Chapter 1247 The Upcoming Meeting

The slender figure appeared silently. Seeing this, the other maids around immediately shut up. Only the short-haired maid Barbara was still complacent and continued to describe her experience at the coronation ceremony.

Until she noticed that Beatrice had been winking at her, and the other maids all looked behind her, their faces looked extremely stiff. One of the maids was so nervous that she even knocked over the bucket on the ground, but she didn't dare to move a bit.

"What's wrong with you?"

Barbara looked back subconsciously and found the slender figure behind her.

The other party was also a maid, with a white face and delicate makeup, looking very cool. Her cold temperament and capable short hair complemented each other. Obviously, she looked more mature and stable than the short-haired maid.

"Ling, Ling, head maid!"

Feeling the oppressive feeling faintly emanating from the visitor, Barbara's slender body also froze, and she hurriedly said in a panic: "Maid head, please listen to my excuses... No, please listen to my explanation, we are all doing our work well, and we are definitely not deliberately lazy or whispering."

After Barbara said this, Beatrice and several other maids kept nodding like chicks pecking at rice, obviously very afraid of the visitor.

It's no wonder, everyone knows that head maid Ling is the personal maid of His Royal Highness Prince of the Holy Lion. With a brave heart and a sharp sword, she has fought for His Royal Highness and made great military achievements. She is not only the envy of the maids, but also a respected senior. How can they not be respectful?

"You are the third daughter of the Jace family, named Barbara, right?"

A Ling put one hand on her waist, and while examining the short-haired maid in front of her, she said, "Your father, Viscount Jace, was the deputy general of the guard. In the recent battle of Glowing City, in order to protect His Majesty Lawrence, he fought alone against three fallen knights and was eventually seriously injured and unconscious. He demonstrated the bravery and perseverance of the Grimm nobles with his actions. How is he now?"

"My father has almost recovered with the blessing of several precious healing potions. I heard from His Majesty Lawrence who came to visit that the healing potions that saved my father were personally given by His Royal Highness Prince of the Holy Lion!"

Barbara's face suddenly surged with a smile. She was grateful and responded quickly: "Your Highness's kindness, I will never forget it!"

"Why are you still neglecting your work at the banquet that His Highness values ​​so much? For a maid, this is our battlefield!"

A Ling frowned slightly, and looked at the long-haired maid on the other side and said: "And you, Beatrice, the second daughter of the Brown family, your father Baron Brown, as the captain of the new Knights of the Temple of Light, is on guard on the Glorious Wall, and you are here holding a mop and dancing with joy!"

"I'm sorry, maid leader, we know we were wrong!"

Hearing A Ling's reprimand, Barbara, Beatrice and others immediately lowered their heads, looking like children who had made mistakes.

"Forget it, leave this to me, you all go to the back kitchen to wash the vegetables, there is a team of people missing there."

Looking at the aggrieved appearance of the maids, A Ling's frown soon relaxed and waved her hand gently.

"Yes, head maid!"

Hearing that they were asked to leave the banquet hall and go to the kitchen to help, although Barbara and the others looked a little gloomy, they immediately obeyed the order and ran away quickly.

"These young ladies are indeed impeccable in terms of etiquette, but they still need to continue to hone their work."

Looking at the backs of the maids leaving, A Ling sighed softly, picked up the mop and began to work hard to clean up the puddle of water that had just been spilled.

"Ling, are you too harsh on them?"

A Bing, who was not far away, saw this and immediately came to help, smiling: "After all, they were just a group of spoiled noble ladies not long ago. It is rare for them to improve so quickly."

"They did a good job, but not outstanding enough. If it were any other time, it would be fine, but this is a meeting that the Lord attaches great importance to. He specifically told us several times through reading. How can we not tread on thin ice?"

A Ling squeezed the water stains on the mop neatly, and a touch of loss appeared on her fair face again. She sighed: "Now there are more and more outstanding strong people around the Lord. Since we can't always be with the Lord, we must at least do our best on the battlefield that belongs to us."

