Baron Hugh's opening speech was warm, gregarious and welcoming to all of the guests that arrived at the banquet and they all finished it off with a round of applause as he finished.
Lucius eyed all of the nobility and guests, and everyone seemed to like it and were most attentive to Baron Hugh's words
.
Even the ones like Baron Glintaxe and Viscountess Blackshield looked at him attentively even though the two seemed to be quite reserved people.
Baron Hugh's children, Lord Benjamin and Lady Lily were still at the circle of the youth and were paying attention gladly with a look of pride and respect to their father.
"Count Gabriel, where are you at the moment?" Baron Hugh called out as he glanced about the room and then finally located the Count still speaking with Viscount Felldan.
