Everyone was guessing, but no one said it explicitly. The position to Tolina's right was also left vacant, but no one said who held it.
Soon after, the seat next to Latan became empty. It was reserved for Brian. He was crazy now, but Lani did not forget to reserve a seat for him.
The rankings below are for the knights, all of whom can be considered equals, with no room for competition.
Everyone stared at the empty seat, wondering in their hearts who it was reserved for.
Until the young man brought the girl, smiled brightly, and apologized to everyone.
"I'm late. Sorry, sorry. I didn't wait too long."
His gaze fell to the end and he found that the Full Moon Queen had also come, still looking crazy.
The young man took Melina to sit down. He sat in the first seat on the left hand side of the Full Moon Queen, and Melina was the fourth, next to Torina and Loretta.
Seeing Roland bringing Melina over, Marennia frowned slightly but said nothing.
I can't embarrass my brother in this situation, and I can't quarrel with her.
Torina smiled, quickly comforted her, and asked Melina to sit down.
The knights were in deathly silence. Everyone knew that the princess had a good relationship with this magic apprentice. There were even rumors that this person was Golden Godwin.
Now there are two results.
Either this man is going to be the son-in-law of the royal family of Kalia, or he really is Golden Godwin.
These were the only two thoughts in everyone's mind. Loretta chuckled, feeling the joy of having already grasped the secret.
Now that everyone was present, Lani said some polite words and then had the servants serve the meals.
It was called a banquet, but it was just a simple dinner and conversation, not a buffet and dance like the Golden Tree nobles had.
Roland knew this a long time ago, so he naturally didn't let Melina wear that evening dress. Besides, it was too revealing, so he just let her take a look at it himself.
Chapter 148 Banquet
Looking aside, Torina was still wearing a white Lolita dress embroidered with gold patterns, paired with knee-length white stockings and Mary Jane shoes. Her hair was braided into a circle like a wreath.
Marlennia was dressed as a swordsman, but that couldn't hide her frail look. Her skin was too fair and she had a very unique temperament.
The atmosphere throughout the banquet was very strange. The focus should have been on Latan and Lani, but everyone was looking at Roland.
He didn't feel anything, as he was used to it in the royal city, but Lani couldn't stand it.
"What are you doing?"
After she said this, everyone stopped looking and just continued to guess.
The atmosphere was weird, and finally someone started talking.
That is the richest man who has been taking care of the Full Moon Queen, he asked Lani.
"Princess, is this for the purpose of welcoming Lord Latarn?"
"I guess so." She admitted, "It's to celebrate something."
Everyone pricked up their ears. Could it be that Roland and her marriage were going to be announced?
Apart from this reason, it was hard for them to imagine why Roland sat in the first seat on the left side.
Lani continued, "Celebrate the death of Two Fingers. From now on, there will be no more Two Fingers in the border area."
Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard this.
I thought the princess was finally getting married.
Then, someone immediately reacted and stood up, slapping the table.
Not many people knew that the princess wanted Two Fingers to die, only a few of her confidants.
Others don’t know yet.
At this moment, the scene suddenly became heated, and the weirdness just now was completely gone.
Just like the current situation, the news of Shuangzhi's assassination spread throughout the entire border area in an instant, and the news spread at a very fast speed.
Except for a few people, no one knew who the murderer was, and it soon became a hot topic of discussion.
There was too little entertainment at the border, and this matter was indeed a big deal. The old women who had their fingers untied were crying breathlessly, and all the finger witches were absorbed by the people of the Golden Tree and taken to the church of the Eternal Goddess Marika.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Golden Tree had the greatest gains and was the most likely to take drastic action and kill Two Fingers.
But, think about it, anyone could assassinate Two Fingers except Golden Tree.
To outsiders, Shuangzhi and Huangjinshu are a family. Wouldn't killing Shuangzhi be a violation of one's own interests?
The news soon spread to the royal city, and people in the border areas were talking about it, even causing a certain degree of unrest.
No core member of the royal family has commented yet, but the matter has been confirmed.
Soon, Eternal Queen Marika released an article to the effect of announcing the death of Two Fingers and reassuring the people not to panic, as there would be no problem.
Many literate knights were the first to be appeased, and they told others, and the news soon spread.
If Roland saw it, he would definitely recognize that it was written by Aleto, the leader of the Black Blade.
Because Marika was still in the Golden Tree, and even he was nowhere to be seen, it was good enough to have Aleto, the leader of the Black Blade, write an article for her.
The death of Shuangzhi didn't seem to cause any ripples. Although many people were worried about not being able to contact the Supreme Will, that didn't have much to do with them.
Even the Eternal Queen Marika is not in a hurry, so we are even less anxious.
Because of this article, many people feel that nothing has changed at all and are no longer panicking.
In fact, life has not changed.
And the Supreme Will has not taken any action, which makes people feel even more reassured.
By the evening, the matter had begun to become a topic of conversation at residents' dinners.
Just like the banquet at this moment.
Looking at everyone's discussion, Roland not only felt nothing, but even wanted to laugh.
