I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law
Chapter 18 Dinner Party
The flickering candlelight illuminated the magnificent hall. The flame in the fireplace burned throughout the winter under the care of the servants. The hall was warm and bright. The servants lowered their heads and stole glances at the red-haired woman sitting in the middle. She was wearing a tight red dress. She was tall and slender, with a pair of jade arms exposed. Her skin was white and rosy under the candlelight. It was indeed as warm and bright as pearls, glowing slightly.
Bennett was led into the hall by the servant and sat next to the lord, followed by Aimee.
"Hello Bennett, I'm Helen Field."
Bennett obviously didn't expect her to take the initiative to greet him, and responded with a confused look on his face: "Hello, hello."
Helen didn't care about Bennett's reaction. Her blue eyes sparkled like the sea illuminated by the morning sun. The grandeur of the sea was not as great as her charming eyes. Her face did not have the three-dimensional sense of Westerners, but had soft curves like an Oriental face. Her small lips reflected two dimples when she smiled.
Aimee is sexy, Helen is emotional, Aimee is bold, Helen is lively.
Bennett really couldn't help but look twice more. Helen even winked at Bennett on purpose. She couldn't help it, she really couldn't help it, but the flesh around her waist was almost pinched purple.
Bennett turned his head with difficulty and whispered to Aimee, "You are still sexy."
Aimee then let go of her hand with a smug look on her face and turned to look at Helen. She saw that she was still observing Bennett and smiled at Aimee. Aimee smiled again and put her hand around Bennett's waist.
Bennett's face froze, and this time it really turned purple.
The lord was chatting with the Duke of Rose about the differences between the north and the south, Aimee was still struggling with the flesh around Bennett's waist, and Helen was the only one sitting there alone. She had none of the liveliness she had just when she blinked her eyes, but instead a sense of loneliness that made her independent. With a slender figure, a tight sleeveless dress, and draped red hair, she really was a mermaid waiting alone.
A mermaid sits on the rocks by the sea and sings solo. The surging waves carry her singing voice far away. Heroes who come to hear the singing, will it be love or a beautiful trap that awaits them?
Bennett couldn't help but take a sneak peek again. The magic around him was shaking a little, and his soul was unfolding. Hmm? Helen is a wizard apprentice!
Now Bennett didn't dare to peek anymore.
The people in the middle of the hall had their own thoughts, but the people who came from outside the hall did not have so many thoughts. Now he was not happy about learning that he was going to meet a beautiful mermaid lady, but was troubled by these trivial matters.
The protagonist of tonight is here, wearing a white windbreaker embellished with a giant gold wolf pattern, tight breeches, and a pair of deerskin boots. His long golden, slightly curly hair is loose and tied behind his head. His face is tough and thin, his skin is fair, his shoulders are broad, his back is straight, and he has a serious face, the cold-faced male god Kenny.
The domineering president fell in love with the beautiful mermaid at first sight? Unfortunately, it was not the case. After Kenny came in, he smiled at Aimee, humphed at Bennett, and nodded to Helen.
Northern men don't like weakness. Bennett is as weak as a chicken, and Helen is as gentle as a pool of water.
So what does the lord think?
When everyone was present, the lord asked the servants to lead everyone to the dining room. This time, there was no round table, but a formal long table with numerous tableware placed on it. The lord sat in the main seat, Grand Duke Field sat on the right, Helen sat next, and finally Aimee. The lord's wife sat on the left, followed by Kenny, and finally Bennett.
Across from Kenny is Helen, and across from Bennett is Aimee.
Soothing music sounded, and the servants poured the first glass of wine for everyone. The rich aroma of fruits and dried fruits filled the air. The lord took the lead in raising his glass, and everyone followed suit. The rich aroma of honey, oranges, almonds and other dried fruits exploded on the tip of the tongue.
"It is indeed the world-famous rose gin. Thank you for your gift, Grand Duke Field."
"Hahaha, the other wines I brought are also treasures that you must try."
