Chapter 186 Making things difficult
A group of people came and went in a vast way.
Except for Ailian's parents and uncle's family, almost all the remaining people are distant relatives who depend on their families. Whether in the Kingdom of Foster and the Omore Empire, it is very common to seek a life with noble relatives.
Several servants took the luggage from Locke. In addition to Ailian and his personal supplies, there were also gifts bought for their relatives by the two of them in a joint venture. After all, Locke was here to meet the "female parents" for the first time, and it was not appropriate not to bring anything.
Ailian's parents were very happy about Locke's behavior of buying gifts. Now there are not many people like him who are polite and elegant in conversation.
Locke didn't know what temperament? This was all caused by the subtle influence of him and Angelina, Grace and others over time. Not to mention anything else, at least after arriving in the Omore Empire, no one who knew Locke connected him with the civilians.
As for those gifts, Locke can only say that he didn't spend a penny, he bought them all on his own initiative.
Uncle Bissel took a deep look, and without saying anything, the old man followed everyone without saying anything.
The place where I stayed was the castle of Ailian Family. Although it was just a small town, the castle located in the center of the town was extremely exquisitely decorated.
This is a castle with a strong cultural atmosphere of the Omor Empire, which is very different from Forstan Castle.
Lock unconsciously compared this castle with Baron Kaidozi's castle that he visited during the Kingdom of Foster, and concluded that each has its own merits. Although the rough and simple castle is suitable for him, this castle that is more comfortable to live in seems to be good.
The dinner was held in the castle. Ailian's parents seemed to want to hold a grand welcome party for their daughter, but on the other hand, they did not want to neglect Locke, a guest.
The singing and dancing party salon, coupled with the endless stream of pastries and teas from the maids, did not make Locke's mood fluctuate too much. Whether it was in the capital of Fosterstein or the gatherings at Qiao Jin's house, they were more than one level.
However, Locke prefers the comfortable atmosphere here, because there are no nobles who bother him, and he doesn't need to engage in a rigid social engagement. Just eat your own and drink your own.
"Young man, do you often attend such parties?" Baron Bissel came over with a glass of rum.
"Yes, but I prefer the relaxed atmosphere today." Locke raised his wine and clashed with the old man.
The special wine of the Omor Empire is rum. Locke likes sweeter wines. It would be even better if there is ale. Unfortunately, it is exclusive to the common people. At such aristocratic gatherings, ale is rarely seen.
The appearance of ale wine means that the owner of this banquet is a down-and-out nobleman, which will arouse ridicule from other nobles.
The white rum and the red wineglass clashed in the air, the old and the young looked at each other and smiled, killing the glass of wine in their hands.
Locke could watch the wind everywhere, but Baron Bissel could not. Today, in addition to him and his brother, the two nobles, the lords and noble knights in the territory also came, and even the barons who came to the party from the next door all needed their brothers to accompany each other.
Nodding at Locke, Baron Bissel left with a glass of wine.
Seeing the old man chatting and laughing among the nobles, Locke unconsciously thought of Baron Kaidozi in the Kingdom of Foster, his former boss, who were all the same kind of people, Locke sighed.
"Why are you sitting here?" Ailian, wearing a white dress, appeared in front of Locke. "Don't you get to know the young talents here?" Ailian said in more of a teasing tone.
Locke was stunned at first, then shook his head: "No interest." This was the first time he saw Ailian wearing such a dress, so he looked at it for a while.
Unlike Locke who can sit here in a low-key manner, Ailian is one of the focus of the night. Before she could say a few words to Locke, several groups of noble young men came to chat with him.
Judging from the way Ailian talks with them, they should be familiar with each other, most of them are the children of nobles nearby.
Although Locke tried his best to keep a low profile, he still attracted people around him to look at him, both openly and secretly. They wanted to see what characteristics the young man who came out of the same carriage as Ailian had.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed. Locke could not be said to be ugly, but he was not at all involved with the coach. He insisted on saying the advantages. Locke's eyes were very bright, giving people a feeling of being very energetic. Moreover, he was always in the army. Locke's physique was more than stronger than these noble young men.
The evening party still maintains this relatively easy-going atmosphere. The gatherings of local nobles are not as good as those in God. There are always rules. Locke has been more relaxed and comfortable from the beginning of the banquet.
until……
"Oh, I heard that Miss Ailian has returned from the imperial capital!" A middle-aged male voice came from the door of the banquet hall, and a middle-aged nobleman with a hooked nose strode in.
Behind him was a thin young man, and there were a lot of nobles following behind them. Judging from the number, there were more nobles present at the banquet.
The originally empty banquet hall suddenly became much more crowded, and the atmosphere became much weirder.
"Vissue Simach, welcome!" Baron Bissel put down the rum he was holding and gave a cordial hug with Vissue Simach.
Then he smiled at the thin young man next to him and said, "This is Weilong. How long hasn't been there? He has grown taller and the young man is much stronger." As he said that, he patted the young man's shoulder.
Viscount Simak had heard that Ailian was back, so he brought his son to recognize his future wife. Unexpectedly, he heard on the way that there was a young man who came back with Ailian. Viscount Simak had a bad premonition at that time.
And I also heard that the young man came back in the same carriage with Ailian, and Viscount Simak's face became even darker. Not all the nobles behind him were the little nobles he led. Many of them came to join in the fun, and read the jokes of him as the viscount.
It is said that people don’t hit people with smiles. Baron Bissel smiled and talked to his father and son. Viscount Simak couldn’t keep his face covered.
There were too many nobles around. Viscount Simak looked in the banquet hall for a long time, but he didn't see Locke sitting by the window.
"Uncle Bissel, where is Ailian? Take me to see you quickly." The thin man said to the silver-haired old man. Although he had never seen Ailian, he had long admired this top student in the imperial capital who had walked out of John Thurston and had long wanted to kiss her.
"Ailian, come and see Weilong." The silver-haired old man smiled and waved to Ailian who was standing behind his parents.
After Ailian walked over reluctantly, Viscount Simach asked inadvertently, "That Ailian classmate from the imperial capital, please bring it out for me to see you. I have never seen a second student from Princeton Royal Academy except Ailian."
Before Viscount Simak's words were finished, the nobles who were originally in the banquet hall looked at Locke unconsciously sitting by the window. Of course, Locke also heard Viscount Simak's words. At this time, he had to stand up.
"Hello!" Standing up, Locke walked over from a distance through the window, reached out to say hello to Viscount Simach.
Viscount Simak did not receive the hand that Locke handed over, but squinted his eyes and stared for a long time before speaking: "Are you a nobleman?!"
