Chapter 90: Banquet II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The second day, Old Wilson had brought many knights to accompany Merlin to Conxion Town.

This town was not far from Prakash City – it was only a two-hour journey. When Merlin and Old Wilson arrived at this place, everything seemed normal in the town. The vendors were yelling as loud as they could on the street. Moreover, there were many products sold there. Rather than a small town, it seemed more like a prosperous small city.

“Not bad. Count Selin is willing to give you this prosperous territory, huh. With this place, there’s hope for our Wilson family to prosper in the future!”

Old Wilson became more satisfied with this place the more he looked. The flourishing of Conxion Town had exceeded his expectations a lot.

“The Wilson family will definitely flourish but not with this territory, with true strength!”

Merlin mumbled softly. Had the Nelson family flourished with this booming territory? The whole family was still eliminated in the end and their territory was now given to Merlin by Count Selin.

Other than saving Count Selin, the reason Merlin had received this territory lied more in his identity as a Spell Caster.

Spell Casters mostly belonged to Spell Caster organizations. Even those roaming Wizards were enlisted into the army of the Kingdom of Blackmoon. This army was the army of the Royal Family, to be exact.

Thus, even in the Kingdom of Blackmoon, the power of each city-state was still large. In fact, the strongest military power was still in the hands of the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Blackmoon. If that was not the case, thousands of city-states would have been in total chaos already.

Power was the source of it all! Meanwhile, Spell Casters were the ones who held the strongest power! Count Selin naturally would use all methods to make Merlin take his side.

“The Nelson family is completely gone because they didn’t possess a strong force!”

Merlin was clear of that. The Wilson family had come to such a foreign country and the fate of his family was all tied to him. As long as he could maintain his powerful ability, Count Selin would continue to take care of the Wilson family.

On the contrary, if Merlin died or disappeared, it was afraid that the Wilson family’s final fate would not be any better than the Nelson family’s.

Merlin was not interested in the management of Conxion Town so he asked Old Wilson to do the job. After that, he returned to Wilson Castle alone.

In the winter morning, a persistent rain, mingled with snow, had fallen the whole night, only coming to a stop in the morning. Clouds showed up at the edge of the sky and strings of golden light pierced the layers of cloud, falling upon the ground.

Today was a rare sunny day!

“Doom, doom, doom.”

A series of knocking sounds came from the door and a maid in grey shirt called out softly to the house, “Sir Baron, your suit is ready.”

“Come in.”

A monotonous voice came from the room. The young maid pushed the door open carefully. With her head bowed and hands holding a stack of clothes, she came respectfully near the bed.

“Sir Baron, this is the suit for your dinner today. Madam Wilson stayed up all night for it yesterday.”

The maid was very nervous on the inside. Her breathing was rapid and she did not even dare to raise her head.

“Are you afraid of me?”

The monotonous voice transmitted into her ears, rendering the young maid even nervous. This was her first time being so close to the master of Wilson Castle, a young Sir Baron!

Even though the servants in the castle said the baron was kind and friendly, the young maid who had seen many faces of the nobles still did not dare to let down her guard.

“It’s fine. Put down the clothes and go out.”

Upon hearing the baron’s words, the maid in grey shirt left the baron’s room as if she had been pardoned and ran away.

Looking at the back of the maid, Merlin who stood in front of the mirror shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. The truth was not only this maid, even Commander Prat, the butler and Macy who had treated Merlin as she wished had changed their attitude toward Merlin.

Merlin felt a wall between him and the others, or should he say, a difference in the status quo!

“Nice clothes.”

Merlin had changed into the suit sent by the maid. This was designed by Big-breasted Madam herself and had taken a few days to complete. Even Merlin who had experience from his past life also thought that this was an excellent suit.

The material and design were not the most important component in making an excellent cloth. The most crucial part was the air it brought upon the wearer. Merlin stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself who seemed completely different. As compared to before, he appeared less child-like. Although his physique did not change much, his pair of blue eyes gave off a distant air.

Confidence, elegance, and maturity. Even Merlin himself could not believe in the Merlin in the mirror. The air he carried now was substantially different from when he first arrived in this unfamiliar world. Although his face had not changed, no one could relate the Merlin now and then anymore.

Merlin went downstairs and saw Old Wilson, Baron Parman, and Macy. When he looked closely, he found someone was missing. He frowned and asked, “Where’s Avril?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Merlin heard a sound from upstairs. He turned to see Avril with her exquisite dress, holding the edge of her dress lightly and coming down the stairs.

Merlin had only taken a few glances at Avril in Blackwater City and thought she had well-defined features. She seemed like a delicate porcelain doll, extremely stunning.

However, Avril had dressed up and put on make-up this time. She appeared more mature and lady-like, making Merlin’s heart beat fast for her.

“Yeah, you look beautiful! Let’s go.”

Merlin spoke softly to Avril and she approached Merlin after a slight hesitation. She held Merlin’s arm lightly and walked into the carriage which was prepared beforehand.

Without Merlin’s order, Moss already knew their destination today. Thus, he drove the carriage slowly and went in the direction of the count’s castle.

In the carriage, Merlin and Avril were sitting together. A nice odor kept coming from Avril’s body. Surely, she had used some perfume on herself for the dinner.

However, Avril appeared rather nervous. She did not move at all in the carriage and did not dare to look at Merlin.

“Don’t be nervous. It’s just a dinner.”

Merlin consoled her softly as he took Avril’s hand.

Avril stiffened slightly but soon relaxed and nodded obediently. Merlin knew Avril’s nervousness was slightly relieved.

“Sir Baron, we’ve reached the count’s castle.”

After a while, Moss brought the carriage slowly to a halt in front of the count’s castle.

“Avril, we’re here. Let’s go.”

Merlin took Avril’s hand and alighted the carriage. Currently, there were already many luxurious carriages outside the count’s castle. Some nobles who wore glamorous outfits were walking into the castle as they exchanged words in a low voice.

“Hmm?”

Merlin frowned. He seemed to see a familiar figure in front of him earlier but he could not recall who it was.

“Merlin, what’s wrong?”

Avril noticed Merlin’s odd expression and asked him softly.

“Nothing. Maybe I’ve got it wrong. Alright, the dinner should be starting anytime now. Let’s enter first.”

Merlin shook his head. Without thinking further, he brought Avril and walked into the castle.
