Chapter 39 39 Attending the Banquet
Chapter 39 -39- Attending the Banquet
"Hurry up! Why are you waiting so long? Does it take so long to fetch a basin of water?"
"Who asked you to bring the uniform? Go get the dress!"
"What? You think this is a dress? This is a regular dress! As a maid of the Castel family, can't you even distinguish between a regular dress and a dress?!"
"The dresses are in a separate wardrobe! They are specially made in advance for each banquet! Each set can only be worn once!"
"You don't have to bring them all, just bring a few warm-toned ones. The master has asked you to dress more mature and sunny."
In Castel Manor, Quasimodo directed the busy maids and waiters, blowing his beard and staring.
Although they had been trained by Charlotte for many days, it was obvious that the newcomers had not yet dealt with preparations for a banquet at the level of a Duke's dinner, and they were all in a hurry.
In the manor, the old servant's roar could be heard non-stop.
Looking at the dresses brought over by the maids, Charlotte sighed helplessly, and finally chose a gorgeous evening dress with white as the main tone.
Moreover, perhaps the existence of extraordinary power has allowed high-end productivity to surpass the times. The food, clothing, housing and transportation of the nobles in the Miria world are still quite advanced.
On the whole, the entire society is still in the feudal era. Most ordinary people and people at the bottom are still living a life similar to that of the Blue Star Middle Ages. However, the upper class has obviously entered the material conditions similar to those of the Blue Star Renaissance and even the Enlightenment Period.
The gap between rich and poor is not that big.
Even the tuxedo was made out, which even caused Charlotte to think that she had traveled to the seventeenth or eighteenth century when she first traveled through time.
It wasn't until she left the manor later that she discovered that the world was actually much more backward than she had imagined.
Adding and subtracting, the overall situation is estimated to be equivalent to the appearance of Blue Star in the late Middle Ages, around the fifteenth century.
Different from the fashionable and avant-garde Gothic skirt, the evening dress has dignified and beautiful patterns, heavy fabric style, complicated decoration, many embroideries and slits, and many places are decorated with jewelry. The overall style is strong and luxurious.
In addition, the shape is also very exaggerated, with filling, corseting, padding... all kinds of shaping gadgets are stuffed in, making it uncomfortable to wear.
Especially the big bustle, which made Charlotte feel like she was transformed into a human tank, wearing an oversized heavy hula hoop.
But there is also a benefit, this skirt is so convenient for hiding gadgets.
Charlotte took advantage of others not paying attention and decisively stuffed the crossbow into her body to defend herself.
After stuffing it, I felt that the space was more than enough, so I stuffed a dagger and a few magic scrolls from Nice.
Wash, wipe, dress, take care of hair, apply powder, spray perfume...
After some tedious preparations, it was already forty minutes later.
Standing in the mercury mirror, Charlotte felt that she looked more beautiful and charming in the mirror than before. Underneath her youthful and charming appearance, she was more mature and charming.
It also smells very good, even Charlotte didn't expect it to smell so good, so fragrant and soft.
It's all the effect of the dress and the perfume, but also Charlotte's natural beauty.
Under the complicated dress, even the pair of marshmallows on the chest looked a lot bigger under the corset, and there was even a groove.
Although Charlotte always felt like she had a gap... it seemed as if something precious had been broken deep in her heart.
After the preparations were completed, the girl boarded the carriage for the banquet.
The carriage was also the best one in the Castel Manor. It was carved with exquisite patterns and decorated with gold rims and gems. The black hawk emblem of the Castel family shined brightly on the side, making it luxurious and grand.
The old servant Quasimodo serves as the temporary butler, along with two maids and two male servants.
The maid and the manservant were sitting in the second servant carriage, which also contained a gift for the birthday dinner, a religious oil painting selected from the manor's collection, valued at two hundred thousand quintana.
This is the entire team attending the banquet.
The black cat Ness was lying at the window on the second floor, looking helplessly at the people preparing to set off, his big amber eyes full of pity.
Of course, no one really pities it, not even the maid in the manor.
During this period of time, this guy didn't dare to be presumptuous with Charlotte, which made Charlotte temporarily give up the idea of giving him a luxury sterilization package. However, he made the maids crazy and even had to change clothes. Check beforehand to see if there is a fat cat wandering around.
Although being looked at by a cat seems to be nothing, but always being stared at by a talking cat with such a strange gaze makes people feel uncomfortable, as if they are being peeped by a pervert.
Charlotte felt that sooner or later this perverted cat would have to pay the price and be groomed.
It also bullies ordinary people like maids.
