A few minutes ago, Rhodes was attending a very high-level banquet.

Banquets are a common fixture among nobles. It is used to make friends with people at the same level or above, in the hope that they can help you when you encounter difficulties in the future.

Rhodes vaguely remembered the theme of the banquet. It was said to be to celebrate the birthday of a certain noble daughter. If you were lucky, you could also decide on a suitable fiancée in the engagement contract.

While the other party invited nobles, they also did not forget to involve the Kageno family.

It was both expected and unreasonable that the Cagueno family would be invited.

Many people are curious about why Cageno, who was originally the lowest baron in the border area, was promoted to count one after another and jumped to the middle class of the aristocratic chain? Be a shining star in everyone’s eyes.

Is it possible that there is some force behind them supporting them?

Out of strong curiosity, the family of the wealthy nobleman invited them.

As for Claire's biological parents, they were not calm after hearing this. They knew exactly how much she weighed.

Others don’t understand, and they themselves don’t know? It was just that they accidentally caught a few famous criminals who had been rewarded by the royal capital, and were promoted to positions that they had never dared to think about.

The head of the Cageno family is not strong enough to catch them. To put it mildly, he is not even qualified to carry his shoes.

It's really that easy to catch, so he won't be offered a reward by the royal capital.

But they just did it.

Even he himself found it absurd and weird.

Is it true that someone would sneeze, fall, have their magic power flow backwards, or get distracted during a battle?

Of course, no one believed it, and even if someone said it, they felt that they were hiding something, for example, they were misunderstood as a reason for someone who wanted to increase their power.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Because of the existence of Rhodes, fate favored them more or less, so that their promotion from the most basic baron was like a rocket.

The moment the Cagueno family received the invitation, it was considered a top priority. They inquired from many sources and found out that the nobleman was going to choose a betrothed. Then he took the younger generation who were the same age as the rich nobleman and rushed to the banquet.

The bumpy carriage ride could not stop their excitement.

They are eagerly dreaming about the favor of fate and hoping for a beautiful encounter.

If any of the young people can be chosen, why worry about the Cagueno family not being prosperous?

When they arrived at the banquet venue, everyone else had a clear goal. Only Rhodes was in the corner, with his back against the wall, holding a cup and drinking, watching the nobles' flattery with cold eyes.

Rhodes seemed to be watching a medieval movie from his previous life, watching everyone wearing a mask on their face.

Under the mask, the little man's fawning, the big man's disdain, and the colorful expressions made Rhodes sip the drink in the cup and find it unexpectedly interesting.

In fact, in the final analysis, the reason why he came is not because he cares about boring and clichéd stories, nor is he interested in having a romantic moment at the banquet and then leaving. He simply does not want to ruin the rare expectations in the eyes of Claire's parents. Just looking forward to it.

Fortunately, Kageno was not the only one who came in the same batch, so he didn't have to take the initiative to say hello to strangers and forcefully say things that even he couldn't understand.

"Ahem, welcome to my territory of Viconi. Today is my daughter's fourteenth birthday. It is my honor to invite you here. Please feel free to eat. We have prepared a rich supply of food. Enjoy everyone.”

After speaking, a middle-aged man who was wearing not-so-luxurious clothes but could not hide his aristocratic temperament looked around, noticed something, waved to the maid, and whispered.

"Didn't I tell her to arrive on time? Where did she go? Go look for her."

"yes!"

Rhodes shook the crystal glass and looked at the drizzle outside the window. Suddenly, his body paused, he put the wine glass on the table, found his parents, and tactfully explained his intention to go back early.

"Then I'll ask the servant to take you back first."

His parents thought that Rhodes was not used to banquet venues, so they agreed.

"good."

Rhodes nodded and walked towards the passage from which he came in.

The red corridor was empty, even the servants were concentrating on preparing the dinner.

"I sensed your aura, are you nearby?" Rhodes paused and said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the red corridor suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a strange space.

The demonic purple crystal formed the platform under Rhodes' feet. The sky was distorted by the light. Directly in front, a female figure appeared in the blurred space.

"Why are you looking for me? I haven't been messing around recently! After you warned me, I didn't release reincarnations like before. I obviously valued a very good seedling. It was said that he was the strongest assassin in the world, but he couldn't If you don’t give up, do you understand my sadness?”

The flawless and flawless woman huddled behind the throne as if facing a powerful enemy, stuck her head out and shouted loudly.

Rhodes ignored her appearance: "I know that if you were the same as before, as a goddess, you would have been wiped out long ago. As for those who have been thrown in, they are just some guys who are waiting to die anyway, forget it."

"It's not like you're causing trouble for me."

Hearing the words, the goddess soothed her frightened heartbeat, and suddenly she sat elegantly on the original throne as if she were a different person. After careful consideration, she silently lowered the seat, losing the majesty of the aloof goddess.

This proves that she is quite knowledgeable.
