Chapter 55: First Acquaintance—The Viscount of Sandwind
Not long after Miss Moranch left, with the blooming of the ceremonial flowers in the outer city and the melodious music of the inner city, the spring festival officially began on the evening of March 29, Will's 42nd year. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After a little tour of the venue and a little inspection of the guests, I stood aside at ease after completing these simple tasks.
Woo! I knew that Asa was so honest today, and people would go to the outer city!
Compared with the noise of the outer city, the upper class balls in the inner city are really boring, just the court band playing the elegant dance music composed by the composer on one side, and then the nobles who like to dance enter the dance floor - they are wild children of the country anyway! I don't like this very much! And...... For some reason, His Majesty King Sarabont and Princess Lagersis have not yet appeared - although the deacon announced that they had a temporary business and would arrive at the venue later, it was a little strange!
Other than that...... Although he knew that Thresteen in front of him was pretending to be Asa, he was still very uncomfortable watching "Lacey" and Miss Moranch show their skillful and elegant dancing together in the center of the venue.
Of course, many young nobles invited me to dance during the tour, and although I politely declined with the idea of "mission", it was still annoying! - Everybody knows they have bad intentions!
It's all a smile on his face, deliberately showing his demeanor, so fake and fake!
――When people don't know? Do you think people have forgotten how you laughed at you when you were a child because of your black hair and blood?!
A bunch of guys who can't even hold their swords tightly and can only please people at social dances!
Compared to you. Asaosin: How much better they are!
Belch! …… Not all of them! To be honest, there are actually a few quite good.
Although I don't want to admit it, the whole venue is except for Threstin. The most striking person was Miss Moranch's brother, Viscount Charpaed.
He was very tall, with the same golden curls as Moranshi, his blue eyes were clear and determined, his broad shoulders gave people a very reliable feeling, and his voice was very calm when he talked to me after my inspection: "Miss Sakura, my sister didn't trouble you just now, did you?" After saying that, he bowed to me very respectfully, "Viscount Xia Baifei." Son of the Duke of Solna! ”
That calm, slightly proud tone told me that it wasn't to show off his aristocratic background, but to tell me that he was. Viscount Xia Baifei is a young nobleman who does not dishonor the name of the family and is enough to make his father proud.
Judging from the information I vaguely heard in the military department, it is also the case - Viscount Xia Baifei has extraordinary martial courage and courage. At the age of fourteen, he went to war with his father, the Duke of Solna. In the battle with the desert kingdom of Tara, he bravely charged and killed many times, and was almost cut into blood. After that, he was wounded and ran with his father for a long time, completely annihilating the enemy army, and achieved brilliant results.
It is said that His Majesty was going to give him the Earl at that time, but Xia Baifei resolutely refused to accept it, on the grounds that "this battle relied on the strength of his father, but in fact, His Majesty did not achieve a meritorious service that was enough to boast to everyone, and I ask Your Majesty to withdraw the reward." When His Majesty led the army alone to establish a meritorious service that did not dishonor the name of the family, it was not too late for His Majesty to award a reward. Therefore, His Majesty only bestowed on him the title of viscount and the equivalent of an earl's fief, which was located in the border area of the desert kingdom chosen by Xia Baifei himself.
"The Viscount of Sandwind" - this is both his name and the legend sung by the bards. The so-called "sandstorm" is naturally due to his perennial presence in the desert. Leading the team to attack as fast as the wind, but the "viscount" in the name is telling people about his pride and pride.
"Your Excellency Viscount Xia Baifei, hello!" I returned the salute with the same respect, "Miss Morancy was just chatting with someone, no trouble!" ”
"Hah! Just call me Xia Baifei! He smiled heroically, "Miss Sakura, you are the deputy leader of the Wind Riding Troupe!" -- I have a much higher position in the military department than I do! ”
"Your Excellency, you're laughing!" Seeing him smile at me and frown, I changed my mind and said, "Oh-I should say, Xia Baifei, you are smiling!" ”
"Don't even use the word 'you'!"
"Yes!"
"Na...... Miss Sakura, see you're wearing a military uniform - on a mission?! ”
"Yes!" I nodded, "It's not a big task!" It's just a tour of the venue. ”
"Oh—I don't think I can invite you to dance!" Xia Baifei looked disappointed.
"Next time!" I bowed slightly and apologized.