Appetizer: Smoked silver carp.
This time Bennett didn't need to learn how to eat like Aimee, but Aimee still remembered the scene. The experience of that year was still vivid in her mind. The corners of her mouth raised slightly. Smoked silver carp is not as fat as foie gras, but it also has a different flavor.
The second course is soup. The clear stew has a bland taste, which just washes away the taste of the previous dish in your mouth and prepares for the next one.
The third dish was shrimp. The servants were considerate enough to pour a glass of lemonade into Bennett's cup. Bennett really didn't expect that the servants would stab him in the back. Looking at the dull lemonade in the cup and bowl, Aimee couldn't help laughing out loud.
Helen looked at Bennett, who had a strange expression on his face, and couldn't help asking Aimee, who was laughing, "What happened?"
"Nothing, just thinking of something happy."
Aimee specially asked the servant to deliver the shrimps she had peeled to Bennett, and Bennett ate the shrimps with a wry smile.
The fourth course is jelly, which clears the fishy taste in your mouth and prepares for the next dish.
The fifth dish is stewed venison. The fishy smell of venison is completely suppressed by the seasoning. Taking a sip of red wine, the mouth is like the waves hitting the coastline, and the wonderful flavors come layer by layer.
"Good wine."
The lord took the wine from the servant and looked at it carefully.
“This red wine was carefully selected by Helen. It has a strong aroma and rich layers of flavor.”
"It is indeed a fine banquet wine."
The sixth dish was grilled ribs, venison, medium rare, without even much seasoning. Bennett found it hard to eat the bloody ribs. The bones were still there, very thin and brittle. This was not the ribs of an adult deer. The deer was still pregnant at this point and would not give birth to a fawn, but the fetus had already formed in her belly.
"Is this a local deer? The meat is so tender."
Helen was very satisfied with the steak and put the small pieces of meat into her mouth to taste them carefully.
“This is a fetal deer.”
"What is a fetal deer?"
"It's the unborn deer."
Helen's eyes widened, there was blood-red juice at the corners of her mouth, the knife and fork in her hands trembled slightly, and she suddenly leaned to the side and covered her chest.
"vomit."
The servant next to her patted her back gently.
Bennett and Aimee knew what it was at first sight, Bennett chose to put down his knife and fork, while Aimee ate it with gusto.
The lord watched coldly while chewing the ribs in his mouth.
Archduke Field had a blank expression on his face.
Kenny chewed the rib meat and bones in his mouth and swallowed them. He sneered and said, "This is a good tonic."
The lord swallowed the rib meat in his mouth and said with a smile: "It seems that the difference between you in the south and us in the north is quite big. Butler, serve Miss Helen a normal portion of deer ribs."
"Please wait a moment, Miss Helen."
"Enjoy it, Miss Helen."
This is really a wait, the food will be served right after you leave. (Generally, chefs will not prepare it this way unless someone tells them to.)
Helen looked at the fragrant venison ribs in front of her with a grim face, and her hands holding the knife and fork trembled uncontrollably.
"Thank you Archduke Field for the champagne. The banquet was exquisite and perfect."
This compliment did not inspire a smile in the Grand Duke. His face turned livid and he was no longer interested.
"You're welcome."
Helen didn't eat any of the following dishes, but just drank a few sips of black tea after the meal.
After dinner, Grand Duke Rose did not stay long. He just said hello and got on the carriage.
No matter how beautiful the mermaid's trap is, there is no danger as long as you don't be greedy.
What was unusual was that before Helen got in the car, she said to Bennett: "I hope I can ask you for advice next time I come here, Master Bennett."
He got into the car without waiting for Bennett's reaction.
Everyone is about to leave but I still feel uneasy.
Kenny looked at Bennett and rubbed his fists. Fortunately, Aimee carried Bennett away in time, but the cries for mercy that had been heard in the room until midnight continued into the second half of the night.
Bennett's waist is really failing.
