Back at Yashan, the brigade of knights disbanded and went back to rest. Mordred took Little Richard into the Black Rose Castle and temporarily placed him in the guest room. The room here is located in the outer castle. Then, two young maids brought brand new clothes and accessories, and filled the wooden barrels in the bathroom with hot water. Marquis Gorton arranged for dinner to meet Richard. Before that, he would take a shower and change clothes and have a good rest.

The bathing and dressing change ended soon, and Richard lay on the bed, and he had an hour to rest. Although the fatigue from the long journey was still there, he could not calm down his noisy head. During the bathing, the two maids were present throughout the whole process, and Little Richard completed the whole process without moving a finger. In fact, he had tried to refuse and struggle, but was easily suppressed by the maid. They were weak in shape, but their strength was greater than that of the village chief, which made Little Richard unable to resist. They obediently washed from head to toe, even the roots of their hair to the ears.

The guest room where Richard is located is not large, but it is as high as five meters. There is a narrow window at a height of only three meters, which penetrates the skylight outside. The walls are made of obsidian and have not been polished to maintain the original appearance of mine. The rough walls are decorated with tapestries and knives and shields. The tapestries are dark red. No matter how you look at Richard, it feels as red as dry blood. The room is very dark, and if you don't use a torch, your vision will be blurred even at noon. Lying on the bed, Richard only feels a gloomy breath constantly emanating from the ground, the walls, and every corner. There is fire flowing in his blood vessels, which is the fire caused by two maids. They were still laughing secretly at that time. The clever Richard felt that they were intentional.

The interweaving of coldness and fire made Richard's head even more confused. From the moment he left Rutherland Village, no, until the inspiration ceremony began, everything was like a dream, and the world seemed extremely unreal. In the chaos, knocks sounded, and dinner time was coming.

The destination is the evening restaurant in Neibao, which is a long distance from the guest room. Following the maid leading the way, Richard's impression is only big and dark. All the buildings are so tall that although the long and tortuous passages are illuminated, they cannot cover every corner, leaving large shadows, shaking shadows, and even darkness that the eyes cannot penetrate. As for the outdoor part that once passed in the middle, the light and shadow of the dense branches and leaves of the plants disturbed the vision, making people's nerves involuntarily tense.

The castle seemed to be filled with a faint aura, lingering in front of him and entangled with every step he took. It made him feel repulsive and discomfort from his soul, but it could not be expressed in words.

The evening restaurant is not the largest restaurant in the Black Rose Inner Castle, but it is definitely at the level of dukes. The 15-meter-high hall is extremely high and dark. Although the walls are filled with torches, the fire cannot illuminate the murals of the dome. The dining table is twenty meters long, and Richard is dressed as an aristocratic boy, sitting upright at the end of the dining table, facing his father from a distance through the table where thirty people can eat at the same time.

It was a man with a strange charm, with a smile on his face, and his meticulously combed hair and thick short beards formed an indispensable part. Time had left a little invisible mark on his face, and some fine lines were climbing up on the corners of his eyes. The dark green eyes were clear and pure, but it almost made the person looking in. He sat casually, skillfully cutting the roasted lamb chops on the plate, eating very quickly, occasionally drinking a sip of red wine. There was a strange rhythm in his movements. In fact, even the most picky etiquette was present, he could not find any omissions in his behavior. Of course, he ate too fast and too much. But his elegance made it difficult to detect that just between a few breaths, a few kilograms of lamb chops had disappeared.

This is a very elegant and attractive man, and Richard has to admit it, even though he wants to throw the silver plate in his hand and smash it on the man's face.

In the future, he would have learned more deeply that countless people wanted to smash things on the Marquis of Gorton's face.

Now, Little Richard held back, not for himself, but for his mother. Until now, he still did not understand the meaning of his mother's wish, but his perseverance, patience and wisdom let him know that he would understand the meaning of the deepest wish in the near future.

Richard tried to sit straight and deal with the food with clumsy movements. The food in front of him was very rich. The food in the Black Rose Castle kitchen was famous for its food. It had the best red meat cookers and pastry chefs on the entire peninsula. But Richard had no idea what the taste of the things that were sent into his mouth. Richard had never trained etiquette. He knew it was from the countryside at a glance, and he didn't know the many rules for aristocratic dining. But Richard, who had changed clothes, was very beautiful, and his consolidated and melancholy temperament was somewhat similar to Geton. Many maids who were in and out of the water were secretly looking at Little Richard. Richard was now a teenager, and he should have the charm of a man in one or two years.

After elegance and magically eliminating more than twenty kilograms of lamb chops, Marquis Gödon wiped his mouth with a snow-white tablecloth and smiled. His mouth was very big, and when he smiled, he showed his entire row of snow-white teeth, which was a little dazzling.

"Your name is Richard."

Richard just nodded without saying a word. He could hear Geden using a narrative tone, and this sentence does not require an answer.

Gordon smiled and said, "You are lucky because your surname is Archmond; you are unfortunate because your surname is Archmond."

Richard raised his head at this time, met Geden's gaze, and said calmly: "My name is Richard."

Geden's eyes were as clear as water, but few people could look at him. However, Richard raised his head and did not retreat at all.

Geden smiled first, then sighed, and said, "The personality is very similar to your mother! But she has never said that your name is Richard Yuege." Although it was a question, it was still a statement tone.

