Chapter 206 The Maniac (Medium)
The grand commemoration, which lasted for many days, finally came to an end with the bells of St. Peter's Basilica at sunset, and the last day of the dinner was held in the Hall of the Nations. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Different layout from the sacrificial dinner, the last banquet was set up quite retro and even a bit primitive. In the middle of the spacious Hall of All Nations is a huge square dome with a raging flame burning inside. Seventy or eighty meters away from Fangding, there is a circle of tables and chairs on it, on which are placed all kinds of delicacies and seasonal fruits. The location directly opposite the main entrance of the Hall of the Ten Thousand Parliaments is, of course, the throne of the crown prince, the heir of the empire. The rest of the people are seated in the order of the elder and the youngest, the main and the guest.
The banquet officially began. Light music flows slowly from the fingers of the musicians, and the performers sing and dance around the flames, releasing their energy to the fullest. Merchants, nobles, and politicians sat around the long round table and ate and chatted about their interests. Some important contractual agreements are beginning to take shape.
The prince used a knife and fork to cut a roasted onion drizzled with delicious tomato sauce in front of him into small pieces, inserted a piece and put it in his mouth, spicy and sweet, and the prince ate it to tears. LaBelle hurriedly handed over the tissue, the prince blew his nose, and then pushed the onion to the mutation, and LaBelle handed over a plate of mushroom roast chicken. The prince was bored with a knife and fork poking at the roast chicken, and a pair of eyes searched the performers' procession. He remembered that there was a burlesque in which there was a very beautiful actress named Apple, who played a mermaid princess in distress in the burlesque. The prince clearly remembered her slender fish-scale hands, as if they were real!
The prince cut off a piece of fat chicken breast, dipped it in the caviar next to it, and threw it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously, but he thought to himself about the beautiful body of Apur moaning under him. The more the prince thought about it, the more excited he became, and the taste of the caviar became weaker and weaker as he chewed, until in the end only the fibers of the chicken breast remained. The prince spat on the ground, then picked up the red wine and drank a large glass. He threw down his knife and fork, leaned on the throne very relaxedly, and looked left and right, his mother was chatting excitedly with Barnard's Fitley, and his grandfather on the right was talking to his distant relative, Upston. The prince straightened up and looked around the long round table, as if all the people seemed very excited and happy, but he was left out in the cold.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" said LaBelle in a low voice.
The crown prince was already very anxious in his heart, and when he thought of his dignified prince and heir to the empire, there was only an old and fat dead eunuch left by his side, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of displeasure.
LaBelle observed that the prince's face suddenly became unhappy, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I went backstage just now to take a look, there is a very interesting person, do you want to go and have a look?"
"Who?" replied the prince angrily, still searching for the appel in the performance venue.
"It's a man with a pair of fish scales!"
"Oh?" When the prince heard the three words "fish scales", his heart suddenly burst into anger, and he turned around and grabbed LaBelle by the collar and asked, "What's your name?"
"It seems to be called Apple, and in the dressing room of the burlesque performance backstage, he ......" Before LaBelle could finish speaking, the prince jumped up suddenly, greeted the queen, who was chatting vigorously with the Grand Duke of Fitley, and pulled LaBelle out of the banquet. The queen watched the prince disappear into the crowd inexplicably, quietly pulled her hand out of Fitley's fat big hand, took a sip of the wine glass, and continued to laugh and chat with him.
The prince couldn't wait to come to the dressing room of Crowle's burlesque troupe, which was said to be a dressing room, but in fact it was just a small shed made of a tent. The narrow shed was crowded with all sorts of deformed people, and the foul air was filled with the smell of gold coins and the strange laughter. Crowle, the owner of the burlesque troupe, was sitting in his chair at this time, counting the harvest of the past few days, ten fingers jumping on the calculator, eating a sandwich with roast pork from time to time, and talking to Applee next to him with a mutter:
"I said, Apple, what happened to you and that lady last night, she seemed to be a little unhappy, there are dozens of gold coins sent today, what is the situation?" If it was usual, Claure would have taken a whip and started whipping him, but today is different, these dozens of gold coins are already a drop in the bucket for him, so Crow was not angry when he said this.
