The Amber Sword: Scene 231 Feast of the Rose Garden


A horse-drawn carriage entered the White Rose Garden. Groups of servants were decorating the courtyard and led noble adults to the hall. They placed a long table in the Rose Garden and spread it on it. Put on a white cloth and put tableware such as silver plates and candlesticks.

Her Majesty's garden has long been crowded with people who know or do not know each other. A small royal banquet has begun to take shape. At least the scene is lively and harmonious, and there is no tension at all. mood.

Lucita's inner and outer cities have always been two worlds, and gentlemen living here have long been used to this.

Conrad Count jumped off the carriage in brisk steps and greeted a jazz gentleman on the face, or greeted the noble with a sneer and smiled, in the upper circle of the empire No secret can be hidden, who comes from a prominent origin, and who is related to the upper rank through the nepotism, everyone naturally knows.

His family has a heritage. If there are commendable deeds in his ancestors, the heritage and culture are even stronger. Therefore, he wants to disdain such an upstart, just like the military nobles looks down on the messenger. .

What's more, the heavy money Aura on these people is often unpleasant. The life of noble is naturally supported by money, but in their eyes money is often not worth mentioning, which is inferior to the townspeople in the countryside. Farmer almost makes sense.

Conrad walked through the outer courtyard of the White Rose Garden lightly. The court already gathered a lot of gentlemen in the courtyard. This is a social circle of high society. nobles gathered naturally to talk about it. It's just that the topics between these circles are changeable, like gentlemen's uncertain minds. Therefore, a large circle often forms many small circles, and different people can always find the same common language.

As a traditional noble, he is naturally alive in communication, and soon finds people he knows:

"Good evening. Henry, I thought you wouldn't come to this kind of party."

"Sometimes I have to give my face a face." noble, who was called by his name, raised his toast with a smile. It was a pretty flat youngster, with a smile on his face that was common on people with identity. Calm and comfortable.

The banquet was hosted by Her Majesty Correct. In fact, already notified the upper level nobles of the imperial capital one week ago. The content of the banquet was to receive a mountain people prince. But in private, already is actually a meeting ceremony.

Of course, the grander engagement ceremony will not take place until two weeks later. The banquet is for the public, and private work will be completed from now on.

This is how nobles has always acted.

Henriette took a sip of wine and continued to laugh: "But honestly, I came to the Young Countess, and I heard that she is beautiful."

"It's Her Highness the Princess, Mr. Henriette." On the side of the royal housekeeper's face was corrected.

"You're right," Henriette apologized, "All beautiful ladies are Princess."

Everyone laughed lightly. Everyone knows what this Princess is all about, but some things are not beautiful to say, as the gentlemen present at noble know the truth so far.

For this, even the royal housekeeper doesn't care.

"But our Prince Augsburg did not mind this. I heard that it only took him a week to rush from Vala to Vanquer. His six horse-drawn carriages had two broken cars on the road. It ’s been three rounds. "

"No way. mountain peoples always keep horses."

This playful remark made everyone present smile again, just like Vaunde elsewhere. The post-unsealed in Barbarian Tribe of other civilizations is always despising, even among rural farmers, there are many crude jokes about mountain people, not to mention among these noble gentlemen.

Prince mountain people flaunted his carriage. Before he arrived in the imperial capital, this affair had long been a chatter and a joke of high society.

Although most of the gentlemen present may not be able to own six horse-drawn carriages, this does not prevent them from making fun of the latter. And you can pack tickets without any envy or envy.

"So the prince is called Agios?" Conrad listened for a while before asking.

"That's his nickname."

There was another low laugh, and the name Augeos was obviously not the name of Kirrlutzian, nor the name of Holy Cathedral of Fire, but the name of mountain people. His Royal Highness, of course, has the teaching name of Kirrlutz, but no matter how he puts the title on his lips, people still ‘like’ the native name of Agios.

Conrad also laughed.

nobles's topic is always changing. When people can't find pleasure in His Royal Highness, some people talk about the fighting that happened in the imperial capital.

The movement of Hanlu Villa is too big, which I can't hide or hide, especially after Brando flattened half a mountain, Ciel's bunch of silver light that divided the sky, I am afraid that most of the residents of Lucita -- have not yet fallen asleep Should be aware of it.

