"Lady Natalia, Lady Livia, the restaurant should be almost ready."
After the stone wall closed, the old butler bowed and spoke to the two of them.
Natalia nodded and looked at Livia beside her, waiting for his decision. After all, this banquet was prepared for Livia.
Livia smiled and touched her belly, "Thank you for the treat."
He is not a heartless person. Now that everything has been prepared, he will definitely enjoy the food.
The old butler led the way silently in the direction they came from. The restaurant and kitchen were on the other side of the corridor.
Livia and Natalia followed behind and soon arrived at the door of the hall. Just as they were about to pass through, they suddenly heard voices talking in the hall.
"Sir Honasan, I hope you and Viscount Natalia will seriously consider our terms. You have to know...
The situation of the Lambardia family is not good. "
A strange voice with a teasing tone sounded in the hall.
Honasan?
Livia turned her head doubtfully and looked towards the door leading to the hall.
The old butler and Natalia also stopped with unhappy expressions.
“Butler, take Livia to the restaurant first, I’ll take care of it.”
Natalia took a deep breath, gave an instruction to the old butler in front of her, and then walked towards the door of the hall.
"Sir Livia, please follow me."
The old butler looked a little heavy, looking at Livia and whispered.
Livia glanced at the old butler, then at Natalia who was walking towards the hall. Based on what he had just heard, he could guess that it was a conflict of interests between the nobles.
This was a troublesome matter, and under normal circumstances he would definitely not want to get involved, but...
I have just accepted Natalia's favor, and I will be leaving Songkani soon, so why not give her a hand?
Thinking of this, Livia made a decision and smiled at the old butler.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry yet, there's no rush.
Lady Natalia, I'll go and see if everything is alright."
The old butler's face changed when he heard his words. He was about to say something, but he saw Natalia in front of him stopped and looked back. Her eyes stopped him from saying anything.
Then Natalia looked at Livia with complicated eyes. She didn't know why Livia suddenly wanted to get involved in such things.
Livia looked at her frankly for a few seconds, and finally Natalia sighed helplessly, "This is none of your business, and you can't help with this matter."
She was in no mood to make riddles and made her point clear. She didn't really want Livia to get involved in this matter, and it might even bring more trouble.
Seeing that she was somewhat determined to refuse, Livia had no intention of forcing a hand, and silently turned around and motioned for the old butler to bring it over.
"If you need anything, please feel free to ask, as long as it is within my ability."
But after all, he owed the other party a favor. Livia whispered to the old butler as he left, saying that he was not the kind of person who liked to owe favors to others.
But when it comes to favors, who can tell for sure? He felt that he owed Natalia a small favor, while Natalia felt that she owed him a lot of favors.
Hearing what he said when he left, Natalia was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked at Livia's back with complicated eyes as he disappeared into the corridor. She shook her head with a bitter expression, turned around and pushed open the door of the hall.
She walked into the hall with steady and firm steps, and the moment she entered the hall, the expression on her face suddenly became serious and indifferent.
"Baron Merhead, let's discuss that matter more slowly!"
Looking at the somewhat stunned middle-aged man in front of her, Natalia's eyes were sharp and her words were spoken in a very heavy tone.
…
After turning two corners along the way and following the old butler into the restaurant, Livia kept looking around the restaurant out of the corner of her eye. It seemed that no matter how down and out this noble was, as long as he had the ability, he would be able to put on a good show.
Looking at the restaurant that was even more luxurious than the hall, Livia couldn't help but sigh.
"Lord Livia, please sit here and wait for a while. I will go to the kitchen to give some instructions."
The old butler helped pull out the wooden chair in front of the square dining table and bowed for Livia to sit down and wait.
Livia nodded and sat on the wooden chair in front of her somewhat awkwardly.
The reason why he felt a little restrained and couldn't move his hands and feet freely was that the wooden chair he was sitting on was carved with exquisite patterns. It was like a work of art and looked very valuable, so he couldn't help but feel restrained.
but……
He looked carefully at the dining table in front of him, which should be a set with some delicate patterns, and the same wooden chairs next to it.
The square dining table in front of him was very large. Not counting the wooden chair he had and the one opposite him, there were twenty-two seats on both sides, which could accommodate a total of twenty-four people to dine together.
This shows the former glory and prosperity of the Lambardia family. Based on some traces, he could vaguely recognize that the dining table and wooden chairs were all made within fifty years.
If the family is not large, how could they put such a big dining table in the restaurant? Wouldn't it be lonely and uncomfortable for just a few people to sit there?
You should know that this is not a restaurant for entertaining guests, but a more private restaurant. From the location of the restaurant, you can tell that a restaurant for entertaining guests will be placed behind the mansion.
In just fifty years, a family went from having a population of at least two digits to losing its only son. What exactly happened or went through the Lambardia family?
Livia suddenly felt that he had come into contact with something rather secretive. Just when he wanted to think further about it, a voice from the side interrupted him.
"Lord Livia, please enjoy your meal. I have to go back to Lady Natalia first. If you have anything to say, just tell the maids and servants below."
The old butler came back when Livia was thinking deeply about something, and bowed to him and said.
As he spoke, two maids carrying trays came forward carefully and placed the food on the trays on the dining table in front of him.
"It's okay, go back to Natalia."
Livia nodded and replied.
The old butler bowed again in apology and then slowly left the restaurant.
Livia's gaze returned to the dining table and the two maids, and when he was interrupted by the butler, he felt that he had missed something and could not think of anything else.
He did not think too much about the Lambardia family. Instead of worrying about it, he decided to enjoy the food in front of him.
Smelling the rich aroma, he felt his stomach protesting against him.
While he was putting aside the affairs of the Lambardia family, the maid next to him had already served the food and retreated to the side with the tray.
He picked up the knife and fork in front of him and looked at the delicious food on the table.
