The sky was getting dark. At this time, the queen wiped her mouth and raised her head proudly: "It's already so late before I know it. We are going to the restaurant for dinner. Of course, Xishicheng will be dining together in the restaurant today.
Count family, let’s go.”
The queen threw the handkerchief on the table and smiled at Werther: "You have never had such a handkerchief in the palace before, so you may not know that we change such a handkerchief every half a month, and this handkerchief is just right.
It took half a month.”
Werther thought to himself, if he had to show off this kind of thing to me, wouldn't there be nothing else to compare with? Of course, after thinking about it, he still smiled fakely, not daring to show his true emotions on his face.
The queen covered her mouth with a gold fan, her eyes were bent with a smile, and she looked very proud. She put her hand on the servant's arm, stood up slowly, and walked towards the palace. Werther and others also stood up.
Walking all the way to the restaurant, Werther saw such a large restaurant for the first time. He followed everyone in and suppressed his surprised expression, pretending to be calm and scanning the surrounding scene with his peripheral vision.
The walls on both sides are painted with exquisite and intricate patterns, and two beautiful lamps are placed at the door. There is a bright crystal chandelier on the equally exquisite ceiling. There are also beautiful candles placed in the middle of the dining table, in front of each chair.
There are complete sets of high-end tableware.
But the king and the Earl and Countess of Brookstone were not there, nor was the third princess Doris, and there was no servant to bring dinner. While everyone was wondering, Maier hurried over.
The queen grabbed Mel's collar, looked at him arrogantly, and asked: "It's already dinner time, but where are the king's people? The Earl and Countess of Xishicheng should have arrived by now. Where are they?
?And my daughter, the third princess, is back?"
Maier did not answer, but said with a sigh of relief: "Queen, you are finally back."
"What do you mean finally?" the queen asked with a frown, "tell me quickly, where is the king and where is the third princess?"
"They... are practicing circus in the next room." Maier lowered his head slightly, glanced downward, and poked each other with his two index fingers in confusion.
"Practice circus?" Everyone said in surprise.
The Queen pinched Mel's collar harder and her voice rose a lot: "Why are you practicing circus at this time?"
"Your Royal Highness, you should know that the king likes watching circuses, so much that he even takes time to practice."
"I'm asking you, why didn't he come to dinner instead of practicing circus with the Countess and Doris?"
"Because they have been waiting for you for a long time and got impatient, the king proposed that we practice circus together."
"Ah!" The queen suddenly realized something, let go of Maier's collar, covered her mouth with her hands in horror, and asked in a low voice, "Maier, what time is it now?"
"It's already seven o'clock."
Now it's an hour late from the originally agreed dinner time! It took them so long to have afternoon tea!
The queen looked the most panicked. As a queen, since she proposed to take the children to the garden for afternoon tea, she should pay attention to the time. Then she was only thinking about how to embarrass Werther, but she forgot about the time.
Jing, so long has passed without realizing it.
She fanned her golden fan impatiently, trying to calm herself down.
The servant reminded at the side: "Your Majesty, it is winter now, you may catch cold easily if you fan yourself."
The queen glanced at the servant: "I'm very hot now, I want you to take care of it."
At this time, the king appeared out of breath from the door of the restaurant. He frowned and looked angrily at the people opposite who had just finished their afternoon tea: "What kind of snacks did you have for afternoon tea? You still have it until now!"
Do you know what time it is? It’s already seven o’clock! Me, Doris, and the Count and Countess of Brookstone have been practicing circus for a full hour!”
Doris and the Count and Countess also came to the dining room and looked at the angry king in surprise.
The queen smiled flatteringly, twisted her waist and walked to the king, took his arm, leaned her head on his shoulder, fanned herself and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, we really didn't have it just now.
Pay attention to the time, but there is no clock in the garden, and you did not send a servant to tell me the time. In the end, it is all your Majesty's fault."
The king looked at the queen with a smile and said: "Well, even if it's my fault, actually the reason why I didn't send anyone to tell you is because I want you to have a good time, not to mention that I also want to practice circus.
Did you have fun today?"
The queen pouted and shook her head: "It's not fun at all. This afternoon tea was too unhappy. I want your majesty to compensate me with a pearl necklace."
"Okay, okay, I will give you the most beautiful pearl necklace in the world." The king looked at the queen dotingly and smiled very sweetly.
Werther and others were stunned, so that the king would not be angry! This is too powerful!
The queen stretched out her hand and touched the king's forehead again, and said softly: "Has your majesty wiped off the sweat?"
"Of course I wiped it. I sweated a lot today. I was really tired from practicing circus."
"Your Majesty, let's have dinner quickly. I have nothing to do. Don't neglect the count's family and children."
"Here we go. Someone, bring the food."
They sat down around the dining table, in order: the king, the queen, Lerne, Doris, Werther, Catelyn, the two cousins, the countess and the earl.
Werther pretended to observe the Earl and Countess casually with his peripheral vision. He found that the Earl and Countess were both in good appearance. They were dressed in a way that was consistent with their royal status but not too extravagant. Their faces were gentle, their eyebrows were kind and somewhat intelligent, and their temperaments seemed...
