This gaze made Roger feel a little nervous, and a slight electric current seemed to be rising on his spine.

But at this time he was looking at the count Pons, and in order to avoid being rude, he had no time to divert his sight.

When he finished the ceremony, he also waited for the Count Pons to report to his family to finish the ceremony.

Then Pons introduced his wife: "My beautiful wife, the daughter of the King of France, and the princess Cecilia."

So Roger politely saluted the princess.

Then Pons and the princess personally led the way and invited Roger into the castle.

Only then did Roger have time to look at the princess's entourage.

However, among the female entourages of as many as 10 princesses, who looked like Franks, Arabs, Egyptians and local Lebanese, Roger could no longer determine who was looking at him just now, which made him feel special.

After entering the hall, Roger found that the decoration here was extremely luxurious, showing the French court style.

This reminded him of the Taranto Castle in Bosimund, Little.

It seems that this French princess Cecilia and Constance, the mother of Boschmond, have almost the same taste as these sisters.

Roger couldn't help but think of Constance's little white-faced cousin, the Taranto Regent.

He thought with a bad taste, wondering if Princess Cecilia also had a hobby in this regard.

Earl Pons politely asked Roger: "Your Excellency is coming from afar and need some shower and rest."

Roger wasn't tired at all.

He slept well last night and was full of energy in the morning. He only had a marching morning, and for him it was simply a walk.

But of course he could hear what the other party meant, because he thought he was dirty.

So he politely expressed his gratitude.

To the convenience, he asked his servant to take Roger to the room he had prepared for him.

Then Pons offered an invitation: "Great Earl of Sicily, we will hold a banquet to welcome you in the evening, please attend."

Naturally, Roger would not refuse. The other party would like to admire his face, so of course he would give him face.

After another politeness, Roger followed the servant to his room.

The room is located on the second floor of the castle. Roger, who has a good understanding of the castle structure, guesses that it should be directly below the master's bedroom on the third floor.

After the servant opened the door, Roger did not go in immediately, but instead admired the decorations in the corridor with great interest.

Henk took his guards into the room to check.

Roger noticed that his room was in the middle of the corridor on the second floor, and on the stairs leading to the upper and lower levels, was the room of the senior servant.

After Henk came out and gave Roger a safe gesture, Roger walked into the bedroom arranged for him.

The bedroom is large and luxuriously decorated. The bed is covered with silk bedding, which makes it look comfortable.

The servant asked if he would arrange a bath for Roger now.

Roger nodded happily. He hadn't taken a good shower for a long time.

I had never taken a bath in Romsel Jupiter before.

In Tassus, Armenia, the houses can only be simply washed with cold water.

In Antioch, the stinky Rugero is not a person who knows how to enjoy it, and everything is mainly practical.

The castle bathroom has only cold water, and its comfort level is not as good as that of the Sicily stables.

I guess I am used to enjoying the "gifts" I will feel dissatisfied when I go there.

Roger thought that he would not disappoint him too much as Pons's behavior.

His expectations were met.

The servants brought in a huge wooden barrel, put in warm water suitable for hot and cold, and then sprinkled rose petals on the water.

On the side of the wooden barrel are Egyptian lint cotton towels and local specialty olive soap.

The maid who served was blocked by Henk, which was what Roger told him.

He is still thinking about the look that made him uncomfortable before.

So no matter how enjoyment is, vigilance is not missing.

Under the gaze of his personal guards, Roger comfortably soaked himself in the wooden barrel until his sweat-skinned pores were opened.

Then use the foam made of olive soap to clean the dirt on your body.

After rinsing with clean water, dry your skin that was slightly red with a soft Egyptian lint cotton towel.

Then Roger asked his servants to take care of his hair and beard.

He changed into clean silk underwear.

Roger did not choose a lining jacket outside the underwear, so he directly wore a soft deer leather armor to base it.

Then put on a shiny chain mail.

Wear a burqa with family emblems outside.

The servant put cleanly wiped deer leather boots on Roger.

He also used a belt with gold and silver inlaid and laid Roger around his waist.

Roger walked back and forth in the room for a few times, feeling comfortable all over.

The only thing he was dissatisfied with was that something was missing on his head.

He thought it would be even better if he could have a crown to squeeze his hair.

Now he can only keep his hair naked, after all, he will go to the dinner next, so it is not appropriate to wear an iron helmet.

At this time, Danny walked in.

He attached to Roger's ear to report: "Muthiyi has sent people on board and goes straight to Palermo."

Roger nodded.

Then Roger sat down and rested for a while.

It was estimated that at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the servant came to report that the dinner was ready.

So Roger went downstairs to the lobby.

The long wooden table in the hall has been newly decorated.

On the tablecloth painted with family emblems, flowers and various exquisite tableware and cups are placed.

The owner has not arrived yet.

This is a routine, even if only Roger is the only guest.

Fortunately, Roger did not wait long. In the waiter's reputation, Earl Pons made a grand appearance with the princess's wife.

Then there was another complicated aristocratic etiquette.

Roger suddenly missed Rugero of Antioch.

Although that guy had a bad mouth, he could still hear something practical.

Although everyone is polite here, they are all nonsense.

After the waiter sat down, the servants began to serve the dishes.

Pons politely apologized for not arranging a suitable company for Roger's identity.

Roger also apologized politely for his abruptness and for not informing the host of the banquet in advance that he did not bring his female companion.

The princess then mediated in the middle with the language she thought was funny and humorous, while the men generously forgave the other party.

It's like a play.

But Roger is almost unable to perform. There are only three people on the table, and there are servants next to him. Who are you showing this?

Fortunately, the food distracted him and finally made him interested in the banquet.

Roger found that the bread that was placed on the table for people to use was very interesting.

Unlike common bread, it is more like a hollow bread, looking like a pocket.

Under the introduction of the attendant who was specifically responsible for serving, Roger knew that this "pocket bread" was called pita bread, which was the feature here.

It has no special taste, but there are many ways to eat it with the dishes.

Then Roger looked at the appetizing salad on the table.

There are actually two types of salads.

One is a taborer salad that includes cilantro, mint, lettuce, garlic, onion and wheat grains, mixed together and seasoned with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, served with fried and baked pancakes.

The other type is cucumbers and radishes cut into large pieces, and they are also mixed with various seasonings.

On the side of the salad, Roger saw many snack plates with all kinds of side dishes.

He counted and found 60 words.
