Chapter 52: The Banquet
Night soon came, and the whole world was gradually enveloped in darkness, but today on the outskirts of Memleben, in the Klose family's manor, the darkness was dispelled by the light of the flames. Not only that www.biquge.info but as more and more people flocked from Memleben, the Klose family had to light more bonfires to illuminate the entire venue.
"Wow, your Klose family is in the limelight this time. You see, Tobias, Conrad, Turingen... So many big nobles have come to talk to you. While teasing Caroline, who was struggling to greet her at the door, Elise flipped through the greetings handed by the nobles who had come to the banquet.
"In front of enough interests, let alone pull the relationship. Even if they were to give their daughter to Rudolph as a wife today, they would do so today. Caroline, who was half exhausted, made a mocking sneer in her eyes. After a period of observation, Carolan has roughly figured out the complicated relationship between this woman and her brother, so she doesn't mind insinuating the direct ambiguous relationship between the two of them now.
"What an uncute little one." When Elise heard Caroline's words, her whole body froze, and then she dressed as an elder and taught Caroline a lesson and walked back to the banquet.
"Rudolph likes big-breasted girls, you remember to take a good look at him." Carolan didn't know what was going on today, she felt a little inexplicably excited, and when this sentence came out, she felt a little Meng Lang, but fortunately, Elise didn't hear what Carolan said because it was too noisy around, just waved her hand and disappeared into the depths of the manor.
"Hey, it's a real headache for these two people right now. I don't know what Rudolph really thinks. Carolan has a headache when she thinks about the relationship between these two people recently, without him, and I don't know why Elise likes to chat with Carolan very much, and Carolan's knowledge is naturally easy to make the current situation in Denmark clear. But it is precisely because she knows so much that Carolan feels very entangled now.
Intellectually speaking, Caroline should ignore the ambiguity between these two people, so that it is more in her own interests, but whenever Caroline thinks that it is best to deal with it like this, when she looks at the tacit little gesture between Rudolph and Elise, she feels that she should do something.
"Hehe, today's Klose family is really lively, hehehehe" In the shadows not far from the Klose family manor, there was a carriage with extremely ornate decorations, even if you only looked at the extremely huge bear rider coat of arms framed on the carriage, you knew that this carriage belonged to the Leopodin family of the Duchy of Bavaria, I don't know how long it was silent, and a gloomy sneer suddenly came from the carriage.
"Carnival is the prerogative of the victors, after all, it is Richard who commands on the battlefield today, not you, our Guardian His Excellency Eberhard." Even if he just listened to Eberhard's voice, he knew that Eberhard was extremely unhappy after seeing the current ecstatic situation of the Klose family. However, due to the great business of Bavaria's preparations, Eberhard still had to honestly go to the banquet of Klose's house and put on a close look. However, Ledin's words obviously calmed Eberhard, too, in any case, the Klose family is the victor today, and in the aristocracy, the victor always has a lot of privileges. When Bavaria becomes the victor to the south, Eberhard will receive even greater privileges, privileges that the Klose family could not imagine.
"Hmph, let's go. Go and see if Herman's old-fashioned face will smile a little today and make me hate him less. It took a moment for Eberhard to speak, and though his voice had regained its calm, Herman's piercing language betrayed him.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
"A visit from Eberhard, heir to the Duchy of Bavaria!" The high-pitched voice of the squire at the door quickly informed everyone of the arrival of the top figures of the kingdom's power.
“!” This exclamation point best reflects Caroland's mood when he heard Eberhard's arrival, according to Caroline's estimate, he thinks that the first person to arrive at the Klose family estate should be Otto, and then the Bavarian group, which is more in line with the relationship between the Klose family and the tribal dukes. But apparently he had misestimated the relationship between Henry the Bird Catcher and Arnulf now, and in order to promote Arnulf's expedition to Italy, Henry no longer cared about the previous conflicts with Arnulf.
"You're Caroline! Looks skinny and almost like a sissy Italian! "Eberhard had a typical Germanic physique, and when he got out of the carriage and strode into Klose's manor, he had the eagle-eyed look that was admired by later generations.
