Aurora pouted in an aggrieved manner before she said in a low and muffled voice, "I got it, Dad..."
Charlie smiled at this time as he asked, "Let the housekeeper take care of the dog first. I'll play with it after I'm done eating."
Lord Moore then hurriedly asked the housekeeper to take the dog out first.
Everyone began to sit down, one after the other.
Lord Moore sat on Charlie's left while Yahiko sat on Charlie's right.
As for Emi and Hiroshi, both of them were originally unworthy to sit at the table to eat together with them. However, Charlie managed to get them to sit down at the table anyway. 4
The relationship between a master and a servant was very clear and distinct in Japanese society.
Sometimes, the title as a senior could easily make a junior demonstrate his respect, but it was relatively less rigid in Oskia. Moreover, Charlie was not the kind of person who cared so much about these details. So, h e simply asked them to sit down together at the table. 2
Emi and Hiroshi were naturally very flattered.
After everyone was seated, Lord Moore asked his
servant to pour wine for everyone. This time, the wine that he was serving was also the same Moutai that he usually served. In the upper-class society, this was the most popular brand and the only choice of wine that would usually be served to any foreign guests during state banquets.
Furthermore, Lord Moore collected a lot of Moutai bottles that even the rich and wealthy would not be able to buy on the market. Any bottle of his Moutai would easily have been preserved for at least twenty years.
After the servant poured the white wine for everyone, Yahiko could not help but hold his wine glass under his nose as he sniffed it slightly. After that, he exclaimed, "It is no wonder why this is Oskia’s national wine! The fragrance of the wine alone is enough to intoxicate a person!"
Lord Moore asked curiously, "Oh? Mr. Ito, you have also done your research on Oskian liquor?"