In terms of strength alone, this guy can't even beat Charlotte. His physical fitness is also a waste that has not yet entered the rank, and is only a little stronger than an ordinary cat...
But...Nice can use a series of high-end divine arts and even magic.
It's also weird.
Charlotte was sure the cat had a secret of its own, but it didn't want to tell it, and Charlotte didn't force it.
After all, who in this world doesn’t have a secret or two?
It's enough that you can't betray her. Trust and loyalty will slowly change over time.
After thinking for a while, Charlotte waved to the second floor window.
After all, this guy knows a lot of magical arts and magic, and he can barely be considered a master with it, so let him follow him.
Seeing the girl's gesture, Nice's eyes lit up.
It meowed instantly, rushed out impatiently, and jumped onto the carriage in a few seconds amid the screams of the maids.
"Stay away from me, pay attention to your identity, you can follow me, but as a pet."
Looking at the black cat with an excited face, Charlotte said coldly.
Nice's cat face collapsed instantly.
It forced itself not to look at the girl's seductive chest, sighed regretfully, and then jumped to the servant carriage behind to harass the maid.
The convoy drove slowly and left the Castel Manor.
Charlotte leaned leisurely against the window, took out the goblet and the milk bag prepared by the maid in advance from the secret compartment, and filled it skillfully for herself.
Passing through the relatively spacious and bright streets in the western city, the convoy moved eastward and entered the eastern city after about fifteen minutes.
As the most core area of Bord City and also the area with the most nobles, the buildings in the eastern city are much more gorgeous overall.
The streets are spacious, bright, clean, and religious sculptures, fountains, and small gardens can be seen everywhere. Even the clothes of pedestrians on the street are much neater and more upscale.
This scene is in sharp contrast to the shabby and backward outer city, as if it has spanned two or three hundred years.
The beautiful scenery brightened the eyes of Charlotte, who likes to see the scenery.
But as the carriage continued to move forward, she gradually lost interest.
Although the scenery in the eastern city is beautiful, the similarity is too high.
The sculptures are all about religion, the fountains are decorated with patterns of the Holy Royal Court, and even the green plants in the garden are trimmed into the rigid style of the church.
Heavy, depressed, and imprisoned.
This feeling, if you don't feel it carefully, you can't experience it.
But Charlotte has always been sharp.
"So... theocracy is the most powerful and transcendent power in the world."
The girl sighed after taking a sip of milk.
As the carriage drove along, similar convoys on both sides of the street also increased.
Each carriage was also decorated with various badges on the side, and the direction of travel was the same as Charlotte and others, and it was obviously a noble who was attending the banquet.
Charlotte noticed that when her carriage passed by, almost all the teams would slow down and make way.
Sometimes, someone would open the curtains at the window of the carriage and take off their hats to greet Charlotte's carriage.
Nobles of the same level are also ranked.
Even with the trend of decline and the risk of extinction, the wealthy Castel is definitely one of the most powerful noble families in the Principality of Boulder!
Perhaps, even the "one of" can be removed.
After driving for about fifteen minutes, Charlotte finally saw the Duke's Palace, a magnificent palace.
The history of the Duke's Palace of Boulder is quite long, dating back to the founding of the Yunet Empire 1,100 years ago.
At that time, it was a fortress used to defend against the subhuman tribes and a towering castle.
Now, the subhuman tribes on the Crescent Peninsula have long been completely wiped out, and the once active subhumans have become slaves or migrated to distant places. The historical mission of Boulder Castle has long been completed.
So, about seven hundred years ago, the head of the Bold family ordered the castle to be rebuilt into a palace with fortress functions, and built the city with it as the center.
Bold City also developed from that time and was expanded several times.
At this moment, there were no less than a hundred carriages from various families parked in the garden square in front of the Duke's Mansion.
The Duke's servants, dressed in dark blue butlers' uniforms, were standing at the door, welcoming all kinds of nobles into the palace.
When the carriage of the Castel family came, it attracted almost everyone's attention, whether it was nobles, servants or citizens watching the excitement from afar, their eyes were full of curiosity.
"Master, we are here."
The door opened, and Quasimodo's old and respectful voice came over.
Charlotte nodded slightly.
"Help me get off the car."
She took a deep breath, stretched out her white and tender little hand, and placed it in the palm of her personal maid, and then, with the other party's respectful and careful support, she gracefully walked down from the carriage with the ladder placed.
The bright sunshine shone on her body, and the breeze blew her beautiful golden hair slightly.
The holy and gorgeous dress, the face like a god's creation, the elegant and noble manners...
At this moment, the whole garden square was quiet.
