It is very challenging to organize a banquet that requires inviting many nobles in two days.
Normally, a banquet of this size would take at least half a month to prepare. For example, the preparation time for a banquet held by the kingdom to entertain the princess of the empire takes nearly half a year! On the one hand, there are indeed many things that need to be prepared. On the other hand, the long preparation time is also to highlight the importance to the guests.
This is a common thing among nobles.
Fortunately, although this engagement banquet was hosted by Liliana, neither of the two protagonists had noble titles, and the princess was leaving soon, so the hasty preparation this time would not be criticized. On the contrary, many people still hope to receive invitations due to the many aspects and interests involved.
After the first beautifully decorated invitation was sent to the court, a wave of excitement arose among the upper class of the royal capital. With their own thoughts, all parties are waiting for the day when the engagement banquet begins.
This morning, not long after the sun came out, although the temperature did not increase much, I could still feel the warmth.
"Ah - um -"
With hazy eyes open, Miku staggered as he walked.
"Cheer up. On such an important day, you can't make mistakes in front of all the princes and nobles. You are the protagonist today!" Neto, wearing a light golden dress, walked next to Miku and patted her.
"Huh? Well, I'm trying to wake myself up." Miku clenched two small fists to show his determination, but he still looked weak.
"Try harder, ah!" Yinliu looked more anxious than Miku.
In the past two days, everyone has put a lot of thought into it. On the night when the engagement party was scheduled to be held, Mei Ke and others stayed up late to design the invitation letter and stepped up production the next morning. Every time a letter is completed, it is sent in order according to the list given by Hutto.
Due to various reasons, mainly time constraints, the invitations could only be made by Mei Ke and others on an urgent basis. In order to complete the task on time and within the amount, everyone in the theater troupe is very tired. Today is the day when the engagement party is about to officially start. They look excited again, without the fatigue that comes with "working overtime" for two days.
Neku's aggressive tone is actually a manifestation of her excited state of mind.
"Yinliu, it's okay, nothing will go wrong." An spoke in a lazy tone, and her eyes were half closed as soon as she finished speaking, "Well——"
"Why are you yawning too?! In order to save your energy, I haven't even asked you to participate in manual work these two days!"
Two days ago, An and Miku thought about sharing part of the task of making invitations with everyone, but they were rejected by their companions. Miku's original words were to ask them to think carefully about how to behave and speak at the engagement ceremony.
Although the words and deeds at the engagement ceremony were indeed important, An strongly suspected that the reason why they were not allowed to participate was actually because Mei Ke and the others did not want to be disturbed.
One time he and Miku went to the kitchen to cook. When passing by the scene, they heard that Miku had even arranged things for them after marriage and childbirth!
Thinking of this, An's face felt a little hot.
"You guys...didn't you do something shameful last night?" Yinliu obviously misunderstood the reason for An's demeanor. She covered her cheeks with both hands, her eyes exposed between her fingers, and walked step by step. He said while stepping back.
"cough--"
"Hey! What are you talking about?!"
Yinru's words almost choked An to death, and Miku immediately made a big blush. The previous sleepiness was completely gone by the two of them at this moment.
They acted as if they were confirming Neru's guess!
"Wow, is it true?" Yinliu himself felt a little unbelievable.
The members of the theater troupe who saw the relationship between An and Miku would never doubt it, but given the personalities of these two people, it is a bit puzzling to say that they are so anxious to take the final step.
"Young man." Mei was the first to regain her composure. She raised her hand and poked An's chest and said, "Since you are anxious, you should take responsibility now. I will find a day for you two to get married later. If you kid dares to let Miku down in the future, I will be the first to spare you!"
An opened her mouth.
He wanted to say that nothing happened last night. Although his sleepiness came out of nowhere today, it had been like this all this time, and he didn't find it too strange. Everyone's misunderstanding was only formed by the superposition of coincidences.
But his sister's words were so serious that he didn't know how to refute.
Although there are no prerequisites for it to happen, what she said is right!
...No, no, I should explain it clearly here first!
But if I explain, will Miku misunderstand again...
The reflection of the intertwining of several thoughts was that An stood there in a daze, as if confirming Meiko's words.
In the end, Miku suppressed his shyness and said: "No, no! Nothing like that happened. I just didn't sleep well last night and kept dreaming. I was always in my room! Sister Liuge, please tell me. Well! Didn’t we go to the bathroom together? "
Liu Ge squinted his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Ah, I forgot. It seems that there is such a thing."
"Sister Liuge!"
Liuge's unclear words made Miku very embarrassed and angry.
But this misunderstanding is resolved.
An and Miku were relieved, but one person was dissatisfied.
Mei Ke was speechless: "Tsk, there is no future!"
She looked at her biological brother with disdain.
An couldn't hold it back and shouted angrily: "What on earth are you thinking!!"
"Can't I hold the baby earlier if I want?"
"Where are you from, old lady? If you want to hold a baby, give birth to it yourself!"
An's words didn't hurt Meiko, but they made Hairen blush.
"Won't you feel a little bit heartbroken when you catch your little brother?" An poked at his chest, hoping to arouse Mei Ke's inner guilt.
"Not only is it not heartbreaking, but if you really have a child with Miku, it will be a double joy for me!" Miku said confidently with her hands on her hips.
An was so angry that she forgot everything she wanted to say.
After a long while, he said in a fit of laughter and tears: "They were all words of human concern, but why did their taste change when you said them?"
"Uh-huh!" Mei Ke was proud of An's sarcastic sigh.
An's mouth was open and she could no longer speak. Her face turned red. She didn't know whether it was because of anger or what happened.
"That's enough, don't talk anymore..." Miku squatted on the ground, pushed her long emerald hair forward to cover her face, and buried it in her knees. Her red ears proved her current mood, "Say any more. I won’t be able to see anyone.”
Seeing this, An quickly went over to help her up and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, just leave her alone."
Miku buried his face in An's chest, and An could feel the warmth through his clothes. She raised her red face and opened her lips, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
An immediately noticed what she wanted to say, and lowered her head, burying her face in Miku's hair: "If you can't say it, don't say it. Why are you making trouble at this time?"
"Hmm!" Miku crawled into his arms a few more times.
"Um?"
Mei Ke seemed to realize something, and walked to the two of them on tiptoes, turning around twice without them noticing.
After confirming, she raised the corners of her mouth exaggeratedly, then gently leaned into Miku's ear and said loudly: "You want to say that you are willing to fulfill my expectations, right?!"
"ah!!"
As if he had seen a ghost, Miku broke away from An's arms and ran out of the door.
An quickly chased after him: "Miku, wait, the carriage to pick us up will be here soon, don't run around!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Mei Ke stayed where she was, smiling extremely happily.
