"Young Master Edgar is right. This person must be up to no good by sneaking into the palace!"
"Speak, why did you sneak into the palace?"
Seeing the sudden change in Edgar's tone, the people around him immediately reacted, and their tones became unfriendly.
The sudden commotion naturally attracted the attention of the other people in the banquet hall. Everyone's gaze turned towards this direction.
Some were puzzled and listened to what was happening. Some frowned slightly, thinking that such thoughts were beneath the nobility.
"Why is Gray here?"
Seeing Gray suddenly appear in the banquet hall, the expressions of Zaloyang and the other two changed, and they quickly walked over.
"I advise you not to resist. Otherwise, for the safety of the distinguished guests of the Flame Kingdom, we don't mind killing you on the spot!"
Edgar's eyes were cold. His hands bent into sharp claws, making cracking sounds. The power of blood coiled around them like silver hooks, grabbing at Gray.
If this claw were to be caught, it would be inevitable that a few bloody holes would appear on Gray's body.
Gray took a few steps back and avoided the claw. He naturally could not allow the other party to attack him like this.
"You still dare to resist? Attack together and capture him. Death is inevitable!"
Seeing Gray dodge, Edgar's cold smile deepened, and he immediately called out.
The few nobles around him could not help but smile coldly. They spread out and surrounded Gray.
"Stop, Edgar, what are you trying to do?"
Zaloyang shouted to stop him.
"What am I trying to do?
Of course, to capture this assassin who sneaked into the palace! "
Edgar chuckled coldly.
"He is a noble of the Sidney family, not an assassin."
Zaloyang explained, and then he looked at Gray.
"Gray, why are you here?"
"Someone invited me here."
Gray frowned slightly.
"Liar, at this kind of banquet, only His Majesty and the three princes have the right to invite outsiders. Are you going to say that you know His Majesty or the three princes?"
Edgar laughed coldly.
"What happened?"
At this moment, a group of guards dressed in battle armor walked over. The person in the lead was a middle-aged man dressed in black battle armor. He had an ordinary face and a powerful aura.
As such a high-class banquet held by the royal family, there was naturally no lack of guards around the banquet hall. The middle-aged man was one of the guards.
Seeing that the commotion was getting bigger and bigger, he immediately rushed over.
"Captain Kyle, this person did not receive an invitation. He's someone who snuck into the palace!"
Edgar glanced coldly at Gray and said loudly.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the guards around him spread out and surrounded Gray. Then, the middle-aged man's sharp gaze locked onto Gray.
"Please show me your invitation!"
"I don't have an invitation, but I was invited by Her Highness the Second Princess!"
Gray explained.
"Liar! With your status, how could you possibly know His Highness?
I advise you to behave yourself. "
Edgar sneered.
"Captain Kyle, this person has a powerful magic weapon in his hands. He's very dangerous!"
"Please hand over your magic weapon!"
The middle-aged man, Kyle, thought for a moment and looked warily at Gray.
"I was indeed invited by Her Highness the Second Princess!"
Gray frowned.
The magic weapon in his hands was extremely special. He really did not want to hand it over to others for safekeeping. More importantly, he did not have the magic weapon to control the Barbarian Level Blood Fiends. After all, he relied on his ability to control the Barbarian Level Blood Fiends, not the magic weapon.
"You still want to quibble? Captain Kyle, I suggest that we capture him. This person is obviously lying. He can't possibly know Her Highness the Second Princess!"
The middle-aged man, Kyle, was obviously persuaded. He and the other guards began to slowly approach Gray.
Seeing this, Edgar sneered and mocked at the side.
"You think you can know Her Highness the Second Princess?"
"Why can't he know her?"
At this moment, a faint voice sounded.
"He's just a descendant of a count's family. How dare he —"
Edger replied disdainfully. Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that the surroundings had quietened down and everyone was looking at him with strange gazes. He couldn't help but turn around and look behind him. His expression suddenly changed.
"Second Princess … Your Highness!"
Sophia was wearing a long purple dress. She had a noble temperament and an inviolable royal aura. She glanced at Edgar and then said to the captain of the left, Kyle.
"Captain Kyle, you can leave now. I invited him here!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Captain Kyle bowed respectfully and left with the other guards. Only Edgar and a few other aristocrats were left. They did not know whether to retreat or not.
They could feel that many people's gazes were on them. There was mockery and amusement in their gazes.
Numerous gazes fell on them, making them feel uneasy. They wished they could find a hole in the ground to hide in.
