"Huh?" Lance was stunned: "What do I need to prepare for?"
"The etiquette officer came to report just now." Sebastian said with a smile: "The first prince is hosting a banquet tonight, and you are one of the guests."
"My brother?" Lance was confused: "Why does he suddenly wan to hold a banquet?"
"It's not clear yet," Sebastian said, "I do a little research and find that many people were invited to this banquet. However, although Your Highness you don't like to attend before, banquets for nobles are very common."
Lance thought for a moment, then nodded: "I see, please help me prepare the dress."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Sebastian went to prepare things, while Barbara's eyes were filled with stars and her voice even sounded in high pitch: "Boss~~~"
"What are you doing!" Lance was startled: "What's the matter with you?"
"Well..." Barbara's voice became soft: "It's a party."
"So what?"
"Can...can I go with you?" Barbara said nervously: "In my life, I have never seen so many rich people...I mean I have never seen so many nobles."
Lance looked wary: "Don't even think about it! There will be so many saint-level masters there! I won't protect you if you are caught stealing!"
"Oh boss, what are you talking about~~" The little succubus took his hand and shook it: "I just want to see the nobles'life. And you see, I am strong and can also be your guard!"
Lance smiled: "My guards will stand outside the hall and be blown by the wind."
"...."
"And I'm going to my eldest brother's party. It's not a dangerous party! Why do I need you to follow me!"
"Boss~~~" Barbara's voice became louder again: "I can be a female companion instead of a guard, right? The most important thing is that you have a human face, and I can share the burden with you when you are judged as ugly!"
Hey! Lance wanted to show his bad temper!
"You just stay at home!" Lance said viciously, "You're such a bad talker! If I go there with you, you will make me the most disgusting person!"
"I promise!" Barbara stood at attention and raised one hand: "I will never talk nonsense tonight! I will never steal anything! And... I can help you a lot, right? And I have a human face. Hey, you can look at me when you get tired of looking at demons!"
Lance suddenly remembered. Oh my god, this is a demon party!
"You can't steal things and talk nonsense." Lance immediately changed his words: "You must obey my orders! Otherwise, you won't be allowed to go out again!"
"Yes, boss!"
"Go to Dana and ask her to prepare a dress for you."
"Thank you, boss!"
Anna saw that they were chatting happily, so she left silently without saying anything.
The carriage belonging to the royal family set off from the Lance mansion. After passing through several streets, the carriage arrived at its destination - the eldest prince's residence.
At this time, various carriages were parked outside there. Lance in the carriage saw that the people entering were all wearing luxury clothes.
In fact, under the current aristocratic system, many nobles are willing to stay in the royal capital not because they are close to the center of power. After all, they can be the local emperor in their own territory.
The reason for they are willing to stay in the royal capital is very simple because the living conditions here are good, where you enjoy whatever you want. Therefore, they prefer to stay in the royal capital, not in some particularly their own rich territories.
As soon as the royal carriage appeared, many people stopped at the door. Lance, dressed in a white suit, took Barbara's hand and got out of the carriage.
"Your Highness." The sever who was greeting guests at the door walked directly to the side of his carriage this time and bent down: "Please follow me."
The gate of the mansion was not decorated, but the path to it was covered with a red carpet leading directly to the inner courtyard. Lance was different from that of those ordinary guests, so the sever led him into the banquet hall from the main entrance.
In the hall, cups and glasses were intertwined, candles were lit on the long tables which filled with delicious food and fine wine. Obviously, Lance didn't come too early.
In the banquet hall, everyone was already chatting in small groups, showing that the protagonist hadn't arrived yet.
This should have been an extremely luxurious banquet, but in Lance's eyes, it looked like the scene from a horror movie!
Damn it, a spider in dress, a goat in a dress, a lizard in a dress, a ghost in a dress, a big beetle in a dress... hmm?!
Big beetle?! Lance wanted to run away but his feet went weak because he saw Nicole!
Why is this beetle princess here? !
Lance's coming was destined to be in the spotlight. He saw that almost everyone was looking at him. Before he came, he always felt that he had forgotten something, but now that he suddenly remembered it.
It's over!
There must be men and women in the banquet! And it's the Demon Race's banquet...
Lance raised his head and looked at the nobleman closest to him. She was an aunt from the Dragon Lizard Race. How could he describe it? A lizard that could stand and walk, and it wasn't even white! Even heavy foundation couldn't hide her terrifying face.
With a body of more than two meters tall, she swung her tail unconsciously the moment she saw Lance.
When he saw her, her face already became red.
[Target state: Obsessed]
And Lance knew this dragon lizard. There was no way he could be helped, she's too famous!
Dragonborn Province, the wife of Grand Duke Anderson!
Besides, this duchess was just the first one influenced him. Lance was desperate. Why was his banquet different from those in ordinary novels?
When she noticed him looking at her, Mrs. Anderson was already walking towards him. Lance pulled Barbara's hand to leave, but he underestimated the dragon lizard's movement speed, and saw this two-meter-tall lizard man standing in front of Lance.
"Isn't this Your Highness Lance?" Mrs. Anderson held up the wine glass and stared at Lance. She said in a soft voice, "I haven't seen you for several years. You are already a handsome boy."
Lance nodded awkwardly with a fake smile on his face: "You praised, Madam."
"No." Anderson bent down, lowered her head and looked directly at him: "Your Highness, I heard that you have been famous recently."
Two pieces of scales appeared in front of Lance, and he leaned back, keeping a distance. He was wailing in his heart!
Aren't lizards born from eggs like chicken? So why does the female lizard give birth to these useless things? Are the scales used to stop bullets?
"It seems like so." Lance took a step back and said with a dry smile: "It's just that my power has awakened a little."
"This is really good news, Your Highness." Mrs. Anderson pursed her lips and whispered in his ear: "There are no people in my house tonight. Do you want to come and take a look?"
"No!" Lance pulled Barbara back several steps and cold sweat broke out on his face.
Mrs. Anderson frowned slightly. She looked at Barbara who was holding Lance's hand and asked curiously: "Which family does this lady from? Why have I never seen her?"
Lance had already thought of an excuse for Barbara's identity, "This is Sebastian's niece."
Barbara also tried her best to restrain herself and said with a smile: "Good evening, Mrs. Anderson."
Lance looked at Barbara differently. This girl actually knew how to talk well.
Mrs. Anderson stood up straight and looked at her with disdain: "Isn't he from the Desford Race? How comes he have a succubus niece."
Barbara still kept smiling: "I am a half-blood, Madam."
"I can tell." The duchess's face was full of impatience. "You are so ugly, everyone can tell that you a mixed race"
Lance clearly felt Barbara's fist tighten. He had a bad feeling in his heart and was about to stop her, but she blurted out loudly: "Who are you calling ugly!!"
In an instant, the entire banquet hall fell silent. In fact, when Mrs. Anderson came to the front of Lance, almost all eyes glanced at there.
After all, one was the third prince of the Second Demon Capital, and the other was the duchess who holds much power in the empire. The dialogue between them was even eye-catching.
After Barbara said this, everyone was silent and waited for the next development. Sure enough, Mrs. Anderson was stunned by these words and then her expression changed instantly: "Where does this unreasonable girl come from!"
Before Barbara could say anything, there was a thump of footsteps followed by a voice: "What did this lady say? Why do you regard her unreasonable?"
