"Hurry up! What are you dawdling for? Does it take so long to fetch a basin of water?"
"Who told you to bring your casual clothes? Go get your formal clothes!"
"What? You think this is a dress? This is a casual dress! As a maid of the Castel family, can't you even tell the difference between casual dress and a dress?!"
"The dresses are in a separate closet! They are custom-made in advance for each banquet! Each one can only be worn once!"
"You don't have to bring all of them. Just bring the ones in warm colors. The master asked us to dress in a more mature and sunny style."
In Castel Manor, Quasimodo was directing the busy maids and waiters, puffing his beard and glaring.
Although they had been trained by Charlotte for many days, it was obvious that the newcomers had never dealt with banquet preparations at the level of a Duke's Dinner, and they were a little flustered for a moment.
In the manor, one could hear the old servant's roaring that never stopped.
Looking at the dresses brought by the maids, Charlotte sighed helplessly and finally chose a gorgeous evening dress with white as the main color.
Moreover, perhaps it is the existence of supernatural powers that has allowed high-end productivity to transcend the times. The food, clothing, housing and transportation of the nobles in the world of Miria are still quite advanced.
On the whole, the entire society is still in the feudal era. Ordinary people and the lower class still live a life similar to that of the Blue Star in the Middle Ages, but the upper class has clearly entered into material conditions similar to those of the Blue Star Renaissance and even the Enlightenment.
The gap between the rich and the poor is extremely large.
Even a tuxedo was made, which even led to Charlotte thinking that she had traveled through time to the 17th or 18th century when she first traveled through time.
It was not until she left the manor that she realized that this world was actually more backward than she had imagined.
After adding and subtracting, the overall estimate is that it is equivalent to the late Middle Ages of Blue Planet, around the 15th century.
Different from the fashionable and avant-garde Gothic skirts, evening dresses have dignified and beautiful patterns, heavy fabric styles, and extremely complicated decorations, with a lot of embroidery and seams, and many places are decorated with jewels. The overall style is strong and luxurious.
In addition, the shape is also exaggerated, with padding, corseting, lining... all kinds of shaping things are stuffed in, which makes it uncomfortable to wear.
Especially the big crinoline, which made Charlotte feel like a human tank, wearing an oversized heavy hula hoop.
But there is also an advantage, this skirt is very convenient for hiding small things.
Charlotte took advantage of no one's attention and decisively put the crossbow in to defend herself.
After stuffing everything in, I felt there was still enough space, so I also stuffed in a dagger and a few magic scrolls I got from Nice.
Wash, dry, dress, do your hair, put on powder, spray perfume...
After some tedious preparations, forty minutes had passed.
Charlotte stood in the mercury mirror and felt that she looked more beautiful and charming than before. Beneath her youthful and charming appearance, there was more maturity and charm.
She smelled really good too, even Charlotte didn't expect she could smell so good, so fragrant and soft.
This is all the effect of the dress and the perfume, but also of Charlotte's natural beauty.
Under the cumbersome dress, even the pair of marshmallows on her chest seemed a lot bigger because of the tight fit, and there was even a cleavage.
Although Charlotte always felt that in the matter of her having a ditch... it was as if something precious deep in her heart was broken.
After completing her preparations, the girl boarded the carriage for the banquet.
The carriage chosen was also the best one in Castel Manor, with exquisite patterns, gold edges and gems. The black eagle emblem of the Castel family on the side was shining, luxurious and grand.
The old servant Quasimodo served as temporary butler, and was accompanied by two maids and two male servants.
The maid and the butler sat in the second servant carriage, on which was placed the gift for the birthday dinner, a religious oil painting selected from the manor's collection, valued at two hundred thousand quintas.
This is the entire team attending the banquet.
The black cat Nice was lying on the second-floor window, staring at the people who were getting ready to set off, his big amber eyes full of pity.
Of course, no one really felt sorry for it, not even the maid in the manor.
During this period, this guy didn't dare to act rudely towards Charlotte, so Charlotte temporarily gave up the idea of giving him a deluxe sterilization package. However, it caused a lot of chaos for the maids, who even had to check if there was a fat cat wandering around before changing clothes.
Although being stared at by a cat doesn't seem to be a big deal, being stared at by a talking cat with such a weird gaze is somewhat uncomfortable, as if being peeped at by a pervert.
Charlotte felt that this lecherous cat would sooner or later hit the wall and pay the price, and would be castrated sooner or later.
It just bullies ordinary people like maids.
