When Yili followed Geros into the banquet hall, dragging her skirt that was long enough to sweep the floor with the followers of the Slian Theocracy, she was indeed a little proud.
After all, when Yi Li's figure appeared in the banquet hall, everyone's eyes were focused on Yi Li.
After all, being the guest of honor was too eye-catching, even though except for Yili and Beilu, everyone present was "arranged" by the Silian Theocracy.
So actually, I have nothing to be embarrassed about showing off in front of this group of people. Of course...it would be better if I didn't have that awkward floor-length skirt.
The next person who came up to him was an old man that Yi Li had never seen before, but judging by the cardinal attire he was wearing, it was obvious that he was of higher quality than the other holy canon priests who came with him.
That old man must be the boss of the Theocracy, right? Speaking of which, this is the first time that Yili has seen this guy. It seems that she has never seen him in a meeting before.
Out of politeness, Yili raised her skirt slightly and saluted the old man first.
After all, she is just a princess. At any rate, this old man should be considered the most powerful person in the Slian Theocracy. If it were an imperial system like the Empire, he should be on the same level as the Blood Emperor. It was right for him to take the initiative to salute first.
"I really bother you all to go to such trouble to entertain me. Here, I, Elizabeth Ulgong, would like to express my heartfelt thanks..." Although Yili was not willing to do this in her heart, she could only endure it in order not to embarrass Ainz's father.
.
"No, no... it is our honor to entertain Princess Elizabeth." The old man, who seemed to be the leader of the Theocracy, took over what Yi Li said and started to be polite to her.
"So what should I call this old man?" Although Yi Li has already guessed the identity of this old man, the procedure still needs to be completed!
"I'm sorry... I didn't have time to introduce him. This is our country's highest priest, the pope of our country, Pope Midigaile." The one who followed and introduced was the water god Xinedin who was accompanying the old man.
"It turns out that the Pope himself came to entertain me. I'm still a little flattered. Thank you again." Yili lifted up her skirt again and saluted.
Then Yili did not stay polite to them, but looked around and frowned slightly.
Although it was a subtle movement, the old man Pope and the old man Xinedine also noticed it. The two men showed quite embarrassed expressions. It was obvious that they should also understand that Yili was not satisfied with this so-called banquet.
Although this was Yili's deliberate display, in fact... this banquet of the Slian Theocracy was indeed quite shabby.
Although Yili has never participated in any formal state-level banquets, at any rate, when she was fishing with the Blood Emperor, she also participated in several private banquets held by the Blood Emperor.
This Theocracy version of the banquet is obviously much lower, although in terms of the scene, it is a little larger than the private scale.
But... how should I put it? It should be said that there is a problem of differences in national ideals. Anyway, the banquet of the Theocracy does not look like the banquet that Yili understands.
Generally speaking, shouldn’t banquets have tables full of food, drinks, and other self-service items?
Let’s not ask you to have a band or something, but there is nothing here in the Theocracy. Although there is a long table, at a glance, there are only some simple fruits and ordinary water on it.
Although I know that the Theocracy is very taboo on luxury, even my own country has a belief system where the higher the status, the lower the salary.
But you are entertaining foreign princesses now? There is no need to use your good virtues of thrift in such a place, right?
This made Yili think that she was dressed like this. What was the purpose of it?
Well! But Yili won’t care what kind of banquet the Theocracy turns into. Even if it turns out to be like the Empire, Yili’s original plan is still to find trouble.
After seeing the embarrassed looks on the two old men's faces, Yili already understood that her pretended dissatisfaction had been conveyed to them, and it was time to get started.
"Ah...I'm sorry, Pope Midigaile, I have never participated in any banquet hosted by your Theocracy, so I feel a little surprised. Although I have stayed here for a while, seeing this situation, I feel so...
Even for a country as big as the Theocracy, it shouldn't be that difficult, right? Ah! I can't hide things, so I'm really sorry!" Yili pointed it out with a smile on her face, without giving them any face.
That’s it.
"..." Maybe he didn't expect Yili to point it out directly. The old pope didn't even know what to say.
But it could be seen from his expression that the old pope was a little annoyed.
Well! Yili also understands the principle of doing as the Romans do. Moreover, this so-called banquet was temporarily thrown by them to delay time, so they can't ask for too much, but... this just gives them room to express themselves.
"Ah... I've committed my old habit again. I'm really sorry. My father also often teaches me to learn to speak based on the atmosphere and the situation. As an outsider, I shouldn't make irresponsible remarks about your country. Ah... I've made a mistake again.
What should I do?" Yili pretended to have discovered something, looking very remorseful.
"Um...Princess Elizabeth, this is a problem that we did not arrange carefully. It is our mistake to make you unhappy..." Before the old man Sinedin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yili.
"By the way, do you think this is okay? As an apology..." Yili clapped her hands as if she thought of something again, pretending to be quite happy, and interrupted the old man Xinedin's words.
"How about I entertain everyone?" Yili said this in a very loud voice. Originally, everyone's focus was on Yili, but as soon as these words came out...the other foils were exposed to varying degrees.
He looked at Yi Li with a curious expression.
"How is this... okay? It should have been..." Before the old man Sinedin finished his words, the old man Pope intervened first.
"We appreciate Princess Elizabeth's kindness, but princess, how are you going to entertain us now?" the old man Pope said. It was obvious that the old man was indeed quite dissatisfied with Yili's speech just now.
"Can you give me five minutes?" Yili replied with a smile.
"Princess, please feel free to do as you please." The Pope was not polite at all. It seemed that he was determined to see what tricks Yili could do. This was exactly what Yili wanted.
"Well! Sorry to be rude first, message... um, Sebas? Can you help me prepare for the banquet? Yes... I have to entertain some friends, yes! It's really a shame to trouble you. I can prepare it in five minutes.
Okay? Okay, then in five minutes, how about you go to my location and open the portal? Yeah! That's it." The Pope and Sinedine were dumbfounded when they saw Yili putting her fingers in her ears.
On, in front of them, he "used" message magic while talking to himself.
