Chapter 756 The Earl (Part 2)
Chapter 756 Earl (Part 2)
Yuanfan Port. Lord's Villa. Living Room
There were many guests, and many people were talking about it.
Of course, everyone has at least the titles of jazz and lords. Now, just a gentleman can no longer enter the living room of this Earl's Mansion.
"This coffee is good!" Sir Pierre, who was wearing a dress, picked up the coffee cup in front of him, took a sip and said.
"That's true, this milk tea is also good." Sir Shagwen said.
Generally, although beverages are also provided at such daily gatherings of nobles, it is usually ale and beer. It is quite rare for Romon to take out coffee and milk tea to entertain these little nobles who come here at will.
The servant standing was very polite, respectful and polite.
Everything looks so beautiful, the only thing is that the owner does not appear often, or it appears too few times.
But you can understand that most of the people who came here were nearby jazz Lords and their wives. Compared with the Count and a sixteenth-level druid, there was indeed no reason to accompany him every day.
"I haven't drunk such milk tea for a long time, do you know? There was a dispute in the Baron Yingxiubo's house." The person who spoke was a wife, Mrs. Perry. In a blink of an eye, she was about to be forty years old.
Next to her was a young man, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old when he first entered the social circle.
Mrs. Perry's husband was a hereditary lord with five knights and a city house. Before the scourge, he passed away and left his territory and huge fortune to his only son.
These inheritances were naturally entrusted to keep before the son turned 18, and the guardian was of course Mrs. Perry. This year, it was finally under the control of his son - nominally.
However, because there was basically no achievements in the magic disaster, even if you manage it everywhere, only three of the five knights left, but this was already a very good result.
As long as there is no demon disaster, the nobles' territory will basically not be shaken.
Three knights are enough.
As long as you have the title of hereditary lord and these three knight leaders, there is no difficulty in whether you are a superior noble or guarding your own territory.
Mrs. Perry's words suddenly made the party noisy.
"Madame Perry, tell me!" Mrs. Slager was very interested in this.
"Everyone knows that Baron Yingshubo has no successor, right?" Mrs. Perry's words made everyone who listened nod.
"Baron Yingxiubo originally had two sons, and his eldest son Nara was the legal heir, and he also became a knight. He was a rare noble son in the nearby area. Unfortunately, he died in the devil's disaster."
"The second son Panon suddenly got the position of the lord's heir. Unfortunately, he was immersed in wine and sex, but he died not long ago, and neither of them left behind his heirs."
Everyone who listened was filled with emotion.
"Now, Sir Panlunga believes that his son Dinu has the right to inherit, because his mother is Baron Yingxiu's own sister."
"I think the other branches of the Yingxiubo family will definitely not agree. After all, the Yingxiubo Baron has always been their family!" Mrs. Vick said with a smile.
"It is true. Both sides have the right to inherit. As Baron Ying Xiubo grows older, the conflict between the two families becomes more and more obvious."
"Where is Baron Yingxiubo? He did not express his opinion?" Sir Kebiri asked, "In this case, his opinion can greatly influence the inheritance rights."
"It is because of this that Baron Yingxiubo is hesitant and has no designated heir." Mrs. Perry said.
"This is not a good thing, it will cause war between the nobles."
"War may not be the case. There are few large-scale private fights now, but duels may be proposed."
Regarding this, the people present smiled and nodded.
Mrs. Vick thought for a while and said, "Earl Tetashaw, will you have any opinions to be expressed?"
"ah?"
At this time, everyone looked at Mrs. Vick, a little confused.
Mrs. Vick sorted out the language in her heart and said, "According to the rules of the nobles, in this case, the leader of a region has the right to express his opinions and supervise the process. I think, isn't the Earl of Tetasha the largest lord in our area now? He has the right to express his opinions on this!"
"...In theory, this is true, but can the Count speak?" The people present showed surprise expressions and said one after another.
