Chapter 505: Banquet
No matter how weak Luna's heart is, in the end, she is still defeated by her grandfather's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and in the face of her grandmother's murderous gaze, Ethan provides two bottles of high-grade wine in the attention of Ethan's "good to go".
Don't look at these two bottles of wine, but the wine bottles in this world may be because there are no high-quality wines before, but they are actually a bit big, much bigger than the mass-sold large barrels of Coke in Luna's previous life.
So although these two bottles of wine don't seem to be much, they are enough for the old Marquis Latour to have a drunken barbecue with three or five friends.
It is also for this reason that although the old Marquise Latour looked at the grandparents and grandchildren who were muttering head-to-head and muttered with bad eyes, she did not come forward to stop it, but only expressed her dissatisfaction with the old man's disrespect for the old man and the disguised connivance of the little granddaughter, so that both of them could understand in their hearts that it was good to stop in moderation.
The old Marquis Latour received the filial piety of his granddaughter, so he went upstairs happily, as if he had gone two houses, and it was not him who was dumb for his granddaughter's actions.
"You! just indulge your grandfather!"
Seeing that her old man had gone upstairs, the old Marquise Latour walked up to Luna and poked her in the head again, gritted her teeth, but she couldn't help laughing at first, and said,
"It's been a day, I'll go up and see the old thing first, you two little ones also pay attention to the time, don't be late for the banquet at Raphael's house. ”
"Got it, Grandma. ”
"I'll remind my cousin, grandmother don't worry. ”
Luna and Ethan spoke almost in unison, and when Luna realized what Ethan had said, she turned her head and glared at him.
Ethan didn't care at all, and raised an eyebrow at Luna with a smile, as if to say, "I'm not convinced that you bite me!"
Luna rolled her eyes back, got up and dragged the butler to the kitchen.
She was going to take advantage of the time to eat first.
There was no shortage of food at the party, but it was also a childhood event for Luna.
The small cubs stare at the food and eat violently, which is cute, has a good appetite, and is a sign of robustness, but once they reach a certain age, it becomes a matter of upbringing to feast on the banquet, and its double standard is simply outrageous.
In particular, after more than ten years of observation, Luna has not found anything different except that each banquet will have special dishes for guests to taste, the same process, the same faces, and even the content of the conversation, most of which are changed soup without changing medicine.
This is also the reason why, in recent years, Luna has not attended banquets unless necessary and unavoidable.
In Vera's words, even the simplest pleasure of eating has been stripped away, so what is left?
Luna agrees.
That night, when the moon was rising, the streets in front of Raphael's mansion, which had always been quiet, were surprisingly lively, with various animal carts marked with different emblems, shuttling back and forth.
Because it was a formal occasion, even if Luna wanted to share a car with the old Marquis Latour and his wife, it was unlikely, so she could only sit in her own animal cart and enter the front yard of Raphael's house first through a special lane specially set aside on the side of the road.
"Your Highness. ”
As soon as Susie got out of the car, the servant who stood at the door to greet the guests had already bowed and curtsied, and when Luna got out of the car, the old Marquise de Casa, with her daughter-in-law and accompanied by the butler, had already come out to greet her.
"Greetings to Your Highness, may the gods bless you always. When Luna stood still, the old Marquise de Casa and her daughter-in-law unfurled her skirt.
"Old Marquise, Madame Raphael, get up quickly. Luna quickly stepped forward and pulled them up, with an impeccable smile on her face and a sigh in her heart.
The old Marquise Latour was older than her grandmother, because she had lived with her husband on the coast since she was young, in fact, the joints were not very good, and Luna often came and went over the years, and Luna also helped the old Marquis of Casa to dispense medicine, and also helped her to dispense some medicine to relieve joint pain.
"Your Highness is a rare guest, as it should be. The old Marquise de Casa took Luna's hand and looked at her with a smile, although the words were still very official, but compared to ordinary politeness, from the physical closeness, everyone could see the same.
"Mother, Your Highness, let's go inside!" Katie reminded when she saw that Luna's cart had left, and that the cart that had been blocked behind had already entered the courtyard.
"Okay, let's go inside. The old Marquise de Casa patted Luna, who was holding her, and turned around with a smile.
In the moment of turning, Katie leaned into Luna's ear and whispered:
"I left room on the third floor for you and Vera and a few of the boys, and when you get tired, you go up and rest. ”
"Thank you, Aunt Katie. Luna bowed her head slightly when she heard this, and winked at Katie, knowing that this was telling her to go upstairs when she was hungry, and to eat and drink!
Leaving Katie at the door, the old Marquise de Casa led Luna into the Raphael house, which had been decorated with all kinds of dazzling gold and silver objects inlaid with precious stones or pearls.
Luna didn't come early or late, at this time there were already a lot of nobles gathered in the hall, as always, they were talking together, although there were many people who saw Luna along the way, but because of the master's family on the side, most of the nobles still had a lot of eyesight, basically nodding their heads, and would deliberately go up very little.
Of course, this also means that there will be a lot of staring at Luna before she is separated from the host of the banquet.
Luna had long been accustomed to this, and she quickly swept through the people in the hall at this time, with her familiarity with Raphael's mansion, she would not be unable to get rid of some people who were interested in stepping forward, and she was unwilling to deal with them.
The old Marquise de Casa took Luna to the three grandchildren of the old Marquis of Casa, surrounded by some of the older generations, and Luna was no stranger to Gotte's relationship, and talked with everyone, most of them also greeted Gote and asked her to say hello to the king and his wife on his behalf.
Luna had already been able to deal with this kind of stylized communication, and when the conversation was almost over, Fleming took his son and directly found an excuse to pull Luna away.
It's just that Fleming is the master of the house, and the old Marquis of Casa is too old to speak, and before he can say a few words, he is called away by the butler who hurried from outside the door, leaving only Luna and Carlos.
Camila ...... She...... Are you alright?" asked Carlos after a brief exchange with Luna.
