Chapter 30: The Banquet (Collect!)

In the city of Intramus, on the bustling streets of the inner city, Sally stayed by Chris's side and listened to Chris introduce him to some interesting places in the inner city. Although Sully was not so interested, he nodded cooperatively. Sully was followed by two knights of the Guard.

The inner city is built in an extremely majestic way, without the modern high-rise buildings of the previous cities, but its architecture has its own characteristics.

"Cousin, how are you?" said Chris picked up a certain blue straw hat from the vendor's stall next to him and put it on his head.

"It's beautiful. "Sally is not flattering, Chris is a rare beauty, and that blue sunhat really matches her.

"Boss, how much is this?"

"Beautiful young lady! ”

"Hmm!" Chris nodded, ready to pay.

"I'll do it!" Sally pressed his hand lightly on Chris's arm, stopping Chris from pulling out the money.

Chris glanced at Sally and smiled, "Okay!"

Sally gave the knight a look, and the knight behind him immediately stepped forward to pay.

Ten copper coins is really not expensive, it is only equivalent to ten yuan in Sully's previous life.

............

Chris wore a blue sunhat and walked side by side with Sally down the street, and Chris introduced Sally to the famous buildings as he went.

On the street, an open-top carriage slowly passed by Sully, and on it sat two delicately dressed aristocratic ladies.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped. A noble lady stuck her head out and looked at Sally.

"Hey! Chris. Miss Noble shouted.

"Merry. Chris responded.

"Who is this?" said the noble lady in the carriage, looking at Sally.

"Oh. Melly, this is my cousin, Sally Wright. ”

"Cousin, these two are my friends, this is Merry Mellon and this is Beth Rens. ”

"The Wright family?" muttered the aristocratic lady named Merry.

"Miss Merry, Miss Beth, hello. Sally greeted. Mellon and Lens are the surnames of the twelve nobles of the royal city.

"Hello, Mr. Sully!" said the two together.

"By the way, Chris, are you going for afternoon tea this afternoon?"

"I'm not going today. Chris said.

"Oh well. But don't forget the evening party. ”

"I see. Chris said.

"That's good. Let's go. ”

The carriage slowly departed.

.............

"Cousin, why don't you go with us to the banquet in the evening. ”

"What does that have to do with me?"

"It was no ordinary banquet, it was attended by some aristocratic young ladies and sons. Didn't you just come to Wangcheng? Just take this opportunity to get acquainted with the circle of Wangcheng. ”

Sully fell silent.

"Sometimes, princesses come to banquets!" Chris continued.

"The prince will be there too, right?" said Sally, seeing through Chris's thoughts.

"It's going to be a yes, but it's with my cousin.... Isn't it, cousin, you...."Chris looked surprised, as if he had discovered some terrible truth!

"I... What a defeat for you!"

"Can I attend the party? I mean, don't you need any invitations or anything like that?" said Sally. This sentence also indicates that he intends to attend that banquet. Being able to fully see the nobles of the royal city, of course he will not let go of such an opportunity. This is a great opportunity for him to integrate into the aristocratic circle. Only by integrating into it can he also get in touch with more. If there is a heresy hidden in the royal city, it must be above the awakened body. Heresy of this level, if it is hidden in the royal city, can it still cooperate with beggars?

"No, as long as you show yourself to be from the Wright family. Chris said.

......................

In the afternoon, the afterglow shone in the royal city.

On the main street of the inner city, next to a horse-drawn carriage.

"Chris, do you need me to send you back?" said Sally.

"No need, cousin. The inner city is very safe. Don't forget the evening party!" Chris said as he stepped into the carriage.

"Hmm!"

"Well, I'll call you in the evening. Goodbye, cousin!"

"Goodbye. ”

Chris motioned to the coachman, and the carriage moved slowly.

"Escort her back. Sally said to a knight beside him.

"Yes!" a knight immediately followed the carriage, which could not go too fast in the inner city.

The knight he brought out this time was at the official knight level.

Sally himself took the remaining knight and walked down the street against the sunset, slowly returning to the manor.

Think about something by the way.

There was no doubt that Chris was enthusiastic about him, but that enthusiasm made him feel like he had no source.

Could it really be because of the friendship when I was a child?

Sully didn't receive that memory, probably because he was too young at the time.

Of course, it could also be because of his identity. Or rather, he spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

........................

In the evening, the sun had completely set. Sally was waiting in front of a carriage with two knights standing beside him.

"Step, step!" sounded the sound of horses' hooves. In a few moments, a carriage appeared in Sully's sight, followed by two knights on horseback. The carriage approached, then stopped.

The coachman pulled back the curtain and Chris peeked out of the carriage.

"Cousin. Chris exclaimed.

"Well, Chris, let's go!" said Sally.

"Good. With that, Chris lowered the curtain and returned to the carriage. The coachman slowly turned the carriage around.

At this time, Sally also walked into the carriage. "Follow them. Sally said.

"Yes. "This is a carriage belonging to the Wright family, and the coachman is also a servant in the manor.

The wheels of the carriage turned slowly. The two carriages left one after the other. Two of Sally's bodyguards also rode along.

It's not that a carriage can't seat two people, it's just that in the aristocracy, unless a husband and wife or a person who has already decided on a relationship between a man and a woman, men and women generally don't share a carriage. This can give outsiders the wrong signal.

The carriage does not go fast, this is the rule of the inner city, a kind of speed limit like the rule.

On both sides of the street, large bonfires are lit at intervals to light up pedestrians and roads. These campfires are manned.

At this time, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and there are many vendors selling various items on both sides. The world has developed the rudiments of night markets. These vendors are not residents of the 2nd arrondissement, but they are happy to come here to sell their wares.

The two carriages drove slowly by, and Sally pulled the curtains on both sides of the carriage and looked at the street with interest.

The carriage traveled for a long time and finally stopped at a splendid palace.

Sully stepped out of the carriage and looked at the palace in front of him. While shopping, Chris also introduced to him about the palace, which seems to have been built by the royal family. It is said that it is a gift from the king to the third prince when he is eighteen years old.

Later, the third prince often held some banquets here, inviting nobles of all sizes in the inner city. Over time, it became a regular meeting place for the nobles of the royal city.

This palace is called Juying Palace.
