Chapter 844: Golden honey plum wine

"Welcome to the beautiful Miss Lacey."

Earl Howard patted his palms while walking down the stairs. This was the first

time he took the initiative to greet the guests tonight. Before, the guests

usually greeted them actively.

The already lively hall became quiet and noisy, the volume of everyone's

speech suddenly decreased, and then they began to discuss each other in a low

voice.

"Who is that girl?" The ladies whispered to each other.

"It's so beautiful, indescribably beautiful..."

"Which family is this, why have I never heard of it before?"

"It seems to be a lady from the Chamber of Commerce who arrived in the

Imperial Capital recently."

"The merchant's daughter? How come there is such a temperament, it doesn't

feel like it." A lady wearing a lace veil shook her head.

"That chamber of commerce has the background of the elves of the forest. The

elves have a different concept of time from ours. Perhaps they are influenced

by the elves."

"This makes sense, it looks like the natural and flawless charm of the forest

spirit indeed."

"Did she just come out of the Emerald Forest, like a fairy in the forest." A

low voice exclaimed from time to time in the hall.

"Huh, maybe this one also has elf blood, just like the daughter of the

Landsworth family."

"There have always been many beauties in the Mori Elves."

"Wow, the profile of that profile is so perfect, I really want to find a pen

to draw this scene!" An aristocratic man who prefers art was excited.

"No way, my right hand is as hot as fire, and it is shouting for me to grasp

this dreamy moment." He rubbed his fingers eagerly, trying to draw something.

"Perhaps you should find a servant on the side and ask them to prepare canvas

and paint for you immediately, haha." The friend on the side smiled low, but

didn't look away from the girl who approached in the hall.

"It's perfect." He was also somewhat intoxicated.

Lorraine Hill raised his head slightly, nodded to Earl Howard on the stairs,

and immediately felt countless gazes converging on him, those gazes seemed

like substance, which made the girl quite uncomfortable.

Such a scene, no matter how many times it is still a little concerned and

unaccustomed. The girl secretly thought in her heart, filtering out other

irrelevant people in her eyes, thinking about other things as much as possible

in her mind, and diverting her attention away from these lines of sight.

When her steps moved to the middle of the hall, a waiter stepped forward,

"Dear Miss Lacey, please go this way."

He gestured sideways and opened a way for the girl in the crowd.

Lorraine Hill's line of sight followed forward, and he saw Earl Howard walking

slowly towards this.

Then the hall resumed its previous excitement, and teams of spinning and

dancing figures began to appear on the dance floor. However, compared to

before, 90% of the topics in the hall now start to revolve around this

mysterious girl who has just appeared, and people's curious thirst for

knowledge is burning like a raging fire.

"It's nice to meet Miss Lacey."

Although Howard's status is high, this time he is very gentleman's initiative

to stoop, and seems to be kissing.

It's a pity that Lorrain Hill pretended to deflect his gaze to avoid the other

party's plan. Two hands wearing white silk gloves lightly lifted the skirt to

resolve the invisible embarrassment in return.

"Good evening, Lord Howard, I am honored to attend your banquet." The

etiquette of the girl in the rose dress can be described as meticulous, just

like a classic aristocratic daughter.

Much of Lorrain Hill’s knowledge was learned from Trinasa, which naturally

also included the etiquette and customs of the True Red Empire and the Mercury

Dynasty. Today, the empire is nothing more than a legacy of the past.

Seeing this scene, Howard's eyes changed slightly, and then the girl sat down

with a smile, and the two began to talk briefly.

As Earl Howard who is good at socializing, he did not ask some sensitive

questions as soon as he came up. Instead, he slowly started to talk about

trivial things such as the climate of the imperial capital and whether he was

used to his life, and then exchanged his preferences and interest in which

tastes. .

In this way, slowly, the atmosphere gradually eased.

Papa, Howard patted his palms, smiled and praised, and then asked the waiter

on the side to bring a good wine in the gap of the conversation.

"I don't know what flavor Miss Lacey prefers. I have a fairly complete set of

things here. As long as you ask for it, you can do your best to satisfy it."

"Then have a glass of golden honey plum fruit bar." Originally, Lorrain Hill

wanted to order juice, but considering that everyone in the hall was drinking

all kinds of alcohol, he didn't want to go too far, so he changed to light

fruit wine. .

"It turns out that Miss Lacey also likes the taste of golden honey plum. It's

a coincidence. In fact, my wife also likes it very much. Every year, she asks

her friends in the southern province of the empire to prepare several barrels

of fresh fruit wine for her."

"Although the golden honey plum is also produced in several manors near the

imperial capital, the taste is not as good as the unique sweetness of the

southern spring and midsummer. I don't know if Miss Lacie likes the golden

honey plum that matures for a few months?"

"It's probably Jinmi Li from June 9th to 15th. This time period is when it's

fresh and delicious." The girl blinked her eyes and her eyelashes trembled

slightly.

There are not many producing areas of golden honey plum in the western

continent, at least in the two counties in the southern part of the empire,

and it seems to be available from June to August, but in fact, only those who

are really concerned know the best batch of them. Only a few days in June.

Later, the taste changes due to ripeness or rainfall.

Except for the particularly picky nobles, other ordinary people would not be

particularly concerned about such things.

When the two were talking, the waiter also brought two glasses of fine wine

specially, and put the glass of soft yellow and transparent fruit wine in

front of the girl.

"Also ask Miss Lacey to taste it to see if the taste is satisfactory, haha."

Howard picked up the glass of purple wine he wanted, rippling it slightly in

the palm of his hand, and gestured with a smile on his beard.

This Miss Lacey really seemed unusual, it should not be that kind of fake

stuff, this kind of conversation and insights were really beyond the reach of

ordinary people, and he secretly evaluated and thought about it in his heart.

The seemingly ordinary communication just now, he was actually constantly

analyzing the girl's birthplace and preferences to see if it was consistent

with what she said.

Although Howard's own extraordinary strength is average, and he has no other

special talents, but with years of experience in the empire's upper class

society, his vision and knowledge are not bad~www.mtlnovel.com~ This Miss

Lacey is Such a rare beauty and reason coexist, which made him happy and

disappointed.

Happily, after seeing countless hypocritical girls in the aristocratic circle

who wanted to squeeze into the upper class as shoddy, such a fresh existence

suddenly appeared. What is lost is that such a sensible beauty may not be

easily shaken by her own power, and her appearance will also attract more

powerful competitors.

Sure enough, just as the two were talking at a small table by the dance floor,

several aristocratic youths who could not restrain themselves finally came

over together. Their title and strength may not be as good as Earl Howard, but

the family behind them is not bad, and they also have handsomeness and youth

that Earl Howard can't match.

"May I invite you to a dance? This beautiful lady."

A young man with a blond hair combed his head and uttered a voice, like an

chant in an opera house, inviting the girl sitting at the table in a standard

posture. Behind him, several ‘good brothers’ were also eager to try, and

seemed to have the same plan.

After his voice fell, an unknown number of eyes peeked over here, countless

young hearts began to be nervous and hesitant, and many voices began to

secretly bet on who could dance with this girl tonight.
