Return of the Calamity-Class Death Knight Chapter 107

The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 107

Episode 107: Celebration (1)

On the day of the celebration.

“Honey, guests are coming.”

Mrs. Haxen said, looking out the window. At those words, other family members gathered at the window.

Carriages carrying guests were entering Spring Castle one after another.

The expressions of the family looking at them were very dark.

“You can do well today, right?”

“You are saying the obvious. You know very well. “How hard we prepared.”

Count Haxen comforted his wife. But his voice was also trembling.

The Haksen family has never hosted or attended such a large banquet before.

In such a situation, you have to become the host of the banquet and greet the guests?

It was a situation that was bound to be very stressful.

“Whoa… … .”

“Abel, don’t worry. “I will help you.”

Abel was equally nervous. Olivia, who was familiar with this type of work, encouraged Abel.

“My heart is racing.”

Louise, who was always gentle, had a stiff expression today.

Then, all of a sudden, Louise noticed Damian sitting with a tired look on his face.

“Damian, you don’t seem nervous?”

“Is there a need to be nervous? “I just look at people’s faces.”

Damian said casually.

“Our family’s honor depends on the reputation of the guests.”

“If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry.”

“huh? “Why is that?”

“If there are people who say something bad about my family, I will fix their hair on the spot.”

“Ahaha, that’s a joke too.”

Louise laughed and waved her hand.

But I stopped laughing when I saw that Damian’s eyes were extremely serious.

“… … “Are you sincere?”

“of course. So don’t worry and enjoy yourself.”

Louise looked at Damian with a puzzled expression. Then I burst out laughing.

“Okay, I’ll just trust my little brother.”

The nobles of the west flocked to Gargari Plain one after another.

Some people came in private carriages, but closely related nobles rode in the carriage together.

“It’s finally today. “I look forward to seeing how pathetic Viscount Haksen will be.”

“Isn’t that obvious? “It’s the capabilities of a Haksen author, so there won’t be much to see.”

These were nobles who belonged to a group called ‘High-Grade Men’.

‘The Noble Men’ was a social club that only the cultured and learned among the western nobility could join.

Even though the Haksen family became a count family, they were called viscounts.

It was an expression of his intention to never recognize the Haksen family.

“But why did you ask me to come to Gargari Plains instead of Haxen Territory?”

“That’s right. “I thought we would have a celebration there too.”

“Why are we holding a celebration here just because there is something in the Gargari Plain?”

The nobles were all puzzled. One of them thought deeply and muttered.

“no way… … “Oh, I guess not.”

“huh? “Lord Southaudan, do you know anything?”

“I heard that there was a castle built by the royal family near Gargari Plain… … “Probably not.”

While the members of the ‘Highland Men’ chatted, the carriage crossed the Gargari Plain.

All the nobles who looked out at the plain could not help but be amazed.

“I heard a lot of rumors, but I didn’t know it would be this wide.”

“There is a river running through the middle of the plain. “There will be no need to worry about farming or farming.”

“This land is so fertile, right? They say you’ll get a good harvest no matter what you plant.”

Looking at the Gargari Plain, the members of ‘Highland Men’ could not help but feel envy.

This was a land famous for the best farming in the West.

Everyone was drooling over it, but since it was the land of the royal family, it was impossible to harbor dark intentions.

I had no idea that the Haksen family would acquire all of that land.

“Viscount Haksen and others have been given land that is more than good enough.”

“That’s what I meant.”

The members tried hard to hide their envy and were busy criticizing them on the outside.

At the same time, I thought that today I would no longer have to envy the Haksen family.

But when they arrived at Spring Castle, the nobles had no choice but to change their minds.

“oh my god… … “What a beautiful castle.”

“Do you mean to hold a celebration here?”

Words of admiration were coming out of the nobles’ mouths without them knowing.

Gargari Plain was located in a remote area even in the western region.

So most nobles had never seen Spring Castle in person.

The walls and spire were entirely made of pure white brick. It seemed to be a white stone that was said to be very expensive.

The roof was black in contrast. Black stone was made only by firing rare clay and was known to be as valuable as white stone.

It was literally a castle as beautiful as a picture.

“How could Viscount Haksen have a castle like this…?” … .”

