Because there was no one else in the lounge, Lawrence focused his attention on the tea and cakes on the coffee table in front of him. After all, although he had eaten a little bit before leaving, Lawrence did not dare to eat and drink too much, considering that he had to attend the palace at night. Fortunately, for the extraordinary, not eating a meal will not affect anything.

The provision of snacks and tea here is actually to provide some food mats for the party participants who rushed over without eating. After all, not everyone of this kind of palace ball is extraordinary like Lawrence. The average person may not be able to handle a few hours of dancing party hungry.

But here is worthy of the palace, taking tea and snacks as examples. This world only has the kind of green tea that Lawrence said in his previous life, but after ordinary people buy green tea, they often only use local dim sum to match. This makes it a bit nondescript. At the same time, to be honest, those dim sums are not very suitable for matching. Eat with green tea.

And in this lounge, all the tea is accompanied by the most authentic Aurora-style desserts. Everything seemed so harmonious. But before Lawrence had time to taste a few snacks, the door of the lounge opened, and a young man who appeared to be about 30 years old in a gorgeous blue and gold military uniform that was unique to the royal family walked in.

"Prince Eugene is here." The footman who led the way said when the young man in military uniform came in, he should be introducing the man's identity.

"His Royal Highness Eugene, it is nice to meet you. Your performance in counterinsurgency has made me respect from the bottom of my heart. Please allow me to salute you!" Lawrence said and stood up, then took off his hat and put it on He bowed to his chest. His respect is from the heart, because the young man in front of him successfully put down the rebellion and saved a large number of innocent people.

"I am also very happy to meet you, Mr. August." Before entering the door, Prince Eugene asked the valet about the identity of the guest in the lounge, and there was only Lawrence in the lounge, so naturally he would not admit it. "Especially the disinfection theory you put forward before and the set of first aid manuals compiled afterwards have saved a lot of lives."

As a professional soldier, Prince Eugene naturally paid attention to all matters related to the army. So after Lawrence published his thesis on disinfection theory and first aid in the field, he immediately saw these things and keenly discovered these things and promoted these theories in his army.

And the effect of this is gratifying. After the introduction of new disinfection and first aid methods, the medical effect in the military has been greatly improved, and the operating cost of the military medical system has been significantly reduced. The reason for this effect is also very simple, that is, this kind of disinfection and first aid in many cases can curb the deterioration of the injury, so that the wounded can be cured directly by ordinary means.

Therefore, although Prince Eugene had never seen Lawrence before, he had a very good impression of him. After seeing Lawrence bow and salute to himself, he also paid a military salute in a formal manner.

After saluting each other, the two quickly sat down across the coffee table facing each other. At this time, the servant next to him quickly took the leftovers that Lawrence had eaten on the coffee table and replaced them with new things.

"There is no need for the two of us to speak in honorifics like that group of old men and old ladies." Prince Eugene waved his hand and said, just after sitting down. "We are all young people, there is no need to be so rigid."

Prince Eugene's behavior made Lawrence stunned for a moment, no matter whether he just made a certain gesture, but this kind of attitude, which can be said to be a courteous corporal, still made Lawrence feel more comfortable in his heart.

Of course, from the other side, both of them belong to the natural emperor faction. Moreover, with Lawrence's current academic status, any ruler with a bit of foresight would choose to be courteous. Therefore, although civilians like Lawrence are inferior in terms of traditional etiquette, it is not surprising that Prince Eugene chooses to treat Lawrence equally.

"Can you tell me about the new weapons you used in the guard battle of the referee a few days ago?" After two people drank tea at the same time and took the opportunity to relax, Prince Eugene immediately asked a question.

On the one hand, he chose this question because he heard that these weapons are all related to Lawrence, so choosing this topic at this time is a good starting point. On the other hand, as a soldier, Prince Eugene is very interested in various new weapons and new tactics. Therefore, after discovering that the new weapon used by Lawrence turned the tide of the war at the time, he also became interested in the weapon itself and the method of use.

But before Lawrence had time to answer, a male servant opened the door of the lounge and said to Lawrence and Prince Eugene: "Gentlemen, the prom is about to begin—"

"Ah, it's not a coincidence." Prince Eugene complained to Lawrence and said to Lawrence, "I think we are going to the prom now, so we can only talk after we finish the opening dance for a while."

"Yes, this is indeed a pity." Lawrence nodded, and then he walked towards the hall together under the leadership of the servant. The gilded oak gate that was closed just now opened, revealing the hall behind which was used for the dance party today.

This hall is the most magnificent hall Lawrence has ever seen: the main color of the entire hall is gold and blue. A large number of gilded carved wood panels, plasterboard and velvet wallpaper decorate the whole room with magnificence. . On the roof, several golden crystal lamps with a height of one person glowed brightly. At the same time, the spices mixed in during the candle making continued to spit out a hint of fragrance.

Because this is a private dance party, there are not many participants. It seemed that only thirty or forty people attended the ball. Considering the urgent notice of this dance party, many people may not have suitable partners. The palace also specially let those servants of noble origin who served in the palace serve as temporary dancing partners.

Lawrence naturally invited a lady to serve as his temporary dance partner, and then stood there quietly with the others facing the throne. After more than a minute, the door next to the throne opened, and His Majesty the Emperor walked out of the door with his queen.

Both the emperor and the queen looked like middle-aged people in their 40s, and their faces looked very kind. Among them, what attracted Lawrence's eyes the most was that the emperor was as white-haired and blue-eyed as himself. It may be the external manifestation of the legendary unicorn bloodline power.

After the emperor and the queen stood on the stage placed by the throne ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ everyone's applause stopped immediately. Then the emperor gave a simple speech before the ball.

The content of the speech is also very simple, because all the young people invited today are from the emperor's faction. Therefore, apart from saying a few words like seeing young people like everyone, His Majesty feels very happy, and the future of the empire can be expected. As well as calling on everyone to continue to be loyal to the royal family, loyal to the country, etc., the ball will soon be announced.

A band in gorgeous dresses appeared on the stage next to the hall as if suddenly appeared, and then played a cheerful music. Then His Majesty the Emperor Joseph I walked into the center of the dance floor and the queen danced for the ball.

After the first paragraph of the music was over, everyone else entered the dance floor, and Lawrence was no exception. In fact, he is not very good at dancing, but he has learned a little bit from Saifei when he traveled before.

Fortunately, the temporary dance partners arranged by the palace are not low in this aspect. At the same time, Lawrence, as an extraordinary person, is much better than ordinary people in reaction ability and physical coordination. The most important thing is that the palace dance itself is not that. This is a very complicated dance, in Lawrence's eyes, it just keeps spinning in circles. So he quickly learned this kind of dance, and then danced gracefully to the music.
