19 Banquet Part2 (1/2)
”tssk tssk tssk Ones eyes can indeed be the death of them. Eldest brother how long has it been since we've plucked eyes together.” I said with a wicked smile
”Hmmm I'd have to say at Chen'ers 15th birthday when visiting the long kingdoms famed ice garden.” Said Duan Lin with a cold expression
”Indeed although after that day it became a true sight to see.”Said Duan Wu with calm face looking at the Prince's but others new that he was far from it
”I wonder are the spoons in the Hao Empires capital better than Long kingdoms for scooping”Said Duan Lian with a blood thirsty smile
This conversation caused the people in the banquet hall to tremble while they lost all color from their faces. Even the Hao Emperor trembled slightly before frowning. They all remembered that on that day these four brothers scooped the eyes of all the people their who looked at them for too long or too many times. Not only did they scoop the eyes of some high ranking officials kids even the former crown Prince of long kingdom wasn't spared. What made it worse was the fact they made it competition of it. On top of that Duan Ling Tian made the families of those who had their eyes plucked pay to get the eyes back and pay harassment fees disturbing the public and being disgusting.
This incident was named Iced Blood Eyes to the public. Although it wasn't the first time any of them had done it. It was however the first time they did it together. Even earning them nicknames with Duan Wen being Eye popper Duan Lian being Eye squish Duan Wu being Eye stomper and Tian being Eye extorter. The Hao Emperor remembering this sent a glare to his son's.
He had already warned these idiots not to offend them in any way. Especially with their sister. It was known to everyone that these boys are very overprotective towards her. But what the Emperor did know was that even though they were overprotective they did not hinder her from socializing. They also never killed a single person which was quite weird considering their power and the fact the Feng Clan protected them from the Central Continents experts and Demons. Although most didn't know this hell he doubted the Duan Clan even knew this. Others may think the Feng Clan coming out and showing their overwhelming power was to subdue the demons and central continent. But not him he refused to think so he had a gut feeling it was all to protect the youngest of these Duan kids. Duan Ling Tian.
With that he looked towards the Duan Clan children with an apologetic smile. ”Young Nobles and Fairies this emperor would like to apologize for not raising these brats right. Is it possible to let this matter be?” he says with sincerity which no one seems surprised about it. Considering the power of the Duan Clan in the Eastern Continent it was understandable.
After he spoke though none of us answered. Instead we turned our heads towards eldest brother. Even I did. Although I could do anything I wanted in the Eastern Continent not everything seemed so simple which is why we never killed. In terms of things concerning Imperial families or major clans that the Duan Clan may do business with. It was always handled by father our mother's or eldest brother. So in this situation regardless of anything we would all follow his words in these sorts of situations.
This action did not go unnoticed by anyone in the hall as they came to a realization of the inner workings of the Duan Clan. While they had their thoughts eldest brother looked at each of us in our eyes one by one before going back to elder sister who just shook her head slightly to which no one noticed. With that eldest brother spoke calmly
”Sure as long as it doesn't happen again we can act as though it never happened.”
”Thank you young nobles and young fairies.” He said with a relieved tone before turning towards the other guest delivering two crisp claps saying ” I would like to thank the various clan heads and young ones for coming to this Haos banquet. I ask that everyone enjoy themselves as we listen to the music while watching the dancers. Now enjoy yourselves.”
As he finished A group of palace maids came carrying in different types of food and drink. Followed behind them are the dancers and musician's. If someone from earth was to see these instruments they would be surprised as the jewels and metals made the guitar, base ,piano, and drums quite flamboyant.
As the music played Tian watched the dancers. This was the first time he had seen the dancers of this world. He had to say it was indeed entertaining he even ignored his food as well as the eyes of the girls who would continuously look at him with yearning as he watched the dance.
His brothers sister and Bing'er understood his gaze. It wasn't one of lust but curiosity of the unknunknown. Mo Su'er on the other hand thought he was interested in one of the girls because of the dance. She made the choice of going back to the Duan Clan and asking her Aunt Feng if she knew of someone to teach her to dance.
