Chapter 172 Grandpa's Influence(2/3)
"Sit down."
"Thank you, miss."
Karen sat down in front of Ophelia and said: "Miss, I need to solemnly apologize to you for what happened on the dock. Because I have only a little knowledge of the culture and traditions of Darkmoon Island, there was a misunderstanding.
.”
"Hehehe." Ophelia shook her head, "It doesn't matter, I'm not angry. After all, what woman would be angry because a young and handsome gentleman confessed to her?
I thought it was funny because I knew Mr. Cullen must have got the meaning of that wrong."
"I'm really sorry."
"Okay, this matter is over. By the way, Mr. Cullen, besides reading, what else do you like?"
"horse riding."
"Oh, Mr. Cullen's riding skills are very good?"
"No, I can only be considered a beginner. My fiancée's riding skills are very good."
"Huh, stingy." Ophelia reached out and picked up a piece of ice, put it into her mouth and chewed it, "Oh, I suddenly felt a sense of loss, just like when you men see a beautiful woman,
As a result, she opened her mouth and started talking to you about her fiancé."
At this time, the maid Xin La handed a cup of black tea to Karen and said at the same time:
"Mr. Cullen is really taking a beautiful misunderstanding too seriously. After all, who would think it is true and take it seriously, haha."
Karen heard the slight sarcasm in the maid's words, implying that he actually thought that his lady would like him;
After all, the Darkmoon family is afraid of the Cult of Order, but they are not afraid of a member of the Whip of Order below. The status gap between the two sides is very large. How could this misunderstanding come true?
Ophelia glanced at her maid, but said nothing.
Karen responded with a slightly awkward smile: "Yes, I am being more serious."
Ophelia said: "I found that the climate in Wein is really damp. I don't like the environment here very much. Our Dark Moon Island is better, it's like spring all year round."
"It's really a fascinating place. I really want to see it."
"Dark Moon Island prohibits outsiders from entering the island, Mr. Cullen," the maid Xinla reminded.
"Yes, I was negligent."
Ophelia frowned slightly and said, "Dark Moon Island always welcomes true friends to the island as guests. Xinla, go down and see if they have arrived, pick up your luggage, and bring my books over."
"Okay, miss."
The maid was sent away.
Ophelia looked at Karen and said, "She is my mother's personal maid. After staying at home for a long time, she is a bit picky about people..." Ophelia made a twirling motion with her fingers, "You know.
"
"She is just doing her duty. It is the same duty as our team to protect your safety."
"Actually, I'm more curious about Allen Manor. Do you know how this family is doing now? I want to hear some specific news."
"Back to Miss, I have had some contact with the Allen Manor because I did some purchasing. The current situation of the Allen family is not very good, because the family bloodline has been languishing for several generations."
"Oh, that's right. Alas, what a pity. In that ancestor's diary, Miss Allen was described as a real genius girl."
"This is a fate that a family cannot escape. When there are peaks, there will naturally be troughs. This is the rule."
"law……"
"It's like when they were declining, didn't you just come, miss?"
Karen certainly wouldn't mind helping Allen Manor get more benefits.
"Yes." Ophelia nodded, "What you said is very philosophical."
"Made the lady laugh."
Next, Ophelia chatted with Karen about some of Wayne's customs and customs. Karen's previous job was to be responsible for chatting, but he was able to accompany her to continue the conversation.
Then, when Fanny rang the doorbell, signaling that it would be dinner time in an hour.
Ophelia needed to straighten her dress, and Karen took her leave and went back to the room opposite to take a shower.
After the time was almost up, Ophelia entered the banquet hall with the female warrior and maid, followed by Karen and Bibi, with Fanny leading the way.
The banquet hall is located in the hotel. It is very grand and has many guests.
In addition, the guests here can no longer be described as "powerful". Their strength and influence have long surpassed the traditional powerful class. Even using "powerful" to describe them is an offense to them.
Ophelia kept clinking glasses and chatting with some senior figures in the Cult of Kosmos, while Karen followed behind.
