In short, after meeting the bride and groom, the banquet officially began for Shad and Dorothy.
Dorothy was temporarily separated from Shad to see her friends in the literary world, and Rezia was probably now with Princess Margaret, who was to entertain a visitor from the south.
Therefore, Xia De planned to meet the great witch first. Witches always hate lively banquets because there are too many men in the banquet, but they must attend this banquet. Only in this way can the two of them get to know each other reasonably, and then they can gradually deepen their relationship.
For the distinguished guests attending the banquet, especially the distinguished guests of his wife's family, Mr. Eisberg prepared a separate lounge in the side corridor on the third floor of the Lake View Manor Mansion. When Xia De stepped onto the third floor with Mia in his arms, the memories of the midsummer night flooded into his mind again. He stopped at the last step of the stairs and looked at the door of the banquet hall facing the stairs.
A few months ago, Dorothy broke through the gate and flew out, and then the doctor desperately used the words of sublimation to severely injure "Mrs. La Soya", as if right in front of her eyes:
"I really miss it..."
The last time I came here, the corridor was still full of blood mist, and the exploding door completely destroyed the corridor, but on this early winter night, the place has long since returned to calm.
The door of the banquet hall was open, and inside was a long table full of food, and various gold and silver utensils under the gas lamp showed the wealth of the Asperger family. Guests who haven't eaten can get food here, but there are not many people inside at this time. After all, for this grand wedding, there are tables with food everywhere in the mansion and manor, and there is even a special barbecue in the back garden. Tent for leg of lamb...
"Meow~"
Seeing that Xia De didn't intend to enter the banquet hall, but turned aside instead, Mia suddenly let out a cry, stretched out her little paw and patted its arm, this cat has always shown a different way when it comes to eating. wisdom.
"I'll get you something to eat later."
Xia De patted the cat's head, and it stopped barking.
"Are you getting smarter?"
The lounge prepared by the Asperger family for important guests is on the left side of the corridor on the third floor. Of course, it is not easy to enter there, but when Shade came to the stairs, the guards in charge just glanced at him, and respectfully called out the name of "Hamilton of Regard", and then led him enthusiastically. Came to the door of the room where Miss Galina was.
The pendant on the chest was so hot that the two witches were indeed inside. When Xia De entered the door, they were holding wine glasses, standing at the window looking at the lively courtyard outside and chatting.
In the night, the backs of the two witches in evening gowns firmly attracted Xia De's attention. Dorothy had just said that the prettiest girl at the ball was the bride, but Shad knew very well that these two ladies should be the prettiest girls.
"Cough cough."
Seeing the ladies watching Shad look at the window fascinated, the little princess Adelina coughed and told Shad that she was here too.
Xia De rarely saw Agelina not staying with Rezia. At this time, the little princess changed out of her bridesmaid dress and wore the cumbersome princess dress she wears every day, sitting on the sofa in the lounge, Looking at a document with some displeasure.
"Good evening, Miss Galina, evening, Your Highness Adelina, good evening, Miss Silvia."
He greeted them in turn according to their identity. The sixteen-year-old princess was so happy that she wanted to put down the document in her hand, but when she saw Miss Galina turn around from the window, she bit her lip and obediently continued to read the page in her hand.
"Good evening, Shad."
Because Miss Sylvia is "not yet familiar" with Shad, only Miss Galina greets him. The witch with the red wine glass turned around, the color of the red wine in her hand was like the purest ruby, making her look even more attractive:
"Do you want to try this red wine? This is a personal gift from Princess Margaret. It tastes very good."
The Duchess smiled and said, of course she could tell the origin of these red wines. After all, the raw material for winemaking is the flawed grapes that cannot be eaten in her estate.
"Thank you, but I don't want to drink now. Oh, what is Your Highness Adelina looking at?"
Xia De asked curiously, Miss Galina glanced at Tifa, and the black-haired maid explained softly:
"Yesterday, at the dinner where His Majesty hosted Princess Margaret of Anjou, Her Majesty recommended her mathematics teacher to Her Majesty, Emma Seale, a well-known scholar in the United Kingdom of Carsonrick. Miss Via, I hope Miss Sylvia can get library access permits from several schools in the Tobysk University area."
The young scholar, Miss Sylvia, stood at the window, with her left hand across her chest, and her right raised a glass to him:
"Thanks to His Majesty Larousse III for his generosity."
"While waiting for the banquet to start just now, Miss met Her Highness Adelina, and asked Miss Sylvia to come up with some questions to test Her Highness's math level."
