Tavern in Another Dimension:Getting the Elf Queen Drunk at the Start

Chapter 12: Distinguished Guest, the Little Princess from the Imperial City

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ever since Orina left Rock City, Sophia came every day to have a drink at Alan’s tavern right around closing time.

Perhaps it was because she made a fool of herself when she first drank Lafite, she would leave after drinking half a bottle. For the last three days, Alan would drink the leftovers.

It wasn’t until Alan told her that if she couldn’t finish it, she could save the rest as long she re-sealed the bottle, and from that day on, Alan could no longer take advantage of the leftover wine that Sofia paid for.

Recently, because Sophia frequented his tavern, Alan had more gold coins in his hands to exchange for magic grapes. Because he had a lot of pending orders of wine, his current stock was far from enough.

A week later, early in the morning.

Alan just opened the door of the tavern when he saw an attendent from the governor’s household standing respectfully outside the door.

“Good morning, sir. The governor sent me to inform you that he will bring his distinguished guests to drink with him tonight.” After saying that, he even bowed to him.

Alan, who had never received such courtesy after transmigrating to this world, was touched. He was so touched that there were faint tears in his eyes.

“Thank you for informing me. Do you want to come in and have a drink?” Alan invited him warmly.

The attendant was calm and expressionless. He rejected him calmly, “No, thank you for your invitation. I still have to return to the governor’s mansion and report. I’ll take my leave now.” After saying that, he turned around and left. He didn’t even give Alan a chance to persuade him to stay.

“Sigh, what a good person. If he was willing to come in, he wouldn’t be stingy to pay a small gold coin to have a drink...” Alan looked at the departing back of the attendant and sighed silently.

Today was exactly one week after agreeing to host the governor’s guest.

For red wine, the longer it’s brewed, the stronger the aroma. Coupled with the fact that Alan’s wine cellar had a 100 times amplification booster, the wine brewed a week ago was just in time to serve the guests today. As for the wine that he brewed earlier, Alan planned to leave it all to the elves.

Throughout the day, Alan waited in the tavern quietly.

The residents of Rock City had long heard that the governor was hosting important guests. When they saw the governor waiting at the city gate with his knights, the idle residents all went to watch the show.

There was almost no one at the end of the street. It was so quiet that Alan thought Rock City had become an empty city.

On the other side, by the city gate of Rock City, on a main road that was wide enough to allow four large carriages to run side by side, there was a convoy of nearly 30 people.

Six large carriages carrying goods and a very gorgeous carriage carrying people were moving quickly.

In this convoy, besides the eight maids and servants accompanying them, there were also 15 armored knights and guards.

About a mile in front of the main convoy, there were two people riding horses. The leader was a beautiful girl. She was riding a white horse that was beautiful and valiant. Half a meter behind her was a knight who was wearing well-made armor, his face was serious and he did not smile.

The two of them peeled away from the carriages behind them and were galloping towards Rock City.

Kramer, the short and fat governor, who had been waiting for a while at the city gate, was talking with his administrative officer, Sevilino, about the magic Lafite that he would drink again tonight. He could not hide the anticipation on his face.

In the evening, as the sun was setting, Alan, who just ate dinner, was preparing the wine sets behind the bar counter.

Before the sky was completely dark, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of the tavern. Then, a young girl in a red dress walked in. She had bright eyes and white teeth. Behind her were the governor and a tall and strong knight.

A group of people followed her into the tavern. The governor dutifully led the way for the young girl and the knight. A maid followed closely behind the young girl. The administrative officer was busy arranging the remaining eight knights to take their seats.

“Kramer, is this the tavern that you said had good wine? Are you sure you didn’t lead us to the wrong place?” The girl had a look of contempt on her face as she surveyed the surroundings of the tavern with disdain.

When her gaze fell on Alan, who was standing at the bar counter, she was stunned by his appearance for a moment before she quickly averted her gaze.

“Princess Olivia, don’t underestimate this tavern.” Kramer heard the princess’ doubt and his chubby face was filled with pride as he said, “This tavern has been in Rock city for two generations. Especially now that Alan is in charge of it, everything in the tavern is brand new, including the wine we’re going to drink tonight. It’s a new type of wine that Alan brewed.”

Kramer’s explanation obviously could not completely dispel the princess’ doubts, but as long as the princess was willing to sit down and try it out, it would be fine.

Alan’s eyes lit up when he heard their conversation. While silently calculating how many gold coins he could earn tonight, he was surprised that it turned out to be the princess who he was serving. It was indeed a distinguished guest.

After listening to Kramer’s explanation, not only did the princess and her chief knight not believe it, but her entourage was even suspicious as to whether an old tavern could have good wine?

The eight knights exchanged a disdainful look with each other while ensuring that the five on the other table didn’t see them. They felt the same contempt from their companions’ expressions. They quietly curled up the corners of their lips and smiled mockingly.

Princess Olivia, Kramer, Sevilino, the strong knight, and a beautiful maid sat at the other table. After the five of them sat down, Alan walked over with a tray of wine.

“Your Excellency, Your Highness, welcome to my tavern,” Alan greeted them gracefully.

He placed the wine set on the table one by one and started serving them silently.

The princess, the chief knight, and her entourage, who were all full of contempt, were shocked when they saw the wine glass in Alan’s hands.

They didn’t expect this tavern to use crystal goblets!

Seeing the shock on their faces, Alan didn’t plan to explain and just let them misunderstand.

“Hmph, looks pretty decent.” Seeing Alan elegantly pour the wine, the princess crossed her arms in front of her chest and snorted with pride.

Alan secretly glanced at her flat chest and thought to himself, ‘Hmmm, you’re still young. It’s normal that you haven’t fully developed yet.’ Then he quickly moved his eyes away.

“Do what you should do. Don’t look around.” Suddenly, a low male voice sounded. Not only Alan but Kramer and Sevilino were also shocked. Olivia just glanced at the knight beside her with some confusion, the maid was still only looking at the princess.

“Chief Knight Stanton, what’s wrong?” Kramer asked in a low voice.

“Sir Knight, is there something wrong with my greeting?” Sevilino also asked weakly.

The only knight on the table looked at Alan and forced out a “Hmph” from his throat. He did not say anything else.

Alan was shocked. Fortunately, his hand was stable, but he was sweating in his heart. He only took a glance. This knight’s perception was too sharp...

“Hehe, don’t worry. Just work hard.” Kramer comforted Alan when he saw that the knight didn’t want to explain anymore.

Then, the governor took on the task of explaining. He not only showed off his knowledge on glass that he heard from Alan but also explained the method of tasting red wine.

Following Alan’s actions, the governor explained in great detail.

The princess listened with great interest.

Alan nodded and put aside the distracting thoughts, he said “Everyone, please taste this wine. It’s an ordinary Lafite.”

As he spoke, he gently pushed the five wine glasses in front of him to the five people on the table.

As the glasses came closer, the wine fragrance began to drift and linger at the tip of everyone’s nose.

For a moment, the simple environment of the tavern did not seem to be that important. Such wine fragrance was indeed unheard of.

Apart from the five people on the table, the other eight knights behind also smelled the attractive fragrance.. They were ashamed of their mockery when they entered the door.
