Chapter 15 There are rivals in love
"It's delicious!" Stannis devoured as he swept away the food and snacks that had been prepared on the table.
It's been a long time since he's eaten like this, and eating those dark dishes every day has made him lose hope in life.
"Brother Stan, slow down. Anne was anxiously persuaded by the side, she didn't know when her lover had become as hungry as a glutton.
But Stannis didn't pay any attention to her, he took two and three more bites to remove a plate of snails, "This is delicious, Anne will help me make another plate, thank you!"
Anne sighed, she knew that her brother had been so willful since he was a child, she turned her head and wanted to call the maid to come over and go to the kitchen to get another plate of snails, but found that there was no servant around, so she had to go to the kitchen herself.
Stanis patted his belly contentedly, now that he had only eaten an eight-point full, he was ready to pack a little more when he left, and asked Chef Cook to take a good look at what food was.
At this moment, an old man with a hunched waist came up to him, with a kind smile on his face, and kept looking at him with kind eyes.
Stannis, of course, couldn't remember who he was, and he was furious at being stared at.
"Is there anything wrong with you, old gentleman?"
The old man was a little surprised by his question, and he put away his smile, "Why, you don't remember me, Stan, I hugged you when I was a kid?"
"Of course, of course, are you?" Stannis still couldn't remember.
The old man touched his face and sighed, "Sure enough, people change a lot when they get older? I am your Uncle Bernard, and I am an old acquaintance of your father." β
[Sean Bernard], Stannis remembered him, he was a native of the imperial capital, he came to the frontier of the empire very early, and he was also a friend of the old count of the loser, an old friend, who had taken risks together when he was young, but now he didn't know what he was doing.
Now that he already knows the basic information, of course he will not be a goof, Stannis called out enthusiastically as if he had changed his face: "Uncle Sean Bing! Look at my memory, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years!"
Bernard sighed wistfully, his expression dazed, "Yes, I haven't seen each other for sixteen years, and now that I think about it, it's like a lifetime away." Not seeing your father for the last time is the biggest regret of my life. β
Stannis had no choice but to pretend to be sad together.
"Your father is the bravest man I've ever met in my life, and I hope you'll inherit his courage as well. Okay, don't talk about these sad things, Stan, come to me if you have any problems in the future. β
Stannis chicks nodded like rice, but in their hearts they thought, what can an old man do to help him?
The old man patted Stannis on the shoulder, then smiled and left.
At this time, Anne also came over with a plate of steaming snails, and she and the old man passed by, smiling and nodding at each other.
Stannis couldn't wait to snatch the plate of snails in her hand and toss them into her mouth one by one.
"Why were you chatting with Lord Bernard?"
He chewed with relish, barely having time to speak, "How do I know that he himself has told me a lot of things about my father." β
"He's an envoy to the Emperor of Erathia. Anne whispered, "Even Daddy has to give him three points." β
"The Emperor's envoy, it sounds very powerful. Stannis stopped chewing and started thinking, it looks like this is a great guy.
Anne shook her hand in front of his eyes, "Hey, are you full?"
Stannis retracted his gaze, "What's wrong?"
Anne playfully snatched his hand away, then took his hand and walked to the center of the hall, "Of course it's dancing." β
"Don't, don't!" Stannis fears nothing more than dancing, both in real life and in this fantasy world.
His fiancΓ©e pouted, "You finally came once, and you can fulfill my little wish!"
Stannis tried to get away with it, but found himself on the dance floor, and Anne in front of him was already dancing, and she spun around him with laughter, her skirt spinning in a perfect whirl.
"Come on, Brother Stan!"
He sighed, but fortunately he still remembered how to dance this dance.
But just as he started to launch the [Dancing King] stunt, he was pushed hard behind him, and then he fell into a standard.
"Oops. Anne screamed in fright, and then hurriedly stepped forward to support Stannis, "Brother, are you okay?"
Stannis fell hard, grinning in pain.
He endured the pain and looked up to see who had pushed him, only to find that there was a blonde man standing there where he had been standing at this time, and the guy's eyes flashed with pride, although he was handsome in appearance, he gave people a sinister feeling.
"I'm so sorry, Your Excellency Justine, I was dancing so engrossively just now that I didn't expect to bump into you. He laughs.
Isn't that a little sorry!, Stannis watched the suspicious-looking guy crackle angrily.
"Garo, what are you doing, you!" Anne behind her was the first to fight for her.
The guy named Garo shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "It's nothing, I'm just telling you with actual actions that this weak guy doesn't deserve a woman like you." β
Stannis remembered the guy who had been pursuing Anister before she had even reduced and hated himself.
"You guy, your taste is too curious. Stannis stood up with his head covered.
"Don't talk nonsense, I've coveted Miss Anne for a long time, and you don't deserve her. β
"She likes me, and I can't help it~~ Being handsome is a privilege~~" Stannis said in a tone that was almost underwhelming.
Sure enough, this kind of provocation made the other party angry, "Women are only worthy of the strong, come on, duel! You and I, let her see who is the man who is worthy of her!"
"You guy, you're really full of the breath of middle school all over your body. Stannis couldn't help but complain.
Garo didn't mind at all, he drew his sword, and the people around him immediately dodged away to make a clearing for them.
"I've heard that everyone in the Justinian family has the blood of a true dragon in their veins, and that they have great power from birth, and that they are either the most legendary warriors or legendary mages, and I would love to see them today. β
Oh!? Stannis didn't know he had the talent of the family, and he immediately searched his stomach to find out what his profession was.
Is it a legendary warrior in a god costume? Or is it a god of destruction who calls for wind and rain? Could it be that he is a genius who can cultivate both things and demons?
But after the excitement of searching, there was no gain, and it didn't seem to add any points to the battle.
It's over, is it possible that after I crossed over, this body was also washed again?
"Let's duel! Let her see who is the one who is brave. Garo was still there saying the words of the middle two.
Stannis looked at Anne next to him, hoping she could help him out.
only to find that this woman looked at herself with a crazy look, like a fan girl.
"Brother Stan, come on, I'm quite confident in your swordsmanship!"
Cold sweat instantly soaked his entire back, and today it looked like not only could he not get money, but he would also have to splatter blood for five steps.
