Chapter 439: Black Zhen 1 A pedestrian accidentally enters the world of Cinderella (3)
"That's not true, my lord, please don't scare me."
Mrs. Bathory stood in front of Black Jane, blocking her view.
"Ever since His Royal Highness abolished slavery, the Bathory family has hired a group of civilian women to help with household chores."
"What kind of housework causes multiple injuries?"
"Well, Lily had wounds on her body before she started doing housework. Commoners don't have much medicine, so it's natural for her to have wounds."
Mrs. Bathory, looking embarrassed, changed the subject, "What are the requirements for attending His Royal Highness's dinner party?"
Heizhen subconsciously looked at Bronck who was invisible beside her.
Through the spiritual connection between him and Black Jeanne, which protects the Master and the Servant, Bronk provides advice to Black Jeanne.
"Although His Royal Highness's palace is magnificent, it cannot accommodate everyone. If someone or a family with a bad reputation attends His Royal Highness's dinner party, it will have a negative impact on His Royal Highness's prestige."
"It is well known that the Bathory family has always been a loyal supporter of the royal family. As a family with a long tradition, the Bathory family's reputation has always been widely praised."
Anthesia and Tricia handed the snacks and tea to the maids next to them and signaled them to leave.
"Generally speaking, a family can only have two people at most who are eligible to attend His Royal Highness's dinner."
There was a hint of hostility between Anthesia and Tracylia as they looked at each other.
Mrs. Bathory glared at her two daughters, who were really flattering Black Zhen.
"Besides, as the head of the family, I must attend, so there is only one person left qualified to attend the dinner. But, my lord, the Bathory family currently has two legitimate daughters."
Hei Zhen walked back and forth in the room with her hands behind her back, pretending to be distressed.
Mrs. Bathory knew she had to please Black Jeanne and picked up the bell from the dining table.
Two maids came into the room from the back door.
A maid carried a tray of perfume.
"The perfume that my wife ordered has arrived. Please inspect it, my lord."
Anteria took the tray and moved closer to Heizhen.
Another maid carried a bottle of wine.
"Recently, the Bathory family has brewed a batch of wine in their territory. Please taste it, my lord."
Trishlia was afraid that she would not be qualified to attend the dinner, so she took the initiative to get closer to Heizhen.
Hei Zhen, who was wearing perfume, took a few sips of wine.
"Given the relationship between us, I am willing to offer the Bathory family a chance."
Black Zhen stopped by the window and turned to look at Mrs. Bathory.
"As a vassal of His Royal Highness, I can bring a servant to the dinner."
"The problem is, if I attend the dinner as a servant, His Royal Highness will definitely ignore me."
Lady Bathory was very dissatisfied with the plan proposed by Black Zhen, "My Lord, do you really want me to give up my legitimate daughter?"
Fake crying didn't affect Heizhen at all.
"The rules are set by His Royal Highness the Prince."
Just as Black Jeanne was reiterating the rules with a serious look, two armored knights broke in.
The Bathory family guards who wanted to stop them retreated when they saw a knight holding the prince's flag.
"His Royal Highness has issued an oral order that each family may only have two attendees at the banquet. I, your Excellency, will be responsible for verifying this and ensure there are no mistakes."
The knight who read out His Royal Highness's order removed his mask and said, "By His Royal Highness's order, we two knights are responsible for protecting the safety of our lord until His Royal Highness's dinner is successfully concluded."
