73: Meeting the Marquis and his wife

And as for Arthur's future peak, even we don't know, and even now he has already far surpassed us!

With such a younger brother as a role model, I really don't know what kind of boy she would fancy!"

Hearing this, Charlotte replied with a hint of teasing.

Afterward, the two of them watched the three siblings chatting and laughing there in silence.

Half an hour later, although Arina was still reluctant to leave, her eldest brother Art was already a bit impatient, so it was finally Art's turn.

Charlotte, being a mage, was fine, but Count Abergh, being a knight, watched as Art also mounted the awe-inspiring Dragon mount.

A hint of envy flashed obscurely in his eyes; after all, the Dragon was truly too cool.

Unfortunately, the dignity of being a father prevented him from being as willful as Art and Arina.

In the end, a hint of resentment appeared in the depths of his eyes, much like a child watching someone else eat candy.

Countess Charlotte noticed her husband's expression and couldn't help but smile, but for the sake of the Count's Face, she said nothing.

...

Around nine o'clock in the evening, the group finally arrived at Marquis of Roses's Rose City.

Many people had come to attend the banquet, with hundreds of attendants and guards each.

Attendants were fine, but those guards could not all be brought into the city.

After all, if this noble brought hundreds of guards, and that noble brought hundreds of guards, it would add up to thousands.

If they all entered the city, it would be too chaotic.

It was not conducive to management, so the numerous guards had to stay outside the city.

The Marquiss Mansion even arranged for special personnel to designate camping grounds for each noble's guards to avoid conflicts.

Although it was already nine o'clock in the evening, the people from the Marquiss Mansion were still on duty.

After Arthur's group arrived outside the city, a squad immediately came to receive them.

Due to the poor lighting at night, the people from the Marquiss Mansion did not immediately recognize that this was the team from Mad Lion City, but seeing the roughly one hundred and fifty huge Demonic Beast mounts in the group, they knew the arrivals were not simple, and hurried forward to welcome them.

Arthur brought one hundred golden sharp lion cavalry, and the Count brought fifty golden sharp lion cavalry, totaling one hundred and fifty Demonic Beast cavalry.

As the receptionists approached and recognized their identities, they quickly greeted them.

"Lord Count, Countess, I am a steward of the Marquiss Mansion, specifically in charge of reception matters!

If the Marquis knew you had arrived already, he would certainly be very happy.

The Marquis has specially arranged your accommodations in the castle. Once you have settled most of your guards outside the city, I will lead the way for you."

Nobles attached great importance to their own safety, so while most guards had to be stationed outside the city, everyone certainly still had one or two personal guards.

The Count had no objections to the steward's arrangement and nodded in agreement: "Then that will be trouble for you!"

"Not at all!"

Subsequently, Arthur's group was led by the steward to an open space near the city wall.

"Lord Count, how do you find this area?"

Hearing this, Abergh scanned the area and found that this open space was more than enough to station five hundred troops, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"No problem!"

Then the Count began to give orders to those staying behind and those following into the city, dividing them accordingly.

Apart from keeping Chris and that Earth Knight by his side, Arthur left everyone else outside the city.

The Two-Headed Wyvern Andel was no exception.

However, at this time, Andel had not yet landed, so Arthur blew a whistle.

As soon as the whistle sounded, a whistling sound caused by a huge object flying through the dark sky outside the city could be heard.

Before the people around could react, Andel's massive, ferocious body, standing fifteen meters tall, landed beside Arthur.

This gave the steward of the Marquiss Mansion a huge fright; he instinctively wanted to call for guards.

But remembering that this Dragon appeared because of Arthur's summons and must be related to Arthur, he suppressed the thought of calling for help that had arisen from fear.

At the same time, the rumors about Arthur that had spread to the Marquis's territory a week ago came to his mind: "Arthur has tamed another Dragon as a mount!"

Now it seemed that the rumor was true!

Thinking of this, the steward's attitude became more respectful, and he said to Arthur: "Baron Arthur, this must be your Dragon mount, it is truly awe-inspiring!"

Arthur saw the steward's cautious demeanor and explained: "Yes, its name is Andel, and it is very obedient. Rest assured, it won't cause any trouble!"

Hearing this, the steward's expression indeed relaxed a bit, but he still said: "I naturally believe that!"

...

After the arrangements were settled, Arthur and his group headed to the Marquis's castle in the center of the city.

Only nobles who had a close relationship with Marquis of Roses could stay in the castle; other nobles attending the birthday banquet rented rooms in the city.

Arthur's family naturally had the qualification to stay in the castle.

After everyone was settled in the castle guest rooms, the steward bowed again: "Everyone, this is the accommodation arranged for you by the Marquiss Mansion.

If you are dissatisfied with anything, please feel free to bring it up, and we will make other arrangements.

Speaking of which, the Marquis does not yet know of your arrival, so I must go and inform him. I will take my leave now!"

Afterward, the steward left a few servants from the Marquiss Mansion by the guest rooms and departed.

Arthur took a walk around and found that his room alone was two hundred square meters.

He thought silently, this kind of guest room was probably the top tier even within the Marquiss Mansion!

After familiarizing himself with the room, Arthur and the others were led by the servants of the Marquiss Mansion to the castle's reception hall.

Although it was already midnight, Arthur and the others had sat in the reception hall for less than ten minutes before they saw four people walking in quickly.

The two in front were dressed in luxurious clothing and looked like a married couple; their Faces looked to be just around thirty.

Although Arthur had never officially met Marquis of Roses, nobles would collect information and recognize each other in advance.

Arthur recognized these two as The Marquis and Marchioness.

The two following behind The Marquis and Marchioness were also a man and a woman, but both appeared very young.

The woman had white hair and was none other than Arthur's fiancée, Olivia.

Although Arthur had never met the man, he had learned about him; he was the Marquis's eldest legitimate son, Omide.

Afterward, everyone exchanged warm greetings, though it was basically The Count and Countess and The Marquis and Marchioness who were conversing, while the juniors like Arthur were basically listening on the side.

Not long after both sides sat down, Arina sat beside Olivia with an excited look on her Face, whispering about some topics between best friends.

Sometimes she would glance at Arthur, so it seemed some topics were related to Arthur.

The two of them giggled from time to time, displaying the youthful liveliness of girls to the fullest.

However, overall, it was Arina who spoke more.
