Chapter 68: The Depressing Luncheon
The luncheon was held at the City Lord's Mansion, and it was also Eddie's first time entering the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion, located in the very center of Nance City, is an imposing palace with a total of three floors. But it's much more spectacular than the two-story Magic Guild, and it seems that the empire has invested a lot of money.
The lord of the city, Count Fowler, was appointed by the Empire, while the presidents of the Magic Society, the Mercenary Alliance, and the Mia Chamber of Commerce were sent by the higher branches. As for the deans of each magic academy, they were all slowly promoted from ordinary teachers.
A group of people walked into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, where there were already many leaders of various nobles in Nance City.
Seeing the third prince and Catherine coming, they all stood up and saluted.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, Your Royal Highness the Princess. ”
The Third Prince nodded and saluted them back.
At this time, the three middle-aged people were late, and they should have been very nervous about being late in front of the prince and princess. It's just that the three of them didn't show any anxiety on their faces, but walked towards everyone with joy.
The leader is Joseph, the president of the Nance Magic Society, while the other two are Bill, the president of the Mercenary Alliance, and Wood, the president of the Mia Chamber of Commerce.
Eddie glanced over and saw that the three of them were wearing blue magic robes that symbolized high-level magicians, with four blue stars shining on their chests.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, Your Royal Highness the Princess. Sorry, we're late. Joseph was the first to speak.
The third prince nodded and said, "President Joseph, it doesn't matter. We didn't start eating yet. ”
Wood smiled and took out a small box, handed it to the Third Prince, and said, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince, this is my gift to His Royal Highness the Third Prince on behalf of the South Smia Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Thank you, President Wood. After that, one of the guards stepped out and took the small box, and without opening it, he took it and walked down.
City Lord Fowler smiled and said, "Everyone, please take a seat." ”
With that, Eddie walked towards the table, which was a long rectangular table, with each seat about a seat away.
The Earl of Fowler, as he was the master, sat directly on the main seat, while Catherine sat to his right and Benjamin to his left.
Eddie was stunned, he didn't know where he should sit, and quickly looked at Catherine.
Catherine sat down and noticed Eddie's pleading gaze, and was amused inwardly, thinking that you have today.
"Eddie, sit on my right. Catherine said as she looked at Eddie.
Eddie heard this and walked towards the seat next to him. If you want to talk about fighting or something, it is estimated that no one here is his opponent. Because as early as when he was at the beginning of the 2nd star, Lao Hei told him that he was almost the same as Dean Morgan's strength. And Morgan is also the highest cultivator in the audience, a high-level 5 stars.
But this aristocratic etiquette or table manners, he doesn't understand anything at all.
Just as Eddie was about to sit in that seat, President Wood was walking up to that seat.
At this time, a voice came from the side: "Where did the beginner little ghost come from, is this where you can sit?"
Eddie's anger welled up in his heart when he heard this, and he looked up to see that the man looked like the Sapir he had killed.
At this time, the city lord Fowler also heard the man's words and was about to defend Eddie, but he didn't expect Wood to speak first.
"You're Eddie George? I'll sit next to you. Wood said with a smile on Eddie.
With that, Wood sat down directly next to Eddie, and said, "I hope you don't mind, Viscount Lewis may have said such rude things on such an occasion because of the loss of his son." ”
Only then did Eddie know that the person was Wallace Lewis, and sure enough, both father and son were virtuous.
The third prince also said at this time: "The pain of losing a child is understandable, but in the future, on this occasion, it is better to be calmer." ”
Wallace Lewis regretted this at this time, he didn't expect that they were all protecting that little ghost, he originally thought that it was someone from a small family who sat in the wrong seat.
But Lewis snorted and said, "I'm sorry, I was abrupt." Eddie's little friend is extremely talented, and he is indeed qualified to sit there. ”
City Lord Fowler looked at Lewis and snorted coldly, and said to everyone: "Since there is no problem, then let's start eating." ”
After a while, a person looked at Eddie and said, "Dean Morgan, this is the Eddie George who defeated the mid-level magician with the strength of the beginner 4 stars, right?"
Before Morgan could speak, Lewis interjected again: "Who knows if it's real or fake, what if you don't let him complete the task." ”
Morgan smiled and said, "It's useless for you to question, we all know that Eddie has that strength." ”
The third prince smiled and said, "Eddie is my friend, I hope Viscount Lewis will not deliberately make things difficult for him." ”
After that, the third prince spoke again: "As a nobleman, you have to look like a nobleman." Otherwise, depriving a viscount of the title, this prince can still do it. ”
Lewis was deflated again and did not dare to speak again.
Eddie didn't speak, just ate the food on his plate.
He felt that this luncheon was too depressing, he didn't like it very much, but the atmosphere in the college cafeteria was good and lively enough.
If he hadn't seen Benjamin as a good person, he wouldn't have come to this dinner, it was too uncomfortable. Except for the occasional person talking, the whole table is the sound of singing.
Eddie couldn't stand it anymore, and whispered to Catherine next to him, "It's terrible, isn't it, is this how you eat in the palace?"
Catherine nodded slightly, then said softly, "Hold on a little longer, the luncheon won't last long." ”
Eddie could only smile wryly and continue to eat his food.
......
Finally, after half an hour, everyone had finished eating, and the lord of the city, Count Fowler, was the first to stand up, and the other nobles also stood up one after another.
Just as Eddie stood up, Wood next to him whispered to him, "Eddie, I know that the Lewis family has something to do with you. ”
Eddie's heart twitched when he heard this, how could he know, but said calmly, "President Wood, I don't understand what you mean. ”
Wood smiled: "Don't worry, I can find it out so quickly, it doesn't mean that he can." But if you have anything in the future, you can come to me. With that, Wood walked towards the third prince and talked to him.
Eddie was stunned, and he also understood that Wood was reminding him to be careful in the future. And he also saw that Wood was at odds with the Lewis family.
Catherine then said to Eddie, "Eddie, take me around the city." ”
Eddie nodded, he really didn't want to stay here anymore.
Catherine said to Benjamin, "Brother Emperor, I'll ask Eddie to take me to Nance City, you don't have an opinion." ”
Benjamin smiled and said, "Of course, Eddie, please, I have some things here, see you in the evening." ”
With that, Catherine ran out of the City Lord's Mansion with Eddie in a hurry.
"You finally know why I'm running away this time, right?"
Eddie nodded and said, "It's terrible, if I had been like this for a long time, I would have been suffocated a long time ago." ”
Catherine smiled and said, "Then you taught me survival skills, how about I teach you aristocratic etiquette?"
Eddie said, "You're not kidding, are you?"
"Of course not, how can you say that you are also a baron now, it is not appropriate to understand nothing, right?"
