It was really a big dinner.


    Pace did not go to see his father for the first time, but went to his room first accompanied by his sister Eugenie.


    The layout of the house and the arrangement of furniture are as old as before, and the ground and table are spotless. In a trance, pace has a feeling that he has never left, and his experience in recent years is like last night''s dream.


    After settling down, he took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and then went to the castle restaurant near dinner.


    Along the way, all the servants and guards greeted him respectfully and politely, showing a brighter smile than ever before.


    The area of fengxibao restaurant is equivalent to that of lingfengbao''s conference hall, but it should be more gorgeous. Six huge emerald stone columns, illuminated by more than 100 candles, shine with gem like color. Milky marble floor tiles are like warm jade. The left and right walls are hung with the family flag of silver wolf, and the mountains and rivers behind the main seat are painted with wolves.


    When pace walked into the restaurant, the servant had prepared the food. It was indeed a rich dinner. On the peach water grain wooden table, there was a roast sheep, a roast pig, three roast rabbits and a plate of roast pigeons. In addition, there were wine and honeypots. The whole restaurant is filled with the wonderful smell of meat.


    In the main seat, naturally, the master of the castle sat, while on his left, his sister Eugenie sat.


    There were only three people at the dinner. When she saw him coming, Eugenie waved to him and motioned him to take his seat quickly.


    Pace looked at his father, who was sitting there motionless, nodded to Eugene, went to the table, opened his chair and sat down directly.


    Seeing him seated, the three maids who had been waiting on the side immediately came forward to distribute food for them.


    Eugenie had a smile on her face, while pace and the Duke of kewilt looked like stone carvings waiting for dinner.


    "I thought you would always wander outside and be a mercenary all your life." Duke kewilt looked at him meaningfully and broke the silence first.


    "I''m sorry to disappoint you, but now it''s not what you want," pace said expressionless, picked up the servant''s full ale and took a big drink.


    Wheat wine is brown, full of fermented acidity and wine taste, thick enough to chew in the mouth.


    "This is the wheat wine from the north farm," said the Duke if he meant anything.


    "Ah, the taste is average. It can bring nothing but some memories." pace, with an indifferent expression, picked up a piece of rabbit meat from the plate and began to eat.


    "I heard that you returned from Shanghe and took two men with you. Are you going to let them be your entourage?"


    "Thank you for your concern, indeed."


    With his head down, while eating, after a little coagulation, Duke kewilt said, "send those two away and I will give you a new team of knights. They all obey your orders."


    Pace was stunned, and a surge of anger wanted to resist.


    "Don''t bother you," he said, suppressing his impulse while eating. "Since they come back with me, they can only leave with me!"


    The Duke looked up at him in a little surprise and said, "I thought you would shout. It seems that your experience in recent years has made you grow up a lot."


    "Yes, more than the previous 24 years combined."


    "Are you blaming me?"


    "How could it be? You let me worry about food and clothing." pace looked calm.


    Looking at the son he hadn''t seen for years, the Duke continued, "in that case, you should honestly follow my arrangement. I''m your father."


    "Yes, you are my father, but I am not your soldier."


    This strange conversation was not like a father and son at all. The servants around couldn''t help but be careful, distribute food, move their feet and pour wine, and didn''t dare to make a sound.


    Only Eugenie, while sipping food, looked at them quietly. For her, her brother pace has been able to talk to her father calmly and has really grown up a lot.


    "As soon as you returned to the castle, the merchant who led you on the river immediately sent gifts, two carts of wine, and indicated that they were for you. Why do you think he should do so?" asked the Duke.


    "This is the meaning of the count of Lingfeng castle. The merchant just obeys orders."


    The Duke continued to ask, "then why do you think the count of Lingfeng Castle did this?"


    Pace stopped eating and turned to look at his father: "because I am your son, now I have returned to the family. Some people with ulterior motives want to take the opportunity to please me and then the kewilt family - do you want to hear such an answer? And the two people who came back with me probably have the same idea, so you have to drive them away."


    Duke kewilt''s face looked surprised again, and Eugenie looked at her brother in surprise.


    "Since you all understand, why don''t you listen to my orders! Can''t the knight arranged by the family be compared with just two mercenaries?"


    "Oh!" pace laughed at himself. "I''m just a mercenary. Although they didn''t get your grace, they lived and died with me! If it weren''t for them, I would have died in the pursuit of the enemy."


    "Who is it?" Duke kewilt suddenly frowned, and a cold killing opportunity flashed in his eyes. "You are my son! Even if you become a humble mercenary, you still shed the blood of the kewilt family! Those who dare to let the kewilt family bleed in the North must pay the price of their lives! This is about the dignity and glory of the family!"


    "It''s just the North... It''s a great honor," said pace, glancing. "Don''t bother. It was Lord Arthur tustra, count of Lingfeng castle, who rescued me - you think he has ulterior motives."


    "You just talk to me like that, that''s what you get from being a mercenary!" pace''s "calm" dissatisfied the Duke. "And, sir? If I remember correctly, the count of Lingfeng castle is just an adult! And you are my son!"


    At this time, Eugenie hurried aside and said, "after all, it''s the grace of saving lives. My brother is grateful. There''s nothing wrong with calling the count of tustra" Your Excellency. "


    The Duke glared at his daughter unhappily at once, but Eugene just smiled at him, and he had nothing to do.


    Looking at his son, Duke kewilt then said, "do you know where the river collar is? And the count of Lingfeng castle, do you know what he has done?"


    Pace looked at his father incomprehensibly, while the duke said sternly: "He not only abolished the farms and liberated the serfs, but also forcibly deprived his vassals of their power and recovered all the land! In addition, he also took the iron ore mountain as his own, wantonly raised the price of high-speed iron products and made huge profits! You used to be a golden guard, you should know what his end and outcome would be!"
