Chapter 438 He said he wanted to capture me right in front of me!

The servant led Gervis along the way, and soon they arrived at the magnificent palace that Gervis and others saw when they first entered the palace.

"Sir, please come in!"

After arriving at the palace gate, the task of leading the way was handed over to several maids waiting at the gate. Following the maids, Gervis and others entered one of the most important buildings of the palace.

Needless to say, this marble palace is extremely luxurious. It is many times more exquisite than the manor where Gervis and the others were just now.

The space inside the palace is also very spacious. The height and width of the corridor alone are more than three meters, so even five knights can pass through it side by side.

Walking along the corridor covered with relief murals, the maid finally led Gervis and his party to a large door.

It was now open, and looking inside from the outside, there were already quite a few guests inside.

These guests were dressed in gorgeous clothes and behaved elegantly, and each of them was the top nobles of the Principality of Alban.

The level of this banquet is several times higher than those banquets held by earl families.

When Gervis and others arrived at the gate, the guests inside also cast their eyes on them. Gervis and others were the protagonists of tonight's banquet and naturally became the focus of the whole audience.

And except for Gervis, the other nine young nobles were basically the descendants of the great nobles of the Principality of Alban. Their parents and elders were likely among them. Naturally, they were very happy that their sons could be the center of attention, so they were all looking at them with smiles.

Just like that, under the attention of everyone, Gervis and his party walked into the banquet hall with their heads held high.

As if the time was calculated, when Gervis and others walked into the banquet hall, the loud shouts of the servants came from behind.

"His Majesty the King has arrived!"

"His Majesty the King has arrived!"

Hearing the shout, everyone in the hall quickly stood on both sides, leaving a wide aisle in the middle. Gervis did the same, walking to the front of the crowd and looking at the entrance of the hall.

A moment later, the king's figure appeared in everyone's eyes.

This was the first time Gervis had seen King Hayden up close.

Looking at it from a close distance, King Hayden is stronger than expected and a burly man. Although he is over sixty years old, as a peak gold knight he looks only in his forties.

King Hayden was wearing a purple silk dress and an exquisite black and white cloak made of some unknown animal fur, which was extremely gorgeous.

In addition, the crown on King Hayden’s head is inlaid with gems of various colors and sizes, which sparkles brightly under the light.

"This outfit would cost hundreds or even thousands of gold coins! No wonder they say that a man who becomes a king is the most domineering! If I were equipped with such equipment, I would also be the most handsome guy!"

King Hayden walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, steady and confident, with a faint smile on his face.

He was surrounded by his family members, and a beautiful woman wearing a small crown the size of a fist was on his right.

Gervis guessed that this should be King Hayden's wife, the Queen of the Duchy of Alban.

After the two of them there were two men and three women, who were undoubtedly the prince and princess of the Principality of Alban.

"Greetings to His Majesty the King! Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Greetings to His Majesty the King! Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen!"

When the king passed by each noble, everyone bowed their heads and greeted him respectfully.

After the king and his family walked to the main seat in the banquet hall, all the nobles stood up and looked in the direction of the king again.

"Today's dinner is prepared for the ten warriors who have stood out today, so I specially allow my warriors to have dinner at the same table with me and the queen."

Tonight's banquet is mainly a dinner, so several huge long tables are specially placed in this magnificent hall.

Each long table is more than ten meters long and can easily seat more than a dozen people.

The king, queen and their children sat at the main table of the banquet, while other nobles could only sit at the long tables around it.

Being able to sit at the main table and dine with King Hayden was a great honor for Gervis and others.

According to convention, the guests at the king's long table must be at least six earls, otherwise basically no one is qualified to dine with him.

But now, Gervis and others, who don’t even have titles, can have dinner at the same table with King Hayden.

After the king finished speaking, several maids quickly invited Gervis and others to take a seat.

At this time, King Hayden and Queen were sitting at the head seat at the long table, while their children were sitting on the Queen's left.

