Chapter 31 June Trivia
One day in June 349 of the Gregorian calendar, a certain gentleman in Gresden overheard the following conversation between Holin and Bridzid, who were discussing preparations for their wedding. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Anyway, let's go to the royal capital for our honeymoon." The woman made such a suggestion.
"No, you don't have to think about it." Huo Lin refused categorically.
"Why?"
"I don't know what you're thinking about carefully, you just want to go to the royal capital to see handsome guys."
"Cut, have you been discovered?"
"Dear Anna, although most of the standards for us are 108,000 miles away from the average couple in the world, there is one thing that I am confident that I can surpass anyone, and that is the level of understanding between you and me." Huo Lin said proudly.
"Think about it, at this time, the most youthful, beautiful, and chic princes and grandchildren in the entire continent are gathered in Kaunescu, but at this juncture, I can only follow this old pervert to a rural place for my honeymoon."
"Don't complain, if everything goes well, you will always meet one of those princes and grandsons in the future. Well, it's time for you to try on your wedding dress, don't keep the tailor waiting! ”
"Ah, what are you doing! Damn, let me down! The voice was so far away from a certain gentleman.
As Brigitte, oh no, should have called her "Lady Hollin," as she thought, by June Kaunescuri had gathered most of the suitors. Wherever you are, the concentration of such a group of young talents from various countries will put serious pressure on the local area. General Larson, deputy commander of the French Praetorian Guard, must have agreed with this.
As the first delegation to arrive in France, the Hitaros were clearly determined to win. However, given their past reputation, the Pharansis were very prepared for it. At the reception banquet arranged for the Hitaros, the invitations were basically the old men of the Privy Council. To the disappointment of Prince Nathaniels, who was bent on seeking a romantic encounter in Farensi, there was not even a blood-sucking mosquito at the banquet except Queen Margaret. Prince Antaras didn't care about this, and although he was a little shy, he took the initiative to talk to Margaret.
"I can see it, little brother, you had a good time yesterday." The next day, Nathaniels said as he habitually rubbed his brother's soft blonde hair.
"Brother Siwang, don't rub it anymore." If you are still seen by Canites in China, you should say, "Are you bullying the old man again", but Nathaniels will always reply, "How is this bullying?" It's love."
"So, what are your plans for today?" Nathaniels continued.
"Ah, I want to go to the Great Library, and Her Majesty Margaret will be there later." Antaras took advantage of his brother's letting go and hurriedly straightened his messed hair.
"It's a boring move, forget it, since I'm entrusted by everyone to take care of you, let's go with you. Judging by yesterday's situation, the Falencians will not let their guard down on us for the time being. ”
So, the people of Hitarus went to the Great Library to visit and study in peace. When he arrived at the library, it was natural for Antaras to discuss some academic issues with the librarians and scholars. Nathaniels, on the other hand, was in a very boring situation, he didn't like the stuff of crepe in the first place, and he basically didn't like to read books except for a few history books that recorded military affairs. As a result, the fourth prince of Hitarus could only wander around the garden in the library.
Just when he was bored, he suddenly heard something like this. "Ah, Miss Rabelais, here you are."
"Yes, hasn't Your Majesty arrived yet?" The girl's voice sounded fresh and soft, and the keen sense of smell that Nathaniels had cultivated over the years told him that this might be an opportunity.
"It's not there yet."
"Oh, then I still have time to prepare a lesson plan."
Following the sound, Nathaniels jumped into the verandah, where he saw a slender figure walking into the distance. He followed closely, wanting to take a closer look at the young lady's countenance. After following for a while, Nathaniels saw the other man enter a room, and since the door was closed, he naturally could not follow him directly. After pacing a few steps outside, Nathaniels had gathered his words and knocked on the door.
"Please come in." Ellessa, who was in the room, thought that Her Majesty was coming, and hurriedly sorted out her textbooks. However, to her surprise, it was a strange young man who entered.
"Excuse me......" Nathaniels first spat out Hitarus, and then immediately changed to the Continental Mandarin, "I seem to be lost here, I don't know if I can disturb you for a while?" Nathaniels showed his usual demeanor, and the ordinary woman must have already developed a good impression of him by this time.
"Ah, of course, is there anything I can do to help you?" To the surprise of the prince, the other party answered him fluently in Hitarus.
"So you can speak Hitarus, so that's a lot more convenient." Nathaniels had only poked his head in, but took advantage of this to move his whole body into the room.
"Hitarus is the birthplace of ancient scholarship in Articut, and anyone who is a scholar must know some of her language." Ellesa replied humbly.
