Chapter 88

Walter jumped off his horse, and a well-trained attendant immediately came up and led the horse aside.

Walter adjusted his clothes and walked to the manor. This is a noble manor of Leopold's family in the king's capital. Like other noble manors, it is luxurious and exquisite, as well as norms, deep-rooted norms.

The straight and wide road is covered with white glazed rock floor tiles. The white glazed rock is as white as a mirror. It is a precious stone. Few nobles can use white glazed rock to make floor tiles, but it is not without. Each floor tile here has been professionally polished. Their size, thickness and arrangement are completely consistent. All non-standard floor tiles are discarded, and the consumption of human and financial resources is unimaginable.

Other decorations, vegetation and buildings in the manor, like these floor tiles, are impeccable norms. Every street lamp, every landscape tree and every street chair are the same in height, size and distance. The same is true of the attendants on both sides of the road. Their height, age, hair color, clothes, even standing posture, bearing and expression are also standardized. Behind these norms, there is luxury, which reveals the reserve and arrogance of kings and nobles.

Walter felt very sad. As one of the leaders of the family caravan, Walter has been to many places and met many lords. Some of them are rich, some are poor, some are noble and some are easy-going. Walter found a law from it. The more powerful it is, the more casual it is. The more down-to-earth it is, the more particular it is.

The attendants Walter met in Heibao did not receive strict etiquette training, which was an unruly performance in the eyes of the royal nobles. But those attendants are quick and vigorous. Obviously, they all have martial arts skills. They are all very busy and won't stop to pay tribute to the adults at work.

Look at the attendants of his family. They stand straight and dress straight. Whenever Walter passes by them, he will bow to him. The range of bow is consistent with the expression on his face. They can't do this without several years of etiquette training. Compared with them, the attendants of the York family are a group of buns, and the meaning behind this makes Walter sigh. The attendants of the York family are doing things, while the attendants of the Leopold family are doing decoration. The attendants of the York family have something to do, while the attendants of the Leopold family can only do decoration

Walter understood that the gap was the gap of family strength, but the leopolds, as an emerging family, also had the opportunity to become a powerful aristocrat like the York family. Thinking of this, Walter tightened his bag, which contained coffee and sucrose brought back from Heibao town.

After a while, Walter entered the main building of the manor, where he met his mother, Melissa Marquis Leopold.

"Good day, madam." Walter saluted Melissa meticulously.

Melissa has a gorgeous face, tall and plump figure, and the charm of mature women can be seen at a glance. She smiles at Walter.

"Walter, it's hard for you."

"This is what I should do." Walter said respectfully, "madam, this is the coffee and sucrose I brought back this time."

Then he handed the two bags in his hand to the maid next to him.

Melissa took the rhinoceros bag from the maid and opened it. It was really brown coffee powder. She nodded with satisfaction. Since Walter brought back this drink called coffee, Melissa has been fascinated by its taste and has never sold it out, so as to surprise all the guests today.

"How come the quantity of snow sugar has become less?"

When the second bag was opened, she saw that the glittering sucrose inside was much less than the last time, and Melissa's tone was even a little harsh.

"Madam, this time the sugar delivered by the coffee is less than the last time. Only one pound of sugar is sent for every three pounds of coffee, and half of it is intercepted by the count of York." Walter smiled bitterly.

Melissa frowned. Before she could ask questions, Walter explained: "According to our merchants in Heibao Town, the process of sucrose is very complex and the output is very low. The last time Baron Victor ordered the destruction of sucrose, the amount of sucrose was less. Therefore, in the future, the sucrose delivered by coffee should be reduced, but in terms of the ratio of sucrose to coffee, it is still enough."

On hearing this, Melissa smiled. Baron Victor was very familiar to her. She once took etiquette classes for the little Baron under the arrangement of the court's chief female officer, Countess Ariel, but she was wearing a gold mask and the little Baron didn't know her. The little Baron's attitude towards sugar was also very to her appetite. Such treasures would rather be destroyed than sold at a low price!

"Walter, remember! It's snow sugar, not sugar. Next time, when you go to Heibao town to buy coffee, be sure to convey this to Baron victor! Do you understand?" Melissa solemnly warned the family caravan leader.

"Yes, madam, I remember." Walter bowed his head and replied that sucrose is always reminiscent of purple cane eaten by people and horses. If the family wants to do coffee business, they must change the name of sucrose.

"Madame, Lord Andrey and Lord Sophia Marquis have arrived." The housekeeper of the manor came over and reported to Melissa.

"The tea party will start soon after the notice." Melissa smiled with a malicious excitement in her eyes.

When Andrea took Sophia into the tea hall, the ladies who had been waiting for her were suffocated.

Andre is tall and straight, handsome, elegant and powerful. His golden hair is brighter than gold. His blue eyes are as deep and pure as the blue sky. In the eyes of noble women, Andre is as dazzling as the sun. Seeing the gorgeous Marquis Sophia holding Andre's arm and looking like a little bird, they couldn't help being jealous.

Andre could not help but feel a deep sense of frustration when he saw that there were all noble women in the tea hall. There was no man except himself.

Andre is the Golden Knight of Borui United Kingdom. He is 43 years old and unmarried. This is very rare among knights. After most knights are promoted to the bronze age, the family will arrange his marriage in order to expand the blood of the family. However, Andre was born noble and was obsessed with the way of knighthood. The family did not force him to marry until he was successfully promoted to the Golden Knight two years ago. When he was ready to undertake the obligation to expand his family blood, Nigel, a university student in Yinbai tower, found him. Nigel made an outrageous request to Andre to give up his family title, go to Gambis to pursue a female knight and join her family.

This requirement is a humiliation to the Andre family. A Golden Knight is enough to support a duke. There is a reason why the family will be willing to let the Golden Knight join other families. But Andre and his family agreed, because the female knight was the first heir to the kingdom of Gambis, the Golden Knight Roland August.

