Following the conferment of the Count title to Adam, a grand feast was held in his honor.
Needless to say, the people in attendance were the Magi of the Black Legion and all the members of the Benton Family.
Additionally, several city officials, Viscounts, and Barons were present. These were the ones who had a good relationship with the Benton Family and were, thus, invited.
Everything had happened so quickly that one moment Adam was overseeing the construction of his house, the next moment he had become a Count, and now he was greeting all these unfamiliar people with a fake smile on his face.
Thankfully, Raidon, a noble Viscount of Ravenfell, was there to guide him through it. The towering hulk of a man stood behind him and politely introduced all the guests to him.
After Adam was able to catch a breather, he looked at the man and frankly stated, "Raidon, are you not bitter about me taking your position? Be honest."