"Is that so? I've been to a lot of countries, and it seems that fewer and fewer people can speak Hitarus now. Nathaniels showed his charming smile as he tried to change the subject.
"You just said you were lost, is there anything I can do to help you?" Aretha didn't seem to have eaten the traditional tricks of Nathaniels, and still asked with a clear mind, or maybe it was a kind of dullness peculiar to scholars.
"Uh...... Well, I came here with my brother, and I ended up walking around and I got separated from him. Nathaniels instantly doubted his charm.
"Then you must be His Highness Nathaniels, I have heard that you are coming." Ellesha smiled, "If you want to find His Highness Antaras, then you might as well wait here for a while, because he may come to me with His Majesty to attend the lecture." ”
"Oh, is it? Then I'll be here to nag. Nathaniels was in the right place, and he could see the young lady's face carefully at the moment. Miss Rabelais was not a peerless beauty in terms of her appearance alone, and although her facial features were delicate, they only made people feel delicate rather than stunning. However, Mademoiselle Rabelais's delicate and effeminate appearance, combined with her peculiar bookish air, made people feel as if they were struck by her fresh temperament, and the whole person was filled with her breath. If I had to compare it, Miss Rabelais was more like a gentleman's orchid, weak on the outside but tough on the inside. Now, Nathaniels felt as if he had fallen in love with the young lady at first sight, and he began to fantasize about whether he would really find a good love affair in Pharansi like his brother.
Just as the prince was thinking about it, there was another knock at the door. This time, Eletha went to open the door herself, and sure enough, there was a group of people standing at the door. Larson escorted Her Majesty to her for a lesson, and Prince Antaras had already met them, so he followed.
"Gui'an, Your Majesty." Aresa gracefully curts.
"Gui'an, Miss Rabelais, I brought an observer with me today, you won't mind."
"Of course not, Your Highness Antaras, you are welcome."
"Ah, I'm sorry for your trouble." Antaras blushed.
"Come in, everybody." Aresa stepped out of the way and let all three of them in.
"Hey, do you have any guests now?" Margaret saw Nathaniels first.
"Brother Wang, why are you here?" Antaras was also quite surprised, "I was looking for you everywhere, and I thought you were bored, so I went back first." ”
"It's boring, it's fun here." Nathaniels replied with a smile.
"Is His Highness Nathaniels also interested in geometry?" Margaret asked.
"I understand a little bit."
"Brother Wang, you're not...... Woo......"
"Her Majesty doesn't mind if I join in." Nathaniels said, covering his brother's mouth.
"Oh, of course I don't mind." Margaret glanced at the two brothers suspiciously.
After Nathaniels let go of his brother, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Just now it was just a unique way of intimacy between brothers, please don't care, hahaha." He turned around to meet Larsen's gaze, and the officer seemed to be at once extremely wary and slightly hostile to him. This left Nathaniels a little confused.
"So, let's get to class." Aretha picked up the whip and tapped lightly on the corner of the table to remind.
At the end of the one-hour course, the students went back to their respective schools.
"General Larson, it's time for us to go." Margaret reminded the absent-minded courtier.
"Yes...... Your Majesty. Larsson wanted to stay and figure out what was going on, but he couldn't let that slack off on his duty.
"So, Your Majesty, can we meet again tomorrow?" Antaras asked cautiously.
"Tomorrow? I'm sorry, Your Highness Antaras, but I may not have time to entertain you. If you need anything, please ask His Excellency Rastigne to do so, and do not hesitate. I want guests to feel at home. So, because I'm busy with official business, let me take my leave. Margaret replied gracefully.
"Ah, I'm sorry about that." Antaras lowered his head.
"Your Highnesses, I have to rush back to the academy to attend classes, and I have also taken my leave. If you need anything, please feel free to find the librarians here, they are some very enthusiastic people. Miss Rabelais packed up her things and took her own as if the two princes were taking their leave.
"Do you need me to give you a ride?" Nathaniels hurried up to offer his courtesy.
"Don't bother, Lord Luce has arranged for me and my father to have a special carriage and escort for the work."
"I'd also like to take the opportunity to visit the academy in Farensi." Nathaniels didn't give up.
"Please, another day, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you today." Eletha smiled.
"Then another day, goodbye, Miss Rabelais." Nathaniels ate the soft nails, but the men of the Landner family had to maintain their proper demeanor even so.
Seeing the beautiful woman gone, Nathaniels looked back and found that his brother was a little depressed. So, he stepped forward and patted Antaras on the shoulder comfortingly.
