(The new January begins、Ask for a monthly pass!! ）

With the recitation of the attendants, in the entire vast palace hall that could accommodate thousands of nobles for dining, it was once audible that the needles fell.

Everyone cast a different look at the door. There was surprise, shock, curiosity, and even hostility.

For the thousands of nobles of Shigang City here, most of them had never seen a nobleman with such a prominent reputation and such a high status.

"Prince of House Reinhardt? Oh, welcome, distinguished guests from afar! ”

This slightly abrupt voice came from the front of the palace, and the owner of Stone Hills, the Earl of Bourmer, sat high in a magnificent armchair.

Under the delicate crown, the short hair is like a layer of white frost, a pair of big eyes have sunken deeply, a pair of rough hands, grasping the guard, the back of the hand is crawling with earthworm-like blood vessels, the weather-beaten face is carved with wrinkles, and the forehead lines and eye corners are heavy like furrows. The two small eyes were only afraid that they were more muddy than the puddles of water trampled by the horses' hooves.

"Oh, Reinhardt, what are you doing here? I don't know the Duke of the North. ”

Earl Bulmore's dementia had already made him terminally ill.

Emotional responses become weaker and more incoherent, and there are often unreasonable words and actions.

I don't remember what happened in the last second, what I said. He struggled to open his old dizzy eyelids, his vision was reduced to the point where he could not see more than five meters away, his judgment was lost, and he continued to shake his fingers and make some repetitive movements.

"Oh! Who do you say you are? ”

This was the third sentence of the old Earl of Bulmer's speech in a minute.

"Don't worry, my Lord Earl, it's your archon. to handle it for you. ”

Next to the old Earl of Bourmer, the middle-aged nobleman in gorgeous clothes nodded and smiled at the old and dizzy earl, and some shallow fishtail marks appeared in the corners of his eyes. He has short thick and shiny hair, and he is very black.

But from his pale blue sunken eyes, Aaron could detect the insatiable look in them. The lips that are often pursed forcefully under the high bridge of the nose show the sporadic vitality that belongs to this face.

"The heroic Reinhardt family, respected by the world. It's a pity that the northern continent is being tested by war, and since the death of the old duke, the people of the Reinhardt family. It has dragged down the reputation of the ancestors. Your Royal Highness Prince Aaron, if you have any objections to this wedding feast, I can immediately ask the guards to expel you. But if you have other important things to do, and have gone to great lengths to come to Shigang City, I represent Lord Earl. You are welcome to take a seat and enjoy this sumptuous feast. …… On a side note, my name is Nîmes. Chief Archon of Stone Gang City. He is also the host and witness of the marriage between Shigang City and Eagle's Nest City. ”

The nodding salute between the nobles, to put it thoroughly, is the etiquette between peers or peers, and it is obvious that this chief consul of Shigang City, Nimes, is making an arrogant and insulting act.

But it has to be said. The cunning and insidiousness of this man made Aaron still look at him squarely.

The other party's voice was already obvious, "The Reinhardt family is no longer the Reinhardt of the past, you better be honest." If there is something to ask for in Shigang City, it is equivalent to asking Lao Tzu, and it is best to talk about it later. ”

Thinking about the other party's words, in Aaron's eyes, the chief consul Nim received great benefits from Eagle's Nest City, and it was obviously he who personally facilitated this marriage.

And in the next scene, Aaron quickly recognized that this court was actually on the same page, planning to rebel against the nobles, their target and enemy, and the reality was to control the archon of the old earl's family.

"Welcome, Your Royal Highness the Prince."

The archon Nim's enemy is, of course, his friend.

Several old and old-fashioned nobles, although only pretentious, showed a very serious expression when they looked at Aaron, the white beard on their chin next to the upturned bow tie, and each with a medal on their chest, silently, stood up with a smile, and bowed.

…………

Aaron's face was indifferent, the nobles of Shigang City, who would be splashed with blood in the court today, obviously he didn't care, and there was no need to reason.

From the first step into the hall, Aaron felt a warm scent, mixed with the scent of flowers, clothes, meat, and vegetables.

Stimulated by these smells, the stomach couldn't help but constrict. Apparently, he was a little hungry.

Reflected in the perspective of Lidong, the most direct impression is that the boiled red claws of lobsters stick out of the plate, and large fruits are stacked layer after layer on the moss of the hollow flower basket; The candles on the candelabra appear to have a longer flame on the silver bell jar. Decent cutlery, shrouded in opaque water vapor, refracted with a faint glow.

The two colors of surprise and timidity converge on this little red face.

Under the service of his attendants, Aaron took off his cloak.

