Chapter 189 Tenderness
In his previous life, Charlotte didn't have much money to travel, and he had never seen those famous palaces in Europe and how luxurious they were. But when he stepped into the Champagne Palace, his first reaction was: Damn, this is all the people's money!
Charlotte believed that the luxury of the Champagne Palace could not be compared with any other European palaces on Earth. After all, ancient Europe did not have magic, supernatural powers, or alchemy to build such a cool building.

The alchemical magic lamps that Charlotte had not yet been willing to buy were hung all over the Champagne Palace, illuminating the palace like daylight. In the Earth he traveled to, this kind of scene would only be seen in certain special occasions, when electricity would be wasted recklessly. In this medieval world, it was like a miracle.

Countless nobles in luxurious attire were strolling in this palace. Even the most expensive movies could not capture such extraordinary luxury. In every corner of the Champagne Palace, there were waiters and food. In every place where there were people, there were people holding fine wine waiting for people to take it. Countless beautiful girls in maid outfits were serving every guest like butterflies.

Charlotte took a deep breath and whispered to Julian, "Is this also your custom when you worship Ron?"

Julian whispered: "How is it possible!"

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, her tension inexplicably relieved.

Julian continued, "We in Bairon are much more sophisticated than Ingrima. Although we were founded almost at the same time, our blood race is not like these Ingrima people who have just become nobles for a few years."

Charlotte couldn't help but get nervous again.

Although he had never attended a similar aristocratic ball in the Fars Empire, he guessed that it would not be worse than this one.

Charlotte recalled that Anne had only taken him to the Gorgias University fraternity party in the 33rd year of the Black Moon Era, and had never mentioned the aristocratic balls or anything like that.

Being with Anne, Charlotte almost thought that she was just an ordinary girl, whose family was just a little rich and she was a noble. But she was no different from herself and had the same hobbies as Anne. She only liked some ordinary entertainment, such as opera, coffee, and walking...

But when he stood in the Champagne Palace, he suddenly realized that Anne of Brittany was not an ordinary girl. She was the daughter of the Count of Brittany and came from the most powerful aristocratic family in the Fars Empire. She was a noble girl who could not even tell the difference between a high-end extraordinary item like Dark Luxury, which cost 3,600 gold écu, and a second-hand luxury four-wheeled carriage, the latter of which was worth 2 écu and 8,000 francs and came with a lantern, a cushion, and reins!
Charlotte always thought that she was just having an ordinary love affair, but at this moment, she suddenly woke up and realized belatedly how gentle this lady from Brittany was.

Julian reached out his hand, nudged Charlotte, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Charlotte suddenly recovered and smiled, "It seems that everyone else brought a female companion, and we are the only two men paired together."

Julian pointed and said, "High Priest Augsradin also brought a young man with him."

Charlotte actually saw the high priest Augsradin holding the arm of a handsome young man. He couldn't tell whether the other party was a "virgin" or not, but he inexplicably felt that no matter whether he was a virgin before, he certainly couldn't be considered a virgin now.

High Priest Augsradin was chatting and laughing with another high priest of the Lord of Light. Charlotte wanted to go over and say hello, but after taking one look at the handsome young man next to the high priest, she decided not to disturb them for the time being.

At least she couldn't greet High Priest Augsradin when Julian was around. This was Charlotte's bottom line.

Julian attended Count Lanmalok's ball in a private capacity. Although he came from a distinguished family, he was still young and in a foreign country, so no one came up to greet him.

Julian didn't care about this and went around the Champagne Palace with Charlotte. He was from Bavaria and had only been to Inglima a few times. This was his first time to the Champagne Palace and he was curious about this famous palace.

Charlotte treated it as a tour of a famous tourist attraction, strolling with Julian in the Champagne Palace, and could easily pick up a glass of champagne produced by the Count of Fals-Bedivere. This feeling was quite pleasant.

For example, when visiting the Palace of Versailles, Schönbrunn Palace, or other ancient palaces in Europe, there are waiters and maids around at all times, and you can freely enjoy the finest food and wine. What a pleasure it is! Charlotte wanted to find out if there was any unopened champagne produced by Earl Bedivere and send it directly back to Machupi.

More than a dozen noble women passed by, including two beautiful middle-aged women, who flirted with the two men, and one of them even secretly threw a handkerchief to them.

Charlotte didn't know what this custom was, so she took Julian and left.

Julian whispered, "Are you not interested in the noble women of Ingrima?"

"Although the customs of the Inglima Empire are not as open as those of your Fars, the women of Inglima are still quite enthusiastic."

Charlotte said with lingering fear: "What if it's a honey trap?
Julian held his forehead with his hand and said, "This is the Champagne Palace! How could such a thing happen?"

"I see. Charlotte, are you a virgin? Have you never touched a woman?"

Charlotte nodded frequently. What she feared most was people reminding her of her past, and what she feared least was being considered a virgin. What was wrong with being a virgin?
Julian believed it and chuckled. He decided not to embarrass his "friend" any further and said, "If you don't like those married ladies of Ingrima, you can also try dating young ladies. However, they are more troublesome and may force you to get married."

Charlotte thought about it, and it seemed as if a switch in his brain flipped on. Some memories that he had deliberately sealed away came flooding out. They were all about the romantic anecdotes of the nobles of the Old World.

Just like in Europe and the United States on Earth, some people are very enthusiastic and open-minded, while others are very conservative. However, in the aristocratic circles, there are obviously more enthusiastic and unrestrained people, regardless of gender.

Charlotte was very resistant to this kind of thing and said, "I already have someone I like and I hope to get married in the future. You should do this kind of thing!"

Julian showed admiration and said, "I'm not interested in this kind of thing either."

The two were chatting when they heard a noisy sound and several people shouted, "Someone is dueling!"

"Mr. Jeremy Renner and Mr. Elian Wood are going to duel for Miss Veronica."

"I'll bet ten guineas on Jeremy, and I'll bet fifteen guineas on Jeremy, too."

Charlotte glanced at the crowd rushing over and said, "Is there such a boring thing?"

Julian smiled and said, "Let's go and watch the fun."

"What if we need to take action?"