"Brother Four Princes, do you say that His Majesty Margaret hates me?"
"Little brother, if she hates you, she won't let you stay with her for an hour. You're a little too anxious. You must know that, after all, Falunsi is openly recruiting sons-in-law from various countries this time. Before the official competition begins, as Queen of Farensi, she cannot appear to be partial to anyone. Even if she likes you in her heart, she won't give you much of a chance during this time. ”
"Then I'll have to wait a month?" Antaras was somewhat unwilling.
"Is it our family tradition to wait for an opportunity? Of course not. So, in order to help you find an opportunity, I have decided to sacrifice myself to approach that Miss Rabelais. Little brother, just wait for my good news. ”
"Brother Siwang, you have taken a fancy to that young lady. If you want to pursue her, you can chase her, you don't need to find such a high-sounding excuse, I understand you. "Antaras is also familiar with his brother's temperament.
"Ha, my Antaras is just understanding." Nathaniels reached for his brother's cheek.
"It hurts, don't pinch it."
While Nathaniels was complacent on one side, Larsson on the other side was naturally restless. The fact that the young officer was courting Miss Rabelais had long been an open secret within the Praetorian Guard, but two years had passed without any breakthrough in him.
After the changing of the guard that day, Larson went alone to the bar opposite the Praetorian Guard headquarters for a drink. He really didn't like the sudden appearance of the Hitarus, but he didn't know what to do.
Larson found a corner spot, called out a jug of ale, and poured himself a drink. However, just as he had his first drink, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Admiral Ernest Sauer, entered the bar in a loud noise. Although Sauer was always noisy every time he entered the bar, this time he was able to attract everyone's attention. Because this time he brought three beauties over alone, even if a person like him can be accompanied by three beauties above the level at a time, it is surprising.
Larsson was far more surprised than the others, because he knew the three women, as everyone must have guessed, the "Three Goddesses of Vengeance". Sauer saw Larsson in the corner at the door, and he greeted him loudly. So even if Larson didn't want to have anything to do with him today, he couldn't get away with it.
"Aha, Lord Larson, why are you hiding here and drinking alone?" Sauer leaned over to Larsson's and immediately lowered his voice, "What's the matter, eating turtles at Miss Rabelais's?" ”
"What's the matter with you, how did you get mixed up with these three women?" Larson also whispered.
"Cut, I had bad luck gambling today, and I lost to that light-haired dice in thirty-three games in a row."
"And then?"
"Well, today, I'll have a drink until they're satisfied. Hmph, the little ladies must have done something tricky, next time I must catch them, hum. ”
"Then you're good at it."
Sauer got up and looked back, and saw that the three of them had already walked towards him.
"Let's sit down over there, anyway, I'm in for a treat today, I'm satisfied." Sauer said.
"Since there are colleagues here, let's drink together, there will be more people." Megaela said, dragging her chair over and taking a seat next to Larsen. Alector and Tisiphne looked at each other and sat down at Larson's table.
Seeing this, Larson knew that he couldn't talk about the tranquility he was hoping for, so he glared at Sauer fiercely. Sauer could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, pointed at the three of them, and waved his hand to show that he couldn't mess with them today.
The "Three Nemesis" are currently assigned to work as instructors at the Women's Non-Commissioned Officer Academy, and since it is doubtful that the Women's Non-Commissioned Officer Academy will continue to survive, they are also working part-time in the Praetorian Guard to fill their free time.
Although the three women and two men did not drink together in a harmonious and intimate mood, after they sent away the five bottles of ale, the atmosphere began to develop towards a strange intimacy. Alector was probably the only one at the table who was still somewhat sober, while the other four were completely drunk.
For some unknown purpose, Megaela was pouring wine on Larson. Tisiphne and Sauer are engaged in an even more boring bragging and drinking competition, but after a closer look at Alecto, it is found that by the seventh round, the two have become a situation where they just say a word and just pour themselves a glass.
"Here, Lord Larson, have another drink."
"Wow, that's bold, one more drink, Lord Larson."
Larson had originally come to drink sullen wine, but suddenly a drinker came to the side, and naturally he drank even more.
"Lord Larson, if there is anything unpleasant after drinking this glass, throw it away."
Larsson's eyes were red, and he watched as Megaella helped him fill the glass, and he didn't say a word, grabbing the wine glass and pouring it up. Then, instead of immediately putting the cup back on the table, as he had done the previous times, he squeezed it in his hand and turned it a few times. According to Alecto's experience, it wasn't that he was sober, but that he was completely drunk.
Some people are drunk and will talk about their troubles, and Larson happens to be such a person.
