Chapter 61: The Banquet (2)
There is already a bit of summer feeling in the air, and the ** in spring is narcissistic and reluctant to leave, and the golden sunlight shines through the sky blue curtains on the wide windows, shining into Hathaway's room with great brilliance, making the whole room full of soft and fragrant warmth...... It is full of the scent of flowers, freshly sprouted trees and warm, freshly turned earth.
The cream-coloured walls are shining, the mahogany furniture is as deep red as wine, the floors are as bright as glass, and the new carpets have been painted like dreams.
Looking out of the window, on both sides of the stone-paved paths outside the courtyard, colorful flowers bloomed one by one, and in the thick shade under her window, several unknown birds were competing there, sometimes sharp and high-spirited, sometimes delicate and poignant, and they could change to the fullest.
"Calling me out so early, just for that kind of boring banquet?" Hathaway looked at the two middle-aged women in front of her with the appearance of a teacher in displeasure.
Well, in fact, they were thirty years old at most, but the stereotypical expressions on their faces did make them look much older than they really were, and what Hathaway liked the least was that these two men had been sent to teach her dance and dress etiquette or something.
Dance was an indispensable program in aristocratic socializing, and dress etiquette and the like were indispensable. Poor Hathaway was sent out of Vermont at the age of six, away from the so-called 'high society', and Mrs. Christie was more enthusiastic about teaching her to read all kinds of books, although she also taught her some aristocratic manners, but ...... Please, she was only six years old at the time, and she was still taught by an old lady who doted on her children, and after the age of ten, she spent most of her time in the magic academy, for magicians, the mage ceremony can cope with all occasions, and the magic robe is the most gorgeous clothes in the world, even the king's crown cannot be reached.
"Miss Bell, you are the protagonist of today's party, you must do the first dance, or you will ...... There will be a loss of aristocratic dignity. "Dinny. Mrs. Canningt said bitterly, she found the eldest lady in front of her more headache than any noble lady she had ever seen.
Hathaway smiled: "Lady Canningt, first of all, you have to remember that I am a magician, above the so-called nobles; Secondly, I don't think there's anything nice about the kind of dance you're showing. As for the aristocratic system...... Rest assured, I'll show you what aristocratic physique. ”
"Yes, Miss Bell." Dani. Mrs. Canningt's face was so dark that she could wring out water.
Hathaway's eyes looked at the boxes on the bed again, which were dresses of different colors and styles, neatly folded, and she shrugged her shoulders, these colors were okay, but she was really not very interested in the old dresses. However, if you change it, you can wear it out.
"Mrs. Schmidt,"
She looked at the other woman, "Please prepare your scissors and needlework." ”
Diana. Schmidt hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Bell, the tools are downstairs, you can tell me if you have any orders." ”
Hathaway nodded, "So be it." ”
"Yes." Dani. Canningte and Diana. Schmidt saluted and left.

For the various nobles, large and small, who can be found everywhere in Vermont City, they undoubtedly have much more leisure time than commoners, but in this day and age, there are not many things that can be entertained, nothing more than horse races, hunting, and banquets held under various names.
The Titan world has a strong martial spirit, and the folk customs of the Otiga Empire are particularly fierce. Especially the aristocracy, both men and women, as long as they have the conditions, they will learn martial arts while learning basic etiquette, and if they have a talent for magic, they must be cultivated with all their might.
In Vermont City, outside of the main blocks, mercenaries wearing weapons can be found everywhere, and the nobles wear ornate weapons...... Some people are still very burning, wearing magic weapons to show around.
For some nobles, there is also a sense of distress...... The eldest son wants to inherit the guy, and naturally he is indispensable in terms of bravery; Since the eldest son and below cannot inherit the title or has not much property that can be distributed, it becomes their first choice to enter the army to earn military merits and obtain corresponding rewards and even territories. Of course, there were also a considerable number of nobles, whose ability and courage were not enough to support them in shading their wives and children on horseback, so they could only choose to engage in various activities in high society, wandering among the fluttering skirts of noblewomen and ladies, seeking opportunities for advancement.
"Miss, you are so beautiful!"
Seeing Hathaway change into a dress, Ilona said sincerely.
This is a blue gown, pure color, much like the color of the sky, bare half of the shoulders, just the right way to outline Hathaway's chest, waist, hips, wearing a family heirloom necklace around her neck, wearing the 'blessing of the gods' on her hands, wearing a red coral earring on her ears, a pair of crystal dancing shoes on her feet, jet-black and shiny hair pulled up high behind her head, wearing a crystal headdress, adding a bit of mature charm.
"Thank you!" Hathaway smiled and rubbed Irona's head, "What, don't you come with me?" ”
Ilona stuck out her tongue: "It's not for people like us to go there. ”
Hathaway shook her head slightly, but this hierarchy was not something she had set and could not be abolished, and even if she didn't approve of it, she couldn't help but go with the flow.
At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and Jessica appeared at the door and said respectfully, "Miss, Mr. Berger is waiting outside." ”
"Berg?"
The corners of Hathaway's mouth curled slightly, the name was really familiar, "Is there anything about him?" ”
"He's here to show you the way, and he wants to know when you can go." Jessica replied.
"Well, I'll go now."
Hathaway bowed slightly and walked out the door, and Jessica hurriedly stepped out of the way.
In the living room, Berg stood respectfully there, giving people a very strange feeling...... It's like a spring, as long as you give it a force, it can bounce up quickly.
"You're Bolger?"
A voice suddenly sounded, which surprised Berg, he didn't even hear the other party's footsteps!
"Yes, miss."
Berg hurriedly replied and looked up...... He had observed Hathaway from a distance, but when he saw it up close, he was still surprised, wearing that magic robe, Hathaway was inconspicuous, but when he changed into this dress, it was like a jewel to wipe away the dust, and Hathaway was filled with a youthful and brilliant atmosphere.
"I have heard Mr. Berg's name for a long time, and today I finally see me. Let's go. With that, Hathaway walked to the door.
Yes?
Berg's heart jumped, but he didn't have time to think about what Hathaway meant, and hurriedly walked a few steps to the door: "Miss, please follow me!" ”
