The banquet will start soon. The guards outside the banquet hall are already standing, and there is also a footman with a list in his hand, ready to welcome the guests who come to the banquet.
Werther stood outside the window and watched for a while. No new carriage had arrived yet. At this time, the king had already gone to find the queen, and they would appear together in the banquet hall.
Werther first went to the living room to drink half a glass of juice and took a deep breath to ease his mood. This royal banquet was held for him, so it was impossible not to be nervous. After he calmed down, he walked towards the banquet hall. However, in the corridor,
He actually met face to face with his current biggest enemy-Duke Duke.
Although he has never had a direct confrontation with Duke Duke, he has seen his portrait in the castle study. He looks somewhat similar to his stepmother. He seems kind at first glance, but there is an insidious and sinister look in his eyes.
cunning.
Werther kept himself calm. He looked at Duke Darke, and Duke Darke also looked at him with a smile. This smile looked very calm and kind, but the evil hidden in the corner of his mouth was like a knife that could penetrate into Werther's heart.
.
It must be said that Duke Dark seemed to be a ruthless person. However, he did not say hello to Werther, nor did he continue to look at Werther. He just glanced at him and hurried forward.
Next to him was a young man with an aristocratic appearance. This man looked vicious but not mature enough. He looked very arrogantly and mockingly at Werther. He did not take Werther as a prince seriously at all, and he disdained the presence of Werther.
Werther concealed his ridicule in front of him.
Judging from the direction the two of them were walking, they were probably going to the second prince's bedroom. I didn't know what they were going to do. Werther had already passed them by and was looking back at them in confusion when the aristocratic man next to Duke Duke suddenly
He turned his head, with a cold look in his eyes, glanced at Werther with disgust, and turned the corners of his mouth downwards.
Werther frowned and ignored him, but turned around and walked in the direction of the banquet hall. Now Duke Dak had shown obvious provocation to Werther, but he also wanted to pretend to be kind, which made Werther walking
He couldn't help but feel confused. I don't know how long it took, but he had already arrived in the banquet hall.
He raised his head and saw his father and stepmother looking at him. Although his father's eyes were filled with fear, he still looked forward to him, while his stepmother looked directly at him with disgust.
"Witt, my son, stand behind me. Remember, today's banquet is held for you. You must be proud. You look like a prince today. With your contribution, everyone will
I worship you." The king ordered.
"Yes, father." Werther saluted the king respectfully.
However, their conversation made the queen feel very unhappy. The queen crossed her arms in front of her chest, curled her lips and said: "It's just a coincidence. How could he drive away the vampires? If my son Le En meets
In this case, we must do better.”
After hearing this, the king smiled at the queen: "Baby, our Lern is also very good, of course I know that."
At this time, Len and Doris, who were brightly dressed, came over. Although they were also wearing royal attire, they did not look as dazzling as Werther.
Doris looked a little tired, and the queen asked in a low voice: "Why do you look so low energy? Do you mean you stayed up late last night?"
Doris smiled: "Mother, I was studying swordsmanship last night and accidentally stayed up until early morning."
"Daughter, your swordsmanship is already very good, don't hurt your body just for this matter."
"I understand, Queen Mother."
The queen then said to the maid next to Doris: "What's wrong with the third princess's makeup today? She doesn't look very good. Please touch up the makeup of the third princess quickly. She will meet many outstanding noble boys today. She must
Just show up in your best condition.”
"Yes, Your Highness the Queen."
"Mother, why do you only care about your sister?" Lern complained to the queen dissatisfied, "I didn't sleep well last night either."
"Why can't you sleep well?" the queen asked with a frown.
"Of course I'm upset. I'm obviously better, so why is he the one who takes the limelight today?" As he said this, Lehn glanced at Werther viciously.
The queen smiled sarcastically, put the golden fan in front of her mouth, glanced at Werther, and whispered to Lern: "I told you, didn't you hear? He is just lucky. Do you really think he can succeed?"
Can this limelight be maintained? It is estimated that in a few days, he will become the cowardly and incompetent person he was before."
"That's what my mother said. I don't believe that warriors can emerge from the Majik family. Only the bloodline of the Dak family can produce real warriors."
"Oh haha~" After listening to Len's words, the queen smiled from ear to ear, and at the same time looked at Werther with a mocking look.
Werther ignored them.
At this time, the manservant holding the list at the door came and said to the king: "Your Majesty, the guests have arrived one after another. Is it time to let them in?"
The king nodded and said, "Let's begin."
The footman ran to the door and picked up the book full of names. When a visitor came to announce his birth and name, he read it out loud.
