Chapter 224: Her Royal Highness's questioning
In the Grand Palace of Constantinople, the banquet has just begun......
This is very different from the banquets held in other countries of Europe, instead of a large number of people sitting around a round table eating and drinking, it is more inclined to drinks and balls, where men and women either chat in the corner box, or drink wine with glass at the wine table, and of course more often choose a dance partner and start dancing.
"It's really lively!" Randy said as he sat back in a chair, sipping wine from the Greek Peninsula as he took Artoria's hand.
"It's not fun at all." Artoria didn't like this kind of banquet very much, because all the things offered here were wine, fruits, juices, and very few things that could really fill people's stomachs, and if she ate too much, it seemed to be a very shameful thing, and after Artoria ate two more pastries, she was met with ridicule from some of the noble ladies next to her, which made Artoria a little discouraged, and she could only sit down and drink, and as for dancing, the couple did not know anything.
Although many ladies and ladies ran to Randy's side and invited him to dance, Randy only politely refused them.
"I want to stay with my wife!"
"That's a shame." The lady said something so much that Randy almost didn't hold Artoria.
In addition to Randy alone, several other kings and dukes have already started their hunting operations, but there are also many Greek noblewomen who are fond of these foreign princes and nobles, even Attila, who looks seventy or eighty, is now dancing with a beautiful and coquettish lady in her thirties, and if they talk happily, maybe they can have a good night tonight.
The reason why these ladies chose these guys is not because of what they are all about.
The noblewomen who have always embraced Romancentrism do not think that the kings and dukes of the other barbarian countries will bring them much benefit, and the behavior of these noblewomen is basically for the sake of showing off later, like how many men show off at parties, how many women they have.
Women also show off to each other when they get together, how many men they have charmed.
And these nobles from foreign countries will add a very good score to their behavior.
Such behavior had long been customary in the Roman court, and any noblewoman who did not have a sufficient number of lovers could be ridiculed, said to be unattractive, and stupid.
At this dinner party, it was as if the morality of the later generations was degraded, and some idiot college girls compared themselves with each other, how many relationships they had fallen into, and how many men they had slept with, and the virgins who were clean and self-righteous would be laughed at instead.
But this ridiculous, pathetic, shameful standard is the universal value of today, and those who violate this are to be spurned, just like the Norman Emperor and the Norman Empress who repeatedly refused the invitations of other noble men and women to snuggle up to each other.
"What a shame...... is such a handsome person, but he is a wooden head who does not understand amorous feelings. A group of noble ladies gathered together and talked to each other, and before that they had made a bet that whoever would be the first to get the foreign emperor to surrender to his charms would be a very worthy thing to brag about, but in the end all these women failed, and the emperor would rather stay with his rude and mediocre wife and drink juice than dance with the beauties of the Greeks, and the ladies naturally did not want to admit that they were unattractive, so they came to this conclusion.
Randy's head is broken!
"I'm going to teach them a lesson!"
Although the voices of the noblewomen were already very small, it seemed to Artoria, who was riding a thousand miles, that their whispering voices were not much different from talking around her, in fact, even if she couldn't hear them, she saw a group of people gathered together talking and talking small, and she looked at her, and knew that the other party was laughing at her.
"Okay, my dear, what does it matter, they can say it if they want to! Can you still kill them? ”
"But...... They're insulting you, Randy. ”
"This kind of thing doesn't matter at all, when the city of Constantinople is broken in the future, those women will naturally be handed over to you to deal with."
Artoria nodded, obeying Randy's arrangement, ignoring the pointing Greek noblewoman, lazily lying in Randy's arms, eating snacks and drinking wine without a bite, and Sonia stood quietly behind them, existing as a dutiful bodyguard.
"I'm really sorry, it looks like the two of you didn't enjoy this banquet, it's really not well entertained by the palace." At this point, Lilianu also noticed that Randy's side was inappropriate, and left her dance partner and walked straight to this side, sitting on the chair next to Randy and said.
Her Royal Highness the princess is bright and moving, and her bright red low-cut dress and large sapphire necklace hanging down her chest further set off her charm and delicate white skin.
"What a nasty woman!"