At this time, people's expressions in the living room were very rich, happy, confused, praised, appreciated, annoyed and at a loss.
Only then did people realize that in the "Lower Parker" area, Romon was already the highest lord, which was a sharp conflict with the original "Lower Parker" area and Viscount Eagle Edel.
So, who should I choose to take the team?
"I think Lord Romon won't." At this time, Sir Demerka, who had been silent, spoke: "The Lord has always been focused on territory construction and druid profession, and rarely interferes in the internal affairs of other nobles, and it should be the same now."
"That's right!" The people present breathed a sigh of relief and said one after another.
Because of his good friend Romon, Sir Demerka not only saved his territory, but his daughter Owenna also obtained a knight's title. If Owenna has no heir, Romon will usually take it back.
But it may also be handed over to Sir Demerka.
Even if this is not the case, it is said that Romon once invited Sir Demerka to serve as the Director of the Finance Department of Yuanfan Port a few years ago, which is a big fat man.
"By the way, let me introduce it to you. This is my son Sir Perry, who has officially inherited the title of Jazz this year and joined the social circle." Mrs. Perry said.
There were also many guests gathered in the living room, and many people were listening to the conversation just now, and at this time, they were greeting each other.
Botu is a beautiful young man, not big, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes. However, from his somewhat red expression, it can be seen that this young man is still a little shy and saluted everyone.
Nowhere near as diplomatic as his mother.
Everyone responded with kindness.
"By the way, I heard that the Lord was promoted to Earl of Tetasha. Prince Xiusenya returned from the pirate battlefield and wrote to his brother, asking His Highness Hailancha to go back to repair it, because he had been fighting for a month and the soldiers were exhausted." Someone said something else.
"Yes, I heard about it, but it seems His Highness Hylancha refused."
"This is easy to understand, everyone, isn't it?" This person's words caused the people present to burst into laughter.
Everyone knows that His Highness Hirancha and Prince Xiusenya compete for the throne.
But for local nobles, this is just a topic of conversation.
Like the Chinese Empire, the battle for the crown prince shakes the foundation of the country and involves countless people. Here, the princes' battle for the throne is in most cases only the royal family affairs.
Some nobles even looked at these from the perspective of watching the show, treating them as a topic of relish.
It is very rare to support one party like Romon. Of course, everyone understands that Romon was the first generation of nobles and sometimes needed some recognition.
But everyone also believes that the second generation of Earl Tetasha will downplay the position of supporting a certain party.
"However, Yuanfan Port is indeed becoming more and more prosperous. Do you know? It is said that after the adults were promoted to the Count and Level 16 druid, three hundred households applied to become citizens of Yuanfan Port within a week."
"It's good. The city of Yuanfan Port is very beautiful, with very convenient transportation. Now it is becoming more and more prosperous. Maybe in a few decades, it will become a truly prosperous city."
"It doesn't take decades, and in another five years, it's possible to surpass Apps City."
"Five years, it's too exaggerated, maybe ten years."
"Hmph, it is said that the Adventurers Union has settled in the city recently. How could it be? I have bought a house in the city."
"There are not many nobles here, right?"
"A dozen nobles have purchased residences in this city, and some are ruined nobles from abroad. Although they have lost their territory, they are nobles after all, and they can still interact with each other."
“That’s right.”
The warm conversation easily took an afternoon, and at dusk, the housekeeper appeared.
"Everyone, I'm honored to invite you to the dinner."
"Where is the count?" someone asked casually.
"The Earl is still in straitors, and Elini is going to deal with the temple. But it happened that Mrs. Lingling came back from the academy and she was honored to have a meal with you."
Now, Elini has to deal with the matter about the grace of Romon and verify the report. This is very troublesome.
Lingdang is now the vice president of Giant Eagle Academy, and she is more and more fond of this job.
Now that a wife is present, the banquet will be more plentiful.
"It's a pity that Lord Earl does not have a professional wife at home." Someone said with emotion.
