The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 45
Episode 45 Banquet (1)
Dinner time.
Sophia Russell attended the banquet with Jackson Cutter.
The Copperhead family created a banquet hall by connecting huge tents.
Because it was a temporary banquet hall, it was not fancy, but there was nothing lacking.
On one side, bands played instruments. The servants were busy transporting freshly prepared food.
“Jackson, please do it.”
Sophia Russell said, holding out the canapés that the servant had just served.
Jackson Cutter took the food offered by Sophia Russell and ate it with his mouth.
“Mmm, it’s delicious. Sophia, I think it tastes even better when you feed it yourself.”
“If you think that I will be happy for saying such things, you are very mistaken.”
The two people burst into laughter. Nobles passing by made expressions of disgust.
“ha… … .”
Jackson Cutter let out a deep sigh as he finished eating the food Sophia Russell handed him.
Sophia Russell asked with a puzzled look.
“Jackson, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
“Sophia… … look. “Can’t you feel anything?”
Jackson Cutter glanced sideways at the nobles in the banquet hall. Sophia Russell tilted her head.
“No one recognizes me.”
Jackson Cutter said helplessly. Only then did Sophia Russell understand what her lover said.
“Regardless of what happened last time, all the nobles are gathered at the banquet hall. I thought there would be at least one person who recognized me… … .”
“Jackson, don’t worry. It’s because I’m busy saying hello to people I know. “It won’t be long before someone recognizes you.”
Sophia Russell said as she hugged Jackson Cutter.
“I guess so?”
Jackson Cutter’s face brightened slightly at her comfort. Sophia Russell nodded her head.
‘… … Damian Haxen would have recognized everything, right?’
Suddenly, Sophia Russell thought of Damien Haxen.
As was proven during the day, there was no one who did not know the face of Damien Haxen.
This is because the portrait spread widely along with rumors.
‘If it’s Damian Haxen… … ‘It must have been overflowing with people trying to talk to me.’
Sophia Russell thought of herself next to Damian Haxen.
It was a situation that made me happy just imagining it.
“Sophia? “Why are you smiling all of a sudden?”
Jackson Cutter asked in a puzzled voice. Only then did Sophia Russell return to her reality.
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
It was time for Sophia to hastily answer.
A murmur began to grow from the entrance of the banquet hall.
“You mean that person is Damian Haxen?”
“Who is the young man next to me?”
“The face has an uncanny resemblance… … “Maybe it’s your younger brother?”
At the name Damian Haxen, the two people turned their heads towards the entrance.
Before I knew it, nobles were flocking to the entrance.
“Oh my, you look better than I thought?”
“That’s right. I heard you have a very scary and nervous face. “It’s different from the rumors.”
“Not only is Damien Haxen, but the younger brother next to him is also very handsome.”
Sophia Russell felt her heart pounding.
Damian Haxen, whom she saw during the day, was so handsome that he briefly captured her heart.
Your usual self is so cool. What would it look like if decorated properly?
Curiosity and anticipation rose at the same time.
‘no. Let’s not do this. ‘I have Jackson.’
Sophia shook her head. But he couldn’t help but keep his mind drawn towards the entrance.
‘for a moment… … ‘Wouldn’t Damian Haxen actually want me to come too?’
Sophia Russell, who was conflicted, began to rationalize herself in a strange way.
‘that’s right. You tried to make me jealous by pretending not to know me. Even now, he must have dressed up eagerly in anticipation of what I would see.’
Sophia Russell nodded.
‘Would you like to go see it just to see his sincerity?’
But I couldn’t go blindly. This is because Jackson Cutter was right next to it.
“shit… … Damian Haxen… … .”
Jackson Cutter was gnashing his teeth as he glared at the entrance.
He didn’t seem to like Damian Haxen, who was receiving attention unlike him.
“Jackson, are you going to stay like this?”
Jackson Cutter looked at Sophia Russell as if asking what she was talking about.
“You told me. I will definitely defeat Damien Haxen in the tournament. “Then instead of doing this, you should get closer and observe Damian Haxen.”
Jackson Cutter’s eyebrows twitched at Sophia Russell’s words.
“You want me to observe Damien Haxen now?”
“They say a lion doesn’t let down his guard when he catches a rabbit. “Wouldn’t a complete victory over Damian Haxen further enhance your reputation?”
Did the persuasion work? Jackson Cutter’s eyes changed.

“… … You’re right. Instead of doing this, you should go and watch Damien Haxen closely. “For complete victory.”
Sophia Russell cheered inwardly. Fortunately, it turned out as she had hoped.
The two headed towards the entrance.
“I’ll just pass by for a moment.”
Jackson Cutter made his way through the nobles. Thanks to this, Sophia Russell was able to comfortably get to the seat in front of her.
And the moment I saw Damian Haxen, I was at a loss for words.
Neatly combed hair and a black tailcoat covering the body.
Sophia Russell’s face instantly turned red at that sight.
‘… … ‘Is Damien Haxen that handsome?’
If you think about it, Damian Haxen was a man who belonged to the category of handsome men.
However, his messy behavior and irregular life were eating up all his strengths.
But now Damian Haxen is different from before.
The body trained as a knight made his appearance shine even more.
‘… … Damian.’
Sophia Russell said with an emotional face.