Except for a few people, nobles also did not know what Her Majesty was preparing. Some people talked about the riots in the outer city and brought the two things together.

"It's not so good outside."

"A mess."

During the fierce discussion, some people will inevitably disagree, so a middle-aged noble said with a slight disdain: "Do you care that this situation is not good? Ha, young is really good."

"What's going on?"

"could it be that isn't it?"

The middle-aged noble shook his head: "The small wind and small waves forget it/that's all are simply incomparable with the riots of 23 years ago and the year of the upheaval."

The younger generation of noble has no way of knowing what happened decades ago, while the older noble's face showed a look of memories.

Behind the riots of the year of upheaval, there were even nobles involved. Even the city guards struck inside. The rebels once came to the inner city. The situation now is comparable to that time, but it is just a beginning. What can Caomin do? How can it be compared with the noble rebellion.

At the end of the year, it was not resolved peacefully. As long as Holy Cathedral and the top powerhouses did not retreat, there was nothing to be afraid of.

After listening to the description of middle-aged noble, youngster's face has been relieved a lot, which seems to be a comparison with that year. It's not too much trouble right now.

The worries of these noble gentlemen always come and go, especially when they find that their vital interests are not closely related. Conrad quickly noticed that the Henry opposite him had become a little impatient. .

But at this time, the crowd suddenly harassed appropriately. Conrad Count subconsciously raises head came, the crowd near the hall separated, and a luxury carriage appeared outside the gate.

A carriage of six horses.

Augus sits in a carriage. He frowned a little impatiently. Contrary to the rumors on the outside, he was not rushed to the imperial capital by himself, but was rushed by the father of his mountain people hero.

Just like Her Majesty the Queen needs the support of mountain people, this mountain people hero also needs the support of the empire. In the throne dispute of the king of the previous generation mountain people, the latter won as a hero, but as a champion Heir to the throne, its foundation is not as solid as expected.

Fortunately, mountain people is not an empire. The origin is not as serious as imagined, as long as it is recognized by the Empire and Holy Cathedral, it can still rule the vast mountains of Vala smoothly.

Sometimes things are so weird. mountain people see the empire as a feud and enemy, but in private they believe in the illusory praise given by this most powerful enemy.

As if it can be recognized by the enemy, it is also a great glory.

However, all this has nothing to do with Agios. Probably the only thing that makes him feel a little more comfortable is that he is the only son of King mountain people. It is a pity that mountain people's throne contenders have not always been accessible only to those above the throne. It is different from a civilized empire. Heirs from the eldest sons of the surrounding clans have the same qualifications.

"You are going to tame this mare for me, she is good for you and me."

This is the only thing the man said to him before he left.

This dark-skinned prince is quite unconcerned. Although he likes beautiful women is not fake, it does not mean that he hopes to go to the capital to work hard for a woman. Just as the gentlemen of the imperial capital were not used to his appearance, he did not catch the cold self-proclaimed gentlemen.

A woman is like a mare. According to the mountain people tradition, mares in herds are regarded as the most valuable property. Only the healthiest mares can give birth to the best children.

But no matter how good the mare is, it's not worth shaming him.

He made a decision for already. To give the female Count a good-looking, although the territory of the empire can not do so blatantly, Her Majesty does not control the Vala deed, he will let the other party know how the men of the Noel card family discipline the one's own wife.

At this time, the servant opened the door of the carriage, and Ogios sorted out the one's own appearance before getting out of the carriage.

He originally thought that he was ready for already to attract a lot of disdain or hostile eyes outside the carriage, but he didn't expect to get out of the carriage and found that no one put his eyes on him.

He raises head.

It was discovered that His Majesty the Emperor's supreme emperor already appeared outside the hall, everyone was bowing their salute, and for a moment was quiet in the entire courtyard.

When people came back to raises head, they noticed the girls around The Silver Queen.

This is the first time that this newly sealed female Count appeared in front of the noble circle in the upper empire.

The simple and bright eyes attracted everyone's attention in an instant, followed by the flame-like long hair, and the crowd could not help but whisper a sigh of sigh. The most rare thing in Lucita is beauty damsel, but the sweltering wind that prevailed in the Empire was swept away by this clean and neat beauty.

