C 16 : Bordeaux Glass

After madan mulie left then came the history teacher alexobo.

He is very tall among the teachers i saw so far. He is 6.9 foot tall. Standing in a podium feels like he is overlooking all of us as if insignificant little bugs.

'How this guy waste his life behind books not sword, which seems to be perfect for this giant like figure. 'Aetius thought amazingly.

However, the moment he entered the class, he started to teach us about history solemnly . Aetius lost his interest and didn't mind hearing anything at all.

Who knows how many lie they added in those history books.The only way to know the true history is to learn your country's history from other country's perspectives and compare them.

After history teacher,then came the teacher of the etiquette class, madam Mesina.She walk gracefully to the podium like a proper noble lady and motioned the students to sit down with a lovely smile stuck in her face.

Etiquettes classes, as the name suggests, it teaches the students about noble circle sophistic behaviours and traits. Which will help you to get mix in those elites society like a pro.

Nonetheless, in this school around 90 percent students has a nobel background or a rich family which has some connection with with nobel family's. Children's of the noble family are taught about a proper noble behaviour from an early age. There are a lot of nobel family rules and regulations. From waking up to going to the bed, a proper nobel will follow his or hers life following these rules and sophisticated behaviours.

Though it is very arduous and seemingly nonsensical from the perspective of the Aetius, but to the noble family members, it is thier pride. This helps them to draw a line from them to the lowly peasant who has no sense of etiquette at all.

Ordinary people have live thier live working hard for their own survival all the time. They have no time to focus on this etiquette which will not feed thier hungry stomachs.

While lost in those Miscellaneous thoughts, he hear a sweet but moderated voice.

Mesina :My dear students, How you all have been?

Students shouted in unison : Thanks mam, we are fine.

Mesina smiled and said, " Okay, Yesterday learned how to pour wine in a bordeaux glass or simply a wine glass and swirl it like a professionals do. So today we will witness how to hold a wine glass.

She motioned outside the class and a servant come to the classroom with a silver tray. This tray has a chilling wine bottle, some ice cubes and a bordeaux glass. After placing the tray in front of the madam, he give saluted her and left.

Hmm it is a coldriver ant wine. This wine is very expensive . It costs around 300 gold coins per bottles . This wine is made from a giant ants blood. I wonder when i can have taste of this kind of luxury wines.

Mesina looked all of the students and called a student, " Malena von kursk habss lorn arum de steins, come forward and do exactly what i did yesterday. "

Melena is roll number 4 in this class. She is part of a very powerful noble family known as The Steins family.

Steins family has a tragic past. Just 40 years ago, they were a powerful marquis rank family of this kingdom. But they fell from to the bottom rank of the noble family rank known as baron family.

The reason for their current state is a mistake to choose a king participant. As you can guess, their family back then decided to support a prince who failed to seize the throne from his brother. As a result after loosing their bet, they were demoted to the baron rank.

In this worlds noble family rules, barron's can have a town and its surrounding villages as their fief to rule. Whereas viscount family can have a city and its surrounding towns and village under their control. Current steins family is adjacent to the colos family, so they reluctantly follow them. Even so they still has the arrogant marquis behaviours to this day.

Melena's father is the son of a elder of the steins family. She had a great arrogant aura around her. You can hear her boast about her families glorious past all the time.

Melena came to the wine bottle with a ugly face and speak loudly,

"This low quality ant wine is something i would never even bother to smell. I personally prefer high-quality rose skin tortoises blood wine known as 'Hardborne bloodrosa wine ' not something you can buy in this poor city." saying so she puffed her small chest in a domineering manner.

Hearing this some students who have noble family background and elite background become angry. How dare she look down at a viscount family city though her family at the bottom of the ranks of the nobles who own a cheap town?

Aetius was feeling laugh but he suppress it with sheer will. Melena noticed it from the corner of her eyes.

Even though Steins family has fallen from the top to the bottom, but they still had a lot of previously accumulated wealth and connections.

It is also rumored that they are secretly planing to support a prince for the upcoming new king selection as the current king is seriouslis old and also ill now.

This current king is the reason for their misfortune, so they are definitely praying for his death!

Melena looked at the madam and said, " Okay madam i will start to demonstrate."

Medam mesina nodded to her to continue.

She poured the wine in bordeaux glass and filled one third of glass and swirled it gracefully.

A simple procedure but this nobles make it as though a important noble etiquette.

What a bullshit are those noble upto! Aetius muse in disdain.

Madam mulie congratulated her for her perfect demo and tell her to go to her sit.

" Holding a wine glass is a very important act in a party. It will easily tell others about your noble etiquette and classic behaviour. There are mainly 4 ways to hold a wine glass. First is holding a wine glass as if a normal glass.It is strongly prohibited to do so. If you really do like this, it will seem not sophisticat but rather seem like a poor behaviour. It will make you a laughingstock in the noble class. They will tell you that a lowly peasant had entered in their party. so never hold a wine glass like this! "

Except a few, the students started to laugh. Madam than continue on her teaching,

"Another way to hold the wine glass is to hold it from the bottom curvy glass part in your palm, where the stem will be inside in 2 of the your 4 fingers . This way of holding is done mostly by the aristocrat women's . But i warn you, if you want to drink your wine cold, you must not hold it this way as it will increase the glass temperature."

She demonstrate it while telling.

I rolled my eyes and started to think, god knows what else will come next.

" The next style to hold a wine glass is to hold it in the stem. It is very famous which will make you look like a professional. I personally prefer to hold this way."

She demonstrate it like this and took a small sip of the wine.

"Last way of holding a bordeaux glass is to hold it from the base. Some professional like to hold it this way to stand out amongst the crowd of nobles."

After that she talked about her last ballroom bordeaux glass holding experience and then left.

These nobles makes me wonder how many classy rules they have!
