The vassals had to leave later than the great nobles. After all, the vassals were half the masters of Barton County, and they couldn't let the guests leave first.

Not only that, after the guests left, vassals such as Natsu, Wilson, and Old Thor went upstairs with the baron to have a secret conversation.

Since the vassals didn't leave, the heirs naturally had to stay put.

The heirs were scattered in the hall, mainly divided into three groups: Gandal's lineage, Wilson's lineage, and the heirs of the seven major families.

Because Latin and Knight Will are not married yet, Luther's group consists of only six people.

"I think attending this kind of dance is the most boring thing." Luther took a sip of hot water from the wine glass. He drank a lot of wine in the evening and felt a little strange. He drank some hot water to relieve it.

Luther missed the little dragon in the castle a little, because if he was in Pompeii, he would ride the little dragon to hunt.

Then enjoy the monster meat.

Eating monster meat, drinking magic potions, and doing a certain amount of training every day, Luther felt that he had reached the edge of a breakthrough and could enter the intermediate knight realm at any time.

Luther was very persistent in his territory and his knighthood. If he put his energy into such a boring dance, he might as well go hunting on a dragon.

"I'm really not interested in this kind of dance." Marshall nodded, looking a little depressed. But his reason was completely different from Luther's.

He was upset because there were not enough noble ladies attending the ball.

The women were all noble ladies, and they were all wives of great nobles and vassals. It was impossible to get involved. Such a ball was really boring.

At this time, Luther saw Newton looking around, as if he was about to run away at any time. He couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, you seem to be in a hurry?"

"I want to see my girlfriend." Newton answered honestly.

"By the way, we haven't met Newton's girlfriend yet."

"What's her name?"

The heirs asked with great interest, although they were not optimistic about Newton's romance with the farmer's daughter.

"Her name is Aisha. I'll take you to meet her after their conversation is over." Newton said with a smile, as happy as a kitten being patted on the head by its owner.

Women have great power.

There is a saying that goes, even the most tempered steel will fail to soften.

Barton Castle was not far from the villa area, so Viscount Silver Wing's carriage arrived quickly. Lady Elisa didn't intend to return to the villa this time, so she didn't bring the key.

Fortunately, the lights in the villa were still on. Mrs. Elisa lifted her skirt, walked gracefully to the front of the villa and knocked on the door.

"Diana, Diana, I'm your cousin Elisa." Elisa shouted while knocking on the door.

Inside the villa, three young ladies were washing dishes and cleaning the room together. Since they were sharing the house and it wasn't too big, they didn't hire servants.

"Cousin Elisa?" Diana was cleaning the living room and said in surprise when she heard the call.

"Is this the owner of this villa?" Miss Beeman walked by carrying a bucket.

"Yeah." Diana didn't think much about it. She nodded, put down the broom and went to open the door. Miss Beeman brought the bucket to the kitchen and called Miss Aisha who was washing dishes to come out together.

"Cousin, what happened?" Diana opened the door and saw Lady Elisa. She also saw the drunken Viscount Silver Wing and the guards, and asked in surprise.

"I want to stay here one night," said Miss Eliza.

"How can so many people fit in?" Diana felt a little uneasy, especially when she saw the drunken Viscount.

"It's just the Viscount and I, and the guards will stand guard around until dawn," said Lady Elisa.

"Alisa, is this your niece?" Viscount Silver Wing looked Diana up and down with lustful eyes, then lowered his head and bit Diana's earlobe.

Diana was very beautiful, and perhaps because she was related to Lady Eliza, she looked a bit like Lady Eliza when they were young.

This aroused the Viscount's impulse.

"What are you doing!!!!" Diana's face turned pale and she quickly reached out to push Viscount Silver Wing away. However, how could a weak woman like her possibly be a match for a high-ranking knight? Instead, she was picked up by Viscount Silver Wing and walked towards the hall.

"Mr. Viscount, Mr. Viscount." Lady Elisa had not expected such a situation to happen, and walked up in panic.

At this time, Miss Aisha and Miss Biman also appeared in the hall and were shocked to see this scene.

"I'm in a bad mood today, four people are fine." The Viscount glanced at them, laughed lewdly, and then gave the order.

"close the door!"

The guards outside looked at each other, all showing helplessness. Then one of the knights went up and closed the door of the villa.

Their Viscount is truly willful and reckless.

The previous generation Viscount Silver Wing was a very stable person, so how come he gave birth to such an heir?

And this is Patton territory.

This embarrassment was brought to Patton.

The only slightly good thing is that these three ladies seemed to be renting the house, and they were probably not from noble families, so it would be fine if they just had to pay some money afterwards.

It's Mrs. Elisa, and Mrs. Elisa's cousin is a bit troublesome.

There are many powerful knights such as senior knights and intermediate knights among Viscount Silver Wing's guards, but they often have to clean up the mess for the Viscount, and sometimes they feel helpless.

………… .Barton Castle.

In the living room on the second floor.

Baron Philip sat in the master's seat, while Natsu, Wilson, Old Thor, and the rest of the vassal knights sat in two rows.

Except for Knight Gandaor, Babana, and Gandaor's second daughter who stayed in the hall because of her young age, all the vassals of the Barton family were here.

Babana, the second daughter of Gandor, has become the modern-day Knight of Gandor.

"I summoned you here this time because the Earl sent someone to tell me that the New Party's activities have become more frequent recently. I don't know what they are planning, nor when it will break out. Now we should work hard to summon knights and increase the defense in the territory."

Baron Philip said worriedly.

He was a mediocre man. If it weren't for the support of Natsu, Wilson, and Old Thor, he would have been killed by Lucy and Patton.

Even when the Barton family was still strong, he would probably be terrified.

Not to mention that the Patton family’s strength has been greatly weakened now.

The vassal officials were all very serious after hearing this.

"Apart from the frequent activities of the New Party, is there no more intelligence?" Natsu Wilson asked in a deep voice.

"The New Party's activities are very secretive. It's a great accomplishment for the Count to be able to detect their frequent activities." Baron Philip shook his head and said.