"The emaciated Romans have come out of Italy and dominated Europa, Lord Eberhard." Although Carolan immediately wanted to go back to the dark after hearing Eberhard's words, but thinking that today was the big day of the Klose family, it was too stingy for herself and Eberhard to go toe, so she could change her words.
"Your Excellency Eberhard, wisdom prevails over power, and you know that Lord Arnulf has always admired a child as good as Carolan." The moment Redding saw Carolan, his eyes lit up, and he decisively interrupted Eberhard, who still wanted to say goodbye to Carolan.
"Hmph." Eberhard wanted to say something more, but when he saw Ledin's eyes, he gave up on it. Then without looking back, he strode into the center of the banquet into the circle of nobles who had been looking forward to it for a long time, and it seemed that he didn't want to look at Caroline again.
"Huh~ Thank you for helping me out, may I ask who you are?" Caroline exhaled when she saw Eberhard leave, if this guy said anything more, she couldn't help but fight back, after all, Caroline is not a good-natured guy.
"Ryding, Rydin Zelasi. Today, he was a drinker at the court of the Dukes of Bavaria. Reding answered Caroline's question with a smile, and before Redin could say anything, a new group of nobles arrived at Klose Manor. After seeing that Carolan seemed to have something new coming, Reding smiled and stopped bothering, and Carolan also walked directly into the manor.
Caroline was in a trance when he saw Redding's back, and he smelled a scent from the smiling man in the short contact just now. This feeling is also perceived by Leiding, maybe it is this feeling, so Leiding brazenly took action to organize Eberhard, otherwise according to Leiding's black-bellied character, he would love to watch Eberhard and Carolan tear at the door, anyway, these two guys have no right to fight on behalf of the two camps, Laiding just looked at the excitement.
This smell is called the smell of the same kind.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
The newcomers, Carolan, knew from afar what was going on with them, because he had heard Otto's characteristic hearty laughter early on, but he was still surprised because he saw the future "thegreat" Hugo Capet in the crowd, but it seemed that this "thegreat" was obviously not very happy, and this unhappiness was obviously related to the "thegreat" Otto who was the leader of the group.
"Am I witnessing the origins of Franco-German hatred?" Sensing the awkward atmosphere between these two future figures, Caroline teased herself in her heart, and then straightened her face to meet it.
"Haha! Carolan! I just told them that the brown sugar you made tasted so good with red wine that you wanted us to taste it today. Otto immediately greeted Caroline loudly when he saw that the person who greeted him at the door was Caroline.
"yes, yes."
"Carolan, you must not be stingy!" Ying and Otto's voices came and went, but this group of people was considered Otto's royal companion, and Carolan was one of them, so they didn't say these words outside.
・・・・・・・
"Okay, I have enough drinks today, and I won't go home if I don't get drunk." Carolan casually responded to the words of the royal companions while observing Hugo's face, but he miscalculated Otto's excitement today, and as soon as he approached the crowd, Otto grabbed his right hand, and then dragged him to his side and grabbed his shoulder.
"Hahaha, you really should go to the palace to see Arnulf's face, hahaha is simply wonderful." Otto whispered in Caroline's ear why he was in such a good mood.
"Really? I always thought that Master Arnulf's skin was as thick as Theosedo's. Caroline naturally knew how to talk to make the "thegreat" happy.
"Hahaha" Sure enough, Otto showed his mood with a burst of laughter.
"Your Highness Otto, you go in first, my mother and brother are inside, oh yes, Eberhard is here too, but it seems that he is a little hot today, you can go and see him, after all, you are also his brother." When Carolan saw that Otto's group was about to walk in, she had a flash of inspiration and said, Caroline was very vindictive, and was sarcastically said by Eberhard at the door, this is simply an incomprehensible idea to find a way to get back to the field.
"Ahh Good! I'm going to see our good brother. After hearing Carolan say this, Otto immediately understood what Caroline meant, and immediately put on the appearance of a big brother to find a place for Caroline. Although he can't fall out with Bavaria at the moment, this does not prevent Otto from having a good exchange with Eberhard about their long-standing kinship.
Watching Otto and them disappear into the crowd of the Klose family's estate, Caroline bred up to greet the last of the heavyweight guests. Because Otto has come, Herman has not yet returned. So there's only one explanation: Herman is accompanying Henry the Bird Catcher here!
