Chapter 40: Invitation
But Robin didn't have time to think about those things, and a figure walked towards him from the crowd.
Everyone's eyes immediately converged.
It's finally time -
Calista left the stage to Robin in the hope that he could get to know the upper echelons of the kingdom more so that he could facilitate his future development.
At the same time, it is not a good thing for the high-ranking people of these kingdoms to establish a good relationship with the future oracle as soon as possible.
Robin took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile at the passer.
The Duke of Salom, who came from the Yuyan Collar, wore a single-chip pinch-nose glasses in his right eye, his reddish-brown hair was neatly coiled behind his head, and he was wearing a red gown, which looked noble and temperamental.
In her right hand, she held a high-legged silver wine glass, and on her thumb was the artifact [Elven Language], which countless mages coveted. The eyes of the crowd looked at them, consciously or unconsciously.
This is also the moment they wait, and no one dares to strike up a conversation in front of the Grand Duke.
And before Salom took the initiative, everyone else was speculating about which Grand Duke it should be.
He is the eldest Duke of Gwen, or the most influential Duke of Olga.
But when they saw that it was Salom, everyone felt a little relieved.
There is no more suitable [first] candidate than the Duke of Salom.
Old Duke Gwen is old, and there are even rumors that she has Alzheimer's, and Duke Olga always gives people an indifferent image, which is not suitable for warm-up.
Maybe Olga himself may not be willing to do this.
Duke Matilda is too young, and Duke Aiden, who is closest to the Chosen One, obviously has a bad manner, and the outside world always thinks that this duke does not look like a competent archduke.
And Salom is calm and kind, but at the same time elegant and polite, and knows how to take measure.
There really is no better candidate than her.
People consciously leave space for two people.
Rowling also walked away a little under the protection of Arce Jr.
All eyes still fell on Salom and Robin, consciously or unconsciously, watching their every move.
"Your Excellency Grand Duke Salom." Robin bowed slightly to the comer.
"Lord Robin."
The other party smiled politely.
She picked up a slice of wheat bun from the table next to her, dipped it in some butter, and took a bite.
"Hmmm~ It's delicious. Sure enough, the food in the temple was different. β
Robin nodded and smiled.
At least during Calista's absence, he was the master of the temple, and if a guest complimented him on the good food, he should respond politely.
"I heard you had a lot of research on cooking?" Grand Duke Salom looked at him curiously.
Robin was slightly stunned and immediately reacted.
Archduke Salom was talking about his falsified experienceβ
He and his sister Rowling grew up in the Frozen Collar, and their mother died young, leaving them with only a bakery.
So in order to support the family, Robin had to take on the burden of making bread and pastries to support the two of them from an early age.
"Actually, it's not a cooking ......," Robin smiled awkwardly, "We just make a few kinds of bread that is barely satisfying, and it doesn't actually taste very good, and the neighbors think we are poor for my brother and sister, so they come to visit from time to time." β
"It's already rare." Salom earnestly praised, "Know ......"
She stopped talking, looking beyond the temple.
Before, Jima was still standing in that position to protect the king's safety.
"My kids don't think so much about their families." She seemed to realize that she had been rude, and quickly added, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have compared you to my children, Lord Robin. β
"It's fine." Robin shook his head.
"Maybe it's also because I, as a mother, am incompetent and ask too much of them, but in the end, none of them listen to me." Salom frowned regretfully and smiled bitterly, "Perhaps, this is the inheritance of the Addington family, you must know that I was also a disobedient child back then." β
"No," Robin shook his head, "I think the Duke of Salom is a good archduke and a good mother, but maybe in the wrong way, and maybe sometimes they should be allowed to fly." β
"Let them fly?" Salom's eyes froze for two seconds.
She looked at Robin in a daze, her eyes a little complicated.
Robin smiled and patted her on the shoulder.
According to his previous experience, basically family conflicts are caused by incomprehension.
"Thank you, Lord Robin."
Salom touched the silver glass lightly on the rim of Robin's glass.
Make a crisp sound.
She craned her neck and drank the wine from her glass.
Robin stared at the mellow, colorless liquid in the cup, and then took a long sip of Shalom's example.
As the liquid crept down his throat, it was as if a fire was burning in his chest.
However, this time it felt much better than it did in the Frost Fortress.
I don't know if it's because of the quality.
After the heat subsided, a faint sweetness spread under Robin's tongue.
He held up his glass, silently surveying the liquid inside.
It's no wonder that everyone wants to squeeze into high society, whether it's eating or drinking, it's completely different.
"Lord Robin, your Normelic lingua franca is much better than Etner." Salom picked up the conversation again.
"Thanks for the compliment, I've been practicing lately." Robin clenched his hands into fists and put them to his mouth and coughed, "I'm practicing the Normel Lingua Franca." β
"Then you're really talented." Salom looked at Robin in surprise, "Because your Normel a Word, so well." β
ββ¦β¦β
Robin couldn't tell her that it was because she had just learned Itnell.
But it's a miracle that he's able to communicate in Itnell to this extent.
His gaze glanced at Rowling beside him.
In comparison, this sister is simply a linguistic genius.
She speaks Itnerian as if she were a native.
It was at this moment that Grand Duke Salom leaned closer to Robin and lowered his voice.
"If you could, I'd like to ask you to go outside and talk about something intimate."
"Intimate Things......
Robin was slightly stunned.
When he saw his sister next to him frowning at him, he couldn't help but hold his forehead.
This guy's ears are really good.
"It's about the future of the kingdom, and it's about your own future." "So please come," Salom emphasized, solemnly. β
She finished speaking, and gently lowered the glass.
"I'll be waiting for you outside the main hall."
With that, Salom walked out of the temple.
β¦β¦
Robin frowned, a hint of unease welling up in his heart.
The scene is familiar.
The last time was Jessie's invitation to the Frost Keep.
He looked up and looked at the blonde guard not far away.
It just so happened that Kaye was watching him, too.
