Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 383 Alexandra

After leaving Isabella, Taylor took Howard to the banquet to look for the next heir of the Gunther family.

Howard really didn't want to be pushed around by this person, so he asked, "With your status, shouldn't you notify them to come find you?"

"Elders shouldn't always ruin the fun of the younger generation, or they'll be disliked." Taylor replied with a smile, "How could you bear to leave Isabella halfway through her song? Some guys might have gone through so much trouble to strike up a conversation with a girl they like, and if I called them over now, they'd resent it."

Taylor: "Besides, they will inevitably be restrained when they are called in for questioning, but I think Ms. Irene and you want to see their most lively and natural side."

Howard: "..."

Okay, whatever you say makes sense.

Howard was half pushed and half forced by Taylor to come to the gambling table, where the game had already come to an end.

The game was about poker, which seemed to be a variation of Texas Hold'em based on the rules. At this point, the rest of the gamblers had already folded, leaving only the last two people still competing at the table.

The wrinkles on the face of the gambler on the left were almost twisted together. He was wearing thick purple fur and stood up, staring at the gambling table.

His opponent was a man in his early twenties. He did not wear those cumbersome clothes that seemed to show off all his wealth. Instead, he wore smart and slim clothes similar to a suit. He leaned leisurely on the chair with his legs crossed, and seemed to take the gambling game not seriously at all. He even had the leisure to chat and amuse himself with his female companion.

The backs of the cards they used were etched with the Gunther family emblem in black and red, and the cards were painted with the empire's heroes and points. The two gamblers were surrounded by piles of chips, the centers of which were inlaid with flaky amber and emeralds, and the outside was covered with white copper. Even if they were not exchanged and sold directly on the market, they would still be very expensive.

When the last community card was dealt, the gambler on the left seemed to be relieved. He turned over his hole cards, which together with the other three selected cards formed a full house. His points were very high, and under normal circumstances, this hand type would make 95% of the opponents give up.

After turning over the last card, the gambler sat back in his chair and drank his drink leisurely, as if he was sure of winning.

But his opponent just casually turned over his cards, without even looking at the gambling table. Then he stood up from his seat, whispered something in his female companion's ear, and then walked straight to Taylor and Howard.

At the gambling table, the card he turned over and his open cards formed a straight flush, which overwhelmed his opponent's full house.

All his chips belonged to his female companion, which was also a gift he gave to the lady when he left.

"Father." The young man greeted Taylor first, then after a very brief look at Howard, he also greeted: "And this guest."

Compared to Isabella's awe, he could be said to be neither humble nor arrogant.

However, after the two sides met, Taylor was not in a hurry to introduce them. Instead, he gently scolded her: "Alexandra, gambling is a bad thing."

The man named Alexandra had a confused expression on his face for a very brief moment, as if he didn't understand why his father would say such a thing, but when he glanced at Howard inconspicuously, the confused expression disappeared.

"Father, only things that are undecided are called gambling," Alexandra responded. "For me, the outcome of the bet is under my control. I don't think it's gambling, but simply a special method of taking chips from others in a legitimate way."

"Alexandra, my son." Taylor didn't delve into Alexandra's sophistry, but introduced him to Howard: "As you can see, he has some cleverness."

When Alexandra heard her father address Howard as "you", her expression froze slightly, and there was a hint of fear and hatred in her eyes as she looked at Howard. However, when Taylor looked at him again, he hid this emotion well.

The young man can't control his facial expressions!

"He's just a little clever, but he's better than those idiots who don't even have a little cleverness. If he's trained, maybe he can take on the family's responsibilities." Taylor continued, "However, it would be best if he could serve Ms. Irene, because that is the most important duty and mission of the Gunther family."

Tyler then turns to introduce Howard to Alexandra:

"Howard Sisyphus, Ms. Irene's messenger, prefers to be called Mr. Howard rather than Mr. Sisyphus."

The Gunther child was not as excited as the previous child when he heard the name "Eileen". He extended his hand to Howard politely:

"It's an honor to meet you."

Howard looked at the young man's wrist and tilted his head slightly to the side.

Because under the cuffs of this young man's sleeves, he could vaguely see a jewelry bracelet.

If he remembered correctly, Isabella seemed to be wearing a similar bracelet on her hand just now, and the two bracelets seemed to be matching and complementary in some aspects from the shape.

Emm...they are blood-related siblings, right?

But after hesitating, he still shook it:

"Nice to meet you."

Howard then added:

"I have to accept Miss Isabella's invitation and dance with her later."

The grip on my hand suddenly increased, and I couldn't let go for a long time.

It seems that this child not only has trouble managing his facial expressions, but also his emotions.

"That's a shame." Alexandra finally let go of Howard's hand. "I was going to invite you to play a game."

"Mr. Howard, I suddenly remembered that I have some trivial matters to attend to. Please allow me to take my leave." Taylor suddenly said at this time: "But now that you have met Alexandra, let her show you around here. Please don't hesitate to use anything you see, because everything we have is a gift from Ms. Irene."

After taking a look at his son, Taylor left.

When Taylor walked away, Alexandra immediately changed her demeanor. She dropped the pretentiousness she had shown in front of her father, and then patted Howard on the back with a little force, even a little roughly and weakly.

"Huh! Finally gone!" The young man raised an eyebrow at Howard, as if they were already good brothers who could talk about anything. "My father... Don't be fooled by his politeness to you. In fact, we, his children, are always nervous in front of him. Who knows if he will..."

At this point, Alexandra stopped talking and waved her hand, as if trying to dispel some bad memories.

Then he said to Howard:

"Dear guest, what would you like to do next? Although my father asked me to take you to meet your other brothers and sisters, I don't think you are interested. I also think that those... uh... idiots... don't need to come out and upset you. Do you want to go back to dance with Shaya? Or do you want to go somewhere more exciting?"

Combined with what was said before, Shaya is probably the nickname or something like that of the girl named Isabella.

Howard: "No, where is the restroom?"