The little princess quietly showed Xia De a distressed look from behind the pages, apparently sitting here for more than an hour. Now that the banquet started, she still couldn't get permission to leave, and her mood was completely written on her face at this time.
Miss Galina smiled and said:
"Since I was awarded the title, I have rarely cared about the education of family members. Now it seems that the mathematics level of the royal family has indeed regressed a lot over the years."
Adelina, who was watching Xia De quietly, almost wrote "Help me" on her face.
"Can I look at the questions?"
Xia De asked, then walked to the sofa and took the handwritten straw paper:
"Oh, this is indeed a very professional question. But I think His Highness should go back and think about it slowly. After all, this is a wedding banquet, and it is still a bit too noisy, which is not conducive to concentrating."
The sixteen-year-old princess nodded immediately, and then looked expectantly at her aunt. The smile on Miss Galina's face continued:
"Okay then, Adelina, remember to send the answer to my manor before tomorrow evening."
said the little princess aloud, and then realized that she was acting very unladylike. She blushed and cleaned up the papers on the table, and was about to leave with her maid, but stopped again and asked Xia De:
"Knight, in 20 minutes, the riding competition around Lakeview Manor will start. Are you interested in participating? I heard from my mother that you performed very well at the racecourse last time."
Xia De naturally nodded in agreement, as Dorothy said just now, Rezia asked her to tell Xia De to let Xia De agree to Agelina's invitation:
"Sure, it'll be fun."
"Then I'll prepare the horse for you now, we'll see you later, and I'll change clothes!"
With that said, she happily left the room.
"Changing clothes?"
Xia De looked at Miss Galina in surprise. The latter put the wine glass on the window sill, and the red nail polish on her fingers reflected a somewhat bewitching color under the gas lamp:
"Since it's a wedding game, of course it's a two-person horse race. If you want to participate, you must have a female companion. I think Adelina has tacitly agreed that you will choose her as a female companion."
Miss Sylvia on the side also smiled and said:
"I heard from Miss Galina that you had an affair with her grand-niece, this one? But looking at her, it's obvious..."
"No, no, of course not her, Her Highness Adelina is only sixteen years old!"
Xia De was so frightened that he hastily argued that although the adult age in this world is sixteen, outsiders have their own rules:
"Ladies, don't make fun of me. Today's banquet is very lively, don't you plan to go down and take a look around?"
He also walked to the window, and together with the two witches looked at the courtyard illuminated by the lights. At this time, there were more and more guests, and laughter and noise came from the tents set up from time to time. It's a pity that the sun has not completely set, otherwise the courtyard illuminated by lights at night will look even more gorgeous.
When Xia De and Dorothy walked in just now, the walkway in the middle of the courtyard was still a little empty, but now there was an extra long table. In addition to various delicacies, there was also a five-story-high cream table on the table. big cake.
Xia De immediately felt that Mia, who was being held by him, was restless again.
"You know, we never like this kind of lively occasion."
Miss Galina said, and then glanced at Miss Sylvia:
"Xia De, don't you have something to say?"
"Oh yes."
Xia De took out the draft paper he had written:
"Miss Sylvia, if you have time, please take a look at this for me in the last two days."
"paper?"
The young big witch was a little surprised, but she still nodded:
"No problem, but if you want me to help you proofread the details, you'd better give me the finished draft...imaginary numbers? You actually have research on this? Interesting, you should really think about my last time proposal."
It meant being her apprentice, but she dared not say it in front of Miss Galina.
Miss Sylvia imitated Miss Galina's appearance, put the wine glass on the window sill, flipped through the manuscript, and was completely attracted.
"Xia De, Sylvia and I will probably stay here forever. If you encounter unsolvable troubles during the banquet, you can come here to find me."
"What trouble will there be at the banquet?"
Xia De asked curiously, then thought for a while:
"Do MI6 and Gray Gloves have any plans?"
"Why do you think so?"
Miss Galina asked curiously ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Xia De nodded, he did not receive any orders from both sides for this banquet:
"Could it be that there are thieves here?"
Thefts in the city have been frequent in recent weeks, even to an abnormal frequency.
"Oh, I do suspect that there are some kind of humanoid relics related to the theft in the city, but Lakeview Manor has nothing to do with that."
The witch said again, not giving Xia De any chance to guess, she squinted her eyes and looked out of the window, and said softly:
"There's a little problem with Schluchsee between Lakeview and Lemaire."
"What little problem?"
"To put it simply, it seems that something big is about to appear from the middle of the lake."
