During the wedding.
Meopal took off the sapphire ring he wore on the middle finger of his left hand, lifted Angela's right hand, and carefully put it on the ring finger of her right hand. He then said: "Friend, with this ring, you will understand that I belong to you, my eternal love."
Angela similarly took off the sapphire ring on the middle finger of her right hand and put it on the ring finger of Meopal's left hand. She then said the same line: "Friend, with this ring, you will understand that I belong to you, my eternal love."
The feudal lord witnessed the exchange of rings.
The wedding was thus completed. Legally speaking, Meopal Longtaro and Angela Sapphire had become a legal husband and wife, protected by the kingdom's laws.
Immediately.
The bride and groom were sent to change clothes. The best man and bridesmaids were finally relieved. They could take off their outlandish formal attire and change into more comfortable clothes.
Liszt rushed to the bathroom almost immediately and took a bath.
He then carefully changed into a suit of frac Abbier. Frac Abbier was actually very cumbersome, and wearing it on a hot day was still torturous. But for formal banquets, aristocrats had to wear frac Abbier, which was at least much more comfortable than the formal attire.
After changing his clothes, he faced the crystal mirror, carefully tidied up the details, and had a servant comb his hair until not a single strand of hair was out of place.
Only then did he leave the room to participate in the luncheon.
He had a height of 1.88 meters, a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, an extraordinary temperament, and a pair of sapphire blue eyes that were as deep as the starry sky.
Wherever Liszt went, there was a delightful scenery.
He had already noticed that several daring aristocratic ladies had offered him autumn spinach. Of course, he did not respond, not even a smile. There was already a bridesmaid eyeing him covetously, and he did not want to provoke any more trouble. Indulgence would not bring him too much happiness.
The banquet did not use a fixed dining format, nor did it have such a large space. Instead, it used a buffet format.
Only grand dukes, marquises, counts, and greater aristocrats were qualified to sit in the dining hall on the second floor of the castle and enjoy an undisturbed lunch.
Other lesser aristocrats or aristocratic heirs were shuttling back and forth around the buffet on the first floor of the hall and the garden.
Liszt, who was already hungry, naturally did not stand on ceremony. He picked up his plate and casually picked out the food. Since most of the food in this world was not to his liking, he usually only chose nutritious food when attending banquets. Cultivating Qi required a lot of nutrients.
He picked a few pieces of World of Warcraft meat and placed them on his plate.
A servant carrying a glass of wine walked over with a smile, asking Liszt if he wanted a glass of wine. However, Liszt just shook his head. He would never miss an opportunity to avoid drinking.
"Hi."
A woman greeted him from behind.
Liszt sighed in his heart. Sure enough, being handsome was troublesome. There would always be moths flying at him. He turned and saw a woman of about thirty years of age, holding a glass of golden champagne. He had a dignified bearing and a noble temperament, but there was an unconcealable flirtatiousness in his eyes.
"You are Liszt, right? The cousin of the bridegroom. I saw you when you were the best man. You were very cute." The woman said in a mature tone, "My name is Martha Yianpeng. My husband was the count of Cape Island before he died."
"Hello, Lady Martha."
"I heard from a few bridesmaids that you played a very moving piano piece 'Accompanying You' at Matsutake Castle. You don't know, but I am very obsessed with the piano, so I couldn't help but take the liberty to get to know you. I can't miss a talented aristocratic pianist like you. "
Liszt replied, "I only play the piano as a hobby."
"But your talent is outstanding, as dazzling as your temperament. When I walked into the long corridor of the buffet, I saw and recognized you at first sight."
There must be a problem with such compliments.
Although Liszt liked to hear others praise him, he did not let down his guard, "I am just one of many young aristocrats."
"But you are the most special one, for me." Martha said casually, "My husband left me only with my three-year-old son. I live alone in Daisy Castle, and the piano is like a spiritual companion to me … I wonder if I can invite you to be my private piano teacher, just for a while."
"I'm afraid I don't have time."
"There is an elf in my castle. It is as obsessed with the piano as I am. Maybe you should come to the castle and take it away, so that it can hear your beautiful piano sound every day."
Liszt quickly understood the subtext of this sentence. Lady Martha wanted to use an elf to keep him for a while.
If it was any young viscount, he would not be able to resist this temptation.
Liszt was also excited. Even with the help of the smoke mission, he still only had two elves, and each elf was a treasure that could be passed down. He just needed to be kept for a while, and he didn't need to pay too much in exchange for an elf. Such a reward was almost irresistible.
He looked at Martha Yipeng seriously. She was about 30 years old, not too old. Although her makeup was a bit thick, she had a good foundation. She was at least 7 out of 10.
Her husband passed away, leaving only her three-year-old son.
The castle belonged to her alone, without the constraints of family members. This was simply the ideal lover standard for most of the fallen aristocrats. He could rely on Lady Martha's financial and material resources to help him obtain the aristocratic foundation and return to the daily life of the upper class.
However, Liszt still refused, "I'm sorry, Lady Martha, I don't have time to teach piano."
Lady Martha was not annoyed. She just smiled and left a sentence, "The door of my castle is always open to you. As long as you are willing to be my private piano teacher, you can write to Daisy Castle at any time … I will personally welcome you and let you experience the wonderful life in Daisy Castle."
After that, she twisted her buttocks and turned away without hesitation.
Looking at Lady Martha's back, Liszt inexplicably felt a kind of vanity rise in him. "Piano and beauty, I can rely on my face and talent to live a luxurious life in the upper class … But I chose to stay in a remote, barren territory and farm day after day."
He constantly worked hard and relied on the help of the smoke mission to cultivate the elf Ella.
But as long as he played with a lady for a few months, he could easily get a elf. Thinking of this, he suddenly regretted it.
"I should have agreed!"
Before he could catch up and conclude the deal, there was a burst of cheers at the luncheon buffet. It turned out to be Meopal and Angela, who had changed into formal attire and came to attend the luncheon. The two held hands, each holding a glass of red wine, and accepted the blessings and toasts of the crowd.
Liszt remembered that he also needed to toast the newlyweds, so he picked up a glass of red wine from the servant's tray and joined the blessings.
"Cousin, Her Highness the Princess …"
