Eddie shrugged and said, "That'...... Okay. ”

Catherine laughed happily, and then said, "That's right, as a magician, you are a high-ranking existence, of course, you have to pay attention to etiquette." ”

"You're right, so where do we start?"

Catherine pointed her finger to her lips and thought for a while, then said, "Let's start with the meeting etiquette first." ”

After saying that, Catherine began to say: "As a nobleman, both parties need to observe certain etiquette in order to show respect. ”

Eddie nodded, looking serious.

"First of all, there is the handshake ceremony, which is suitable for peers or friends. However, if it is a man and a woman, you have to wait for the woman to reach out to the man before he can hold it. ”

With that, Catherine stretched out her right hand to Eddie and motioned for the other party to return the salute.

Eddie was stunned for a moment before reaching over to hold his hand with the other party.

Catherine's small hand was slightly cool and soft, and it was also the first time Eddie had physical contact with the other party. However, it was Eddie who pulled his hand out first.

Catherine smiled slightly and continued, "The hugging ceremony is a etiquette that applies to acquaintances and friends. ”

"Two people stand opposite each other, each with their upper body slightly forward, their right arm up, left arm down, their right hand around each other's left shoulder, left hand around each other's right waist, each other's head and upper body hugging each other's head to one side. First, each hug to the left of the other. Then each hug each other to the right side. Finally, each hugged each other's left side again, for a total of three rounds. ”

Eddie frowned when he heard this: "So troublesome?"

"What's the trouble? Come on, let's try. So saying, Catherine stretched out her hands.

"That's not appropriate, is it?"

Catherine did not put down her hands and said: "Don't think too much, this is the normal etiquette between nobles, only express sincere friendship or affection!"

"Good ......" Eddie had no choice but to hug her three times as Catherine had taught her.

Eddie sighed softly, "Anything else?"

Catherine looked delighted, and said, "Of course, nodding and bowing, you should have seen that." ”

Catherine then explained: "When aristocrats meet each other, if you don't need to shake hands and hugs, you can also use a nod salute, and if you are facing someone higher than you, you need to put your left hand in front of your right chest and bow down to say hello." If you have a hat, take it off. ”

Indeed, this was what the Fowler City Lord did before.

Anyway, Catherine motioned for Eddie to do it once.

Eddie slowly raised his left hand and placed it on his right chest, bowing slightly to the other party.

Catherine smiled, lifted her skirt with both hands, her knees bent slightly, and nodded at Eddie.

"And one last one, the kiss hand. ”

"A hand kiss?"

Catherine blinked and said, "Yes, kiss hand." However, the kiss is a ritual used only when meeting the king, queen or the bishop of the Holy See. ”

"When you meet a king and queen, you get down on one knee and kiss each other's fingers as a sign of respect. If you are meeting the bishop of the Holy See, it is the bishop's ring that is kissed. ”

Catherine glanced at Eddie and raised her right hand, palm down, fingertips drooping.

"Why? Do you want to do this?" asked Eddie quickly.

Catherine flashed a hint of disappointment, put her hand down and said, "Forget about this, I'm not a queen anyway." ”

Eddie calmed down when he saw the other party put down his hand.

Eddie only has Erin in his heart now, even if he has a crush on Catherine, but that kind of affection is completely different from Erin's, and he doesn't want to hurt Erin because of it.

Catherine smiled reluctantly and said, "But I will also be a queen's ...... in the future," and then there was some sadness in her eyes.

Eddie comforted, "As the princess of the Arden Empire, you will definitely marry a very good prince in the future. ”

Catherine smiled and didn't speak.

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Eddie saw that the other party might have something on his mind, and asked, "Then is there any other etiquette besides these?"

As if awakened from a daze, Catherine smiled and said a little nervously: "Of course, I will teach you table manners next, which is much more complicated than meeting etiquette." ”

Eddie was a little scared when he heard this, but he didn't want to live up to the other party's kindness, so he put on a serious expression.

Catherine returned to normal and said, "Table manners, starting from the number of seats, the table of the nobility is generally rectangular, the host sits on the short side, and the guest can only sit after the host is seated. And the host must drink the first glass of wine before the guest can drink it. The most distinguished female guest sits to the right of the host, and the most distinguished male guest sits to the left of the host. ”

Eddie nodded, Catherine and Benjamin were indeed sitting like this today.

Catherine smiled and continued, "And there can be no quarrels at the table, whoever is right and who is wrong will be invited off the table." Don't make loud noises at the table, but you can discuss or sing softly. This is also the reason why everyone at the table at that time was resistant to Viscount Lewis. ”

Eddie nodded, listening carefully to the other man's teachings.

Finally, after half an hour, Catherine finished talking about all the points to be noticed.

"Eddie, these are the most basic etiquette, and as your status rises, you will definitely have more and more contact in the future. ”

Eddie smiled, "To be honest, I really hate these etiquettes, I think it's a constraint on me." ”

Eddie's expression slowly became serious: "I only respect people who respect me, or those who deserve my respect." If it's someone I hate, then I won't bother with him, no matter how high his status is. ”

Catherine said worriedly, "But then you will be excluded from this class?"

Eddie smiled, "I have my own manners and manners. If some manners and manners are imposed on people by this environment, it can only be oppression, and I think that's a bad thing. And, does status matter?"

With that, Eddie looked at Catherine and said slowly, "If I were just an ordinary beginner 5-star magician, would I be eligible for the luncheon? If I didn't have the talent to make them jealous, would they help me as a student?"

"In the face of real strength, status and rules are powerless, the civilian magician named Jiang Hai back then, after decades of hard work, finally stood at the pinnacle of the world, and the rules of the Magic Association and the Church of Light were just child's play for him. ”

At this time, Eddie's eyes were filled with blazing fire, and his whole body boiled and said: "I, Eddie George, will definitely become such an existence, I will be the one who makes the rules!"

Eddie's dissatisfaction is justified, and it is because of these pedantic things that he loses his otherwise happy and happy life.

Catherine looked at the hot-blooded Eddie, as if she saw some kind of hope. She asked Eddie softly, "Eddie, what is our relationship now?"

Eddie regained his composure and said, "We're good friends. ”

Catherine smiled and said, "Eddie, if, I mean, in the future my enemy is the entire royal family or even the entire empire, will you be on my side?"

Eddie listened to Catherine's question, looked at the other party and said firmly: "Don't worry, the most important thing for me Eddie George is affection, and I will spare no effort to support my friend." ”

"Even if you are the enemy of the whole world!"
