If the biggest difference between the cuisine of West Sacland, especially the imperial capital of Golovin, and the rest of the empire, is that it never skimps on expensive ingredients in the selection of ingredients, even to the point of extreme luxury.

Cod, caviar, foie gras, truffles...... West Sackland, which sits on the River of Jewels and has the most prosperous and most numerous trade routes, is very different from East Sackland.

It is also because of the extreme desire for poverty and luxury that the chefs and tailors of the imperial capital also enjoy a very high status, and the chefs who are skilled in cooking are often important members of a family, with a status comparable to that of a family manager.

And many royal palaces in the imperial capital are exactly like this - for example, the head chef of the summer twilight courtyard, the ancestor was once the court chef of the tenth generation of the dragon queen Charlotte de Salion, and his existence also made the taste of the summer twilight courtyard stay forever a hundred years ago, and it retains the unique style of the Empress Charlotte herself like this courtyard.

Her Majesty, a lover of art, was as strict with her food as she was with the decoration of her palace, forever fixing the taste at summer twilight.

a creamy compote cake with freshly squeezed apple juice, which is both a dessert and an excellent appetizer;

The pleasant fragrance of Byrne's sweet wine, which is the love of Queen Charlotte - bright color and rich aroma, the wine glass gently shaken by the fingertips, the fragrance of rose and lychee overflows the tip of the nose;

Although to this day almost every principality in the empire has a certain number of vineyards, to the nobles of the imperial capital, only the wines of the Duchy of Byrne can be called the top, and they are as unrivaled in the Sakrand Empire as the knights of Byrne.

With onions and sliced smoked pork as the main ingredient, served with fresh cream and cherry tomatoes, and finished with shortbread with figs, feta cheese and herbs, it tastes like a lunch time in the shade;

Of course, there is no shortage of precious ingredients in West Sacraland's meals – the foie gras stuffed with black truffle, accompanied by the best Sacraland's homegrown dry red, which is very delicious.

Foie gras and pigeon come from royal estates outside the imperial capital, dry red is native to East Sackland, and black truffles are a natural delicacy unique to Lothair.

Finally, a vanilla cake is served as an after-dinner dessert, served with a little cheese and apple slices.

If Loren were to make a comment, the food in the Summer Twilight Courtyard was very much in line with a little girl's standard - cute, not much, delicate and full of fragrance, very idyllic picnic style, and it tasted great.

Well, from the two points of "cuteness" and "fragrance", you can also see what the aesthetics of the dragon queen Charlotte are like.

Especially the first one...... The chefs at the Summer Twilight Courtyard treat almost every dish as a work of art, and the simple shortbread and baked flour alone need to be sifted to the point of being delicate enough to ensure that the taste of figs and feta cheese is not abrupt.

A simple vanilla cake in which the head chef, who was at least sixty years old, bent his head for two quarters of an hour to set two petals and a dash of jam.

Even the Bellini family, one of the most elite Ebolden families, has never had such a refined cuisine – it's not a delicacy anymore, it's a work of art.

.......................................

"So... What the hell is going on?"

The black-haired wizard, who was content to put down his knife and fork, tried not to look at Brandon's red nose and a pair of bruised purple and black panda eyes:

"Huh?" His Royal Highness the Prince, who was holding the wine glass, didn't seem to notice the strangeness in Loren's eyes, and was still pretending to be stupid.

"You specially asked me to come back, not just to treat me to a meal, right?"

"Why not, the dinner in the summer twilight courtyard is very famous in the imperial capital... Classic 10th generation style, Golovin delicious. The red-haired boy blinked and put the pigeon meat on the fork into his mouth: "If I hadn't come, you wouldn't have eaten it." ”

"And ......," Loren deliberately dragged out.

"Considering that a wizard advisor managed to win the royal trial, I think you should be treated a little. Brandon still had a polite smirk on his face.

"And then ......"

"It's been a long time since I've eaten here, so I'm nostalgic. His Royal Highness shrugged his shoulders: "You know... I have spent most of the last few years traveling in various principalities. ”

"And then ......"

"Sister-in-law Fitronay doesn't want to see me lately, and I don't really want to see my father's dead face. The red-haired boy's expression became more and more flattering: "So... Don't you remember you're still here?"

"Then ......" The dark-haired wizard's expression became more and more subtle.

"You're not going to let me go, are you?" Brandon rolled his eyes.

Shrugging his shoulders, the black-haired wizard who picked up his glass took a small sip.

It's finally time to get to the point.

"Before we get to the point... I don't know if you still remember the agreement between us?" Seeing the indifference on his wizard advisor's face, Brandon's eight snow-white teeth were exposed under his lips, and his crimson pupils flickered again:

"I seem to have promised you a lot of things about the prizes after the victory of the Imperial Judgment......

"Nothing, not much at all. The black-haired wizard smiled politely: "There is only one hereditary earl title, and there are corresponding domains, taxes, military powers, and castles... Well, not much at all. ”

"......" Brandon de Salion.

Loren shrugged, not at all surprised by His Royal Highness's expression, leaning back in his chair and holding a wine glass in his hand, his leisurely expression contrasted with Brandon's embarrassed expression.

Not to mention Brandon, even Loren himself didn't expect to win so completely and so simply in the end - the opponent was the Holy Cross Church, and the old-school nobles who were bent on revenge, but on his side there was only one extremely unstable Royal Wizarding Academy as an ally.

The disadvantage of the situation is not to say win, and even if you want to reconcile, it is very difficult... Not to mention Albert's backlash, Lena de Salion's backstabbing, Lussac Corvo's suicide, the unexpected little priest Weber......

It's already a mortal situation, but in the end, it was exchanged for a hearty and outright victory!

Come to think of it, since even his original goal was reconciliation, I'm afraid Brandon's thoughts shouldn't be much different... The two sides take a step back, the situation in the imperial capital will not change in any way, and the balance of strength between the two sides is still the overwhelming upper hand of the Holy Cross Church.

But now that he has won this royal trial, Brandon, who never expected it, will sit in wax...... He had to fulfill his promise.

But Loren didn't care.

"Don't worry... I don't mean to force you, not to mention that it will be difficult for you to come up with these things in your current situation, and besides, it is impossible for us to leave the imperial capital of Golovin for the time being......"

"I've got a good idea!"

The abrupt voice made the black-haired wizard stunned in place, and the corners of Brandon's mouth with a smug face hooked a very deep arc, and his arms were spread out, as if he was holding something:

"Loren Turin, my Excellency Wizard Advisor... I will fulfill the agreement between us and give you the title of Earl of hereditary inheritance!"

"But... The approach you give you needs a little workaround. ”

"Be flexible?"

"That's right, in short, there may be certain obligations in this reward...... Of course, you know, since it's going to be flexible, it definitely won't be the same as before. Brandon spoke in a flirtatious tone, and his exaggerated tone seemed to be joking:

"I can give you this prize, but it's up to you whether you can get it—well... Of course, I believe in you 100% and wish you success!"

For a moment, Loren suddenly had a bad premonition.

Perhaps the fact that I just mentioned that "convention" itself is a very serious mistake.

"Can I ask a question?"

"Of course, just ask!"

"In this agreement, isn't there only such a thing as 'knighthood', there are other things, right?"

"Your Excellency my wizard advisor!" Brandon cocked his thumb, his smooth teeth flickering very:

"Sure enough, it will be able to do it at one point!"

"......" Loren Turin.