The enemy was very red when they saw Lilianu's eye-catching outfit, Artoria became more and more unhappy, and the Norman queen let go of Randy's hand and straightened up to look directly at the woman who had almost made her luck, and the hatred on her face was clearly visible.
"We still have an account that we haven't settled!" Artoria squinted at Lilianu, causing the brave princess who dared to go down to the Colosseum and fight the lions and tigers with her bare hands.
"What a dangerous woman......"
Lilianu secretly exclaimed, she was not one of those idiot noblewomen who had never been on the battlefield and didn't know what this kind of momentum was, this kind of killing aura was unique and unique to the bloody aura that was several times richer than that of a veteran of the battlefield who had risen up and had been through a hundred battles, and this aura only belonged to a legendary warrior like Artoria.
Although she forced Artoria into a corner, but in those short days of confrontation, Artoria's several amazing performances also made Lilianu have nightmares several times, and the brutal demon image holding a black demonic sword on the battlefield lingered, as if a nightmare entangled the princess Her Royal Highness was not at peace, always reminding Lilianu who she was defeated by and who had harmed her for decades.
"Artoria! The Norman Queen! Queen of Britain! Every time she chewed on the name, Lilianu could feel the hatred in her soul grow again, and to this day Artoria hates Lilianu, and why doesn't Lilianu hate Artoria?
The power of hatred and the dignity of being a Roman princess made Lilianu's fear of Artoria much weaker, and after a moment of fear, Lilianu recovered, pulled out the feather folding fan around her waist, and opened it to cover half of her face: "What exactly is Artoria talking about?" This palace doesn't understand, this palace doesn't remember what you owe anyone, presumably Your Majesty, you remember wrong. ”
Lilianu's movements and indifferent tone made Artoria think of the other woman she knew, who was also her other enemy, Randy's sister Aurora,
The two men had a lot in common, their status, their feather fans, their arrogant attitudes, the manners of the aristocratic model, and most importantly, their full breasts, the image of the princess of the two overlapped in Artoria's mind, and the hatred and disgust were even deeper.
"You damn ......" Artoria's right hand was already on the hilt of her sword, her eyes narrowed into a slit, aiming at Lilianu's heart, ready to draw her sword.
"Don't do that, honey."
Just as Artoria was about to draw her sword and kill, Randy quickly reacted, stood up and held Artoria's hand, grabbed Artoria desperately, and at the same time turned her head to look at Lilianu, and said, "I'm sorry Your Highness Princess, my lover is drunk, please don't be surprised." ”
If Artoria was only the queen of Britain now, I am afraid that she would have already made a move, but now she has another identity, the queen of the Norman Empire, so he has to think from the standpoint of the Norman Empire.
"Humph!"
Artoria gradually let go of her grip on the hilt of her sword, snorted, took a step back, and sat back in her chair.
Just as Randy finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt that this was the end of the matter, Artoria stood up again, startling Randy.
Artoria then said, "I'll go back first, don't worry about me, it's okay." ”
After saying that, he left without looking back......
"Get out of the way!"
When he left, he also took the opportunity to push Lilianu, Randy only felt that his shoulder, as if he had been hit by a high-speed war horse, fell backwards uncontrollably, and hit directly on the wooden wall of the salon box, the bones up and down his body were in severe pain, and his right arm was the most serious, and he could barely lift it.
"It's really ......," Randy sighed, many people had already noticed that something was wrong here, pointing and whispering, the music playing by the band stopped, and a small group of soldiers in traditional Roman breastplates walked briskly.
"Your Royal Highness, let the banquet return to normal! We hope that this little unpleasantness will not affect the mood of our guests. ”
Randy turned to Sonia and winked, and Sonia understood that she would leave immediately, running in the direction of the scolding Artoria, whispering as she ran, "Your Highness the Queen, our room is over here." ”
"Is this called a little unpleasantness? That savage woman almost killed me just now. At this moment, Lilianu was also very angry, she had already adapted to the Greek civilization, and her Royal Highness the princess who expounded her opinions through debate and refuted the opponent's life was completely unexpected, just a little irony, which actually angered Artoria to that extent, and Her Royal Highness, who had been on the battlefield, understood that Artoria really planned to draw her sword at that time, not as a joke or threat, but really wanted to kill herself.