"You say, am I a little incompetent?" Larsson suddenly said in a deep voice, and everyone else looked at him.
Without waiting for anyone else to answer, Larson himself continued: "I am indeed a bit of a self-conscious person. ”
"Larson, you...... You...... Here's what to say. Sauer responded.
"Miss Ellesa, how could such a noble, beautiful, and learned person look up to me? Except for the military, I don't know anything about philosophy, literature and art, and mathematics, and every time I get along with her, she is always patiently teaching me this and that knowledge. Eletha's willingness to get along with me is probably not because she likes me as a person, but because of her usual kindness. You say, "Is that so?" ”
"Larson......" Sauer was about to say something comforting, but was interrupted by a loud voice.
Alector watched in some surprise as Megiera yelled at Larsson, "Lord Larson, you are so spineless to say such things. It's not like your personality at all, what the hell is going on? I heard that you have pursued her for two years and have not been discouraged, why did you suddenly retreat today! It's so unproductive, I misread you. ”
"Uh...... Today I accompanied His Majesty to Eletha's place, and it turned out that the fourth prince of Hitaros was also there. Indeed, a noble lady like Elesa can only match the status of a prince. ”
"What nonsense!" Tisiphne stood up with a "bang", "Girls really like someone, so they don't care about the difference in status?" Let those people get out of the way, even if the identities of the two people are very different in all aspects, I think it is possible to fall in love......" Her voice gradually faded down, and then she fell on the table, as if she had fallen asleep.
"That's it, Larsen, we are the Praetorian Guard, the Praetorian Guard, our predecessors were just a group of farmers and hunters, and they didn't follow the Emperor Layton to defeat the high Nacybis army. Therefore, no matter what prince or king he is, if he dares to go against the Praetorian Guard, there will be absolutely no good end! Sauer encouraged. Judging by his words, Alecto knew that the man's brain had also been completely controlled by alcohol.
"Then what do you say I should do!" Larsson started his fire, "I can't get close to her with those elegant, sophisticated things, I only know how to wield a sword, how to defeat an enemy." ”
"Give her a gift." Megaela whispered.
"Yes, give her a present." Sauer immediately followed.
"And what did you say to give her?"
"Uh...... Deliver clothes? Sauer was stunned for a moment.
"We're not that close yet."
"Send flowers, of course you should send flowers." Megaela interjected.
"Yes, send flowers!" Larsson suddenly became happy and jerked Megaella's shoulder, "Thank you so much, Miss, you have a great idea!" Come, let's keep drinking! Fill it up for me! ”
"Ah...... Good...... Be. Meggaira seemed to be frightened by the other party's sudden intimate gesture.
"Well, well, it seems you're completely drunk...... "Alector muttered.
Halfway through, Tisiphne came to her senses again, and the group continued to drink three bottles of wine. Just when Alector had a headache about how to bring this group of drunks back, the rescuers arrived immediately. Mazarel and several dragon knights also visited the bar, only to find the Janissary Commander-in-Chief drunk. Masalell asked his subordinates to sit down first, and he walked over and asked Alektor if he wanted to help.
"If you can, please help send Sauer and Larson back." Alecto said, holding his forehead.
"You two, come here, do you know where Lord Sauer and Lord Larson live? If you don't know, then help them to the Praetorian Guard headquarters on the opposite side and let the Praetorian Guard take care of them. Tsk, Yeft is definitely going to be furious. ”
Two dragon knights came over, put Sauer and Larsson up and left.
"Do you need anything else?" Masaler continued.
"No, thank you, I'll take them back when they wake up." Alector replied with a smile.
"My men and I are sitting right there, and they will be happy to serve the lady if you need anything."
"Okay."
As a result, by the time Mazarel and the others settled the bill, Megaela and Tisiphne did not wake up. So, Mazarel picked two honest lads to help Megaela and Tisiphne, and he planned to supervise them not to take advantage of the opportunity to eat tofu. Alecto stood up and shook unconsciously, and Mazarel hurried forward to support her.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, are you okay?"
"Of course it's no problem, I could have drunk both of them down before I could be their eldest sister." "But, in fact, if I hadn't taken care of these two little ones, they wouldn't have known what they would have become." No way, who made us sisters. ”
"In this way, I am also the one who is the eldest brother, and my consciousness seems to be far from yours."
"No, I can see that Mistress Ecnast is a very gentle ...... Brother. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, then, shall we go now?"
"Of course," said Alecto to his boss at the end, "the money for the wine should be credited to Lord Sauer's account." ”
