The Sin of Ludwigs

The moment I saw Earl Ian, I almost wanted to step back and go out to see if I was in the wrong place.

The place where I live is the suite that Earl Elvis ordered Ms. Judy to arrange for me—a suite means that it has a living room, a reception room, a dressing room and other supporting facilities, and the role of the living room goes without saying. In addition to meeting guests, the reception room can also be used as a small dining room; in addition to changing clothes and makeup, the dressing room can also be used for prayers—in short, if guests are not invited, the suite is the owner’s In a private domain, the people inside can stay in it without going out, but they will not lack anything.

——I'm pretty sure I never invited Earl Ian. Taking a step back, even if I invited, it shouldn't be at this time. Breakfast is the least important meal for nobles, and you just need to eat something casually That's right, the ladies and wives of the nobles even dismissed it with a cup of coffee with cream, and the men should also eat it in their own rooms under common sense.

"Ah, the newlyweds are finally willing to come out!"

After hearing the sound of us coming, Earl Ian turned his head. He was wearing home clothes similar to mine, but embroidered with very fancy patterns. Maybe because he hated the heat, he opened his collar. open.

He looked at Count Elvis playfully.

"You seem to have had a good evening. It seems that although the gifts you received are different from what you thought, they are all the same to please you. I am really very happy."

I stopped when I saw Earl Ian, but Earl Elvis put his arms around my waist with a gentle force that I could not refuse, and led me to the seat, and then he sat down next to me .

"Why are you here?"

"Your words really make me sad." Earl Ian, who was sitting across from us, studied my every expression with eyes like studying insects with a magnifying glass, and carefully looked at me from head to toe. At the same time, He said in a playful tone: "My dear brother, I have spent a lot of thought on celebrating your acquisition of a beloved. You see, I ordered them to hang up those decorations overnight, But your attitude really hurts me, and you don't even notice."

It was only then that I noticed that the walls, pillars and doors of the small reception room were covered with golden ribbons, white star-shaped tassels and mandarin flowers that were used to celebrate the wedding, combined with the words of Earl Ian and the way he looked at me , I just felt that my face was burning hot, and I wanted to find a seam in the ground to get in.

Earl Elvis only glanced at those decorations with deep meanings before looking away.

"No need for that."

"Ha, my brother, you still don't understand a woman's mind." Ian glanced at me, "It takes courage, wisdom and taste to please your lover, although you have done a very good job of courage and decisiveness in some aspects , but there are some things you still need to learn. For example, if you wear this kind of British clothes that 50-year-old old-fashioned people wear all day long, it will make your loved ones think that you have no sense of grooming. Tasteful."

"Ian."

It was obviously just two words in a flat tone, but I was stunned to hear a kind of warning from it.

"Okay, okay, since you think I've said too much, then I won't say anything." Earl Ian raised a hand indifferently, "Then, let's have breakfast."

The breakfast was nothing like what Jane the maid had described to me earlier.

The maids served first Hippocrates liqueur with ginger ale - a wine usually used at weddings as a remedy for health; followed by steaming hot cream Custards, quiches sprinkled with saffron patterned into the Haggs family crest, and tricolor fruit tarts with coriander seeds and other spices.The valets brought marzipan statues of stags and stags adorned with gold leaf and set them in the center of the table, while Earl Elvis and I placed gold wheels, The silver salt boat with jeweled spoons, and the nautilus sugar boat with silver wheels on Earl Ian's side, both of these dignified tableware can be pushed around. Pass each other at the dinner table.

After the male servants set up the marzipan sculpture and the boat-shaped basin and retreated, they were served with a brightly colored Balancmanger, another extremely time-consuming delicacy that usually only appears at wedding celebrations-this dish requires Boil the almonds and rice overnight in water the day before, rinse them and dry them on the fire the next day, then add almond milk to boil, then add minced chicken, eggs and cream and a lot of sugar and mash it into a jelly-like shape, It is absolutely impossible to do it on a whim.The Balancmanger arrived on a shallow silver plate, half sprinkled with ground white almond powder, and the other half was a bright crimson—the top was sprinkled with ruby-red pomegranate seeds, the border between the two. In the middle, it is an ambiguous pink.

