After dinner.

Lynn took Kari and sat in front of the fireplace burning anthracite.

The heat emitted, the comfortable temperature, made Kari's cheeks show a flush of red.

Sitting in the leather chair, Kari stretched lazily, the white curves in front of her gently swaying.

She couldn't help but sigh, "I should have known not to go to Triumph City..."

"In weather like this, it's most comfortable to curl up at home and roast by the fire!"

Lynn raised an eyebrow and asked, "Miss Kari... did you go to Triumph City?"

Kari didn't think much before continuing, "Yes, Yuna, the daughter of Mitchell Carolin, held her coming-of-age ceremony, and as a trade partner of the Karedi Empire royal family, naturally I was invited to attend."

"And I am the most easygoing and talkative among my siblings..."

Saying this, Kari glanced at Lynn, "Just so happened that I had just come to the Karedi Empire and had quite a good relationship with Yuna when I was young, so it became me who attended Yuna's coming-of-age ceremony."

Lynn nodded, without continuing to inquire further.

Indeed.

With the topic opened, Kari couldn't help but sigh.

"There are so many nobles and great lords in Kaldi, but unfortunately I can't be everywhere at once!"

"Otherwise, with my wisdom, I'd ruthlessly earn Gold Pounds from them."

"Now the weather has turned cold again, perhaps in a while, the river in the Gibraltar Strait will freeze, making it even harder for long ships to pass..."

As Kari spoke, footsteps sounded from not far away.

Lynn turned to look, only to see Kuisi walking over with a bottle of wine and two wine glasses.

In the transparent glazed bottle, gold-colored wine swayed gently.

It was the distilled spirits produced by Lexus distillation.

Kuisi sensibly placed the wine glasses on the coffee table and poured wine for Lynn and Kari.

Immediately.

The rich aroma of alcohol wafted into Kari's nose and mouth, pausing her words as she turned to look.

"Such fragrant wine!"

Kari picked up the wine glass and looked at it for a few moments, with no reservation, smelling it before her rosy lips.

Soon after, she parted her rosy lips and sipped, leaving a red mark on the glazed cup.

In an instant.

Kari's eyes widened, full of surprise.

She looked at Lynn, her words full of curiosity as she asked, "Master Lynn, what kind of wine is this? It's so strong!"

The wine flowed down her throat, as hot as magma, warm and fiery, yet without a hint of sting to the nose.

Lynn calmly replied, "Lexus Gin, distilled from my brewing workshop."

"Does it taste nice?"

After drinking an entire cup of gin, Kari nodded and said, "Very nice! Absolutely nice! I just love drinking strong wine, riding fierce horses!"

"Compared to your Lexus Gin, some of the wines at Yuna's coming-of-age ceremony were plainly like water, bland and tasteless!"

Amid her words.

Kari looked at Kuisi, signaling her to pour another glass.

Kuisi instantly understood and thoughtfully poured more gin for her.

Watching Kari eagerly tasting again, Lynn reminded, "Drink less, the gin is quite high in alcohol content, easy to get drunk."

With a gulp, Kari flashed a smile, "Master Lynn, you may not yet know my drinking capacity, but it doesn't matter..."

"Let me introduce you, I have a great record of drinking everyone under the table at a tavern in the Elfini Empire!"

"I have always drunk wine as if it were water!"

Finishing her words, Kari once more extended the hand holding the wine glass towards Kuisi.

Lynn slightly raised an eyebrow, glanced at Kuisi, letting her keep pouring for Kari.

Under the glow of anthracite and oil lamps, like a golden liquid, it flowed from the glazed bottle mouth.

Drawing a brief arc in mid-air, falling into Kari's wine glass.

With three cups down, Lynn could clearly see Kari's fair and delicate face growing increasingly red.

It could even be described as rosy-red glowing through white.

Not far behind Kari.

A sturdy female guard stared straight at this scene.

Though a bit concerned about Kari's condition, realizing it was her master Kari who requested to drink.

Everything at present seemed still normal, the female guard could only choose to wait quietly.

Lynn picked up the wine glass, drank a sip, the familiar warmth of gin flowing into his body.

Putting down the wine glass, Lynn looked at Kari, "If Miss Kari likes it so much, when you leave, I can gift some gin for Miss Kari to take."

Listening to Lynn's words, Kari, her face reddened, eyes shone brightly, "Master Lynn, I am so grateful."

"Compared to that woman Yuna, you are indeed generous!"

"It's been years since we last met, I made great efforts to go to Triumph City to celebrate her birthday, even gifting her a present."

"When I left, that awful woman didn't even send me off."

"Directly had her personal guard tell me she was too busy, couldn't spare the time!"

Lynn said nothing, quietly listening.

Kari continued speaking, "How could I not know what she's busy with?"

"Busy finding a husband to gain military support for her father Mitchell!"

The female guard behind noticed Kari was speaking more and more.

She stepped forward to Kari's side, bending her leather-armored body, reminding, "Miss, you've drunk a bit too much..."

Kari upon hearing, somewhat displeased, replied, "Nonsense, I've only had three glasses."