Werther stood next to the king and listened carefully to the names. He heard the titles of many nobles, including count, viscount, baron, and ministers of the court.
Halfway through the recital, a very brightly dressed lady came. She was wearing a dress made of gold and silver threads and a hat studded with precious stones. She was holding a gold fan exactly like the queen's hand, holding it with both hands.
Wearing a skirt, she walked in proudly.
She did not tell the manservant who she was. The manservant was waiting for her to tell her her name, but unexpectedly she walked forward without mentioning it. The manservant wanted to ask but did not dare. The guard next to him recognized
He found out that this noble lady was Lady Agnes, the queen's sister, so she whispered a few words to him.
At this time, the noble lady had walked many steps, and the male servant hurriedly read loudly: "This is the former wife of the knight commander of Daybreak Town-Aglaise Dark."
After hearing "Dawn Town" and "former Knight Commander", Mrs. Agnes frowned hard. She was very reluctant to let others mention the fact that she lived in Daybreak Town and was just the wife of the Knight Commander. She couldn't help but quicken her pace.
.
Damn it, I am obviously from a noble family and am the daughter of Duke Duke, why is there such a big gap between me and the sister in front of me. As a queen, my sister can be admired and respected by everyone, but I have to be in such embarrassment.
She did not stand on both sides of the banquet hall like other nobles, but went straight to the front of the banquet hall, where the royal family members stood.
She smiled charmingly and looked at the king lovingly, but the king turned a blind eye. This made her feel even more embarrassed.
For a moment, she didn't dare to look at the other side, but she quickly adjusted herself and returned to her arrogant demeanor.
Mrs. Agnes also noticed that Werther was dressed very differently today, but now she had no time to deal with Werther, and seemed to put all her energy on the Queen. She looked at the Queen with jealous eyes and bit her lower lip hard.
.
The queen pretended to be virtuous, but what came out of her mouth were sarcastic words: "Oh, my stupid and reckless sister, you came very late today. I remembered to ask them to write in a letter, hoping that you would come over soon and
I’m catching up on old times.”
Mrs. Agnes looked a little angry. She gritted her teeth, pinched her skirt hard, walked up to the queen, and then said with a contemptuous smile: "My vicious and cunning sister, you are dressed very beautifully today."
"Of course, in order to make my sister jealous. The more jealous my sister is, the happier I will be." The queen put her lace-gloved hand to her mouth, smiled happily, and at the same time raised her head and raised her eyes.
He turned into a white man and looked at Mrs. Agnes at the bottom of the steps.
Mrs. Agnes noticed her sparkling lace gloves and asked in surprise: "Where did you buy that thing you're wearing?"
"Oh haha~ Do you still need to buy this kind of thing? I asked the best tailor in the palace to make it for me. It is not sold elsewhere. I am the only one in the whole country of Notland who can own this pair of gloves."
"Don't be complacent, even if it's made by the tailor in the palace, so what? I can still buy better gloves." Mrs. Agnes suddenly thought of something, and then she became proud, folded her arms in front of her chest, and turned to her side.
He turned around and looked sideways at the queen, "What can you do even if you are the queen? I remember that your monthly pocket money is only ten gold coins, and my father will give me fifty gold coins every month."
Hearing this, the queen's face turned livid, but soon she also laughed happily. Mrs. Agnes looked at her in confusion.
"Hahaha~ Don't be stupid, sister. Your money will not only support yourself, but also your servants, long-term workers, and even repair your house and carriage. And everything in my life is
It can be arranged without spending money. Whether it's accommodation, clothing or food, it's ten times better than yours.
The clothes, jewelry and beauty creams provided to me by the palace every month are all the best, and there are too many to use up. There are also countless delicacies for me to taste. I don’t even need to finish all the food. I can take a bite of each item.
That's enough. Even if I don't have ten gold coins, my life is much better than yours. My ten gold coins every month have nothing to spend. No, I can save them to buy more expensive jewelry.
Sister, how many jewelry do you have worth more than fifty gold coins? I have a box."
"Well, you are really going too far." Mrs. Agnes stood aside angrily. Even though it was winter, she was so angry that she kept fanning herself with a golden fan.
The valet was still reading the guest list, and the guests arrived one after another and stood respectfully on both sides of the banquet hall. They were all dressed up carefully, and almost all of them looked carefully at Werther, the prince who had made meritorious deeds.
Some people's eyes were full of respect, some glanced at Werther with contempt, and some girls looked at Werther with admiration in their eyes.
Now that everyone has arrived, the banquet has finally begun. Werther is less nervous now, and his smile is full of confidence and calmness.
