Chapter 619 608. At the dance
Affected by the season, many industries have temporarily suspended their operations, and many nobles have withdrawn from the tedious family affairs and started to socialize a lot. In winter, the city of Bena is full of various dances, concerts, operas, salons, winter festivals, etc. hunting and so on.
Aristocrats tend to focus on communicating with each other during this time, deepening their relationship with each other, and even talking about marriages, various forms of cooperative alliances, etc. The biggest topic this year is whether the Benar Legion led by Duke Newman is still alive or not. There is no need to continue to stick to Handanar County on the Warsaw plane. Due to the war on the Warsaw plane, the Bena province needs to transport a large amount of supplies to Warsaw every month. Half of the elite troops in the Bena province are pinned down on the Warsaw plane. As a result, some private small planes of the local lords in Bena Province are frequently in emergency.
Due to frequent wars on the private plane of the local lords of Bena Province, Duke Ryan lost a large number of supporters in the imperial capital. , and began to discuss the plan for the whole year next year.
The main battle faction in Bena Province now occupies the absolute right to speak in the House of Representatives. Due to the victory of the Maca Plane War, it gave the lords of Bena Province great confidence. Today, the enthusiasm for war is unprecedentedly high, but a large part of the nobles insist that The most powerful troops in Bena Province should not be kept in Warsaw. Even if some resources are lost, the main force should be withdrawn from the Warsaw plane.
Although the Boothman family is a veteran aristocratic family in the Green Empire, what good will happen if they offend the royal family members? Although Prince James did not appear in public, the South Wind Legion and the Royal Knights withdrew everything against Booth in private. The support of the Man family means that for a long time in the future, the Busman family will not receive any other support from the Warsaw plane except for inviting the private troops of some small and medium lords to enter the Warsaw plane.
…
The Marquess of Luther House hosts several **** every winter.
As the aristocratic lord of the main battle faction in the province of Bena, and also a member of the House of Representatives of the city of Bena, the ball held by the Marquis of Luthor’s House gathered the top group of nobles in the city of Bena. After nightfall, many invited nobles rode magic The caravan comes dressed up.
The courtyard square in front of the castle was full of gorgeous magic caravans. At this time, there were still many magic caravans entering the residence of the Marquis Luther. The two butlers were responsible for coordinating the parking of the magic caravans and the dinner of related personnel.
There are guards all around the manor, and you can only enter the Marquis Mansion with an invitation letter from the Marquis Luther's Mansion.
The hall of the castle is brightly lit. Some nobles attending the ball will bring out young people from their families. They will make friends with young people from other families at the ball and gradually cultivate their own small social circle.
The Marquess Luther, Mrs. Marianne, and Mrs. Mabel stood in front of the hall to welcome the guests. Together with them, three daughters of Mrs. Mabel, three young ladies dressed in fancy dress, were watching those who came The young nobleman who participated in the ball had an irrepressible smile on his eyebrows.
In the past, Hathaway was usually the one who accompanied Marquis Luther to welcome the guests.
Hathaway didn't stand at the gate at this ball, some nobles didn't know why, and thought that the wayward Miss Hathaway fell out of favor in front of the Marquis Luther, and some noble ladies who didn't like Hathaway Quietly gloating in the hall, they waved small folding fans in their hands, talked softly, laughed loudly, and tried their best to maintain their ladylike posture.
When Hathaway walked down the stairs, the hall was already full of guests. Dozens of waiters shuttled through the hall carrying all kinds of exquisite food and wine. As long as there were guests with empty hands, the waiters would They came one after another with trays for guests to choose their favorite wines.
Suldak did not walk with Hathaway, he and Beatrice came to the hall one step ahead.
He just woke up and missed lunch and afternoon tea. He is currently empty and needs to fill his stomach with something. If he walks with Hathaway, he probably won't have a chance to eat at all.
Beatrice brought Suldak out first, and the two hid in a corner and ate a large piece of tiramisu and drank some apple juice. In order to prepare for this ball, Marquis Luther specially hired The top pastry chefs in Bena City came to make it on the spot. Suldak couldn't remember the last time he ate this delicious food.
Suldak was planning to put two lamb ribs in honey sauce on the plate, when the music in the hall gradually stopped.
The chatting guests also shut up one after another, and the hall became quiet, and everyone turned their attention to the second-floor terrace of the hall.
The Marquis of Luther stood in front, and the two ladies Marian and Mabel stood behind the Marquis of Luther. The Marquis of Luther leaned on the railing with both hands. , and then slowly walked downstairs holding the hands of the two ladies.
The ball officially began, and the Marquis Luther first danced an opening dance with Mrs. Marianne.
