Chapter Thirty-Nine: Open Struggle and Secret Fighting
Reinhardt's handsome appearance, personable demeanor, and even the delicacy of a table could not take away his shine, and he chewed caviar slightly, then refused the maid's service, and personally picked up a bottle of yellowish mule. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf Elvis is here, he will recognize that this is a mule made from wild white grapes at their winery, all of which are made to order for the royal family of Euss, and even Elvis rarely has the opportunity to taste it.
Reinhardt poured the white wine into the crystal glass, then raised the glass, his slender fingers gently shook the glass, the posture was graceful and skillful, the clear liquid with white foam on the surface swirled slightly in the glass, reflecting the light of the roof chandelier, with the same indescribable brilliance as the bearer.
"Caviar is precious, but it should be enjoyed with white wine from the eastern part of the empire, otherwise wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing?"
Reinhardt put the glass to his lips and took a sip of caviar, then said with a happy expression on his handsome face.
As a nobleman with a long heritage on the mainland, and even with elegant elven blood, Reinhardt's evaluation of food and wine is definitely not wrong, and his every move is a template that other nobles should follow, so when Reinhardt rotated the wine glass in his hand, the eyes of the people on both sides of the long table were rotating with the wine glass, until he put down the wine glass, and everyone on both sides of the long table also followed suit, first scooped a little caviar with a spoon and chewed it slowly, and then everyone poured a little white wine for themselves, picked up the wine glass and shook it slowly, it is not important whether the combination of mule wine and caviar can make the food more deliciousIt is important that this is the elegant etiquette that a true aristocrat should master to enjoy a good meal.
While Reinhardt was drinking, Alan was also quietly watching, even he couldn't deny the innate demeanor and acquired elegance of the other party, Reinhardt had successfully shifted everyone's attention to himself with just a few simple words and a few actions, and everyone focused on how to enjoy the food like a real nobleman, rather than discussing how precious the food was and where it came from. Perhaps this is the quality that a person with elven blood should have, and his own elven elder is obviously a rough person compared to it, and the so-called half-elf is just an elven race's self-consolation rhetoric.
Alan thought like this, and was actually complacent in his heart for losing the face of the elven elf elder.
Unlike everyone else, Gerald felt lost for the first time, he suddenly realized that his skills in business were useless here, he chewed caviar, but his mouth was so tasteless that he couldn't help but want to taste a glass of white wine to see if he could make the caviar in his mouth delicious.
Mayor Aple, who was sitting opposite Allen, was learning Reinhardt's movements with full attention and a solemn expression, his short and thick fingers were a little clumsy, and in the process of shaking, he often let the drink overflow because of the uncontrollable rhythm, and on a few occasions it almost spilled on his clothes, making him scramble for a while.
"Huh..."
Seeing Aple's serious and embarrassed appearance, Selena almost didn't laugh, and quickly took a sip of wine to cover it up.
"Haha! Since His Excellency the Earl likes this, he will enjoy it more, and we will pay next year's tax in advance. ”
Hollanster was one of the few people who had no interest in Reinhardt's elegant manners, neither envious nor disappointed, and did not show any displeasure in the act of taking away the light of his master in a few actions of the Reinhardt district, and instead laughed and said, after saying that he raised his glass high:
"Cheers to the prosperity of the empire and the peace and prosperity of the city-state!"
"Cheers!"
This is the ancient city of Auglans, and Hollander has regained the place where his master should have in a word, and everyone has not yet tasted whether the effect of mixing white wine and caviar is really as Reinhardt said, so they have to raise their glasses with Holland's voice. After drinking this glass of wine, the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became warm, and the sound of knives and forks rubbing against plates and the sound of wine glasses colliding one after another.
Alan has no interest in food, just holding a silver glass and slowly tasting the rum one by one, this wine tastes good, mellow taste, long aftertaste, if Alan is still dissatisfied, it is not spicy enough, Alan still likes to drink stronger wine. Taking advantage of the opportunity to drink, Alan also constantly observed the other people at the same table, especially Reinhardt and Gerald who were sitting opposite, the conversation between the two people and Hollanster just now also attracted his attention, although the three of them said in a relaxed tone that it was just a joke, but Alan could still feel the mystery under the joke, not only was he the object of the Hepburn family and the Yuss Empire on behalf of the Holy See, but so was Holance, and caviar and white wine were symbols of the benefits they gave to Holance, but Holancet's power was stronger, making Juss more vigilant while fighting for himThis not only made Allen full of worries about the so-called Godsa revival of Holancest. Vettels is not the emperor of Busman Roland, who is so happy with his achievements that he can't even control the Bols bandits. If he knew about Holance's ambitious plan, he would definitely give Thunder a blow, and he would never give Holland a chance to make a comeback, it didn't matter if the Ogu family fell, I was afraid that hundreds of thousands of Gosa descendants would suffer with him, including Steven in the ancient city of Aurant.
Would you like to consider Yus's invitation?
Alan thought about it, but he quickly dismissed it.
On the surface, Yus seems to be much stronger than the ancient city of O, but in fact he is more vulnerable, because his opponent is more powerful, think about the methods used by Dis Hepburn against the elves, if it were not for the sideways intervention of his own "god pawn", I am afraid that the elves have already embarked on a journey to emigrate overseas.
Alan remembered what happened on the night of the murder of Gabriel Hepburn, and the Phelps family, one of the three major families of Yuss, was clearly inextricably linked to the Holy See. Can Wittels-Yous really deal with Tees Hepburn? He was deeply skeptical.
The rest of the banquet did not have any further episodes, and continued in a pleasant atmosphere, with Holland talking and laughing with the people at the table, and everyone except Gerard was in high spirits. After eating a little at random, drinking a few glasses of wine, and seeing that everyone had eaten almost enough, Hollanster took the initiative to stand up, walked to his wife's side, leaned down and whispered in her ear:
"Madame, let's dance together, and then you should go back and rest early. ”
Madame Ogu took her husband's hand and stood up, and the two of them walked to the center of the hall, where a circular clearing was set aside for the dance floor.
As soon as the band's music changed, the soothing tune became rhythmic and clear, Hollanster stretched out his right hand to wrap his arms around his wife's slender waist, and with a twist of his body, the two of them slid onto the dance floor and started the first dance of the dance party tonight.
When the first dance was finished, to the applause of the crowd, Madame Ogu confessed her guilt and, with the support of her servants, took the lead in leaving the hall. Although it was a little rude for the hostess to choose to leave the venue as soon as the ball began, most of the guests present did not show any dissatisfaction, and they seemed to have been mentally prepared for this.