Gervis and others were arranged on the side close to King Hayden, that is, on the right hand side of King Hayden.

As the first place winner of the competition, Gervis was directly placed in the first place.

One meter away from him sat King Hayden, and directly opposite him sat the eldest prince of the Principality of Alban.

When Gervis sat down, everyone present looked at him with envy, thinking that from now on this little baron's eldest son named Harry would surely be very successful.

…

After King Hayden arrived, all the guests took their seats and tonight's dinner officially began.

Various delicacies were placed in gold and silver vessels and served to Gervis and others.

When Gervis tasted the food, he found that all the meat was monster meat, and even some of the fruits and vegetables served were magical fruits and vegetables.

"No wonder the number is so small, I thought the king was just being stingy!"

Gervis was originally confused when he saw a large and exquisite plate filled with only one piece of fruit, but now he finally understood.

What follows is a feast.

Halfway through the dinner, King Hayden waved to the servants beside him, and then spoke to Gervis and others in a peaceful tone.

"I am very happy with the bravery you have shown today, so in addition to the promised rewards, I would like to invite you to taste my treasured golden wine."

Wow!

In an instant, all the guests in the hall turned their heads to look over here, their eyes focused on a silver wine jug in the servant's hand.

Several noble sons beside Gervis also showed excitement and looked straight at the servant.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Only Gervis was a little confused. What was going on? Had his wine been sold to the Principality of Alban?

Gervis knew that the first batch of golden wine was hard to come by in the Principality of Jean, but he did not expect to see it in the royal city of the Principality of Alban.

"Do you know where this golden wine is produced?"

When the servants poured the purple-red wine in front of the young men, several of them couldn't help swallowing their saliva at the aroma of the wine.

King Hayden was very happy to see this, so he asked.

"Your Majesty, I know that this is wine brewed by the Jones family of the Principality of Jean. I heard that it is the only fine wine other than beer, and it tastes a thousand times better than beer!"

A young man obviously knew something about the golden wine. He immediately stood up and answered King Hayden respectfully.

"That's right! However, although this golden wine comes from the Jones family of the Principality of Jean, it is not brewed by the Jones family, but by the husband of the Jones family, Count Alice."

King Hayden naturally knew more information than these noble descendants, so he smiled and told them more detailed information about the origin of the wine.

"I heard that this wine is very rare even in the Principality of Jean! It's hard to get a bottle. You can't buy one for five gold coins, and there are only ten bottles in my palace!"

Wow!

Hearing the king's words, the noble guests below were once again in an uproar.

Those who could attend the King's banquet were naturally the top nobles of the Principality of Alban. Although they had heard a few words about this golden wine before, they knew very little about it.

Especially the news that these five gold coins could not buy a pot was something they could not imagine.

They had only heard that this golden wine was as delicious as nectar.

Apart from King Hayden, there were probably only a few earls who had tasted the golden wine.

The earls had tasted it at the last banquet hosted by the king, so these nobles had such a big reaction to the king taking out wine to reward Gervis and others.

"The reason I'm telling you about this golden wine is because I want you to know its value!"

"In the army that invaded the south from the Principality of Jean, the husband of the count who brewed the golden wine was also in this army!"

"His name is Gervis Gale!"

"So, if you can defeat the army of the Principality of Jean in this war and capture Gervis, then this delicious wine will belong to you in the future!"

"I guarantee here that whoever captures Gervis will own all the benefits he gains!"

It was at this moment that King Hayden revealed his true purpose.

In fact, this is also a disguised way of motivating people, no matter whether it is these newly selected warriors or the other nobles.

As long as there is enough benefit, they will exert 100% of their strength, and this wine can also serve as a booster to stimulate their motivation.

From the expressions of everyone present at this moment, it can be seen that King Hayden’s plan was successful!

Gervis was the only one present who felt unwell after hearing King Hayden's words.

He was speechless!

"Is this really appropriate? You told me in front of me that you were going to capture me and blackmail me..."
