In a building that was originally very dignified and magnificent, but is now slightly decadent, a man wearing gorgeous clothes and a thick ring on his finger is learning the popular etiquette with an unattractive-looking woman.
His hand imitated the woman's movements, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip. Then, his whole face was slightly distorted by the bitterness that echoed in the tea.
"Ah... this bitter tea is really... a strange drink." The man finally swallowed the bitter taste in his mouth and sighed.
"Prime Minister, if you don't swallow it so quickly, but savor it between your lips and tongue, you will taste the slight sweetness after the bitterness." Only then did the woman swallow the tea in her mouth, moving gracefully.
He placed the tea cup in his hand on the small saucer in front of him.
The face of the man whom the other party called the prime minister showed a brief expression of pride, and then quickly retreated. He once again imitated the woman's actions just now, picked up the tea cup in his hand, and took a sip of the bitter tea inside.
Then, the bitter taste began to echo on the tip of his tongue again, eroding his taste buds and torturing him into a frown.
With great difficulty, he resisted the urge to swallow the bitter taste, endured the taste, and waited for the so-called sweetness at the end.
Then, he really felt the faint fragrance, a thin sweetness that stimulated the tip of his tongue that was tortured by bitterness, making his whole body sober and excited.
"Well... this feeling... is really indescribable." The man known as the Prime Minister put down his teacup again and sighed.
This bitter tea from Elland Hill is the favorite of some new nobles. God knows why they don't drink all kinds of other sweet drinks, but only like this strange thing that is difficult to swallow.
However, things that come from Ailan Hill are naturally good things. Similar ideas are popular in the entire aristocratic circle around the world. Everyone is learning from the strange pop culture of Ailan Hill and using it to highlight themselves
taste.
Of course, they will not trace the reason behind the popularity of this bitter drink. It is actually because the technicians of Airland Hill in the early days worked overtime day and night, so that they could only drink bitter tea to refresh themselves.
And after five years of hard work, many of these early technicians stood out and became the meritorious service of Ailan Hill and became the elders of Ailan Hill.
It is these people who have become the new aristocracy that has emerged in Ailan Hill. They control a large amount of social resources and are the mainstay of Ailan Hill. And their habits have naturally become a fashion and a symbol of the new aristocracy.
Arty people will naturally not understand that even if they drink themselves into bitter tea and pickle specimens, they will not be able to become the new nobles of Elanthir that they admire.
The woman in front of her is actually just a commoner from Ireland. The reason why she knows some of Ireland's etiquette is because she is an Ireland native and worked in the home of a Baron of Ireland a year ago.
Maid's job.
According to her level, she is almost an ordinary maid who can reach the entry level, and she only has a little knowledge of etiquette.
But she was still hired here by Gaoxin. She was abroad, traveling in high society, becoming a guest of high-ranking officials, and teaching them how to live as much as possible like a Baron of Ireland.
The essential reason why she can thrive here so well is that the waiters and servants of Ailan Hill who are more senior than her don't even bother to leave Ailan Hill and go to work in other countries.
In the eyes of many people, even if the salary is slightly higher, the benefits and working environment that can be enjoyed abroad are simply not as good as those in Ireland, so leaving one's own country to go abroad is basically a "self-indulgence"
Fall” choice.
It is precisely because of this that no tiger or monkey in the mountains can call himself a king. A maid like this who is willing to leave her hometown to work is very precious.
As a result, her value has also increased, and some nobles have even offered astonishing prices, willing to spend a night with her who is not beautiful, in order to satisfy their twisted desires for conquest.
For her, a woman who came to a foreign land to make money, reserve or face were no longer important. What she felt most deeply was actually the unobservable love that the other party showed towards her behind the so-called "conquest".
of awe.
Yes, awe! Even though these nobles who spend money to play with her are powerful, even if they have more gold coins, live in more spacious mansions, and enjoy the worship of more people, they still respect her from the bottom of their hearts.
Afraid of her.
Of course she also knew that the reason why the other party was afraid of her and in awe of her was actually just because she was born in a super empire that was so powerful that even the nobles in the past did not dare to look directly at it.
"The things you love about Lancier are really good." The prime minister stroked the warm porcelain tea bowl with his hand and continued to sigh with envy: "You people who love Lancier are also enviable.
