"Yes, very satisfied. I have to admit that this is the most satisfying wine I have ever tasted. Is the New World so suitable for developing vineyards?"
She looked at Xia De inquiringly, Xia De smiled and talked about her business secrets:
"Yes, we have the best black land, the best family fertilizer 'Jinkela', the best sunshine conditions, the most hardworking warehouse orange cats, and cheap and cheap workers. Your Highness, I bet, Our wines are the best on the whole continent!"
In fact, the grapes for wine making are defective products that Miss Galina's estate can't finish. After hearing Tifa's mention, Shad wanted to make wine to prevent waste.
Princess Margaret smiled understandingly at Shade's "boasting":
"Sir, are you interested in providing drinks to the nobles in Willendale? I can give you some tax convenience."
She squeezed her fingers and said, Xia De's eyes flicked over the red nails of the other party, and he answered fluently according to the "line" that he had agreed with Mr. Bernhardt:
"Sorry Your Highness, my winery does not produce much each year. We have regular partners in Coldwater Port and Fort Midhill in the De La Rion area."
"It's such a pity."
The princess said, but she couldn't see any regretful expression on her face, but because her back was facing the window, the sunlight made the ring on her finger casually placed on the armrest of the sofa sparkle, and also made her slender and fair neck look very seductive. people:
"I'm not a vampire, what am I thinking?"
In the laughter of "her", Xia De thought in his heart.
Princess Margaret continued:
"I heard that you are friends with Viscount Bernhardt? This time, I specially brought some red wine for him to taste. I don't know, how much do you have?"
This is her real purpose. Giving this "high-end wine" provided by Shad to the nobles of Delarion is definitely the best personal gift.
"Amount of wine?"
Shad made a embarrassed expression, and then glanced at Mr. Bernhardt, who nodded slightly.
This is acting, which shows that the two are communicating about this matter.
"Your Highness, I am honored that you like the red wine produced by our winery. But this time, I came to Huntingdon as a visiting friend, so I didn't bring too much luggage, and when I entered the country from De La Rion, too much The wine will also be taxed, otherwise I will directly transport it in a large wooden barrel. Sorry, Your Highness, I still need to save some, and I will use it when I visit old friends in Willowdale next week, so if you want, I can use it In my personal name, I present you with 8 bottles."
"Oh, Mr. Holmes, perhaps you may reconsider."
Without the princess speaking, Mr. Bernhardt took the initiative to "persuade" his friend, and his tone was even a bit exaggerated:
"With the noble status of His Royal Highness, you will not be allowed to pay in vain. Haven't you always wanted to open up the market in Carson Rico? This is a good opportunity. You are not always blocked when you negotiate business with the people of Delarion. Why don't you come and do business with us."
Xia De hesitated:
"Yes, those nobles of Delarion suck..."
I originally wanted to use the title "vampire" as a satire, but then I remembered that Mr. Bernhardt is a vampire, so I changed my words:
"...they are all blood-sucking tapeworms. I contacted a nobleman with ties to the royal family. She actually held my cat hostage and said, 'Young gentleman, you don't want your cat to lose its owner, do you?'" Threatening me to agree to her rude demands."
In the end, Xia De agreed to Rezia. This is the scene of Her Royal Highness imitating an opera.
"Then how about 10 bottles? Your Highness, these wines are not worth much. I am willing to give them to you, but I specially brought them by boat from the New World. It is to express my heart to my old friends."
"Mr. Holmes, these drinks will be presented as gifts to the royal family of Delarion. I think this will probably help your business. The noble ladies of the Northland are really rude."
Marguerite Anjou said with a smile, Xia De thought for a while and nodded:
"Then you can take 12 bottles, and I wish you all the best for your visit to De La Rion. Those wines are now stored in the estate of Viscount Bernhardt, and I am staying there temporarily. I will send them tomorrow, Is it in time?"
The princess said, and then she stretched her hand back, and the maid standing behind her handed a money order to Xia De:
"Be careful, your wine is worth the price. I hope that after I return from De La Rion, I can still discuss with you the style of the New World and the experience of wine making."
"No, no, I can't ask for your money."
Shad hurriedly shied away, so Mr. Bernhardt took the money order for him:
"Mr. Holmes, how can you refuse the princess?"
Then he pushed away Xia De's hand and stuffed the money order into Xia De's pocket.
Marguerite Anjou is very satisfied with Mr. Bernhardt's performance, Mr. Bernhardt is very satisfied with Shade's performance, and Shade is also very satisfied with the princess's performance—he just saw the number on the money order is "75" .
