Antheena got to the point and Dominik raised his head and laughed heartily. “Liam is. definitely the youngest among us. But when Liam and Eleanor competed as children, the bet was that if Liam won, Eleanor would call him ‘Big Bro. He did win that match against Eleanor, and since then, Eleanor has been calling him ‘Big Bro Liam.’ She got used to it over time.”
“Your sibling relationship is truly enviable.” Anthony sighed and continued drinking. In the flickering firelight, the disappointment and sadness in Anthony’s eyes were particularly clear. He must have been thinking about his own siblings, which made him envy the harmonious family relationship of the Ledger clan.
“Your Highness, the wine is here.” A servant brought a jar of wine and knelt in front of the two, pouring wine for them. At this moment, Tiffany also walked over, glanced at the wine bottle in the servant’s hand, and her eyes lit up indicating that she was up to no good.
“Let’s finish our drink for now. Later, when the roasted lamb is ready, I’ll treat you to the specialty roasted lamb of our hidden clan.”
Liam was hospitable and easygoing, making people feel close to him. “Thank you for your generous hospitality, Prince Liam.”
“Cheers.”
“This wine is good.” “We heard that the roasted lamb of your hidden clan is delicious. We’re looking forward to it.” “I love lamb meat a lot.”
Everyone was chatting, and the mood was laid- back and pleasant. But there were also one or two exceptions.
For example, Iron Pillar had a gloomy face throughout the banquet but was easily overlooked, and Tiffany was humiliated earlier and tried to minimize her presence as she was afraid of attracting attention and ridicule.
After everyone put down their wine glasses, Liam turned to the servant and said, “Go and ask if the roasted lamb is ready, and bring it over.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” The servant turned and left. After a while, several people carried two roasted lambs over, and two others set up a folding rack to roast the lambs and cut them into pieces with knives.
“Wow, it smells so good.” “It looks crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very appetizing.” “What spices did you use to roast it? It smells amazing.”
“Indeed.” “I’ve had many roasted lambs before, but none of them were as fragrant as this. I love eating lamb chops. Can I have more?”
The chef who roasted the lamb cut the meat with a knife and put it on plates, serving each person one by one. Dominik flashed an attractive smile and announced, “Try it, the roasted lamb of our hidden clan is crispy on the outside, tender, and juicy inside. It will surely leave you wanting more.”
Antheena loved eating lamb, and Tiffany was no exception, so it was the same for Veronica. She looked at the lamb chops on her plate, picked up a disposable glove, and started eating. “Here, this is a special secret sauce. Dip it in, it’ll taste even better.”
Liam stood up and put a portion of sauce in front of Veronica. Antheena couldn’t help but click her tongue, “Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Prince Liam is biased. How come we don’t have it?”
“Probably because you’re a married woman,” Anthony teased. Everyone laughed. At this point, Veronica felt uncomfortable, and she looked instinctively over at Matthew, who. was silently drinking at the table across from her.
Hendrey noticed Veronica’s gaze and also looked at Matthew. Unable to contain his curiosity, he stated, “I didn’t pay much attention before, but now I notice that your bodyguard seems familiar, Veronica.”
His casual remark caught everyone’s attention, and all eyes turned to Matthew. But Matthew remained hunched over with his legs crossed, not raising his head, simply drinking and eating lamb silently.
