The castle's large hall was lit up, a small band played cheerful music in one corner of the main stage, and several juggling young women performed jugglers such as splitting in the air.

Below the main table were three long tables, the middle of which was reserved for the knights, and the tables on either side were reserved for the knights.

Charles sat at the very end of the counts, and to his right was a teenage viscount.

The freckled viscount was the eldest son of the adjacent earl to the north of the Marquis Schmidt's domain, and his title was given by his father, indicating the successor to the count's title.

The little guy seemed to be a talker, and he didn't stop talking after the guests were seated, from how much land he had in his house to how much wine he had made this year, Charles bragged about it without asking him himself.

(°Д°)?:"Didn't you let the girl press the grape juice with her feet when you made the wine at home?"

Charles took the opportunity to interject.

"Why do you want to do that?" asked Viscount Freckles, curious.

"Well......" said Charles, pretending to be profound, "this is a secret that I have spent a lot of money to discover, and I cannot tell you." ”

"Tsk......" Viscount Freckles said disdainfully to Charles, "isn't it money." ”

With that, he threw a black card on the table with the dragon-like head of Lady Leif painted on it, "Have you seen it?"

Charles shook his head, "I haven't seen it." ”

Then he pulled out the blue card Aunt Leif had given him, "I've only seen this before. ”

"Haha......" Viscount Freckles scratched the back of his head, "I haven't seen this one of yours either." ”

Charles smiled and didn't speak, and put the card away.

Instead, it was the Viscount named Barry, who was sitting to the right of Viscount Freckles, who let out an exclamation of amazement. Viscount Freckles, like many other fiefdom nobles, didn't like to deal with this gentle-looking court nobleman, so he didn't care about his voice.

Viscount Freckles, like other minor nobles who were groomed as successors, had some power to decide the affairs of the territory, and Charles was quick to negotiate a technology transfer with him.

Charles told him: "There is a substance in the grape seed that can spoil the taste of the wine, and the way the juice was pressed in the past would damage the grape seed and it would get into the wine. And the girl's soft feet don't spoil the grape seeds, which prevents the wine from deteriorating. ”

"Well......" Viscount Freckles thought for a moment, "there are still some grapes harvested this year, and I'll try them when I go back tomorrow." I'll save you some more when the wine is ready. ”

Then Charles asked Viscount Freckles to send his share directly to his grandfather, and I believe the soldiers would like it.

At this time, the music from the main stage changed, and the music changed from cheerful to solemn and grand.

The guests sat down and looked in the direction of the main stage.

On the brightly lit main stage stood a lady about the same height as Charles, chubby as an inflated balloon, and in a splendid gown inlaid with various gems, she stood in the light, like the balls in a ballroom that emit various colors. And the most memorable thing about her is her face, her facial features are extremely incongruous, and she is so ugly that it is unforgettable.

But none of the guests present had a look of contempt for her ugliness.

"For me, your love is far greater than that of a high-ranking nobleman, far better than a family with thousands of wealth, and a thousand cabinets of brocade clothes"

"More joy than falcons and horses, I will laugh at all mankind as long as I have you. ”

......

Joy, cheerfulness, happiness, sweetness, pride, pride...... It was the first time that Charles could clearly feel such a rich and sincere emotion from his singing.

The song came out of her big mouth like two sausages, and everyone present listened to it with fascination.

Under the influence of magic, everyone inside and outside the castle could hear her beautiful singing as if she were singing in front of her.

Even the caravan stationed in the distance, the people who had been fighting routinely stopped and listened carefully to the sounds coming from the castle.

"Who is he?" asked Charles.

As a result, Charles shook his head.

"She is Maria," said Barry, who sat on the other side of the Freckled Viscount, "and she is the darling of the gods of music, and although the gods did not give her a beautiful look, they gave her the best voice in the world." ”

At the end of the song, the guests in the auditorium were still intoxicated by the song of love just now.

After a long time, the earl, who was sitting on the other side of Charles, sighed: "I didn't think Schmidt could invite her." ”

Then someone said, "I heard that Steve has known her since she was an adventurer, and for a while served as her bodyguard. ”

At this time, the singers on the main stage had already left the stage, and in Charles's eyes, the groom, dressed like a dog, came to the stage.

But Charles soon burst out laughing softly.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Viscount Freckles, curious.

Bard was nervous. Charles replied, "His fingers were shaking to hide the trembling of his hands." ”

"Are you familiar with His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" asked Viscount Freckles in surprise.

"So-so. Charles said very blandly.

Since the disappearance of the eldest prince of the Biberach Kingdom many years ago, the first heir to the throne has become the second princess Rose, and it is not clear that she will also disappear, so the third prince Bud, who has never planned to be king, is an idle prince who aims to play all day long.

Or rather, his job is to unite the next generation of the core nobles of the kingdom.

For example, the third prince held a small military position in the Praetorian Guard, and the officers under him were young nobles who could not inherit their father's titles, such as the second son of the Marquis of Hermanlik, and the main task of these young masters was to stay in the royal capital to gild and serve as protons.

Now his mission is to marry the Marquis Schmidt's family, who are located in the southwestern part of the kingdom.

