The reason why the two princesses appeared in the courtyard was because Leizia invited Princess Margaret to take a walk in the courtyard to see the scenery of the noble banquet of the Kingdom of Delarion. This is also a way to demonstrate the national strength of Delarion Way.

Naturally, the princesses were surrounded by young people who had gathered for various purposes, but when the princess was talking to Mr. Smith and Baron Fuller, they did not come forward.

When the two old gentlemen heard that the Marquis Da Vinci, the Deputy Minister of Finance of De La Rion, was also here, they left together to visit him. Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people around the princesses at this time, Xia De said to Leiziya with a natural expression:

"Your Highness, I heard that you have a copy of "Summer Nights" in your hand. My girlfriend, Miss Dorothy Louisa, is very interested in that book. I wonder if you can lend it to us."

"certainly."

Rezia understood the "sign" and was very happy that Xia De could take the initiative to mention this matter:

"I happen to have that book with me, but I can't bring it to you for the time being. When it's convenient, I will send a maid to find you."

She said with a serious face, Xia De nodded immediately:

"Thank you for your generosity."

This conversation is to make the invitation for a while less obtrusive.

Princess Margaret on the side heard their conversation and was very curious about it:

"The manuscript "Summer Night Collection"? I've heard of this famous collection of essays, can I have a look too?"

Xia De touched the cat's head on his shoulder and turned his face to the other side. Rezia's expression changed instantly, but quickly returned to normal:

"If you're interested, I'll give you that book tomorrow as a thank you for that bottle of red wine."

After speaking, he glanced at Xia De, and found that Xia De was turning his head, as if he was interested in the champagne tower in the tent beside him, so he slightly pulled up the skirt with his lowered left hand, exposing his left foot wearing high heels in the dark. Taking advantage of no one's attention, Rezia kicked Xia De lightly. But when Xia De went to see Rezia again, Her Royal Highness invited Xia De to join the conversation again as if she hadn't done anything.

Although it was the wedding banquet of the royal princess, neither the king nor Queen Diana actually came. They only attended the wedding ceremony at the Peace Church in the afternoon. Therefore, in theory, the highest status in the banquet is Duke Galina Cavendish, but Miss Galina is still chatting with Miss Sylvia on the third floor, so besides the bride and groom, Cavendish The princesses and princes of the family, as well as Margaret Anjou, who came to visit the city, are the real protagonists of this banquet.

After the two old gentlemen left, before Xia De chatted with the two princesses for too long, the local young nobles and girls approached again.

"Mr. Hamilton, I recall that you are Sir Smith's neighbour?"

Rezia pretended to be curious and asked, Xia De nodded:

"Yes, we all live in Saint Teresa Square, not far from the Yodel Palace."

"Oh, I've also heard of the Place Saint Teresa."

Princess Margaret smiled and said:

"It is said that it is one of the most expensive places in Tobesk."

"Yes, Your Highness. There's even a joke about the Place Saint Teresa."

There was a voice from the surrounding crowd, and Xia De saw that it was a gentleman in his twenties who was familiar to him but did not know him, wearing a red coat:

"It is said that government officials in Tobesk like to live in Plaza de Saint Teresa after retirement. Only by living there can they avoid being continuously monitored by MI6."

"why?"

Someone asked again, and the gentleman in the red coat said:

"Because the land price is too expensive, MI6 can't afford to buy a nearby house, so it can't monitor for a long time."

Everyone laughed, and Princess Margaret and Rezia also smiled in unison.

This kind of behavior of mocking housing prices and land prices is something that everyone likes to see. Even Xia De smiled, but he immediately thought:

"Yeah, senior civil servants like my neighbor, Mr. Smith, must know a lot of kingdom secrets. Even after retirement, they should be under constant surveillance. Near his home, there should be MI6 agents occasionally. ...where will it be?"

[Is it possible that it is you? 】

"She" asked with a chuckle.

The temperature tonight is indeed a bit low, and the two princesses will not stay in the courtyard for too long. But it is indeed very lively here. The candles on the dining table and the gas lamps in the courtyard make everything around seem to be shining. At the lively wedding banquet, everyone could find something they were interested in. The group didn't continue talking at the long table for too long, and soon it was time to share the cake.

Amidst the people's celebrations, the Espergers held a silver table knife and cut a symbolic cut on the five-layer cake, and then servants continued to divide the cake.

Little Miya, who was standing on Xia De's shoulder, looked at the cake with piercing eyes, but for the sake of the cat's health, Xia De did not give it this food. The two princesses accepted Mr. Asperger's kindness and each took a small cake, but Shad noticed that they were just holding the dinner plate and did not actually eat it.

After the cake was cut, fun banquet games were also held at the long tables in the courtyard.

What surprised Xia De the most was the game of "catch the devil".

Start by filling a shallow bowl with raisins. After soaking the raisins in the brandy, light the brandy. The joyfully dancing blue flame quickly illuminated the faces of the people around. The people participating in the game will take turns reaching into the flames, grabbing a burning raisin, and eating it as soon as possible before their fingers and tongue are hurt.

It's quite a dangerous activity, but people seem to be getting used to it and having a good time. Even if someone is hurt and screams in pain, it will only make the surrounding guests laugh, and then others continue to reach for the brandy on fire.

Even Rezia and Margarita were not surprised by this kind of game, which was obviously a reserved item at the wedding banquet.

In the "catch the devil" game, the person who can eat the most raisins can also get a gold-plated badge in the shape of a grape as a reward. Fortunately, Xia De only needs to prove his "strength, wisdom and charisma" and does not need to prove his "courage".

