1952 The Banquet on the National Day

"This is Fred, my aide. Please prepare a set of proper field officer's uniform and find an etiquette teacher for him. On August 10, I'm going to attend the wine party of the national day of the Sderland Republic held in the presidential palace!"

Zhang Tie followed Bertiri to the door of a presidential suite on the top of Area A, Moonlight Hotel, closely followed by a priest. When they were going to enter the door, Bertiri told that priest calmly.

"Okay, my lord, I will arrange it right now. What else could I help you with?" the priest asked Bertiri with a big smile. To be honest, Zhang Tie had not seen anyone in clerical dress with such a kind of smile.

"I'm going to cultivate in my room these days. Don't disturb me unless it's an emergency!" Bertiri told that priest. Closely after that, he told Zhang Tie, "Fred, you'd better learn etiquettes for a few days. You could apply battle skills on the battlefield; however, if you follow me, you have to know how to get along well with nobles and big figures in many cases. A person with a long sword and good manners could go further in the future!"

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Tie bowed obediently.

Bertiri's "decision" to cultivate in the room satisfied Zhang Tie very much. In this way, the two people would barely expose themselves to the public and have few troubles. They could carry out the following plan smoothly. However, Bertiri had to attend the national day banquet on August 10. Therefore, Zhang Tie had to follow him there. However, that date was only 2 days away from entering Golden Crown. Zhang Tie didn't think that anything could happen in such a short period of time. Additionally, as an aide of a knight, in that kind of banquet, Zhang Tie was like a walking background wall. Very few people would pay attention to him.

After leaving some words to Zhang Tie and the brilliant priest, Bertiri opened the door and exited the room, leaving Zhang Tie alone.

When the door was closed from outside, the priest instantly hid 95% of his smile. With a faintly polite smile, he took a look at Zhang Tie and nodded before saying, "Please come with me, your room is over there..."

As the aide of Bertiri, a major priest, Zhang Tie also had his private room next to the presidential suite in Moonlight Hotel, Gabydu City.

The room was considerate. If the real Fred was here, he might really become a bit thrilled about this place; however, Zhang Tie just pretended to be "thrilled". Closely after entering the room, he had become very curious as he started to look around with strong interest.

The priest, who took Zhang Tie in the room, took a scornful look at Zhang Tie. When Zhang Tie turned around, he recovered his normal look as he asked, "I wonder how much do you know about etiquette?" The priest especially emphasized in case that Zhang Tie didn't get his point. "I mean court etiquette, diplomatic etiquette and knight's aides etiquette?"

"Ah? Are etiquettes so complex?" Zhang Tie pretended to be surprised.

"It seems that you should learn it from the scratch!" The priest took another look at Zhang Tie out of admiration and jealousy. After that, he said arrogantly, "There are only 6 days left from the national day wine party in the presidential palace on August 10, you cannot get hang of too much etiquette and regulations in such a short period of time. Fortunately, you don't have to talk to too many people on that day. You only need to come in with Lord Bertiri. After that, you should respond to the eyes and requirements of Lord Bertiri. Therefore, I will mainly teach you what you should pay attention to on that occasion. Am I clear?"

"Clear!" Zhang Tie nodded as he behaved like a dutiful, obedient aide...

Closely after that, the priest left Zhang Tie's private room. After closing the room, Zhang Tie even heard that guy sighing and muttering outside the door, "Sigh, why don't I have such a good luck? I'm not even qualified to attend the national day wine party."

Zhang Tie almost burst out laughing...

Although that priest admired and envied that Zhang Tie had become Bertiri's aide, he dared not offend him; instead, he had someone measure Zhang Tie's body. After that, he found an etiquette teacher for Zhang Tie. In the following days, Zhang Tie "tried his best" to learn how to not make his owner embarrassed in public as a knight's aide. Time passed by...

...

August 10 was the national day of Sderland Republic. Although the entire Sderland Republic couldn't commemorate it on a large scale because of the holy war, it was necessary for it to hold a banquet in the presidential palace of Gabydu City. If it didn't even hold such a banquet, it might arouse great disputes.

In the evening, Zhang Tie followed Bertiri to the presidential palace in Gabydu City by car in a wholly new crimson field officer's uniform of Sacred Light Empire.

It was a grand banquet. Sacred Light Empire assigned two sacred light major priests, 5 throne priests and over 10 major priests to attend this banquet.

Besides Sacred Light Empire's representatives, president and prime minister, ministers, generals, representatives of major clans and top-class celebrities of Sderland Republic attended it too.

The greater part of the influential figures in the eastern theater of operations of the Western Continent had arrived.

The fleet coming out of Moonlight Hotel directly parked outside the banquet hall of the presidential palace which could even match an imperial palace. After the car parked, some waiters in black swallowtail, high hat and white gloves opened the doors of the car. Zhang Tie then stepped onto the red carpet with the other major priests and their aides. After roll call, they entered the banquet hall of the presidential palace which had started to be boisterous.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

Influential figures would always attend such banquets in the end.

"Wait for me at the entrance when the banquet is coming to an end..." The major priest left some words to Zhang Tie before walking towards those generals of Sderland Republic.

After getting Bertiri's point, Zhang Tie took a glass of cocktail from the tray of a waiter who had just passed by leisurely. Then, he walked to a corner of the banquet hall which was close to the band behind the fountain and waited for the end of this banquet...