The nobles could not stop marveling as they got off the carriage.

Spring Castle was beautiful when seen from the outside, but its beauty was at its peak when you went inside.

In particular, the two stone statues guarding the castle gate were artistic and had such beauty that they could easily be designated as treasures.

The nobles got off the carriage and headed to the banquet hall, guided by servants.

“I guess they decided to hold a celebration because there was a place like this.”

“Well, if you were in your right mind, you wouldn’t have originally chosen the Seoldan Mansion as the banquet location.”

Members of the ‘Noble Men’ continued to make disparaging comments about the Haksen family.

It was my way of not showing envy.

“What’s important is not the place, but the food and music.”

“I don’t know if the country bumpkin hired the right people.”

The members laughed and entered the banquet hall. And I couldn’t help but be shocked again.

As soon as they entered the banquet hall, magnificent music greeted them. A band consisting of more than twenty people was playing music.

Even though many people were playing, no one made a mistake, and the tone was very soft and appropriate for the situation. It was proof that it was a talented orchestra.

“Kuh, khuh…” … “You hired a pretty good band.”

“Well, that’s right.”

At that time, servants entered the banquet hall and began busily placing food.

These were banquet foods that were made to be easy to pick up and eat with one hand.

All the food had an appetizing smell, as if it had just been made.

Sniff.

The moment they smelled it, the nobles felt extreme hunger.

It smelled so good that I thought it might be threatening rather than stimulating the appetite.

Similar to music, you could tell the skill of the person who made food just by smell.

It was clear that all of the food at the banquet hall had been prepared by top-notch chefs.

“Uh, uhm.”

“Hmm! “Hehehe.”

The members of the ‘High School Men’ suddenly became quiet. There was no one who disparaged the Haxen family.

I could feel it because, as a nobleman, I had experienced many banquets.

This means that the level of the banquet prepared today is not ordinary.

It must have been prepared by spending a huge amount of money and attracting the best talent.

“Guests have arrived.”

Then, a voice was heard. The nobles raised their heads. In front of me, people from the Haksen family were approaching.

“Huh… … .”

“Unbelievable… … .”

The moment I saw them, I couldn’t help but admire the nobles.

They had already completed their investigation into the Haksen family. So I knew that everyone in the Haksen family was good looking.

However, I thought it might have been a bit of an exaggeration. Even if that wasn’t the case, I also thought about how great I would be if I did.

However, when they saw it in person, the people of the Haksen family exceeded their expectations.

“They say the eldest daughter has the best looks… … “She is so beautiful, I don’t know why she wasn’t known until now.”

“It appears that that young man is Abel, the second son. “I heard he was the most handsome of the men of the Haxen family.”

“The lady over there is Olivia Copperhead… … No, now it’s Olivia Haxen. I heard it was called the flower of the West. “It is truly amazing.”

Everyone already had great looks, but the clothes they were wearing were also unusual.

Each member whispered to himself.

Everyone was outstanding, but the person who attracted the most attention was Damian Haxen.

As a member of the Haxen family, Damien Haxen was also quite handsome.

But it wasn’t just their looks that were overwhelming the nobles.

A listless expression.

However, I was feeling an unidentifiable sense of intimidation.

It was to the point where I felt as if I was facing the Absolute.

“This is Theodor Haxen. “Thank you so much for participating in the celebration.”

With that said, Viscount Haksen shook hands with each of the noblemen of the ‘Noble Men’.

“It’s a trivial banquet, but I hope everyone enjoys it.”

* * *

After that, guests continued to arrive.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The noble members of the ‘Noble Men’ rarely enjoyed banquets. I just sat in the corner in silence.

Since the Count Haxen family couldn’t have properly prepared a celebration, their plan to laugh at them went awry from the start.

Everything about the celebration was perfect and beyond. There was no room to find fault with.

The Haksen family, whom they looked down on as country bumpkins, was already a great count family.

“… … Are you all planning to just stay like this?”

One of the members said: Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

“Do you plan to recognize the Haxen family like this?”

The nobleman spoke in a strong tone. However, the members of the ‘High School Men’ just avoided eye contact.

Everyone has already lost their will to fight.

“… … “It is still too early to lose hope.”

