Chapter 27: The Banquet
After entering the palace gates, a neatly dressed servant walked up to Roy's carriage and led Roy's carriage to a different path from that of the Countess of Angela.
Roy asked curiously, "Aren't we going together?" ”
The servant bent down and said humbly: "Young master, you are here for the first time, the place where the male and female nobles park their chariots and horses is not in the first place, they separate here, and then meet at the banquet, according to His Majesty the King, it is a kind of romance to separate and meet again." ”
Roy smiled, he really couldn't understand what the king meant by romance.
The area of the palace was very large, and the main hall used to hold banquets was located on the outer side of the entire palace, and in this way, Roy's carriage was still a short time away.
Stopping the carriage on a large flat ground, Roy got out of the carriage and followed the servant towards the banquet hall.
Before I even got to the place, I heard the sound of music coming from the banquet, the sound was crisp and pleasant, a bit like the sound of a piano.
Turning a bush of flowers and trees, the main hall of the banquet appeared in front of Roy's eyes.
The door of the main hall was open, and a red carpet stretched out from the hall, covering most of the entire road, and through the open doors, you could see the fragrant clothes and sideburns inside, gathering into different groups, saying something to each other, slightly noisy.
The servant bent down, stretched out a hand to lead the way, and said to Roy, "This is the place for the banquet." ”
Roy nodded and stepped inside.
The hall of this banquet is very large, and it is not very obvious outside, but as soon as you enter, you will find that it is so empty, the room is surrounded by sofas and tables for resting, and a man in a dress sits in a corner position and plays the piano with peace of mind, the sound is not loud but very penetrating, it is the sound of music heard outside the hall.
In the middle of the banquet, two huge tables sat side by side, with white tablecloths neatly laid out on them, and the tableware inlaid with gold and silver looked extremely luxurious.
Around the table, there is a circle of desserts, and in the middle, a half-person high champagne tower is neatly arranged, and the champagne has been served, and people are serving glasses from this tower one after another.
As Roy entered, some of the nobles who were talking to him saw him, seemed to be a little puzzled, frowning and talking to the people next to him.
Of course Roy knew what they were thinking, this Liminosi was such a big place, and he couldn't look up and see anyone who looked down, and everyone in the family was probably familiar, and at this time, a newcomer came out of the banquet, which of course attracted the attention of these nobles.
Roy took a glass from the champagne tower and walked to a corner of the banquet, he had only seen these nobles in the game, but only when he accepted some special missions, and he had long forgotten what they looked like.
The nobles have their own circles, and they rush up to talk, maybe when or which sentence will provoke them, it is better to sit in the corner and be a transparent person.
Taking a sip of champagne from the goblet, Roy looked at a plate of pastries on the table a little distracted, he still hadn't figured out how to contact the king, the king who was bewitched by the mother dragon of Angela would definitely tell her the news of the necromantic legion, and the mother dragon would definitely be very happy to hear the news and try her best to prevent the king from sending troops.
As the daughter of the Black Dragon Patriarch Salazie, Agarth is known as the Chaos Dragon by the game's players.
This is not to say that this female dragon belongs to the chaos system, but that this female dragon has a very high passion for disrupting order and stirring chaos, and even incarnates as an adult to disturb Eluseins.
In the early stages of the game, it was precisely because of this female dragon that the kingdom did not fight against it in the early days of the Necromantic Legion, which almost led to the destruction of the country.
And the king has only two children under his knees, the eldest princess Felia Aylo and the prince Rhine Aile, but the prince Rhine Aillo was born by King Aillus XII at the age of 50, and is now only 6 years old, still a child, unable to influence some decisions in the kingdom, the only breakthrough is in the eldest princess.
Roy was so engrossed in his mind that a noblewoman wearing flowers and a top hat walked up to Roy and placed a plate of pastries on the table in front of Roy, and the crunch of the plate colliding with the table pulled Roy back from his thoughts and looked at the noblewoman who came.
Seeing that Roy had come to her senses, the lady smiled, sat down opposite Roy, pushed the pastries on the table against Roy again, and said in a pinched voice, "I saw that you had been staring at the pastries on the table, so I brought them to you." After speaking, he used a small pink fan to cover his smiling mouth.
Roy suddenly, probably taking his unconscious gaze as a desire for pastries, did not explain, and said to the lady, "Thank you then." ”
He was indeed a little hungry, he didn't eat anything after noon, his young body was always hungry fast, and now with this plate of snacks, he always had a good stomach.
The noble lady smiled and said: "You are a nobleman from other provinces, Liminosiri has never seen a male nobleman who does not wear makeup at a banquet, but you are indeed more handsome than them, you can not use that trick, you will stay here for a few days?" I wonder if I'm lucky enough to invite you to my manor outside the city? The woman's eyes seemed to have a pool of spring water, rippling with the waves.
Roy has long known that most of these noblewomen live a rotten life, even if they have a family, some aristocratic couples are playing their own games, but he didn't expect that the reserve of the noblewomen can be said to be thrown away, and they conveyed such a message directly when they met for the first time, which made Roy a little unacceptable for a while.
When he was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, he heard a male voice shouting, "Your Majesty the King has arrived." ”
Roy hurriedly said, "The king is here." After saying that, she stood up with the cup in her hand, facing the direction from which the sound came from, and the noble lady also stood up, and took two steps back, as if she wanted to be next to Roy's body, and Roy hurriedly staggered without a trace.
A chubby old man wearing a crown walked in from the other side of the hall, and it was none other than the king: Elu XII.
He was dressed in hand-embroidered aristocratic robes, with a huge belly sticking out of the flat cloth into a round bag, and seven or eight brilliant rings on his two hands, and he sat on the throne in the middle of the hall with his belly.
The king was followed by a boy and a young woman, none other than the eldest princess Filia and her brother Rhine Ayro, and when the king was seated, they sat on the seat with his hands bowing down.
The king's fat face spun around for a half, and then he laughed, and he stretched out his hand to beckon to the crowd, and a beautiful woman walked out of the crowd, it was the Countess of Angela who had changed from the female dragon.
When she had reached the throne, the king stood up, smiled and walked up to her, took the right hand of the Countess of Angela and took the throne, and placed her on the back seat beside the throne.
Roy watched the king's movements with some surprise, he didn't expect the king to put his lover in such a public place, and the information represented was too big.
Before Roy could think about it, the lady beside him gritted her teeth and whispered hatefully, "That damn succubus! Goblin! ”
