"Hurry up! Why are you waiting so long? Does it take so long to fetch a basin of water?"
"Who asked you to bring the uniform? Go get the dress!"
"What? You think this is a dress? This is a regular dress! As a maid of the Castel family, can't you even distinguish between a regular dress and a dress?!"
"The dresses are in a separate wardrobe! They are specially made in advance for each banquet! Each set can only be worn once!"
"You don't need to bring them all, just bring a few warm-toned ones. The master has asked you to dress more mature and sunny."
In Castel Manor, Quasimodo directed the busy maids and waiters, blowing his beard and staring.
Although they had been trained by Charlotte for many days, it was obvious that the newcomers had not yet dealt with preparations for a banquet as high as the Duke's dinner, and they were all in a hurry.
In the manor, you can hear the old servant roaring all the time.
Looking at the dresses brought over by the maids, Charlotte sighed helplessly, and finally chose a gorgeous evening dress with white as the main tone.
Moreover, perhaps the existence of extraordinary power has allowed high-end productivity to surpass the times. The food, clothing, housing and transportation of the nobles in the world of Miria are still quite advanced.
On the whole, the entire society is still in the feudal era. Most ordinary people and people at the bottom are still living a life similar to that of the Blue Star Middle Ages. However, the upper class has obviously entered the material conditions similar to those of the Blue Star Renaissance period and even the Enlightenment period.
The gap between rich and poor is not generally large.
Even the tuxedo was made out, which even caused Charlotte to think that she had traveled to the seventeenth or eighteenth century when she first traveled through time.
It wasn't until she left the manor later that she discovered that this world was actually much more backward than she had imagined.
Adding and subtracting, the overall situation is estimated to be equivalent to what Blue Star looked like in the late Middle Ages, around the fifteenth century.
Different from the fashionable and avant-garde Gothic skirt, the evening dress has dignified and beautiful patterns, heavy fabric style, complicated decoration, many embroideries and slits, and many places are decorated with jewelry. The overall style is strong and luxurious.
In addition, the shape is also very exaggerated, with filling, corseting, padding... all kinds of shaping gadgets are stuffed in, making it uncomfortable to wear.
Especially the big bustle, which made Charlotte feel like she was transformed into a humanoid tank, wearing an oversized heavy-duty hula hoop.
But there is also a benefit, this skirt is very convenient for hiding gadgets.
Charlotte took advantage of others not paying attention and decisively stuffed the crossbow into her body to defend herself.
After stuffing it, I felt that the space was more than enough, so I stuffed a dagger and a few magic scrolls from Nice.
Wash, wipe, dress, take care of hair, apply powder, spray perfume...
After some tedious preparations, it was already forty minutes later.
Standing in the mercury mirror, Charlotte felt that she looked more beautiful and charming in the mirror than before. Underneath her youthful and charming appearance, she was more mature and charming.
It also smells very good, even Charlotte didn't expect it to smell so good, so fragrant and soft.
This is all the result of the dress and perfume, as well as Charlotte's natural beauty.
Under the complicated dress, even the pair of marshmallows on the chest looked a lot bigger under the corset, and there was even a groove.
Although Charlotte always felt that because of her gap... it seemed as if something precious had been broken deep in her heart.
After the preparations were completed, the girl boarded the carriage for the banquet.
The carriage was also the best one from Castel Manor. It was carved with exquisite patterns and decorated with gold rims and gems. The black hawk emblem of the Castel family shined brightly on the side, making it luxurious and grand.
The old servant Quasimodo serves as the temporary butler, along with two maids and two male servants.
The maid and the manservant were sitting in the second servant carriage, which also contained a gift for the birthday dinner, a religious oil painting selected from the manor's collection, valued at two hundred thousand quintana.
This is the entire team attending the banquet.
The black cat Ness was lying at the window on the second floor, looking helplessly at the people preparing to set off, his big amber eyes full of pity.
Of course, no one really pities it, not even the maid in the manor.
During this period of time, this guy didn't dare to be presumptuous with Charlotte, which made Charlotte temporarily give up the idea of giving her a luxury sterilization package, but it made the maids so crazy that they couldn't even change their clothes.
Check beforehand to see if there is a fat cat wandering nearby.
Although being looked at by a cat seems to be nothing, it is somewhat uncomfortable to be stared at by a talking cat with such a weird look, as if you are being peeped by a pervert.
Charlotte felt that sooner or later this perverted cat would have to pay the price and be groomed.
It also bullies ordinary people like maids.
