Chapter 508: Family Banquet
The idea of establishing the Imperial School of Engineering in Cohenas had been in Lucia's mind for a year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A year ago, if Emperor Auston hadn't died in that mutiny, she would have stayed at the Fog City School of Engineering to continue her studies.
Now, although she has taken over the crown as a symbol of succession of power, she has become the first empress in the history of the empire, but her interest in engineering has not diminished at all. Every month she would order someone to bring a monthly journal of truth from Pamplo School City for similar reasons.
Being able to recognize the relationship between engineering and naturalism is Lucia's intelligence, but like most people in this world, Lucia's knowledge is limited by conditions and she has a greater interest in more practical engineering.
However, her idea, in Donner's opinion, was indeed very good.
Using the power of the Empress to establish the Imperial Engineering Academy in Coennas, the scope of influence will obviously be much greater than that of the Fog City Engineering Academy.
However, before the construction of the Imperial College of Engineering began, it was facing a shortage of teachers.
In fact, even at the Fog City School of Engineering, Donner couldn't keep going to class every day, and in the past year, he had been there for less than four months.
The two hundred students who were taken in from the Santan School of Magic last year now spend most of their time studying with sisters Elemanda and Elimia. However, the twin sisters' dwarf status made them unsuitable for teaching in Coenas.
"Why don't you call Danny?" Lucia had spent a year in Foggy City, vaguely remembering that the kid named Danny was the best of the first batch of human cadets.
"You can't let a nineteen-year-old teach at the Imperial Academy of Engineering......" Donner frowned.
Lucia was also silent, Donner was right, it was a bit of a joke.
"I think it would be better for Her Majesty the Empress to teach it herself. Donner laughed suddenly.
"No, no, I haven't fully figured it out myself. Lucia hurriedly waved her hand.
"Your Majesty, don't be modest, you're one of my best students. Donner half-jokingly.
"Hmm...... It's not impossible, but you have to promise me one thing. Lucia said.
"What's the matter?"
"You come to Coenas once a month and give me a lesson for a day. Lucia finally showed her fox tail.
"That's what you're really for, isn't it?" Donner looked at Lucia with a grin.
"Okay?" Lucia took Donner's hand and shook it again, her face looking like a little girl begging for a gift.
"This doesn't look like Her Majesty the Empress......" Donner couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Lucia's coquettish expression.
"Don't you like the feeling that I'm a cold empress in front of others, but a poor little girl in front of you?" Lucia asked softly, holding Donner's arm and leaning into his ear.
Donner was so distracted by her that he looked around, fearing that his embarrassment would be seen, but Richard didn't look at them.
He pulled it gently, and Lucia lay in his arms, her eyes flashing, really like a little girl who was bullied by him.
"I don't necessarily come every month, but I can do as much as I can, okay?" he said, and Lucia suddenly laughed as if she had succeeded in her ruse.
"However, I have something to ask you for. Downer continued.
"Duke of Venne...... Are you still so polite when you're hugging people like that?" Lucia asked, stretching out her arm around Donner's neck and smirking.
"And what should I say?" asked Donner with a smile.
"You should say: Your Majesty, I have something for you to do, and if you don't do it well, you will be spanked......" Lucia said this, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were full of shyness.
"It's not good...... I have a lot of strength. Donner deliberately stretched out his palm and gestured.
Lucia crouched on Donner's chest and whispered inaudibly, "I like your strength......"
......
In the evening, in the palace annex on the outskirts of Coennas, Empress Lucia hosted a banquet for Duke Vaine and his party.
In the splendid dining room, there is an endless stream of servants.
On either side of the long dining table sat Duke of Vane, Count Borg, Richard, the head of the Royal Knights, as well as Una, Layla, and Lolita.
Her Majesty sat at the end of the table, as was customary.
When the servants had finished pouring the wine and serving the appetizers, Lucia still did not announce the opening of the feast, but ordered the servants to prepare all the dishes.
The ceremonial officer, who was in charge of the royal banquet, was confused by Her Majesty's order.
"Your Majesty...... Do you want to serve all the dishes, including desserts?" he asked cautiously.
"You heard you right. Lucia's expression was calm, but there was undoubted majesty in her tone, and the white dress on her body had been changed into a solemn and elegant lilac royal dress, exuding a noble temperament all over her body, and people almost dared not look at it directly.
This temperament is more or less related to the power that the Flowing Cloud Mage exudes between his gestures.
A year ago, Lucia was promoted to a fifth-level mage after taking the Flowing Cloud Elixir that Donato Richard brought to Coennas, and just a few hours ago, under Donner's protection, she drank the second bottle of Flowing Cloud Elixir and was officially promoted to Flowing Cloud Mage.
In fact, this table gathered the largest number of high-level mages in the history of the Huls continent, in addition to Lucia, Donner, Wesley, and Layla are also Flowing Cloud mages, and Una's mage level is ridiculously high.
Of course, of the four magicians, only Donner and Wesley were capable of performing level seven magic. Layla's fireball skills had just reached level 4, Lucia expected it would take two or three years to master bluebird magic, and Una stubbornly refused to learn all magic, and Donna had no choice but to go with her.
After hearing Her Majesty's order, the ceremonial officer hurriedly began to arrange, and it took more than ten minutes to put all the dishes ready, most of which could not be put on the table, so he had to temporarily add a table and place it neatly aside.
After all this, the ceremonial officers and servants withdrew from the dining room under Lucia's instructions.
Only then did Lucia smile at the crowd, then took the initiative to stand up, pointed to her seat, and said to Donner, "Why are you sitting here?" ”
As early as when Lucia ordered the servants to leave, Donner knew that she was going to do this, and he couldn't speak out against it in front of those royal servants, but at this time he still smiled and shook his head: "Don't break the rules." ”
Lucia walked over and grabbed his arm, and said coquettishly: "Today is a family banquet, you are the head of the family, and it is a bad rule for me to sit there." ”
Donner was speechless for a moment, so he had to stand up and switch places with her.
"Hey!" Wesley suddenly disagreed, "What am I at your family dinner?"
"Brother Wesley is cheeky to eat. Layla replied with a smile.
Lucia also gave him a blank look and said, "You blame me for not inviting Lady Jasmine, right?"
Lady Jasmine was the one who accompanied Wesley on the afternoon outing, she herself was the daughter of an earl, nine years ago she married a knight of the second rank who was also a count, but not long after, her husband died in the Great Patriotic War, and after that, this Lady Jasmine became the most famous widow of Cohennas, and Wesley was only one of her lovers.
"Just kidding, even if you invite, I won't bring her here...... However, if you say it's a family banquet, it's a family dinner, and it's okay for me to be a guest. Wesley gave himself a round of his own.
"Big Brother Wesley is as important to me as his family. Richard helped.
Wesley laughed happily and raised his glass towards Richard, "Or Richard has a conscience." ”
At this time, Una suddenly said leisurely: "It would be nice if the young master was here." ”
Everyone looked at her, but Una turned a blind eye, her head bowed as if she was thinking about something.
Layla opened and closed her mouth, she had explained this to Una too many times, but Una still kept thinking about the "young master" in her heart.
Donner sighed softly, not knowing what to say.
Lucia glanced at Donna, and then said softly to Una, "Una, it was your young master who entrusted you to Duke Vane, and one day, he will come back to you." ”
"Hmm...... The young master will come to me. Una nodded and laughed happily.
