Chapter 87 Briefly say a few words

In the evening, the lights were brightly lit in the Luxury Hotel in Lebour.

The hotel door is full of luxury horse carriages of various styles, including six-wheeled four-wheeled cars, and carriages are still coming outside the gate.

The mayor accompanied Eugen to welcome guests from afar at the hotel entrance. He didn't know most of these people, and he also needed the mayor's introduction.

Every guest's expression was full of smiles when he entered the door. The servant behind him brought big bags of gifts and prepared a lot of beautiful words to congratulate Eugen on becoming the Count.

But only they know what they are thinking in their hearts.

Eugen took the gifts and handed them to the servants behind him. Facing the guests, he only said three words: "Welcome, thank you, thank you, please come in."

He was reluctant to say any of these three sentences back and forth, and he was unwilling to say anything else. As for the names of those guests, most of them were long and difficult to pronounce, and Eugen didn't remember a few of them at all.

Because most of the people who came to attend the banquet were less than Eugen's status, it was not rude to him.

There were only a few guests who came, and because of their family status, Eugen deliberately remembered it.

For example, a white and fat Viscount Pigaard who looks very kind. The mayor specifically emphasized that this person is the representative of the Vettelsbach family in the Lebour region. There are many members of the Vettelsbach family in the local area, and almost all of them are obeyed by this Viscount Pigaard.

There is also a middle-aged man with a fierce look and tall figure named Tarik Vetina, who is the leader of the Vetina family. The Vetina family advocates combat, and most people in the Saxony area are fierce and warlike. This fierce Tarik also impressed Eugen.

There was also an old man with a gentle smile on his face. When he asked Eugen, Eugen helped him to be a local wealthy businessman. After the mayor's introduction, Eugen realized that this man was an important figure in the Welf family - Bard Welf, and the power behind him was also quite powerful.

Eugen remembered only these few people, and most of the other nobles who arrived were headed by these three.

That's all the way the mayor could tell Eugen. During his long term here, the code of conduct he had been following was "no questioning, no intervention". It was this kind of attitude that allowed him to maintain peace here for a long time.

So he didn't know the relationship between the nobles, so he couldn't tell Eugen what news.

After Eugen learned about these situations, he naturally had some doubts in his heart. What surprised him the most was that the Hohenzollern family, second only to Habsburg, did not send anyone, and even a representative came to congratulate.

Now he only knew the representatives of three noble families, but he didn't know much about their relationship.

Looking at the nobles coming in and out, Eugen thought to himself: "If the waiter said it was true, it would be helpful to me, but why haven't you seen him come yet."

It was almost six o'clock, but there was no Parma nearby.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come. I don't know that although the relationship between the three families will be more passive, it will not be possible to really stop me." Thinking of this, Eugen turned around and walked towards the hotel.

"Mr. Eugen..." Just as Eugen turned around, waiter Palma finally appeared from the end of the street and ran towards Eugen quickly.

When he turned around and saw Parma, Eugen showed a smile on his face. The young man dared to come, which means he should have some real skills.

"Mr. Eugen, I'm here." Parma ran to Eugen before stopping. Seeing his sweaty look, he was obviously running all the way.

Eugen smiled and patted Parma on the shoulder. Parma was relatively short. When he was a waiter, other colleagues liked to pat his shoulders. This action always made him very annoyed. However, at this moment Eugen patted his shoulders, which made him feel flattered.

"It's good to come, let's go, come in with me and see what you can do for me?" Eugen said, then turned around and walked towards the hotel.

He wouldn't ask how Parma was preparing, nor would he ask why he was late. The only thing Eugen values ​​was Parma's ability.

Parma agreed, then lowered his head and followed Eugen and walked into the hall.

The hotel lobby, the second and third floors, have been cleaned up and turned into a banquet venue. The long hardwood table is covered with snow-white tablecloths, silver candlesticks are placed on the table, and plates of flowers and fruits are decorated.

Eugen entered the hall, walked through the crowd to the high platform at the innermost part of the hall. As the host of the banquet, he had to say something at this position before the banquet officially began.

"Oh, I'm a low-key person. This boring ceremony is really annoying." In a low voice, Eugen stood on the platform and turned to face the guests in the hall.

Looking down from the platform, the mayor stood on his left, and waiter Palma stood on the lower right. Margaret was standing opposite him, holding a goblet in his hand to greet him.

Without Eugen doing anything, everyone's eyes gathered on him one after another. The scene became silent and no noise appeared.

Whether Eugen wants to or not, everyone is waiting for him to speak. This is a time of great attention. He is the protagonist, and everyone else is his audience.

"Cough, cough." Eugen coughed lightly, and a kind and majestic smile appeared on his face: "Hello ladies and gentlemen. Let me say a few words in a brief sentence: I am the new lord of Leber, I am Eugen Habsburg, and I am Eugen. Ahem... Thank you everyone for coming, please enjoy it."

After saying a few words, Eugen closed his mouth and smiled at the people below.

The nobles in the hall were still waiting for Eugen to see what happened. The scene was quite awkwardly silent for three seconds before someone realized that Eugen had finished speaking and quickly applauded hard.

Then, the applause was thunderous, and the people who only applauded had a strange expression on their faces, as if they were surprised by the simplicity of the congratulations.

Eugen looked indifferent, smiled at everyone, and walked down from the stage. Whether at the Royal Banquet or at the Cassel Fort, he looked so careless.

Since it is a banquet held by yourself, you can do whatever you want. What you want is not up to you to decide.

The representatives of the major families standing in the audience had many different ideas after hearing Eugen's brief congratulations.

"Hmph, this guy is so arrogant. Do you look down on us with such a short congratulations?" Viscount Tarik Vetina glared at Eugen on the stage, obviously dissatisfied with Eugen's performance.