In terms of strength alone, this guy can't even beat Charlotte. His physical fitness is also a waste that has not yet entered the level, and is only a little stronger than an ordinary cat...
But...Nice can use a series of high-end divine arts and even magic.
It's also weird.
Charlotte was sure the cat had a secret of its own, but it didn't want to tell it, and Charlotte didn't force it.
After all, who in this world doesn’t have a secret or two?
It's enough that you can't betray her. Trust and loyalty will slowly change over time.
After thinking for a while, Charlotte waved to the window on the second floor.
After all, this guy knows a lot of magical arts and magic, and he can barely be considered a master even if he carries it with him, so let him follow him.
Seeing the girl's signal, Nice's eyes lit up.
It meowed instantly, rushed out impatiently, and jumped onto the carriage amidst the screams of the maids.
"Stay away from me and pay attention to your identity. You can follow me, but as a pet."
Looking at the excited black cat, Charlotte said coldly.
Nice's cat face fell instantly.
It forced itself not to look at the girl's alluring chest, sighed regretfully, and then jumped onto the servant carriage behind to harass the maid.
The motorcade drove slowly and left Castel Manor.
Charlotte leaned leisurely in front of the car window, took out the goblet and the milk bag prepared by the maid from the hidden compartment, and skillfully filled it for herself.
Passing through the relatively spacious and bright streets in the western city, the convoy headed east and entered the eastern city in about fifteen minutes.
As the core area of Boulder City and the area with the most nobles, the buildings in the eastern city area are generally much more gorgeous.
The streets are spacious, bright, neat and clean, with religious sculptures, fountains and small gardens everywhere. Even the clothes of pedestrians on the streets are much neater and more upscale.
This scene is in sharp contrast to the dilapidation and backwardness of the outer city, as if it spans two to three hundred years.
The beautiful scenery made Charlotte, who already likes to see scenery, shine.
But as the carriage continued to move forward, she gradually lost interest.
Although the scenery in the eastern urban area is good, the similarities are too high.
The sculptures all depict religion, the decorations of the fountains are also patterns of the Holy Royal Court, and even the green plants in the garden are trimmed in the rigid style of the church.
Heavy, depressing, imprisoned.
This feeling cannot be experienced if you don't feel it carefully.
But Charlotte has always been sharp.
"So... divine authority is the most powerful and transcendent force in the world."
After taking a sip of milk, the girl sighed.
As the carriages drove along, there were more similar convoys on both sides of the street.
The sides of each carriage were also decorated with various emblems, and they were traveling in the same direction as Charlotte and others. They were obviously nobles attending the banquet.
Charlotte noticed that when her carriage passed by, almost all the convoys would slow down and get out of the way.
Sometimes, someone would open the curtains at the carriage window and take off their hat to greet Charlotte's carriage.
Nobles of the same level are also distinguished.
Even with the trend of decline and the risk of extermination, the extremely wealthy Castel is definitely one of the most powerful noble families in the Principality of Bold!
Perhaps, even "one" can be removed.
After driving for about fifteen minutes, Charlotte finally saw the Duke's Palace, a majestic palace.
The history of the Duke of Bold's Palace is quite long, dating back to the founding of the Yunet Empire 1,100 years ago.
At that time, it was a fortress used to defend against the demihuman tribe, and it was also a towering castle.
Now, the demihuman tribes on the Crescent Peninsula have been completely wiped out, and the once active demihumans have all become slaves or migrated to distant places. The historical mission of Bold Castle has long been completed.
Therefore, about seven hundred years ago, the then head of the Bold family ordered the castle to be converted into a palace that also functioned as a fortress, and the city was built around it.
The city of Boulder also developed from that time and was expanded several times.
At this moment, there are already more than a hundred carriages from various families parked in the garden square in front of the Duke's Palace.
The Duke's servant, wearing a dark blue butler's uniform, was standing at the door, ushering all kinds of nobles into the palace.
When the Castel family's carriage arrived, it attracted almost everyone's attention. Whether they were nobles, attendants or citizens watching the excitement from a distance, their eyes were full of curiosity.
"Master, we are here."
The car door opened, and Quasimodo's old and respectful voice came over.
Charlotte nodded slightly.
"Help me out of the car."
She took a deep breath, stretched out her white and tender little hand, and placed it on the palm of the maid's hand. Then, with the help of the other party, she gracefully stepped down from the carriage with the ladder.
The bright sunshine shone on her body, and with the breeze, the beautiful blond hair was blown slightly.
The holy and gorgeous dress, the face like a creature of the gods, the elegant and noble manner...
At this moment, the entire garden square was quiet.