‘You put so much effort into showing it to me.’
If Damian Haxen had heard, he would have let out two curses.
* * *
As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Damian Haxen felt only one emotion.
‘It’s annoying.’
The nobles in the banquet hall were flocking to where Damian Haxen was.
A passionate desire to talk to him was radiating from the expression on his face.
But not a single noble actually approached him.
This is because Damian Haxen was deliberately giving off an intimidating feeling.
Because of that, the nobles were unable to approach him hastily.
“Brother, look. This is a dessert made from uclé fruits! “I heard that it is difficult to obtain because it is a difficult fruit to grow in the Apple Kingdom.”
Unlike Damian, Abel was enjoying the food at the banquet hall.
Damian watched Abel with a wry smile.
“Your younger brother is also handsome.”
“If you only look at it, you’re better looking than Sir Damian Haxen.”
“But I like Sir Damian. Look at those forearms!”
Abel was also a subject of interest. In particular, female nobles showed great interest.
Damian was worried that female nobles might approach him, so he increased the amount of his life a little more.
It was then.
The soldiers guarding the entrance struck the ground with the tips of their spears.
People’s attention was drawn to the harsh sound.
“His Excellency Count Copperhead is entering!”
The soldiers shouted loudly. Then the orchestra stopped playing.
The soldiers pulled the cloth covering the entrance from side to side. An elderly man came in through the gap.
The man had a thin mustache like a goat. The eyebrows were thin and the pupils were sunken.
It was the appearance of Count Copperhead.
A young woman was walking next to Count Copperhead.
Everyone in the banquet hall was mesmerized by the woman’s appearance. His face looked like he was possessed by a ghost.
It was Olivia Copperhead, the eldest daughter.
Count Copperhead and Lady Olivia crossed the center of the banquet hall.
Even though no one gave orders, people scattered left and right to make a path.
Count Copperhead sat at the head table in the center of the banquet hall. Olivia Copperhead sat down next to him.
“It looks like you lost your temper because of me. Now don’t worry about me and everyone can enjoy the banquet.”
At those words, the band started playing music again. The sounds of nobles’ conversations began to be heard again.
“Your Excellency the Count, it is an honor to meet you like this. “My name is Franz of Baron Nation.”
Suddenly, one of the nobles walked out. He said, kneeling before Count Copperhead.
“Baron Nation! I know. “Isn’t this place famous for delicious apples?”
“Thank you for noticing.”
The noble man lowered his head even further.
“We have prepared a gift to commemorate Lady Olivia’s birthday. “If you accept it, I will consider it an honor to the family.”
The item presented by Friends Nation was a small box decorated with jewels.
“These are cosmetics created by alchemists of the Michu school. “I heard it was made using spirit powder.”
The female nobles began to murmur at the French Nation’s explanation.
“The Michu School is the school of alchemists most famous for making cosmetics, right?”
“You just said it was spirit powder, right? “It’s a product that is said to revitalize your skin just by applying it, right?”
“I heard that an amount the size of a little fingernail is traded for a nugget of gold… … “Then how expensive are those cosmetics?”
It was an item that women could not help but covet.
However, Olivia Copperhead did not show much interest.
Count Copperhead was equally perplexed.
With the wealth of the Copperhead family, such items could have been obtained.
“It must have been difficult to save it. “Thank you.”
The Count’s reaction left the French Nation stunned.
As soon as he returned, another noble man stepped forward.
“Greetings to His Excellency the Count! My name is Charlie from Viscount Zion! “I would like to dedicate this necklace to Lady Olivia!”
Charlie Zion held up the glass tube.
Inside the glass tube was a necklace with colorful, shining jewels.
The faces of people who saw the light of the jewel were filled with amazement.
“Isn’t that a seven-colored stone?”
“It’s a rare gem that you only have to kill a hundred golems living in rocky areas to find.”
The seven-colored stone did not have any particularly great effects.
However, because it is very difficult to obtain and is rare and beautiful, it is currently the most popular gem.
“You brought something so precious.”
It was an expensive item that even Count Copperhead was satisfied with.
“Olivia, how are you? “Isn’t it truly beautiful?”
However, Olivia Copperhead did not show any reaction this time.
I just looked at the necklace with indifferent eyes.
“I’ll make sure you receive the goods well.”
“yes! thank you!”
Charlie Zion bowed his head and then returned.
Since then, many nobles have offered gifts.
However, Olivia Copperhead showed no interest in any of the gifts.
‘She’s a picky woman.’
Damian thought so, opened subspace, and took out a bow.
“Hey, take it.”
And he threw the bow at Abel. Abel looked at Damian with a surprised face.
“Why are you surprised? “You brought a gift, so we should give it to you too.”
“Do you really want to give me this bow?”
“Hey man, the Marquis gave me this. “It’s very precious.”
Abel looked completely unsure.
As expected, the bow Damian took out was very ugly.
The bow looked like it had been roughly carved from a dagger and was dark in color.
It was very shabby compared to the items offered by other nobles.
“Oh, didn’t I explain this bow to you?”
“You just said that His Excellency the Marquis gave it to you.”
“Is that so? Then let’s go out first. “You will find out when you go out.”
Damien walked in front of the Count. Abel Doha had no choice but to follow his older brother countless times.
