After entering the banquet hall, the atmosphere inside and outside were somewhat different.
How should he put it…
Vivian felt that it could be described as ” undisciplined ‘
It was already time for the banquet to begin, but everyone was seated according to their assigned seats in an orderly manner. The scene of Count Sisre going on stage to give a speech and kick off the fund-raising event did not happen.
On the contrary, everyone was still at the venue, walking around, eating, and chatting.
Tonight was supposed to be an important ‘meeting’ for the refugees outside the city under the banner of a ‘banquet’, but it seemed to have really become an ordinary social dinner for nobles.
And the main reason for all of this…
Vivian looked worriedly at the empty podium in the middle of the banquet hall.
Count Sisre, who was supposed to be hosting the banquet, was nowhere to be seen.
“Earl…Are you late?” The little girl had a bad premonition as she muttered to herself.
After hearing this, Sima, a new friend of the same, immediately tried to comfort the two of them,”
She must have been delayed by something. It’s okay. This kind of situation is very common, Vivian. We’ll just wait.
“Yes.”
Seeing that the little girl had a slightly relieved expression after being comforted by him, Sima actually sneered in his heart.
Because it was very fast.
Counting the time, the news that she had deliberately revealed should be arriving soon, right?
Sima looked at the clock in the banquet hall.
As expected.
A few minutes later, servants began to whisper into the ears of their noble masters.
“What did you say?”
“Are you sure the information is reliable?”
“It can’t be fake, right? Who would have the guts to…”
Hmph, I knew it. As long as you dare to touch this fat piece of meat outside the city, even if it’s an Earl…”
“Tsk tsk, this is going to be fun…”
An uproar broke out among the nobles at the banquet.
Soon, it turned into a commotion.
Everyone began to whisper to each other. They gathered in groups of three and discussed something in low voices.
Some of the nobles looked surprised, some shook their heads regretfully, and most of them were still watching the fire from afar, looking forward to the subsequent revelation.
The banquet was already chaotic, but now it was even more chaotic.
“What happened?”
Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Vivian’s heart sank. She had vaguely expected something.
After that, Sima, who was going to ask someone, only walked around half a circle before he quickly returned to the little girl’s side. With an incredulous expression, he whispered to Vivian,”
“This is bad! Vivian, Count Sisre… Something happened! No! It wasn’t the Earl who was in trouble. It was the Earl’s daughter, the young miss! “What? Liz, what happened to Liz?”
Vivian had felt that something was wrong from the beginning.
This was because Liz had clearly agreed with her to accompany her to the banquet, but that young miss had also disappeared.
“I heard it from others. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it seems that the Earl’s daughter was on her way to the banquet when she was stopped by an unknown force… Kidkidnapped!” Kidnapped?!
Vivian stood up from her seat.
She clenched her fists tightly. Without thinking, she was about to walk out.
As if he had expected this, he quickly pulled the little girl back. “Vivian, where are you going?”
“Let go of me, Sima. Liz needs me now. I have to save her!
After Vivian’s anxious words, Sima did not let go.
Of course, she would not let go. After all, everything tonight was prepared for
the little girl in front ot her. How could she let Vivian go?
At this time, she had helped Vivian out of her predicament by giving her an invitation and pretending to be a ” temporary friend “.
“Vivian, I know you’re anxious, but calm down and think about it. What’s the use of going over now? Do you know the identity of the kidnappers? Do you know where Miss Liz is imprisoned?”
“But…’
Vivian was about to retort when she was interrupted.
“I heard that the Earl has mobilized almost half of the city guards to look for his daughter. I believe there will be news soon. Moreover, even if those kidnappers were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to hurt the daughter of an Earl, right?”
“But what I want to say is, Vivian, have you ever thought about why those kidnappers would take such a big risk to kidnap the daughter of an earl at this juncture?”
Sima patiently persuaded Vivian.
What was even more terrifying was that Sima was telling the truth.
So it was no wonder that Vivian was led by the nose.
“You mean…” It was impossible for the little girl to be unable to react.
“That’s right! Vivian, the kidnappers looked like they were kidnapping, but in fact, their real goal was the fund-raising party tonight!”
“They want to use this method to make the earl absent and prevent the donation from being held! Stop the refugees outside the city from rebuilding their homes!
After Sima threw out this conclusion, Vivian suddenly showed a rare angry expression.
“Why, why did they do this!
“There are many reasons. After all, in the eyes of many underground forces, the refugees outside the city are resources and a huge consumer group. They can sell the necessities that the refugees need at a high price to make a huge profit. Naturally, they don’t want to see this money tree fall..”
