From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

Chapter 44: Exclusion (Transition Chapter)

At this moment, the atmosphere around gradually became solemn, and a dead silence enveloped the surroundings.

However, Krober did not seem to notice this abnormality. He seemed to have turned into a stone statue, standing steadily beside Grand Duke Veronica.

He secretly swore that all his resilience in this life was used in this moment. It was too hard to bear, and he almost felt suffocated.

Time passed quietly, and no one knew how much time had passed.

The nobles were still enjoying themselves in the hall, not affected by the outside world at all; while Grand Duke Veronica stood quietly outside, staring at the dim night sky.

At this moment, Grand Duke Veronica suddenly moved - she took slow and firm steps and walked straight in the opposite direction of the hall.

Faced with this sudden change, Krober couldn't help but hesitate.

He couldn't guess the Grand Duke's true thoughts at all, and couldn't judge whether he should follow him.

However, as he watched the figure of the Grand Duke gradually going away, a voice in his heart told him that he could not let the Grand Duke leave alone.

So, he could only grit his teeth, quickly speed up his pace, and closely follow the Grand Duke's back.

——Ah~ Silence~ is Cambridge tonight, this is the dividing line.

At this time, on the other side of the Hild Fortress, Baron Klar from Deepwater Territory seemed extremely aggrieved and depressed.

He was just an insignificant little baron noble, and had no qualifications and opportunities to join the grand celebration banquet in the center of the castle.

Fortunately, however, Earl Stephen did not forget the existence of these little nobles.

Therefore, this kind and generous Earl decided to hold a special banquet for the little nobles in his territory in his personal name.

Although the banquet was small and slightly shabby, it had a different kind of warmth and harmonious atmosphere for those little nobles who knew each other.

Beside the warm bonfire, they savored fine wines, happily talked about various topics, and enjoyed a rare relaxing time.

This relaxed way of communication made everyone feel a deep sense of friendship and belonging, making the whole scene full of unique charm and style.

But he, Klar Oats, could feel that this banquet had a deep sense of rejection for him.

Baron Espir, who had already broken through the Great Knight, was surrounded by a group of formal knights.

Most of them were nobles in the baron's territory, and some were barons and knights with whom he had a good relationship.

At this banquet of small nobles, the Great Knight was the most powerful character, after all, the Earth Knights followed the Earl to the castle hall to attend the banquet.

However, Baron Espir was not happy because of the flattery of the people around him. He was now a Great Knight, and his family was so strong that he was fully qualified to go further and upgrade his title to Viscount.

It was a pity that he had no credit at all in this war. Not to mention changing a territory, he might even have to pay for the war out of his own pocket.

As he was thinking, Espir saw Klar sitting alone in the corner of the banquet, drinking alone, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

As far as he knew, the fool Klar had sent his unwelcome second son back to the Golden Rose Family, and it was said that the relationship between the two families had completely broken down, so could he take this opportunity to take over Deepwater Territory?

You know, although Deepwater Territory is barren, it is really large in area. If he can take it all, the size of the Viscount Territory will definitely be reached, and maybe there will be some left to be distributed to his knights.

Anyway, it would be good if Klar, that waste, could take out two or three formal knights from the entire territory, and he could destroy this weak family by sending a team at will.

But before that, Baron Espir still needed to test the attitude of his master Stephen Moonlight Mushroom, and at the same time, spy on the intelligence of the Oat Family to see if there were other more powerful allies.

Thinking of this, Baron Espir quickly put away the malice and ambition in his eyes, turned around, and chatted and laughed with the nobles beside him.

However, this scene was noticed by many people with ulterior motives.

These people knew Baron Espir's ambitions very well, and they also knew about the entanglement between him and Baron Klar.

Therefore, when they noticed the abnormality, they chose to stay away from Baron Klar.

And this is exactly why Baron Klar felt that the whole banquet began to exclude him.

As a result, this invisible cold violence gradually permeated the entire banquet, and even Baron Klar, who had been drinking wine all the time, could hardly bear it...

Klar, who drank almost a barrel of red wine, really couldn't bear it anymore. He felt his head buzzing, and everything in front of him began to blur.

He knew that if he stayed at this banquet, he would definitely do something that he would regret.

So, he had to make an excuse that he was going out to the toilet and fled the banquet.

"Damn Erspiel! Damn Golden Rose! And that damned little bastard! You all deserve to die!"

Klar muttered to himself as he walked. He was extremely angry, and his heart was full of resentment and dissatisfaction towards those people.

Baron Klar, who had drunk so much red wine at once, had just stood up and walked out of the banquet. When the wind blew, he instantly became a little drunk.

In fact, as a formal knight, he can remove the anesthesia brought by alcohol by running Dou Qi.

This method is very common in the military camp, and it is one of the reasons why soldiers are allowed to drink.

However, at this moment, Klar seemed to have forgotten his ability. Maybe he wanted to enjoy the feeling of being anesthetized by alcohol, or maybe he could no longer run Dou Qi to remove alcohol.

However, all this is no longer important, because next, he will pay a painful price for his actions.
