Chapter 3: The Ghost Maiden of Fort Savoie
Cheerful dance music resounded in the ballroom, and the musicians played bagpipes, trumpets, and lutes, accompanied by the rousing beat of the snare drum, and then converged into a magnificent music. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Don't think that the nobles in the high echelons will be so reserved at the dinner party, in fact, this is one of the few places where they can vent their suppressed energy.
The ladies and ladies found their acquaintances, and spoke eagerly and freely about the handsome men at the banquet, while the men gathered together to drink and boast of their exploits, and if one aroused the anger of the other, it would soon be a full-fledged martial deed.
And for such rude behavior, Mrs. Rebecca will not only not blame, but will praise it. This was due to the martial ethos of the Duchy of Erosa, and whenever the nobles quarreled, the children and women would blush and cheer loudly for their supporters, which further fueled the passion of the bull-like aggressive men.
Cecilia looked at the commotion that erupted in the corner of the banquet hall, and she frowned her delicate brow slightly with displeasure. She wasn't unhappy with the rude behavior of the men, but because the original plan had gone awry.
She envisioned that the first song of the party should be co-led by her and Charlotte, who should be the center and center of the whole party, but all of this was messed up by the aggressive guys. Now, the entire banquet hall was fascinated by the men's battle, and even if Cecilia, the host, stepped in to quell the strife, the atmosphere had been completely ruined.
"What a nuisance, can't they just be a little patient and wait until I'm done leading the dance?"
Cecilia and Charlotte have known each other for 4 years, and despite Charlotte's shortcomings, the education she has been exposed to since she was a child has made Cecilia regard for the naughty child as her only one.
She may not understand what love is, but she already knows that the boy is the one who will be with her for the rest of her life in the future. The two of them are childhood sweethearts, but they have never danced a dance music since they were young, so it seems strange to think about it, right? By the way, it seems that who has heard that Charlotte can't dance at all......
"Hee-hee, take this opportunity to test it out. Since it's my birthday, Charlotte probably won't refuse to dance with me in the little garden!"
Thinking like this, Cecilia's depressed mood has a little high-spirited tendency. She searched for Charlotte's whereabouts with her ruby eyes, and then noticed that not only Charlotte, but also Mrs. Rebecca seemed to have left the banquet hall at some point.
"He can't be caught by Madame, right?"
Thinking of this, Cecilia was a little worried about that guy again. Although he had done some humiliating stupid things the day before yesterday, since he had been attacked to buy a gift for himself, it could be regarded as a reason for the incident! As soon as Cecilia thought of this, she couldn't bear it anymore, and she trotted out of the banquet hall with her complicated skirt and crystal heels.
After searching several rooms, Cecilia couldn't find Charlotte, and just when she was secretly anxious, she noticed that a guy was sneakily holding a cup by the door of the parlor, and pressed his ear to the rim of the cup. He seemed to notice Cecilia's approach, and with a slight roll of his azure eyes, he beckoned Cecilia to come over.
Miss Cecilia, the protagonist of the birthday party, pouted unhappily, and in order to avoid a riot, she tried to tiptoe to Charlotte's side, and then pulled Charlotte with a reproachful expression, she felt that it would be too rude to make such an eavesdropping act as a pure-blood nobleman!
"Summer, Loe, T, be careful that I complain to Lady Rebecca, I want you to get me out of here immediately, immediately, it's unseemly......!
Before she could finish speaking, Charlotte covered her mouth. The sudden gesture of intimacy made Cecilia's ears hot, and her cheeks, which were slightly charming, had become as red as her hair.
"Shhhhhhhhh
Perhaps because of the disparity in strength, Cecilia, who was half-held by Charlotte, felt weak, and she passively let her fiancé fiddle with it, and when Charlotte took out another wide-mouth cup from her arms and touched the cold mouth to her hot earlobe, this action immediately made her slender body tremble like an electric shock. Then, the faint sound from the mouth of the cup quickly aroused her curiosity again.
"That is to say, the alarm bell of Fort Savoie was suddenly sounded the morning before yesterday?Hehe, who rang it, Dinah was very curious! The blood of the seeker of knowledge is almost irrepressible!"
"No, Master Dinah, it would be fine if all this was really man-made, but in fact, as soon as the bell rang, I ordered a thorough investigation of the entire bell tower. However, all evidence indicates that no one approached the alarm bell in the three days of the incident. ”
This must be Mrs. Rebecca's voice, although it sounds a little distorted from the mouth of the cup, but just listening to the tone and look can be sure that it must be Madame. Cecilia glanced curiously at the cup in Charlotte's hand, completely unaware that a single cup would allow them to hear their conversation behind the thick wooden door.
"Hee-hee, although the spell that is delayed for three days is a bit difficult, it is nothing to a mage with a little attainment! If it is Dinah, she can casually make the alarm bell of Sava Fort ring every day! Little Rebecca, do you want me to try it?"
