Chapter 16: The Court Dinner!

The palace dinner is no different from those cookie-cutter aristocratic dinners on the mainland, the difference is that the scale is larger, the number of people is a little more, the decoration is a little more luxurious, and the food is a little richer, but it's just that. However, the court banquet is not only a place to eat, but also an important place for negotiation, and the dance floor of dozens of square meters in the hall is an excellent place for hooking up with women.

Alan was not used to attending aristocratic dinners, because Alan had his own homely attributes, although it was not to the extent of social phobia, but it was better for Alan to stay in a familiar environment more comfortable.

Surrounded by a group of dirt-bun aristocrats dressed as Kill Matt (in Eren's opinion), Alan scans around to see where he can still find his place.

Alan looked to the left and saw that on the left, a person took a wig with a white curly hairstyle, and showed off there how much effort he had spent to get a new style from the Eastern Continent. Then the people around him exclaimed, and then there was a hula clapping. The nobleman with the wig was smug, although he himself couldn't say what this wig was pretty, but it was enough to attract the attention of the surroundings.

Helpless. Allen's gaze turned to the right, and there was a group of young nobles, each boasting of their prowess in front of the young noble ladies and ladies. It's not that he hunted alone in a certain year, and then encountered danger, but let him exert his ingenuity and resolute spirit in the jungle, and finally successfully hunted a bear back. It was that he was trapped in the enemy army in a certain battle, and he struggled endlessly, although he was finally defeated and captured, but the other party was moved by his noble spirit, and finally respectfully let himself go. If one or two ladies or ladies can get them to look at them differently, it means that they don't have to be alone in the empty bed tonight.

Alan has no interest in such an aristocratic method of flirting with girls, not to mention that 99% of the women here are the kind of people who are wide and fat, with freckles on their faces and greasy hair. Even if you meet one or two slender and good-looking ones, one mouth is a mouthful of yellow teeth, and a thick tone, if you hold on for less than a minute, Alan will be forced to retreat.

Alan even felt that he could become a vindication if he continued like this, except that the improved maids could tolerate it after the health policy was introduced in his duke's estate. The others hadn't found a single one that would keep Alan from running away for a minute.

So Allen's only purpose for attending the dinner party every time fell on food. The food provided as the palace banquet of the Anmuxi Kingdom is naturally not a big road goods, what Arctic shellfish, deep-sea squid, and snow lotus in Arras Mountain, all of them are available here, which can be regarded as a comfort to Allen, and those who usually can't afford to eat or are reluctant to eat can finally let go of eating here. And Alan is not the only one who intends to do this, many small nobles from the countryside can't take their turn to brag at the banquet, and their only desire is to have a good meal.

Just as Alan was about to eat which plate to eat first, Duke Lawrence came to Allen's side.

Duke Lawrence picked up the wine glass in his hand, gestured to Alan, and said, "Dear little Alan, why don't you stand here alone, why don't you meet some beautiful maidens or charming ladies?"

Alan picked up his wine glass and saluted back: "Uncle Lawrence, don't make fun of me, I have always disliked this kind of banquet, and I really don't have anything to say, I'm afraid I'm going to snub the beautiful woman."

Duke Lawrence smiled and said, "Little Alan, you are wrong, among so many nobles present, in addition to His Majesty the King, you are the second person in line to receive attention."

"Oh? Why?" Alan wondered, he knew that he didn't apply grease and powder, and he dressed up like those nobles, so he could say that he was a non-mainstream and maverick in the eyes of everyone. In the experience of Allen's previous life, although no one denigrated them for the non-mainstream, ordinary people were not willing to contact them.

The Duke of Lawrence explained, "Little Alan, don't you really know? Among the many people present, apart from His Majesty the King, you are the Duke of Ouranos, I, the Duke of Lawrence, the Duke of Manuel, and the Duke of Bashir have the highest titles. Of the four of us, you're the only one who is still unmarried. If there's one young lady who can capture your heart, she'll probably be the Duchess of the future. Not to mention that at the age of sixteen, you can easily take Tulga and expel Andrew. These deeds of yours have long been known in the kingdom. Those young ladies and young ladies are very interested in you. ”

After listening to it, Alan realized that he had already become famous, and secretly looked around, not knowing if he had listened to Lawrence's words, and subconsciously made trouble, and sure enough, he found that although the young ladies and ladies around him were talking their own words, they glanced at them from time to time and swam past Allen.

