Chapter 496 Sonia, before facing my own destiny, I(2/2)
I needed Sonya, I needed to win her and her friends in the living room to support me.
The next battle will inevitably involve a confrontation with the wizard class, and a battle with some elders and nobles. However, as long as you clearly explain your strategies and principles, and make it clear that some spellcasters can also become your allies, the considerate Sonia will definitely
meeting……
The girl was staring at him with starry eyes. She even swayed a little and felt like she was about to fall. The flush of excitement had already climbed onto her pretty fair face. No matter how much attention she paid to the countess's manners and etiquette, when the two of them were alone
, Sonia is so considerate and understanding.
Sonia can be trusted at any time, without a doubt!
Griffith took a deep breath, sincerely and seriously preparing to reveal all his thoughts during this period.
"Griffith!"
The countess suddenly took a step forward, almost leaning on the knight's chest. There seemed to be a hazy pale golden light in her eyes, making the world brighter.
"Well, what, what?" Griffith, who was brewing a big plan to change the world, was a little flustered for a moment. A strange, sweet and gentle premonition vaguely emerged, making him inexplicably aware of what was going to happen next.
what happened.
"I like you!"
Sonia grabbed Griffith's hand, trembling and throbbing along with the soft and delicate touch on her fingers, and took a small bite on the racing heart. Her voice was very soft, but the whole world could hear it clearly.
arrive.
Then, she repeated it in her loudest voice:
"I like you!"
…
Since the day before, local officials and servants have been planning the banquet.
The dining table has been covered with a freshly laundered tablecloth, and silver goblets, salt dishes and spoons are in place. The kitchen uses herbs, spices and dried fruits to accompany the grilled meat and freshly baked bread in the morning.
The servants took the luggage, led the horses to the stables, combed the hair, fed them, and put wooden boards on the ground to prevent the mud on the ground from soiling their shoes. The freshly picked flowers decorated the manor.
The noble aristocratic ladies were invited to sit in the best seats, wash their hands in the basin brought by the servant, and then pray and have a meal. Lannes, Ophelia, Midianmeier, Murat, Lasse
The banquet hall was filled with officers from the participating armies and local administrators such as Ernest Wallen and Warren Hayton, drinking wine and ale from large glasses.
Griffith sat in the master's seat at the end of the long table. Everyone was densely packed on both sides, looking at Galadia and Sonia sitting next to him with smiles on their faces.
"Hmmm..."
Griffith was surrounded by the pleasant fragrance, and he felt a stomachache when he thought that Sidious and the Earl would appear at the gate of the manor to talk to him at any time, or that the girls would say something themselves later.
All this happened so suddenly.
"Griffith, what's wrong with you?" Miss Elf saw that his face was pale and his forehead was sweating in the cool hall. She wondered if he would faint like that time in Odessa, so she quickly put a handkerchief on his forehead.
Wipe the sweat.
Sonia has already picked up a cup of herbal tea and handed it over...
"Let's toast Commander Griffith with a glass of wine!" Rana hurriedly raised his glass to the chief of the long table.
"Okay——!" everyone shouted together.
"Long live the victory of Miss Sonia, she is... Ouch!" Ophelia stepped on Midianmaiya just as he took the words. He quickly changed his words, "Long live the victory of Galadia, alas...
What’s wrong!”
Griffith resisted and did not cover his face.
He pretended not to hear and diverted his attention to estimate the cost.
On this day, Ravenel Manor served a 36-course dinner and also prepared snacks for overnight guests. In fact, the local officials appointed by Roland summoned local people who worked in various jobs on weekdays to help. Only in this way can
Let Griffith, who is short of manpower, be able to carry out the banquet. Such a good meal is naturally indispensable for them.
The supper was splendid, with fried and grilled swans, geese, herons, rabbits, pheasants, capons, partridges, pigeons, deer, cattle, and wild boars, as well as sole, haddock, plaice, mackerel,
Oysters, crabs, lobsters, mussels and shrimps. Various desserts made with milk, eggs and vanilla are served like water...
"Griffith~" The countess looked at her knight and found that his face was whiter than the tablecloth, "Don't you know which one to eat?!"
"This time I finally understand why Larmore Territory can suffer from floods and droughts even on good days..."
Griffith said sadly.
Such a dinner is very expensive, and the expenses are recorded in the "household book" by the housekeeper and the accountant for inspection by the lord. If there is no lord's wife, it can only be checked by the lord himself.
"I understand~" The considerate countess has a good memory. Of course she remembers the joke the earl said when Griffith first came to Larmore's house, "I will help you check the family books later. Mom taught me
I!"
"Click!" Galadia, who was eating crab, swallowed the shell in one gulp. She jumped up and tapped the crystal cup like a hostess:
"I'm here to announce some good news!"
Everyone who was busy eating turned their heads and heard Miss Elf say:
"Griffith will be promoted to flag captain soon and serve as deputy general of the 10th Light Infantry Regiment of Verona!"
"..."
Griffith himself took a few seconds to react.
Chapter completed!
