After the slightly "sensitive" topic, Dolores continued the conversation quite naturally, and asked Jenkins if he liked foie gras when he got the menu. It's not that Jenkins doesn't understand the heart of the young princess, it's just that he doesn't know how to respond.
"Meow~"
The cat, lying on the soft purple cushion specially prepared for it, despises Jenkins for doing this.
The offshore Nolan is rich in fishery resources, and the residents living there can eat seafood on the table all year round. However, Loen in the northern country does not have special agricultural products due to the climate, but because it is the capital of the kingdom, delicacies and spices from all over the continent will be brought together, so the chefs here can also turn decay into magic, combine expensive and inexpensive The ingredients are made into various delicacies and presented to distinguished guests.
Not to mention Jenkins' opinion, at least the cat who is quite picky about food is very satisfied with today's dinner. Before following Jenkins, although the cat made food by itself, it was quite exquisite; after following Jenkins, it often aroused Jenkins' suspicion with its picky appetite.
Even the chocolate is satisfied, so Jenkins is naturally very satisfied. In fact, he always thought that such a high-end restaurant would not be enough to eat and could only be used as a social occasion, but now he realized that it was just a lack of money, status, and face.
Dinner started at 5:30, when the sun was just setting in the sky. It was completely dark outside when Jenkins felt that he had eaten enough and started to stop the cat from eating.
Before he knew it, all the street lights on the street bloomed, and the night view of Loen City in the northern country was displayed in front of him.
"What's the name of tonight's show?"
Jenkins asked suddenly. In fact, Dolores mentioned it once in the afternoon, but he was so focused on playing with his fingers with chocolate that he didn't remember it.
"Crime of a Liar"
The princess replied, smiling and looking at the candle in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.
So far, nothing happened all day today, not even anything Jenkins expected. This can be regarded as the most incredible day since he came to this world.
But this inconceivability didn't last long. When the carriage carrying a group of people stopped at the entrance of the theater, and Jenkins was still communicating with Dolores about his detective opera, there were approaching footsteps outside the carriage.
After a while, there was a knock on the car window, and the guard handed in a business card sprinkled with gold powder. Julia took a look after taking it, and hesitated to hand it to Dolores immediately.
So Jenkins reached out and took it in his hand, and after a glance, he almost understood what was going on:
"The duke's son? Anyone can print a business card now?"
Jenkins has yet to have a business card.
"Young people who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth always like to do this kind of showy thing."
Dolores commented, not wanting to touch the card at all, and then said:
"It probably means that I came here alone, and guessed that there is a chance to invite me to the theater. Mr. William, I wonder if it is an honor to invite you as my male companion to protect me from these annoying flies?"
She asked in a calm and generous manner, without any other meaning at all.
"certainly."
Jenkins nodded with a smile.
This made Julia almost think that the duke's son who handed over his business card was someone invited by Her Royal Highness, waiting to trigger this "knight novel"-like plot at the entrance of the theater.
But she didn't dare to say anything more, whether it was arranged in advance or not, Julia could think that anyone who ruined the night would be punished by Dolores' wrath.
The rejected duke's son didn't have the cheek to come up to talk again. After getting out of the carriage, Jenkins only saw his carriage.
But there are a lot of carriages nearby, and this is the capital of Hampawo, and there are countless high-ranking nobles. Even the Duke's second son was not a big figure, so Jenkins didn't take him seriously.
It was only after getting off the carriage that I realized how popular this theater was. The crowds of people looked as lively as a vegetable market. Of course, no one would go shopping in formal suits and dresses, and no one would go to the market in a carriage to buy vegetables.
"I noticed a lot of people were looking at me."
He whispered to Julia, who pursed her lips and did not answer.
Jenkins actually knew very well in his heart that, as Dolores was sensitive, any man who appeared beside her and showed intimacy was worthy of attention. And at this time, he didn't use a false identity to cover himself up, and he appeared in public with the face of Jenkins Williams. Presumably, news about him would spread throughout Loen tomorrow morning.
"But what's wrong with that?"
This is the "instruction" of the old man, and he almost explicitly asked Jenkins to do this this morning. Although Jenkins didn't quite understand what the church wanted to do, he actually didn't mind using Jenkins Williams' face to act in Loen.
Sooner or later, he would introduce Alexia to his friends, so it was very necessary for the Church and others to know about his relationship with Ruen.
He is just curious. The church, which has never interfered with the secular government, is based on what reason to let a holy son like him appear beside the princess of the kingdom. Now the political situation in the mainland is extremely severe. Small-scale substantive frictions have already occurred between the Kingdom of Fidiktri and the Kingdom of Cheslan on the border, and a large-scale war is imminent.
At such a sensitive moment, it stands to reason that the church should not do this. But since it was what the old man meant, there must be a reason for it. He planned to ask Alexia tomorrow, and the short lady would definitely be able to figure it out.
After getting out of the car, he saw a little girl selling flowers with a basket not far away. Jenkins whispered to Julia, then left the carriage and walked over.
Selling flowers in this kind of place is undoubtedly a wise choice, as long as the clothes on your body are decent, the servants of the audience and the guards of the theater will not mind a girl selling flowers here.
Her voice was very good, and when she saw Jenkins coming, she smiled sweetly at him.
Because of the season, there are not many types of flowers she sells, and because it is night, most of them are showing signs of wilting. Jenkins chose three red roses in the end, and generously did not bargain.
He had no choice, the flower girl had only roses.
"Here, for you, Dolores."
After returning, he gave the flowers to Dolores, who couldn't hold back the smile on her face. Instead of asking Julia to hold it for her, she held the flower herself.
