Betty followed the waiter all the way to the top of the seventh floor.
She spent a long time putting on makeup with her mother before going out today. She wore light makeup on her face, which fully revealed the innocence of a 15-year-old girl.
Betty, wearing a light yellow aristocratic ruffled dress, walked into the lobby on the seventh floor and immediately attracted some aristocratic children at the door.
Someone recognized this young lady from the Viscount Karl family and smiled and greeted her, and Betty returned the greeting one by one.
The unreliable image in front of my parents has completely changed into a dignified, knowledgeable and sensible person, and there is no sense of dissonance.
"Betty!"
A noble lady saw Betty and immediately waved to her.
Betty Seeing the figure of his friend, he was still a little uneasy about facing a strange environment, but it completely dissipated at this time, and he quickly picked up his skirt and came to his own small circle.
"Didn't you say you didn't come because something happened? Why did you show up again?" A noble lady next to you asked in confusion.
"The matter was settled relatively quickly, so I came here to see the excitement." Betty lied without making a draft, and said with a smile without changing his face.
In fact, she just asked her parents to come with her just to save money.
Of course she couldn't tell the truth, that would be too shameless.
The interactions between aristocratic circles are always filled with all kinds of lies, and Betty, who is only 15 years old, has long been used to it.
As for why she dared to come up alone now, it was naturally because she had her father's personal consent. Even if she had any expenses after coming up, she could directly throw them into the account of the Karl Viscount family.
"What are you talking about?" Betty asked casually, while hiding the Elemental Cards on his hand into his cuff.
This deck of cards was given free of charge by the hot pot restaurant. If it were seen, her lie would be exposed directly, so the secret cannot be revealed.
"Well, we are talking about this." A noble lady pointed to the scattered cards on the table, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "An interesting gadget."
"This is?" Betty asked pretending to be confused, but in fact, after seeing the packaging box placed aside on the table, she already knew that this should be the Elemental Cards in her sleeve.
"Princess Mia calls it Elemental Cards. It seems to be very popular in the circle of ladies recently."
Betty looked curious and asked a few questions in a row, naturally integrating into the atmosphere of this circle.
Because Karl Viscount and his family had eaten earlier, the time is now, just approaching noon.
These noble children in the hall came here early, of course, not just for a simple hot pot meal.
More importantly, it is to support Princess Mia, and to imagine the scene of being favored by the princess.
After playing a few games of the noble version Elemental Cards, Betty gradually felt the unique charm of this game.
When she was free, she turned around and looked around, and found that many nobles were playing such cards.
Some of the gamblers have money bags and Gold Depository bills on the table. When excited, they even call out the magic name on the card.
Especially some of the younger aristocratic boys, who were the most playful when they were thirteen or fourteen years old, quickly became obsessed with this kind of game.
The time came to noon, and Mia, dressed in a pure white dress, walked in from outside the hall. Her long, light blond hair was tied up high, making her look much more mature.
Behind her were two lines of waiters.
As soon as these waiters entered the hall, they were immediately assigned to their respective positions in pairs, with corresponding waiters standing at each table.
Mia smiled and nodded to the nobles along the way.
Everyone in the hall stood up from their seats one after another. It wasn't until Mia sat down at the front table that everyone sat back down.
"Princess Mia is so beautiful." Betty couldn't help but sigh in envy, "And her temperament is nothing to mention. She has a calm, generous and gentle personality. I don't know which man will take advantage of her."
If Ron heard this comment, a big question mark would definitely appear on his forehead.
But this is the consensus among the aristocratic circles.
The host came to the stage, thanked the guests present, popularized the knowledge about hot pot Barbecue Shop, and gave VIP cards to the guests present. After stirring up the atmosphere, he invited Princess Mia to come on stage to say a few words.
Mia stood on the stage generously, facing the eyes of hundreds of people, without feeling timid at all, with a gentle and confident smile on his face:
"Thank you all for coming today."
"At the end of October, I went to Chaos City and participated in the sacrificial ceremony of Church of the Goddess of Harvest Hall."
"There, I discovered two delicacies: hot pot and barbecue. I was very surprised at that time."
"After getting to know each other for a while, I decided to bring these two delicacies to Imperial Capital, hoping that more people can taste their deliciousness."
"After returning to Imperial Capital, I specially invited my father to taste it, and he praised it. This made me very happy and felt that I had done something right."
"Today is the first day of the opening of hotpot Barbecue Shop. Thank you again for coming. I hope you enjoy your meal."
With warm applause, Mia returned to his seat.
The waiter pushed in small carts filled with various foods.
Soon, everyone was feasting and their taste buds were conquered by the hot pot and barbecue.
Even Betty, who was already full before, couldn't help but eat some more.
After having their fill of wine and food, neither Mia nor the guests present were in a hurry to leave.
Everyone was chatting with each other while holding wine glasses, while Mia was moving around in circles, dealing with every noble kid who came to support them.
In the meantime, she didn't forget to advertise for Elemental Cards, and went out to play a few games with a few aristocratic children in person. After losing, she praised the other party with a smile on how good they were.
This made those aristocratic children so excited that they wanted to kneel down on one knee immediately.
And Elemental Cards also left a deep impression on everyone.
It was not until two or three o'clock in the afternoon that the guests began to say goodbye and disperse.
Mia followed Irene back to the lounge on the top floor with a tired look on his face. His previous dignified and calm disguise disappeared in an instant, and he screamed "ahhhhh" and buried his head into Irene's chest and rubbed it.
"Irene~I'm so exhausted~Please give me a hug~"
Irene's chest was heaving due to the squeeze, and his face was helpless and a little disgusted. "Stop it... ah! Don't squeeze so hard! It's going to twist!"
"Hey hehe...Irene You are so soft~so comfortable~"
"Tsk, don't force me to fight back. Why don't you let go? I'll do it."
"Ah! No! Hahaha, it's so itchy~"
"Okay, don't you still have to check the situation in the store today? It's not the time to be lazy yet."
"I know~"
Street Diary: I originally thought that the hot pot restaurant only needed one chapter, but it ended up taking two chapters. I finally understood why many books like to start from the perspective of small characters. If I hadn't already collected it and written it, I guess I could have written it a little more... Of course, I'm not just talking about the word count, at least the paragraph about Elf Race is about fire. The content of the Guodian is indispensable to connect the previous and the following. The difference is just whether to write it in detail or to write it in abbreviation... Considering that Ron will come into contact with Imperial Capital and Elf Race in the future, I deliberately wrote this part in a little detail, in addition to achieving continuity and continuity in the plot. The purpose of advancement is also to introduce several supporting characters that can be used later... If the appearances of supporting characters can be echoed back and forth, it can reduce a lot of stiffness... For example, the appearance of Nora in the early stage is like this. If it appears, the protagonist will be included in Nora The store will seem very abrupt, and you won't feel this way after it appears a few times, including the subsequent appearances of Mia and Yuna... ah haha... I just wrote so much... don't think I'm long-winded...
