Banquet hall.
The old King Corman Sinclair fell asleep with a large piece of fried steak in his mouth.
It has to be said that the Sleeping King is really performing consistently well.
Caroline understood that the kingdom's current chaotic situation was entirely due to the lack of a good king.
However, we have no obligation to care about him.
Inside the banquet hall, nobles dressed in magnificent gowns toasted each other and engaged in private conversations.
Their faces were beaming with smiles, and greed was written all over them.
How disgusting! Caroline couldn't help but think.
However, Caroline was one of them.
She was wearing a black and white fitted long dress made of satin, which was very comfortable to wear.
The main appeal is its beautiful design; the asymmetrical hem creates a sense of unbalanced beauty.
Caroline loves pretty things; she's loved them since she was little.
She had also fantasized about how happy she would be if she could wear beautiful clothes.
She is wearing it now, but she doesn't feel particularly happy.
Caroline suddenly realized that she hadn't laughed in a long time.
However, there was indeed nothing to be happy about.
"Relax, Anne," Jonas whispered to Caroline. "You should enjoy the dinner."
Jonas suddenly walked up to Caroline.
He called her Anne; that was the name he publicly used.
But she is not Anne—no longer.
This dress was a gift from Jonas.
The purpose was to provide Caroline with a proper dress so she could attend a noble banquet.
In fact, Caroline had a gorgeous dress, which she had custom-made using funds approved by the Herald Academy.
However, since Jonas was willing to give it to her, she naturally accepted it.
Jonas invited Caroline to the King's dinner party so that she could familiarize herself with everything about the court.
This naturally includes such extravagant banquets.
The banquet was filled with all kinds of delicious food and fine wine, and the tea and water were served by young beauties.
If a drunken nobleman drags a servant into a corner and pushes him down, it's simply a common occurrence here.
Seeing that Caroline did not answer, Jonas continued:
"You can also chat with a few young men; don't worry, they're the only ones who aren't good enough for you."
Caroline also looked down on them.
Caroline has high standards; she values not only outward appearance but also inner qualities.
People who possess both qualities are extremely rare.
Especially these pampered young masters, who are generally unruly and spoiled.
Perhaps Caroline has met better people, and now she feels somewhat indifferent to these people.
In just this short time, three people have already tried to strike up a conversation with Caroline.
Caroline politely declined their offer, but inwardly she despised them as vile maggots.
Caroline's mental state has been very unstable lately, and extreme thoughts often come to her mind.
However, could this be a sign of becoming powerful?
Caroline nodded to Jonas and looked toward the long table laden with food.
The only thing that attracts Caroline here is the food.
However, eating alone can always feel a bit lonely.
Even the cheapest pie in Emblem City tastes delicious if you have someone with you.
Unfortunately, it's unlikely that Caroline will ever encounter someone like that again in her life.
She is Carolyn Sinclair, and she must rescue her mother.
The burden on Caroline's shoulders made her afraid to focus too much on herself.
Caroline scooped up a chicken leg with a spatula, put it on her plate, and then went to a corner to eat it.
I must say, the food today is really delicious.
As soon as Caroline entered the banquet hall, she was stunned by the rich and fragrant aroma.
Caroline, who has eaten cold bread since childhood and has to make it herself if she wants to improve her meals, has a really weak resistance to delicious food.
She stuck the chicken leg in her mouth and put it in.
The exceptionally delicious chicken bursts with sweet juices the moment it touches your mouth.
Oh my god! How can it be so delicious!
Caroline chewed her food one bite after another.
This is so delicious!
Caroline went back to the long table and tried the smoked meat, steak, lamb—even the turnips and leafy greens tasted exceptionally delicious.
Who is the kingdom's chef? How could he possibly cook such delicious dishes?
When Caroline realized what was happening and looked down, she saw a small, round bulge in her lower abdomen.
Caroline blushed instantly.
It's really undignified of her to eat like that.
Caroline hurriedly put down her plate and moved away from that wicked long table.
She tried to tuck in her stomach, but when she strained, she felt like her stomach was about to explode.
It's really ugly!
Caroline is very concerned about her image; she is afraid that anyone will see what she looks like.
If she were wearing a coat of arms, that would be irrelevant.
At that time, she was just a herald, and heralds are not divided into men and women.
But she was wearing a dress; she was a woman at that moment!
However, when Caroline looked at the delicious food on the table, her mouth still watered.
Ahhh! Food is definitely the devil's invention!
Caroline approached Jonas: "My lord, I wish to leave first."
"What's wrong?"
Caroline was too embarrassed to bring it up, so she could only say evasively:
"I want to go back and rest."
"Hmm...Alright, no problem, but if you're not tired, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"What kind of help?"
Caroline asked immediately.
She loves her work; when she's working, she can forget all her troubles.
Apart from that, only reading can replace the function of work.
"You know, no matter how lively it is elsewhere in the palace, the kingdom's grand ceremony must be guarded."
"A Guardian Knight?"
“That’s right,” Jonas said. “It’s Diego on duty today.”
Diego, Caroline had dealt with this man before; she had given him some advice, so they had some kind of relationship.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Go and take him some good food. Oh! I must say, tonight's food is really delicious."
"Okay, sure."
"However, Annie, you must understand that your goal is simply to win them over. Although a meal is not enough to completely win someone's heart, it can increase how well they regard you. Favors are built up little by little."
"Diego is a good man, and I believe you may need his help in the future."
"good....
Caroline understood Jonas's advice and acted immediately.
After packing the food, proceed to the audience hall.
Sure enough, Diego stood upright beside the divinely ordained ceremony.
Caroline explained her purpose, and Diego looked surprised:
"Thank you, Ms. Annie. I didn't expect you to remember me."
"The Heraldry Office compiles statistics on all personnel arrangements within the palace."
Diego nodded, then tied the food box to his belt.
He said he appreciated Caroline's kindness, but he was not allowed to eat while on guard duty.
Seeing his reaction, Caroline felt that Jonas was right; Diego was indeed a good person.
With her mission accomplished, Caroline prepared to leave.
Suddenly, she heard a soft call.
Caroline turned her head sharply, and to her surprise, the voice came from that divinely bestowed tome:
"I---."
"Open me—"
