NABC Chapter 485
Chapter 485
The banquet was attended by many nobles.
Of course, the star of the event was Ghislain. This wasn’t just any banquet—it was a victory celebration.
Though Ghislain disliked mingling with nobles, he attended out of courtesy. While he wouldn’t stay for the multiple days of festivities, he intended to make an appearance for at least one evening.
“Brother! You always acted so cocky about your fighting skills, and it turns out you really are good at it!”
Mariel greeted Ghislain warmly, her face glowing with delight. She wasn’t the only one. Other nobles rushed to heap praise upon him.
“We knew the Northern Army’s commander would succeed.”
They gathered in their cliques, busy disparaging Ghislain and venting their envy.
“It’s all luck, isn’t it?”
“Of course. He’s only here because Marquis Branford and Marquis McQuarry backed him.”
“If they had supported me instead, I would’ve crushed the Ducal Faction by now.”
“Exactly. Why isn’t he pressing the advantage? Tsk tsk. He’s still so inexperienced.”
Consumed by their bitterness, they mocked and schemed against Ghislain whenever they could. However, their efforts had no impact on him. All they could do was grumble and stew in their resentment.
As the evening progressed, others sought to use the occasion to curry favor with Ghislain.
