Those who are complicated in court etiquette have no right beyond Charlemagne.
This is the consensus of high society. When it comes to the complexity of Charlemagne's court etiquette, even the old Albion royal family had to kneel.
Since the collapse of the Kingdom of Gilmania, the royal family of Charlemagne has been regarded as a long-established royal family in the human country. In addition to its ancient heritage, the court etiquette has been continuously revised and added in various eras, making the entire court etiquette extremely cumbersome.
Take feeding dogs as an example. At least one maid with gorgeous clothes walked into the house where the dogs lived solemnly. Each person held a silver plate. The porcelain plate on the silver plate was filled with cut rooster breasts. , Put food in front of the puppy in turn. After the clerk played a few syllables with a clarinet decorated with golden irises, the servants moved the porcelain plate to the puppy. After the pets of His Majesty's pets finished eating, the clarinet played again and the servants took the plates away.
Even Wang Xingren can get such a tedious meal, not to mention other aspects, such as the important moment such as the engagement of Wang Nu, the etiquette bureaucratic index is unprecedented.
After the arrival of Charles IV, a series of salutes, blessings, praises, singing songs, kissing the back of the hand... When the engagement was finally completed, Roland was almost exhausted and paralyzed, almost couldn't help but fall asleep leaning on the back of the chair.
But sticking the buttocks to the chair does not mean entering the break time. It is just changing the posture to continue the ritual. The posture should continue to be correct. When listening to the blessing, you must not forget the elegant smile.
Just doing this for an hour is enough to make people cry and runny, and even more terrible-
"When I first met, Lord Roland, it was the Baron who was conferred by His Majesty the King, the branch of the Colbert family, and the Palas of the Navarra family. It was really flattering to be able to see the husband-in-law of Her Royal Highness. I had the honor to meet you next time—"
The details are somewhat different, and the talking face is completely different, but the subject matter is highly consistent.
Self-introduction + praising praise to Roland, by the adults of these Roland fathers and even grandfathers. Speaking in awe, Roland couldn't help it.
A word or two, it sounds a little happy to be praised. When the number exceeds 20, anyone will feel wrong. And Roland has been bored with this too obvious flattery since the tenth person. I thought that there are three-digit people waiting to repeat the same thing. They have to repeat monotonous movements like clockwork dolls. His head is almost exploding.
Listening to the same words, answering the same questions repeatedly, and unconditionally accepting the onlookers of hundreds of people-although it has long been understood that this is a politically necessary procedure, and it is clear not to say "marriage", to some extent, he and Minerva The existence of is itself "politics". Therefore, related education and training have been done well. But somehow. Roland always felt like a parrot in a pet store, placed in a golden cage, imitating human language to attract guests.
Perhaps these big names don't see themselves, but the financial power and power of Li Lin and v.e company behind them. For this reason, do their best to please.
but--
(Ah... it's terrible.)
If this treatment depends on one's own efforts to achieve actual achievements, or if Roland's character is sufficiently self-centered, this treatment may be taken for granted.
However, it should be said that he is only a citizen after all? Or is Li Lin's discipline too strict? Roland didn't seem to have too much self-confidence. It is really unacceptable to accept the current situation.
What did you do?
Indeed, in a series of events, he has performed well in people's eyes and is recognized as the ideal husband-in-law of Minerva. But without the support of Li Lin and the elf camp, those glorious deeds can never be like that. It's awkward, because there is such a strong support behind it, maybe you can do it even if you are not yourself.
From this level of consideration, it can appear in this mirror hall. Isn't it because of "accident"?
Struggling with this problem, the uneasy vortex in my heart gradually expanded.
In order to adjust his spirit, he listened pretendingly, and on the other he tried to turn the afterglow of his eyes to other directions.
The nobles who had met in the Hall of Mirrors reunited and chatted together, seemingly arbitrarily gathered together. In fact, they carefully divided the boundaries according to the factions of nobles, bureaucrats, and corporate cadres. There are also considerations for avoiding conflicting opinions and linguistic conflicts that would lead to a play duel on such an important occasion today.
In addition to negotiations, negotiations and conflicts under the water, the core of people's topics is naturally the Queen Minerva who is engaged today, and her life partner-Roland.
"However. Your Majesty and the Prime Minister are so bold that they actually let the people and His Highness conclude a marriage contract."
"Indeed, letting the blood of the foreign people into the pure blood of the glorious royal family is really..."
"There are no royal families in the country now. Choosing a husband-in-law from the princely family will cause the next generation of the royal family to face the risk of decentralization. With the support of the consortium, the throne can also be peaceful."
"Don't the consortium always support the second prince?"
"It's not clear..."
"What about that young man's magical ability?"
"It is said that it is an excellent person who will not shame the royal family. His Royal Highness Minerva, who is known as a talented girl, seems to be a bit worse than that."
"Oh, if that's the case, then it's a treasure. If a good descendant will be born in the future, the throne of the next generation will be..."
"It's too early to say that kind of thing..."
The nobles whispered and laughed without escaping Roland's attention. Listening to these contents with phonology made his mood worse.
He has long known that in the political world, there is no happiness and happiness. The so-called marriage is also a game of power. But he never thought about it. In the eyes of the nobility, in addition to the identity of the company's heir, only the outstanding magical talents can be left for the royal family, which can give birth to excellent descendants for the royal family.
What is the difference between this and a stallion? There should be a limit to look down on people-
"Roland--"
Just when Roland's mood kept accumulating unpleasantly~EbookFREE.me~When pretending to break the power, Minerva lowered his voice to remind.
The eyes turned to Minerva's eyes. At the corner of the venue, among the fancy dresses, red robes and dark dresses were particularly eye-catching. The two foxes far from the crowd were looking over here.
That was Richelieu and Li Lin.
The two big brothers at the top of Charlemagne's political ecology are shaking their wines for more than 40 years. Years of old friends are shaking their arms like joy, and two pairs of eyes are glancing at the young girls who have been admired.
A quick glance made Roland clearly feel the irresistible smell in his eyes.
"Even if you don't like it, you have to stick to it."
Holding the young man's hand covered with cocoons, Minerva squeezed a firm voice from under the smile. (To be continued...)
