Chapter 2040: Acting Cute Can Also Sustain A Living
News of Aulden from the Ministry of Law being bashed up by Duke Abraham in a little tavern at Romo Street started spreading around the royal court.
The little wish of many officials was fulfilled in a little tavern.
On top of that, the name of this little tavern that was spreading around also became a new spot for many officials to go for a drink at night.
Romo Street had declined for many years, but it was still a part of their youth.
The beautiful ladies who used to stand by Romo Street in front of little houses under bright red lights, showing off their beauty to passing customers, how were they?

“Peanut with porridge?” Abraham looked at the wooden box filled with drunkard peanuts. He chuckled and threw a peanut into his mouth.
The thrill of the spiciness woke his taste buds up immediately. He took a sip of warm seafood porridge.
Perfect!
A peanut and a sip of porridge, and just like that, Abraham finished three bowls of porridge before he ended his brunch, wanting more.
“Master, now there are rumors outside that you invested in and opened that tavern,” the butler said as he passed Abraham a silk handkerchief.
Abraham wiped his hand with a smile, and said, “The owner of this tavern is rather interesting. Let them spread the rumors so that he will have less trouble going for him.”
“Alright.” The butler nodded.
“Prepare the horse-drawn carriage. I’m going to the palace.”
“To see His Majesty?”
“No, to pick Vanessa up. You don’t have to prepare the formal dress.” Abraham walked out. “She will definitely like the side dishes from this tavern.”
“Master, isn’t it a little inappropriate to bring the princess to a tavern?” The butler voiced his worries.
“What’s inappropriate? We’re there for the food,” Abraham said with a smile.
***
Before even opening, there were already more than 10 customers waiting outside Saipan. Most of them were wearing courtier uniforms.
Of course, they did not arrive earlier to book a spot. Most of them did not know when the tavern opened, so they came early.
“Woah, look at their tavern. There are already so many people waiting before it even opened.”
“Yeah. How envious. It has been years since we saw such a sight at Romo Street.”
“I heard that this tavern might’ve been opened by Duke Abraham. These courtiers aren’t here for the wine.”
“No matter who opened this tavern, it is a good thing for Romo Street. There is finally some life here.”
The business operators along Romo Street gathered together as they chatted softly and looked at Saipan Tavern enviously.
No one would have expected that this tavern would be able to win over so many customers within a short span of a few days.
Mag did not expect the popularity of the tavern to increase so quickly. After dinner, he rested for a while, and when he opened the door, he almost got a shock from the customers outside.
“Please, come in.” Mag opened the door, and welcomed the rather displeased lords.
“If this tavern hadn’t been related to Duke Abraham, I would have taught this owner a lesson. How could it let an old man like me stand outside for so long,” an old courtier grumbled as he pounded his legs.
“Calm down. What happened to Aulden yesterday is a warning. The owner here isn’t to be trifled with,” an official who came over with him said with a smile.
“Not to be trifled with. We’re just here for the drinks. I heard that the wine here is really good,” the old courtier said with a smile.
Everyone took their seats, and ordered their wines and dishes.
Romo Street was not far from the various ministries, so it had its glory days.
Everyone chatted and reminisced about the old days.
Time passed by in a flash, and everything on Romo Street had changed.
The wine was good, and it was worth its price of 2,000 copper coins.
The side dishes were even more of a surprise. They would never find an even better side dish to go with drinks in any tavern around Rodu.
They would not be able to find anything like that even in a restaurant.
“This is a tavern with a good chef and good brewer.” That old courtier took a sip of the fine wine, and smacked his lips in satisfaction.
His displeasure had completely disappeared, just like the wine that went down his throat. The only regret he had was not discovering this tavern earlier.
“Yo, why are there so many people here today?” Abraham brought Vanessa into the tavern, and was shocked to see that more than half of the place was filled with seated customers.
“What a strong smell of alcohol.” Vanessa covered her nose, and took half a step back.
“Come on in. When did I ever lie to you? There really is good food,” Abraham said with a smile.
Vanessa glanced around, and saw the side dishes ordered by one of the customers. The bright red salad resembled the husband and wife lung slice.
When she saw the customer pick up the glistening pig’s ear covered with a layer of red oil and put it in his mouth, heard that clear crunchy sound of the cartilage, and took in that expression of enjoyment…
Gulp~
Vanessa swallowed her saliva.
Ever since she had come back to Rodu, she had not seen such beautiful red oil.
Therefore, she took a step forward again.
When Abraham and Vanessa stepped inside, the noisy tavern turned quiet immediately.
Princess Vanessa had attended a few royal events, so the courtiers were all rather familiar with her.
As for Abraham, there was no need to speak further. Most of them were here because Abraham beat Aulden up here.
Most of the courtiers stood up immediately to greet Abraham and Vanessa.
“Alright, just take it as you don’t know us. Don’t affect their business.” Abraham raised his hand to stop the bootlickers who wanted to come over.
Upon hearing that, everyone stopped in their tracks, and did not dare to speak further.
Hmm? Big Sister Vanessa!?Amy, who was sitting behind the counter, saw Vanessa, and her eyes lit up. However, when she recalled her father’s words, she resisted the urge to greet her.
What a cute little girl.?Vanessa also noticed the small Amy behind the counter. It was a little girl in a cotton dress. Her two short legs dangled over the chair, swaying gently, and making her look very cute.
There was a round black-and-white pet beside her. It was lying on its back, sleeping soundly. It had a round face and large round eyes, making it look very cute.
“Hello, pretty big sister,” Amy said to Vanessa.
“Hello, you’re so obedient.” Vanessa smiled. She reached over and stroked the belly of the pet, and said, “He’s cute too.”
Ugly Duckling opened its eyes and glanced at Vanessa. After that, it continued to sleep.
“Mm-hmm. It’s just a little stupid, but everything else is fine,” Amy said with a nod.
“What pet is this? Is it a magic beast?” Vanessa asked curiously. It was too cute, and was just like the kitty that the little boss had called Ugly Duckling. If only she could have one as a pet.
“This is a panda. It is not a magic beast. It is an animal that sustains a living through acting cute.” Amy shook her head.
“Can acting cute sustain a living?” Abraham asked with a smile.
Amy propped her chin upon her hands, tilted her head, and said, “Fat Grandpa, Ay hasn’t eaten for three days, can you give me some monnies to buy some bread?”
“How much do you need? I’ll give you all I have…”
“Look, acting cute can also sustain a living,” Amy said with a smile as she shook the money pouch in her hand..
