420.Chapter 420: Elena's Rite of Passage
"Elena Torredo......"
Li Mingxuan was holding a very delicate invitation card in his hand, and the signature was Elena's name. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
According to Elena, this is a banquet for her coming-of-age ceremony tonight, and Li Mingxuan is sincerely invited to attend.
Li Mingxuan knew that British girls had the custom of holding a coming-of-age ceremony after they turned sixteen, but Elena was obviously more than sixteen years old and didn't know what the difference between a coming-of-age ceremony and a coming-of-age ceremony was.
Moreover, looking at Elena's full name on the invitation, Li Mingxuan was thoughtful.
Toledo is a very old surname, and this surname is not very common in the United Kingdom.
The reason why Li Mingxuan cares more about this surname is because he had seen this surname once before.
Stephen Toledo.
Of course, twice to be exact, because Catherine's little Lori's full name is "Catherine Toredo." ”
Stephen's family is the Toledo family, as a branch of the ancient clan of the blood family, the members of the Toledo family are all blood families without exception.
Li Mingxuan hadn't thought that Elena was actually from the Toledo family. In this case, she should be from the same family as Stephen and Catherine.
No wonder he always felt that there was a familiar aura on her body, and at this moment he realized that it was because she and Catherine were of the same blood.
It's just that this aura is not so obvious, otherwise, he who often holds Catherine in his arms and amuses him, he would not have realized it until now.
Stephen has said before that the Bloodlines are not like or portrayed in film and television works, and on the surface, they are no different from humans.
Of course, legends like the one in which the blood clan are afraid of the sun, are afraid of garlic, and sleep in coffins during the day and come out at night to carry out activities are all nonsense.
Except that his face was a little whiter than that of a normal person, ordinary people couldn't tell the difference between the blood clan and humans at all.
Li Mingxuan was able to feel the energy fluctuations in Elena's body, which was very similar to Stephen's, so when he saw Elena for the first time, he determined the identity of her blood clan.
Similarly, Claire, who is from the Mokawi family, is also a blood family, and his strength is much stronger than Elena, and he almost has the strength of an earl.
However, although the guy looked to be in his early twenties, he was actually a monster who lived for an unknown number of hundreds.
The lifespan of the Bloodline is much longer than that of humans, and the rate of aging is naturally very slow. As their strength increases, this speed will continue to slow down, so although almost all of them are hundreds of years old monsters, they still look very young on the surface.
The specific age of the blood clan is not easy to see through the surface, even Li Mingxuan can only see an approximation.
Elena is only in the Viscount realm, and many aspects reveal that she is not very old, otherwise, Li Mingxuan would have been hiding far away.
The young girl who sits beside her every day is actually an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, and I shudder to think about this kind of thing.
For so long, Elena didn't show any intention of approaching herself. Even Li Mingxuan sometimes wonders if she really fell in love with herself at first sight, and she fell in love with it when she first saw her Of course, this guess is just thinking about it in her heart.
For the Toledo family, Li Mingxuan is a little interested, if nothing else, Catherine's little Lori should be there.
When I think about it, it seems like I haven't seen her in months.
Thinking of this, Li Mingxuan's mind came to the tearful look of little Lori when she left.
Even if there was no invitation from Elena, he would have gone to the Toredo family, knowing that Elena was from the Toredo family, he had some other expectations in his heart for this banquet.
"Why do you have an invitation and I don't?" Yuan Feiyuan's eyes widened, looked at the invitation letter that Li Mingxuan put on the table, and looked up and asked.
As she spoke, her eyes were full of doubt when she looked at Li Mingxuan.
"This kind of thing, you should ask Elena instead of me, right?" Li Mingxuan's expression was innocent.
It wasn't up to him who Elena invited to the banquet, so what did it mean to look at him like that?
"Honestly, what's your relationship?" Yuan Feiyuan's eyes began to flicker with a hint of danger, and he looked at Li Mingxuan and asked.
"We're friends for the time being." Li Mingxuan said.
"For the time being?" Yuan Feiyuan looked at him menacingly, "Do you still want to develop further?" ”
"I didn't say that." Li Mingxuan shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.
These days, Yuan Feiyuan seems to have completely brought in the role of sister-in-law, and is very competent. Of course, her competence is manifested in the fact that as long as Elena appears within five meters of him, Yuan Feiyuan will take the initiative to come over......
Since that ball, for Elena, who is beautiful, has a rich family and a good temperament, Yuan Feiyuan has regarded her as the person who needs to be guarded against the most from the beginning.
A beauty of her level, as long as she seduces a little, what man can hold it?
"You ask Miss Elena, can you bring family members to the banquet?" After a moment, she suddenly raised her head and asked seriously.
Then, without waiting for Li Mingxuan to answer, I heard her muttering to herself: "My sister-in-law should also be considered a family member, right?" ”
The coming-of-age ceremony is actually a very old etiquette, and many countries around the world still retain this tradition.
Of course, different countries and different nationalities have different ways of holding coming-of-age ceremonies.
The tradition of coming-of-age ceremonies in Western society has a long history, beginning in the form of balls. The earliest coming-of-age balls came from England, but at that time, the coming-of-age ceremony was limited to girls from aristocratic families who had reached the age of 18, and they would be introduced to Queen Victoria in a solemn ceremony, and from then on they were eligible to participate in social balls, which were often a platform for nobles to network and meet each other.
Of course, with the development of the times, the coming-of-age ceremony has also evolved a lot.
Even in the UK, the rites of passage are different depending on the region.
For some big families, it has its own unique coming-of-age ceremony. However, although the content of the ceremony is not understood, it is probably necessary to invite some relatives and friends as witnesses of the coming-of-age ceremony.
The place where Elena held the coming-of-age banquet was really in a private manor not far from the city, the manor covers a wide area, although the building inside is modern, but the style is indeed medieval Gothic, there is a lawn, there is a garden, Li Mingxuan arrived here according to the address on the invitation, and when he walked to the door of the manor, his footsteps paused slightly.
Feeling the special aura in the manor, he finally knew the reason why Elena didn't invite Yuan Feiyuan.
