What's this?

Livia had just picked up the wine glass and had a little doubt, not only because of the white wine in the glass, but also because of the...

Ice cubes?

Ice cubes?

Livia looked at the translucent cube in the wine in the glass in confusion. This was the first time he saw ice cubes in this world, and they were placed in wine.

And if he hadn't smelled the slightest hint of alcohol, he wouldn't have recognized it as wine.

People in this world also put ice cubes in wine, but drinking ice wine in the middle of winter made him want to complain. If he had to choose, he would rather have a glass of mulled wine, but the host should follow his own wishes.

But he couldn't recognize what kind of wine it was. Although the smell sounded familiar, he couldn't identify it.

"What kind of wine is this?"

If you don’t understand, just ask. He raised his wine glass and asked the maid next to him.

"My lord, this is sweet potato wine."

Hearing his question, one of the maids lowered her head and answered.

Sweet potato wine?

Livia looked at the wine in the glass in confusion.

He knew what sweet potatoes were, but it was the first time he heard that sweet potatoes could be used to make wine.

Confused, he lifted the glass to his lips and took a sip.

Hiss~ The taste is very mild, mellow and rich, and the gently emerging sweetness of sweet potato makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Good wine!

He couldn't help but smack his lips and praised in his heart.

Now he has no intention of complaining about drinking ice wine, it's really...

marvelous!

So delicious!

After taking two more sips, Livia reluctantly put down the glass. With just these two sips, the wine was almost half gone. He felt embarrassed to ask the maid for more wine. After all, the wine must be very precious. After all, ice cubes were used. You have to know that making and storing ice in this era is undoubtedly a very difficult and troublesome task, so he naturally had to drink sparingly.

Besides, the food will not taste good if it gets cold. We can’t just focus on the wine and forget about the food.

My eyes moved to the food in front of me. This was...

Meat?

What surprised him was not just meat. Speaking of meat, he had eaten smoked fish, bacon, and sausages before, all of which were meat. However, it was the first time he saw pieces of meat on the plate in front of him. Yes, they were pieces of meat, with the fat still shining on them.

You have to know that this world is similar to his previous world in the Middle Ages. Meat is considered very precious, and the means of preservation are limited. Generally, meat is made into bacon and sausages for easy preservation.

This was the first time he had seen such fresh pork in this world. It looked like it was from the past two days. He guessed that Natalia and Caius must have held a banquet after they came back last night.

Thinking of this, Livia, who had just picked up a piece of meat with a fork, showed a helpless smile on his face. He was a little disappointed that he did not participate.

They quickly finished all the food in front of them. Although Natalia knew that he was extraordinary and had someone prepare a lot of food, for Livia it was still only about 60% to 70% full, but it was almost enough.

Putting down the knife and fork, Livia picked up the wine glass and drank it sip by sip.

In his opinion, the taste of the food in front of him was much worse than that of the wine. After all, the processing and preparation of food in this world was still very backward, far from the level of his previous life.

But compared to the smoked fish and sausages in the pub, it can also be considered a delicacy.

He's not that picky either.

After finishing the wine in the glass and waiting for a few minutes, Natalia and the others still didn't come. Livia looked at the maid who was still standing straight beside her with some helplessness.

From the exposed lower half of their faces, it can be seen that although these two maids are not as beautiful as Marina, their looks are not bad either. It makes sense that if they were too ugly, they would not be recruited as maids.

Livia's eyes moved down and landed on her body.

Well, she has a curvy figure and a well-proportioned body, which looks good in a maid uniform.

Seeing this, Livia's body also had some reaction. He was not a eunuch, and he would naturally react when seeing beautiful things. However, Livia's control over his body was enough for him to suppress the desire there and not embarrass himself.

Being stared at by him, the two maids standing nearby became a little uneasy and nervous. The fingers of their hands holding the tray were clenched together tightly, and gradually turned red and white.

Um?

Livia looked away and looked at the door of the restaurant. He heard footsteps coming from the corridor, but...

It was a bit heavy, unlike Natalia and the housekeeper's.

After waiting for half a minute, the owner of the footsteps appeared at the door, wearing familiar armor and with a resolute face.

“Honasan?

!”

Livia recognized the identity of the person who came.

"Mr. Livia!

. "

Honasan looked at Livia and laughed, then walked towards him.

Livia stood up from the chair and looked at Honasan who was coming over with a smile on her face.

Honasan opened his arms and hugged him. Livia hesitated for a moment, and was hugged by Honasan while he was hesitating. He felt a little uncomfortable with his sharp-edged armor.

Livia smiled bitterly and patted Honasan's shoulder, signaling him that it was enough and to let go of herself.

What he didn't see was that Honasan's expression was a little complicated at this moment. After all, Honasan had thought that Livia was dead and forced Natalia not to go to support her. Now that he saw Livia coming back alive, he felt very embarrassed and uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

When he heard what Lady Natalia said just now, he clearly felt that Natalia's knot had been untied, which was undoubtedly a good thing, but he didn't know how to face Livia.

His expression changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and made the decision.

Letting go of Livia, Honasan took a step back and looked at Livia with a complicated expression.

"Feel sorry."

"Um?"

Honasan's sudden apology made Livia a little confused. He had no idea why the other party suddenly apologized to him. Seeing his expression, Honasan realized that he seemed to be unclear about the situation, as if he didn't care at all that they had abandoned him.

Honasan opened his mouth and finally sighed helplessly, "After you stayed behind to hold back the ice giant, it was...

I won’t let Lady Natalia go back to support you.”

He is also a knight. In this situation, he is unwilling to violate his chivalrous ethics again. He has already made the decision in his heart, so naturally he will not regret it.

Seeing Honasan speaking with an apologetic look, Livia was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized what was going on.

The smile on his face gradually faded, and he looked at Honasan in front of him expressionlessly. The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment, and the two maids around him became even more uneasy. They felt that they were not suitable to stay here any longer, but they dared not move without orders.

"You guys go down, don't tell anyone about what happened here."

Honasan naturally noticed the uneasiness of the two maids next to him, sighed, and spoke to them in a heavy tone.

The two maids bowed quickly and trotted away towards the kitchen.

Ignoring the two maids who left, Honasan looked at the silent Livia in front of him with a heavy face. He knew that his words would naturally make Livia have a very bad opinion of him, and might even be hostile to the Lanbardia family. You know, the trouble caused by a low-level extraordinary person is even similar to that of Baron Merhead just now, but he still had to say it.

If he didn't say it, he was afraid that Livia would know about it and bear a grudge against it, and the result would be the same.

"Sir Livia, I can apologize to you personally and compensate you with my own savings. I don't ask you to forgive my behavior, but I ask you not to have any ill will towards the Lambardia family."

Honasan hesitated, and said to Livia in a deep voice with a complicated look.

As soon as he finished speaking, Livia, who had been silent, suddenly shook her head.
