Chapter 40
This is Chester's birthday party, as the protagonist of course he is late, basically everyone will appear after he arrives, the banquet hall of the people arrived one after another, the scene began to become lively, although all the people present today are people with fame, status and status, but because there is a special purpose today, the atmosphere is very tense, many people see other people as opponents, there is a faint atmosphere of sabre-rattling.
"Look at the daughters of the Jude family, this dress, today is to choose the queen, and it is not a slave girl at the slave auction, what are they wearing, they are showy, but I am disgusted."
"That's right, I'll put up with it if I'm good-looking, but I still dress up like that and dress up like this, it's really ugly and weird, and my majesty is not blind."
"Hey, there's no way, their mother died early, and now it's their stepmother who cares about them, how good can they teach? If it weren't for the fact that her daughter was not yet an adult, it is estimated that her stepdaughters would not be able to come today. ”
"Hey......"
"By the way, I've heard that your Buddy has a good chance of being chosen."
"Where did you hear about it?" Although he said this, he could hear it very happy in his tone.
"Where is this still to say that he won the first place in the national debate tournament this year, but His Majesty praised him personally, and a discerning person knows that His Majesty likes him very much."
"But I've heard that His Majesty likes Kane more."
"How is it possible, Kane never leaves His Majesty's body every day, but if His Majesty really wants him to be the queen, where will he be his personal guard, it's too much."
"That's right."
……
Before the protagonist arrived, the hall was getting more and more lively, and then at the gate came the popular candidate for today's queen - Corunna.
Corona is not a top beauty, but she has a good temperament, plus she has grown up by Ivey's side since she was a child, and has been in contact with many royal family members.
So her voice is very high, originally there was Lucia in front of her, but now the strongest opponent is gone, she is the most optimistic candidate for queen, after all, Chester's father and grandfather are still alive, and he will definitely be influenced by his elders after the election, everyone thinks so.
Even Corona herself thinks so.
In fact, she really didn't think she would marry into the royal family before, her parents died early, and just one of her daughters, she inherited the title when she was seven or eight years old, a little girl really doesn't understand anything, if it weren't for Ivey later, she would definitely not have a good life, staring at her relatives don't know how many, everyone wants to be her guardian.
When she was panicked and helpless, Ivy appeared, giving her a stable and happy life, although she was only an earl, but she had close contacts with the nobles, and many people told her that she would marry well in the future, and there were many suitors, and even a duke had a good impression of her.
She often worries about this when she becomes an adult, and she doesn't know who to agree to the pursuit, so it dragged on for several years, she thought that according to Ivey's love for her, she would definitely give her a suitable plan and arrangement, but Ivey never introduced her to a partner, just as a junior to love.
Corona was also worried for a while, thinking that Ivy didn't love her as much as she imagined, but she took special care of her when she was young and had no parents, and then she had a new idea when she heard the rumors of the queen.
Maybe Ivy kept her with her as a granddaughter-in-law, so he didn't introduce her to others for a long time.
Although Ivy never said that, but many people around him talked about it, and after a long time, Corona slowly changed from doubt to belief, she became more confident, and gradually paid attention to her gestures.
And to be honest, Chester is really good-looking, and it is inevitable that he is a normal woman, and he is the queen, so he will definitely be ready to move if he talks too much.
However, Corona is not Lucia, she did not dote on her parents, so she has known how to observe words and emotions since she was a child, she is very well-behaved and generous, and she is definitely the most perfect lady model in everyone's minds, and she is very loved by her elders.
Even if many people at the scene had looked at her with envy, jealousy and hatred, she did not waver in pride at all, and she was extremely steady and unfazed at all times.
"See, I see that Bacheng is Coruna, just look at her like that, she is full of confidence, how diligent she has been running to Baizixing recently."
"What, she's usually been so steady, how can she be full of confidence, don't talk nonsense, she's not the kind of arrogant girl, if Her Majesty really likes her, it's pretty good, I looked around, she belongs to the most queenly style, atmospheric, if you don't choose her to be the queen, I want to introduce her to my nephew, who doesn't like such a girl."