Little Richard hesitated for a moment and finally said, "No." Now, he understood a little bit of his mother's wishes.

"So, your surname is Archmond, whether you admit it or not," said Gordon. By this time he had finished all the main courses. With a wave of his hand, ten maids walked up like flowing water, packed up the used meals, changed into brand new tableware, and served up as many as seven desserts.

While solving the desserts with grace and speed, Gotton said, "It's useless to say something. Even the most senior nobles can't tell me about my etiquette. But those old nobles still think I'm a nouveau riche. And another great man, we all call him "Bloodthirsty Philip". His favorite dish is raw monster meat, which requires no more than an hour to cut from the living body. If there are rare varieties, the time limit can be relaxed to one day, and this noble adult likes to tear the meat into the mouth with his hands the most. But those nobles still admit that he has a true aristocratic demeanor. Do you know why?"

Richard shook his head. He knew nothing about the world of the nobles. All the knowledge was derived from Mordred, and the knight was obviously not a qualified teacher.

"Because this 'blood-thirsty Philip' is the greatest emperor of our Holy Alliance Empire! His power is so powerful and moody that those old real nobles are unwilling to anger him. Moreover, if there is such a big man in his circle, there will be many real interests. These interests are so great that people cannot refuse."

Richard nodded this time and understood a little.

"So, since your surname is Archmond, then it is unfortunate that you must become stronger and stronger! With strength, the world is heaven for you, and without strength, hell is everywhere! At that time, you don't need to care whether you grew up in the mountains or were born in the most magnificent castle, nor do you have to pretend like I am now. These are illusions and have no meaning to you now. You just need to become stronger! Because your surname is Archmond, and the blood of Archmond flows in your blood vessels! As long as you have this surname, people will have expectations for you, and it is extremely high. If you are just stronger than ordinary people, you will disappoint everyone." Geunton's voice became louder and louder, and later it was like a thunderclap exploding in his ears, which made Little Richard dizzy.

Richard grabbed the knife and fork in his hand, and no longer cared about the piece of food that fell into the plate without any politeness from the tip of the fork. He looked at the man who was still in a state of great elegance on the opposite side, but burst into deafening shouting that was completely inconsistent with it.

Geden suddenly restrained his thunderous voice and showed a charming smile, saying, "As long as you have enough strength, you can do whatever you want, no matter if it is meaningful or completely absurd thing, just like this." As he said, Geden attracted a maid, reached out to grab the clothes on her chest and tore it hard, and the whole piece of clothing was torn in half, making her completely naked in an instant. The maid instinctively screamed, but immediately swallowed the subsequent screams, put her hands honestly on both sides of her body, without any intention of covering her naked breasts and lower abdomen.

In the restaurant, in addition to the butler and a few male servants, there were several guards and ten knights. They stood quietly against the wall, like statues. Mordred, who took Richard from Rutherland, was among them. At this time, the statues all came alive. Of course, they still maintained a standard standing posture, but their eyes fell unscrupulously on the maid's naked body. Her appearance was not very beautiful, but her youthfulness made her body full of vitality and temptation.

Richard was stunned. The impact of this scene on him was too severe. He was only a ten-year-old child. His toughness since childhood played a role. He pinched the knife and fork and did not miss them.

Geden waved his hand, and the maid dared to pick up her clothes, but did not dare to cover her body. She kept her knees and saluted, then faced the owner and left the restaurant until the corridor. She was afraid that if she ran out of her manners, she might have a more tragic situation. Sure enough, Geden's voice came from behind: "Richa, I originally wanted to kill someone for you, but I was in a bad mood some time ago, and I killed all those who could kill. Speaking of which, there were quite a lot of eyeliners placed here! Unfortunately, I didn't control my temper at that time, but now there was no one to kill."

Richard's little face was pale. How could he say such a murder in such an understatement? But everyone in the restaurant, from servants to knights, looked as usual, as if the owner had just said something like cooking prey and adding vegetables. It was not until this time that Richard vaguely realized that there was a faint breath everywhere in the castle. It seemed that the bloody smell accumulated over the years.

Like a regular meal, Richard didn't know what the taste was when he finished all the desserts. He forced himself to rush into the stomach and prevented the food he had eaten from rushing up. This was difficult to do. Once the bloody smell was noticed, it became clearer and clearer, lingering around his nose.

However, Richard did not eat a lot. He was when he was growing up, and the children in the mountains always had a lot of appetite. Ge Dun was very satisfied with it and said, "Eating more will make you grow faster. Richard, does your mother need you to achieve?"

Richard's face changed, he remained silent, and made a promise. But he did not intend to tell Geton the content of his wish. He would only say it on the day the wish was realized.

Gordon did not force Richard, but said, "No matter what your mother's wish is, it will be difficult to realize. I will not help you directly, nor will I give you strength. But I will give you enough opportunities to make you stronger. As for how far you can go, it depends on yourself. I hope that one day, you can speak loudly in front of me."

Richard nodded and said nothing.

Geden pondered for a moment and said, "I will find you a teacher, and you will study with her in the next few years. I hope that when you come back to see me again, I will be surprised. This is not only for me, but also for yourself and for your mother. Well, you go to meet your brothers and sisters first, this will be a...a very interesting meeting."
