Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 7. What Can Happen in the Banquet Hall (3)

“Your Majesty has decided to accept my thoughts. Thank you, for letting me know your intentions. ”

Of course it's not true. In the atmosphere, the king seemed determined to push the Earl of Eigen away. But there were many nobles who followed them, as well as the nobles of Earl Romon's clan.

There was no need to declare a crossroads between himself and the king. First, it's best to fix it like this.

You mean you'll never die? ’

It was a pretty experienced response. But Lycaen had no intention of retreating. One way or another, I had to shake Earl Eigen.

“Aha, is that so? So you're saying I have to be friends with you? ”

“Hmm?"

“The king says he wants to reconcile you and me. ”

It was a fairly personal story I shared with the king. Speaking about it in front of so many people was quite dangerous. But Lycaen had already decided to talk about it. Well, technically, that was the limit of what Lycaen had in mind.

Anyway, since I've already made up my mind, I didn't have anything to say. He is also proficient in responding to Earl Eigen's remarks.

“I don't see you well, but you must have said that because you must be upset about the nobles who are the pillars of the kingdom." Well, if that's the king's will, it's his loyal duty to obey. Come to my mansion for a day. ”

“Good. I'll visit you when I get a chance. ”

At the end of the sentence, Lycaen turned and took a large step back to his original position. Then, for a short while, I encountered Earl Romon's gaze on this side. And then nodded unseen to each other.

“Hey? What's wrong with him? ”

Caith looks surprised and sees Lycaen. He knew Lycaen to be a liberal and ignorant person, but he could not have done such a thing.

But it's always been a big misconception of Caith. Lycaen used to ridicule and treat those who think they are enemies as cruel and just like that. He didn't do it to Caith because he's a friend.

Earlier, next to Caith and Anness, the late Dovern asked in a quiet voice.

“Is that Earl Lycaen Prokers? ”

“Oh, my lord. Yes, he's my friend. ”

“Hmm, he's quite a fierce fellow. ”

“I see. Anyway, I'm sorry. I invited him over, but the banquet was pretty much annihilated by him. ”

Then Earl Dovern bursts into laughter.

“Haha, no. I really like that guy. ”

“Yes?”

Caith looks at the duchess, startled. Lord Dovern likes such provocative and ferocious behaviour of Likayen, showing that he is always calm and full of diligence.

“Don't young people need such beatings? ”

“Kick? That's not Kick-Ass... It looks like a thunder-naked freak." ”

“Don't you know that your friend, the Thunder Naked, is the intended man? ”

“Yes? Is that so? ”

“I don't know much about Earl Frost, but shouldn't it be obvious that aggressive provocations were intended to attract this kind of attention? ”

Of course, the method of provocation itself is the very nature of Riccianne.

“Hmmm... Then what is their intention? ”

“Well? I think it's hard to shake Earl Eigen……. ”

Meanwhile, Lycaen returns to his side. He greets the late Dovern by his side with a respectful greeting.

“Nice to meet you. I'm Riccianne, the owner of Earl Procurus. It is an honor to speak with Earl Dovern in person. ”

“Hehe, do you know how to behave like this? ”

“I hate to do it, but I don't know how. ”

“You don't have to do it if you don't want to. ”

Lycaen smiled and said as soon as he saw Lord Dovern nodding with a smile.

“If you don't mind, I'd love to. ”

“Haha, interesting man. But……. ”

Earl Dovern, who burst out a relaxing smile, suddenly turned to a serious face and asked with a faint voice.

“Were you an Earl Roman? ”

Lycaen looks at Lord Dovern in horror. For a very short time, I only shared my eyes with Earl Romon for a moment that no one else would ever notice. However, the Duke of Dorne did not miss it.

But in a moment of surprise, Lycaen smiled and said.

“You're as scary as I expected. ”

“You anticipated? Haha, you're a good joker. Now you expect an old man to be afraid of a date in the world? ”

“Yes, it still looks like a crouching predator to me. ”

“Ahhhh!”

