Chapter 974 974: Arrangement

"Greetings to Ancestors!" All the guests in the Dining Hall stood up and lowered their heads to the two Generals.

'These people really have some great influence.' Lucifer already knew that the position of a General wasn't ordinary. But seeing it with his own eyes was a different matter. In the eyes of these people, the two Generals looked like G.o.ds.

In the dining hall, many tables were arranged for the feast. For each family, a different table was prepared with enough seating arrangements.

As for the Ostrin Clan Members, their seats were in the middle of the hall.

The main table was not only bigger than the other tables but also had more seats to accommodate more people.

No one had taken their seats at the main table yet as they were waiting for the Ancestors to arrive first.

"Little one, select the one you prefer," General Ostrin told Lucifer.

Lucifer didn't hesitate either. He just picked the seat which was closest to him. He didn't care for picking the main seat or showing off. The seat next to him was selected by Raayi.

"In that case, I'll select that one," General Nimel took the seat on the other side of Lucifer.

This time, General Ostrin didn't argue. For him, it didn't matter who sat next to Lucifer. As there was only one free seat next to the young man, that meant they had to argue on who was going to sit He took the seat on the other side of General Nimel.

The other Ostrin Clan Members were slightly surprised. None of there, and it wasn't the place to argue. Since this was his clan, he was also the host in a way, so he let General Nimel do as much.

He took the seat on the other side of General Nimel.

The other Ostrin Clan Members were slightly surprised. None of them went for the main seats that were prepared for them. In fact, Lexton had specifically prepared two seats that were slightly higher than the other seats for the two Generals, but they went and sat on an ordinary seat just for Lucifer.

It was clear to him that these people paid a lot of attention to Lucifer. He didn't say much either. He ignored the main seats as well and took the seat next to his father. And thus, the seating positions were suddenly changed, making it so that Ron ended up on the main seat.

With the two Generals present, none of the guests dared to create any trouble. They would've had to be crazy to do something like that.

During the feast, Lexton also introduced the Two Generals once again, even though they didn't need any introduction. After introducing the Generals, he introduced the granddaughter of General Nimel and Lucifer.

He could easily introduce everyone there, but the problem was Lucifer. Even though Lucifer was quite special, he didn't have a special family ident.i.ty. Moreover, Lexton couldn't just tell the guests what his father told him about Lucifer since that wasn't something that people who weren't a part of Star Alliance needed to know.

As this decision was taken behind closed doors in a high-level meeting, this came under cla.s.sified information, which he couldn't share that easily. He had to keep those things about Lucifer a secret.

With those limitations, he could only go with the temporary ident.i.ty of Lucifer. He introduced Lucifer as the winner of the Captains.h.i.+p event and a disciple of General Nimel.

Even though being the Winner of the Captains.h.i.+p trial was important, what was more influential was being the disciple of a General. That way, he could ensure that no one was going to create trouble for the young man.

During the feast, many people came up to the two Generals, introducing themselves respectfully before leaving.

Even though these people didn't introduce themselves to Lucifer, he still remembered every introduction, not knowing when he might need such a thing.

While Lucifer was mildly focused on the instructions, Raayi was still thinking back to the moment Lucifer held her hand out of nowhere.

She couldn't help but wonder why he would do that. She glanced at Lucifer's distracted face, wondering if that guy liked her.

After the dinner was over and the two Generals prepared to leave, Lexton stopped them.

"General Nimel, we've also arranged for a small sparring contest for the young generation of our world to show some talent. We would be really happy if you attend it with my father and be the judge. It would be a great fortune for those youngsters to be judged by you."

General Nimel wasn't really tired, and he was also somewhat curious just what kind of talent the Ostrin Clan had in the younger generation. He had only seen Ron, after all and the kid wasn't half bad.

"I'll attend it."

He, General Ostrin, and all the other n.o.bles left the palace and went to the Practice Arena that was right outside the Royal Palace.

In the arena, the seating was already arranged along with the preparation of the stage.

"It seems you've already arranged for everything," General Ostrin smiled. Even though his son was slightly impatient and short-tempered at times, he knew that he was still the best at what he did as long as he put his mind to it. His planning was always exact.

As soon as they landed here, he was sure Lexton started preparing for this. This was an opportunity to show off their talent to a General.

The Two Generals took their seats. However, this time Lucifer was made to sit between the two of them as both of them believed that they could teach Lucifer some things through the battles they were about to see.

While General Ostrin could explain to Lucifer what tricks and skills the partic.i.p.ants were using in the battle, General Nimel could tell the best way to break those skills and win the battle as soon as possible.

For both of them, this was the perfect opportunity.

Lexton and his family sat next to their ancestors while Raayi sat next to her grandfather this time.

The signal to start the battle was given.
