Chapter 7 ‘Nalian Lilith’ and ‘The Hunt Begins’ (Please Read)

After a full meal, Chen Mu took a sip of his after-dinner wine.

Chen Mu thought it was just a simple banquet, but he still underestimated the luxury of the kingdom’s nobles.

There were a variety of dishes, some of which Chen Mu had never heard of, let alone seen.

There were even some dishes with complex food ingredients and fantasy colors at the banquet.

For example, a roasted swan, the chef re-glued clean feathers, and the feathers were decorated with silver and gold.

Chen Mu also saw a peacock that looked like it was alive being served on the table.

The roasted peacock was still covered with beautiful feathers, supported by a stick, and stood upright on a plate.

The maid of the Lilith family put a bunch of wheat straw soaked in alcohol in the peacock's mouth, and then lit it, creating a fantasy scene of a peacock breathing fire when it was served on the table.

Another dish was to make two pigeons out of one pigeon.

The chef peeled the pigeon skin and wrapped it with a mixture of cheese, eggs, spices and raisins.

Then the pigeon skin was sewn together and the "new" pigeon was cooked in boiling water.

Next, the chef would roast the real pigeon that had been skinned.

And halfway through the roasting, it was coated with a mixture of bread crumbs and then glazed with egg liquid.

In this way, one pigeon was made into two dishes.

It must be said that the luxury and power of the kingdom's nobles were fully reflected in this banquet.

Finally, when leaving, they tasted some light snacks, cakes, candied fruits and nuts, which was the so-called "departure dessert".

In other words, the banquet started with dessert and ended with dessert.

After the banquet, Chen Mu and Meili walked out of the banquet hall together.

They also had to attend the dance party in the evening.

There was no way, this was inevitable for nobles to socialize, even if Chen Mu was not very interested in these.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Chen Mu always feels that Nailian Lilith, the daughter of the Marquis of Dawn, seemed to look at him several times at the banquet.

The Dawn Family prepared specific rooms for all the nobles who participated in the hunting day.

Chen Mu found the room with the Golden Lion Family's emblem and flag hanging and walked in.

Chen Mu didn't have too many requirements for living, but this did not affect the extreme luxury of these rooms.

He took a book "History of Kingdom Architecture" from the bookshelf.

Chen Mu sat on a wooden chair and gently turned the pages.

William and Chen Mu were not in the same room, and the guards also had their own rooms.

William's room was next to Chen Mu.

The arrangement of the guards' room was also to ensure that the guards could react in time in case of an accident. The Lilith family had considered everything carefully.

Time passed, and it was night in a blink of an eye.

More Castle has a ballroom dedicated to holding balls. When Chen Mu arrived, there were already quite a few people here.

Merry was already holding a glass of wine and chatting with a girl. Judging from the expressions of the two, the chat seemed to be going well.

Seeing Chen Mu coming in, Merry hurriedly introduced the girl to Chen Mu.

"Villi, this is Fenlan Kosiri, the daughter of Viscount Silver Flower. Fenlan, this is Willy Weasley, the son of Earl of Golden Lion."

Hearing Merry introduce each other, Chen Mu and Fenlan smiled and greeted each other.

The etiquette in the ball is not complicated, and exchanging names is just the norm.

The ball has not started yet, so the three of them chatted quietly.

After a while, two more people joined in, forming a small social circle.

This is why Earl of Golden Lion wanted Chen Mu to participate in this hunting day.

In the eyes of Earl of Golden Lion, making friends with nobles from other families is helpful to Chen Mu.

After a while, the ball began, and the musicians of the Dawn Family entered the ballroom to play beautiful music.

The musicians of the Dawn Family are all formal court musicians.

Some of the musicians have even played in the palace, so the music they play is naturally pleasant and moving.

Meili also invited Fenlan to the dance floor, while Chen Mu stood there with a glass of sweet wine.

Chen Mu was undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching people at the ball.

So naturally, there were many girls who looked at Chen Mu frequently, as if they wanted to come forward and invite him to dance, but they lacked confidence.

"Sir Weili, can you dance with me?"

The gentle voice that suddenly came from behind made Chen Mu subconsciously turn his head to look.

The next second, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The one who made the invitation was Nai Lian Lilith, the daughter of the Marquis of Dawn.

