Chapter 160: The General's Son and the King's Daughter
The banquet held at the First General's Mansion was supposed to be a good place, but when Yueying and Lan Yue came to the door of the General's Mansion, they found that there were not many guests.
Of course, this is only relative, counting these two little guys, the number of guests is two or three hundred, but it is just a little inconsistent with the level of the general.
"It seems that I got together...... Didn't invite too many people. Blue Moon's beautiful emerald eyes looked strangely at Yue Sakura, who was looking straight ahead, muttering something in his mouth, and listening carefully, it was all something like "just laugh with your head up, don't talk less and don't mess around".
Lan Yue didn't have to guess, she knew that this must be the mantra that the maid taught Yue Ying how to deal with the aristocratic banquet, Yue Ying didn't use any aristocratic etiquette, and it would definitely not work if she learned and taught now, so she made up a slip for Yue Ying to remember so as not to be embarrassed.
The Blue Moon will know that it is because when she was a child and she couldn't learn aristocratic etiquette, Lala also taught it this way, which can be said to be in the same vein.
"Don't be nervous. Lan Yue laughed and said, "I'm here." β
"Don't be nervous, afraid of accidents. "Tsukizakura's whole body is stiff now, and he is starting to panic.
Blue Moon took Yueying's hand and began to walk towards the gate, "Actually, it's nothing, as long as someone comes over and invites me to dance, you can stand next to me." β
There is a welcoming servant at the gate to lead the way, and the two only need to follow, the general's mansion is too big, and it is easy to get lost without anyone to lead the way, even if you don't get lost, it will be embarrassing to accidentally go to some places that you shouldn't go.
Along the way, there were already some sharp-eyed young nobles who spotted Her Royal Highness the princess Lan Yue, but they didn't come up to say hello, but nodded and said hello when Lan Yue passed by. Today's protagonists are Omelik, and as aristocrats, they know when to flatter and when to keep their distance.
"Do you know what the theme of today's banquet is?" Blue Moon asked in a low voice while maintaining an impeccable business smile.
"There's a theme for eating?" Yueying's brain cells still can't understand that the banquet is not a meal, but a social activity, and sometimes it is normal for the guests and the host to have nothing to eat when there is a banquet. If Tsukizakura came alone, he would probably find a corner to fill his stomach, and then go home without even knowing what the host of the banquet said.
"Hmm...... Didn't I say yesterday that I was going to the athletic tournament, and Omelik was also a member of the team. Lan Yue looked around the banquet hall, trying to find a cleaner place to sit down, "He was also the leader of the previous two conferences. β
ββ¦β¦ Pledge meeting?"
"Almost?"
King Charles has only one heir, Blue Moon, and the athletic tournament is held every two years, so when the royal family is not old enough, other noble children will be the leader. And as the eldest son of General Orton, Omelik is undoubtedly the best choice. On top of that, he won once and finished second the one he didn't win β even though there were only four teams in the competition, they didn't get far behind.
Because of this, Blue Moon who led the team for the first time was under a lot of pressure, as a princess, she had to do better than Omaelik, not to mention winning, at least not last.
If she could, Blue Moon hoped that Tsukizakura could become a member of the team and be a guarantor. But unfortunately, the team members have already decided, and they can't change it, unless one of the team members has a temporary injury and something goes wrong...... And this chance, it's better to wash and sleep.
"Actually, I don't think it's good to do this before the game. β
"Why?"
"Look, the formation was so big before going out, wouldn't it be embarrassing to come back if you didn't get good results?" Lan Yue said suspiciously what was called cheering, but fortunately there were not many people around them, and his voice was deliberately lowered, "You should go out in a low-key manner, and come back to blow if you win!"
Tsukizakura looked directly at Blue Moon with a face of "I'm smart", and her mental activity was extremely intense. But because I couldn't make any expressions, I could only watch silently.
Sometimes, I really don't know if Blue Moon is stupid or shrewd, her intelligence curve jumps too fast, Yue Sakura is much better than Blue Moon in this regard, his intelligence curve is very smooth and straight, but the level has always been low.
When the guests in the banquet hall were almost all there, the host of the banquet finally appearedβthe wife of General Orton, Mrs. Cele.
There is no need to say more, as the actual controller of the entire General's Mansion, Mrs. Xilai already has a trace of non-angry and arrogant aura, she doesn't need to speak, just scan the banquet hall with her eyes, and the originally noisy hall quickly quieted down.
"Welcome to this banquet. Madame Seeley's voice was a little old, but that didn't stop the amplification magic from bringing her voice to every corner of the ballroom.
Yue Ying didn't pay attention to what Mrs. Xilai said, he was more concerned about the few guys with a little strength present, they were all young, and their strength was basically just promoted to level 5, not too strong, but they were already the best among their peers.
