The Devil’s Cage Chapter 55: Prelude to the dinner

The residence of Marquis Wharton is not as big as it is imagined, nor is it decorated with magnificent gold, but it has a full sense of the times.

Kieran doesn't know how to appreciate antiques, let alone antiques in Dungeon World, but his spirit of formidable and Intuition can be keenly aware of the breath of years.

It's like this stone statue in front of me.

One-sided shield bearer.

"This is my favorite statue."

"It is a symbol of our family and one of the treasures-in rumor, it was ordered to be carved during Atandin I, and then Atandin II was given to our family."

When introducing the statue in the courtyard at the gate, Cul Wharton looked proud and proud.

"It's very good."

Kieran nodded.

This is not an echo.

In most of the time, Kieran is not a person who likes to echo, unless it is necessary.

And now?

No.

Kieran is simply from the representative of carving skills and morals.

It’s needless to say that the skill of carving can be as vivid as a layman like Kieran, and it is naturally a Grandmaster handwriting.

As for the moral?

You know what Marquis Wharton did.

In the opposition of most of the nobility, the marquis stood up in front of the Atandin VI world. Isn’t it the king’s most loyal guard, just like the shield bearer in front of him?

Moreover, Kieran can be sure that Cul Wharton will inherit his father’s will.

Although the contact time is not long, Kieran is quite confident in seeing people.

Cul Wharton is a very simple and loyal knight.

Like this time.

After hearing the praise of Kieran, Cul Wharton who regarded Kieran as a friend immediately laughed.

"I know, you will like it."

"Wait a minute, the dinner is over, I will show you my other collections."

"Although I really want to bring you into my family's treasure house, I still can't be the master."

The young nobleman, as he spoke, motioned Kieran toward the hall behind the courtyard.

Favorites?

Treasure?

Kieran was shocked.

Then, he turned his head and took a serious look at the young aristocrat who was still unaware, still surging, and our ‘treasure hunter’ started heart slightly excited.

However, immediately, he restrained himself.

Some things can be done.

Some things cannot be done.

Kieran knows this very well.

He does not want to be a captive of desire.

He prefers to control desire.

Appetite...

It’s okay to indulge a little bit.

After all, he refrained from others, is he a bit rewarding?

Life is so bitter, only you are strawberry.

Inexplicably, Kieran began to miss shy grass again.

So that on the way from the courtyard to the lobby, Cul Wharton said nothing, Kieran didn't listen at all, just nodded mechanically.

"Colin, wait for me a little bit."

"I need to change my clothes."

"I will come back soon."

After entering the hall, Cul Wharton said, and then waved at attendant who had been behind him.

Immediately, this attendant stood beside Kieran and was always waiting for Kieran's instructions.

"Uh."

Kieran means know.

Cul Wharton turned and left.

Kieran subconsciously walked towards the corner of the hall.

The people who came early in the lobby moved their eyes as Kieran moved.

Although the banquet has not started yet, out of etiquette, the nobles who received the invitation came to the mansion of Marquis Wharton early and waited patiently.

For the reasons of this dinner, these nobles are already clear.

So, when I saw Kieran walking side by side with Cul Wharton, my eyes lighted up.

Especially, when the young ladies of nobility discovered that Kieran and Cul Wharton were talking and laughing, the light in their eyes almost turned into substance.

A youngster with a life-saving grace to the heirs of the Wharton family, even if the identity is not a noble, it is worth investing.

And, with the introduction of the "New Order", who knows what will happen?

The nobles who can be invited are naturally standing on the side of Marquis Wharton.

At least, on the surface.

Something stupid in the dark will not be placed on the countertop.

Therefore, Kieran clearly felt those longing eyes.

Brows slightly frowned.

After Kieran glanced away, she simply turned her head and looked out the window.

Not seeing, not upset.

However, Kieran obviously underestimated the girls from these noble families.

They naturally understand subtlety and restraint.

But...

They know more about opportunities.

Just four or five seconds later, three young women with arrogant looks stood up from their seats. They noticed each other, and immediately, a polite smile appeared on their faces.

Then...

At the same time, we are firmly moving towards the corner where Kieran is located.

One of them, in order to walk faster, even picked up the corner of the skirt and trot.

The other two responded a bit slower, and when they wanted to run past, it was too late.

that person has stood in front of Kieran.

"Good evening."

"Are you Colin Your Excellency?"

that person leaned on the first young lady who came in front of Kieran by Xiaoxiao, and showed a smile. The pear vortex on the cheek was shallow and very nice. disgust.

"No."

"It really is you, I have heard of..."

The young noble lady almost spoke after Kieran answered.

The words are spoken before they react.

She stared at both eyes and looked at Kieran incredulously.

Then, the cheeks were flushed, and the both eyes was hazy, and the look was dripping.

Kieran looked at each other indifferently.

The cold in your eyes is like a knife.

Suddenly, the noble lady in front of her was scared back.

The other party’s small face is white, and the tears in disguise are forgotten to continue to flow down.

At this time, the two noble ladies who came behind each other took the opportunity to walk over, but unfortunately, they had not waited for the two to speak, and Kieran's direct indifferent eyes swept.

Immediately, the two noble ladies were not as good as the first one, and were scared to sit there.

The Cul Wharton and attendant standing behind Kieran looked at Kieran in a daze.

This attendant has thought about all the situations and is ready to respond.

But he never thought this would be the case.

Directly and simply refused.

Even with deterrence.

It seems...doesn't conform to the noble etiquette?

attendant thought silently.

Next, he remembered that Kieran was not a noble at all, but an Demon Hunter.