The reason why there is a personal security arrangement and Ophelia can only have two places to be accompanied by her own attendants is that there may be lurking assassins within some delegations;
It may not necessarily be an enemy, but it may be a power struggle from the same family, so Sophia is "separated" from her delegation for the sake of her safety. Even if she dies, she cannot die on the territory of the Cult of Kosmos.
You can go back and die after the meeting.
Three York City bishops also attended the scene in person. The two bishops just said a few words and then left. The other bishop stayed for a long time to receive the reception, and also led Ophelia to the stage to pay tribute tonight.
Guest speeches.
Karen and Bibi don't need to act like cold-faced bodyguards, because this is unsightly, so their expressions should be as calm as possible, and they can still get some food and drinks.
"This blood sausage is delicious." Bi Mao gave Karen a piece of blood sausage.
Karen took a bite. It didn't smell fishy at all and was extremely delicious.
As a person who is good at cooking, he sensed that this ingredient was beyond his original knowledge.
"What kind of blood was it filled with?"
"A kind of blood of a monster beast." Bimo said with a smile.
"Oh, no wonder, it's so delicious."
So, this is what the real luxury class eats?
"If it's delicious, eat more of it. It's rare to find it outside. It's very expensive if you use coupons to buy it."
"Yes, you are right."
Karen personally picked up a few more blood sausages and put them on the plate in his hand. Then he and Bibi continued to move with Ophelia while nibbling on the blood sausages from behind.
"There are some more expensive ones. When the lady gets there, I will help you get them." Bi Mao whispered.
"OK."
In short, this banquet was full of big shots, and Karen didn’t know any of them anyway. After all, he was equivalent to an auxiliary police officer who appeared at the official banquet of the city government by chance, and this city is still a municipality directly under the central government, so he can
Who do you know?
However, under the leadership of Bi Cuo, Karen has opened a new door to food. New ingredients mean new combinations and new tastes.
It’s just that the ingredients are hard to come by. Even if Allen Manor is rich in the world, it’s impossible to spend a lot of points to buy rare ingredients to enjoy.
Only the church can have this luxury and heritage.
During the banquet, there was another episode. A handsome man in a white suit asked Miss Ophelia to dance. Miss Ophelia agreed and danced with him.
For a time, all the attention of the audience was focused on the two of them. It must be said that in this atmosphere, they seemed to be a perfect match, like a golden boy and a beautiful girl.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to move around freely, Bibin brought some barbecue to Karen. It was a large plate and was divided between the two of them.
"The charcoal-grilled lizard meat, and the tenderest jaw meat, costs 6,000 coupons for this plate, so I bought them all."
"Hmm, okay." Karen and Bibo ate their meat in silence.
Soon, Mr. Pavarro’s salary income of the past three months was eaten up by Karen.
At this time, the dance in the center was only halfway through.
"Who is that man?" Karen asked.
Before Bi Mao could answer, the maid Xin La, who was standing next to them and watching the Karens "eating and drinking", replied:
"He is the grandson of the chief bishop of York City, and he is also a possible marriage partner for the young lady. He is a real person who can be seen under the mottled dark moon."
Chief Bishop? One level higher than Grandpa Vicole.
He is almost the number one talker in the Ruilan area where he used to live.
In addition, the dark moon is mottled, which means it is almost the marriage designated by the dark moon?
Karen noticed that after the introduction, Xinla had a sarcastic smile on her lips.
Karen didn't care about this. He didn't bother to get angry with a maid. Instead, he bumped Karen lightly with his arm and gave Karen a few quick clicks, even though he couldn't understand her.
She probably didn't know what she was talking about, but she was definitely helping Karen scold the maid.
Karen smiled and continued to look at other food that seemed to be expensive;
Hey, who is the grandson of a bishop or the grandson of a chief bishop? If his grandfather had not fallen asleep, wouldn’t he, the eldest grandson of the Immelais family, be much more valuable than these grandsons?
The dinner party is over.
On the way back to the room, the maid Xinla was asked by Ophelia to sort out the gift list, and Fanny accompanied her. After all, a "local" was needed to sort out the clues. Bijun followed the security requirements and went to discuss the matter with the captain in the dark.