In the end, the pomegranate fruit plate representing many children was presented. If the Hippoclas liqueur at the beginning could be explained as a coincidence, then by the time Balancmanger appeared, Earl Ian's intentions had been revealed unabashedly— — This is not a normal ordinary breakfast, but a "bridal breakfast", whether it is ginger wine or a deep meaning, every dish is served for this purpose, and this breakfast is usually served on the morning of the wedding celebration .

Earl Elvis must have noticed it a long time ago—after all, when the maid Jane wanted to dig me out of the bed for breakfast in the morning, she only mentioned ordinary breakfast options such as bread and roast quail, and didn’t mention it at all. I have been to any of the dishes that appeared on this table; during the entire serving process, neither the housekeeper, Miss Judy, nor the maid in charge, Jane, did not appear, and Earl Ian should have used some way to stop him from outside— — But Earl Elvis has no intention of stopping Earl Ian from messing around.

After the pomegranate fruit plate was delivered, Earl Ian raised the wine glass in front of him.

"My dear brother, let's celebrate you and our friendship, cheers!"

Earl Elvis nodded slightly, he picked up the wine glass in front of him, and then glanced at me.

I stared at the colorful plate of Balancmanger, let alone picked up the wine glass, and ignored the two brothers.

Although this is very rude, it does not conform to the behavior of a nobleman at all-but, fuck his noble etiquette!Acquiescence is connivance, Earl Ian who likes to make fun of me is certainly hateful, and Earl Elvis who indulges him is equally hateful, not to mention that he really——!

I just want to have a normal simple breakfast, eat some bread, drink some milk or coffee, who wants to face this hearty but stomach-ache "bridal breakfast"!

"Oh, just like all newcomers, the bride is always a bit shy." Earl Ian brought the cup to his mouth but didn't drink it, and said in a joking tone.

I gritted my teeth angrily.

"Lord Ian's thoughts are as delicate as embroidery needles, and your favor is as broad as your territory. Edmund will keep your thoughts in mind. If there is a chance, Edmund will definitely give you your beauty, name, spread."

"I'm very glad that you are a person who knows how to repay you, and you can also appreciate my painstaking efforts. This is not a waste of my hospitality to you. As for your return, it really makes people wait and see."

Earl Ian's tone was full of teeth-itching arrogance and sarcasm. Before we quarreled further, Earl Elvis took a look at Earl Ian, who shrugged his shoulders boredly and began to drink the wine in front of him.

I was on pins and needles for this breakfast - literally and spiritually, I couldn't even take a bite of the sweet Balancmanger, the pie was too hard to eat, let alone the pomegranate seeds, I ended up eating just a little Easy-to-digest quiche and hot custard; in addition, I have to cheer up to deal with Earl Ian's verbal confrontation from time to time. Maybe he saw that I was unwell, and he deliberately delayed the meal time. Normally, it is more than 20 It took more than an hour to prepare breakfast in minutes, and when he finally got up to leave, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After Earl Ian left, Earl Elvis turned to look at me while wiping his hands with the handkerchief brought by the maid.

"you are not happy."

He used an affirmative sentence.

"Edmund is honored to be bathed in the favor of two noble lords, how dare you question your lord's kindness." I turned my head and asked the maid to tidy up the collar of my shirt that was messed up during the meal, Senseless compliments slipped without even thinking.

"Ian has always been such a character. If he is not satisfied, he will keep making trouble." The earl actually explained to me for the first time, "This is just a trivial matter."

"For the two of you, of course it's just a trivial matter, and it's even quite appropriate." I gritted my teeth.

The count didn't give any other explanation. After the maid tidied up our clothes, he just asked, "Do you want to read that letter?"

My attention was immediately diverted.
