He's still a kid, and he can't judge people by their looks.

Albert's face fell with bitterness.

Fortunately, years of gentlemanly education reminded him to stay calm until the end of the banquet.

The dining seat was a slender rectangular table, and Albert and Bran did not choose the girl opposite, about a meter away.

You can touch each other by raising your hands and pressing forward.

Bran also reached out and shook Liana in a gesture of friendship.

He has also inquired about Megan's family in the past two years, and the girl in front of him has also seen the origin of the family on parchment, but it is also the first time he has seen it.

He didn't feel anything, after all, he was much older than Albert.

The girl's name was Liana Michael, the eldest daughter of Nefer Michael, the owner of Barthabeth.

There is also a younger brother, because he is the only girl born in the middle room of the three generations of the family, he is very loved by his parents and elders.

Liana was thirteen years old, and she had a childhood with Bran and Albert, and in another year, a large number of people would come to the door, and most aristocratic girls began to go on blind dates at this age.

After three or five rounds, the goal will be set. If it is a person of high status, it may be sold at a cost, but it is generally not more than 20 years old at the latest.

The boys, on the other hand, are about a year or two later, and around the age of fourteen or fifteen, they begin to discuss major life events.

At the age of thirty or so, you can have an heir who is close to adulthood.

But before, the elders "arranged women" would let them be the first to experience the process of life union.

……

Albert, as the host and the man, had to take the initiative to receive him.

"Hello."

"Hello."

"It's a good dish."

"Okay."

After two sentences of conversation with the girl, the atmosphere fell silent, and Albert just buried his head in eating, pouring his favorite sweet brown sugar on the roasted apple pie, and eating it with bitterness.

Liana felt this depression, but didn't mind, and took advantage of the moment when the servant served the food, and looked at the future husband out of the corner of her eye.

Both Bran and Albert wore small hats to hide the special hairstyles of the abbey, and they looked like ordinary aristocratic teenagers.

Judging from the situation of the two of them using knives and forks and napkins, the etiquette should be impeccable, and in terms of appearance, Albert is good-looking, and he is suitable for a husband in appearance, but he is a little weak, and it is better if he can be like the young man next door (Bran).

Bran sat upright, his eyes kind, and the more he looked at it, the more handsome he became, and he did not have Albert's shyness.

After a while, Bran was already talking to Liana, and was reminded by Bran kicking her leg from under the table, so that Albert joined the chat. Telling inconsistency jokes, Liana smiled toothlessly.

When the dinner was over, it was time for the two young men to spend time together, and Bran stopped following him, much to the disappointment of both Albert and Liana.

The two of them walked in the garden, and the fragrance of the flowers was very intoxicating.

Liana was obviously much more generous, and after a few words, she asked Albert directly if she was dissatisfied with her face.

Albert struggled between nodding and shaking his head, eventually choosing with the former.

"I'm sorry, a gentleman shouldn't be so superficial." Albert's words of explanation come from the heart.

"It's nothing, everybody loves beautiful things, that's normal. The two of us just met first, and maybe the object of each other's choice in the future is not each other. ”

"Are you serious?!" Albert was surprised that Liana would say such a thing.

"It depends on how far the alliance between my father and my wife goes...... By the way, the young master Bran across from him just now, is he yours?"

"Friends, brothers, classmates, one of my dearest people."

Albert was less embarrassed when he talked about Bran, and told many interesting stories about his time in the convent, such as participating in a debate tournament and defeating the priests, which Liana listened to with great interest.

"If you wish, I can introduce you to Bran, a gentleman, and many of the priests of the monastery admire him."

Albert remembered that he had just asked Bran in "Abbey Sign Language", and Bran pointed his finger back and said "yes".

This is a good reference to the "sum evaluation", and if Liana's family becomes more powerful, such as becoming the strongest prince in northern Italy in the future, then Bran's evaluation will increase.

But to Albert's ears, Bran might like the big-nosed girl, so he could rub it himself.

"Okay, but you have to be there, the three of us together." Liana readily agreed.

This is her second round of blind date meetings, the last time was a Frankish viscount family, to be honest, the status is not high, but this family has served as a court procurement official in the Frankish Empire for generations, and the accumulated wealth is amazing.

The man prides himself on being a nobleman of a big country, and he simply looks at people with his nostrils.

When the two talked privately, the man used French throughout the whole process, and even ridiculed Liana's French for not being pure enough and having a country accent.

However, the man also made it clear that as long as he can get his ideal dowry, then he can get married at any time.

The man is five years older than Liana, but he can't learn or even hold a pen, he wanders around taverns and brothels all day long, and before he gets a share of the territorial property, he owes a number of merchants and nobles debts......

The next morning, Liana got up early, and the servant lit candles and brought water, and the noble lady always had to spend hours keeping company.

Her father is also a lord with ambitions to open up the land, and he has also been very concerned about Mrs. Meghan's movements in recent years.

The envoy sent by the Count had been in the city of Meath for a long time, so he knew about the development of the Charman family from Venice, and the envoy explained to Liana last night that Bran was the grandson of the "declining Grand Duke", and with the help of the Quake family, he had a foothold in Florence, and now has a manor rich in golden wheat, as well as an increasingly good mercenary group.

The mercenary group is called Teutonic and uses the Black Eagle crest.

His maternal line is from the "Leonard family" of the Franks.

Last night she was stunned and replied, "Leonard? This is a century-old family, with the title of marquis, and there was a Frankish queen in the family. ”

Liana is about to get married, and she has learned some aristocratic lineage.

"You're right, miss, but in the past twenty years, in a series of battles between the Holy See and the Imperial Power, and repeated speculative failures, Leonard has lost his former glory......"

"The nephew of the current marquis, his family background is not lost to the bastard last time, what happened to Leonard?" Liana asked.

"I don't know, or you can ask Lord Bran tomorrow.