The look on Lord Dovern's face fills me with amazement. This fellow in front of me knows. What you have in mind.

And Rikkien said in a loud voice, still not erasing his smile.

“I'm not an Earl Roman. It's actually the same to me as Earl Eisen or Earl Romon. ”

“Hehe, you meet another young man I like today. ”

“Another thing... Is the late Earl's granddaughter's son-in-law?" ”

Caith, who was listening quietly next to him, looked at Lycaen with his eyes frozen in surprise. It is because there is no agreement between Caith and Anness yet.

However, the answer of the late Duke Dovern was even more surprising.

“Hehe, you mean your friend? Hehe, you're a sharp fellow. ”

“Hahaha, it's not sharp, it's something anyone can see. ”

“Well, I suppose... there's still one obstacle left. I hope your friend overcomes that challenge well. ”

“I think it's going to be great. ”

“Of course. Anyway, it feels good today. But today is not a good day. ”

“I think so, too. ”

“Come and see me sometime. With your friend. I'd like to talk to you. ”

And the answer came out of Caith's mouth. That's loud enough that the banquet hall is ringing.

“Yes, I understand! ”

Of course, not to mention that everyone's gaze is once again focused on one place.

“I'm drooling. ”

Caith is still grinning, despite Lycaen's harsh words. Lycaen, who saw it, asked with a frustrated expression.

“Is it that good? ”

“Hehehe, of course. Wouldn't you like that? It's like getting permission to get married. ”

When she saw her friend who she liked so much, she eventually laughed. And he said as if he was joking.

“This is all because of me. ”

“Hehehe, there's no such thing. Quite a few. Thank you, my friend. ”

“Don't just say it, pay it back later. ”

“Just say the word. Uh-huh-huh-huh!"

“I'll keep that promise in mind. ”

At that moment, Caith felt a chill on his back from Lycaen. But he smiles as if he's mistaken for a moment.

It was then.

Chang!

With a sudden hiss, Caith turns his head in surprise. Sound came from the place where Lycaen used to talk.

“Hmm?"

Caith looks away for a moment and sees what's happening. A man is staring at her. The man's clothes are red and a glass of wine is rolling on the floor.

The man who was staring at Lycaen opened his mouth in a cold voice.

“What are you doing? ”

And at that moment, Caith noticed a meaningful smile on Lycaen's face.

What's wrong with him? ’

While Caith tilts his head, Lycaen asks for the man.

“What are you asking? ”

“I'm talking about this outfit. ”

“Clothing?”

“You pushed me on purpose as I was passing by. ”

Caith bursts into disappearance without my knowledge. It was so obvious. Someone who doesn't like Rikkien is picking on him. It's also one of the most expensive wine glasses in the banquet hall.

“I pushed you on purpose? ”

“That's right.”

“Hmm……. ”

Lycaen folds his arms and twists his head to the side, expressing no clue. And the man who saw him shouted.

“Are you going to pretend you don't know enough to make trouble on purpose? ”

“Hmm, pretending not to know.... ”

“You're a new nobleman now, so you don't know how nobles behave. By the way, the one who squanders and swallows the territory next to him without a search. Do you know that? ”

The content is condemned while being immensely respectful. At this rate, it's normal to react in any way, whether your hands are flying or insulting. The man quietly waited for Ricaien's reaction.

However, Riccianne's voice has no emotion.

“Well, let's say. So what do you want me to do? ”

The moment I bought a reaction that was too different from what I expected, I opened my mouth in embarrassment and difficulty.

“I apologize politely. It's true that my position is lower than yours, but I can't ignore our mutual courtesy. ”

“An apology... Well, there's nothing you can't do. ”

“Hmm?"

The man who was embarrassed by Lycaen's reaction was a man who put up a fight. It was because I didn't think I would apologize so easily. At that time, Lycaen looked at the man and asked.

“But who are you? ”

“Well, this is Bird of Gregor. ”

“I see. I'm sorry, Earl Gregor. ”