It seems as if a fresh mountain wind is mixed in the turbid and flashy urban air, and it is really refreshing. Most of the men present couldn't help but a slight burst of heart, and even the ladies were shining.

Good clean girl.

Unfortunately it is a mountain people.

"Beautiful is privileged." Henriette in the crowd didn't care, raised his glass to pay tribute to Scarlett, his eyes were full of appreciation.

"How?" Someone asked deliberately, "Henry, are you going to compete with His Royal Highness?"

"What's wrong?" Henry laughed without saying a word. The meaning inside and outside the words all looked down on the mountain people prince --, which is both mountain people and noble.

This is also the thought in the hearts of most people present.

Under the eyes of all, Scarlett frowned slightly, facing all the gentlemen and ladies present, her eyes were filled with tension and anxiety. But it also burned an unyielding flame.

If it was a day ago, she might still be a puppet, still at the mercy, but now that already knows that Lord Thane is here.

It's just such news, even if there is no explanation, it will be enough to make the unknown flames in her heart burn.

The Silver Queen Constance stands beside Scarlett. Slightly shorter than the former, but the inherent demeanor of higher ranked person on her body and the calmness to control everything naturally separate the two.

Across the Empire, I'm afraid no one has dared to face this young girl who looks only fourteen or five years old.

Of course, except for some guys who do n’t know where they are from, do n’t know if they are alive or dead. -- is like a certain Count of Tonigel.

She gave a light glance at everyone present, it seemed that already no longer took the previous defeat to heart, turned back, and said to the girl next to her, "What? It looks like you are not very satisfied with my arrangement with you ? "

Scarlett didn't answer. She knew why she appeared here.

"You are mountain people. It is best to belong to the arms of Dashan. That is the son of the hero of mountain people. could it be that is not worthy of you?"

The Silver Queen smiled: "Do you still think of your Lord Thane to save you? I wish he had the guts. Do you know where this is?"

"Lord Thane, he won't be fooled. You don't want to take advantage of this."

It turns out that what kind of Thane is there will be what kind of subordinates, the dialogue between the two women heard the horrified warrior on the side of the --. When did someone dare to speak to His Majesty the Emperor?

But The Silver Queen didn't seem to care, and asked, "Really. He doesn't even care about the woman he loves?"

"I love Lord Thane's silently, and I'm just an unknown person forget it/that's all beside Lord Thane. There are many girls better than me around Lord Thane."

"Did he look down on you?"

Scarlett didn't answer, but bright eyes defaulted to this.

"No, you are the Count of the Empire, or even Her Highness the Princess. No one can look down on you --." The Silver Queen spoke sharply: "But give Azure Spear to an inconspicuous person around you. Your Lord Thane is still Really rich world. "

Scarlett froze for a moment, and then she felt a little in her heart. She never thought about it. Such a simple truth, she was so unremarkable. But why does Lord Thane always give such important things to her?

She was suddenly a little scared.

Afraid that Brando really came here to save her, this so-called banquet is just a carefully arranged trap. She hopes to be a little later, even if it is one day later, not now.

She had hoped to see the face she knew so well in her dreams, but now she was even more afraid, her face fading away.

The Silver Queen looked at the expression on the face of the mountain people girl with a lot of time, and she said, "You must be hoping that your Lord Thane will not come to my banquet tonight."

Scarlett looks at the latter with hate.

The Queen smiled slightly: "But I think he will come."

While Scarlett was wondering where Her Majesty's self-confidence came from, the latter continued to say lightly: "If he doesn't come, I will send you to the bed of that mountain people Prince tonight, You know, this is the custom of mountain people, and there is no joke about it. "

"But you should be honored. This is a genuine prince. The Thane's crown of the Vala agreement has been recognized by the Empire and Holy Cathedral. Maybe you can become the queen of mountain people in the future."

Scarlett's teeth rattled, watching Her Majesty the Queen like a demon. She closed her eyes and was disheartened.

In the face of such desperation, she has no choice at all.

"Young Countess looks as if your face is very poor. Is could it be that physically ill?"

Standing under the steps, Conrad suddenly thought in his mind.
