“You don’t want to get married?”
“Then what am I supposed to do?”
Jason stopped in his tracks.
He certainly hadn’t forgotten that his main quest was: “Arrive at Hans Port by the 26th and attend the wedding.”
It was the afternoon of the 25th, and he had already reached Hans Port, so the first half of his quest was considered complete, but if the wedding didn’t take place…
The quest would naturally be a failure!
Unless there was a change in the main quest.
But based on his previous experiences, in order for the main quest to change, he must actively ‘change’ it himself, not wait for other natives to change it.
Simply put, all actions must begin with him.
It wasn’t just a direct influence.
Could indirect influence be possible too?
Or was it because I changed Dennise, and that in turn affected the entire world?
The idea that changing Dennise could affect the world was too exaggerated, unless she was the protagonist of this world…
He looked down at Dennise, who was clutching her forehead, baring her teeth at him, and then immediately shifted to a look of pitiful grievance when she noticed his gaze, and he couldn’t help but shake his head.
How could such a creature possibly be the protagonist?
Jason shook his head repeatedly.
His gaze naturally turned back to Gerard.
Compared to Dennise, Gerard undoubtedly seemed more like a protagonist.
A lord of one side, powerful, tenacious in character, and his morals… fairly noble.
Amid his thoughts, the three of them returned to the main building.
After a simple wash, the banquet began.
The dinner, held in honor of Jason’s arrival, took place in the three-story banquet hall.
Gerard was still in his knight’s attire.
Jason had also donned a suit of knight’s attire.
No need for custom fitting, wearing Gerard’s was just fine, no discomfort at all, it fit perfectly.
Dennise had put on a lace dress as well.
However, she had decided not to use a hoop skirt and simply wore the lace dress as if it were an ordinary cloth dress.
As soon as the three appeared, relatives waiting inside the banquet hall turned their eyes toward them.
Looking at Jason, wearing a knight’s outfit identical to Gerard’s, their eyes were filled with jealousy.
But they all masked it well.
And feigned geniality and liveliness.
As if the afternoon’s events had never happened.
With a glass of coconut wine in hand, Gerard moved to the center of the banquet hall.
Instantly, the hall went silent, and all eyes turned to Gerard.
Some people are naturally the center of everyone’s attention.
Every gesture they make captures the eyes of others.
Without a doubt, Gerard was not such a person.
But his status as the ruler of Hans Port made him into such a person.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to you all.”
“Tonight’s banquet is prepared for my cousin Jason.”
“I am very pleased to welcome him, who has come from afar.”
“Let’s raise a glass to him.”
After Gerard’s brief speech, he downed the coconut wine in his glass in one gulp.
The surrounding people also raised their glasses to Jason with fake smiles and downed their drinks.
Jason nodded in response.
His gaze then shifted to the direction of the dining table.
At this moment, Dennise unexpectedly became Jason’s companion.
Why it, being undead, was interested in the food of the living, it didn’t understand.
Dennise swallowed saliva.
Then, as Jason stepped towards the dining table, she immediately followed.
She had her eye on a roasted lamb leg!
No one was going to fight her for it!
But someone did beat Dennise to the punch.
The young lady from Golsai, Amy with a bruised face, along with two servants like herself, stood in front of the roasted lamb leg. She extended her knife and fork, cut off the juiciest piece, and placed it on her own plate, then turned her head to tauntingly look at Dennise while putting it in her mouth.
She planned to savor it slowly.
