"First target."
Xia De thought in his heart.
Little Philip went straight to the three people at the door. After the handsome young gentleman greeted Princess Adelina with a smile, he asked in a very exaggerated tone:
"Oh, it's His Excellency Hamilton? You brought it. What kind of gift is this? Did Duke Galina help you choose it?"
This was an obvious provocative behavior. Unexpectedly, when he finished speaking and looked at Xia De again, he found that instead of being angry, Xia De's eyes lit up, and he looked a little excited.
【What mood are you in? 】
"She" asked in Shad's ear with a chuckle.
"I've been in this world for so long, and I finally met this kind of low-IQ person! Let me just say, how can everyone in this world be so rational! I finally met this kind of person."
The outsider immediately felt it. Although he knew that the other party was provoking him because of Miss Galina, he was still willing to respond:
"Who is this…"
He pretended not to know him and asked Chi, and the people who noticed the movement at the door immediately gave the answer:
"Your Excellency Hamilton, this is the eldest son of Marquess Philip, Daniel Philip."
Xia De nodded, pretending to understand the reason for the other party's provocation
"It turned out to be... Then this gentleman, what did you send?"
Shad himself has the title of knight, so he can be called "Your Excellency", but little Philip has not yet inherited the title, so he is called "Sir".
The brown-haired young man also understood the meaning of his words, but still replied with a smile:
"I just came back from the New World last month and brought a top-quality ruby mined from the New World. I asked the craftsman to polish it and present it to Her Highness Adelina."
When he smiled, he was able to show his eight teeth perfectly. While talking, he took out a red velvet box from his pocket. After opening it, it was indeed a very good-looking ruby.
Agelina intended to say something for Shad, but Dorothy, who saw that Shad was a little excited at the moment, pulled her lightly. The little princess looked at Dorothy suspiciously, not because she was surprised by her behavior, but because she felt like her older sister.
"It's a beautiful gemstone, but it doesn't seem to be as big as the pearl I gave Queen Diana last year."
Xia De also replied with a smile, and the people who noticed the "conflict" here immediately said:
"Yes, the pearl that Hamilton took out last year was in the shape of a perfect sphere, half the size of a fist, and Queen Diana often took it out to admire it."
This is an acquaintance Shade knew from playing Rhodes.
"I thought it was a bit too cliché to always give gems and diamonds and stuff, so I brought this this time."
Xia De said and pointed behind him.
Daniel Philip blinked. He has been in the New World all year round, so he didn't know much about last year's banquet, so he decisively brought the topic back:
"Your Excellency Hamilton, why don't we see what Miss Galina has chosen for you?"
"No, no, I swear in the name of Mister Liming, I found this myself."
Xia De said, and then asked the little princess:
"Your Highness, look..."
"Then let me also take a look at what kind of gift Hamilton of Legerd has brought."
With Agelina's permission, the wooden box containing the statue was quickly opened, and then the slightly twisted posture made Ban Guo's body form a very harmonious and graceful statue with a broken arm in a spiral rising posture. Presented in a brightly lit banquet hall, under the illumination of crystal chandeliers and gas lamps, it was shown to all.
"It is said that this is a statue excavated from ancient ruins. Although it looks a little old, and there is no master's name to set it off, I think its artistic level is enough to be worthy of Her Royal Highness."
He said softly, and the people around lowered their voices and discussed the statue in a low voice. Adelina blushed a little
Looking at Shade's birthday present, Dorothy pursed her lips and looked at the statue. She really wanted to keep it, but she couldn't **** her sister's birthday present either.
As for Daniel Philip, he opened his mouth slightly and looked at the statue. The only point of criticism of this gift is that it is an anonymous statue without a maker, but this point has already been raised by Shad himself. No one with taste would doubt the artistic sense of this statue, so he pursed his lips and said to Xia De:
"What a nice gift."
"I thought he would talk to me a few more words, and I was ready to throw out my white gloves."
After a while, Dorothy walked into the banquet hall holding Shad's arm, and the statue that had aroused people's discussion was temporarily moved to a separate gift storage room. Listening to Xia De's words, Dorothy looked at Xia De like a big boy:
"I really don't know why you are so excited today. Adelina is seventeen years old, is it so exciting?"