"That's right, we must never let the Lord down!"

A Bing also nodded heavily and accelerated the action in his hands.

With the full efforts of these two fourth-level maids, this area soon became brand new, and even the floor looked shiny.

After calling another team of backup maids to take charge of this area, A Ling and A Bing walked to other areas of the banquet hall with satisfaction.

"Ling, speaking of which, the maids are all proud to meet the Lord, especially Barbara and Beatrice, who were so excited that they didn't sleep well for several nights. You transferred them to the kitchen, isn't it too much of a blow to them?"

Seeing that the preparations in the banquet hall had been perfectly completed, A Bing breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again.

"Don't worry, Miss Louise will be attending the meeting this time. You may not know that the eccentric and greedy vampire lady will take the lord to the kitchen to have a sneaky meal before each banquet."

A Ling smiled and responded: "The area that Barbara is responsible for is at the edge of the banquet hall, and it is difficult to see the lord directly. The kitchen with relatively limited space is different."

"So that's how it is. Our maid Ling seems strict, but in fact, she has always been thinking about the maids."

A Bing raised his eyebrows and began to joke: "If the maids knew that the serious maid Ling had to sleep with a pillow depicting the lord every day, I wonder what they would think?"

"Bing, keep your voice down, you are the same!"

A Ling's cheeks flushed and she quickly covered the other person's mouth.

Just as the banquet hall was ready, Lei Xiao, who had just subdued the Moon Clan, brought Qiduo, Hongye, Tiger Staff and others, and arrived not far from the banquet hall under the guidance of Sofia.

"Your Highness, the banquet hall is in front. I just received news from Maids Bing and Ling that everything is ready."

Sophia, dressed in a holy priest robe, touched her chest and saluted, introducing: "At present, the seven kings have arrived, and the civil and military officials from various countries who accompanied them are also on standby in the lounge."

"Very good, the most important purpose of holding this banquet is to let them get to know each other and lay the foundation for the subsequent cooperation."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and asked again: "What about the other two old presidents?"

"Your Highness, the leaders of the Mercenary Guild and the Alchemist Guild are all here, but Princess Fei'er of the Pelican is still busy repairing the absolute defense barrier that was previously eroded by darkness in the main hall, and will be able to arrive in a while."

Sophia Fia nodded to Lei Xiao and responded: "Your Highness, shall we officially hold the banquet now?"

"No hurry, there is still some time."

Lei Xiao just waved his hand, and Louise, who had been waiting here for a long time, rushed up immediately, her eyes shining, and said: "Lord, since there is still some time, then go to the kitchen to say hello! It happens that I haven't seen Rudy and others for a long time!"

"I think you are greedy?"

Lei Xiao touched the other person's head casually, and looked at Ariel and Catherine who were also waiting not far away, and Cecilia who just came from the corner, and smiled: "Then you can walk with me."

After receiving Lei Xiao's order, everyone immediately nodded and followed Lei Xiao obediently.

"Your Highness, please go this way."

Seeing this, Sofia smiled and began to lead the way again.

The group had just turned a corridor, and the refreshing fragrance had already hit them.

"Lord, this is the taste of my favorite cheese frosted lamb roll!"

Louise's starry eyes became brighter, and her saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth. She couldn't help but grab Lei Xiao's sleeve.

"It seems that Rudy and the others have expected you to come. After all, you have never been absent."

Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and had to speed up his pace.

When the group arrived at the kitchen door, Sofia's loud and crisp voice rang out: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the Holy Lion has arrived!"

After hearing Sofia's voice, both the guards at the door and the people who were busy in the kitchen were stunned for a moment, and then they put down their work and knelt on the ground with reverence and excitement.

In the human world, the title of the Prince of the Holy Lion does not only represent a territory in the Cold Flame Kingdom, but also represents a transcendent existence that is above the seven crowns and saves everyone!