Judging from his strength alone, this guy can't even beat Charlotte. His physical fitness is also a waste of no rank, just a little stronger than an ordinary cat...
But... Nice can perform a series of high-end divine arts and even magic.
It's also weird.
Charlotte was sure the cat had a secret of its own, but it didn't want to tell it, and Charlotte didn't force it.
After all, who in this world doesn't have a secret or two
It is enough not to betray her. Trust and loyalty will slowly change over time.
After a little thought, Charlotte waved to the window on the second floor.
After all, this guy knows a lot of divine arts and magic. If he is carried with him, he can be considered an expert. So we should just let it go.
Seeing the girl's gesture, Nice's eyes lit up.
It meowed instantly, jumped out impatiently, and jumped onto the carriage amid the screams of the maids.
"Stay away from me and be aware of your identity. You can follow me, but as a pet."
Looking at the excited black cat, Charlotte said coldly.
Nice's cat face collapsed instantly.
It forced itself not to look at the girl's attractive chest, sighed regretfully, and then jumped into the servant carriage at the back to harass the maid.
The convoy drove slowly and left Castel Manor.
Charlotte leaned leisurely against the car window, took out the wine glass and the milk bag prepared by the maid from the secret compartment, and filled them up skillfully.
After passing through the relatively spacious and bright streets in the western city, the convoy moved eastward and entered the eastern city after about fifteen minutes.
As the most central area of Bold City and also the area with the largest number of nobles, the buildings in the eastern city are generally much more magnificent.
The streets are spacious, bright, neat and clean. Religious sculptures, fountains and small gardens can be seen everywhere. Even the clothes of pedestrians on the streets are neater and more upscale.
This scene forms a sharp contrast with the dilapidated and backward outer city area, as if it had spanned two or three hundred years.
The beautiful scenery brightened Charlotte's eyes as she loved to see the scenery.
But as the carriage continued to move forward, she gradually lost interest.
Although the scenery in the eastern urban area is beautiful, the similarity is too high.
The sculptures all depict religion, the fountains are decorated with images of the Holy Court, and even the green plants in the garden are trimmed in the rigid style of the church.
Heavy, depressing, and confining.
This feeling cannot be experienced unless you feel it carefully.
But Charlotte was always sharp.
"So... divine authority is the most powerful and transcendent force in the world."
The girl sighed as she took a sip of milk.
As the carriage moved along, more and more similar convoys appeared on both sides of the street.
The sides of each carriage were also decorated with various emblems, and they were moving in the same direction as Charlotte and the others, obviously they were also nobles attending the banquet.
Charlotte noticed that when her carriage passed by, almost all the teams would slow down and get out of the way.
Sometimes, someone would draw aside the curtains at the carriage windows and take off their hats in greeting as Charlotte's carriage approached.
Nobles of the same level are also divided into different levels.
Even though there is a trend of decline and the risk of extinction, the wealthy Castel is definitely one of the most powerful noble families in the Principality of Bolder!
Perhaps even “one of” can be removed.
After driving for another fifteen minutes, Charlotte finally saw the Duke's Palace, a majestic palace.
The history of the Duke of Bold's Palace is quite long, dating back to the founding of the Yunet Empire 1,100 years ago.
At that time, it was a fortress used to defend against subhuman tribes and also a towering castle.
But now, the subhuman tribes on the Crescent Peninsula have long been completely wiped out, and the once active subhumans have all become slaves or migrated to distant places. The historical mission of Bold Castle has long been completed.
So, about seven hundred years ago, the head of the Bold family at that time ordered the castle to be converted into a palace with fortress functions, and built a city with it as the center.
The city of Boulder also developed from that time and was expanded several times.
At this moment, no less than a hundred carriages from various families were parked in the garden square in front of the Duke's Palace.
The Duke's servant, dressed in dark blue butler's uniform, was standing at the door, ushering in nobles of all kinds into the palace.
When the carriage of the Castel family drove over, it attracted almost everyone's attention. No matter they were nobles, servants or citizens watching the excitement from afar, their eyes were full of curiosity.
"Master, we are here."
The car door opened and Quasimodo's old and respectful voice came over.
Charlotte nodded slightly.
"Help me out of the car."
She took a deep breath, stretched out her tender little white hand, and placed it in the palm of her personal maid. Then, with the maid's respectful and careful support, she gracefully walked down from the carriage with the ladder placed there.
The bright sunshine shone on her body, and the breeze blew her beautiful golden hair slightly.
Holy and gorgeous dress, divine face, elegant and noble manners...
At this moment, the entire garden square was quiet.