"15 bottles, 5 pounds a bottle?"
Although 5 pounds is already a very high figure for the poor, but for the high-end red wine consumed by the nobles, this price is simply unaffordable, such as the one that Mr. Bernhardt invited Shade to drink at lunch A bottle of Midrow Winery was cellared in 1803, and the price of a single bottle is definitely close to three-digit gold pounds.
The gift that Margaret Anjou wanted to give to the royal family of Delarion, although it didn't have to be that level of famous wine, but the price of a bottle of 5 pounds was really too shabby.
[It's Krona. 】
"She" reminded softly.
It was only then that Xia De remembered that this was Carson Rick, and there was no reason for the money order handed out by the princess to use "golden pounds" as the unit. At the current exchange rate, 11 to 12 gold pounds can be exchanged for one kroner.
He raised his eyebrows, and when he thanked Princess Marguerite Anjou, his smile became more sincere. Without the blessing of fame, no matter how good his wine is, such a high price is still a premium. It seems that the princess of the Anjou family has rich savings just like the princess of the Cavendish family.
Thinking about it this way, if it wasn't for the inconvenient explanation of the source of the wine, and it was illegal to make wine privately, he could actually make a fortune by producing blood wine in large quantities.
"However, will this blood brew be addictive..."
This is also something to consider.
Although Marguerite Anjou also has the power of a witch, but because that power is too low, her aversion to men is not very strong. Her Royal Highness had nothing to do today, and she was tired of the visits of local noble youths, so she left Shad and Mr. Bernhardt to talk to her.
The specific content of the conversation is about the customs of the Old World and the New World. But Shad had never been to the New World at all, so with the cooperation of Mr. Bernhardt, he focused on the situation of Delarion. It happened that Princess Margaret was going to leave for the Pearl of the North the night after tomorrow, that is, Saturday night, so she asked Shad about the city of Tobesk.
Tobesk is considered Shade's stronghold, because he is related to people of different classes. His detective work makes him often go to the lower city, so he is familiar with the living conditions of the nobles, middle class, clergy, and ordinary poor in Tobesk. , I also know a lot about Tobesk's lace news...especially those about myself.
Princess Margaret is very interested in these things, especially the part about the nobles of the Northland. Shad tried his best to maintain his own character settings, so he didn't know too much about the privacy of the nobles, the interior decoration of the king's study in the Yodel Palace, the little hobbies of the royal family members, and the location of the MI6 stronghold. Not to mention the portfolio of the kingdom's military documents from the duchess.
Although I can't go into too much detail, considering that in the next few weeks, I will get to know the princess again as "Hamilton of Regard", so when the topic talks about this "young knight", I will She said a few good words for herself, paving the way for the next contact with her real identity.
The three tasks of "contacting the moon of guidance", "obtaining the book "Secret of Immortality" borrowed by the princess" and "finding the grey-headed eagle" are all related to her.
"Speaking of Hamilton of Regard, I think His Royal Highness has heard of him. I had the good fortune to meet that young gentleman at the Prophet's Association on Silver Cross Avenue in Tobesk, and even talked to this great city in 1853. The player's champion, who has played Rhodes cards. I have to admit that he is really handsome, and he treats people kindly, talks elegantly, and is quite shrewd."
Shad was talking~www.mtlnovel.com~Mr. Bernhardt looked at him with a sullen face and squinted eyes while holding the teacup. This vampire knew Shad's true identity.
"I've also heard related rumors. It is said that the knight is actually the lover of Duke Galina Cavendish?"
The princess with pale golden hair asked softly.
Xia De did not expect that such strange rumors were also spread among the nobles of Carson Rik. He wanted to refute this statement, because at present, he can only be regarded as the lover of Miss Galina's personal maid and grandniece, not the lover of the Duchess. But hastily refuted it will only be suspected of identity, so he explained:
"Yes, this kind of rumor is widely circulated in Tobesk, and there are many false claims in the tabloids. But in that kind of metropolis, such rumors are as many as winter snowflakes, so I also say that the actual situation Not sure."
Princess Margaret nodded slightly, but Mr. Bernhardt subconsciously believed that it was true. He didn't understand why he felt that way, after all he saw Shad Hamilton as so upright and helpful. It's just a vague, blood-sucking feeling, even if Xia De has any emotional connection with the humanoid relic, he will not be surprised:
"Why do I feel that way? Am I normal?"
Mr. Bernhardt was thinking while listening to Shade's conversation with the princess, feeling baffled by his own thoughts.
