As Werther expected, as soon as the banquet started, many guests came to congratulate him.
At this banquet, no one from the Willy family came. So only one duke came, Duke Dak. He walked up to the king with a wine glass and was about to propose a toast to the king.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, for having such a good son like the eldest prince." Duke Dark said, then looked at Witte, "Of course, congratulations even more to His Highness, the eldest prince, for having made such a great contribution, he can be said to be the bravest man in all of Notland.
.”
The king was very happy after hearing this and said with a smile: "Old man, my children are indeed better than the other, haha."
After thinking for a while, Werther said to Duke Duke: "Thanks to His Highness the Duke for your praise, I am far from as good as you said."
There was something strange in Duke Dark's eyes, but his smile remained unchanged. He stared at Werther for a while, and soon started talking with the king and ministers.
At this time, Werther was able to escape from Duke Darke's eyes, so he walked to the middle of the banquet hall with a sigh of relief. At this time, a group of girls gathered around, and they looked at this prince with surprise and admiration, who was so different from before.
Werther was a little overwhelmed after being surrounded. He tried his best to keep smiling, but his steps seemed a little flustered.
The girls were not familiar with Werther at all and had barely spoken to him. They had only seen or heard that the eldest prince was a terrible person. When they met today, they realized that Werther was completely different from what those rumors said. They all told Werther
He saluted and said hello, and looked for opportunities to chat, but Werther didn't seem to adapt to this situation.
Fortunately, Caitlin came over at this time. She saw Werther's embarrassment, so she planned to help. She stepped forward and pulled a few girls and said: "There is a circus performance in the main hall in front, you can also go to see it. This is
It’s the best circus in Frank City. It would be a pity if you don’t go and see it. Your trip to Frank City is in vain.”
"But we still want to talk more with the eldest prince." said a noble girl.
"Why don't we go to the circus with the eldest prince?" Another noble girl looked at Werther with a smile.
Werther waved his hand hurriedly and said: "No, no need, you just have fun."
Caitlin pushed these girls toward the circus, and the girls listened helplessly but curiously to Caitlin's instructions. When they left, Werther finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When the girls left here, some counts, viscounts and barons came up one after another to talk to Werther. After chatting with Werther, they went to the king to chat.
After talking with the three earls, Werther felt a little thirsty, so he walked to the side to get some juice. At this time, he saw his sister Doris sitting in the corner. She leaned her head on the back of the chair, looking like
Was asleep.
"Well, Doris, why are you sleeping here?" Werther stepped forward in surprise, "My stepmother will scold you again soon."
Doris was awakened by Werther. She frowned and rubbed her eyes. After a while, she stood up unsteadily, looked at Werther blankly and said: "Brother, what are you doing here? Are you being raped today?"
Those who celebrate should go talk or dance with the guests. I am really too sleepy, so I need to sleep a little longer."
After saying that, Doris sat on the chair again, leaned on the soft backrest, and quickly fell asleep.
Werther shook his head, sighed and said to himself: "Fortunately, my stepmother is not here, otherwise my stepmother might have framed me for hypnotizing my sister and deliberately letting him sleep at the banquet."
At this moment, the stepmother's voice came from behind: "Witt, what are you doing? Why does my daughter seem to be sleeping on the chair? Werther, did you give her a sleeping drug or hypnotize her?
"
It couldn't be such a coincidence, she really saw it! And she really
framed me like this!
"Stepmother, I didn't do that. Don't accuse a good person unjustly." Werther said calmly, "Doris is tired. Why don't you send someone to take her to rest."
"How can this be done!" The queen looked angry, "Doris still has to talk to an outstanding noble man. She can't sleep now!"
"Stepmother, if Doris' fate comes, no one can stop her. Anyway, she doesn't have anything important to do now. Why don't you just let her go back and rest for a while. Besides, the party will continue until tomorrow morning, and she still has a lot of things to do.
Opportunity to build an outstanding noble man."
"I think you hope that she can't find a good husband and end up marrying a little nobleman who doesn't even have a title?" The queen looked at Werther with hateful eyes, and there was a sarcastic look on her lips, "Don't you mean to
Do you want her to marry a little lord like you who doesn’t even have a title?"
Werther knew that his stepmother was just using this matter to lose her temper with him. Even if Doris did not find the best person among the nobles as her fiancé at the banquet, the king and queen would arrange for him to marry someone with a high status in Notland.
As a man, there is nothing to worry about.
The queen winked at the maid next to her. The maid picked up a bottle of perfume and sprayed it on Doris's face. Doris woke up quickly and sneezed several times at the same time. She woke up instantly. Her eyes
He looked at the queen with resentment: "Mother, what are you doing?"
The queen became even more angry: "You don't even look like a princess when you get up."
"Yes, Queen Mother." Doris stood up respectfully.
The queen nodded with satisfaction: "Behave more noble for a while and don't get sleepy again. I really don't know what you were thinking yesterday. Even though today is a banquet, you still have to sleep so late."