"Earl's hospitality was very generous even without the wife, right?" Someone had different opinions.
After a moment, the butler led everyone to the restaurant.
Sir Bethu Perry, who came for the first time, looked around.
In the center of the restaurant, there is a long dining table, which is made of marble and stone tables, with extremely smooth tops.
There were several bronze lamp plates above the dining table, filled with candles. At this time, there were already servants using long poles that lit up one by one.
At this moment, the stairs turned up and down a group of people.
The leader was a lady. When Sir Botu Perry watched everyone salute, he knew that this was Mrs. Bell.
It is said that this lady was just a maid, so some noble women were polite on the surface, but they were very jealous and disdainful in their hearts. However, Sir Botu Perry looked up.
I found that the lady of Bell had light golden hair on top of her head, revealing her snow-white and slender neck and gem-shining earrings, and was wearing a purple-red long-sleeved evening gown.
She has the temperament of a noble lady, but she is indeed not very beautiful.
At this moment, Mrs. Lingling said with a smile: "Welcome to everyone, the Count has been practicing secretly, so she cannot entertain you in person. I apologize to you for him... Please take your seat!"
Washing hands before meals is a habit. The servant came to the guests with a big mouthful of water, a basin and a towel.
After washing, the host and the guest sit down.
The most important guests sit in the main seat at the highest point, while the other guests sit in order according to their ranks.
The guests took their seats one by one, and they were busy for a while, and everyone sat down at the dining table.
After everyone sat down, a group of servants served appetizers, bread and butter.
Then the wine is served immediately, including wine and ale.
And there is a seasoning made of wine, grape juice, vinegar, green onion, ginger, pepper, saffron and cloves. It can make the dish more delicious when cooking.
Secondly, let’s serve the first dish: barbecue, strong-spicy seasoned cod, meatballs.
Wait for a moment, and serve the second dish: lamb, ham, meat sauce
The third dish: cheese, flan, apple
The servant pays attention to the guests' plates, prepares soup and dishes at any time, pours wine and tea, and is clean and neat, and has a diligent and respectful attitude.
The level of dining is comparable to that of ordinary barons' formal banquets. You should know that the aristocratic banquets are not held every day, but take turns, because the burden is heavy.
The Count was already very rich in the ability to entertain these for free, and everyone enjoyed them with satisfaction.
In the restaurant, everyone was talking and enjoying it, Sir Bert Perry noticed that Mrs. Bell basically didn't speak, but just focused on her meals and smiled from time to time.
After the dinner, it was not too early. The nobles nearby could go home, the nobles who had purchased a house in the city could stay, continue chatting and playing cards, and hold dance parties.
Sir Botu Perry noticed that Mrs. Bell soon surrendered.
The owner's departure did not disturb the guests at all, and the cheerful dance music floated in every corner of the hall under the musician's performance.
Everyone danced the popular salon dance.
Sir Botu Perry was a little puzzled.
"Son, are you thinking, why are the owners not here and there for free?" Mrs. Perry saw her son's confusion and said softly.
"Yes, as far as I know, we all take turns to hold banquets, and the banquet is a heavy expense." Sir Botu Perry said frankly.
Such banquets are quite expensive for the nobles.
"For ordinary nobles, this may be the case for the Count, and it is only a drop in the bucket. Moreover, it is only at this time that it is unilateral. After a while, it will be reciprocated." Mrs. Perry explained: "In the future, the guests will be the nobles living in the city, and they will not be the unilateral reception of the Count."
"Oh, is that true? Then let's come here..." Sir Botu Perry was still a little puzzled.
"We came here just to show our approach to the count. Of course, the count also entertained us every day. This period of time will last until there are no new people. In this way, the camp will almost be decided."
Sir Botu Perry asked again: "Then why did we choose Earl of Tetasha?"
"It is normal to choose him whether it is a title or a rank. Besides, I am tired of dealing with those nobles. Earl Tetasha has a good reputation, and it is nothing wrong to follow him."