The assassin you are talking about is right here.
In his arms, there was a girl who no one could see, secretly eating his dinner.
Miss Dixie's hiding skills are getting better and better, and she can even eat secretly in front of Latarn.
Just as she said herself, ordinary heroes may not be able to avoid her assassination, but it is difficult to successfully assassinate her head-on.
The banquet was in full swing, with food and wine being served continuously. Lani had resolved a knot that had been weighing on her mind for years, and was clearly in a good mood.
Latan drank with many warriors, and his cheerful and straightforward personality made him the center of conversation.
When the banquet was over, the many knights and they were divided into different small groups.
Melina drank a little and felt dizzy, so Torina volunteered to take her home.
Roland was still quite relieved that nothing would happen in the magic academy, especially with Torina following him.
This gave Marenia the opportunity to have a private conversation with him.
"elder brother......"
"what happened?"
With Di Xi's reminder, Roland took her opinion seriously and smiled at the red-haired girl.
He patted Marennia's head and said, "How many glasses of wine have you had? About four, right? That's enough. Don't drink any more. You'll get drunk if you drink any more."
"Yeah." She nodded and looked out the window, "I want to go out for a walk."
"Then I will accompany you."
Roland saw that no one was paying attention to them at the banquet, and it was obvious that his identity was no longer as important as the assassination of Two Fingers.
Maybe they will discuss it in private, but the biggest thing today is the assassination of Two Fingers.
They ran out secretly, and it seemed that no one noticed them, but Lani still saw their backs. She just glanced at them, and Latan beside her seemed to be thinking about something.
Soon, because of the conversation of other knights, Lani withdrew her gaze.
Roland and Marennia ran all the way to the courtyard. The wind was gentle and the evening weather was cool.
They hid in the grove in the courtyard. It was pitch black at night and there was not even a light. No one could see what they were doing.
Malenia hugged him tightly, breathing deeply, burying her head in his arms, and rubbing her knees against his legs.
"elder brother......"
"What's wrong? You're not still thinking about Melina. Don't worry about it, Lianlian."
Roland kissed her forehead, but Marennia simply stood on tiptoes and kissed him.
After some begging, she let go.
With a smile in his eyes, he said, "Are you relieved? In my heart, you are different from an ordinary sister. Aren't we still..."
"Ok, I know."
Marennia took a deep breath and said, "I won't cause any trouble to my brother because I love him the most."
"Okay." Roland nodded. "Walk around for a while longer? Or are we just going back like this?"
"Let's go back." She finally smiled, bit her lips lightly, and held his hand.
Originally, those knights wanted to come over to chat and build relationships, but because she had a stern face, no one dared to come over, not even to say hello.
When they returned, they found that Torina had returned and was talking with Latan and Lani. The three of them laughed from time to time.
I think the content of the conversation must be related to Roland.
On the premise that you are all friends, if they don't bring you to the dinner, then you must be the topic of conversation.
Chapter 149: Stability
"What are you talking about?"
Roland walked over and saw that the three of them remained silent, which further confirmed that the topic of their discussion was exactly him.
He smiled and looked at Lani: "It's not far from the start of school, right? There's still a month left? This is the only vacation you have left. Aren't you going to do something for yourself?"
"It's done."
She smiled more and more today, which made Latan feel uncomfortable. He felt that his sister seemed to have become a different person.
The last time he came back, he felt that something was not right with Lani and Godwin, especially his sister. This time when he came back, the look in his eyes when he looked at Roland was different.
Hiss, something is wrong.
Of course, Latan had no objection to his sister finding a man, let alone the famous Golden Godwin, but he knew that Roland had a girlfriend.
This is very contradictory.
He wanted to say something but stopped himself. He wanted to find Blaze, but then he remembered that he was going crazy.
The banquet was still going on. The hall was brightly lit, and the dazzling crystal chandeliers made the whole space look like a dream.
The knights gathered in groups of three or four, and the musicians were playing clear music.
The banquet lasted until late, Marenya and Torina stayed here, and Latan took his people away.
In the end, there were almost no people left, and only the servants were still busy cleaning up the mess after the banquet.
Roland and Lani were in charge of the final cleanup, and once the servants had cleaned up, it would be over.
The balcony was not too big, but it was big enough to accommodate two people. It was late at night, and everything was silent. In the deep and mysterious dark tones, a few rays of moonlight cast mottled shadows on the floor, like an abstract ink painting.
Occasionally, the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the leaves can be heard, forming a subtle echo with the quiet air.
The red-haired girl leaned against the railing, her long hair blown by the wind, her elbows resting on the railing, her eyes returning to the hall.
The lights are bright and shining.
She looked at the blond young man beside her and asked, "What are you planning to do when you come back, Se Lian?"
"Huh?" Roland was stunned. "Maybe the vacation is over. There are many books she likes in the study in the royal city. She also learned how to pray there."
He didn't expect Lani to ask.
Lani had been to the royal city before, and she knew all the rumors about Seren.