According to the plan, the two would go directly to Leiziya, and neither of the two girls wanted to waste a single minute of the precious Red Butterfly Day. But when I saw Rezia, she was accompanying Queen Diana, talking to two ladies in front of the banquet hall, in front of the huge oil painting of the previous king, and Xia De was standing beside her. Raphael Birmingham, the son of the Duke of Birmingham seen in Director Anros's photo.
"Oh, look who's here? Hamilton of Reggie, the door seemed very busy just now, what are you doing?"
Queen Diana smiled and asked Xia De to come over, and then took the initiative to explain:
"Shad, this is the Duchess of Birmingham."
The lady with a snow-white chest and a pearl necklace nodded slightly and looked at Xia De.
"This is Raphael Birmingham, the Duke's eldest son. Speaking of which, you are about the same age, so you may have something in common."
Raphael Birmingham also has red hair, but the color is far less conspicuous than the Cavendish family. The family is distantly related to the royal family, and it is said that their hair is red because of this.
"Second target."
The rather gentlemanly little Birmingham shook hands with Xia De, and Xia De also introduced his female companion Dorothy tonight. People have heard of the fame of this female author, and with the publication of "Hamilton's Detective Stories" in Carson Riek in the Southland, Dorothy may not be the most famous female author, but she is certainly the fastest-earning female author of this century. Fast female writer.
Mrs. Birmingham left with Mr. Birmingham Jr., while Queen Diana continued talking with Dorothy. Leiziya gave Xia De a helpless look, and it seemed that they would delay here for a while.
The atmosphere of the banquet was quite lively. Although His Majesty the King did not attend, people could still appreciate the importance the royal family attached to this birthday banquet. A large cake with nine layers is placed in the middle of the banquet hall, and the champagne tower is dotted with "landscape" around it. When the guests were almost here, Miss Galina also appeared here, together with Queen Diana, Rezia and several other princesses, surrounded Adelina and asked the little princess to thank the guests for their arrival.
At this moment, Dorothy finally bid farewell to the queen and stood beside Xia De. Xia De wanted to say a few words to Dorothy, but someone behind him softly called Xia De's name:
"His Excellency Hamilton."
Turning around, I saw the third contact person tonight, Mr. Henry Marfar, the son of the Duke of Marfar. The somewhat short young man said to Xia De in a low voice:
"Sorry to bother you, would you like to play Rhodes later?"
"Um?"
Xia De was stunned for a moment before reaching out to shake hands with him. Seeing Dorothy looking at him with scrutiny and "warning" eyes, he immediately said:
"I won't play tonight, I have other things to do."
Although Mr. Mafar was a little disappointed, he still nodded:
"That's really a pity, but that's right, business matters. I look forward to meeting you at the poker table in the future, so I won't bother you."
He politely said goodbye and left
, and so far, Xia De has also contacted all three possible marriage partners of Agelina, and has a preliminary impression. Daniel Philip is conceited and arrogant, because of Miss Galina's incident, he is implicated in hostility. Shadrafael Birmingham is humble and kind~www.mtlnovel.com~ He looks like a qualified gentleman. Henry Mafar seems a little shy, but Love playing Rhodes and…
Shard looked in the direction Mr. Mafar left, and found that he had joined a beautiful brown-haired girl, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very close.
"And it seems that I already have an object of love."
Of course, no matter what happens to the three of them, the most important thing tonight is the day of the red butterfly.
After Adelina thanked the visitors for their arrival, with the melodious sound of the violin playing, this rather grand birthday party officially began.
Xia De took Dorothy to find Agelina again. Taking advantage of Queen Diana's temporary absence, Agelina led the two out of the banquet hall and turned into the rest area above the banquet hall. According to Rezia's request, she arranged the innermost room for them. Before Rezia arrived, Xia De and Dorothy came one step ahead.
Adelina dilly-dally opened the door for them with her key, but blocked the door and did not let the two of them go in. Instead, she turned around and said softly:
"Xia De, thank you for your birthday present, I like it very much."
Dorothy watched this scene with a smile on the side, but she didn't feel much. Xia De shook his head, looked left and right, made sure that there was no one in the corridor, and only then told the mission of Director An Luosi more than an hour ago.
The little princess nodded to show that she understood, and she took the initiative to write the report for Xia De. At this time, another door diagonally across the corridor opened.
Tifa, wearing a black and white maid dress, came out of the room:
"Mr. Hamilton, can you spare some time? The lady wants to talk to you."