At this discovery, Alan was suddenly shocked, feeling as if he was being targeted by dozens of hungry wolves.

Fortunately, the court band played in unison, and then the hall door slowly opened. A young man dressed in gold and silver, with a strong nouveau riche smell all over his body, walked into the hall, and a tall black-haired woman stood beside him.

This dark-haired woman was completely different from the traditional Ambrosia women with rough skin, large pores, and a fat body that Allen knew.

She was slender and tall, fair-skinned, and had a very delicate countenance, dressed in a Sherlock-style aristocratic evening gown, a white dress trimmed with gold trim that covered her bare feet, revealing only a little pointe, and her black hair fell like a waterfall behind her ears and down to her waist. What surprised Allen the most was that under the curved willow eyebrows, there were a pair of eyes glowing with autumn water, gentle and affectionate, lonely and cold. It is like the white lotus in the depths of the snow-capped mountains, living far away from the world and not causing dust.

"Who are they?" Alan asked.

Duke Lawrence explained: "You forgot? That is His Majesty Charlie's only son, **** Edward. Didn't you play together when you were kids?"

Alan then remembered from his memory that the original Allen had indeed been in contact with Edward when he was a child, as well as Fiona, the eldest daughter of Duke Lawrence, Robin, the eldest son of Duke Bashir, Carl, and other noble children.

However, Edward looked snow-white and pink when he was a child, why is it that the oily head and flour face are evil at first sight? After thinking about it, Alan still attributed the fault to the aesthetic difference.

Duke Lawrence continued: "The woman next to Edward is Miss Gloria, the eldest daughter of Duke Fario of the Danone Kingdom."

Alan was stunned, Danone Kingdom is here? Could it be a marriage?

The Danone Kingdom is different from the Anmushi Kingdom, although the Danone Kingdom also has kings, but the power of the Danone Kingdom is in the hands of the noble council, and the parliament is the president of the parliament with the greatest power. For many years, the Fario family controlled the position of president of the council and were the most powerful family in the Danone Kingdom. If Edward and Gloria were married, it would probably represent an alliance between the two kingdoms.

When Edward and Gloria came to King Charles II, Charles II stood up from his throne and clapped his palms gently.

When the voice in the hall fell silent, he spoke: "Distinguished gentlemen, ladies. Allow me to introduce you to the fact that my son Edward Stuttgart and his fiancée are from the beautiful Miss Gloria Fario of the Kingdom of Danone. ”

The crowd applauded and congratulated Edward and Gloria.

Charles II pressed his hand, waited for his voice to be quieter, and then said: "I declare that when we return from the great victory of Moslian, it will be the day of Edward's wedding!" And I believe that the marriage between the two of them is also the best proof of mutual trust and friendly exchanges between the Kingdom of Ammuxi and the Kingdom of Danone. ”

The applause from the crowd was even more enthusiastic.

Allen is even more pessimistic about this expedition, this kind of behavior of setting a flag for himself can be regarded as a kind of happiness for ignorant people.

After Charles II finished speaking, he returned to the throne, and the Duke of Manuel and the Duke of Bashir by his side immediately accompanied him to talk.

Edward, on the other hand, led Gloria onto the central dance floor and danced slowly to the court musicians.

Duke Lawrence patted Allen on the shoulder and said, "Little Allen, go and invite the ladies to dance." I'm going too, so I won't accompany you. With that, after straightening her collar, Shi Shiran walked to a fair-skinned, but only sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and successfully led the girl onto the dance floor.

Alan muttered that the old cow eats tender grass and continues to work as a foodie.

After that, although some bold girls or young women occasionally invited Alan to dance, Alan was already unwell and blocked back.

As a result, Allen's cold reaction aroused the enthusiasm of this group of noblewomen, and they were discussing in private who could invite Allen to dance and who could win Allen to spend the Spring Festival together.

In the face of the increasingly hot situation, Alan finally couldn't bear it anymore. This group of noble ladies is arrogant and expensive, they can't beat or scold, but they still stick to you, and Alan has no choice but to use the ultimate secret method - urine to escape.
