I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

"Dashi is fine."

The person who answered was Roger. He wiped the scraps of flesh off his face and continued, "Of course she is not sick, it's just that someone didn't let her come."

Rogge's tone was calm. He was just a chess piece pushed to the front of the stage. He did not have the real say.

Mervyn stared at the fat face. Anger did not cloud the wizard's mind. He remained calm. Now was the time to negotiate terms. The wizard was not good at this kind of thing.

Mervyn turned his gaze to the lord, who understood what the wizard meant.

The lord looked at Knight Allen and it was time to make a request.

"It's time for Dashi to come back and see her old father."

Obviously, once you come back you won't leave.

"What the king meant was that Stark and Edward must have a close relationship. The giant wolf and the lion have always watched over each other."

"The Starks are concerned about Darcy Stark's safety and have the right to take her home."

"I swear on the king's honor to ensure Dashi's safety and prosperity."

This condition has been abolished, but this was not the original purpose.

"Then I can send a few people to take charge of Dashi's safety."

"No, don't even think about putting anyone in my territory." Rogge finally lost his composure, his little eyes fixed on the lord, and Alan turned around and glared at him.

"This is impossible, Rhodes. We cannot send a knight to garrison in other territories. This is the law from the time the country was founded."

"My people will visit Dashi often. They will also go to the capital to bring things to Dashi. Roger cannot make things difficult for them in any way."

"you this……"

Before Roger could finish his words, he was glared back by Allen. Allen narrowed his eyes at the lord and replied affirmatively: "Of course, this request is very reasonable."

The lord smiled. He got what he wanted in this good show.

Mervyn's face was calm. He had known this would be the result, although he really wanted Dashi to come back.

Rogge's face turned pale. From now on, as long as he cooperated with the Stark family, he could skip the taxation of his city. From now on, he could only ask the workers and farmers for money.

The other nobles were also very happy. Rogge relied on the fact that his territory was the only way to the royal city, and every time a caravan passed by, they would be severely skinned. The Stark family had a good reputation, and it would definitely be more pleasant to cooperate with Stark than with Rogge.

Allen shouted loudly: "Cheers to the friendship between Stark and Edward. The friendship between the giant wolf and the lion will last forever. Cheers to the young man and woman who are getting engaged today. Cheers to their love."

The atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax, and people raised their glasses and drank. The lord took the opportunity to go on stage and announced the start of the dance tonight.

The soft and lyrical music was slightly sad. The lord and his lady danced in a simple and dignified manner, moving forward and backward steadily. The music gave people a sense of leisure, peace and comfort. The music and the two people's movements stopped at the same time, and the surrounding applause was thunderous.

The second movement begins.

The second part was much more lively than the first part, and was a perfect dance music for young people. Bennett extended his hand to invite Aimee to the center of the venue. After they looked at each other, they began to perform. In fact, neither of them was in a good mood. It would be hard for anyone to have such a thing happen at their engagement party. The ground where they stepped was still stained with blood, and every step left a bloody footprint.

The dance between the two ended, and the Lord stepped forward to put the badge on Bennett. The part related to Bennett and Aimee ended.

The third movement is a typical court dance style, and the family-friendly music has a very classical charm. Everyone invited their female partners to come in and dance.

Mervyn was nowhere to be seen, perhaps because he had no partner, or perhaps because he hated the scene. Roger also had no partner, and now he was drinking alone, with no one to clean the blood off his face. Everyone else's blood was not cleaned, but the servants helped them wash their faces.

The blood on the ground was completely trampled everywhere, and there were bloody footprints everywhere. The wine and blood mixed together and emitted an unpleasant smell. They danced wildly on the blood. At this time, the nobles would have a lot of fun. They would exchange dance partners with each other. Sometimes they would go to the side hall halfway through the dance, and then come back to change dance partners and repeat the process.

The lord left with his wife early. This should have been Aimee and Bennett's home ground. The two should have happily accepted the blessings of their parents and relatives and made eternal vows amid laughter.

Now the two of them just stared blankly at the bloody floor, watching the drunk people performing a battle between men and women in the hall.

Aimee covered her mouth and ran out. She came to the maple forest again and vomited all over the floor. Bennett patted her back gently, not knowing how to comfort her.

"Let's leave here, Bennett, leave here forever." Aimee's voice was still filled with tears.

"Where can we go and how long can we hide?" Bennett was telling the truth, but it was very cruel to Aimee. Aimee's crying gradually stopped. She stood up and walked to a maple tree, shrinking into the pile of maple leaves under the tree.

“I want to hide in this pile of maple leaves forever.”

"I didn't expect this banquet to be the center of attention. I just wanted to complete the ceremony smoothly. Why did these things happen to me? Have I done anything wrong? Why did fate punish me like this?"

Who is at fault in this bloody dinner? Is Roger at fault? He is just a chess piece. Is the lord at fault? After this banquet, the rapid development of the territory in the future is certain. What about Mr. Mervyn? He may be one of the few people who sincerely hope that Dashi can come back. What about the king? This real chess player may be cruel, but this drama is indeed a benefit to the vast majority of people. His plan is only unfair to Dashi.

There is no real villain in this drama. The only disgusting person, Roger, has now been thrown out of the manor. Aimee, Dashi, and Roger have no right to choose, so their fates are all tragic.

Ai Mei hugged her knees, curled up, and tears kept flowing. She couldn't be allowed to be like this any longer. How could she be comforted?

Bennett sat down next to Aimee, sorted out his words, and said, "Aimee, there's no need to be too sad about what happened tonight. We didn't intend to get the blessings of that group of people, did we?"

"But this is too much."

"It doesn't matter. Will this separate us?"

"No, this is the only thing that is impossible."

"Isn't that great? Maybe our lives are tragic now, but no one's life is a tragedy. You work hard to train to become a knight, and I work hard to practice magic. When we are both strong, we will travel to a place every year. When our children grow up and our parents grow old, we will leave this place completely and travel around the continent to see rivers, see the sea, climb mountains, cross deserts, and do everything we can think of."

"Come on, Aimee, it's time to get some rest. We still have training to continue tomorrow."

"Let's go."

Perhaps she was tired from crying, Aimee fell asleep as soon as she lay down. Bennett covered her with a blanket and fell asleep too.

Someone in the darkness sighed slightly. The moon should have been round tonight, but it was half covered by dark clouds. If even the moon was like this, how could one have any expectations for this world?