Fortunately, the two families have been operating this matter, and the newlyweds have also played since childhood, and this wedding is also a public and private balance and a happy family.

But as the important moment approached when his father-in-law and mother-in-law were about to deliver his wife into his hands, Bard still felt very nervous.

Soon, the Marquis Schmidt and his wife, dressed in magnificent dresses, took the bride's hand to the main stage.

The groom will face the "three questions of my mother-in-law": will you abandon my daughter because of illness, will you snub my daughter because of your change of heart, and will you find an excuse to abuse my daughter.

After the groom gave a satisfactory answer to his mother-in-law, the mother-in-law gave the bride's hand to the groom.

Then it was the turn of the "father-in-law to ask three questions", but the marquis asked his own daughter: whether you are really willing to go with this man, whether you are willing to never abandon this man, and whether this man bullies you or do you want me to chop him.

After the bride gave a satisfactory answer, the father-in-law solemnly handed the bride's hand into the groom's hand.

At this time, the groom is holding the bride's hands, and it can be regarded as taking the bride home.

Next, it is time for everyone to give the bride a blessing gift.

Princess Rose presented her best friend and sibling with a beautiful set of enamel and colorful crystal tea sets.

The body of this elf-inspired tea set is carved from clear crystal, and the lower half and handle of the teacup and teapot are decorated with vine and flower motifs, and the cup and jug are embellished with lifelike butterflies.

With the elves' style of selling goods with exclusive core technology, Charles estimated that the price of this tea set would allow Artoria to have a full meal by tonight's standards.

The second to give the gift was the father of the Freckled Viscount, a neighbor of the Marquis Schmidt's family, who presented him with a cloak made of fiery red fur.

"This firefox fur cloak cost a lot of money. Viscount Freckles said with a little pride, "The fur of this cloak is of the highest quality, there is not a trace of flaw in the flame-like coat color, and it looks like a flame from a distance when worn on the body." ”

Charles nodded, surprised that the other caravans were not slow, because this Firefox cloak was the one their caravan had bought in Corn City in August and sold in Avalon.

Of course, the price of the cloak is also expensive, and the bottom line for Aubrey to price luxury goods is to change the purchase price of silver coins to gold coins.

The third gift was a small set of swords, made by the dwarves, which another marquis from the east had given to the newlyweds' children.

During this time, Viscount Freckle's face was full of pride, because not counting the gifts given by the princess, the gifts given by his family were the most expensive.

Charles couldn't help but shake his head for this young master who didn't know the black heart of a businessman.

When it was Charles' turn to give the gift, Artoria appeared in a knight's dress, she was wearing a red dress similar to the "Lobster Soldier" military uniform, and the whole person looked extremely heroic, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

She holds a tray with a crystal bottle of about 100 milliliters in emerald green and a golden lily on it.

The women present, from Princess Rose to the ladies and ladies brought by the nobles, all gasped.

The "Lily" brand beauty water produced by Genie has the functions of cleansing the skin, making the skin fresh and clean, whitening the skin, and removing freckles, pimples and small scars on the face, and is a product that is sought after by beauty-loving women.

Depending on the effect, the color of the lily on the beauty water bottle is also different. None of the beauties here have a bottle of precious blue or red lily lotion, and Princess Rose even has a bottle of yellow.

And the beauty lotion of the golden lily is a legendary existence.

Legend has it that the queen of the Biberach kingdom was given 25 liters of this lotion, which she diluted with a small half drop of water every morning and evening, and applied it to her face and hands, and after five days, her skin was as tender as her daughter's.

Charles believed this rumor, because he had been injured a lot in training recently, and Elizabeth would pour this beauty lotion directly on his scar twice before going to bed, and the scar would be gone when he woke up the next day. Fortunately, his complexion was white enough, otherwise he would have been painted with vitiligo.

In the market, this kind of beauty water has no price, and if it is auctioned in a big city, the money from the sale of such an unopened bottle of "Golden Lily" beauty water can give Artoria at least three days of full food.

Then the men who came with their wives and daughters also gasped...... They knew their money bags were going to suffer.

In the eyes of envy and jealousy, Susie happily accepted Charles's gift.

At this moment, the door of the auditorium was pushed open.

A man dressed in a white robe and cloak with a hood covering his face walked in.

The host and the guests looked at the uninvited guest with puzzled expressions, not knowing whether they were friends or foes.

Just as the Marquis Schmidt was about to call someone to stop him, he lifted his hood and revealed a face that was seven or eight percent similar to that of the bridegroom.

"The Great Prince?!"

Quite a few people exclaimed.

Rose, who was sitting at the head of the long table, stood up sharply and exclaimed, "Big brother!"

The visitor smiled and said to Bud, who was excited on the main stage, "My brother, you have finally grown up." At the same time, he opened his arms and prepared to hug Bud.

The eldest prince, who had been missing for many years, suddenly appeared, and then everyone was pleasantly surprised, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the auditorium.

In front of everyone's eyes, Artoria, who had just finished giving gifts and holding a tray in her hand, was still facing away from everyone suddenly drew her sword from her waist like lightning, and then turned around and slashed at the person who had just stepped onto the main stage.

Suddenly, an arm flew up.