"Then I'm looking forward to it! Ha ha! ”
Feel good! Most of the other young aristocrats would come to me directly, and even if they were rejected on the grounds that they were on a mission, some would say, "Just leave something as trivial as patrolling the venue to someone else!" And this Xia Baifei said very interestingly.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"Well...... Your Excellency Xia Baifei - Oh! Seeing that he was dissatisfied again, I hurriedly changed my words again, (woo!) It's really hard to call strangers by their first name! "Xia Baifei, what are you doing with others?!" ”
He didn't get angry when I refused, and he didn't continue to speak, but just followed me idly during my second tour of the venue - at first they just thought that the place he was going was exactly in the same direction as mine, but he was still following behind them!
"Huh? I'm accompanying you, Miss Sakura?! ”
"Accompany?!" I frowned slightly dissatisfied, "You don't want to go to the prom?" ”
"I'm just going to the prom!" Xia Baifei took two glasses of white wine from the waiter's tray passing by and handed me one of them, "Miss Ying, don't be angry, I just see that you are very annoying, so I will accompany you!" ――Don't you think no one bothered you during this round? ”
"...... "Well, is it because the nobles don't come to bother me?"
"Girls, if you're single at the ball, you're bound to be disturbed by men - whether you're in a military uniform or not!" Xia Baifei explained, "If only one was around, it would be safe...... Actually, it should be better for Thresten to be by Miss Sakura's side, but it's a pity that he was snatched away by my sister," Xia Baifei smiled and took a sip of wine, "So it's up to me, the elder brother, to compensate Miss Sakura!" ”
"Oh!"
"But I don't know you very well with Miss Sakura after all...... Just talking to you might also get you bored," Xia Baifei scratched his golden curls a little helplessly, "so I had to follow behind this simply!" ――Excuse me? ”
Oh! So that's what happened.
"What a heart!" I gently raised my wine glass and touched it to thank him, "I can't see that Xia Baifei is so careful!" ”
"It's nothing!" Xia Baifei smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's just that I've always followed my sister like this before...... You know, my wayward sister is very hard to mess with—"
"That'...... You mean people are also very willful?! Looking at his serious appearance, I couldn't help but deliberately put on a straight face and laughed.
"Nope! No! ”
"Rest assured! I'm not angry! ”
"Not angry? Call! That's good! ”
"Hah! Xia Baifei, you are so interesting! I didn't expect the enthusiastic Miss Morancy to have a serious brother like you. Seeing that he was a little embarrassed and very honest, I didn't start to be so restrained, "Considerate and careful, well!" It's good to have such a great brother! ”
"It's funny, Miss Sakura, your sister is also very good!"
"Me?!"
"Yes, you see, how good is your brother?" Xia Baifei pointed to Moranxi, who was already a little tired not far away, and Serrestine, who was taking care of her carefully, "I heard that the swordsmanship of 'Red-Eyed Meteor-Hero Serrestine' was taught by Miss Sakura?" - That's amazing! And Thresteen's conduct is so upright and elegant, and there are no scandals or other reputational stains - all of this is due to your sister! ”
“…… It's a 'black-haired evil girl', right?! I replied angrily.
"Hah! Ha! Xia Baifei smiled awkwardly, "I didn't mean that, young people should be disciplined well!" - I used to be more strict with my father! ”
"Huh?!"
"Really!" Xia Baifei must have nodded a little exaggeratedly, "Before I went out with my father, I just trained every day!" Not to mention touching girls, you will be scolded even if you talk to a maid! ”
"Huh? Good ...... "Where is there such a way to educate children?!" That's too much! I thought about this evaluation for a while, and finally decided that it would be better not to say it - after all, the person we are commenting on is Xia Baifei's father!
"It's too much, isn't it?" However, Xia Baifei smiled and said his thoughts for me, "Don't worry, it's not just me, my mother and sister think so." And, there's more to it than that! ”
"Huh?! What's more? "I can't help but be curious.
-- What could be more than educating a child like this?
"Yes! Sakura: Did you know? My father ordered me to get married when I came back this time! ”
"Married? That's a good thing?! ”
"What's good? How can I please girls who I haven't talked to since I was a child? And...... I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm too nervous to speak around them-"
"That'...... I-?! I wondered, "Aren't you chatting with someone?" ”
"I was nervous at first! - and Miss Sakura," Xia Baifei sighed heavily, "If it weren't for Miss Sakura, you would be wearing a military uniform like a boy—wow! Why are you hitting me?! ”
"Hit you? I'm going to kick you again! I couldn't get angry, "Did you talk like that?!" Where do people look like boys?! ”
"Huh? Is it really like that? Xia Baifei even looked inexplicable, "Although you have beautiful long hair, but that flat chest - wow!" ”
Woo! I misread him.
I thought Xia Baifei was a serious and good man, but I didn't expect him to be a bastard! Idiot-level bastards!
――Where do people look like boys...... Where can the chest be small like that...... Woo! (To be continued.) )