Also very calm.
While the servants were serving the food, the king and queen chatted again.
The queen looked at the king with ambiguous eyes and asked: "What did your majesty practice today?"
"Toss the ball."
"It's better to throw the ball. I remember His Majesty was practicing this a few years ago. How many balls can you throw today? Can you throw more than three balls in the air in a row like a circus clown?"
"Not yet, I can only throw one upward now."
"It's still the same one..." The queen smiled awkwardly, "It seems that Your Majesty will have to work harder~"
Witte and others were dumbfounded again. After practicing for several years, they could only throw a ball! What speed is this! People who didn't know thought that the king was just practicing drilling a circle and riding a unicycle!
Soon the dishes were served. Werther looked at the exquisite and fragrant delicacies with unknown names, as well as various fruit wines and juices that were fragrant, sweet and transparent. Werther was so greedy that his mouth watered, but he remembered Maier's
I am reminded not to show your emotions.
He picked up his fork and fiddled with the meatloaf that seemed to be mixed with mushrooms on the plate. He then looked at the barbecue cooked in a special way in front of him, wondering which one to start with.
At this time, the Earl of Rock City, who was sitting opposite Witte, said: "Witt, this child, seems to have become a different person when he grows up. He is capable and brave. He easily drove the vampires away from Daybreak Town. He can really be called our Norland
A warrior of our country, I am really happy that Your Majesty has such a good son. Your Majesty is truly a blessed man."
The king laughed heartily: "Of course, my son will definitely be a warrior."
Werther was a little embarrassed by their praise. He thought, if I want to say something now, I can't make some people hate me even more. He thought for a while and said: "Thank you, Father."
I am just well-prepared for the compliments from Wang and Uncle Four."
"No." The Earl's face turned a little red. He waved his hands and said, "Witt, my good nephew, I can see your perseverance and determination from your eyes. I believe you will definitely achieve something."
After hearing this, Werther almost spat out the food in his mouth. He was now deliberately trying to prevent others from seeing his psychology. How did Uncle Wang see it?
Unexpectedly, the king began to look strange after hearing these words. There was a hint of suspicion in the corners of his eyes. He glanced at the earl coldly, put the knife and fork hard on the table, and said in a cold tone: "Second brother, what do you think of Werther's eyes?"
There is perseverance and determination in it, what kind of perseverance and determination is that?”
The earl knew that the king was doubting that Werther would rebel again, and he laughed again: "Hahaha, Your Majesty, you are too worried again. I said that Werther has the perseverance to resist the vampires and protect Dawn Town and Notland.
Determination."
The king chose to believe the earl's words, breathed a sigh of relief, and took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Although he had only cold sweat just now, wiping it seemed to make him feel more at ease.
Werther couldn't help but worry that my father was obviously uneasy right now, and he might worry that I would seize his throne at any time, and I might be even more feared by him at any time.
Of course, only the stepmother and Len were happy now. They wished that the king would become more suspicious of Werther.
There was sudden silence at the dinner table. It was not ordinary silence, but so gloomy that it made people feel panicked. The king knew that it was his sudden suspicion of Werther that had caused the atmosphere to become like this, and he also wanted to relax the atmosphere.
"Ahem, how are the preparations for tomorrow's banquet?" the king suddenly asked the queen.
"Your Majesty." The stepmother smiled hypocritically, "I still remember that the most exciting banquet last time was Len's seventeenth birthday party. Tomorrow's banquet specially for Werther will be so exciting."
"That's good." The king said, "I left this matter to Duke Dak. I heard that Duke Dak asked the chef to help him. The two of them took the servants to prepare for the banquet. It should be
No problem, I believe them."
"Of course." The queen couldn't help but pick up the fan to fan herself. "My father and cousin will prepare a big surprise for Werther."
After saying that, the queen glanced at Werther sinisterly, and an imperceptible smile appeared on her lips.
After hearing their conversation, Werther was surprised, wasn't he? This banquet was actually hosted by Duke Dark and the chef. I wonder what methods they would come up with to deal with me! However, even so, we can't back down.
I believe that no matter what difficulties we encounter, we can overcome them!
In this way, Werther finished the dinner optimistically and tasted the food in the palace. Although he had eaten curry bread before, the novelty of the palace food made him have no food left. After finishing the meal, he touched
With a full stomach and a feeling of fatigue all over his body, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't had much formal rest after the hard work of driving and riding.
It was now eight o'clock, and the king suggested: "Everyone should take a bath and rest early. The banquet will start in the morning tomorrow, and more guests will come to the palace by then."
"Your Highness, let me help you go back to your room to rest." Maier came to the side of Werther, "The king asked me to serve you."
"Thank you, Mr. Maier, but I can take care of myself. You can go take care of your father." Werther said with a smile.
The king looked at him not far away and nodded with satisfaction: "Witt is indeed a sensible child. Don't worry about it. Let Maier take care of you. Besides, you haven't bathed in the royal bath for a long time. You need Maier to take care of you."
You can do it. As for me, you don't have to worry, I have other servants who can serve me."
When Werther saw that the king had said this, he could only agree: "Yes, father."
