Chapter 14 The Earl's Banquet
The carriage drove through the avenue and turned into a path.
The dense shade of trees on both sides blocked the sun and made the already dark interior of the carriage difficult to see.
“Drive!”
“Boom…”
Karl only felt that he was being thrown high and then fell heavily.
"I'm sorry."
The coachman sounded guilty:
"The road here is not easy to walk, especially near the pharmacist Adolf's manor. It is even more bumpy."
"It's okay." Karl didn't want to blame him too much and asked casually:
"Do you often take this road?"
"Yes."
The coachman replied:
"The toll out of the city is higher than in the city, and the toll here is Most of them are rich people like you.”
Rich people are more willing to spend money.
Karl nodded, opened the curtain and looked outside.
Through the shade of the trees, you can see a manor, with its quaint gate and tower, which may have a history of more than a hundred years.
Adolf the pharmacist?
Does such a large area belong to him alone? Why have I never heard of his name?
“We’re here!”
Earl Renekton's manor is not far away. There are many carriages parked in front of the door, and there are also gorgeously dressed guests coming and going.
"Karl!"
Dina waved from a distance:
"This way!"
Martha next to her looked towards him with a curious look on her face Karl, who got off the carriage, frowned subconsciously.
There are some weird clothes, there are obvious burns on the face, and it is said that he has a bad personality. Is this the kind of person my cousin wants me to know?
The Baron...
Besides the status of Baron, what else does this man have?
“Sir.”
Karl bent slightly and saluted:
"I'm late."
"It's because we're early." Dinah waved her hands indifferently, her eyes paused on him:
"The clothes are good."
Karl’s custom-made dress does not have cumbersome decorations, is cleaner and has a different kind of elegance.
Having been used to seeing gorgeous dresses, Dinah’s eyes lit up.
"The price is not bad."
Karl replied with a smile and looked at Martha aside:
"This is the beautiful cousin that the officer often mentioned, she is really impressive. Unforgettable.”
“Thank you.”
Martha bowed and was polite but distant.
Um?
I don’t like myself.
This is better!
With a smile on his face, Karl walked alone with Martha at Dinah's suggestion and walked toward the interior of the manor.
“I’ll tell you the truth.”
Seeing Dinah leaving, Martha immediately put away her polite expression, her expression became arrogant, and she held her neck high and said:
"The two of us are not suitable."
"What a pity. "Karl suppressed a smile:
"But don't worry, Miss Martha, I won't insist on you."
"Oh!"
Martha raised her eyebrows:
“You are quite a gentleman.”
The two of them talked, and they were no longer restrained. They walked to the manor lawn, where many people gathered. young people.
"Colclough."
"What?"
"The son of Earl Renekton."
Martha pointed to a young man in the crowd and smiled:
"Today is his coming-of-age ceremony."
The young man was well-dressed and had a red face. He held up his wine glass and made frequent gestures in front of the crowd.
“Hee hee…”
As if she had thought of something, Martha smiled mysteriously:
"Do you know what a coming-of-age ceremony is?"
"A birthday when someone comes of age." Karl asked:
< br>“Is there any special meaning?”
“Of course!”
Martha's eyes were charming:
"After a coming-of-age ceremony, you can do what adults should do. You don't even understand this, do you?"
At the coming-of-age ceremony , the elders will talk about the obligations that adults have towards society and the rights they enjoy.
They will also encourage their followers to abide by social ethics, serve the country, and be loyal to the gods.
But...
Just by looking at Martha's appearance, you can tell that the so-called coming-of-age ceremony she calls is by no means so 'traditional'.
“Look!” Martha gestured not far away:
“The women over there are all here specifically to help Colclough through the It’s a coming-of-age ceremony.”
“If he wants, he can keep them all tonight. Of course, this kind of woman is not worthy of keeping an heir of the Earl’s family.”
?
The corners of Karl’s mouth twitched slightly.
He was not surprised by what Martha said, but he saw a familiar face among those women.
The married cousin of my uncle Gedir's family.
Why is she here?
Although the relationship between this cousin and Karl was not good, and the number of meetings between the two was limited, they would never admit the wrong person.
The other party obviously recognized him. His expression changed and he turned around hastily, seemingly not intending to recognize him.
"Miss Martha."
Carl concealed the strangeness in his eyes:
"You don't seem surprised by this kind of thing?"
"Tsk..." Martha curled her lips, without the ladylike demeanor she had when they first met:
"What's so weird about things between men and women? Don't tell me that I haven't done this before? "
With a natural look on her face, she turned around and said:
"Mrs. Anne is here!"
Karl looked up.
Today, Mrs. Anne is dressed gorgeously, and her long skirt is like a blooming flower, which reflects the pinkness of her skin even more.
The towering breasts are astonishing, and the cheeks are smooth and delicate, even the complicated veil is suppressed.
It’s hard to imagine.
This is actually a woman who has been widowed for more than ten years.
“She is getting more and more beautiful!”
Martha's eyes were filled with enthusiasm, as if she were looking at the idol she had admired for a long time, and she subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands:
"I don't know how she takes care of herself. If I could have skin like hers, I would be satisfied. "
"Huh..."
"The person next to her seems to be the doctor Robert."
"Robert." Karl asked:
"Who is this again?"
The man next to Lady Anne was unattractive in appearance. He was wearing high-soled boots and was actually a little shorter than Anne.
But the two behaved intimately, like a loving couple.
“You don’t know Dr. Robert?” Martha looked over in surprise, then smiled mysteriously:
“You shouldn’t!”
"What?" Karl frowned:
"Should I know him?"
"All men in the city, especially rich men, should know him." Martha said seriously:
"It seems you don't have much money."
"..." Karl couldn't help but fell silent:
"Yes."
"But why do rich men know about him? Can Miss Martha explain it to me?"
"It's very simple." Martha's face showed that look again. A mysterious smile:
“Dr. Robert has a magical method that can help men add a few centimeters to their original weight.”
“How many centimeters more?”
"Yes."
"It seems..." Karl looked confused:
"It's of no use."
It's even less convincing!
That Robert himself is even shorter than women. If he can make people grow taller, why is he so short?
Say it again.
Women also have the need to grow taller, so why do they emphasize it specifically on men?
“Tsk, tsk…”
Martha shook her head:
“It’s not about growing taller.”
"It's not about growing taller, that's..." Karl was stunned for a moment, then woke up and couldn't help but laugh.
“Understood?”
“Understood.”
“Would you like me to introduce you to you?” Martha suggested:
"I have such face."
"No need." Karl shook his head:
"I don't have this need."
"Oh!" Martha looked down:
"Are you confident?"
"Miss Martha is probably not very experienced." Karl said slowly:
"Many times, being too powerful for a man is not an advantage, and can even make his companions feel disgusted and resistant."
Martha shrugged.
She knows this better than men, but she knows better about men's self-esteem.
“Karl!”
At this time, Dinah waved from afar.
"Sir." Carl was just trying to get rid of Martha, who was suspected of being a gangster. He heard the sound and walked over:
"Is something wrong?"
"Yes."
Dina His face was gloomy:
"Ham is dead. He died after being drained of his life force."
