Chapter 62: The Banquet (3)
PS: Happy Children's Day to the children's shoes!!
In the Viscount's Palace, there is a hall dedicated to large balls and banquets, which is very bright, and Hathaway looked at it at the door...... It's too extravagant, it's bigger than the halls of the Public Security Department, and it has no problem accommodating nearly a thousand people.
"Hathaway. Miss Bell has arrived! ”
Bergra's long voice sounded a bit like the cry of a night owl, very harsh and eerie, but it worked very well, many of the guests looked this way, and the female guests who had been resting on the second floor also came to the hall one after another to join in the conversation.
Hathaway didn't pay any attention to the guests, and looked at the hall as soon as she entered...... The first impression is large, but it does not feel empty at all, through the various delicate textures on the ceiling and floor and the refraction of light, the visual error is cleverly formed; The second sense is that there are many windows, and glass is quite expensive as a rather luxurious item, but it is used a lot in this hall, but it is all some colored glass with delicate patterns, although it is beautiful.
This hall looks very quaint from the outside, but the interior decoration is the most popular style of the Otiga Empire, and when you look up, the hall is full of bright colors and crystal clear decorations, which looks magnificent. This style of decoration can be found everywhere in the hall, and the frescoes on the walls are also glittering, with the dance floor in the middle, and the tables and chairs around it are made of mahogany, especially the sofas, which are soft and comfortable in thick magic camel hair.
At least a hundred people had gathered in this huge space now, although the aristocratic demeanor would have kept everyone quite elegant and reserved. But the voices still converge into a noisy torrent. However, when Berg sang Hathaway's name in a voice similar to that of a night owl, almost everyone immediately turned their attention to the door. There was a moment of silence in the noisy crowd, and then a slight buzz of chatter.
The title of viscount in Vermont City is not as numerous as a cow's hair. But it doesn't seem too much to describe it as 'walking everywhere'. Earl titles are comparatively rarer. But it is not uncommon among these nobles. However, there is no other girl as young as Hathaway, who is about to inherit the title of hereditary earl. Moreover, she has been away from the social circle of Vermont City since she was a child, and everyone knows nothing about her, so it is natural that they are more curious, after all, her mother was a flower in the social circle of Vermont City...... It's not a concern, it's just gossip.
"It's incredible, just Eden. How could it be possible to give birth to such a beautiful daughter? ”
"What's so strange about that, don't forget who her mother is!"
"Oh! She's so tall, at least I don't get tired when I talk to her, and my neck hurts. ”
"Look at her figure, it's perfect, I think I'm going to be in love again!"
"Humph! It's a bit of a taste, I thought she would show up in a magic robe. ”
"Shhhh Don't get in trouble, those magicians won't be happy for you to talk about their costumes in that tone......"
Hathaway heard all these discussions clearly. It's just that she doesn't even bother to do disgusted expressions, and these guys probably won't do anything other than gossip, banquets, and the like.
"Dear Hathaway,"
The well-mannered Viscountess Elizabeth walked over. Affectionately took Hathaway's hand, "First come with me to meet the most honored guest of the evening." ”
"Elinor. Duchess of Fervere. ”
"Elaine. Her Royal Highness Princess Fiwenlie. ”
"Solan. The Marquess of McCullin. ”
……
Viscountess Elizabeth led her through the presentation to all the ladies who had come to the banquet. Bell took her through another introduction to the male guests. Most of the male guests here today are young people. What made Hathaway a little unbearable was the affectionate attention of the young nobles and the greedy gaze of the ladies looking at the in-demand goods, but the envy and hatred of the noble girls...... As well as all sorts of disdainful glances. Make her feel more real.
The banquet of the aristocracy was not only for pleasure, but also for socializing. Hathaway had to pay attention to the delicious and fragrant meat and sweet fruit sweat drinks from time to time, watching them gradually cool in the air, but having to deal with the 'warm' guests, and it took nearly half a magician for Hathaway to break free from the crowd.
A handsome young man stepped forward: "Miss Bell, look up to ...... for a long time"
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Fei Wenlie, I still have some things to take care of." Hathaway hurriedly took her leave, bypassed the man, and hurried out the side door.
"Katevich, it doesn't feel good to be rejected, right?" An age with Katewicz. A young man about the same size as Fei Wenlie came to him with a glass of wine, and looked at Hathaway's vanishing back.
"Aren't you the same, oh, I remember that your aunt is Viscountess Elizabeth, and this advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first doesn't seem to be very effective?" Katewicz. Fei Wenlie said lightly.
"Hehe, just now the Viscountess has invited me to stay in the Viscountess's Mansion for a few days." Payne. Camille's tone was flat, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were smug that could not be concealed.
"No matter how close the stone is to the gemstone, it can't emit a brilliant light." Katewicz. Fei Wenlie said that very poetically, and immediately turned to leave.
"You...... Hum! Wait and see! "Payne. Camille really didn't dare to tear his face with the other party, although Katevich. Fei Wenlie does not have the right to inherit the duke, but as the son of the duke, he is not something he can bully.
Hathaway was a little dizzy, not from the alcohol she drank, because the alcohol was so low that it couldn't even catch up with her beer, but from the smell of the powder and perfume. I don't know how these guys do it, both men and women, like to use incense...... It doesn't matter if you use it, but you all like that kind of strong fragrance. The most terrifying thing is that there are a few fox smells that also belong to the 'strong fragrance' level, and after using the perfume, the smell can make the weasel flutter even fairy, so she no longer cares about etiquette and sneaks out to the corridor outside to breathe in the fresh air.
Taking a deep breath of the fresh air full of plants, Hathaway exhaled hard, and then felt her lungs relax.
"Hathaway." A thick baritone suddenly sounded not far away, and Hathaway turned her head to see a tall and handsome young man, standing not far away and smiling at her.
"Are you ......" Hathaway frowned, she vaguely felt that this person was familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had seen it.
Who is he? (To be continued......)