"Then let's get it. And with all due respect, even Master Dinah may not be able to do this, do you two think that the alarm bell of Fort Savoie is a pile of unprotected scrap copper? It is a bronze bell cast by Claudien's ancestors himself, and it would be too much to underestimate the glory of the ancestors if they wanted to casually apply some magic tricks on it!"
"Although Dema has heard of Claudien's prestige, she thinks that in a low-demon era like the Annihilation Crisis, your ancestor may not be so great. ”
The implication is that even if Claudine comes back to life, Dema will not encourage him. But after hearing Dema's lofty words, even Rebecca, who is quite deep in the city, couldn't help but feel angry, the fault was not the lack of strength, Rebecca really wanted to give this old witch who relied on the old and sold the old a slap. She took a deep breath so that she wouldn't put her thoughts into action, and then continued.
"Oh, that's funny, and if anyone can do anything about the alarm bells of Fort Savoie, then why did the two of them rush to Erosa from Icewind Castle in the northeast after learning about it?
"Both, if we continue to play dumb riddles like this, then I don't think there is any need for us to talk about it. As for the Savoie Fort, it will naturally be able to be resolved when my husband returns from the front. It's also a legendary-level existence, and I don't think my husband is a few points weaker than the two. ”
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and then Dema's voice was heard.
"Yes! We have maintained friendship for thousands of years, and there is really no need for useless diplomatic rhetoric. It's just that before that, Dema thinks it's right to solve the two eavesdropping amoeba protozoa first!"
Cecilia, who was eavesdropping, instantly turned pale, her mind was blank as she had never experienced it before, and she was pulled by Charlotte in a trance, and was just about to follow Charlotte to turn around and run away. At this moment, the door to the parlor had been opened by Mrs. Rebecca. Rebecca, who had been gentle and amiable, had a gloomy face at the moment, and she first glanced at Cecilia, and then stared at Charlotte for a moment.
"Xia, Luo, Te, you're getting bolder, I haven't bothered you yet, you still dare to come forward!"
Cold sweat trickled down her forehead, and even Charlotte, who was known as the little prince of death, couldn't help but panic when she looked at her mother, who had a gloomy expression and was as terrifying as a lioness.
"It's this abyssal maggot again! Looks like Dema has to punish him this time!"
"No, no, no, sister, sister, such an interesting game project, please leave it to Dinah to complete!"
"Wow, three, three! You still have confidential things to discuss, so don't bother the little ones! Run-"
As she spoke, Charlotte took advantage of the fact that before the three big people could react, she pulled Cecilia and stumbled out of the corridor.
"Huhuhu...... It's all you, and now it's over, Lady Rebecca must be angry with me!"
After running out of the two aisles, Cecilia stroked her small breasts, gasping breathlessly and complaining to Charlotte. The latter's face did not show panic at all, but a pair of blue eyes sparkled, like a child who had discovered some interesting toy, full of strong inquiry.
"Don't say that, Cecilia, aren't you curious? Clayderman is known as a thousand-year-old alarm bell, and even the first seat of Icewind Castle is alarmed. Think about it, what's going on in Fort Savoie right now, bringing the three of them together? Hehehe, I always feel like a new copy is calling me!"
"What's the matter with the dungeon? I don't know what you're talking about, Charlotte, I warn you, since it's a topic that even the three big men have to discuss carefully, you don't get into it lightly. Otherwise, if you lose your life, or ruin Mrs. Rebecca's plan, you'll be in for it!"
Charlotte stroked her hair and put on a sassy expression, smiling so bright that her front teeth were exposed.
"Don't worry! Uncle Charlotte didn't die so easily, but I'm also a man with a golden finger!haha...... Hey, that sister, come here!"
As he spoke, he greeted a young girl dressed as a maid. The latter first looked around and made sure that Charlotte was calling him before he came over with a sad face and trembling on his legs unwillingly.
"Young Charlotte, young master, please, what are your orders?"
She was Mrs. Rebecca's valet and asked her to stay out of the aisle because she was having a secret conversation with her guests.
"Am I that terrible?, sister maid, tell me, what has happened to Fort Savoie lately, besides the bells?"
Under normal circumstances, the maid does like the young master Charlotte who has no shelves. However, there are exceptions, such as when Mrs. Rebecca gave the gag order, and being bumped into by Charlotte was simply the worst nightmare.
"But, but...... Madame said......"
"Leave Mom alone! I'll know if I go back and ask anyone, won't I? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!"
The poor little maid turned her little head and thought that this was indeed the case. This was like a spy against Charlotte's ear, and Cecilia snorted unhappily when she saw this.
"A ghost girl dressed in red has appeared in Savoie Castle......"
At that moment, Charlotte felt that the fire of her gossip was already burning.