At this time, she was completely different from the majestic her at the banquet. At this time, Nai Lian Lilith was wearing a flowing silk dress, and her figure was tall and slender.

The long silver hair was delicately braided into a bun, and her red lips were slightly raised with a smile.

A pair of bright eyes looked at Chen Mu, exuding unconcealed confidence and nobility.

Her snow-white skin set off her deep pupils and slender nose, making her look like a perfect sculpture.

Chen Mu naturally had no reason to refuse.

As the son of the earl, although Chen Mu could not be said to be proficient in ballroom dancing, he was not unfamiliar with it.

Naturally, many people in the dance hall noticed this scene.

Seeing Chen Mu agree, the men's eyes inevitably showed more envy and jealousy.

The eyes of the noble girls showed a trace of disappointment and regret.

If they had known that Chen Mu would agree so easily, they would have also joined.

In the dance floor, Chen Mu and Nailian were dancing ballroom dance.

Chen Mu could feel that the girl in front of him didn't seem to be proficient in ballroom dance.

So the two of them were very slow, but surprisingly consistent.

During the dance, Chen Mu maintained a suitable distance and posture, and was not too close.

Politeness and gentlemanly demeanor were fully reflected in him.

His words and deeds also made Nailian Lilith feel sincere and respected.

Unlike the people Nailian had met before, she could feel that Chen Mu's eyes were clean, without a trace of impurities.

In fact, when Nailian saw Chen Mu for the first time at the banquet, she had a good impression of Chen Mu in her heart.

Now it can be said that the impression is better, and she even has the idea of ​​informing her father and marrying Chen Mu's family.

But after thinking about it, Nailian still kept this idea in her heart. After all, including the banquet, this was only the second time they met.

As the most beloved youngest daughter of the Marquis of Dawn, Nailian even has the right to choose marriage that other noble girls have never had.

From here, we can see how much the Marquis of Dawn dotes on her.

In the eyes of some nobles, daughters are just bargaining chips for marriage.

But in the Dawn Family, the Marquis of Dawn does not need to sell his daughter to improve his power and status.

So he completely gave the right to choose love to Nailian.

This is unimaginable in the eyes of many nobles.

After a social dance, Nailian blushed.

You know, Nailian has hosted three hunting days in a row, but it is her first time to invite others to dance.

She usually just showed up at the dance and never really danced on the dance floor, so she looked a little unfamiliar.

Her face was blushing, partly because of shyness, and partly because she was a little flustered at the end of the dance, and felt embarrassed in front of Chen Mu.

"Princess Nailian, your dance is very beautiful. This time dancing with you will definitely make me unforgettable forever."

Chen Mu saw the embarrassment of the girl and spoke gently, with a clear and bright look in his eyes.

In the Kingdom of Winter, the title of princess is not exclusive to the princess. The daughters of the marquis and the earl can also be called princesses.

Nailian looked up at Chen Mu.

What she saw was Chen Mu's bright eyes. At that moment, a throbbing rose in her heart.

After the ball, Chen Mu returned to the exclusive room prepared by the Dawn Family.

It seems that Chen Mu's work and rest schedule is very regular, and he does not have the habit of staying up late in his previous life.

The next day, Chen Mu got up early, washed up and dressed in formal clothes. Today is the day when hunting begins.

Starting today, the nobles can go into the mountains for hunting.

You can enter alone, or you can form a small group to enter together.

The Dawn Family has prepared a variety of armor and bows and arrows, which are all available to the nobles.

Merry invited Chen Mu to form a team, but Chen Mu refused after consideration.

After all, because of the simulation, he was not completely confident in Merry.

Chen Mu chose a set of light armor and a bow and arrow.

The guards will follow on hunting days, but they will follow in secret.

They will only appear when life is in danger, and will not help with hunting.

After all, if the guards have to do hunting, then this hunting day is meaningless.

But hunting is not particularly dangerous.

The Sun Mountain has been cleaned up by the knights of the Dawn Family, and there are no particularly dangerous beasts. After all, this is hunting, not suicide.

Before entering the mountain, Chen Mu looked around and did not find William. It would be too easy for the knight to follow him without being discovered.

Lifting the longbow in his hand, Chen Mu stepped into the Sun Mountain.
