Before the banquet started, the nobles who had already arrived gathered together in twos and threes and chatted quietly.
From time to time, waiters would shuttle among the crowd carrying drinks to serve the nobles.
Chris and Brent were standing by the pool, holding a crystal cup in their hands. The liquid in the cup was purple-red.
"What do you think of this wine?" Brent shook the glass and asked.
Chris took a sip, savored it carefully for a moment, and said, "It's sweet and soft in the mouth. It tastes pretty good."
Brent smiled and said: "This is the wine from our Jordan family, the white wine over there is from the White family, and the yellow wine is from the Darwin family."
Chris was not surprised. This dinner, from the drinks, to the meals, to the desserts, were all products of each family.
······
As soon as the clock struck eight o'clock, Princess Shirley walked in wearing a white silk evening dress with gold trim and white gloves on her hands.
"Welcome to Your Highness the Princess." Chris and other nobles quickly saluted.
"No ceremony." The princess came to sit in front of the main seat, with the three viscounts and the sixth-order knight sitting on both sides of her.
Others also sat in order according to their status and status.
Chris and Brent sat in the front seat in the middle, where they could barely see the princess's delicate face clearly.
The waiter brought out plates of exquisite dishes, including hundreds of dishes.
Of course, most of them are repetitive. In fact, there are only about forty kinds of dishes.
A dozen knights released their fighting spirit and lifted these dishes up, slowly spinning them.
Steaks and foie gras floated before my eyes one after another.
There is also a red date cake cut into small pieces, which belongs to the Hughes family.
A large bucket of snowflake cake and dozens of slices of jam sandwich bread stacked on top of each other were all obtained with Brent's help.
Chris didn't have much of an appetite. He couldn't help but think of the food in the castle. Mrs. Ellen's cooking skills had long been perfect, and the dishes in front of her were perfect.
Suddenly, Chris felt something in his heart. He raised his head and found the princess's eyes falling on him.
The other person smiled and nodded.
Chris responded with a smile. Their eyes only met for a moment, and then they both looked away.
"It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has noticed you." Brent said with a smile beside him, "Our business in the Royal Capital has been established."
It's hard not to notice Chris' heroic effort to regain the crown today.
······
After the dinner, the servants removed the long table, leaving a large area in the yard.
Two knights brought down a piano from the castle in the manor and placed it in front of the door. After a while, the melodious sound of the piano came.
Among the nobles present, most were men.
Dozens of pretty women came out of the castle. They had exquisite makeup and elegant postures. They had obviously been well trained.
Many men picked out the ones they were satisfied with, put their arms around their slender waists and started dancing.
"Let's go pick a dance partner." Brent nudged Chris in the arm with his elbow.
"I don't want to go." Chris inexplicably thought of the two female magicians in his family, one large and one small. He shook his head slightly.
"You guys who have no interest, let's indulge while you're young." Brent stopped talking to his younger brother and went to choose a dance partner by himself.
As a Chinese in the 21st century, Chris doesn't really like banquets in this kind of atmosphere.
These women are not only dance partners, but after the dance is over, they can also be taken to do things that are not shameful.
Chris looked at the princess, who was holding a glass of wine, smiling and chatting with the people around her.
There were five or six people surrounding her.
With Chris's ear, he could definitely hear what they were saying.
"Your Highness, how do you like the foie gras tonight?"
Princess Shirley smiled lightly and said: "It's pretty good."
"Our Feili family has a large breeding farm outside the city with tens of thousands of white geese. If there is a chance..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by others: "Your Highness, how does that honey-glazed pork steak taste?"
"Your Royal Highness, is the red date cake delicious?"
Chris curled his lips, these stupid guys all want to show off in front of the princess, which will only arouse the other party's disgust.
They didn't give in to anyone, and in the end they all worked in vain.
Moreover, the products they are proud of may not have caught the eyes of the nobles in the royal capital.
At this time, the princess's sweet voice came: "What is that bucket of white pastries that look like snowflakes? Whose product is the fruity sweet sauce sandwiched between two pieces of bread?"
Several nobles surrounding her looked at each other.
Unexpectedly, they wasted a long time talking, and the princess was not interested at all.
A baron pointed at Chris.
He was sitting alone on the steps, as if he was out of tune with the cheerful dance around him.
The princess put down the wine in her hand and walked over.
"Baron Chris?" A sweet voice came from behind.
Chris stood up and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Princess."
The princess said: "Can I invite you to dance?"
Chris was slightly startled, weren't you here to discuss business?
What kind of trouble is this?
However, he quickly reacted and quickly stretched out his hand and said: "It's an honor."
Princess Shirley placed her slender fingers on Chris' generous palm.
Chris pulled her over and held her slender waist with his other hand.
The two danced to the sound of the piano.
Although Chris did not learn to dance in his previous life, he had received training in this field in his previous life, so he would not show any shyness.
With the beautiful face so close in front of him, Chris could even smell the fragrance coming from her body.
It was not the scent of rouge or vulgar powder, but the scent of a woman, light and fragrant.
"Listen to them, ice cream and jam are industries in your territory?" Princess Shirley opened her cherry mouth and exhaled hot air.
Chris showed a hearty smile: "What are those things that your Royal Highness is interested in?"
The princess nodded, with a look of novelty in her eyes. "Why have I never heard of these two things?"
Chris said directly: "To be honest, that is a new product I invented recently. It is not available in other cities except Mote City."
The princess opened her beautiful eyes wide, with a beam of light in her eyes.
The bodies of the two of them were flying, and their dance steps were spinning faster and faster.
Chris was surprised to find that the princess also had fighting spirit fluctuations and was obviously a knight. Moreover, she had excellent flexibility and was able to perform various difficult movements.
Gradually, people around them retreated, until finally only Chris and the princess were left.
The moonlight poured down, covering the earth with a layer of silver frost.
One is handsome and the other is charming. Their dancing is the brightest star in the night.
After the song is over, the sound of the piano stops.
Chris bowed and the princess raised her skirt to thank him.
