Chapter fifty-six kiss and handshake ceremony
Chapter 56 Hand kissing and handshake
Henry found an excuse to leave first, and this kind of scene was no longer suitable for him to stay. The Marquis was still too young to hide his mood very well. Obviously, it was not wise to have a conflict with the kingdom when his wings were not yet full!
Of course, he would not say these words to Lanlei for the time being, because he and George cannot decide whether to start a business with the Marquis. At present, he and George are still in the second prince's relationship!
"Lanlie!" After Henry left, Eliza took a few steps forward, narrowed the distance from Lanlie, and said, "I know you are not very comfortable in your heart. I think you don't like this feeling of being plotted against!"
Raising his head to meet the other party's sincere eyes, Lan Lie's heart suddenly jumped. The daughter of the prime minister, who had infinite charm all over her body, seemed to know him very well.
"But, I want to say, Your Majesty the King has no malice to you, at least for now, absolutely nothing!" Eliza paused for a moment, as if considering how to speak, and then continued: "To be honest, Your Majesty the King is indeed using you, using you and your magical magic pet to clean up this desolate land that has been abandoned for decades!"
Lanle did not make a sound. Although these were not what he wanted to listen to, he chose to endure looking at Eliza and Yaphir's solemn expressions!
"As the king, his decision was for the sake of the entire kingdom, and my father and Duke Pecron were the same, so there was nothing wrong with them! And Lanlie, as a local lord who doesn't like being bound and plotted, it's normal for you to react unhappily!" Eliza said helplessly: "In this world, there are some things that can't be distinguished from right or wrong, but everyone's starting points are different, so the feelings are even more different! Lanlie, do you think what I said makes sense??"
Lanlie nodded slowly. From an objective perspective, what Eliza said was right, but it was one thing, and it was another thing to experience it personally. Since learning that His Majesty the King sent Eliza to monitor him, Lanlie has begun to feel unhappy!
"But I don't think these matter!" Eliza sighed and said softly: "These things have nothing to do with our friendship!"
Lan Lie was stunned for a moment and met the other party's beautiful eyes. All he saw was honesty, without any artificiality or pretentiousness.
"I don't think there is anything to be embarrassed about!" Elizabeth stared at each other and said seriously: "Yafir and I do want to be true friends with you, Lanle, what do you mean!?"
"Me!" Lanlie smiled, bowed slightly and said, "The honor is so great!"
Yafei and Eliza looked at each other, and the smile on their faces was as charming as flowers.
"There is no princess here, no prime minister's daughter, and no marquis!" Princess Yafel's happiness was written on her beautiful face.
Due to her identity, besides her father and two brothers, her best friend is Eliza, whom she met since childhood, and her friend of the opposite sex only has the mysterious oriental man in front of her.
What about Kent!? When she thought of the handsome dragon knight, Princess Yafir's smile was restrained. She could not define her past relationship with Kent, was she a friend or a lover!? It seemed that neither was she! She only knew that in her memory, the clips about getting along with Kent have gradually become blurred!
Lanlie understood what Yafei meant. If you become friends, then identity no longer mattered. As Eliza said, everything externally had nothing to do with the friendship between the three people.
"Should you celebrate it?" Eliza's beautiful and charming face showed joy from the bottom of her heart. She blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled: "How about embrace it!"
OK! Lanley almost blurted out, but saw Eliza's slightly cunning eyes, and immediately forced herself to swallow the word back.
Eliza walked over with a smile, holding Yafei's hand, and then Lanlie's heartbeat began to pound and speed up. Do you really want to hug me? Of course, if the two beauties asked for it on their own, he wouldn't mind.
But immediately, Lanley knew that he was wrong, and Princess Yaphir and Eliza each reached out to hand it to him.
Lanlie understood what this means very well, so he took Yafei's jade hand without hesitation, lowered his head and kissed him gently.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but when his lips touched the delicate scent of his fingertips, Yafei's delicate body seemed to shake slightly.
Then, he took Eliza's jade hand and kissed again!
Then, he raised his head but found that the two women fainted on their cheeks, each looking at him with angry eyes.
Isn't it a kissing ceremony?? The court etiquette of Lanlie was specially sent by His Majesty the King when he first entered the palace! Isn't it that he asked him to kiss?? Did he get it wrong?
"Just hold it, who asked you to kiss me!" Eliza looked at Lanlie, who was confused and laughed softly. She guessed that Lanlie must not be very clear about this kind of kissing gift.
According to Rogani's custom, this kissing ceremony can only be performed in formal banquets and other indoor occasions.
As for her and Yafei stretching out their hands, they did not let each other kiss, but were performing a simple ceremony to become friends - the ‘handshake gift’! The difference between kissing and holding is a word, the meaning of expression is a thousand miles apart!
"I took the liberty!" After listening to Eliza's explanation, and looking at Yafir's pretty face, Lanle's face turned red. At that time, he didn't listen carefully to what the court etiquette master said, but he just learned how to deal with it while guiding his posture. Now it finally caused such embarrassment!
"Maybe it was intentional!" Eliza covered her mouth with a smile and teased.
"Absolutely not!" Lanlie quickly defended.
"I believe you are not!" Princess Yafir's face was not flushed, but she bravely stretched out her jade hand and smiled: "Start again!"
