Chapter 6 Dinner
"Hey, I think you must be very unwilling to accept it...
But don't worry, I will make up for your regrets and make people rekindle their respect and fear for the golden lion." Lei Wen took a deep breath and gently stroked the armor.
It seems that rich second generations are sometimes a burden, especially in this world where they focus on their background and have the highest strength. If they cannot meet the basic requirements, they are better off being born in an ordinary family.
Now this huge pressure has been transferred to him again, but he will not follow the old path and force himself into a dead end.
As an ordinary person from an ordinary family, he doesn't care about such things. Awesome ancestors does not mean they are always strong, otherwise how can you let others do it?
From an objective perspective, the rise and fall are in line with the laws of things.
But as the party involved, how could he be objective?
It is necessary to regroup.
"snort..."
Just as Lei Wen was watching the armor get a little fascinated, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
He turned around in confusion and looked at him. At this moment, a very beautiful woman stood at the door.
The long burgundy hair was tied with gold and silver threads and a long ponytail was tilted up to the waist. The fair and delicate face really seemed to be coming from an angel.
Especially the sexy black evening dress perfectly set off her impeccable figure, and Lei Wen was also stunned by her long legs.
The country is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, and beautiful... These words describe this kind of woman, even too much or too much.
But his face was frost and his arrogant expression made him wake up quickly...
Natalie Trein, she is her wife, the eldest daughter of Count Carrick.
To be honest, it is really any man’s dream to have such a wife. However, Lei Wen understood that they might not even be nominal husband and wife, and only have mutual hatred.
Crying is nothing at all.
As the saying goes, people should not behave like appearance. Although this woman has an angel-like appearance, she is not at all at ease in her bones.
I remember that on the night of the wedding, she tried to poison the wine. Perhaps it was her conscience that she finally discovered that she knocked over the wine glass.
But this was enough to make Lei Wen cry out in a cold sweat.
He also specially found so many bright and charming little beauties to be servants. I really don’t know what to think about, do you hope he will die on a woman soon?
The most important thing is that everyone knows that she is fighting with a noble young man named Kyle Roland... Maybe she has worn several layers of cuckolds.
In such a situation, both of them had long since broken up. Although they were under the same roof, they were both deliberately avoiding it.
It is rare to see Natalie wearing such sexy clothes today and take the initiative to find herself. I don’t know what she is selling in the gourd.
In short, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is useless if she doesn’t have any heart on her, let alone a woman who once wanted to murder her husband. As the saying goes, a knife on her head is better, it is better to keep a distance from her and maintain the status quo.
He didn't want to come to this world and do nothing inexplicably GG...
Thinking of this, Lei Wen's eyes instantly returned to calm, and even the desire to speak was gone. The two of them made the originally warm room frost.
This feeling is really uncomfortable. As a more liberal society, Rayvin also doesn't like this form of marriage.
What's the point of saying this is how you live? You have to be worried and always beware of the other person.
If he could make the decision, let her find some sweetheart now. She was so slutty that she wanted to cut herself into pieces with a bad face...
"Father wants us to go to the main hall to have a meal with him." Natalie waited for a while and saw that Raven still didn't want to speak on her own initiative, so she turned her head and said to herself.
She also felt very uncomfortable. If she could, she hoped not to see the person in front of her for the rest of her life. Especially the empty eyes that were full of cares and had no content were really unbearable.
But she had already figured it out on the way that she was really not qualified to be willful. As the eldest daughter of the family, she had the responsibility and obligation to contribute her strength to the family. Perhaps this was her destiny. She kept forcing herself to accept this person, at least she no longer hated him so much.
"...I understand." Raven frowned and thought for a while to walk out of the room first. Earl Carrick personally invited him, and of course he had no reason to refuse.
In the current situation, he would better continue to play the role of this son-in-law. Although Earl Carrick seems to be good to him on the surface, he understands that everyone is just acting on the scene and getting what they need.
