Chapter 236: My Princess
The endless night sky hangs high in the sky, and the stars twinkle each other. With a gust of autumn night wind, a nightingale flew over the dark and gray peaceful town, its obsidian pupils twitching twice, as if wondering why the castle was lit up like a beast.
Outside the castle gate, Haysja stood there, looking at the approaching crowd, she was a little absent-minded.
My father had returned, just in time for the day before his twentieth birthday. She remembered how happy she had been when she had seen her father last night. But just last night, when her father announced the date of her wedding, her mood hit rock bottom again at that moment.
A week, a week before she gets married? She didn't know if she really loved that man or not, all she knew was that she wasn't ready...... So, he told his father: "Dad, Pisa Guehi is not as good as I thought he was, I still haven't gotten to know him, I ...... I regret it a little. ”
At that time, Baron Hygivi, her father looked at her with exhaustion in his eyes. "My lovely daughter, marriage is like that. He said coldly, "This is already the best choice for our family." ”
At that moment, she saw her father's helplessness and father's self-blame, and at that moment, she was left with only complete distress in her heart. "I listen to you, Daddy......" At that time, she had countless things to say to the baron, but seeing his languid and tired expression, she finally buried them all in her heart.
At this moment, a cold wind mixed with the whispering of the nightingale blew into her blue dress, which she had worn the first time she had come to the town of Peace, and which she had worn again at her twentieth birthday party.
The silver-trimmed cuffs reflected her blonde hair, making her look less haggard.
Sleepless all night, she did look haggard before. Luckily, Sister Tory painted her the most delicate makeup. After putting on her makeup, she looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment......
And at this time...... In front of the castle gate, almost everyone was stunned!
The entire peaceful town knew that the young master of the town's family was going to marry a noble girl. But what they don't know is that this aristocratic girl is so beautiful!
Generally speaking, in the consciousness of all people, a girl from a noble family must be born very beautiful, this is the consensus of everyone on this continent, but ...... But...... You're not going to be ...... It's so beautiful!
Following the noble lady and the old butler Hodder, hundreds of people finally walked to the castle gate of the mayor's house.
Almost at the same moment, the hundreds of people turned their eyes on Hasjia almost at the same time! They exclaimed, they were surprised, they couldn't take their eyes off it.
Her elk-like eyes, long blond curls lazily draped over her shoulders, and her smile was like honey.
They thought to themselves - there are really people as beautiful as angels in this world!
Standing there, Haysjia was a little embarrassed by everyone, but he did not lose his aristocratic demeanor after all. Seeing her mother glaring at her, she immediately said to the crowd, "Welcome!" and she nodded and smiled at them.
However, she didn't notice the "blue hat" standing next to her mother with her head down.
Under the darkness of the night, Peake was indeed keeping his head down, as if hiding from something, hiding his face under the brim of his hat.
Smiling is the most important lesson in aristocratic etiquette, and Hasjia perfectly interprets the content of this lesson to the extreme.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and no one spoke, as if they were afraid that they would make a little noise and pollute the angelic smile.
After saying that, she felt that she had completed the task left to her by her mother, and with one hand she lifted the hem of her blue dress, and immediately turned around and walked back to the castle. She heard the footsteps of the guests behind her, but she couldn't be happy.
Today is my twentieth birthday, which should have been a happy day, but I can't be happy, yes...... What's there to be happy about, I didn't even prepare for a few days, and I hastily held this birthday party...... But...... I haven't had time to inform the sisters who are far away in the flower grassland!
Moreover, this dinner seems to be more than just to celebrate his twentieth birthday......
Recalling the unfamiliar faces one after another, she pursed her lips and walked into the hall of the castle with a light step.
The crowd was surging, and they walked into the castle.
In the castle hall, under the three huge crystal chandeliers, there are more than ten long tables, enough to seat two hundred people!
At this time, the castle was full of people, mostly servants preparing for dinner. They carried one delicious dish after another in their hands, and barrels of rum were hidden in all corners of the hall, ensuring that they were ready to serve at any time.
The feast didn't need to be announced, and Haysja saw the guests walk in, sit down on the lavish chairs, and begin to push their glasses.
Hayser had nothing to say about this situation, she had no sense of existence at all, and everyone seemed to only care about what was going on in their hearts. She was not in a hurry to return to the dinner table, but stood silently in the corner, and throughout the banquet, she felt that she had become the most superfluous person.
In fact, there is nothing to lose.
The space in the castle hall is several times larger than that of a typical hotel, and all kinds of luxuries abound: feather ornaments and leather-inlaid silver benches, several gilded lamps and candles, porcelain hand washbasins, whole roasted braised pigs in gold oil, a pile of pine wine filled with ice, plums, pears, bananas, cherries...... Dozens of fruits. Haysja looked at the countless foods in the hall, but he didn't have much appetite. These people are really edible, she thought as she watched.
On either side of the entrance to the hall and near each long table are one or two servants, who are responsible for cleaning the hands of the guests and guiding them to the bathroom.