Eliza glanced at her friend with a slightly weird look and slowly reached out her hand.
Holding two small hands that were equally white and tender, soft and boneless, in their hands, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Lanlie's heart, and he really wanted to hold them forever.
"I, I said!"
In the dark basement, Baron Donald was piled softly on the ground like a pile of rotten meat with bones removed.
The body was covered in blood and ferocious wounds. If it weren't for the slow ups and downs between the chest and abdomen, I'm afraid anyone would have treated him as a dead person.
In fact, Baron Donald is now only one step away from death.
He thought he could survive, but when he heard the sick man claim the nickname "Clumsy Butcher", his confidence was immediately disintegrated.
The first prison officer of the Kingdom who once in charge of the Kingdom Prison and is known for his cruelty, cold-blooded and torture, the "clumsy butcher" is famous for his fierce reputation.
Baron Donald thought at first that the other party was just terrifying him, but when he saw the two weapons of the rusty hammer and the thick and dull dagger, he finally fully understood that the man standing in front of him was indeed the butcher who made countless criminals frightened!
He couldn't figure out why the other party appeared here, and he didn't have time to think about it. In the next few days, starting with his feet, the rusty hammer shattered every bone. Of course, this was all, and what followed was the pain of cutting flesh from the blunt blade.
No one could withstand such torture, bones were broken and muscles were cut off! The most tragic thing was that he didn't even have the right to roar, and a ball of rags tightly blocked his mouth.
In three days, if the butcher had not been seriously ill and had to rest, Donald believed that the bones and muscles in his body would have been removed by the other party!
He decided to give up. Now for him, being able to die comfortably is a strong temptation. He finally realized that the most terrifying thing in the world is not death, but life is worse than death!
"If I had said it earlier, I would have put so much effort into it!" George put down the bloody hammer and showed a tired smile on his face.
The business in the tavern was good, with almost every table full of people, and mercenaries from all over the place were enjoying their lunch.
However, at this moment, the door was kicked open with a sound of collision, and a team of fully armed soldiers rushed in with great momentum.
When the brass cup in the hands of the tavern owner fell to the ground, his fat face turned blue involuntarily.
"Storin, you have been arrested!" Captain Morgan ignored the mercenaries' surprised gazes. With a wave of his hand, two royal guards immediately flashed out from behind him and stepped forward to grab the trembling tavern owner.
It's over! Storin lamented in his heart, letting the guard hold his arms, and staggered towards the door.
From the day he learned that the Molson Cavalry was annihilated, he knew that Baron Donald was in danger, but he did not dare to do anything, because he knew that there was a secret stronghold of Baron Donald thirty kilometers away from the town.
"From today, the tavern will be confiscated and the Interior Officer, Lord George, will arrange for a separate manpower to take over!"
At Morgan's signal, a smart-looking middle-aged man stood where the former tavern owner Stolling had stayed. From today on, he was in charge of the tavern!
"And, due to the tight food supply, the wine and food prices in the tavern were doubled by the order of Lord Iraneller!" Take out an order from his arms, and the captain of the guard Morgan glanced at the numerous tavern guests, cleared his throat and read it.
"I protest, you are exploitation!" A bearded mercenary was angry and stood up slapped the table.
"It is immoral to raise prices like this!" the old white-haired master also shouted excitedly.
"Misc is here, this must be a black shop!" The halfling thief screamed. He didn't have much money anymore. If the price of food and accommodation doubled, he would probably have to put on a bed and sleep on the street in a few days.
"Black, really, really black!" Even the honest Travino man couldn't help it and shouted angrily.
Except for a few customers, most people strongly opposed this price increase.
In fact, in this damn Shinjin Town, the price is already ridiculously high, and now it has to double again, which makes people unable to survive! Although their wallets are not empty, they do not intend to spend all their savings here!
"What kind of place is Celtan? Everyone should know! It's poor here!" Faced with many accusations, Morgan's face showed a painful expression, "The people of Shanjin Town cannot eat enough or wear warm clothes. As the lord here, Marquis Lanlie saw it and hurt in his heart! However, at this time, everyone came to Shanjin Town, which made the originally insufficient food reserves even more nervous. But even so, the Marquis was still generous and hospitable. He would rather tighten his belt than let all the guests from far away go hungry! Faced with this situation, you should give some practical support!? I repeat again, the price increase is really unforced. In fact, even if it doubles up, it will not alleviate the financial difficulties of Shanjin Town's inability to make ends meet!?"
After saying these words in one breath, Morgan no longer cared back to report to the former owner of the tavern, Stolin.
Assassin Witt doesn't know if his luck is good or bad!
Along the way, he had shaken countless times and wanted to escape secretly, but after thinking about the pile of yellow gold coins, he forced himself to firmly believe in the same belief and fight for 250 gold coins.
He came to the Molson Border Barracks with fear. After showing his identity, he was immediately humiliated by the barbaric Molson soldiers.
Witt felt very angry. As a mid-level assassin, he could easily put the bastard who spitted his saliva on the ground, but he did not dare. This was after all, someone else's territory. He could kill one, but he could not kill a hundred. Here, there were at least 50,000 Molson's army, including 30,000 elite camel cavalry.
