Chapter 466 - 254: Reinforcements or Enemies?

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream erupted from the lips of the family guard beside Earl York.

Only to see a sharp blade pierce through the back of the guard, and the one who struck, wearing dark leather armor, was indeed one of the elites brought by the Earl of Cumbria.

This seemed to trigger some sort of switch.

With the first scream, followed by sounds of fury, the clashing of metal, and screams that rose one after another, the reinforcements brought by the Earl of Cumbria were actually fighting with the guards of the York clan in the banquet hall.

"Earl of Cumbria, you betrayed the Fadir Kingdom, you..." Under the protection of the guards, Earl York trembled with rage, glaring at the Earl of Cumbria!

Earl York never expected he would invite a wolf into his house.

But he couldn’t comprehend why the Earl of Cumbria, a top governor of a city, would also betray the kingdom?

"Me? I’ve never betrayed anyone," the Earl of Cumbria said, a cunning smile spreading across his face.

Then, to Earl York’s incredulous gaze, the Earl of Cumbria’s face suddenly transformed into that of a blue-skinned monster before reverting back.

It was like an illusion.

"You... you..."

Meanwhile, the noble ladies and baronesses who had been gracefully dancing, along with some knights and barons with weaker combat abilities, frantically tried to flee but had barely reached the main entrance of the banquet hall when they saw a beautiful woman in a red mage robe standing guard.

With just a casual gesture, she effortlessly killed several panicked nobles and guards, and soon there were several corpses at her feet.

This immediately silenced the terrified noble ladies and baronesses, leaving them neither able to flee nor to return.

"Shh~ don’t run around."

"Running around can be deadly."

Lilith placed her pale index finger against her red lips, making a silencing gesture, smiling as she spoke.

Seeing that the exit was completely sealed, the noble ladies and baronesses could only huddle in the corners of the banquet hall like quivering quails.

On the other side.

The reception room on the castle’s second floor.

Countess Jessica was entertaining an old friend, Siegfried.

"Jessica, after all these years, you’re still as beautiful as ever, and you’ve only grown more charming with time," Siegfried, clad in a black robe, performed a hand-kiss gesture, his eyes brazenly scanning the noblewoman before him.

The maid nearby, upon hearing Siegfried’s words, momentarily paused in her tea-pouring.

She had encountered many guests, but the words of this one were simply too direct, too bold!

It might barely suffice as a passionate pursuit if directed towards a maiden.

But the issue was, the lady of the house was long married, and young Master Aaron was already eighteen!

The maid understood this well, as did Countess Jessica.

Her somewhat pale, beautiful face stiffened slightly, then she forced a smile and changed the subject, "Siegfried, when did you ascend to the extraordinary?"

As she spoke, Jessica discreetly withdrew her hand from Siegfried’s grip.

However, he didn’t answer her question, instead speaking somewhat to himself, "Jessica, if you had chosen to be with me back then, I’m certain you would have also entered the extraordinary by now."

These words deepened Jessica’s anger.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was her reliance to solve the current crisis, Jessica would have preferred not to continue this conversation with her former friend.

The room fell into an eerie silence.

Suddenly.

The roar of a dragon from outside the window shattered the quiet of the room.

Jessica immediately rose to look outside, simultaneously raising her staff to incantation to activate the castle’s defensive array.

But at that moment, her delicate wrist holding the staff was suddenly grabbed tightly by another hand with a "slap," immobilizing her.

"Siegfried, you..."

Without a doubt, touching a married woman was highly discourteous, especially when that woman was a countess.

More importantly, this action revealed his stance.

"You didn’t come because of my invitation." Jessica immediately realized something, her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Siegfried.

Siegfried smiled silently.

Just as a chill ran down Jessica’s spine and she intended to activate the Flame Shield, the next moment, she felt her head spin, and she collapsed softly onto the supple deerskin sofa.

"Madam?" The maid beside her exclaimed, but she too soon fell softly to the floor.

...

At the castle entrance.

"The great enemy faced by the clan is an extraordinary level Dragon Rider, and my mother said their dragon isn’t an ordinary dragon, but a venomous Spiked Venom Wyvern," Aaron respectfully explained.

"Spiked Venom Wyvern?" Raine nodded, intrigued.

He had certainly heard of dragons.

Though their combat power was far inferior to that of a giant dragon, they were still quite ferocious.

As for the venom, Raine wasn’t too concerned, as both elite Enchanting Demon and Flom Demon bloodlines granted him nearly 90% poison immunity.

"Yes, it is said that their venom is extremely terrifying, once tainted, even my mother can’t cure it."

"Oh? Aaron, who is your mother?"

"My mother is a Mage of Classes Level ten."

"That’s rare, but Aaron, it seems you didn’t inherit your mother’s talents." Raine looked surprised, speaking.