The tattered placket looks out of place in this luxurious palace hall. And in the secret ridicule of many nobles, Aaron took Lidong's hand and walked barefoot in front of everyone. Walking all the way to the end of the corner, I naturally used a knife and fork to cut off a piece of beef and put it on Lidong's plate.

"Lidong, tell my brother what you want to eat, and I'll help you clip it."

Being in a luxurious palace, facing delicacies that he would not normally think of, and being watched by thousands of nobles, Lidong obviously did not dare to be casual.

But encouraged by Aaron's smile, she consciously cut off those gazes and began to eat in small bites.

On the long dining table in front of him, in addition to the sumptuous food, there were clusters of flowers, arranged in a straight line, and the napkins were folded like a woman's collar and placed on a wide-brimmed plate, and in the middle of each fold was a small oval loaf of bread.

Aaron had many court etiquettes in his head, including elaborate and elegant dining movements.

But he was not going to comply, as he laughed at himself in his heart, "The graceful and clumsy act of dining belongs to this group of brightly dressed reptiles at the moment." For an emperor who has recovered from a serious injury, has suffered serious blood loss, and has been hungry for three days, filling his stomach and recovering his strength is the most important thing. ”

While reaching out to grab the bread and swallowing it heavily, Aaron still had the second half of the sentence in his heart, "A conqueror doesn't have to care about the eyes of a group of dead people......"

If Aaron ignored the chief consul and ignored a few marquis nobles just now, his temperament of being dressed in rags but sitting indifferently attracted the attention of many nobles of Shigang City and the suspicion of some mysterious directions.

So at this moment, his vulgar way of eating, coupled with an unkempt little girl beside him, made many nobles in an uproar. It seemed that everyone's heart was sneering, "The bullshit prince of the North, this is clearly a beggar, an impostor, and a daring and arrogant sinner who desecrates the palace." ”

Although everyone understands this in their hearts, but no one stands up to challenge and question the strange atmosphere. Because it doesn't matter what happens next.

But nothing is absolute, and at this time, there is always one or two self-righteous fools who will pay attention to this despicable and worthless corner of the palace.

This man was apparently the eldest son of the old Earl of Bulmer, and the titular successor to the title, Wakeman.

"Oh, Prince Aaron, from the North, with all due respect, may I ask you, the House of Reinhardt, have been reduced to the point of having no clothes to wear and nothing to eat in the face of the attacking armies of the West? Oh, that's pathetic. ”

As the protagonist of the wedding feast, the Earl's son, Wakeman, sat on an ornate chair on the steps like his father, and beside him were his brother and his two new wives, who were about to marry his brother.

Leather trousers, tights, linen shirt, pink silk collar. The Wakeman brothers are dressed fashionably and flamboyantly today.

Although he has some dark spots on his face, it is not noticeable under the handsome hat, especially with Waikman and a specially grown mustache.

Interrupted by an ignorant fool about his meal, Aaron raised his head and looked straight at the area on the steps, he squinted at the fool whose head was already hanging from his trouser belt and didn't know it, and quipped, "Believe me, inferior nobleman, my crown is a thousand times more gorgeous than yours, but my servant is late......"

I have to admit that Aaron's joke is more like an aristocrat than his dress behavior, and many people are amused by this sentence, and no one seems to believe that this can be true.

Perhaps no one knew that Aaron's jokes and jokes were just a kind of self-deprecation for himself. The second half of the sentence may have brought a little more light-hearted atmosphere to the upcoming fight, but Aaron's gaze stayed in the middle of the stairs far away.

The pair of eyes suddenly became very bright, very deep, and contained a warm light in them, as if his eyes had just been like a line and had not been opened.

Daughter of the Eagle......

The 'Aaron Redeemer' met on the streets......

Aaron's keen pupils sharply overlapped the two figures.

"Wow, won't you?"

Above the palace, Lina, the daughter of the eagle, reached out and secretly pulled Catherine's sleeve, with a strange expression, "Sister, look, isn't this the beggar on the street?" How dare he ......"

At this moment, Catherine seemed to be unaware of Lina's movements, and her eyes were intently watching the 'beggar pretending to be the prince of the North' at the bottom of the steps, and from time to time a warm light shot out from inside.

Catherine held her breath, an indescribable light flashing from her eyes. "Could it really be him?"

Although her face was already beautiful, these eyes often gave her a stronger attraction than beauty.

Compared to yesterday, Lina and Catherine's gorgeous costumes today are very different.

This gorgeous yet subtle maxi dress for weddings is rich in lace, moulle, ribbons, bows, and layers of tailoring.

The folds, shirred and other elements on it, as well as the court styles such as stand-up collar, high waist, princess sleeves, and leg of mutton sleeves, set off the beauty of the two eagle daughters. (To be continued......)
