Chapter 20: Laura and Yanirath
The empire is vast, and there are many differences in food from place to place, so various factions have gradually emerged (I always feel that the term cuisine is only suitable for my big foodie empire). Of all the genres, the most well-known and most recognizable is the royal style of its own.
Specifically, the combination of warm and cold tones, such as the finest veal steak fried just right, supplemented by freshly squeezed seasonal fruit and vegetable juices; Or a white and elegant mushroom soup with a brightly colored gratin.
As for table manners, there are rules and regulations for serious occasions, and the relaxed atmosphere will be relaxed accordingly, such as Elphen's private banquet for guests.
The long-lost royal style meal made Li En feel more cordial, and the picture in the depths of his memory resurfaced.
"Lane, you remember, gratin is a very difficult technique to control the temperature, and the error will affect the taste for a while. Of course, the differences between the ovens also need to be mindful."
Master Werner placed a row of chicken wings wrapped in tin foil into the oven and turned to Riene, who had just turned ten
"Young master, using a good knife and fork is the foundation of table manners, and there are many other things to pay attention to"
The Perkins butler stood aside, meticulously instructing Lane and Elyse on table manners
Is it timidity or thinking about things?
Li En subconsciously sat upright, lightly picked up the knife and fork, and carefully cut the steak. With the right amount of force, the right amount of force, the silver knife cuts the moment before it touches the plate.
Slowly hold up the goblet and take a sip of orange juice.
The whole set of actions looks like it is done in one go, pleasing to the eye, and there is no mud and water.
It's not a social disguise, but a state of natural inaction. Born from the heart, Li En, whose every move is in line with the method of "non-action", reveals a different sense of beauty.
Unfortunately, before anyone could notice his posture, he was interrupted by the sound of sudden footstepsβa heroic girl with an awe-inspiring posture came to this secluded garden.
"Ah-la, Miss Laura." The person who came, Alfen, naturally knew each other and nodded in greeting.
"Your Highness the Princess?" Laura paused and bowed, still the standard knightly salute.
"Didn't you come to my brother's dinner? How did it end up here? Elphine clapped her hands slightly, "Did you come to visit me?" It's a real pleasure. β
"No, I didn't know His Highness was here before I came, I just came to visit a friend." Laura turned her gaze to the black-haired boy sitting in the guest seat, seeing that he looked good and there were no obvious signs of trauma, a hanging heart was slightly lowered, "Lane, long time no see, and so is Miss Lixia." β
"Long time no see, Laura." When old friends are reunited, Rien smiles happily, and Lixia also gets up to greet him.
"Mr. Lane and Miss Laura are old acquaintances?" Elfinn's curious gaze wandered between the two.
"yes, we've known each other for a long time." Dawn was in a slight trance. According to the first time I met Laura, it has been almost four years, and the immature girl has grown into the slim girl she is now.
"We are close friends who have sharpened each other in kendo and made progress together." Laura's answer was as serious as ever.
"Ah, the boys of the North and the girls of the South have written a story about swords, and now, Mr. Lane, write your story into a novel, it will definitely be popular." Elfin's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky. It also made Rien sure again that she was definitely Olivier's sister and didn't run away, this kind of self-absorption, no one taught it except that big scumbag.
"I'll write later, but not now. We both have big goals, so let's look back on this time together when we all get what we want. Laura, I'm looking forward to writing a biography for you just as I did with The Lion Battle. β
"Hmm!" Laura nodded heavily, her awe-inspiring figure could not be diluted even in a dress.
"Lane, I heard from His Highness Oliebat, you are injured?" Laura finally asked the question she was most concerned about.
O'gua, you wait for me! If you do the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth! Hearing Laura say this, how could Lane not understand what was going on? gritted his teeth in his heart, but his face remained silent.
"I encountered something in Liber some time ago, and I can't use my internal strength for the time being, so it's not in my way."
"This is no small matter!" Laura's face changed.
"My own body, I have my own number." Rien waved his hand, "Moreover, Senior Brother Cassius has also helped me diagnose, don't worry." β
"The judgment of the Sword Master is indeed very reliable, but just in case, I would like to ask my father to help you take a look at it again." Laura thought for a moment and said in a tone that could not be refused.
"I can't ask for it. Then again, the first time I saw you in a dress, it was beautiful. In order to stop worrying Laura, Lane changed the subject, and it must be admitted that Laura, who was dressed in a pure white dress, was beautiful and refined.
"Thank you." Laura was praised many times tonight, but only Lien's praise made her the happiest, "But this kind of dress is not convenient at all, I don't think I will wear it in the future." β
"I knew you would say that." Lane laughed. Laura hasn't changed, it's good.
Things are people, only to increase sadness, things are people, and the rest is the joy of reunion
"Well, I can't eat it, but it's really delicious, and I want to eat a little more, are you?" Yanirath, who had been silent, patted her round little belly and let out a cute hum. Since dinner, she has devoted herself wholeheartedly to the glorious and great cause of eating, and it is only now that she has discovered that there is actually someone else around her?
"This is Laura M. S. Yarsid, I mentioned it to you. This is Yaniras Elfield, the granddaughter of Teacher Yun. β
"Ah, you're Miss Laura, who Lane has always been obsessed with." Yanira bounced off her chair.
Elfin's eyes flashed, and he automatically entered onlooker mode.
Lixia gave Rien a blank look and took the initiative to enter onlooker mode.
Lai En's face was strange, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to passively enter the onlooker mode.
"Well, I'm Laura." Laura nodded and graciously admitted, "I've always had Rien in mind, too. β
"I've heard Lane mention it, your father is the famous "Sword Maker of Light", right, said to be comparable to my grandfather?" Yaniras jumped up to Laura, excited, excited.
"Yes, I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Yun 4 years ago, and I benefited a lot from his guidance. At that time, due to lack of cultivation, I didn't have the opportunity to meet my father and Teacher Yun's competition, and I always felt that it was a pity. β
"Hmm, I really want to see it." Yaniras blinked with a pair of big eyes, not hiding her longing.
"Well, I'd love to see it." Laura feels the same way.
"Is it okay to call you Laura? I feel like we can be good friends, just like we did with Estelle. β
"Okay."
"Hehe, then call me Yani, that's what Rie calls me." Yani tilted her head and giggled.
"Hmm." Another person was attacked by the cuteness of the cute master.
The two girls glanced at each other, and a feeling of like-mindedness and sympathy arose.
("Huh? "Elphin has assumed all kinds of possibilities, such as the two daughters fighting for their husbands, the Three Kingdoms War, and the good ship with firewood knives, but I didn't expect this kind of completely incomprehensible god to unfold. οΌ
(Lixia was a little embarrassed, and when Yaniras said that ambiguous sentence, she couldn't help but think crookedly, but she didn't expect that the person who asked and the person who answered didn't mean that at all.) οΌ
("I knew it.") Lane sighed, Yani has no common sense, Laura is not familiar with the world, and she is a natural pair. Listen to them, you can only listen to the literal meaning, and don't expect the extended meaning. οΌ
What do the people in the onlooker mode think, the two beautiful girl swordsmen naturally don't care, they are chatting happily.
"Estelle?" Laura notices an unfamiliar name.
"It's a good friend I met in Liberal, and he often spars with me." Yani's eyes lit up, "By the way, Laura, you look very strong, please try it with me." β
"That's exactly what I was looking forward to." Laura smiled a pure smile that belonged to a warrior.
Who would have thought that in the next second, she stepped on the skirt and threw herself forward.
"Laura!"
"Yani!"
The scene was chaotic
Well, it looks like it won't be able to fight for a while.
