Northern Lights

Neck is sore.

"Don't open your mouth so wide, like a countryman who has never seen the world." Bernie reminded him unceremoniously.

Sebastian kept his mouth shut, with a clearly discriminated and aggrieved expression on his face, "I'm originally from the country."

In fact, what he has to do is very simple, that is, to help the guests refill the wine on the day of the conferment ceremony, and just put away the wine glasses. Confessing that he had to find someone he knew well, Bernie thought of Sebastian.

Sebastian was a smart kid, and he memorized the etiquette, the way of pouring wine, and how to identify the rank of nobility after listening to it.

After the emergency training was over, Bernie wanted to stay in the palace and wait for the king's instructions, so he asked Sebastian to go back first, but it was the first time for him to come to such a high-end and high-end place. After leaving, he quietly returned and wandered around.

Although no one would drive him out after being brought in by the imperial physician, after all, one could tell from his clothes that he was an outsider. There were guards in many places to prevent him from entering. The only place where he could freely enter and exit was the library of the palace. , the administrator grandpa inside seemed to be asleep while lying on the table, Sebastian walked around inside a few times and felt bored, so he planned to go back.

After going out, I met Crown Prince Kimi and his guards walking towards me on the promenade. Looking at the crown prince with a cold face all day long, he looked even more handsome. His ice blue pupils were as bright as the sun shining on him. The snow-covered mountain tops are just as dazzling. The sun is obviously very warm, but it is still cold after being reflected by the snow.

Sebastian froze for a moment, then stepped aside and bowed his head before they approached.

Kimi glanced at him contemptuously, and as he passed by, Sebastian clearly heard him say in a haughty voice to the guards beside him, "What's the matter now, can beggars come in and out of the palace as they please?"

beggar?Are you talking about him? Sebastian looked up at Kimi who was slowly walking away, restraining himself in his heart, but when they passed a wall lamp, it suddenly fell off from its solid base and hit the ground next to Kimi's feet.

"Maybe the screw is rotten." The guard said after squatting down to check.

Kimi looked back and saw Sebastian was still there, with a trace of surprise in his lazy eyes, Sebastian was startled, did he notice anything?Immediately fled with a guilty conscience.

Celebration

After two days of training, Sebastian became a qualified waiter.

When night came, the crown prince's conferment ceremony started on time in the palace, and almost all the nobles and dignitaries of Lapland gathered in the magnificent banquet hall.

Many aristocrats brought their ostentatious daughters to the ceremony to increase the likelihood of a royal marriage.

Sebastian felt that they were dressed too gorgeously, and although they looked good, they were not perfect. He already had a perfect goddess in his heart.

Lady Meester became the focus of the audience as soon as she appeared. The simple and gorgeous pearl-colored dress set off her noble temperament, and the bold backless design made her figure more slender and concave-convex. Even King Hakkinen's eyes were full In order to appreciate it, she deserves to be the first candidate for the princess.

"You are so beautiful today, the moonlight outside the window is much dimmed by your comparison." Although he spoke sweet words, Kimi's eyes were as indifferent as ever, as if what was in front of him was just a pink skull.

Meester responded to his insincere praise with a sweet smile. He has such a character since he was a child, so she will not take it to heart. Besides, her goal has been achieved tonight. A simple appearance defeated all potential opponents and strengthened her princess. The status of the best candidate.

The star-studded Lady Meester in the crowd nodded to Sebastian who was not far away, and Sebastian also responded with a very bright smile, but Bernie beside him reminded in an ugly way: "You are here for work, don't be an idiot."

Sebastian resentfully went back to pass the plate and pour the wine to the guests.

"You've finally dressed properly this time."

A lazy voice came from above his head, and Sebastian looked up to meet Kimi's cold eyes.

"It's... Bernie bought it for me." Sebastian explained in a panic, how could he still remember him?Couldn't really doubt him.

"Obviously that slovenly old man has much better taste than you." Kimi curled the corners of her lips, and there was a hint of teasing in her words.

It turned out that he also thought Bernie was sloppy, Sebastian couldn't help laughing, this iceman is not very cruel sometimes.And approaching Kimi's face looks more handsome, blond hair shining under the light, fair skin is clean and shiny, Sebastian thinks he is the most eye-catching in the audience today except Meester, the future king and queen have such It's no wonder that the subjects of Lapland are crazy about their looks.

"Where are you from?" Kimi put his empty wine glass on the plate.

Sebastian offers him a glass of white wine, "Esperger."

"It seems a bit far from Lapland." Kimi uncharacteristically started gossiping with his parents.

Sebastian nodded, "Yeah, I walked for three and a half days to get here."

"All by walking?" Kimi frowned and asked puzzledly, "Why don't you ride a horse or take a carriage?"

"Our family doesn't have a horse, and it's very expensive to hire a carriage." Sebastian confessed honestly.

Kimi thought about it for a while and concluded, "So... you're poor?"

Sebastian shrugged, not that there was anything wrong with being poor.

"I heard that the kirsch in Espoo is a must." Kimi found a topic he was interested in.

"Yes, Espoo has plenty of sunshine in summer, and the cherries grow big and sweet. Speaking of which, it's the harvest season of cherries." Sebastian began to talk about his hometown.

"I really want to taste it."

"Next time you come to our house, I'll make sure you drink until you're full." Sebastian laughed, revealing two rows of neat and white teeth.

"You look so stupid when you smile." Kimi suddenly scowled, took a glass of wine and left.

Sebastian is a bit confused, he can't figure out what he did wrong and why he is suddenly upset, this person is really not ordinary moody.

As the dinner draws to a close, the king invites the most famous harpist in Lapland, Adrian Sutil, to play a finale, which marks a perfect end to the crown prince's ceremony.

Adrian Sutil sat down beside the huge harp in the center of the stage, and everyone present fell silent. His slender fingers shuttled back and forth on the strings. All intoxicated by the beautiful performance.

Only Sebastian could hear the strangeness in it. The sound of the piano sounded like heaven at first, but after listening to it for a long time, there was a strange force that drilled hard into his brain. Sebastian felt that something was wrong, so he covered his ears and squatted behind the long table.

Then he saw the guests fall down round after round, and gradually the lights went out, until everyone present fell asleep.

Sutil stood up, drew a dagger from his trousers and walked towards the crowd, not paying attention to the person in the corner who was not affected by the magic sound.

Sebastian found out that his target was Crown Prince Kimi, he was the only one awake in the hall, and it was too late to go out to find the guards.

The pianist holding the dagger was only a few steps away from Kimi's throne. Sebastian raised his head and broke the hook of the chandelier on the roof. The huge glass chandelier fell towards him, and Sutil fell down.

After he fell into a coma, the people in the banquet hall gradually began to wake up.

When everyone was ignorant of his coma, the determined pianist struggled to get up and threw the dagger at Kimi.

At this critical moment, Sebastian rushed forward and pushed Kimi down, and the dagger was deeply nailed into the back of the throne behind him. The pianist had exhausted his last strength and fell to the ground dead.

After seeing what happened at the scene, the king came to Sebastian's side, "You saved my son's life, and I must repay you."

"It's okay, it's just a little effort." Sebastian said a little embarrassed.

The king admired the humble young man, "You deserve a reward."

Since the king said he would give him a reward, Sebastian stopped being polite. After all, it was the crown prince's life, so it should be very valuable, right?

Unexpectedly, the king patted him on the shoulder and said, "You will become an employee of the royal family, Crown Prince Kimi's personal entourage."

What?What kind of reward is this? Sebastian suspected he had heard wrong, originally he wanted