At the innermost table sat his father, and his mother was there. Hasgar deliberately did not go there, for she saw a fat man who frightened her, whose face seemed to be buried in a pile of flesh, and who had glared straight at her with those frightening eyes when he had been at the castle gate. A face abandoned by the god of light, Hasja thought to herself. She turned her head away and hated her weakness. Why is she afraid of everything? She has to overcome this mentality.
The food supply here is completely sufficient, and since Sisoo visited the town of Peace ten years ago, no one has ever been able to hold a banquet of this magnitude. In the performance of singers and jugglers, people first enjoyed a variety of fruit appetizers, followed by crispy sauce-flavored mushrooms with boiling salt and finely minced onions and oily shiny rooster heads. Then came chunks of softly roasted fruit pies, mountains of sweet pastries, peas, salads, secret ham and smoked duck, and cups of rum ran onto the table and flowed into those fat lips. As for desserts, the castle's attendants and servants brought out a selection of pastries made by the castle's expensive pastry chefs, including brioche quiches, sugar snowballs, monster-shaped fruit cakes, crispy biscuits with jam, blackberry pastries, strawberries, apple crisps, buttery refined cheese, etc., which made Hasja a little excited, and now her mission was to return to her place and eat her own birthday dinner.
But she has to delay for a while, her father does not come to her, and she will never take the initiative to go over. She wanted to see when her father would notice her.
Couldn't help but start her gaze wander again. In her eyes, the guests enjoyed the food and wine in the castle, and some of them had begun to drink as if they had become a huge barrel, pouring them with great force. From time to time, they talked a few words and laughed from time to time. I don't know what to say, a shy maid is molested by a guest and blushes.
As the barrels on the floor became lighter, some of the guests spoke louder. They had drunk so much that the noise was so loud that she couldn't be at ease. A skinny transport merchant quarrels with a drunken clothing merchant over the origin of the rum, a guest who is drenched in alcohol and points at another guest's head and yells, someone who claims to have been a wandering poet for a while and stands on a chair and improvises, a bearded guy who doesn't know where to get a harp to play with, and most exaggeratedly, a little boy who is full of nonsense, who also drinks and doesn't know where the adults of his family have gone...... The little boy took off his pants directly in the hall and peed in the face of a drunk man who had slipped under the long table, and the drunk man shouted in confusion: "Drink! Fuck me more! Not enough! Pour! Pour! Good wine!", this funny scene was seen by many people, but they all tacitly did not make a sound of warning, and when the little boy was finished, they burst into laughter...... The farce ended when a fat woman took the little boy away.
Hayser silently weaved through the crowd, and when a drunkard saw him, he immediately said, "Hey, little girl, have a drink with Uncle!"
Syllable!
Immediately, a fist landed on the drunkard's face. "Beautiful noble lady, my friend has drunk too much, please forgive him......" A neatly dressed Chiya man said to Haysjia very respectfully,
He looked polite, but Haysja didn't bother to pay attention to him, for he had seen someone shouting at the man, "Hade Yows, you despicable fellow, you deceived me! I trust you so much! and you...... Despicable! You casinos are all a bunch of crooks! A bunch of naked crooks...... "He's a gambler, Hayser made the most basic judgment and left immediately."
After she left, the drunk man who had been punched immediately woke up and said to the red-haired man, "Hed Yaos, your heroic trick to save beauty doesn't work......"
Everywhere Hasjia went, there was a chaotic shout, and she thought to herself, this birthday party didn't belong to her!
Finally, it was her mother who found her, as if she knew what was on her mind, and the noble lady said: "It's not that your father ignores you, there are really a lot of things to be busy in the past two days, he only has a week, but he has to deal with the backlog of things in our territory for half a year, and he didn't sleep all night last night!"
Didn't Dad sleep all night? Hayser was a little surprised to hear this.
Yes, Dad finally came back once, and he will definitely have to deal with the things in those territories, and the mayor of Heping Town has been unwell recently, and Dad has prepared a birthday party for himself in his busy schedule...... "Then let's go back." ”
"Well, Mommy has prepared a birthday cake in the kitchen, and the servants should bring it to you when it's served!" she said to her with a smile as she pulled Haysja toward the innermost long table.
Finally, at the end of the long table, she sat down beside her father.
She looked at her father embarrassedly, only to find that his face was full of loving smiles. At this time, her heart warmed.
The birthday cake was brought up and placed in front of her.
Gently, she personally uncovered the paper cover on the cake, and for a moment, she was stunned.
I saw a few typings written on the birthday cake - Happy Birthday!
However, what stunned Haysjia was not the four words "Happy Birthday", but the thin small words hidden at the bottom - you must be happy...... My princess.
It can be seen that this line of fine small characters was added temporarily, not only is it written crookedly, but the font is still very ugly......
But...... After seeing this line of small words, it directly made the corners of Haysjia's mouth smile!
My Princess...... My Princess......
No one will call her my princess, not even her father......
No one will call her my princess, except the blue hat......
For a moment, Hayska's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked around in surprise and surprise......