"I will behave well, Queen Mother."
"I can rest assured that."
After the queen finished speaking, she walked towards the king. Doris stuck out her tongue to Werther and said, "Mother is always like this. I'm going to go play with my friends first. They are all the children of the minister of Frank City. The eldest brother
I’ll go over there first~”
"Well, you go ahead." Werther smiled and waved to Doris.
Doris ran to her friends, and Werther noticed that she especially liked chatting with one of the young men, and his expression looked very happy. I really don’t know which minister’s son the young man is, or whether he is a big noble. He looks very
She looks smart and smart, and is about the same age as Doris. They match each other very well.
The boy held a sword in his hand and showed it off to Doris, and then they seemed to be talking about swordsmanship. Werther couldn't help but wonder if the reason why Doris stayed up late to practice swordsmanship was because of this boy. But he knew that he also had
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
Soon it was noon, and Werther felt a little hungry, so he wanted to eat something. At this time, a servant came over carrying a plate.
"Your Highness, this is steak and pie. They have just been cooked. You can try it."
"Well, okay."
Just as Werther was about to reach out to pick up the plate, the waiter grabbed his wrist. Werther turned his head suddenly and saw the waiter standing next to him.
"Your Highness, don't eat it yet." Si Shan said, "This is a new type of pie. The king wants you to come to the front and taste it in front of everyone."
"Why do you specifically ask me to do this?" Werther looked at Si Shan in confusion. He had a vague feeling that the other party had bad intentions.
"Your Highness, this is an event temporarily arranged by the king." The corner of Si Shan's mouth raised to one side, "This banquet is prepared for you, and it is natural for you to be the first to taste new varieties of delicacies in front of all the guests. Moreover, you don't
Do you think this is interesting?
?”
Werther frowned: "Is this really what the father means?"
"The king agreed, but this idea was proposed by Duke Dak and I. Haha~" Si Shan smiled sinisterly.
"What suggestions did you put forward?" Witte's face changed, wondering what the trap was.
At this time, Maier also came over: "Your Highness, the king is urging you to come forward now. He wants you to taste the new variety of pies in front of all the guests."
At this time, Werther looked ahead with vigilance and found that there was nothing strange about anyone, except for those people from the Dark family who had a sinister look in their eyes.
It was basically certain that this must be their trap, but this was the king's order and he had to obey it. He moved slowly and walked towards the front.
Just when he didn't know what to do, the parchment roll gave another hint: "There is raspberry jam in the pie. Werther was stimulated when he was a child and could not eat food made of raspberries. Once he eats it, he may
Having a nervous breakdown and yelling.”
At this time, Werther finally understood the intentions of those people. It turned out that they knew that Werther could not eat food related to raspberries, so they deliberately concealed the fillings in the pie and asked Werther to taste it in front of everyone. Once Werther because of the filling
Getting flustered or shouting about the raspberry jam in the cake was equivalent to making a fool of yourself in front of so many nobles and ministers.
In this case, the king will also become bored with him, and his image will be affected.
After thinking about this, Werther felt more at ease. He just had to try the pie normally. Anyway, he came from time travel and was not afraid of raspberry jam. This was not a trap for him.
But after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't really taste it as if everything was fine. If he looked completely normal, then others would suspect that he was not the real Werther.
He calmly walked to the front and saluted the king and stepmother respectfully: "Father, King, Queen."
The king smiled and said: "Son, come and eat a new kind of pie, but it is made by Si Shan himself. I don't know what the filling is, and I have never tasted it. You are the host of the banquet today. You are here for the first time."
A taster!”
At this time, the servant said loudly in the banquet hall: "Next, the eldest prince will taste the new variety of pies!"
The banquet hall immediately fell silent, and everyone was watching Witte. Witte calmly picked up the pie and put it in his mouth. When he took the first bite, he tasted a very special taste, and it was obvious that the filling was filled with...
The appropriate amount of sugar, this taste was novel to him, and coupled with the exquisite cooking skills of the chefs in the palace, this pie showed a special deliciousness.
Just as Werther was about to say happily that it was delicious, he suddenly thought that he wanted to add some drama.
He first stopped talking, stared at the pie in his hand, and then took a deep breath for a few seconds. When everyone looked at him nervously, and those in the Dark family looked at him sinisterly, he suddenly continued chewing
, swallowed the mouthful of pie in his mouth, and then said with a smile: "It's really delicious."
The guests were very happy after seeing Werther's reaction and went to get the pies one after another.
When everyone's eyes were not on Werther, Werther began to shake his hands deliberately. This scene was seen by the king and queen.
The queen walked away angrily. She thought to herself, she really didn't expect that Werther could be so patient and could still eat even though his hands were shaking like that. She really underestimated him.
The king also noticed his trembling. He picked up a piece of pie suspiciously and looked at it. He tasted it again and was surprised. It turned out to be raspberry jam. This was the food Werther was most afraid of. It was really difficult for this child.
