As Lily expected, it didn't take long for the leader of the Self-Defense Forces to return. After saying that, Viscount Ginoa magnanimously ignored the cliché of hoping that the naughty boy was inferior and self-behaved, and walked away with his subordinates.

Not long after the SDF group left, Fabian's mother, Viscountess Bernand, appeared in the town hall in full force, accompanied by the two heroic knights, Semuel and Timol.

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, the viscountess invited Lily to a banquet at the house, fulfilling the friendship of the landlord.

Unable to resist Viscountess Bernande's gracious invitation, Lily and the four went to the Viscountess's mansion for a dinner party and stayed overnight so that they could return to Port Moussey tomorrow.

The group returned to the mansion, and the viscountess arranged rooms for each of them. Jacques went back to his room and rested for a while, when a servant came to inform him that the dinner was ready.

At Fat Orange's strong request, Jacques had no choice but to take Fat Orange to the dinner.

The maid who led the way for him flashed with surprise when she saw Jacques still wearing the blue uniform of the academy, with a chubby orange cat squatting on her shoulder.

The maid was about the same age as Lily, eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a black skirt and a white gown, with her hair held in place by a hairnet and a black and white lace headband, with a smile on her face, and walked briskly behind Jacques, occasionally giving him directions.

When Jacques arrived at Fabian's restaurant, he discovered for the first time that the meals of the nobles and the meals of the commoners were two completely different things.

In the center of the room is a large long table with six chairs on each side. On the table was a white tablecloth, on which were placed three sets of candlesticks, each of which was carved a girl dressed in a different face, with her hands raised above her head, holding a disc-shaped candle holder, each group of four maidens, twelve white candles reflecting the huge round gas chandelier on top of the long table.

The chandelier is shaped like five large snakes that open their mouths and spit out snake letters in five directions, but on the snake's body suddenly gives birth to a pair of bird wings, the bird wings are as strong as eagle wings, and the feathers are long and narrow. The two adjacent wings are slightly connected, and the upper row of five lampshades is mounted on the wings, and the lower row is also five gas lampshades, which are contained in the protruding snake letter. The intricately carved chandelier made Jacques hard to believe that the old gas lamp in his house was the same thing as this chandelier.

On the table, 12 sets of cutlery were neatly placed, three layers of porcelain plates, two different glasses of different sizes, and two spoons with one knife and one fork. The dark red chairs, the red-patterned cashmere carpet, and the rectangular room with a fireplace at each end of the room, which was still burning on this southern March day in the spring, made Jacques feel hot as he walked through the door and wanted to take off his coat.

The maid cleverly prompts Jacques to take off his coat, so Fat Orange reluctantly jumps to the ground and tells Jacques to take off his blue coat, revealing his shirt, which has turned slightly yellow. The maid led Jacques to the far left of the row by the door.

In each of the four corners of the room stood a waiter in a black suit, white shirt and bow tie. The waiter closest to Jacques' seat stepped forward, dragged Jacques out of his chair, and motioned for him to take a seat. As soon as Jacques sat down, the waiter brought another upholstered stool from somewhere, and placed it beside Jacques, and Fat Orange jumped on the stool and sank comfortably into the cushion.

Jacques, who was the first to arrive at the restaurant, took his seat and continued to observe the restaurant's décor.

Behind the main seat facing the main door should be two large glass windows, but the crimson curtains have been drawn by this time. On the wall between the two windows hangs a huge portrait of the Viscount's family. However, Fabian was still very young at the time of the painting, sitting on his mother's lap on his short legs, and the Viscountess in his arms sat in the center, and on the left and right was a black-haired boy, the older of twelve or thirteen years old, with a serious expression, and the younger one looked less than ten years old and had a bright smile. Viscount Bernand stood at the end, tall and straight, with out-of-place blonde hair. The viscounts' appearance was not much different from what they are now, and Jacques even thought that the serious viscount in the portrait looked older than he was now. However, according to the law that the stronger the strength of the transcendent, the slower the aging, Jacques believes that the two of them will not change much in ten years.

"This was painted by the master when David entered the academy, and Fabian has been clamoring to redraw it since he woke up, because Koyatl has been in the Misty Forest recently, so it has not been painted. However, Koyatl has returned, and the little one is about to get his wish. The viscountess said in a clear voice behind Jacques.

Jacques looked back and saw the Viscountess and her two sisters, as well as Lily, Alyssia, and Emma, six women entering the dining room one after another.

Each of them wore a crinolin skirt with a fluffy hem and a low-cut waist, long gloves and a shawl. Six sets of dresses of different colors are like six different flowers, blooming in the restaurant. Jacques finally figured out why the maid was surprised when she saw his clothes, and she had to dress like a ball for a meal!

Emma picked up her skirt, walked quickly to Jacques's side, spun around, and asked, "Brother Jacques, am I beautiful in this dress!"

Jacques looked at Emma, the white gauze shawl, the neckline of the skirt was still white lace, the color gradually deepened from top to bottom, from light pink, peach pink, begonia red to the time close to the ground was already rose, the color gradually became so natural, Jacques of course couldn't figure out how to dye it, and finally praised it with great difficulty: "It's beautiful! like a trumpet flower." ”

With that, a room full of ladies let out a silver bell-like laugh, causing Emma to pout, reluctantly sit down beside him.

The gentlemen were also quickly seated, all dressed in formal attire. Men and women sat side by side, and in addition to Fabian's two older brothers, there was also a balding middle-aged man with a big belly, the mayor of Bodham, the parent of Kalange.

After taking the seat, the Viscountess introduced everyone, and Jacques also got to know Fabian's two elder brothers, David and Koyatel, who resembled Viscount Bernand in appearance and figure except for their black hair, Fabian was completely different from them, and looked more like his mother.

The waiter poured red wine for everyone, Fabian stretched out his nose and sniffed the wine glass vigorously, confirmed that it was red wine, and winked at Jacques opposite, with a smug expression that almost put the words "Gentlemen can finally drink today" on his face.

The Mayor of Bodham, seated next to the Viscountess, was the first to toast his host and delivered a long toast in which he repeatedly praised Lily for her bravery, beauty, tenacity, and intelligence......

Fabian, who sat one seat away from him, was eager to drink with a wine glass, and the female knight Semuel kept making faces at the mayor, making Jacques and Lily almost laugh at the other side.

"Cheers!"

Fabian, who had finally waited for this, drank all the red wine in his glass!