"Those people were the ones who were drafted in the high school. As the team leader, Blue Moon naturally recognizes the team members she wants to lead, but because she herself is a junior high school member, she only knows the names and origins of the members of the high school department, but it is enough to introduce them to Yue Sakura. "They are all elites, either in the top three of their grades, or they are powerful and powerful, and they can be said to be the strongest group of people in the school. β
For these seniors, Lan Yue admires them very much, after all, the ability is there, and there is no need to belittle his own team members.
"It's weak. However, Tsukizakura spat out two words that would make those elites angry.
Yue Ying could see that although the magic power of these elites was at the level of level 5, judging from their movements and body shapes, they were basically flowers in some greenhouses, and there were almost no people with actual combat experience. If you want to fight on both sides, Yueying can completely say "you guys are in a hurry together".
"You can't judge them by your own eyes. Lan Yue couldn't help laughing, "Even if you are a genius, this age is almost like this." β
Aristocratic families have funds and outlets, as long as they are not heirs with particularly poor qualifications, they will at least be level 5 or higher step by step, and ordinary people who want to upgrade to level 5 basically rely on talent - Lin Mingfeng is a good example.
Of course, there are still really powerful members of the High School, such as the son of General Orton who is now standing on top, Omelik.
As soon as he appeared, his graceful demeanor and outstanding appearance had already made most of the girls show their hearts, and the other nobles present were also all looking at him with praise, and Yueying once again saw the popularity of this child of a large family.
Force, intelligence, family, charisma...... Each value is 90 points upward, and the natural protagonist aura is blessed, impeccable, and cannot be picked.
"He's pretty good. "When I saw Omelik yesterday, Yueying didn't pay attention to the eldest young master, after all, it was not polite to look at people in front of people, and now that they were far away, Yueying could see Oumelik through. "Probably killed someone. β
"Can you see that?" Blue Moon said in amazement.
"It's not the same as having killed someone who hasn't. Tsukizakura wanted to explain, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't find a good wording, "Just ...... If you see more, you will naturally know it. β
Lan Yue shook her head and said, "You can't say this everywhere, killing people is a serious crime, even the general's son can't avoid it." β
"I know, I've killed too, and I'm still a wanted criminal. β
ββ¦β¦ Oh, too. β
The wanted warrant on the Imperial side has not been revoked, and the name of the wanted criminal is estimated to be carried for a lifetime, although the Odyssey is far away, this identity will always be known, which is one of the reasons why Moon Sakura does not show up much.
As Omelik's speech ended, the banquet officially began, and the nobles who had been suppressed for a long time immediately rushed to Omelik's side, and the situation reminded Tsukizakura of the chick running after the food.
As an outsider and a cooker, Yue Ying was only paying attention to the pile of food in front of him, the chef of the General's Mansion was very skilled, and the aroma of the food alone had already made Yue Ying's stomach protest, just when he wanted to pick up the fork, he suddenly found that his side was full of people.
"Hello. If a smile can be used as fuel, then Omelik's smile at this time can burn down an entire house, "Your Highness Princess, I wonder if I can invite you to dance together?"
Damn it.
Lan Yue cursed in her heart, while making a troubled expression on her face, "I'm not too good at dancing, and my companion-"
"I'm sure he won't care. Omelik looked at the sluggish Tsukizakura, and his perfect smile froze slightly, "And it looks like he's hungry." β
Because of the relationship between Omelik and the invitation, basically all the guests are paying attention here, and Tsukizakura's ridiculous and terrible face is being seen by the others, and some girls are already starting to whisper. Blue Moon couldn't hear what they were saying, but it was certainly not a good word.
"Since it was an invitation from my seniors, of course I have no reason to refuse. Blue Moon quickly stood up and put her hand on the palm of Omelik's outstretched hand, "Please also ask your seniors for more advice." β
There was no need for instructions, and when the two of them walked to the open space in the center of the banquet hall, the musicians of the General's Mansion consciously began to play, and the two young men were very skilled in dancing, and there was no need to mention anything, as long as they were close to each other, the dance began naturally.
Tsukizakura didn't know how to appreciate dancing, but he could see that the two of them worked well together, and their movements were smooth as if they had practiced for a long time. Tsukizakura can't dance, although he has good physical fitness and quick reactions, but if he really comes up and jumps, he will definitely step on his dance partner's feet. Just because you can swing a sword doesn't mean you can dance.
"A natural pair. β
"I'm so envious ......"
"If only I could dance with Omelikβ"
The nobles around him were talking in a low voice, and although they deliberately lowered their voices, Tsukizakura could hear them clearly.
It seems that it really danced very well.
Tsukizakura, who didn't have much idea, began to stuff a piece of cake in front of him into his mouth, he was really hungry.
