Eden. Viscount Bell was one of the most popular aristocrats in Vermont City, and he was an excellent treasurer for the Grand Duke. Since Bell became treasurer, the financial aspects of the Grand Duke have not embarrassed the Grand Duke, and they are thriving. For the nobles of Vermont City, although the noble background of His Excellency Viscount is insufficient, the generosity of His Excellency Viscount is recognized by all nobles, which is one of the reasons why nobles like him. As for the ordinary people...... They did not have a very good impression of His Excellency the Viscount, for this man always managed to take every carat out of their pockets.

Although the preparation time was a little rushed, Hathaway was dumbfounded when she saw the list of names and quantities of food on Jessica's list of food that she didn't know where she had got......

"10 strong cows, 10 fat pigs, 1000 pounds of lard, 20 calves, 20 fat sheep, 36 fan goats, 100 chicks, 264 pigeons, 364 swans......"

In addition to ordinary domestic animals and poultry, there are also many ordinary monsters, these are all the ingredients for cooking high-end dishes, according to Jessica, this is the reason for the haste of preparation, Hathaway was so surprised that her jaw was about to drop, thinking that she had participated in the commendation banquet held by the Ministry of Public Security, that scene was ...... There really can't be compared!

As soon as I had afternoon tea, some familiar guests began to come to the Viscount's Mansion one after another by carriage or on horseback, and some young nobles even rode their Warcraft mounts here in order to flaunt their knightly demeanor. The boys who have not yet reached adulthood came to the recreation room under the leadership of several maids, and all the girls were taken by the ladies to learn the etiquette of receiving people and things, most of them stayed on the second floor, and the men were sipping wine in the hall downstairs, leisurely exchanging their interests.

"Look at those guys, they are all running around like thieves, like male dogs in heat."

Next to the railing on the second floor, Connie in a delicate dress. Stanley gracefully held a glass of wine, but said something that didn't look like what a lady should say.

Next to her female companion Rosa. Fabergé covered his mouth with his hand and chuckled, "Connie, if the ladies heard what you just said, they would be reprimanded...... But that's a fitting one. ”

"Huh!"

Connie. Stanley sighed lightly and said, "Who would know that the ugly duckling who was sick and hated ten years ago has turned into the new favorite of Vermont's high society." ”

Rosa. Fabergé held on to the railing, his red lips pursed gently, and said, "If you have the title of an earl who can be a lord, you can also turn an ugly duckling into a swan." Look at those people, most of them are second sons and concubines in the family, and they don't have the opportunity to take the title, and they want to leave the blessings to the next generation. If only I ...... Hum! ”

Connie. Stanley rolled his eyes and said, "Rosa, your eldest brother is coming too, right?" Isn't he the heir to your father's title? ”

Rosa. Fabergé shrugged: "Our family is just a hereditary baron, and of course not as attractive as the count. But that's it, Connie, in two days the Marquis of Fallenbeck is hosting a fox hunt, will you go? ”

"Of course I'll go for such an interesting occasion, but this time the first title may have to be won by the Grand Magistrate's family, and I heard that their family has just gotten a few camponi horses, which are of good quality." Connie. Stanley Road.

"That's not necessarily, a good horse needs a good rider, and what family hasn't sneakily exchanged the best horses in the army all these years? It's a pity that I can't use the Warcraft mount, otherwise maybe I will have the first chance. "Rosa. Fabergé is sorry to say.

"Who do you think will win this time?" Connie. Stanley asked with interest.

Every time a similar event is held, there will be a handicap to win a lottery, and people in high society will enjoy it, whether they win or lose.

"It's hard to say, it depends on their mounts."

Rosa. Faberge thought for a moment and said, "If you look at it purely in terms of riding, Katevich. Fei Wenlie's riding skills are the best among the young people, but archery skills...... He is inferior to Walter. Well, there is also a person's on-the-spot performance, and there are many people who are not far from their level, and it is really difficult to say when the time comes. ”

"Connie, Rosa!"

In the distance, several beautifully dressed and youthful girls greeted them, and the two men immediately walked over with brisk steps, and in a few moments their conversation had shifted to the fashionable clothes of the street and the young talents of Vermont City.

Gossip is always the most fashionable word in aristocratic circles. Some of the old nobles began to talk about the intricate relationship between the royal family and the church, and between the high lords.

The young nobles talked about horses together and talked about their windfalls...... Of course, tonight's protagonist Hathaway. Bell was also a topic of conversation for them. No matter what the faction is, they all get together and talk happily at this time, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Levin, Arthur, you're getting prettier!"

Pot-bellied Jaquhar. Jobs stretched out his fat right hand like a bear's paw and slapped the two boys on the shoulder, not noticing their grinning expressions, and his gaze had turned to Eden. Bell, "Your Excellency, what about Miss Hathaway?" Today she is the host, and we all want to see it. You see,"

He pouted, "Walter is looking around." ”

Eden. Bell followed his gaze, and Walter. Jobs was looking around and couldn't help but smile: "I'm afraid he won't be recognizable now, Hathaway was not even six years old when he left Vermont, and he has changed so much that if he didn't look like her mother, I might not be recognizable." ”

Jaquhar. Jobs rolled his eyes slightly, and suddenly said, "What about Lady Elizabeth?" ”

Eden. Bell was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, she's on the second floor." ”

Lady Elizabeth was on the second floor, but she was not accompanying the ladies with her, but had just finished a round of conversation and came to a small room next to her to sulk.

Elizabeth. Camille. Bell, 30 years old, is a middle-aged woman by today's standards, and she had four children, the youngest of whom died of illness shortly after her rebirth, and has not had children since. She was taller, not much more than His Excellency the Viscount, but her demeanor was so quiet, and when she walked, she saw the long skirt swaying lightly, so that she did not look very tall. Her cheese-colored neck was round and thin, jutting out of the collar of her tight tunic, so graceful that even the most discerning person could not comment on her demeanor, but today she was a little out of control when some noble ladies spoke of Hathaway's upcoming title.

After sitting calmly for a while, the control returned to the viscountess, she stood up, walked out of the room gracefully, and called the maid beside her: "Go and ask the eldest lady to come over, she is the protagonist of the night." ”

"Yes, ma'am." The maid saluted and hurried away.
