Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Chapter 124: Banquet, Reuniting with an Old Friend



Fredrinn headed to the banquet hall with Kristine. He wanted to bring Cain with him to the banquet, but the guy's personality and temperament just didn't fit well with the occasion so he just left him to oversee the guards unit's training.

The servants they encountered along the way bowed to him respectfully. The initial disdain they once had for him was now replaced with reverence. His status in the family had even subtly exceeded that of his father, the patriarch of the household.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, all eyes immediately gathered on Fredrinn. His dashing looks attracted the attention of the young ladies. Some madams even looked like they were ready to risk it all.

Under everyone's gazes, Fredrinn calmly walked along the red carpet. He greeted and shook hands with the guests who approached him. He perfectly exhibited the attitude of an heir from a supreme household, garnering everyone's admiration and praise.

After greeting the guests, Fredrinn approached his father and bowed to him. He then greeted the elders of the supreme households. Of course, he also reluctantly greeted the princess.

After he greeted the important guests, Fredrinn went to chat with his friends. The first on his list was Lucas and Samantha. The former stared at him with malice and his eyes seemed like they would spurt fire at any second.

Fredrinn feigned ignorance when he saw Lucas' expression. Meanwhile, Samantha almost failed to hold back her laughter when she saw this.

Next, Fredrinn went to chat with the heirs of the supreme households. He didn't forget to send Evan Evergreen a glare when he passed by him. However, this time, Evan no longer dared to look him straight in the eyes. He even faintly trembled when Fredrinn came close to him.

Not long later, the main event of the banquet, the conferment of dukeship to the Firecrown Household, finally began.

Princess Danielle served as the king's proxy. She handed the official seal and documents to Roland. She also presented the gifts from the royal family.

After which, the elders of the supreme household followed suit. One by one, they presented the gifts they prepared. Finally, the representatives of the martial households handed their gifts to Roland.

The elders of the Firecrown Supreme Household were all smiles from start to finish. They never thought that they would see this scene in their lifetime. It was beyond their dreams!

After the conferment ceremony, Roland took the chance to announce that his wife would soon give birth to his daughter. This news surprised everyone and they immediately congratulated him. They also wondered if his daughter would be as talented as Fredrinn. If that happened, the Firecrown Household was destined to rise to greater heights.

The banquet continued for the next five hours. Delve into stories on m-v-l-e-mpyr

As soon as the banquet concluded, Fredrinn excused himself and headed straight to his daughter's room. Because of his busy schedule, he had neglected her in the past few days which made him feel extremely guilty.

The little girl was being taken care of by his mother's most trusted associates. There were also elite martial practitioners stationed nearby to ensure her safety.

When he arrived, he found out that Avariel was sleeping on her bed. He sat next to her and gently caressed her face. "I'm sorry for being a bad father, my little angel. I promise that I'll make it up to you." He whispered as he planted a kiss on her face.

He stayed with her for some time before he headed to his room to get some well-deserved rest. To prepare for the banquet, he moved around the city nonstop in the past few days. Although he was already a high-ranking martial practitioner, he still felt mentally exhausted.

Soon, the Firecrown Supreme Household was officially recognized as the sixth supreme household of the Star Wind Kingdom. The citizens of the kingdom had different opinions about this matter, but almost everyone was happy with the emergence of another superpower in the kingdom.

After all, their presence would make the kingdom more powerful which in turn would positively affect the safety of the normal citizens.

After being officially recognized as the sixth supreme household, the Firecrown Supreme Household soon began their recruitment of soldiers. Many martial practitioners were attracted by their recruitment. Fredrinn even spotted some rare gems among these people.

During the recruitment, Fredrinn encountered an acquaintance. It was the guard captain of the Drunken Mist Inn where he once stayed with his mother. He had almost forgotten about this fellow since he had never heard any news from him.

Fredrinn had a good impression of this guy. He was a magical beast lover who also had some talent in cultivation. Although his talent might not be comparable to the prodigies like his closest aides, this guy definitely had some potential. Despite being raised in a commoner family, he managed to reach the Foundation Establishment realm before the age of 40. It was a feat that was by no means ordinary.

"It's been a while, Thurman. I thought that you would never come to see me." Fredrinn smiled as he took the initiative to extend his hand.

Thurman was nervous when he came here. He thought that Fredrinn had already forgotten him. To think that Fredrinn had even remembered his name. This filled him with so much emotion. "I feel honored that you still remember me, my lord." He bowed respectfully.

"Dispense with the formalities. I already invited you to join us a long time ago so there's no need for you to go through all the tests. Follow me. There is only one test that you need to take."

Thurman didn't expect that he would receive this kind of treatment. It filled him with immense pride when he saw the jealous gazes of the other martial practitioners who came for the job.

"My lord, what test do I need to take?" He curiously asked.

Fredrinn chuckled. "It's just a spirit root test so there's no need for you to be nervous. We need to confirm your spirit root to know your potential, but even if you don't have a good spirit root, I'll still give you a suitable position in the household's army." He patted Thurman's shoulder reassuringly.

"I see. Thank you for your kindness, my lord!"