Applee didn't wear makeup, because there was no performance for him today, but he still habitually sat in his seat and combed his long hair. Apple's brows furrowed, and he said a little sluggishly: "Oh, boss, you don't know, that woman, tsk, is as fat as a pig, and I have no desire at first glance." But she still doesn't like me to use my fingers, and she can't use my tongue. But I can't get it up, and besides, she's so fat, and so deep there, I'm ashamed of myself!Oh, my God, why don't you let me go to Trena?" he said in an exaggerated tone, and the people who were dressed up next to him laughed, except for Trena, waving her thick arms, and smacking Apur on the back of the head a few times. Applel clutched his head and smiled wryly.
"Well, forget it," Claure stood up cheerfully as he counted the number of his daily gold coins, "I won't pursue it, but you have to serve the ladies in the back!" As he spoke, he escaped from his pocket and threw a few gold coins to him, "Buy some supplements to make up for it, and seize the last two days to make those hungry nobles cooler than grass!" Crow laughed and walked outside the tent.
"Gotta do it!"
Crowle walked through the noisy and messy shed with a bright smug face, scolding along the way: "Labussy, take your dirty feet away." Noir, how many times have I said that this is the palace, don't make yourself feel like you're in a pigsty. And you, Kosira, your hair, your clothes, oh my God, change them out. Bujie, what the hell do you want to do, didn't I tell you, Scorpio grass is poisonous and can't be put here. Don't laugh at others, Romma, it's your turn to play, is your makeup done, grinding and chirping. I don't know what you've been doing all day, my God, St. Peter, bless these poor and hateful deformities!" Claure chattered, but did not stop, until he reached the door of the tent, reached for the curtain, and the curtain opened by itself, and a fat old man with oily hair and a pink face walked in. Crowle habitually just wanted to scold a few words, this is the backstage, and outsiders are not allowed to enter casually. When the words came to his lips, Claure seemed to be choked by something, his eyes widened, and he stood on the spot, his face purple and red. The outstretched hand stopped in mid-air and trembled. "Too much, too much, too ......"
LaBelle led the prince to the tent of the deformed troupe under the astonished and awe-inspiring gaze of the backstage troupe, and at the door he heard an ugly nagging voice cursing all kinds of swear words. LaBelle lifted the curtain of the tent and looked left and right, his eyes falling on the troupe owner who had become a statue standing directly in front of him. LaBelle sneered, this guy was probably stupid by the prince's sudden visit, so he took out a heavy bag of gold coins from his pocket and handed it to the hand he stretched out to himself. "Where's Apple?"
The troupe, which had been chattering and noisy for a moment, fell silent for a moment, except for the shrill voice of LaBelle echoing in the tent for a few seconds before falling silent, followed by a series of swallowing sounds. Everyone forgot about the work in their hands and stayed where they were, more frightened than surprised. They could never have imagined that the most powerful heir to the empire would come to their tent.
"I'm here!" Apple, who has seen a lot of big scenes, of course, is mostly in bed, he knows how to deal with these rich nobles, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be no exception. He calmly walked over from a small dresser behind the tent, and the performers made a way one after another, giving Applee a sense of dignity in an instant. As a matter of course, Applee enjoyed this kind of treatment that even the boss Clauer had not enjoyed, and walked up to LaBelle and the prince gracefully, "Your Highness, my lord, the slave is Apple!" As he spoke, Applee performed a standard court court.
As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked into this small tent that emitted all kinds of strange foul smells, the whole person was not good. He endured the disgust in his heart, and he had become accustomed to the awe-inspiring and curious gaze of others, and he stood there silently, watching as Apple's approach came to him. The prince motioned for him to get up, "Raise your head, I'll take a look!" Apple's long eyelashes that had just been installed blinked and looked at the prince's slightly immature face with a flattering smile, thinking to himself could it be that the prince liked that tune?
"Are you the mermaid princess from yesterday?" asked the prince, confused.
Apple's soft smile and stretched out his hands covered with strange fish scales, these fingers were long, no wonder countless noble ladies who had lived in the boudoir for a long time couldn't let go. The prince's deep fingers touched the fish scales on the back of Apple's hand, and it felt a little slippery and cold. "Is this true?" Apple's nodded, "Your Highness, I've had this kind of thing on my hands since I was a child!"
"Can you dress up as a mermaid princess?"