Therefore, in order not to look so stupid, instead of joining this dangerous but exciting game, he was invited to play another tableside game with the princesses.

The clothes of the two princesses are not suitable for activities with a lot of movement. The new game in the courtyard does not require much exercise, because it is dart throwing.

This is not common in taverns. Under the watchful eyes of a group of people, a spiked dart is thrown at a small target. Instead, a human-shaped target with a height of one person is made very creatively. On the forehead, heart and left and right sides The locations of the kidneys, each with a small red circle representing the target. Except for these four targets, the other positions of the erected humanoid target are separated by black dotted lines, and some small requirements are written in each place, such as reciting poems or praising the moon. location, it is necessary to enforce these requirements.

Shad really didn't understand why people liked this kind of human target, but anyway, he was invited to join the game.

Because the two princesses were present, Mr. Randolph Eisberg did not leave after cutting the cake, but replaced his old butler as the host of the game.

The dart game here lasts all night, and guests who want to try it will get a gold-plated dart-shaped brooch as long as they can hit any of the four circles.

Princess Margaret seemed to be in high spirits, and she was discussing with Rezia which of them would come first.

The human-shaped target was set up beside the long table. In the end, it was Leizia who stood on the trail on the side of the trail about five or six steps away. Amidst the lively discussions among the people, she took the lead in picking up the dart:

"Hopefully my luck is good enough."

Her Royal Highness said with a smile, and with a light throw, the dart flew towards the target, but it didn't hit any of the four circles, but hit the target's right leg.

"Praise the Moon" was written in red ink on the right leg, so Rezia actually recited a little poem.

Next is Princess Margaret. She also behaved similarly to Rezia. Although the dart finally stabbed into the target, it only pierced the position of the right eye.

She smiled and complained to Rezia that the four red circles were too small, and then called the servant to bring the wine, and took a sip, fulfilling the requirement of "drinking the red wine".

Now that the two princesses are here, people who want to impress them have also joined the game. After Princess Margaret, the younger brother of the groom Mr. Asperger, the acne-faced Maca Asperger first appeared.

He also played the game of unwrapping presents on the other side of the long table, wearing a strange hairpin that looked like an antenna. After a couple of probes with the dart, I threw it with a jerk, but the dart didn't even hit the target, but flew straight into the bushes on the other side, causing people to roar with laughter.

After young Asperger blushed and stepped back, Shad came out. But the first thing he had to do was find someone to take care of his cat. As a result, before Xia De could find a maid, the cat stretched out its two front paws towards Rezia in Xia De's arms quite consciously.

Xia De almost broke out in cold sweat at the time, but fortunately, Rezia smiled and praised Littlea's cleverness, and then took the cat naturally.

Shocked, Xia De took the dart and walked to the horizontal line on the ground, raised the dart and looked at the target, the voice in his ear was still so clear amidst the noise of the crowd.

[Go down a little. 】

Even though his eyes can see the target, he still needs help.

"I'm a little curious, can other people's 'other me' also play the role of 'aided aiming'?"

Xia De thought curiously, looking at the target:

"After all, apart from direct attack thaumaturgy such as sunlight rays, most spirit and energy radiation type thaumaturgy require aiming."

"She" just chuckled but didn't answer, and Xia De didn't care. After confirming that his strength had been adjusted, he lightly threw the dart in his hand. So under the watchful eyes of the surrounding people, the dart pierced the heart of the target very precisely. A smile appeared on the corner of Xia De's mouth, but he didn't back down immediately. Instead, another dart came, lightly With a light throw, it hit the forehead of the target.

"It's really good."

Rezia, who knew Shad's goal tonight, praised.

"Mr. Hamilton, you are very good at this game, aren't you?"

Princess Margaret also asked curiously, Shade nodded:

"Yes, Your Highness, I am a detective by profession. Because of my profession, I am proficient in tracking, boxing, Rhodes cards, darts, etc."

He said softly, originally thinking that this would be enough, but if he said more, he would appear a little too arrogant, but he didn't expect Leiziya to ask with a smile at this time:

"Knight, since you are so good at darts, and there are two targets on the target, how about trying again blindfolded?"

After speaking, she looked at Princess Margaret, who also nodded with a smile:

"Yes, but it doesn't have to be too much pressure, it's just a banquet game."

"Of course, Your Highness, it's an honor to perform for you."

Xia De said that he was very fortunate that Leiziya knew how to cooperate so well.

People were very excited, and the fact that Xia De won the first place with Princess Agelina in the horse race just now was also discussed by people.

Mr. Eisberg quickly asked his servants to fetch the black cloth, and Shade, who was blindfolded, still managed to hit the remaining two targets on the target with a pointed dart.

When he took off the black cloth covering his eyes ~lightnovelpub.net~ the people around applauded. Rezia smiled while hugging Mia, and Princess Margaret praised softly:

"I met a gentleman from De La Rion in Huntington. He was able to throw three coins into an empty wine glass while blindfolded. Maybe I should introduce you."

"What's the gentleman's name?"

Xia De pretended to be curious and asked.

"Sherlock Holmes."

Princess Margaret said, reaching out to touch Littlea who was being held by Rezia, but was blocked by the cat's paw.

"Sorry, Your Highness."

Xia De hurriedly apologized, and then took the cat back. Princess Margaret shook her head slightly, but she was more interested in the rumored "social butterfly" of Tobesk in front of her.