."
He really envied those high-ranking officials who love Landhill. Just thinking about it, he knew that he could greed for more money and use more and greater power.
Look at the senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Eiland Hill. Which one doesn't have the arrogance of the emperor? Not to mention him as the prime minister, even the emperor who he assists must be accompanied carefully.
Every time these people came to deliver a message, it was with a tone that was similar to an order. They seemed to be assigning a task to a subordinate, and what is enviable is that after hearing the order from Ailan Hill, as a small country, they
We have to do our best to implement it here.
Before the maid could speak, a man wearing a guard's armor walked in from the door. When he walked, the armor would rub against each other, making a nice clattering sound. This kind of clashing and rubbing sound of soldiers' armor is now heard in Eiland Hill.
It's almost inaudible.
"Sir! The news just sent..." The officer walked behind the man, leaned over and reported softly: "Just a few hours ago, the Kashyyyk Empire surrendered..."
"Surrendered? Is the news reliable?" The man was stunned, then suddenly turned his head and looked at the officer: "Alan Hill accepted it? The royal family was not eliminated?"
"No, the radio news said that Emperor Harriet of the Kashyyyk Empire was demoted to Grand Duke Harriet and will guard Hanhai City for the empire forever..." The officer obviously understood the whole thing and quickly replied in a low voice.
"Are you sure?" The man was silent for a while, then asked again: "I want the most reliable news!"
"So far, there has been no false news in the radio news of Ireland..." the officer explained.
"Send someone to fly to Elland Hill and check it out for me!" the man ordered: "If necessary, go see Harriet himself! After you see him, bring back the exact information about him!"
"Yes! Sir." The officer nodded slightly again, then turned and walked out.
The man looked at the exquisite tea cup in front of him, with an uncertain expression on his face as if he was making up his mind. Finally, he suddenly stood up, startling the maid opposite.
Then, he loudly called for other maids to come in: "Come here, change clothes! I want to enter the palace to meet His Majesty!"
Several maids filed in with various clothes, and then began to change the men's clothes to wear to meet His Majesty.
…
"Your Majesty... it is unrealistic to expect the army to compete with Ailan Hill." Almost at the same moment, a general stood in front of a man wearing a gorgeous robe and persuaded: "Eighty percent of our army belongs to Ai Lanxier.
Under the command of Landseer, as long as the other party gives an order, it is not impossible for them to break into the palace."
"So...I have done so many things, but I still can't escape the tragic fate of national subjugation?" The man in the gorgeous robe had a mournful face, and his tone was full of the sorrow of a young daughter-in-law: "I ask for everything from Ellen Hill,
The result is still the same!"
"Your Majesty, we have already settled the matter..." The general began to persuade him, "You haven't noticed that the whereabouts of the royal family of the Jesno Empire are still unknown..."
"What's missing? Hundreds of soldiers stormed into the palace, gunshots rang out all night, and finally a fire was set, burning everything... In the end, I was told that my whereabouts were unknown. Will I also be missing like this?"
The man known as Your Majesty yelled bitterly.
"Your Majesty! The Prime Minister is outside asking for an audience..." A waiter came in and reported in a low voice.
"I think he also heard the news from the Kashyyyk Empire...he came to persuade you." The general smiled bitterly and reminded his monarch: "The empire's army cannot stand a fight, and the empire's economy cannot possibly compete.
Ailan Hill's...instead of losing everything in the end, why not take this opportunity to seek dignity, Your Majesty!"
"I..." The man in gorgeous attire hesitated to speak. Finally, he waved his hand and told the waiter beside him: "Let the prime minister come in! We have important things to discuss! No one can interrupt! Go!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" The waiter bowed slightly and walked out of the room with gentle steps. As soon as he closed the door, his slightly arched back straightened up and he looked sideways at the guard guarding the door.
and other waiters and maids waiting for orders.
I heard him clear his throat and order one of them: "On the 4th, use the telegraph room in the palace to send the news that the Emperor of the Palak Empire has been shaken back to Eiland Hill."
"Yes!" A maid bowed her head slightly, then turned around to deliver the message. The waiters and guards standing around didn't even care, as if they didn't hear any sound or see anyone.