It seems...

Is it also a good match?

attendant couldn’t tell more, but that didn’t prevent him from stepping forward to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere after eyeing the servant on the side.

Received the servant who had witnessed everything and ran steadily towards the back of the hall.

He needs to report his young master.

Your friend is really unexpected, we can't handle it!

......

Behind the hall, it belongs to the private house of Cul Wharton.

Even if the Marquis Wharton mansion is not large, it is still beyond imagination compared with nobles and compared with ordinary people.

At least, as the heir to the Wharton family, Cul Wharton has its own house.

It's in the Marquis Mansion, but it's kind of independent.

Similarly, attendant and the servant are also direct reports.

"Young Master."

A female attendant greets Cul Wharton.

"I need that white dress."

"And give me the desk from the study..."

"Forget it, I'll get it myself, just prepare your dress."

What Cul Wharton thought of, directly changed the command.

Then, strode into the study room and ran straight to his desk.

He bypassed the desk and went straight to the right, the penultimate drawer.

Under the cover of a book, he took out the tin box containing the secret ‘Elk Dessert Room’ confectionery—this is his customized confectionery, which is not available on the market.

Taste is unique.

But the price is high.

Even if he is the heir to the marquis, he will not eat it often.

Touching the iron box, Cul Wharton's face was a little bit reluctant.

However, it was immediately replaced by a smile.

There are naturally good things to share with friends.

"Colin will be pleasantly surprised by this dim sum."

Cul Wharton said, turned around and walked to the dressing room.

Here, his body maid was already holding a white dress and was waiting.

Without waiting for the maid, Cul Wharton began to undress himself.

It's very brisk. Putting on the white dress, Cul Wharton can't wait to take a snack to entertain his friends, but only after entering the study, he saw his father sitting there.

"Father."

Cul Wharton smiled and congratulated Bi Gong.

"Uh."

The old marquis nodded, his face very serious, and the sharpness in his eyes was even more compelling.

Under such gaze, Cul Wharton straightened up unconsciously.

This is a habit from an early age.

Even after adulthood, Cul Wharton has not changed.

"I know you have some special hobbies."

"Everyone is like this."

"But you should not expose it to a stranger."

The old marquis said slowly.

"Colin is a friend."

Cul Wharton said directly.

However, this straightforwardness confirms that the old marquis frowned.

"I told you!"

"As the heir to the Wharton family, you must not have friends!"

"All you have are allies!"

The old marquis raised his voice a point.

Cul Wharton said nothing, but the stubborn appearance told the old marquis what his child thought.

Or.........

As a father, he knows what Cul Wharton is thinking.

It is too young.

You never know how much damage your so-called friends will cause you.

It’s like you don’t know what you will suffer once your secret is discovered.

"Cul, you are different."

"When you decide to become the heir to the Wharton family, you will be different."

"So..."

"Be patient."

Old Marquis takes a deep breath, so I continued.

When the last sentence was spoken again, helplessness, sadness, and pain appeared on the old marquis' face.

It was a shadow of pain and pain.

Looking at his father's appearance, Cul Wharton shuddered.

He bit his lip, struggling in his eyes.

"Did I really have a friend?"

Cul Wharton is struggling for the last time.

The old marquis looked at his child. He wanted to nod, but when he was about to nod, he looked at his son’s eyes, and he immediately softened.

He has owed his son too much.

But he knew in his heart what was best for his family.

Maybe...

The old marquis who thought of something, asked softly.

"Do you trust your friend?"

"Uh."

When thinking of Kieran as something, there is no disguise, and Cul Wharton nodded.

"Okay."

"Then tell him your secret."

"Then, I will send someone to test him."

"If he can keep it confidential for you, then I will recognize him as your friend of Unique/only, if not... I hope Cul will put away the last innocence in your heart."

"How is it?"

The old marquis asked back.

"Yes!"

Cul Wharton nodded without hesitation. Although he knew very well that his father's wrists and strategy were very powerful, he believed in Kieran.

This is trust in friends!

Do not hesitate!

"That word is final!"

Looking at his son's decisive appearance, the old marquis smiled.

Alright.

It is good to let his son see the dark side of the world.

As for the Colin that "persuades"?

He has full confidence.

At the next moment when the father and son completed the agreement, the hurried footsteps sounded outside, and the servant belonging to Cul Wharton ran in~ Salute, then, looked at Cul Wharton, hesitant.

There is no dissatisfaction with the old marquis.

On the contrary, he looked at his son with appreciation.

Being able to do this means that his son is very good.

In aristocratic families, strength is part, commanding subordinates is part, and communication is the rest.

Discipline is strict, and justice is the key.

As for loyalty?

The result.

A result that requires constant vigilance.

"I am waiting for you outside."

The old marquis said, and walked out of the study.

After the old marquis left, the near attendant immediately spoke very quickly and clearly about what had just happened in the hall.

"Hahaha Ha."

"I am worthy of my friend."

"He must have seen the essence of those guys clearly."

Cul Wharton let out a hearty laugh, and wiped out the depression just now with his father.

Then, go out in stride.

"Are you very happy?"

The old marquis asked while walking side by side with his son.

"Uh."

"Just..."

When Cul Wharton informed his old marquis of what had just happened in the lobby, the old marquis was stunned for a while, and then shook his head at the corner of his mouth.

"Too reckless."

"He will only make enemies without any reason."

"And..."

Subconsciously, the old marquis wanted to analyze to his son.

However, Cul Wharton does not want to listen to these.

So, hastened the pace.

However, when he returned to the lobby, he saw a stunned scene.
