Chapter 226 These little vassals are not worthy of the second son!
"Big Mouth Peter, do you believe it now? After tasting it, the Earl is willing to buy the recipe for fifty gold coins. If such a delicacy is sold, do you think it is worth ten silver coins for a small piece?"
"It's worth it!" Peter didn't argue anymore.
What kind of person is the Earl? Even he likes to eat food and does not hesitate to buy the recipe. Who dares to say that such delicacies are not worth the price?
I am afraid that even if Miss Stella made such a move, she would not be as convincing as the Earl.
At this time, Stella also took the second portion of the cream cake.
Miss Stella's appearance is extremely ladylike, and every move she makes appears elegant and decent.
Her white and slender fingers held a silver spoon and scooped out a little cream, then put it to her mouth and took a sip.
Under the gaze of everyone, Miss Stella's expression showed a hint of surprise for an instant.
"Sir Narant, your cream cake is delicious. Thank you for this birthday gift!"
"Miss Stella! This is my honor!" Nalant was slightly surprised. He didn't expect to hear the compliment with his own ears.
However, considering that no matter how noble Stella is, she is still a woman. Women naturally love sweets, so it is not surprising.
"Lina!" Stella thanked her and called Lina again, "You and your servants will distribute the cream cakes to all the guests present to taste!"
"Yes, miss!"
Immediately, with the cooperation of Lina and Rose, the cake was delivered to the hands of all the guests in the expectant eyes.
Of course, there were so many people present that the amount of cream cake they could share was not even the size of a fist.
However, none of the nobles in the audience felt that there was a shortage, because after tasting the cream cake, everyone understood why the Earl had such a reaction before.
"Oh! This cream cake is so delicious! Nasia, can you tell your brother that I am willing to be his wife, and I will ask my father to prepare a lot of dowry!"
Beside the long table, the aristocratic lady named Taffy finished her cream cake happily, and suddenly she said something incoherently.
"Taffy, you can't do this. I also hope to become Sir Nalant's wife. You are not allowed to bribe Nasia!"
"I also hope to be Sir Nalant's wife. We must compete fairly!"
"..." Boris just rolled his eyes and immediately turned into a large lemon essence.
It took more than ten minutes to taste this cream cake. It can be seen from the happy expressions of all the guests that this cream cake brought them an unprecedented sense of happiness.
After the cream cake is finished, it means that it is almost time to enter the dance party.
But at this moment, everyone present encountered a problem.
That is who Miss Stella will dance her first dance with tonight.
Originally, everyone thought that the second son of Billy should be the person who gave the most expensive gifts in the audience.
But after everyone ate Nalant's cake, they felt that the value of such a large cream cake was actually no worse than that of the silver gift box.
In this way, no matter whether one of them is allowed to dance this first dance with Miss Stella, I am afraid that the other person will also be dissatisfied!
As a result, everyone looked at Miss Stella and the Earl.
The earl was also thinking at this time. Since the rules of this birthday dinner are based on the value of the gift, he can only follow this rule, otherwise it will easily damage the self-confidence of other second sons.
Especially that Billy, the gift he prepared this time was considered thoughtful. Although he wanted to favor Nalant a little, he couldn't do it directly.
Stella, on the other hand, did not show any expression on the stage. Instead, she hoped that it would be best not to dance the first dance today, or that it would be better to dance directly with her father.
Billy was looking at Nalant with hatred in the audience.
In this scene, he was one of the few people who ate the cream cake and was still hostile to Narant.
It was because of Nalant that the opportunity for him to have close contact with Miss Stella was uncertain.
"Who do you think is fair to have the first dance with Stella?"
"I think it should be Sir Billy! Sir Billy's gift is real, and Sir Nalant's gift is an estimate after all. Although this cream cake is delicious, it is also an estimate!"
"Your Excellency, I don't agree with you. I think Nalanant deserves the opportunity to have the first dance. After all, his gifts are much more thoughtful. And I'm sure that among all the second sons, Nalanlan is the only one."
Sir Te’s gift was prepared by himself! After all, Andrew certainly doesn’t have any extra money to fund his marriage!”
There was no decision-making at the top for a moment, and the guests below also started talking quietly.
"Haha! Why don't you let me and Miss Stella dance this first dance! How can they, the second sons of little vassals, be worthy of the tulip flower!"
At this moment, a hearty laughter came from the door of the hall.
And his loud tone immediately aroused the resentment of many small nobles.
Everyone looked towards the door of the hall.
However, when they saw the speaker, the hostility in their eyes immediately dissipated.
"Hiss! It's actually the king and the second prince!"
"They are all here! This is a great honor!"
"Yes, the two princes attended the birthday celebration at the same time. Such a situation was rarely seen in other earl families in the past!"
"I have met the two princes!"
At this time, two young men with luxurious clothes and impressive equipment came from the door of the hall.
One of them is in his twenties, while the other is in his early twenties.
They are the eldest son and second son of the current king of the Agate Principality.
Many nobles who had seen the faces of the two princes moved out of the way and respectfully offered their greetings.
"Bernard Honor Tulip, I have met the two princes!" At this time, the earl who was sitting on the edge of the high platform also walked down in person, and greeted the two princes with a slight salute.
At this time, several other Earls attending the banquet also came closer and greeted each other.
"Earls, no need to be polite!" The two princes also bowed.
Although the earl greeted them as a noble etiquette.
But except for the current king, no one dared to accept the salutes and greetings of several earls calmly, including the two princes.
"Count Bernard, I am very sorry that we are late this time!"
"Your Highness, there is no need to be like this. The king's territory is more than a week away from Tulip. It is already an honor for my Tulip family that you and the second prince can come!" Bernard said in a very polite tone.
"Two princes, please go and take a seat in front!"
Immediately, the earl led the two princes towards the front of the high platform.
"Beautiful Miss Stella, on behalf of the Glory Agate family, I wish you a happy birthday!"
The eldest prince followed Bernard to the high platform, politely offered his blessing to Stella, and also gave a gift.
As the gift was opened, it was a fine jewelry necklace that was not particularly expensive.
This is also an unspoken rule for gift-giving among nobles. Generally, the value of birthday gifts given in the name of the family is not too high, in order to avoid robbing young people of their first dance opportunity.
So this jewelry necklace looks beautiful, but its value is estimated to be only twenty or thirty gold coins. It is really just a gift from my heart.
"Thank you, Your Highness, the eldest prince!" Stella accepted the gift and bowed politely to thank her.
Immediately, the eldest prince continued to follow Bernard towards the seat aside.
However, the second prince did not follow the eldest prince away, but stayed on the spot.
Anyone who is familiar with the second prince knows that the slightly arrogant words he made earlier were exactly what the second prince said!
