Chapter 38 38: Celebration Banquet·After

Anji's eyes fell on the black-robed attendant, and his pupils trembled.

Slade, who was fully two meters tall, walked into the hall one behind the other, and the former seemed to be clinging to him.

That man was a bit taller than Slade, and was four to five times as wide as a normal person.

But this huge body was tightly covered by a larger black robe, and his entire face was covered by a pitch-black mask engraved with complex red patterns, so that no trace of it was exposed.

Along with this man's steps, the huge black robe on his body began to shake slightly, and this made Anji realize that something was wrong.

The upper part of the robe seemed to be held up high by the unknown object inside, while the other parts more or less collapsed inwards, making the whole thing seem empty.

If I had to describe it, it was like this person secretly tucked several hula hoops under his arms and put a layer of fabric on the outside.

It is precisely because of this that his body looks unusually wide. It is difficult to imagine what the person underneath looks like.

Although curious, Angie didn't look any further - because Slade was walking towards her.

"Have you decided on your last name?"

Anji bowed in salute, lowered his head and replied:

"Back to Lord Slade: I've already decided on a last name, it's going to be Grace - Angie Grace."

Slade looked at this subordinate who was obviously more polite than usual, and said nothing for a while. He was silent for a few seconds before suddenly smiling.

"Angie Gracek? You are really lazy."

Anji still maintained a respectful look, but actually she felt a little embarrassed. Because she really didn't think about what her last name should be, so she chose "Graske", which sounds very close to "Gloske", and just dealt with it casually.

one time.

As if he saw through her embarrassment, Slade didn't say anything more, but just reminded: "The celebration party is about to start. Find a seat and sit down. Jessir, you should go too."

Just as Anji was wondering, she saw Jessier beside her, lifting up Slade's skirt and saluting, then turning around and leaving.

At this moment, she finally realized that as a maid, Jessyl could never attend the celebration banquet with people of high status.

This made Anji feel a little uncomfortable.

Slade watched the girl leave without saying anything, and then led the two people behind him straight to the long table at the end.

Without Jessiel as a caring strategist, Anji was at a loss as to what to do——

Which table should she sit at?

Where to eat is an age-old topic for mankind. While Angie didn’t know which table she should sit at, she also didn’t want to sit with strangers.

This was a rare banquet, and she didn't want to be spoiled by strange people.

Anji couldn't help but frown and think. At this moment, an "old" friend appeared in front of her.

"Angie, congratulations on becoming a knight."

Scott came up to congratulate him enthusiastically, but found that the other party was staring at him with shining eyes, and couldn't help but shudder.

"Scott~" Angie walked forward affectionately and made a coy voice: "Which table are you sitting at?~"

——————————

After everyone sat down in their seats, a loud horn sound resounded throughout the castle from the highest point of the Shutward Palace.

The banquet officially begins.

At this time, sitting on the innermost and most noble horizontal table were Slade, Ms. Quicksilver, the weirdo in black robes, and the red-haired Earl Grissom Nogo.

Sitting at the table closest to them were Barton and some people Anji didn't know.

And Angie got his wish and sat between two acquaintances, Sean on the left and Scott on the right. They were just ordinary knights, so naturally they could only sit at the farthest seat from the upper seat, that is, at the table.

end.

But these rights cannot stop Anji's desire for delicious food. Since arriving here, all kinds of dry bread have been eaten all day long - some are soaked in water, some are moldy, and some are soaked in curses.

This was a torture comparable to the top ten tortures for her.

Now, everyone has a metal dinner plate, a knife and a spoon in front of them. Watching the two people around him wiping the tableware with the white bread on the table, Anji followed suit, but with a sense of guilt.

He muttered softly:

"Can I sneak away this white bread and eat it?"

After all, she had never seen such soft bread before, but it was a waste of time to use "precious bread" as toilet paper.

Scott glanced at Angie with some disgust and sighed. Sean, on the other hand, was a little more sympathetic and patiently comforted her, saying that as long as she just takes her away secretly after the banquet is over, no one will find out.

