"Do you believe Big Mouth Peter now? After tasting it, the Earl is willing to buy the recipe for fifty gold coins. If the delicacy is sold, do you think it is worth ten silver coins for a small piece?"
"It's worth it!" Peter didn't argue anymore.
What kind of person is the Earl? He even likes to eat food and does not hesitate to buy the recipe. Who dares to say that such delicious food is not worth the price?
I'm afraid that even if Miss Stella did something like this, she wouldn't be as convincing as the Earl.
At this time, Stella also took the second portion of the cream cake.
Miss Stella, she looks extremely ladylike and looks elegant in every move she makes.
She was fair and slender, holding a silver spoon with her fingers to scoop out a little cream, then put it to her mouth and took a sip.
Under the gaze of everyone, Miss Stella's expression showed a hint of surprise for a moment.
"Sir Nalant, your cream cake is delicious. Thank you very much for this birthday gift!"
"Miss Stella! It's an honor to have me here!" Nalant was slightly surprised and didn't expect to hear the compliment with his own ears.
However, it is not surprising to think that no matter how noble Stella is, there is still a woman who naturally loves sweets.
"Lina!" Stella thanked her and called Lina again, "You and your servants will distribute the cream cakes to all the guests present!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Then, with the cooperation of Lina and Rose, the cake was delivered to their hands with the anticipation of all the guests.
Of course, there were so many people there that they could share the cake. The cream cake was not even the size of a fist.
However, not one of the nobles in the audience was disappointed, because after tasting this cream cake, everyone understood why the Earl was like this before, and reflected it.
"Oh! This cream cake is so delicious! Nasia, can you tell your brother that I am willing to be his wife? I will ask my father to prepare a lot of dowry!"
The person at the long table named Taffy, the aristocratic lady who finished the cream cake happily suddenly spoke without any clue.
"Taffy, you can't be like this. I also hope to become Sir Nalant. My wife, you are not allowed to bribe Nasia!"
"I also hope to become Sir Narante, and we, as wives, must compete fairly!"
"..." Boris just rolled his eyes and immediately turned into a large lemon essence.
It took more than ten minutes to taste this cream cake. From the happy expressions of all the guests, it could be seen that this cream cake brought them an unprecedented sense of happiness.
After the cream cake is finished, it means that it is almost time to enter the dance party.
But at this moment, everyone present encountered a problem.
Then there is Miss Stella, who will she dance the first dance with tonight?
Everyone originally thought that Billy's second son should be the most valuable gift given by everyone.
But after everyone ate the cake, they felt that the value of such a big cream cake was no worse than that of the silver gift box.
Regardless of whether one of them is asked to dance the first dance with Miss Stella, I'm afraid the other one will also be dissatisfied!
So everyone looked at Miss Stella and the Earl.
The Earl is also thinking about this birthday dinner at this time. Since the rules are based on the value of the gift, he can only follow this rule, otherwise it will easily damage the self-confidence of the other second sons.
Especially Billy's preparation and gift this time were considered thoughtful. Although he was a little partial to Nalant, he couldn't do it directly.
Stella, on the other hand, did not show any expression on the stage. Instead, she hoped that it would be better not to dance the best for the first dance today, or to dance directly with herself and her father.
Billy was looking at Nalant hatefully in the audience.
Among the few who ate the cream cake in this scene, they were still hostile to Nalant.
It was because of Nalant that he had close contact with Miss Stella. Opportunity became an uncertain factor.
"Who do you think is fair to let Stella dance the first dance?"
"I think it should be Sir Billy! Sir Billy, the gift is real, and Sir Narante, the gift has a price after all. Although this cream cake is delicious, it also has a price!"
"I don't agree with your Excellency. I think Narant should get this first dance. After all, he has the opportunity. The gift can be more thoughtful. And I am sure that the second son is probably the only one." Sir Narant, you have to prepare the gift yourself! After all, Andrew definitely doesn’t have any extra money to fund his life!”
There was no decision at the top for a moment, and the guests began to discuss in low voices.
"Haha! Why don't you let me and Miss Stella dance this first dance! How can they, the second sons of little vassals, be worthy of tulip flowers!"
At this moment, a hearty laugh came from the door of the hall.
And his loud tone immediately aroused disgust among the small nobles.
Everyone looked towards the entrance of the hall.
Only when they saw the speaker, the hostility in his eyes immediately dissipated.
"Hiss! There is actually a king and a second prince!"
"They are all here! What a great honor!"
"It's rare for two princes to attend birthday celebrations at the same time. This was rarely seen in other earl families in the past!"
"I have met the two princes!"
At this time, two handsome and elegant young men came from the door of the hall.
One of them was in his twenties and the other was in his early twenties.
They have the current king of the Agate Principality, the eldest son and the second son.
Many nobles who had seen the faces of the two princes stepped out of the way and respectfully offered their greetings.
"Bernard Honor Tulip has met two princes!" At this time, the earl, who was sitting on the edge of the high platform, also came down personally and gave a slight salute to the two princes and greeted them.
As for several other people attending the banquet, the Earl also came closer at this time and greeted them one after another.
"You don't need to be polite to the earls!" The two princes also bowed.
Although the earl greeted them with due aristocratic etiquette.
But except for the current king, no one dared to face the earls, nor did the two princes who accepted the salute and greetings calmly.
"I'm so sorry, Count Bernard, that we're late this time!"
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince, you don't have to be like this. The royal family is more than a week away from Tulip. The only ones who can come here are you and the second prince. It's an honor!" Bernard said in a very polite tone.
"Two princes, please go and take a seat in front!"
Immediately, the earl led the two princes towards the front of the high platform.
"Beautiful Miss Stella, on behalf of the Glory Agate family, I wish you a happy birthday!"
The eldest prince followed Bernard to the high platform and politely offered his blessing to Stella and also gave her a gift.
As the gift was opened, there was a not particularly expensive, exquisite jewelry necklace.
This can be considered as a gift between big nobles. If there are unspoken rules, it is usually given in the name of the family. The value of the birthday gift is not too high, so as to avoid robbing young people of their first dance opportunity.
So this jewelry necklace looks beautiful, but its value is estimated to be only twenty or thirty gold coins. It can only be given as a gift.
"Thank you, Your Highness, the eldest prince!" Stella politely saluted and thanked her after receiving the gift.
Immediately, the eldest prince continued to follow Bernard to the side and away from the seat.
However, the second prince did not follow the eldest prince away but stayed on the spot.
Everyone who is familiar with the second prince knows that the previous voice was slightly arrogant, and the words were exactly what the second prince said!