"No need to be so grand, I'm just walking around. You've worked hard, just do your job."

Lei Xiao raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to stand up, and then walked into the kitchen with Louise who couldn't wait.

After letting Louise pounce on the small dining table that Rudy and others had already prepared, Lei Xiao looked around.

The scale of this kitchen is at least three or four hundred square meters, and it looks very spacious. Various ovens, stoves, chopping boards and other utensils are all available. At least hundreds of people are busy in it.

Whether it is the maids who are washing and picking vegetables at the outside, the chefs who are cutting and baking vegetables in the middle, or the chefs such as Rudy who are showing off their skills in the back, they are all in order and cooperate tacitly.

"Your Highness, we just passed through the back door of the kitchen. There are many food delivery ports on Rudy's side that lead directly to the banquet hall to ensure that the guests can enjoy the freshly baked delicacies as soon as possible."

Sophia introduced while taking Lei Xiao and others to slowly pace in the spacious space.

But just as Sophia finished speaking, a flustered sound suddenly came from not far away.

Lei Xiao looked in the direction of the sound and found that a short-haired maid accidentally dropped a potato on the ground. When she picked it up and tried to stand up, her head happened to knock the potato out of the hand of another long-haired maid. Then the two of them bumped into each other and sat down on the ground with stars in their eyes, making the whole scene quite funny.

"These two girls, how clumsy, what if they disturbed His Highness?"

Sophia frowned slightly and was about to step forward to scold them, but was stopped by Lei Xiao.

"It doesn't matter, everyone makes mistakes."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly and nodded to Ariel and Cecilia beside him. The two girls understood and stepped forward to help the two maids up.

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen!"

Seeing that the one who helped them up was the queen of a country, and the perfect woman they longed for in their hearts, the two maids' eyelids fluttered and they almost fainted with excitement.

But after a moment, their eyes fell on Lei Xiao again, and they knelt down on the ground together.

The long-haired maid was breathing rapidly, her chest rising and falling. She was the first to say excitedly, "Brown's daughter Beatrice, meet the great Prince of the Holy Lion!"

The short-haired maid followed closely, also full of excitement and awe, saying, "Jess's daughter Barbara, meet the great Prince of the Holy Lion! Because I saw the prince's real body up close, I was so excited that I accidentally bumped into him. Please forgive me!"

"I'm not a weak being, so how can I bump into him?"

Lei Xiao smiled and nodded, motioning the two maids who were still excited to stand up.

As for this kind of panic-stricken sudden scene, Lei Xiao has actually encountered it many times during this period, so he is not surprised.

"Beatrice from the Brown family?"

Lei Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said: "If I remember correctly, your father is the deputy captain of the Grimm Royal Knights, right? He is also one of the most loyal subordinates of Saint King Lawrence, and has stood firmly on my side from the beginning."

"To be honest with you, Your Highness, my father once told me that following Your Highness was the best choice he had ever made in his life! Now my father has been fortunate enough to be transferred here, and has been appreciated by Her Majesty Sofia and become the captain of the new Palace Guard Knights."

Beatrice was so excited that she cried with joy: "I didn't expect Your Highness to remember such an insignificant person like my father!"

"Your father is not a small person, his courage is enough to impress everyone People admire him. "

After that, Lei Xiao turned to Sophia and said casually: "Brown has made a lot of contributions to Lawrence's coronation. He has made great contributions and we must not ignore these heroes."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Sophia nodded, Lei Xiao looked at the short-haired maid Barbara and said: "I remember Lawrence once mentioned to me that there was a brave deputy captain who fought against several powerful enemies of the same strength to keep him safe. Is that your father?"

"Your Highness can remember my father's small achievements. I am grateful to you!"

Facing Lei Xiao who was so close, Barbara lost her ladylike image of a noble lady. She was so excited that her nose was about to burst out and she nodded repeatedly.