"This is the most outstanding descendant of the Wallen family?"
"I heard that his arm was chopped off not long ago. The Wallen family paid a hefty price to reattach his arm. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do."
"Indeed, with this kind of brain, no wonder he was tricked. To think that the future heir of the Wallen family is like this, haha …"
… …
After witnessing the entire conflict between the nobles and their descendants, they could naturally see that Edgar was deliberately targeting Gray.
It was understandable for aristocrats to bully others. To them, this was a normal thing.
But to act rashly without understanding the other party's situation was too foolish. Now, not only had he failed to make fun of the other party, but he had also left a bad impression on the Second Princess. The gains did not make up for the losses.
"Let's go!"
Ignoring Edgar, Sophia waved at Gray, indicating for him to follow. Gray nodded at the three siblings and followed.
"Looks like you have quite a few enemies!"
Sophia turned back to tease him as they walked out of the banquet hall and into the palace corridor.
Gray could only smile bitterly.
Strictly speaking, he did not have many enemies, but each of them had a powerful background.
For example, the Oka Marquis family, the Wallen Marquis family, and Duke Nehem's family. Each of them had great influence and power.
Of course, if their influence was too small, they would not be able to become his enemy. Before they became his enemy, he would have already killed them.
For example, the leader of the Mantis Mercenary Group or the Poison Scorpion Mercenary Group … After forming a grudge, he immediately killed them.
He never showed mercy to his enemies, but some of his enemies had powerful backgrounds. If he killed them, it would be very troublesome, so he could only put them aside for the time being.
After walking around the gardens of the imperial city with Sophia, when they returned to the banquet hall, the banquet was about to begin. Sophia went to meet up with the other members of the royal family, while Gray met up with the three siblings.
The three of them asked him how he knew Sophia, and he gave them a brief explanation.
Not long after, the members of the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Flame Kingdom all arrived.
At the head of the group was a man with a crown on his head.
The man was dressed in a golden suit, and his face was dignified. His gaze was wise and farsighted. He was the current king of the Purple Moon Kingdom.
Even though he was already over 50 years old, his powerful strength did not make him look old. This king had been a Desolate Blood warrior for a long time, and there were even rumors that he already had the strength of a King-class warrior. No one knew if this rumor was true.
Walking beside him was a woman who had maintained herself very well. She was dressed in a purple-black dress, and she looked noble and elegant. She was the current queen.
Behind the two of them were the eldest prince Francis Violet, the eldest princess Hillya Violet, and the second princess Sophia Violet.
The man was handsome and noble, while the woman was beautiful and elegant. To be born into the royal family, their appearance and temperament were naturally not bad.
Walking side by side with the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom, and slightly behind the king and queen, there were a total of six people.
The leader of the group was a young man dressed in yellow. His red hair was like a raging flame, and his face was handsome. His eyes were sharp, and his temperament was extraordinary.
Behind him were two old men. The old men were quite old, and their faces had clear wrinkles like the bark of an old tree. However, their eyes occasionally shone with a sharp light that was breathtaking. It was obvious that their strength was extremely terrifying.
Behind the two old men, there were three young people, two men and one woman. All of them had outstanding temperaments.
The arrival of the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Flame Kingdom naturally became the center of the banquet. According to the king of the Purple Moon Kingdom, the young man dressed in yellow leading the Flame Kingdom was one of the princes of the Flame Kingdom. His name was Niklos Blaze.
"It's actually him!"
Hearing the name of this prince of the Flame Kingdom, Zaloyan's expression became slightly shocked.
"You've heard of this person before?"
Gray, Polly, and Darren looked curiously at Zaloyan and asked.
"I've heard of his name before."
Zaloyan nodded.
"I've heard that he's the most talented prince of this generation of the Flame Kingdom. His strength is extremely terrifying, and I've heard that he's already a Wild Blood warrior."
"He's already a Wild Blood warrior at such a young age?"
Gray and the other two were shocked. The other party was definitely not even 30 years old, but he was already a Wild Blood warrior. If he continued to grow like this, it was almost certain that he would become a King-class warrior in the future.
It was no wonder that the Flame Kingdom, the strongest of the four kingdoms, had such terrifying talent.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was extremely lively. At this moment, Niklos Blaze took a step back and bowed to the king of the Flame Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, I've received orders from my father to visit the Purple Moon Kingdom this time to propose to the princess of the Purple Moon Kingdom. I hope to use this marriage to break the gap between the two kingdoms and establish friendly relations between the two kingdoms!"
