Chapter 56: Asking for help
When Vanessa and Brant walked into the banquet hall, the guests had already arrived. It is a tradition in the country of wine valley to hold a court ball on the last day of the month, and most of the invitees are high-class nobles, but there are also commoners, but only a handful. Unlike the fanatical worship of magic in the bitter cold land, the people here do not judge a person's hierarchical identity by the strength of magic, they believe that magic is a gift from God, and everyone has their own unique magic, which means that everyone is God's favorite, as long as everyone is recognized as a decent person, they can participate in the dance party in the palace.
"It's too late for you to regret it now," Brant looked at Vanessa, who looked even more charming in the bright light, he really didn't want to see Creon's greedy gaze wandering around her, "I'll send a horse to send you back to Reina." β
"Is Victor ready?" Vanessa ignored his Tiyì, maintaining a proper smile on her face, and her black lace-rimmed gloved hand was holding Brandt's arm, looking very intimate.
"Ready," Brandt took a deep breath, "if Buniel's side is a good thing, you don't have to show up at the Temple of Bacchus at all." β
Vanessa smiled gracefully at the prince, "Look, none of the things I have to do are 'one qiΔ shun lΓ¬', trouble follows me like a fateful lover, all the time." They stood in the middle of the dance floor and saluted each other.
At this time, the music in the hall sounded, and the gentlemen invited their favorite ladies and ladies to wait on the dance floor. Vanessa's eyes swept to Creon, who was hurrying in, and he saw Vanessa, who was already standing, casually drove away a noble man, and stood opposite the other party's dance partner, the harp and bagpipes began to play at this time, and ten pairs of men and women danced to the music.
"Looks like he can't wait." Brant was ashamed of his brother.
"It's a good sign," Vanessa spun around, "I can get straight to the point." β
"No, he doesn't like fast pacing," Brant reached out to meet Vanessa's hand, "you're going to have to make him think you're hard to pursue." β
"Reiner can't wait."
"It's up to you, you have to follow his rules."
"Must?" Vanessa raised her eyebrows mockingly, I'm afraid this time it won't be as he wants.
The music shifts to separate Vanessa from Brandt, this time with a black-haired and yellow-skinned commoner boy, followed by an unsmiling middle-aged nobleman and a golden-bearded royal guard, all of whom admire the beauty of the princess until the music brings Vanessa to Creon.
"Who are you? My beautiful young lady," said Cleon, in the most charming of her voices, "do not blame me for being jealous, for your beauty is coveted by all the men present, and I would like to order them all to be executed." β
"So, standing in front of me is the supreme King of the Winevalley Kingdom?" Vanessa made a gesture to salute.
Creon was stunned, "I am the future king, if you want, of course you can call me king." β
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince," Vanessa curtsy to Creon during the dance, "I'm Fanny Sandra from Crescent City." β
"So far," Creon said, with a distressed expression, "you must have suffered a great deal of sin when you crossed the sea to the land of the wine valleys." β
"Yes, there are often unpredictable storms at sea," Vanessa said like a frightened little girl, "and we walked for a month to avoid the storms. β
As the beat of the drum changed, Vanessa turned to the next man, and as she shifted to opposite Brant, he took her around and pulled her closer. "Bunier didn't find that puppet, damn it, you're right, it's not so smooth."
Vanessa gave him a "what am I talking about" smile, "He must have put Dong up, it looks like I have to ask him directly." β
"Then it's better for me to come." Brandt looked at the princess with concern.
"It's my business, I don't want to get you involved."
"But I already ......," the prince did not continue, and Vanessa knew what he was going to say, and that it had nothing to do with the fighting. But she couldn't give him any response, she already had Reina and didn't dare to ask for more.
The change of music separates the two men again, and the princess can't forget the last look in Brant's eyes, which is nostalgia and unbearable.
I'll be fine. Vanessa greeted Prince Creon with a smile. "Your Royal Highness, I have come thousands of miles to the palace of the Land of Wine Valley because I am on a mission to save people." The princess bowed to Creon again, "My sister was abducted half a year ago, and after much inquiry I learned that she was being held on an island, but when I went to rescue her, I found that she was seriously wounded, and the magician told me that the wound could only be cured by the great Prince Creon, so I followed Prince Brant into the palace to ask for your help, please save my poor sister, who is only sixteen years old." β
"Sixteen?" Creon's eyes rolled, "My sister is so beautiful, what will happen to my sister?" β
