot of attention to her, and also greeted her with noble courtesy.

"Well, I think my camouflage technique is really bad."

Joanna sighed softly when she saw Byron who could recognize her at the first glance.

"That's not the case, ma'am. It is your temperament that makes you stand out from the crowd, not clothes or other decorations."

Byron's words were true. Joanna's beauty was at the level of an international movie star even in the era when he lived, and her appearance and figure were better than Jamila's. And the aristocratic temperament in her, which can be felt far away.

"Well, Mr. Byron, I have heard of you. I am Joanna, the sister of Count Praias, and I hope you and this gentleman can help me."