Of course, there is a deeper reason for this, which is the game between the paladin camp and the white tower camp.

Gambis is one of the iron triangles against the Sassanian empire. If we sit idly by and watch it collapse, it will lead to unpredictable consequences, which is not in the interests of the Borui kingdom. The kingdom of Borui cannot openly participate in the struggle between the Sassanian Empire and the Three Kingdoms of Rand, so sending a Golden Knight to pursue the long Princess of Gambis has become the best choice. After a series of interest exchanges, Andre's family acquiesced.

Andre doesn't care about this. What he really cares about is Roland August. Princess Roland has a noble status and is the youngest golden female knight. He has great attraction to the arrogant Andre. He thinks that only he can match princess Roland.

Under the arrangement of Marquis goron, Andre met Roland and was fascinated by her beauty and frankness. Then Andre launched a warm pursuit of Roland, but to his dismay, Roland was not interested in him.

Many nobles believed that Roland refused Andre in order to put Prince Edward on the throne. Andre knew that Roland had never thought so. She was the purest knight. Like is like, don't like is don't like, there is no other reason. This is also the place where Roland attracts Andre most.

Although Andre admires Princess Roland very much, he will never be entangled and difficult to fight. For the Golden Knights, love is only an ornament in life. What they pursue is a higher level of power. So Andre is ready to return to the family.

It is for this reason that Andre is invited to more and more frequent banquets, more and more expensive women attend banquets, but fewer and fewer men. Obviously, the kings and nobles of Gambis are thinking about the blood of the Golden Knight.

"Lord Andre, welcome to today's tea party!" Mrs. Melissa greeted Andre.

"It's my pleasure, beautiful lady."

Andre responded politely. He didn't want to attend such a tea party, but at the request of Marquis goron, he came to see Princess Roland again. Unfortunately, the princess didn't come.

"Welcome, dear Sophia."

Melissa took Sophia's hand, greeted her warmly, and quietly separated the Marquis from Andre, which made other noble women smile one after another.

"Thank you, Melissa. I didn't expect you to invite me, but I haven't received your invitation for a long time." Sophia said with a smile.

"Dear Sophia, your beauty and wealth always make you feel inferior. This time, if I didn't get a new tea, I wouldn't know what to entertain you." Melissa smiled wildly. She looked forward to Sophia's expression for a while.

"Yes, Melissa, you told me that you have a best drink here, but it has been hidden until today. I'm really looking forward to it." A lady interposed, Baroness Philo.

Melissa smiled without saying anything, but just clapped her hands. A group of well-trained waiters came in with silver plates and offered each guest a beautiful ivory cup filled with brown coffee.

"How fragrant!"

"The taste is very special. It is sweet in bitter and bitter in sweet, which makes people have endless aftertaste."

Your women commented one after another.

"What do you think, Lord Andre?" Melissa asked Andrea with a smile.

Andre took a sip and said in surprise, "it's actually a fire element affinity drink. What's the name of this drink, madam?"

Coffee slightly stimulates people's spirit. For the Golden Knight, this is the expression of the affinity of fire element.

"I dare not show off in front of the Marquis Sophia. She must know the name of the drink."

Sophia frowned slightly, put down her glass and said, "it's really a very good drink. I've never drunk it before. I have to ask the Marquis for advice."

"This is the drink invented by your husband, Baron Victor Wimbledon, and it is also a specialty of his territory. Sophia, why don't you know?"

Melissa's surprised voice was a little higher, so that everyone could hear it clearly. There was silence in the teahouse, and countless eyes turned to Sophia, most of them gloating. Ladies have been jealous of Sophia's beauty for a long time. Everyone likes to see her jokes. Who let her and Andre go nearest?

In the face of malicious and mocking eyes, Sophia had no expression, but there was a delicate and moving taste. She was silent for a moment and said faintly: "I haven't contacted Victor for a long time since he took office in Renma hill."

There was an uproar in the hall, and the ladies whispered to each other. Although the voice was subtle, it was clear to the knight. It was nothing more than talking about Sophia's shamelessness.

Sophia drank coffee quietly, as if all the criticism had nothing to do with her, while Andre on one side felt pity for her.

As a knight of the noble family, Andre is no stranger to the messy relationship between men and women of the noble family. He also had many lovers when he was in the Borui kingdom. After arriving at Gambis, Andre has been clean, which is out of respect for Princess Roland. As a noble knight, the Golden Knight itself has great attraction to your women, and all kinds of provocation and seduction also emerge in endlessly. Although the Golden Knight has a strong will, it can not stop your women's enthusiasm. Andre is always surrounded by all kinds of beautiful women, which gives him a headache. Including Sophia.

Sophia feels different to Andre, not only because of her beauty and wealth, but also because she never makes Andre feel embarrassed and even keeps Andre out of a lot of trouble. She always expresses her heart to Andre with admiring eyes and gentle smile.

Andrea appreciates Sophia's propriety and her beauty. Andrea even wants to marry her if Sophia doesn't have a husband and she has the object of pursuit. Now, Andre has given up pursuing Princess Roland, and he doesn't mind having a romantic relationship with Sophia.

Now, Sophia openly admits that she has exiled her husband and silently bears all the accusations. From beginning to end, she doesn't look at Andre. Andre admires this kind of burden. Andre knows why Sophia exiled her little husband. She just wants to have a pure heir. Such a thing is not strange to the aristocracy, but she can do it.

Andre decides to rescue his confidant. He asks Melissa.

"Mrs. Melissa, what is this drink?"

Melissa was annoyed by the interruption of the Golden Knight. It seemed that she inadvertently pushed Sophia to Andre.

"It's called coffee."
