Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Brief Sentence

At night, the lights of the Luxury Hotel in Lebor are brightly lit.

In front of the hotel, there are all kinds of luxury carriages, both six-wheeled and four-wheeled, and the carriages outside the gate are still coming.

The mayor accompanied Eugen at the door of the hotel to welcome the guests from afar, most of whom he did not know and needed to be introduced by the mayor.

Every guest walked in with a smile on their face, and the servants behind him carried large bags of gifts and prepared a lot of beautiful words to congratulate Eugen on becoming an earl.

But what is going on in their hearts, only they know.

Eugen took the gifts and handed them to the servant behind him. In the face of those guests, he only had three words: "Welcome, welcome, thank you, thank you, please come in." ”

These three sentences went back and forth, and he didn't want to say any more of the other words. As for the names of the guests, most of them were long and awkward, and Eugen didn't remember a few at all.

Since most of the people who came to the banquet were not of the same status as Eugen, it was not rude for him to do so.

There were only a few guests who came, and because of the family status, Eugen deliberately took care to remember it.

For example, a white and chubby-looking Viscount Pigard, the mayor deliberately emphasized that this person was the representative of the Wittelsbach family in the Leyber area, and there were many members of the Wittelsbach family in the local area, and almost all of them obeyed this Viscount Pigard.

There was also a tall, bearded middle-aged man with fierce eyes and a name named Tariq Vetina, who was the leader of the Vetina family. The House of Vetina was a warrior, and the people of Saxony were fierce and belligerent, and Eugen was impressed by the fierceness of Tariq.

There was also an old man with a kind smile on his face, and when he greeted Eugen, Eugen helped him to think that he was a wealthy local merchant. Under the introduction of the mayor, Eugen learned that this person was an important figure in the Welf family---- Bud Welf, and the power behind him was also quite powerful.

Eugen remembered only these few people, and most of the other nobles who arrived were led by these three people.

That's all the Mayor can tell Eugen, and his long tenure here has been based on the principle of 'don't ask, don't intervene', and it is this attitude that has enabled him to keep the peace here for a long time.

Therefore, he did not know much about the relationship between those nobles, and he could not tell Eugen anything.

After Eugen learned about these situations, he naturally had some doubts in his heart. The most surprising thing for him was that the Hohenzollerns, whose power was second only to Habsburg, did not send anyone, not even a representative to congratulate him.

Now he only knows the representatives of the three noble families, but he doesn't know much about the relationship between them.

Looking at the nobles coming in and out, Eugen thought to himself: "If what the waiter said is true, it can give me some help, but why haven't I seen him come yet?" ”

It was almost six o'clock, but there was no sign of Parma nearby.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come. I don't know that although the relationship between the three families will be more passive, it is impossible to really stop me. With that in mind, Eugen turned and walked towards the hotel.

"Mr. Eugen......" Just as Eugen turned around, the waiter Parma finally appeared from the end of the street and ran quickly towards Eugen.

Looking back at Parma, Eugen had a smile on his face, this young man dared to come, it means that he should have some real skills.

"Mr. Eugen, I'm here." Parma didn't stop until he ran in front of Eugen, and it was obvious that he had been running all the way to his sweating profusely.

Eugen smiled and patted Parma on the shoulder, Parma was relatively small, and other colleagues liked to pat him on the shoulder when he was a waiter, which always annoyed him. But at this moment, Eugen patted him on the shoulder, but it made him feel flattered.

"Come on, let's go, come in with me and see what you can do for me?" Eugen spoke, then turned and walked back to the hotel.

He wouldn't ask Parma how he was preparing or why he was late, the only thing Eugen valued was Parma's ability.

Parma agreed, and followed Eugen into the hall with his head bowed.

The lobby, second and third floors of the hotel have been cleaned up and turned into banquet venues. The long hardwood table is covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and the table is adorned with silver candlesticks and plates of flowers and fruits.

Eugen entered the hall and walked through the crowd to the high platform at the very bottom of the hall. As the host of the banquet, he has to say something in this position, and then the banquet will officially begin.

"Alas, I'm a low-key person, and this boring ritual is really annoying." Muttering quietly, Eugen stood on the high platform and turned to face the full house.

Looking down from the high platform, the mayor stood to his left and the attendant Parma stood to the lower right. Margaret was standing across from him, toasting him with a goblet in her hand.

Without Eugen doing anything, everyone's eyes converged on him, and the scene fell silent without any noise.

Whether Eugen wanted it or not, everyone was waiting for him to speak, and it was a moment of great anticipation. He is the main character, and everyone else is his audience.

"Ahem, ahem." Eugen coughed lightly, and a kind and majestic smile appeared on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, hello. Let me say a few words, I am the new lord of Lebour, I am Eugen Habsburg, and I am also Count Eugen. Ahem...... Thank you all for coming, please enjoy. ”

After saying a few words, Eugen closed his mouth and smiled at the people below.

The nobles in the hall were still waiting for Eugen's next words, and the scene was rather awkwardly silent for three seconds before someone realized that Eugen had finished speaking, and hurriedly applauded vigorously.

Afterwards, the applause was thunderous, except that the clappers had a strange expression on their faces, as if surprised by the brevity of the congratulatory message.

Eugen smiled at everyone with a look of indifference, and walked straight off the stage. Whether at the royal banquet or at the banquet in Kasselburg, he was such an informal picture.

Now that it's your own banquet, you can do whatever you want, and it's not up to you to decide what you want to say.

After hearing Eugen's brief congratulatory message, the representatives of the major families standing in the audience had many different ideas.

"Hmph, this guy is really arrogant, is such a short congratulatory message looking down on us?" Viscount Tariq Vetina glared at Eugen on the stage, clearly dissatisfied with Eugen's performance.
