Oster spun his glass, then drank the wine in one gulp.

The slightly bitter wine watered his taste buds.

He looked gloomy at the two people dancing in the center of the dance floor.

Many people around said that they were created by heaven and earth, and some even speculated that Elizabeth would be the future mistress of Earl Joels' Mansion.

Oster pushed his upper jaw with the tip of his tongue, his hands were itchy, and he wanted to drag the boy off the stage and hide it, so that no one could see it.

But his rationality firmly suppressed this idea, preventing him from really making a move.

But Trigg, who was standing beside him, admired it with gusto, and commented from time to time, "Young master's dance is becoming more and more aristocratic, and he is indeed Joels' sole heir."

"Actually, I feel that Anna is quite suitable for the young master. Although she is a low-ranking earl's family and cannot compare to Elizabeth's tutor, she is indeed a good choice compared to others."

He seemed to have discovered something interesting, and he was a little surprised: "Huh? People who want to dance with the young master have already started queuing up. Hahahahaha, the young master has started to have peach blossoms since he was a child."

He excitedly said to Oster, only to find that he put down his wine glass and left here without looking back.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Drink too much, go out to get some fresh air." Oster's voice disappeared into the night.

Joels declined Elizabeth's second invitation, "Sorry, I'm a little tired today, come back next time."

"Well, good luck to you then."

"You too."

Elizabeth lifted the corner of her skirt and bent slightly. This is the most basic etiquette among nobles.

Joels came to Trigg and looked around, "Why didn't you see Oster?"

"He seems to have drunk too much, but I remember that he only drank a glass of wine. He needs to practice his drinking power another day, so that one drink will not work. This is not a qualified housekeeper."

Joels raised his eyebrows. A person like Auster who has a strong endurance will not get drunk just because of a glass of wine.

What's more, in order to take care of many female relatives today, he didn't use particularly high-strength alcohol, so he got drunk with such alcohol, which is less credible than someone telling him that old sows can climb trees.

He still wanted to say something, but he saw the queen leaving slowly surrounded by the crowd.

Trigg also saw it, "The queen is leaving, do you want to go and see?"

Joels nodded, and he didn't care about looking for Oster. He hurriedly trot over, stood behind his father, and exchanged false greetings with everyone.

"In the future, we will rely on Earl Joels to protect our empire's borders. Tomorrow, I will ask the sergeant to prepare a speech and send it to the Earl's Palace."

"Thank you Queen for your concern."

"Little Joels is not too young, so we can make an engagement first. If Earl Joels doesn't make an engagement for him, then I'll make an appointment for him." The Queen joked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am still young now, not to mention that my mother has been thinking about it all the time, and the matter of engagement still needs to be discussed in the long run."

In a word, watertight.

The queen smiled and said nothing.

The coachman had already brought the horse over, took off his hat, and bowed to her, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Everyone watched the queen leave, which also indicated that tonight's banquet was coming to an end.

Many nobles greeted them directly at the door and were about to leave.

All the guests had already left, and the well-trained maids quickly cleaned the hall, although it was a lot of work.

"Okay, it's been too long to welcome guests tonight, and everyone is tired, go to rest first, it's not too late to clean up tomorrow." Jon waved his hand and drove all the maids away.

"Yes, Count."

After all the people in the hall had left, he patted Joels on the shoulder, "Go to bed early, too. You can rest for a day tomorrow, and there are still many things to do after that. Today's homework has not been checked yet, and tomorrow will continue examine."

"Okay, father."

Joels replied, and was about to ask about Oster's whereabouts, when he saw the Lord walking slowly from outside.

"count."

"You can't drink enough, you have to practice hard, otherwise you won't be able to stop drinking for Joels in the future."

"Of order, I'll practice hard." There was an unnatural smile on his face, but everyone thought it looked like he was drunk, so they didn't care.

When the last light of Earl's Mansion went out, the real darkness had just arrived.

The moon had just climbed into the very center of the sky, and a trace of flame pierced the dark night sky.

Under the action of the wind, the small flame gradually began to grow bigger.

A scream scared away the owls perched on the tree, and also woke up the sleeping people in the Earl's Mansion.

But the fire has become a prairie fire, which cannot be changed.

The door of the master bedroom was kicked open, and Trigg stumbled in, "Count, count, wake up."

The count, who was choked by the smoke and couldn't speak, was still trying his best to point in one direction, "Save...save..."

"But count, what do you do?"

Jon shook his head, "Save...save...go..."

Trigg looked at Jon with a cruel heart, let him go, and immediately turned around and ran towards Joels' room.

"Master, young master..." He shook Joels, but the young master was already unconscious.

Trigg looked at the window, which was less than five meters away, but the flames had already climbed up his back, and the intense burning sensation tore his nerves.

He gritted his teeth and slowly crawled to the window, trying to throw the young master out.

But a foot on his wrist stopped his intentions.

Trigg looked up, and a face that was still drinking with him today appeared, "Oster..."

"He didn't die?" The visitor was a little surprised. "It really is the butler of the Joels family, but the problem is not too big. Sooner or later, he will die."

Trigg's eyes widened, and with all his strength, he broke free from the man's shackles, and threw the boy in his hand from the third floor.

And a dagger was accurately inserted into his left heart.

"You... this..." Trigg's voice became smaller and smaller, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at last, but the man could tell that he was saying "traitor".

He looked out the window, and saw that many civilians had already been awakened and came to fight the fire. It was already unrealistic to kill Joels now.

After thinking for a while, he turned around and entered the sea of ​​flames, disappearing into the vast sea of ​​flames.

The famous Joels family was finally swallowed by a fire. It is said that only the young master and Auster survived the fire.

Some people said that it was because the demon god was no longer protecting the Joels family, and some people said that it was a crime committed by jealous people.

No matter what kind of speech, both are, Joels decline.
