When Elbert, the titular future lord of the Empire, entered with his sister Cynthia, there was a moment of silence in the bustling ballroom, followed by applause and cheers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Standing in the middle of the banquet hall, Elbert looked around the distinguished guests with a proper smile as Cynthia had asked, showing his kindness to every noble man and woman who looked at him.

Of course, he understood that the vast majority of the nobles attending the banquet today were not his supporters. They come to this feast with the intention of not refusing, or watching, or spying, and by the way, they can also contact information to discuss some ulterior secrets.

But none of that matters!

What Elbert needs to do is to show his courage and demeanor at this banquet, win over the wait-and-see faction, show favor to supporters, and by the way, let the opposition evaluate his strength.

Elbert pressed his hand and the applause stopped as he thought. This is the embodiment of the name and the instrument, and although Albert has no real power in the city of St. Cale, as long as he is the crown prince one day, these nobles with different hearts have to show him the necessary respect.

What's more, this banquet is still an imperial tradition, and even an ambitious person like Prince Mayfield would not dare to make foolish acts of self-isolation from the world.

"Guys, this winter has been extra cold for me and for the entire Empire. My father, His Majesty the Great Emperor of the San Lorenzo Empire, has sadly passed away a few days ago. It stands to reason that as a son of man, I should not have appeared on such a lively occasion. But the imperial tradition, as the heir of the empire, I must assume my responsibility and hold a banquet according to the tradition!"

Elbert recited according to the handwritten text provided by Cynthia in advance, and the short three-minute speech vividly demonstrated the grace and power of the successor. When he finished speaking, both the supporters and the centrists, led by Lawrence, and even the opposition had to applaud his wonderful speech.

Then Elbert raised his hand behind him, and the court musicians, who had already prepared it, played a beautiful melody.

Unlike Erosa's enthusiastic playing style, the San Lorenzo Empire admired the flamboyant style of the South, and when the melodious sound of the piano sounded, Elbert bent down and stretched out his hand to Cynthia and began to lead the dance according to custom.

The aristocrats beat to the music, accompaniment to the future lord of the empire. The first repertoire of the banquet was led by the person of the highest status, which became an unwritten agreement at the banquet. Elbert wanted to invite Vivien Leigh to dance, but Cynthia's series of warm support made him unable to leave his sister behind.

Charlotte, Claire and Vivien Leigh stood in the corner of the aristocratic circle, and it stands to reason that as brother and sister, they are definitely one of the stormy figures of this banquet. Regrettably, however, they did not wear ceremonial dresses and were not at all interested in such a pompous feast, so the three of them joined forces and beat the beat in the corner, each with a glass of wine.

As for Brent, this playboy had hooked up with a noble lady with long aqua blue hair early in the morning, and at the moment she was hugging each other's waists and whispering sweet love words in Charlotte's eyes.

The three of them were sipping fine wine while chatting and gossiping to the beat. But I saw that a few young people among the nobles came out of the crowd, and judging from the attitude of the nobles who were pushed away, they should be quite powerful.

One of the pale young men sneered at his companion as he walked to the food section, "Did you see Elbert dancing like that? To be honest, it's enough to give the nobles a point, and Cynthia will need to guide the slightly more complicated dance steps." ”

"I suspect that the speech was written by Cynthia as well, and I don't believe that the elm heads of the mages could write such a speech!" replied another short, stocky young man with greasy beads of sweat on his pale face, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

At this moment, the three Charlottes were standing on the periphery of the food area, and when they heard the rude speeches of these young aristocrats, Fei Wenli couldn't help but snort coldly.

The few people who were talking immediately stopped talking, perhaps even they didn't expect that there would be other nobles who would come here to talk while the crown prince was leading the dance.

The tall and thin aristocratic young man who began to speak looked at the three of them carefully for a while, although the three of Charlotte were dressed in accordance with etiquette, but they were excellent in terms of material. In addition, the people who could be invited to the banquet were all nobles with heads and faces in the empire, although the three of them were very raw, but after careful consideration for a while, the thin and tall young man really didn't dare to be as provocative as before.

But the short and fat young man didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and when he saw the three of Charlotte, he said to his companion in a strange manner, "I really hope that His Highness Elbert can put more effort into the court dance, otherwise I'm really worried that some of the dirt buns from the north will really think that the nobles of St. Calle are on the same level as them!"

The faces of the other nobles changed, and they immediately knew that they had guessed the identities of several people from the words of the short and fat young man.

The aristocratic young men from the north, a combination of two men and one woman, are undoubtedly the only ones who are rumored to be Charlotte, Earl of Winterhold, Vivien Leigh, the silver dragon princess, and Claire, the landless baron.

Someone tugged at the sleeve of the short and fat young man, signaling him not to cause trouble.

To put it bluntly, Charlotte and others seem to be inferior to Elbert, but when it comes to real power, there is a world of difference. One is the crown prince, who has no real power other than a title, and the other is the future ruler of the northern realm in the truest sense of the word. As long as you have a little brain, you know who is more difficult to provoke.

But the short and fat young man shook off his companion's hand as if he had knocked a few pounds of marijuana, and said sarcastically, "Isn't it?

"Hah! After all, I've been dealing with barbarians on the northern border for a long time, and maybe I've been assimilated unconsciously! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, heroes, I was rude!"

The pudgy young man pretended to bow, and that grinning face was even more hateful than Charlotte's mocking face!

Fei Wenli couldn't bear it anymore, and poured the wine she was holding on to the young man who bowed his head.

The red wine flowed down the latter's thinning hair to the collar, and the short and fat young man who looked up wiped the red wine from his face, his face full of surprise. He pointed to Vivien Leigh's nose, unable to speak for a long time because of Vivien Leigh's unexpected behavior.

Unlike Erosa, it was not uncommon for nobles to fight even at royal banquets, but in San Lorenzo, too direct was considered rude.

Therefore, seeing Fei Wen Lei's sudden drunkenness, the companion next to the short and fat young man who originally wanted to calm down suddenly showed indignation, and Charlotte and Claire stood in front of Fei Wen Li silently, and the tense atmosphere between the two sides was evident at a glance.

I heard Fei Wenli say with a rare cold face, "Maybe your mother died early and failed to teach you the proper etiquette of receiving people and things! But it doesn't matter, fortunately, I can help you learn this lesson on her behalf!"

Charlotte glanced back at Vivien Leigh in surprise and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He really didn't expect that the always cute Fei Wenli could say such sharp words.

As for the short and fat young man, he was stunned, and when he realized the meaning of Fei Wenli's words, his whole face turned pale with anger!