"I have prepared the dress for you." Natalie looked at Lei Wen's back as she gradually moved away, gritted her teeth and followed her...
Time flies.
When Lei Wen came to the main hall, most of the people had already sat down.
I don’t know what medicine Natalie took wrong today. Not only did she personally change her clothes, but she also held his arm along the way, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
But the plays that should be performed must be performed, and everyone just understands each other.
There was a round dining table in the middle of the huge hall. At this time, Earl Carrick was sitting on the Lord and looking at them with deep meaning.
Although it was his family dinner, he still wore very formal aristocratic clothes. His gray beard was meticulously taken care of, and even in front of his children, he could not lose the majesty of the count.
In Raven's eyes, if his father-in-law becomes an actor, he will be stressless and very stylish when playing Caesar.
Earl Carrick personally likes the round table, and he thinks this can effectively narrow the distance between each other. From this point alone, he knows how to control people's hearts better than most noble men.
Today was just an ordinary family dinner, and the guests only invited his most trusted subordinate, Baron Fred.
As an excellent general who was promoted from the civilians, Baron Fred is definitely the most loyal talent under his command. He has become a powerful and brilliant knight in his 40s, and he can be regarded as a top-notch powerhouse in the Northern Region.
"Father, Uncle Fred, we're here." Natalie put down her hand holding Raven and forced a smile to make a standard lady's courtesy.
"Well, let's sit down." Earl Carrick was quite satisfied with her daughter's attitude. It can be seen that she had accepted her words, at least she no longer disobeyed on the surface.
As a father, he also gave her enough patience and time, and he finally looked like a couple today.
As for Lei Wen, he didn't care at all.
He pulled him at the most downturn and married his daughter to him. You should know that his daughter can be called the number one beauty in the Northern Region. It is already his great fortune. What else can he be satisfied with?
Seeing that he also made a courtesy, he sat next to Natalie silently and quickly withdrew his gaze.
"I haven't seen you for a while, but you're getting more and more beautiful." Baron Fred smiled and touched his beard.
To be honest, he was quite embarrassed. The Earl invited him to the banquet, but he didn't expect that he was the only one of the guests, which really made him a little underprepared.
In his understanding, Lord Earl should discuss some important matters with him after the family dinner.
This time he did not follow the Count to Fengcheng, but he heard that the negotiations were not going well. Now the Kingdom of Ryan is at the critical moment of the transfer of royal power, His Majesty the King is constantly trying to weaken the rights of some remote lords.
Earl Carrick naturally put on his blacklist... He even heard that he would send a garrison officer from the royal capital to take over the defense here soon.
Thinking of this, Fred quickly interrupted his thoughts. He didn't want to think about these problems. He was a native native, and he watched the place grow from a small fishing village to its current scale.
He was only loyal to the Earl, and Ryan was just a title to him.
What's more, the kingdom is actually suffering from internal and external troubles. Even the Messianic family has collapsed, and there is no other authority that can shock people...
He glanced at Lei Wen unconsciously, and suddenly realized a problem.
Perhaps Count Carrick doesn't just want an excellent descendant, he has a longer-term plan.
Although the Massia family has declined, its remaining power is still there. Many families have received their favors, and many people are still worshiping them.
Not to mention the distance, she just talks about her daughter. She still regards their lion badges as treasures, and even does not wear their own family badges.
In this case, Lei Wen was undoubtedly a good move. Maybe he didn't do it, and some people would rush to do it...
"..." Lei Wen was also secretly observing Fred at this time. Because he really couldn't remember what this majestic uncle was. It must be not easy to attend Count Carrick's family dinner alone.
Seeing his eyes staying on him, he nodded slightly politely and didn't know what it meant.
But what made him most uncomfortable was the little girl Alice. Although she sat quietly on the side like a lady, she always felt that she wanted to do something.
Anyway, I dare not say anything and I can’t eat it.
If he could choose, he would rather eat bread in the house than attend such a family dinner.
