My Husband's Ghost
Chapter 9 The Meeting of the Clan Nobles

The Clan Meeting of Nobles

In celebration of the ghostly welcome Van Costel IV performed rousing it makes the atmosphere in the valley of Moldova.

"Mr Van Costel there was news from all the clan envoys that the clan leaders would come at this Samhain celebration" said Antolin Lucian.

"Yes, I understand, and prepare to welcome them, Lucian", said Van Costel.

"We've arranged everything to even have prepared a number of events for them, sir", continued Antolin Lucian.

"Will the Dalca clan attend this festival?", asked Van Costel.

"Either, sir, because the envoy did not deliver any special news regarding the Dalca clan but we heard he has spread some spies in this Moldovan valley" said Antolin Lucian.

Suddenly Van Costel IV attacked Antolin Lucian by pointing his hand at the messenger.

"I never trusted the people around me... Maybe among those spies is you... Antolin Lucian" said Van Costel as he stared intently at Antolin Lucian.

"Master.", said Antolin Lucian staring coldly at Van Costel IV.

"Do you not understand that none of the members of the clan can trust me" Van Costel said with a sneer.

"It is only natural for you not to trust anyone among us clans but I have no reason to betray you, Mr. Van Costel", continued Antolin Lucian.

"There is no need for a reason to betray, Lucian, because anything can change without a compelling reason to do so" Van Costel said.

"By the name of the mightiest Zeus, I never thought to fight you, my esteemed master, for me power in the clan chair is not my ultimate goal" said Antolin Lucian.

Van Costel immediately laughed loudly when he heard the answer from Antolin Lucian who was very convincing.

Not for the envoy named Antolin Lucian because he did not understand the way his master thought at all.

The celebration of Samhain that took place in the Moldovan valley is still seen festive.

Attended by a number of clan leaders at the Samhain Festival to celebrate the happy feast.

It's just not for the Dalca clan of Wallachian descent, the Vlad V Clan, which is the main enemy of the Van Rogh Costel III clan.

They did not come at the welcoming ceremony of the ghostly resurrection of Van Costel IV even accidentally the noble family of Van Rogh Costel III did not invite the Vlad V clan to the event.

"Congratulations to you, Van Costel, for your resurrection from the dead and for eternal life" said one of the guests at the Samhain event.

"Klan Van Apostol ! I'm so flattered by your sympathetic words to me" Van Costel said, grinning sharply.

"I said it in the depths of my heart, Van Costel. And this is not just sympathy" said a man named Van Apostol III.

"This celebration makes the meeting between noble clans the best opportunity for us" said another guest.

"True Danut Mihai, this celebration is able to unite us from the thirteen noble clans but unfortunately Dalca is not present in this Samhain celebration", said the man dressed in a red suit dangling down the floor.

"Did you not tell her this good news, Ionatan?", asked a sweet-talked female guest with a well-proportioned curves.

"No, because I think he will find out soon without me telling him, Alexandra Vasilica", said Ionatan Ferdinand V.

"Not only the Dalca, but the Sahitis clan, the Geza clan and the Florentin clan are not seen here" said Alexandra Vasilica.

"Could they be affected by Dalca!?", asked Ionatan.

"I think they're taking care of something so important that they can't attend" replied a man in a butterfly tie in a red vest from the side.

"You are Demetri" said Vasilica. "You just came?" he continued.

"I just came from the Balkans, dear Vasilica", Demetri said.

"Don't talk carelessly, Demetri!" said Vasilica, turning her face the other way.

"How's Van Costel doing?", said a man named Demetri.

"As you can see, my news is very good, Demetri", said Van Costel.

"Thank God Costel because the news of your return is a breath of fresh air for all the clans" Demetri said.

"Hmmm... But I don't see that excitement from the other clans, Demetri.", said Van Costel.

"There is nothing more important than this, welcoming fellow clan members who have returned from the dead, is not an absolute requirement for all noble clans" Ionatan said.

"Do you know why they were not present at this celebration, Demetri?", asked Van Apostol.

"I also don't know why they don't attend this Samhain celebration and it's none of my business if they don't come because I don't have a special relationship with them" Demetri said.

