Unknown Knight

Although this frivolous behavior was extremely rude to Axe, and some of the flower protectors on the opposite side even snorted and almost exploded, due to the identities of the two, no one dared to stand up and no one could say anything.

Axe looked at the pseudo-rivals with disdain and provocatively put a piece of steak into Katia's mouth.

The old and shrewd Voldrat was afraid that something unexpected would happen and ruin the planned plan, so he stood up and said with his glass in hand:

"Aixboye has come all the way here as our son-in-law of Kudan City. Let's all give him a toast!"

This statement was apparently a compliment but was actually an insult. Everyone in Kudan City stood up and drank it first to show their respect, and then waited to see the joke of the people from Aix.

Aix didn't know what Voldrat meant, so he stood up, picked up the glass and said:

"Come on, come on, the people toasting us are all our brothers-in-law from Tangquan Fortress. We have to toast them back with two glasses of wine. We can't let people say that we from Tangquan Fortress bully the younger generation."

In this back and forth, neither side gained the upper hand. It was obvious that someone on the other side was not convinced and took the initiative to come over with a glass of wine to compete in drinking.

These relatives of Voldrat, who usually act arrogantly in Kudan City, are mostly drunkards and womanizers. Some of them seem tall and mighty, but in fact they have been hollowed out and are very weak inside.

On the other hand, due to Aix's strict discipline, everyone has their own things to do, their work and rest schedules are very regular, and their nutrition is comprehensive. Except for gatherings, there are very few people who drink alcohol privately, and their spleen and stomach are obviously better than those of Voldrat's relatives on the opposite side.

After the comparison, the relatives soon couldn't stand it anymore. Some of them were drunk and were carried away. Voldrat had to yell at his relatives to stop them from making a fool of themselves.

This made the following banquet much duller. Both parties lowered their heads to eat, but some simple-minded people would occasionally look up and look at the other party sinisterly.

When an apple pie was served, the alert Aix clearly felt a subtle change in the atmosphere, and several people even held their breath.

When Axe was hesitating whether to eat the piece of pie in front of him, he saw from the corner of his eye a white buck-toothed girl in the shadow opposite, pretending to tidy up her hair with the OK gesture. Who else could it be but Cress?

This OK gesture was taught to her by Axel himself. It was a little secret between the two of them. She showed it here without saying anything. Then she ate the apple pie in front of her with peace of mind.

When he finished eating, he seemed to hear a sigh of relief, and then he heard Voldrat say:

"Ketia, my dear daughter, everyone here today is our relative, there are no outsiders, why don't you perform a dance that you are good at to liven up the atmosphere for everyone.

Katia seemed to be in a much better mood after hearing this. She changed her gloomy face after sitting next to Aix and was about to stand up and walk to the middle of the hall with a smile on her face, but Aix grabbed her hand and asked her sincerely:

"My dear lady, today in front of all our relatives and friends, tell me, do you still love me?"

Katia's face was as cold as ice, and she didn't even want to look at him. She struggled hard with her hands, shaking off Axel's entanglement as if she was disdaining a dirty rag.

Then he went straight to the dance floor in the center of the hall, bowed slightly to his old father and relatives, and started a brisk dance.

While dancing, Katia swept away the gloom on her face. The more she danced, the more cheerful and happy she became, as if she had been reborn, as if more beautiful things were waiting for her tomorrow.

She was dancing and turning like this, and accidentally saw the playful face of Axelrod. Suddenly she felt something was wrong, and turned around to see the old father whom she had always feared, covering his chest with distorted features. He screamed on the spot, and froze in place with his hand covering his mouth.

It was not just Voldrat who was like this, many of the relatives were like this as well. Even some of the relatives who were not seriously poisoned wanted to stand up and resist, but were slashed in the neck by the dagger in the sleeves of the servants who had stood behind them at some point.

Among them, the bucktooth girl who no longer had buck teeth was the most powerful. Not only did she slash the necks of three people in a row, she also swung out the dagger in her hand and pierced the neck of a relative who had already drawn his sword.

Katia couldn't believe what she saw, and she didn't understand what the problem was. As she was trembling and unsteady, a pair of strong hands supported her from behind and moved her body over. It was Aix with a mocking look on his face.

He said to Katia in a frivolous tone:

"My dear lady, it is so boring to dance alone. Let your husband dance with you for the last time. Niza will accompany Benboye!"

After saying that, he held Katia and started dancing. They were dancing a waltz. The characteristic of this kind of dance is that if one party has a stronger dancing style, she can lead the other party to dance, even if she doesn't know how to dance this kind of dance at all, she can still dance it well.

Under the melodious music of Nizza, the two people in the field danced an ecstatic waltz as if no one was around.

The soldiers who had been preparing outside the house for a long time had already drawn their weapons and rushed in, engaging with the Kudan people who were ambushing in the backyard. For a moment, there were flashes of swords and blood.

But no one dared to disturb the two people who were dancing gracefully, as if they were shadows projected from another dimension, and had nothing to do with anything here. Only the selfless dance made them ignore the disputes, the blood, and the cruelty.

Until Fatis shouted:

"Listen up, Kudan warriors! The city lord who gave you orders is dead, your family members are all in the city, and your new lord is right in front of you. Do you still want to rebel? Why don't you kneel down and surrender quickly, and meet the new master of Kudan City!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the fighting stopped immediately. There was only the sound of "bang bang bang" and all kinds of weapons fell to the ground. All the surviving Kudan soldiers knelt down to Aix on the field.

Aix also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to dance, and threw Katia, who had fainted from crying, to the ground without mercy and said:

"Lock him up and keep him under close watch!"

Then he waved and hugged Cress who was jumping towards him, turned around and left in a leisurely manner, and as he walked away, he considerately scraped off the blood foam on Cress's cheek with his hand.

It was through chatting with Kress that Axe learned the story behind this.

It turned out that Cress had been in the kitchen with the cooks, preparing dishes according to the banquet menu. When he was about to finish an apple pie, Katia's personal maid rushed in and drove everyone in the kitchen out.

Cress leaned over the door and observed, and found that the maid was dripping a liquid into the apple pie. He didn't understand what she was doing, so he rushed in and controlled the maid.

After finding out the situation, he acted decisively. He took the maid to a corner and beheaded her. He and two other cooks who were hiding in the kitchen tricked the other cooks into the kitchen and kept them under guard.

Then, according to the previous plan, it rotated half a circle like a dance and implemented it in the opposite way. The apple pie served to Aix first was without any topping, and the apple pie served to Voldrat and his relatives later was with topping.

The girl was worried, so she went to the front hall to give Axe a hint, which led to the scene of the OK gesture.
