Chapter 214 Smoothie Leaves
Chapter 214 Smoothie Leaves
In the evening, the Nine Snakes Pirates held a banquet in the yard.
In this world, if asked when he is happiest, Jellal feels that apart from being with the Empress, the happiest times are at banquets.
"Hey! Smoothie, don't drink juice here alone." Yamato walked up to Smoothie with a bottle of wine.
Yamato, who was a little drunk, acted boldly and unrestrainedly. At this moment, she did not regard herself as a woman at all.
When Smoothie saw Yamato like this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and muttered to himself: Is this really Kaido's daughter?
Yamato walked up to Smoothie.
Without saying a word, he picked up the empty wine glass on the table and filled himself with wine. Then he raised the glass and grinned at Smoothie and said, "Come on, cheers!"
Smoothie felt helpless when he saw Yamato being so generous.
But it was not easy to reject the other party's kindness directly, so he could only put on a fake smile and nodded: "No, I don't like too much noise..."
However, before Smoothie could finish her words, Yamato interrupted her.
And said very domineeringly: "You're welcome, come, have a drink!"
After saying that, Yamato didn't even give Smoothie any chance to react and directly filled the glass in Smoothie's hand.
Seeing this, Smoothie knew that if he continued to refuse, he would seem a little hypocritical.
So she gritted her teeth and picked up the wine glass, drinking it all with Yamato.
"Hahaha~ That's right, pirates who don't drink are so boring!" Yamato laughed with satisfaction after watching Smoothie drink the wine in the glass.
At the same time, he patted Smoothie's shoulder heavily, as if he had regarded Smoothie as his good friend.
Smoothie, on the other hand, was a little bit confused by Yamato's sudden action, as she had never experienced anything like this before.
You know, in their Big Mom Pirates, various banquets and parties are often held.
But those occasions were almost always revelries for her mother alone.
As children, they not only need to stay by their mother's side and flatter her all the time, but also have to be on guard against their mother's sudden madness.
It can be said that it is not fun at all.
In contrast, the sincerity and frankness shown by the Nine Snakes Pirates made Smoothie feel very fresh and special.
But she had other plans for tonight and couldn't let the alcohol cloud her mind.
Thinking of this, Smoothie's eyes turned to Jellal.
Jellal noticed Smoothie's gaze, said something to the Empress, and then walked towards her.
"Yamato, go over and have a drink with them." Jellal turned and shouted at Yamato.
"Okay~ Then I'll go find Sister Snake to drink together!" Yamato agreed happily, then picked up the bottle of wine and walked towards the direction of the empress.
Jellal looked at Yamato's departing back and smiled slightly.
Then he picked up two glasses of wine and sat down next to Smoothie.
Smoothie looked at Jellal silently for a few seconds without saying anything. He just took the wine glass from Jellal's hand and drank it all in one gulp.
"Do you have anything to say to me?" After finishing his drink, Smoothie looked at Gerald calmly and asked.
"I should be the one asking you this. If you hadn't asked me to come here, why would I be sitting here?" Jellal and Smoothie looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.
Smoothie gently withdrew his gaze and then fell into silence.
"Smoothie, when are you planning to go back?" Gerard asked softly after a while.
He knew very well that there was almost no possibility between the two of them.
Even if the Empress is willing to accept Smoothie, Iron Balloon will never let Smoothie leave easily.
As for letting him marry into the family? Gerard believed that even if Iron Balloon himself was here, he probably wouldn't dare to say such a thing.
After a moment's silence, Smoothie ignored Jellal and walked straight towards the Empress.
Then, Jellal witnessed Smoothie whispering a few words to the Empress, and then the two of them left the yard together.
"Jellard, you are not allowed to eavesdrop." Just as they reached the door, the empress suddenly turned around and reminded Gerard.
As soon as she finished speaking, she left with Smoothie.
The girls witnessed this scene and although they were a little confused, they thought it had nothing to do with them and continued to drink happily.
Jellal was actually very curious about the content of their conversation, but since the empress forbade him to eavesdrop, he had to suppress his curiosity.
At this moment, "Kuina, you are drinking secretly again!" Jellal suddenly shouted at a sneaky little figure.
"I didn't! Jellal, please don't accuse me!" Seeing that her actions were exposed, Kuina returned to her original seat like lightning.
"Hahahaha~ Kuina, you'd better just drink your milk and juice!" Yamato couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
"And you, Yamato, drink less, you're almost drunk!" Jellal said to Yamato unhappily.
Yamato glared at Jera unconvincedly: "I'm an adult, I'm not afraid of you! Humph~"
"Hehehe, Yamato, let's ignore him and have a toast!" Harriet pulled Yamato back to his seat.
So Gerard was the only one standing in the corner curiously, while the girls started drinking happily.
More than an hour later, the Empress and Smoothie finally came back.
But the expressions on their faces seemed a little strange.
Although Gerard found it strange, he was confused for a moment.
The empress walked lightly to Jellal and sat down, while Smoothie held a bottle of fine wine, which was obviously specially brought for the three of them to taste.
Smoothie smiled and poured wine for Gerald, and asked curiously, "Aren't you curious at all about what Her Majesty the Empress and I just talked about?"
Jellal glanced back at his wife, noticing that she also had a small smile on her face.
He shook his head and replied calmly: "Not curious."
Smoothie seemed a little surprised by the answer, but he didn't show any displeasure.
She shrugged lightly and said cheerfully, "In that case, let's drink."
After saying that, she first picked up the wine glass, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
Immediately afterwards, the other two also raised their glasses, and crisp clinking sounds were heard.
Gerard drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and suddenly felt his throat as if it was burned by fire, and a burning and stinging sensation instantly hit him.
After swallowing the wine, a mellow aroma of wine spread in the mouth.
"Hiss...Ha...What kind of wine is this? It's so strong!" Gerard couldn't help but exclaimed.
After hearing this, Smoothie laughed proudly: "Hahaha, of course it must be a fine wine."
The empress also nodded slightly, expressing her agreement: "It is indeed a good wine."
Gerard drank a little too much that night. He only remembered that the empress carried him back to the room.
The next morning, after Jellal woke up, Smoothie suggested leaving.
"Someone came to pick you up?" Gerard asked.
"Well, it's been a great day and I have achieved my goal. Goodbye, Jellal." Smoothie lowered his head and reached out to touch Jellal's head.
Then, before Gerard could react, he walked out of the yard.
"Fuck!"
"It's amazing how tall you are!"