"From Patra's previous wars between noble clans, have they not expressed blatant hostility!?" Vasilica said.

"We belong to the battle of Patra, Vasilica", Ionatan said.

"But we have made peace after all the clans agreed to agree that the Van Rogh Costel III Clan is in full power in Wallachia" Vasilica replied.

"What do you think Mazonn?", said Demetri.

"I have no special opinion, for the war of Patra passed twenty years ago" said Mazonn.

"Is Dalca really expressing hostility openly?", asked Danut.

"If this is true, it means that Dalca has violated the agreement that has been agreed by all the clan's predecessors" Ionatan said.

"I don't know the real reason for Dalca's refusal to overtly rule Van Rogh Costel III over Wallachia" Danut said.

"Maybe he was deliberately absent for that reason" Mazonn said.

"Or maybe he did not hear the news of the resurrection of Costel from the dead, no one knows about this" Ionatan said.

"Dalca has really violated the rules among the clans" Demetri said.

"Don't jump to conclusions because we don't know the truth about this" Danut said.

"Oh yes, Costel, how can you come back to life?", asked Van Apostol.

"Sorry, Van Apostol, about it is a secret in the family of Van Rogh Costel III", said Antolin Lucian who suddenly appeared from the meeting room.

"Lucian, you apparently.", said Vasilica.

"How are you all ? I hope you are well and may you like this celebration of Samhain", said Lucian.

"Thank you for your concern for all of us members of the clan, and we hope you are in as good a state as all of us" Mazonn said.

"There is no good news and your presence is the best news for us" Lucian replied.

"Alright, since everyone is present, how about we all celebrate this Samhain celebration with a bottle of refreshing wine" Ionatan said.

"Wine !? Did you bring it from the French interior?" said Demetri.

"Where is the interior in the country of France, Demetri !? Do not be too far-fetched and make up a false story", said Ionatan.

"It's a pity that I don't really like red wine, Ionatan" Demetri said.

"Well, I won't offer you this drink, I'm just toasting to welcome the return of Van Costel" Ionatan continued.

Demetri who heard the reply from Ionatan just smiled.

"Please prepare wine glasses for the guests", Antolin Lucian orders a male servant.

"Well Mr. Lucian", said the man's servant.

It is seen that the servant man of the Van Rogh Costel III family gave several glasses of wine to the other members of the clan.

"Please enjoy this special drink because I rarely bring special gifts and this is your chance to enjoy fresh wine" Ionatan said.

"Your words are too sweet, Ionatan" Vasilica said.

"Oh my dear, this is the best celebration for all of us ! Don't be cynical with me dear Vasilica", Ionatan said.

"Well, okay, Ionatan, for the sake of respecting Costel then I accept this invitation" said Vasilica.

"That's really good news for me and I hope you accept my date, dear Vasilica" Ionatan said.

"Don't dream too much, Ionatan" Vasilica said.

Ionatan poured a bottle of mixed red wine from Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Cabernet Franc (8%) Merlot (25%) and Petit Verdot (2%) into a wine glass owned by Vasilica.

"Watch my special wine, dear Vasilica", Ionatan said.

"Hmmm... Thank you" Alexandra Vasilica said, chugging a glass of wine in her hand.

Ionatan also handed out a bottle of red wine to the others in turns, he poured one by one the wine into the glasses of all the clan members.

"Where did you get this red wine from Ionatan?", asked Demetri, who seemed satisfied to taste a glass of wine.

"Do I need to tell you?", asked Ionatan.

"Tell you, then Ionatan and I will not force it", Demetri said.

"I got it in France, the plantation is located on a plateau west of the gravel-rich Chateau Beychevelle" Ionatan replied.

"You've just been there Ionatan" Mazonn said.

"Yes, Mazonn, I just got back from Chateau a few days ago" Ionatan replied.

"When we go together to Chateau Beychevelle if you want to go there, Ionatan" Mazonn said.

"It seems that you are very interested in going there, Mazonn", Ionatan said.

Mazonn simply smiled at Ionatan's remarks without extending talk of his plans to France again.