"Your eldest nephew is married, only the younger nephew remains, and he will not be able to inherit the title in the future, Corona may not be able to look at it, she herself is an earl, and her grandfather left a lot of property, what about your nephew? Don't be whimsical. ”
"Tsk, look at what you said, I know at a glance that she is not the kind of girl who hates the poor and loves the rich, my nephew is motivated and handsome, and his father is also a marquis, so he is not worthy of her."
"That also depends on the comparison, it was originally your majesty, but now it's your nephew, and it's her, are you willing? Put yourself in their shoes, okay? ”
"You're going to quarrel with me, aren't you?"
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, I haven't even told the truth these days, really."
……
Corona ignored all the chatter, smiling at anyone who spoke to her, until Ivey and the others appeared, and there was a look of joy and excitement in her eyes.
Ivey Holenia Shinoah and Chester appeared together, Chester sat on the throne at the front, and the other four sat on the chairs next to them, Fred was supposed to come, but he had been traveling for several years, and now he couldn't find any traces, and he couldn't contact anyone, which broke Ivey and Hollaney's hearts.
The five people sat down, and everyone saluted.
"Get up." Chester is in a good mood, he is finally going to see his stupid dumpling, and I don't know when this guy from Weeks brought someone here, he just called and said that he was on the way, it should be soon, and he doesn't know what the stupid dumpling has been taught in the past two days, sleeping with other men all day, it's really sad to die, it's not okay from today onwards!
After everyone saluted, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, although everyone knew that the most important thing today was to choose the queen, but the name was the birthday banquet, and it was Chester's two hundred and fifty birthday, which was more grand, of course, it was indispensable to give gifts, and everyone sent the most precious gifts to please Chester.
At this time, I don't care about face or shame, today is a very important day, as long as you can show your face, you can open up any face, when giving gifts, the nobles have brought their children forward, just in order to be able to show their faces in front of Chester, leave a good impression, don't care whether the inner decision is internal or not, maybe Chester will change the choice of their daughter or son at first sight, what is impossible.
Corona stood in the front position, and after she saluted, she saw Ivy looking at herself and laughing, and she couldn't help but be happy in her heart. Nine points are sure, this queen's position should be hers, Ivey's appearance is too obvious, how can so many famous and noble women present look at her in particular, and even beckoned her to speak alone.
"You're beautiful today, goose yellow is very good for your skin." Ivey complimented.
"You've won the prize, Grandpa Ive." Corona was embarrassed, "I don't know any of this, Clara chose it for me." "Her butler Clara was still arranged by Ivey, because she was not worried about the original housekeeper in the house, and Corona was a countess, so it was more convenient to have a housekeeper.
Everyone else is called Ivy Xià, and Corona calls him grandpa, and when she hears it, she knows who is close and who is close.
"No matter how good Clara's vision is, you can't match your natural beauty, our Corona is a beautiful girl, don't you say?" Ivy nudged Hollaney to the side.
"Yes, goose yellow is very good for you." Hollaney nodded, in fact, he couldn't tell if it was good or not, anyway, if Ivey said it was good, he would follow suit, he and Corona were not very close, he hated things and people that would take up too much of Ivey's time, and it was not easy to deal with it on his face to please Ivey.
Seeing that it was about to be time for the ball, everyone began to get nervous, just like the civilians who bought lottery tickets and other lotteries, they were all waiting for Chester's opening dance.
The opening dance of the ball was particularly important, it was Chester's birthday, and of course he was the opener, and he didn't have a partner yet, so he had to choose one of the crowds to be his dance partner.
And the person who was invited was probably the lucky one, that is, the future queen.
The young nobles who were hoping to be invited were nervous, and they all prayed that they would be chosen, and that if they were chosen, their lives would be completely different.
Corona was one of them, she stood beside Ivy with a smile on her face, very close to Chester, although she couldn't see it on her face, but her heart was beating fast, and her future would change because of the man in front of her.
Everyone was nervous, even Ivey and the others were very nervous, and Sennes hadn't come yet, and he didn't know if the kid was going to matter, and his heart was full of worry.
There was only one person present who was in a very low mood, and that was Saniel, who stood in the distance and looked at Chester with a blank expression, and Kane beside Chester, the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he became.
Soon he will fall out of love, and he should really find an excuse not to come like his uncle, and it will only increase his sadness if he sees it.
