2-054 Ruins & Supper
In the past, the banquet used up a whole week of preparation time, but this time the situation was more special, and some well-known businessmen at home and abroad were invited to the banquet. The alchemists and craftsmen were not on the banquet list www.biquge.info the alchemists. But the most important members of the Pioneer Association were invited.
Four days later, guests and their retinues arrived at the dukedom by boat or carriage.
Until the beginning of the banquet, there are still guests rushing to the banquet. It can be seen that this is ostensibly a banquet, but in essence, it is a meeting to share the spoils.
Chirness's two older brothers and a married sister also unexpectedly returned from all parts of the dukedom to attend the feast. Although they were all born to the same father, these four siblings have completely different personalities. The boss, Olamos, has a reckless personality and a tendon in his head. The body is also unusually strong, and he is an important military attache in the north of the dukedom. However, the second eldest is very different from the boss, he is wise enough to assist the mayor of the city of Dorafana located under the Dorafana Mountains on the west side of the dukedom, and also govern the city in an orderly manner. The third sister married far away to Count Yogolo, whose territory was located on the southern side of the Jamon Kingdom, and played the role of a good wife and mother. This time, when she came, she also brought her own son, Chernith's nephew, Duro.
And the three brothers, their faces and hearts do not match. The eldest and second in particular saw Chiernis as a stumbling block in their succession to the dukedom. Oppose him at every turn. But Chirness had no intention of competing with them for the title of bullshit duke, he only wanted to be able to explore as he pleased, even if he died in a foreign country without complaint. For this reason, when the eldest and second meet Chirnes in his father's absence, he often curses him for how far he will die, and Chirnith reacts with a smile. How far away is it to die, how far away is not what he wants? He even thought about the epitaph on his own tombstone, that is, how far away he died.
After the banquet began, the guests entered the venue one after another, and all kinds of brightly dressed men and women gathered in groups in the vast hall, happily chatting about various gossip from various countries and regions recently.
Chirnith didn't want to participate in this kind of smoky banquet, he didn't want to, and he still didn't. His heart had already flown to the New World, and he wished to go back as soon as possible to relieve the beast tide crisis, and then form an expedition team to explore the unknown.
But things in the world aren't just the way you want to go. Under the repeated persuasion of the old man, and even agreed to him to form an expedition in the name of the duke, he was unwilling and reluctantly changed into a banquet dress. I joined the banquet head-on.
Eating the seemingly delicious dishes and drinking the crystal-clear wine made Chiernis miss the days of the last two months in the New World. Every day is to throw it to the restaurant of the Fairy Spring to eat and drink, even if he is driven away by Suna with a broom, and he feels pain and happiness when he rolls his eyes by Achea. But I didn't mean that I not only had a tendency to be bent, but also showed signs of developing towards Shake M.
Only, he found two familiar figures in the hall.
The fourth princess was wearing a light green low-cut princess dress, and the princess crown on her head seemed to be newly changed. Long blond hair sits over her shoulders and she wears a pair of white gloves. A smile on his face was laughing with a bloodless lady.
And who was Artsleia beside her? She was now wearing a pink off-the-shoulder lady outfit, and her slightly chubby figure was just the right amount to show a groove. Long brown hair is coiled on the head under the anchorage of the ornament. The ornament was a butterfly-shaped hairpin that Elchea gave her before leaving. The whole butterfly is carved from an unknown piece of crystal, reflecting seven different colors of light in the light of the magic lamp in the hall.
Arsleia soon spotted Chirnith in a night gown as well. She gently poked the fourth princess who was still chatting with the noble lady with her arm. At her hint, the fourth princess soon spotted Chirnith on the side.
After parting with the noble lady very politely, she actually walked up to Chirnith with her skirt in front of everyone.
"Servant, talk to Princess Ben in another place. Her voice was soft, for fear that others would hear it, and then ruin her ladylike image.
Chirness had no choice but to follow her to the balcony.
Seeing that there was no one around, the fourth princess first slapped a few pink punches in Chirnith's chest, indicating that she was venting (sure enough, it was tsundere).
Next, Arsleia ignored the fourth princess's gaze and gave Chirness a big hug. The fourth princess muttered to her too. Arsleia had no choice but to give him one as well.
"My sister is the best. The fourth princess smiled happily again.
"Why are you here? Aren't you grounded?"
"Your Majesty asked us to come, saying let's see you. By the way, let the four princesses scatter their hearts. ”
"These things are really unpalatable, even worse than those in the palace. It's almost the same for those civilians to eat. It's still the cook in the New World who makes something much better. The fourth princess kept complaining that the food here was unpalatable. In this regard, Chirnith was powerless to complain, and could only express silence.
In those days on the new road, she didn't follow Chiernis to eat, and what was even more terrifying was that she didn't gain weight at all after eating so much. On the contrary, Arsleia has always controlled herself, and she does not dare to eat too much delicious food.
"Those people are very hypocritical, and what they say is completely different from what they think in their hearts. I hate doing things like this the most. "I kept complaining about this and that, and in the end I still had to pretend to be a lady on important occasions. It was only when she was with Chiernis that she could take off her disguise without any scruples.
Both on the surface and in private, the banquet continued.
In the basement of the castle, the spoils of various countries are still being stolen. For what the Jiameng Kingdom came up with this time, all countries were very dissatisfied. Even if there are finished products such as mana potions and battle crystals (not war crystals) for various purposes, they are not enough to satisfy the appetite of various countries in terms of quantity. Especially this time, there are very few raw materials that can be taken out, and the reason for this is that Duke Duolun, the representative of the Jiameng Kingdom, can't say why, which causes the three empires to be quite dissatisfied, and even almost tore his face by flipping the table.
In this regard, the duke has repeatedly stated that he will give more compensation to countries next time. In this way, the resentment of various countries was barely suppressed.