What can Her Royal Highness do at such a time? Furious, he gave an order for the Praetorian Guards to capture the Norman Emperor and Empress? Not to mention whether this can be successful, the fifty Norman Guard knights brought by Randy are also in the banquet hall, and there are thousands of elite soldiers in Constantinople, and there are tens of thousands of troops outside the city.
"Your Royal Highness!!"
Randy frowned and screamed again, Lilianu glared at Randy reproachfully, cleared her throat and said loudly, "Guards, please go back to your posts, please don't mind, this is just a trivial accident, please continue to enjoy the joy of this banquet." ”
At the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Roman guards left and returned to their corners to regain their feet, and a kind of Roman aristocracy began to have fun again, but the vast majority of people took this matter to heart, and some of the nobles who knew each other well also turned the conversation to this aspect.
"I'm so sorry! My wife, she sometimes gets too emotional, usually she gets very excited at times and does something bad. ”
"Barbarians have no education without education, and it is difficult for you to live with such a woman for five years." Lilianu slandered in her heart, but she couldn't say such a thing, but after this incident, Lilianu didn't have a good face to show Randy.
"I have to say that this behavior of Her Majesty Empress Artoria is really too rude, in Greece, as long as there is a little bit of culture, nobles or commoners will not do anything like it, to be honest, this palace is very disappointed."
"I apologize to you again, Your Highness the Princess." What else could Randy say at the moment, he could only apologize again and again.
"Without that woman in the way, my mood is really much better."
Lilianu thought so, and said to Randy: "This palace is not dissatisfied with the Norman Empire, let alone with His Majesty Randy, although I have not been with Your Majesty for a long time, but this palace can see that Your Majesty is a person worthy of contact, Norman is the most worthy country in Rome, and this palace is only dissatisfied with the queen of your country." ”
Hearing this, what could Randy do but smile wryly?
"Seriously, this palace is very strange, a character like Your Majesty should have been matched with a more suitable woman, and in addition, this palace has also heard that Your Majesty and the Queen have been married for five years, and nothing has to ......"
"Artoria is still very good!"
Hearing Lilianu constantly speaking ill of Artoria, Randy couldn't help but argue: "Although her temper is a little hot, when it comes to marching and fighting, there is no one more suitable than her in the whole Norman, Artoria is recognized as the first commander and strongest general in the Norman Empire, and her contribution to Norman is enough to make up for all the mistakes she has made, or in the face of the merits she has obtained, those shortcomings and mistakes are not worth mentioning at all." ”
Hearing Randy talk about Artoria's commanding abilities, Lilianu immediately remembered the great loss she had suffered at Artoria's hands before that, and then lost most of her resources, power, and was imprisoned by the old immortal, and her reputation plummeted, and even became a laughing stock, like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail.
"That's why you tolerated her mistakes and married her?"
I and Lilianu must have only met for the first time, right? Is it really appropriate for her to ask that?
Randy sighed slightly, turned around and looked around, because of the disturbance caused by Artoria before, most people were paying attention here, and when they heard Artoria's shouting, many people turned their heads to look this way, and there was a lot of warmth between their eyebrows and eyes, presumably they heard the content of Lilianu's shouting clearly.
"I didn't expect that in just such a short period of time, His Majesty Randy's strength is even stronger than we thought." Charles, the king of Burgundy, who was relatively close, took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to laugh while holding back a smile and said to Attila, the king of Hungary next to him.
"Sure enough, the times are young, and we are all old." Attila whispered in agreement.
This will be the behavior of Her Royal Highness Princess Lilianu, coupled with the previous incident of Queen Artoria's angry departure, is there a more exciting and attention-grabbing scandal in this world? However, I had never heard of an intersection between Lilianu and Randy before, and I only knew each other for a while. Worthy of the Norman emperors.
Seeing that Randy didn't answer her question, but looked around, Lilianu also turned her head, and saw that many people stopped talking or dancing, and looked over with a smile, Her Royal Highness the princess is not a fool, and naturally understands what this smile means.
"Oops!" With a sound, his face turned red directly.