The first thing brought by the servants was the wine for appetizers before the meal. Anji carefully raised this exquisitely carved iron goblet and took a sip.

The taste is somewhat different from modern wine, with a stronger sourness, but she is not a connoisseur, so she cannot judge whether it is good or bad.

The second dish was an oatmeal porridge, but it was light golden in color and looked great. Although Angie was not interested in it and even thought the taste was too bland, she drank it with wine.

After this, it was finally the meat part that Anji had been waiting for.

A few servants were seen hurriedly placing a square table covered with a huge food cage in the middle of the aisle. When they opened the lid, the aroma of barbecue instantly overflowed and echoed throughout the hall.

Anji stared closely at the golden roasted suckling pig, her eyes shining, and her hands on the table were tangled together, fidgeting as if she was going to rush out and snatch the whole pig off in the next second.

Just when the girl was immersed in the scent of meat and couldn't extricate herself, Scott bumped her twice with his elbow and said in a deep voice: "Angie, calm down, Lord Slade is watching you."

Anji's body was shaken, and she swallowed her saliva without looking at the woman sitting at the end.

No...why didn't Slade go see the delicious golden pig instead of her?

Sean sighed, "Don't worry, the servants will bring the meat later."

Time passed minute by minute, and it seemed to Anji that several years had passed. She stared closely at the servants who were still cutting meat carefully, her eyes gradually became dry, and there were some crystal tears in her eyes.

At this moment, Anji seemed to hear a faint burst of laughter. Looking along the sound, it was Ms. Mercury who was sitting upright and expressionless.

Realizing something was wrong, she quickly glanced around.

Slade, who was sitting next to Ms. Mercury, seemed to have a slightly raised mouth.

Gleason Nogo, who was also sitting in the upper seat, actually caught Angie's gaze and smiled slightly, with a hint of "tolerance and understanding" in his smile.

The gentleman in black robe still didn't take off his mask, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly. The other guests didn't pay much attention to her, an unknown girl, but Barton looked at her without any obstruction and smiled particularly brightly.

"..."

Anji quietly withdrew her gaze and conscientiously controlled her emotions.

In the following time, neither the crispy roasted golden pig nor the fragrant braised pigeon could cause any emotional changes in her appearance. The girl strictly followed the "three fingers to hold the meat and put it into the mouth" and "use a knife to

According to the aristocratic dining principles such as "Insert grilled meat and dip it in salt", even the appearance of eating is extremely elegant, and the face is kept absolutely clean throughout the process.

She could still feel the eyes occasionally falling on her, but she never heard that obscure laughter again.

After the meal is over, the guests should disperse and stay.

Although the process was a bit jail-breaking, Anji had a good meal for the first time and was still in a happy mood.

She secretly packed up the white bread and the cheese that was served last and hid it under her skirt. Then she walked up to Slade and chatted politely with him.

Just as she was bowing to leave, she was stopped by Slade.

"Where are you going?"

Anji thought for a while and answered truthfully: "I want to find Jessir."

Slade calmly glanced at the girl's hand holding the hem of her skirt, and there was a rare smile in his usually cold eyes.

"She is not short of food. Come find me in the lobby on the top floor tomorrow morning."

Anji said obediently, then bowed and left the hall, quickly leaving the hall, and then whispered in a deserted corner:

"This guy is awesome!"

In the end, Angie, who did not believe in evil, took the bread and went to see Jessir.

Jessiel enthusiastically accepted the food and explained to An Ji with some embarrassment:

"Actually, Lord Slade has asked the kitchen servants to leave a piece of food for me when there is a banquet...Occasionally, Lord Slade will let me have dinner with her. So you don't have to worry about me.

~”

I see.

Anji didn't say anything more, but it was inevitable that she felt a little bitter.

It turns out that the worst person is herself.

After being comforted by Jesiel's touch on the head, she walked through the long and dark corridor of the tower and returned to her room, only to find a small, delicate white box at the door.

Anji opened the box and took a look. Inside was ten shining gold coins and a note with beautiful handwriting:

"This is your reward."

Anji tilted her head in confusion. She couldn't figure out how on earth the woman used "claws" to write such words.
