Chapter Twenty-Five: The Prom

"It's me, miss." Ellie's voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, come in!"

Since Ellie was released on bail by Freya at the baron, she recommended herself as Freya's personal maid, taking care of Freya's daily life.

"What's the matter?" Freya asked.

"That's the case, Miss, Lord Count Philip should pay you to the castle ball to-night, this is an invitation." Avery said as she handed over a gold-lacquered card in her hand.

"Prom?" Freya was surprised to find the card.

On the front is written the time of the dance and the name of the invitee, and on the back is two bouquets of crossed roses, which are placed on the nose and smelled the card and actually has a faint smoky fragrance.

There was actually a dance party at this time, Freya, who didn't know Philip's intentions, frowned and put the card around her waist.

"By the way, Miss, when the Earl gave me the invitation, he also asked me to bring a message to Miss, saying that I wanted to introduce you to an acquaintance at the ball." Avery continued.

"......" Freya's face froze slightly, and she suddenly thought of something, and her messy brain instantly brightened.

She touched the gold-lacquered card on her waist, ignored Ellie, who was standing aside, and walked straight out, heading towards the Baron's study......

At night, the hall of Grimm Castle is brightly lit.

Beautiful music sounded, and in front of rows of round tables, long rectangular tables stood in the middle of the hall, filled with all kinds of sumptuous food and drinks.

The back of the hall was deliberately enclosed as a dance floor, and several people were faintly dancing with a soothing dance.

Ladies dressed in black are giving to those in need.

Throughout the halls of Castle Green, most of the personnel of Castle Grimm were invited, except for the high-ranking officers brought by Philip.

Florya, dressed in a long white dress, stood quietly in the corner, her hair was pulled up high at this time, no different from an ordinary aristocratic girl, the long skirt hung down to the ground, except for revealing two arms, there was nothing out of the ordinary, which was too conservative for the other invited girls.

At the moment, she drank quietly with a green drink in her hand, but her eyes were fixed around the hall from time to time.

It seems that Philip really intended to use the ball to apologize to the people of Grimm Castle, and there was nothing special about it until the middle of the ball.

Philip was talking quietly with a senior officer near the long table, smiling from time to time, and his deliberately chosen swordsman's uniform and heroic face had a sense of nobility and poise in the dim light.

The baron seemed to disappear after receiving the information provided by Freya, knowing that it was her father who was preparing in the shadows.

However, she is also puzzled by the fact that her brother Eric disappeared before the dance began, and it is unknown where he went.

Just as Freya finished the drink in her hand, the melodious music suddenly stopped.

'Bang Bang'

With a loud clapping, Philip stood on the high platform of the hall and watched with satisfaction as the people who had been in chaos were attracted to him.

"First of all, welcome to the ball that I have prepared for you below, and I want to say sorry here, and I am here to explain to everyone who has questioned why I didn't send troops to fight Saladin first."

The clear voice effectively made the whole hall hear his voice, Felea stood in the corner and frowned at Philip's apology, guessing in his heart what he was going to say next, and the next thing was nothing more than that there was a reason for doing this, but the reason was the secret of the Empire, and there was no way to tell you, please forgive me.

“…… This is an important state secret, and I beg no further importance, but I promise here that I will definitely drive out the invaders for our people and restore a peaceful life for everyone! ”

Philip bowed heavily, and his heroic expression became solemn, which made people feel convincing.

"Sure enough..."Freya watched Philip's performance with disdain, and if she didn't know the real thing, she might have believed it under such a speech, but once she knew that he had some connection with Berta's side, this kind of real speech became a ridiculous performance in Freya's eyes.

After the gorgeous apologetic speech in the eyes of everyone was finished, of course, this sincere expression was enough for anyone to be forgiven.

Philip straightened up, smiled slightly, clapped his hands, and the beautiful voice sounded again.

The aristocratic music of this world was similar to that of medieval Europe in the previous life, although the instruments were different but also similar, and among the musicians, Freya even saw a huge black piano, which made a soothing sound under the musician's playing.

She used to practice for a while because of the place where she worked, but then gave up for various reasons.

But Freya is also very puzzled about why different worlds have the same thing, which of course has no result.

As Philip stepped off the high stage, the ball gradually entered the ** part, and the young ladies who had drunk a little wine found their partners and walked onto the dance floor, dancing to the music.

And Philip's side was surrounded by the daughters of several relatives of the Green family.

In response to this invitation, Philip just smiled and said something while pointing to Freya hiding in the corner.

Freya is the second person with a high status in Grimm Castle in addition to the status of the highest baron, even if there is a boy who likes her, she is forced to dare not step forward due to the shadow of the baron, knowing that the other party is looking for Freya, several girls around her have left for a while.

Freya squinted slightly as she watched Philip, who had gotten rid of the entanglement, walking towards her, and her heart fluttered slightly.

"Didn't bother you, Freya." Philip smiled and took one of her hands and kissed it gently.

"Nope." Freya withdrew her hand shyly, and replied with the same smile

"If you don't mind, let's go outside together?"

"Hmm!"

The quiet corridor is much quieter than the bustling hall.

Freya walked quietly behind Philip, listening to him tell stories about his past and the Baron.
