In the Eagle Castle, Otto specially designed a large banquet hall to hold large banquets or military combat meetings.

It's just that the current banquet hall is still a bit simple, and even if there are a lot of decorations hanging on the surrounding walls, it looks a little empty.

Originally, according to Otto's plan, painters would be hired to paint the murals on the surrounding walls, but now due to the hasty move, they are not ready.

However, many of the guests present did not pay attention to such small details, but were shocked by Otto's generosity.

A castle of this scale has only been repaired for more than two years, how much does it cost?

It is no wonder that Otto not only talked about the engagement ceremony in his letter, but also mentioned the new castle, and if it were them, it would be natural to show off.

This is the easiest way to prove your family's strength to others.

It seems that the Alahorf family is thriving in the hands of Otto after the accident of Count Allgäu.

Judging from the situation they saw in the Allgao territory, even if the geographical conditions were a little worse, it was completely a rich territory.

The specifications of the banquet were also very satisfying to the guests, mainly a certain dish at the banquet, which made the guests feel Otto's trench and enthusiasm.

This simple dish is not unusual, just "queen bread".

Queen's bread, as the name suggests, is bread that only queens can afford.

During this period, even the aristocracy and the wealthy did not store large quantities of bread directly in their kitchens, but instead stored semolina, or wheat flour mixed with a lot of bran.

When it's time to eat, bake the semolina into bread.

If you want to entertain guests or celebrate something, you will instruct the cooks and maids to sift the semolina. The more distinguished the guests, the cleaner the bran in the semolina, and the whiter and finer the bread will be, but the more effort will be expended.

Therefore, black bread and white bread can be baked completely in the same bag of flour, the difference is only in the labor.

The bread that the noble knights usually ate was actually between white bread and black bread.

Wealthy families could raise several servants who would specialize in sifting flour from morning till night. In less affluent households, in order to reduce the workload of the servants, to avoid exhausting them, and to avoid wasting the bran that also satisfies hunger, the number of times the flour was sifted was reduced.

So whether the bread baked in the end is black or white depends on their own ideas.

If eggs, milk, honey and herbs are added to refined flour and brewer's yeast is used instead of ordinary dough, the "queen's bread" is also called "queen's bread" after careful fermentation and baking.

The taste of this small round white bread is basically the same as that of modern high-end brioche bread, at least Otto tastes very good, and it is all-natural, healthier than modern brioche bread.

It required such a complex process and so many materials, and at this time, it was a proper luxury, even the king could not afford to eat it at once, so it was called "queen's bread".

Legend has it that a king in history rewarded his valiant soldiers with this bread after a victory, and even aroused the envy of the nobles who were rewarded with meat and wine.

Otto has been preparing for this banquet for a long time, but fortunately, the territory has been developing well, and the people are willing to help when they hear about Otto's engagement, otherwise they would not be able to take out so much queen's bread.

It is conceivable how satisfied this group of guests was after seeing the queen's bread, as for the banquet hall that has not yet been decorated, what is it, it is just a matter of time,

Listening to the compliments of the guests, Otto was very happy, and after a few polite greetings, Otto announced his decision to establish a new family in the name of Eagle Castle.

Hearing this news, everyone's reaction was actually quite flat, except for a few people who heard Otto say that his younger brother El would not join the Habsburg family, or a member of the Alakhold family, which made them suspect that Otto and El had internal family conflicts, everyone else congratulated one after another.

To put it bluntly, at this time, changing the family name was not an uncommon thing for the nobles, and Otto, as the de facto patriarch of the Alakhor family, was willing to change the family name to anything, even if it was Carolingian.

Everyone is not here for his family name, but for Otto's strength and the strength of the family, and changing the name has no effect on these.

It's just that in the future, it is necessary to separate the original Alakhor from the current Habsburg, and from today the two families are already different families, although they are related by blood.

Otto also duly took out the coat of arms and flags of the Habsburgs and displayed them to everyone.

As a person with no artistic bacteria, Otto couldn't design any beautiful patterns, originally wanted to get a hammer and sickle pattern, but thinking about the meaning of this representation, it didn't seem to be suitable as a badge of a noble family, so he could only copy history and make a double-headed eagle badge.

Habsburg, Eagle Castle, it makes sense to use a double-headed eagle.

As the night deepened, the band began to play music, and it was time for the ball.

After dancing with his fiancée, Miss Sophie, Otto declined the invitation to continue dancing and found an excuse to sneak out of the banquet hall.

It's not that Otto is playing any Yanagishita Megumi spirit, but that Otto is going to discuss important matters with the Sighard family tonight, and he can only grieve his beautiful fiancée.

After the important members of the Sighard family arrived, they actually wanted to have a private meeting with Otto, after all, the political marriage between the nobles, to put it bluntly, is an alliance and an exchange of interests, this kind of thing, where it can be clearly explained in a few words, it is natural to communicate in person.

It's just that Otto has repeatedly delayed, one is that he has indeed been busy during this time, receiving other guests, arranging their own affairs, and has no time.

Second, Otto is ready to show enough strength to the Sighard family, and then negotiate with the other party, with the strength to support, it will be much easier to put forward conditions and requirements.

With this majestic Eagle Castle, and the Queen's Bread at the banquet, plus the prosperity of the Allgao collar before, it must have been enough to give Otto a more advantageous position in the negotiations.

In the small and living room, several important members of the Sighard family were already waiting, it was not that Otto deliberately played a big name, it was good for the guests to slip away, but it was always a little troublesome for one of his masters to slip away.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but once again welcome the distinguished guests of the Sighard family to Aargau, and now let's talk about the marriage contract with your family's Miss Sophie."
