Mario's voice came from outside the carriage, interrupting Adam's musings.
"Oh, good!" Adam agreed softly, stepping out of the carriage. As soon as Adam got out of the carriage, he let out a breath of turbid air and looked up.
A mansion in front of me came into view, with two stone lions placed in front of the tall mansion, and strange crowds were constantly being led into the door by the attendants in front of the mansion. Adam glanced at it, and most of these people in front of the mansion Adam didn't know.
I don't know how many nobles from the royal capital Prince Hubert invited to today's dinner.
Many people in the crowd saw Adam's carriage parked in front of the eldest prince's mansion, and also guessed that Adam was the one who came to the banquet, although people didn't know Adam, but most of them guessed in their hearts that this was mostly a child from a noble family in the royal capital.
Adam instructed Mario to park the carriage, and then led the group to the mansion of the Grand Prince, where Mario took out the invitation from his bosom and handed it to the waiter in front of the mansion.
The waiter looked down, and then said respectfully: "It turns out that you are Your Excellency Adam, Your Highness has been waiting inside for a long time, please come with me." β
Adam nodded, and led the others into the house with the attendants.
As Adam and the others went deeper, the scene in front of them gradually opened up, behind the gate was a large courtyard, which was full of flowers and plants, and the fragrance of flowers overflowed in the crowd, which made people feel refreshed together. The waiter led the group through the courtyard and onto a curving corridor lined with crystal clear pools of fish swimming and rockery rocks.
Everyone followed the waiter for about ten minutes and came to the front hall, where the dinner was held.
The waiter respectfully said to Adam: "Your Excellency, Adam, your entourage is too large to be brought into the parlor all together, see if you can pick out a few people, and I will take the others to another place to eat." β
Adam looked around, most of the people who came with one or two retinues, and there were very few of the more than ten retinues like him who followed behind him, and when they came to the front hall, most of the nobles with more retinues handed over their retinues to the attendants.
Adam nodded and said, "Okay, then I'm sorry for you!" Mario, Alexid, you two come in with me. β
The waiter said respectfully: "Your Excellency Adam is too polite, this is what I should do." β
Then the waiter led the way, motioning for the rest of the people to follow him.
Adam took Mario and Alexides and strode into the front hall, where the meeting room was already full of food and low tables, and the nobles sat down one by one under the guidance of the attendants in the hall.
The middle of the parlor was covered with a plush white carpet, and twice there were neatly long flat low tables, which were full of delicacies, and the eyes looked forward to the carpet and the low table, and at the end of the staircase was a low table with the main table.
Behind the low table of the main seat is a screen painted with a feng shui diagram of the rivers and mountains, and the whole living room looks spacious and atmospheric.
After Adam and the others entered, they also followed the waiter to his own low table.
The waiter in front of him had already made a brief handover to the waiter in the living room, and knowing Adam's name, the waiter ushered Adam into the innermost low table and sat down. Adam roughly glanced around, and his position was only a few low tables away from the main table in front of him, relatively close.
After arranging Adam and the others, the waiter bowed slightly and left in silence.
Hubert had not yet appeared, and everyone was talking in whispers, and Adam sat at the low table, and Arizade and Mario stood motionless behind Adam like two pine trees.
Mario is tall and has a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and Alexide is handsome, with pointed ears that reveal his identity as an elf.
Most of the nobles' eyes glanced at Adam, and everyone wondered which son this young man was?
Facing everyone's puzzled and curious eyes, Adam treated it indifferently, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked around with interest.
Obviously, the position of these low tables represents the strength of the forces behind them, the high official positions, the powerful ones, most of the people who come from a small number of people are in the front position, and they are also older, Adam clearly saw that Elder Ying was also among them, and he sat a little outside the door of the low table opposite him.
Most of the young people sat at the low tables outside the door, and on the low tables around the main seat, most of them were old men with white beards.
No, there was a young man sitting at the low table in front of him! Adam looked intently, and the young man was almost in the same position as himself, opposite him. The young man held a book in his hand and looked down with relish, and behind him stood only a short old man's entourage.
As if sensing Adam's scrutinizing gaze, the young man raised his head, smiled at Adam, and then continued to look down at the book.
Adam raised his eyebrows slightly, and muttered with interest: "This young man is a fellow traveler, and he loves to read so much?"
The whispering of the crowd did not last long, and the empty low table gradually filled up with people, and gradually everyone stopped talking, Adam knew that it was time for the Lord to appear, and the young man opposite also put down the book in his hand and nodded at Adam.
Adam raised the cup of tea in his hand at him, and then waited patiently for the main owner of the dinner to appear.
About a quarter of an hour later, hearty laughter came from behind the screen.
"Haha, let everyone wait for a long time! This is the sinful of this king!"
Behind the screen came a dashing man in a black robe, none other than Prince Hubert. Prince Hubert walked over to the low table and sat down, smiling at the crowd.
The nobles stood up and greeted the eldest prince, only a few of the older ones only sat on the throne and nodded, and Adam decided not to get up after much thought, and nodded like the old men.
As if he hadn't seen Adam, Prince Hubert smiled and said to the people who got up: "Everyone sit down, today we will only gather everyone for a small gathering, and do not be formal." β
Everyone nodded yes and sat down one after another, most of the nobles here are eight-sided and exquisite figures, many people noticed that Adam didn't get up just now, everyone secretly looked at Adam, including the young man who also looked at Adam curiously.
And the old men at the front table, most of them frowned and looked at Adam, whose kid is this, so rude!
Seeing Adam drinking tea calmly, everyone wondered in their hearts, who was this person?
This man was either bold or honorable, and everyone speculated in their hearts that it was impossible for the bold man to get acquainted with Prince Hubert and be invited, so it was very likely that Adam was the latter, and only the honorable and the old could see the prince without getting up and saluting.
But when did the Principality of Tianying produce such a young and honorable person? I was born and raised in the capital of Tianying, why don't I know?
Could it be that he is from another country?
After taking their seats, the nobles were full of curiosity about Adam's origins! However, it was limited to the banquet, and it was not good to leave the table to talk.
Prince Hubert looked at everyone with a smile, he knew in his heart that everyone was curious about Adam's origin at this time, most of the nobles present did not know Adam, but Hubert did not take the initiative to find out, let alone introduce Adam's meaning, but laughed.
"I declare that the dinner party begins. β
(PS: Lords, the small update is 45 minutes late and self-punished three cups!!)