Just when many young nobles thought that Hathaway might fall out of favor, when the second dance music played, Marquis Luther took his daughter Hathaway into the dance floor. A group of nobles invited female guests to enter the dance floor, and the sound of music gradually …
The three daughters beside Mrs. Mabel pouted and looked at the dance floor with great resentment. Regarding the favoritism of their father, the Marquis Luther, the three ladies complained quite a lot on weekdays, but apart from being able to complain a few words at ordinary times, they could not give extra What to strive for.
Originally, the ball got off to a good start, but Marquis Luther took the three sisters to the door to greet the guests, which made the three girls feel that their spring might be coming, but when the ball started, Marquis Luther pulled Hathaway walked into the dance floor, making their hearts that were about to move were completely irritable.
Why do you want to dote on Hathaway so much? The sisters are not bad. Could it be because Hathaway has blond hair and blue eyes? Not convinced!
"Pay attention to maintaining a ladylike demeanor..." Mrs. Mabel stood beside her, telling her three daughters calmly.
At this time, of course, the low-level expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred cannot be shown.
The faces of the three young ladies who were about to cry without tears immediately squeezed out smiles, and the smiles were a little stiff.
But he lowered his head and discussed in a low voice, still talking about Hathaway.
"Why is it still her?"
"That's right! After so many dances, it's our turn. How can we be inferior to that cat-eyed bitch?"
"that is…"
Third daughter, you and I talked endlessly.
Even Mrs. Mabel was a little bored, she scolded with a straight face:
"Shut up, someone is coming, pay attention to your temperament, keep smiling at all times, don't always write your thoughts on your face!"
Sure enough, a curse is still useful, and the three ladies agreed silently:
"Got it, mother!"
The three ladies began to chase those handsome young nobles on the dance floor, but not all young people could catch their eyes.
…
After the song was over, there was applause from all around the dance floor.
Suldak walked up to meet Marquis Luther and Hathaway. Marquis Luther smiled and handed his daughter Hathaway's hand to Suldak.
It was only when the surrounding nobles began to notice Suldak, and everyone began to inquire about his origins in whispers. There were not many young people who could be recognized by the Marquis Luther, and the Marquis Luther personally handed over his favorite daughter to him. This heroic baron made everyone even more curious.
Marquis Luther stood by the dance floor, said a few words of encouragement to Suldak, and was surrounded by a group of other nobles...
This kind of ball is indispensable for this kind of entertainment. The Marquis Luther will be very busy all night, and there are even two adjutants by his side. What was promised at the ball, Marquis Luther claimed to be a nobleman who kept his word.
Seeing Suldak walking into the dance floor with his arms around Miss Hathaway's slender waist, Suldak's information was soon picked up.
Yes, the name Suldak is not unfamiliar to the ears of many nobles present, because they all signed their names and seals on a joint recommendation letter to His Majesty Charles. A knight named Suldak was exceptionally promoted to become a third-class noble baron. The reason was that he had made outstanding achievements and was a very rare paladin. He had mastered the magic perception of the holy department, which was equivalent to half a magician...
Although Marquis Luther compensated these nobles with a lot of resources for this joint recommendation letter, Baron Suldak did rely on them to become nobles.
So the name 'Suldak' spread to everyone's ears, and everyone knew that this young man was recognized by the Marquis Luther. No wonder he got so close to Hathaway.
While the nobles were talking about Suldak, a group of ladies got together and talked about Hathaway—as the most beloved daughter of Marquess Luther, she was not so perfect in the eyes of others, especially the upper class ladies. In the circle, the main reason is that Hathaway was very rebellious when she was studying at Benar Advanced Swordsman Academy. Marquis Luther had chosen a fiancé for her, and their marriage contract had already been confirmed.
It is said that it is a young baron in High Lansa City, named Sidney, who has no reputation, but the marriage contract was brokered by the Marquis Luthor and his good friend, Earl Mond Goss. Marquis Luther had also met Sidney, and he felt that this young man was not bad, aggressive, and talented in combat and command, but lacked experience and needed to be baptized in war. Marquis Luther thought he had a chance to become a lord, so That's what led to this engagement.
Almost all the nobles in Bena City know that Miss Hathaway does not recognize Baron Sidney. This matter has been going on for a long time, and it was later heard that Baron Sidney died in battle on the Warsaw plane...
In fact, nobles are still very concerned about this matter. Many people believe in the wheel of fortune. Some people are born with lucky stars, while others are born with lucky stars. Obviously, Miss Hathaway is not so lucky...There are always people who will be Hathaway's fiancé Let's talk about the death of the front line.
Now, seeing Hathaway and Suldak together, besides being a little bit unwilling in my heart, I always have to say: Look! The green grapes on that vine are sour.