The member who spoke first made a sad expression.

“Is there any solution?”

“There is no solution, but… … “There is one piece of information I heard beforehand.”

At those words, the nobles gathered. I pricked my ears and waited for what would come next.

“They say he will be attending this banquet.”

“Him?”

“Who is he?”

“The Topekan balls.”

The moment the name came out, the faces of the nobles instantly brightened.

Viscount Topekan.

As the head of the Topekan Viscount family, he was a person who exercised great influence in the West for generations.

The Topekan family was a vassal but owned a very large estate. It was a public fact that the family possessed such enormous wealth and even vassals that they had influence beyond their status.

“Lord Topekan is determined not to leave Count Haxen alone.”

Despite possessing such great power, Viscount Topekan was not called a great nobleman.

It was because of the Copperhead Count.

Because the Copperhead family was holding on so hard, Viscount Topekan could not even attain the earldom, let alone the status of a great nobleman.

Meanwhile, a major upheaval occurred in the Copperhead Count family, which greatly weakened their power.

It was an opportunity that the Viscount Topekan could not miss. This time, he was planning to suppress the Copperhead count and become a great nobleman.

At that moment, Viscount Haksen suddenly ascended to the throne.

As Viscount Topekan, the lid had no choice but to be opened.

“When he comes, Count Haxen will no longer be able to relax!”

It was then.

Suddenly, a murmur began to spread throughout the banquet hall.

The ‘High-Grade Men’ turned their gaze toward the sound. Soon, the members’ expressions all brightened.

A man was entering the banquet hall accompanied by several nobles.

A very wrinkled forehead.

Two torn eyes. Mouth tightly closed. Half bald head.

He was Viscount Topekan, known as the eternal second-in-command of the West.

“Where is Viscount Haxen?”

Viscount Topekan, who entered the banquet hall, raised his voice and spoke. Then Count Haxen walked from afar.

“Lord Topekan, welcome your visit.”

The corner of Viscount Topekan’s mouth twitched at Count Haxen’s words.

“You’re so shameless about what you’re setting up in my territory.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Don’t pretend not to know when you understand. “Because it’s annoying.”

The nobles of ‘The Noble Men’ internally cheered at the dignified attitude of Viscount Topekan.

The sight of them pushing Viscount Haxen was exactly what they had hoped for.

“I didn’t come with the intention of enjoying the banquet. “I came to warn those guys here.”

Viscount Topekan looked back at the nobles in the banquet hall and shouted.

“You’d better think well. “Me and Viscount Haksen, which one will you choose?”

* * *

Abel couldn’t help but be angry at Viscount Topekan’s attitude.

That’s what they say when they come over and ruin the atmosphere.

Moreover, I did not like the fact that he constantly called his father Viscount Haksen.

It sounded as if Viscount Haksen was not happy that he had become a count.

But Abel decided to bury his anger for a while. He now had to control the bomb himself.

“older brother! You must not come forward! Viscount Topekan was a very influential person in the West… … .”

But Abel soon realized. Damian Haxen has a very peaceful expression.

“older brother?”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Are you not angry?”

“You are asking the obvious. “I want to replace that bastard’s top right now and then destroy the Topekan Viscount.”

His face was very peaceful, but his words were cruel.

“Well, then why are you still… … .”

“There’s no need for me to step forward. “It’s about time.”

“yes?”

That was when Abel asked back. Viscount Topekan raised his voice again.

“I don’t say empty words! Engrave it clearly in your mind! I am not willing to go to war with Viscount Haksen… … .”

“Lord Haxen! “I’m sorry I’m late!”

At that time, someone interrupted Viscount Topekan, came up to Count Haxen and held his hands together.

“This is my first time seeing your face like this in person! Anyway, congratulations on being promoted to earldom!”

Viscount Topekan frowned. He shouted, grabbing the man’s shoulder.

“Can’t you see what this body is saying right now?”

Viscount Topekan pulled the man by the shoulder. And the moment he saw the man’s face, Viscount Topekan froze on the spot.

“Go, go go, go go go go!”

There were hardly any words to come out. Viscount Topekan was only able to speak properly after swallowing dry saliva.

“Your Excellency the Duke!”
