Witnesses to the rite of passage?

Hearing Nikolai's words, Weston was stunned. This plot, this episode, why didn't anyone predict it in advance? What to do, what to say, I don't have a score at all......

Following the gaze of Bella and the Lord, the eyes of the guests turned to Weiss's side again.

The confused guy pretended to be calm while squeezing out a voice from between his teeth: "Hey, what should I do?" ”

"What to do? Just do your own coming-of-age ceremony! Nikolai replied without thinking.

"But I'm a man, she's a woman......"

"It's no different in nature!"

Nikolai originally disagreed, but seeing that Weiss had been hesitating, he knew that he must have a situation, so he turned his head and glanced at him: "Just those few greetings, you shouldn't have forgotten them all, right?" ”

After a brief moment of hesitation, Weiss had already noticed a change in the gaze of some of the guests. They are still only confused and curious, if there is a problem, there should be a lot of people who gloat, in that case, Bella's life will definitely be affected in the future, maybe she will not forgive herself in this life......

So, he asked Nikolai for help: "Let's be brothers, do you want to see me make a fool of myself?" ”

Nikolai rolled his eyes: "Okay, for the sake of you who once lived my life, I'll help you once!" ”

At this time, Weiss no longer had the heart to ponder what the life-saving grace he was referring to, and hurriedly said yes.

"Follow me, what do I say, how do you!"

Leaving these words, Nikolai straightened his body, his chin was slightly raised, his chest was high, and he walked towards Bella.

Weiss followed along, only half a position behind. If others don't identify it carefully, they will think that these two Patston cadets are marching in sync.

Seeing Weiss striding towards her, Bella's tense expression finally relaxed, and she didn't seem to realize that the cadet who came with her brother had intervened in her coming-of-age ceremony, and it wasn't until they both approached that she glanced at Nikolai in surprise.

This glance made her delicate face crimson, as if the morning glow was reflected on a budding lily, and like an autumn maple leaf sandwiched in the white pages, waiting for people who knew the goods to come and appreciate......

About three steps in front of Bella, Nikolai stopped, bowed politely, and said, "Dear Miss Bella-Clumber Haisen, please allow me to introduce myself!" My name is Nicolas Lebold, and I am a dear friend of your brother Long Clumber Haytham at the Barston Military Academy, and it is an honor to be here at today's banquet. At the invitation of your brother, serve as a guard officer at your bar mig. Of course, if you don't mind, I'll do what you want. ”

Weiss stood beside Nikolai and saw Bella staring intently at his hardcore friend. At this moment, her bright eyes reflected his fresh, delicate and sincere baby face.

At the same time, Weiss also noticed that his cheap father, Lord Clumber-Hazen, looked at Nikolai with a look of surprise.

He seems to recognize Nikolai?

Bella lowered her head shyly and whispered, "Yes, of course I do, it's an honor." ”

Nikolai bowed again, then walked to Bella's right: "Now, then, please take Bella's left arm and lead her to the center of the hall." ”

Weiss walked to Bella's left and took her slender arm. In the short time they got along before, he had never observed her side face at such a close distance, and at this moment, a casual glance was a little shocking: the autumn water eyes were so clear and expressive, as if they went straight to an inner world of truth, goodness and beauty; The small and tall bridge of the nose depicts a kind of rebelliousness that does not want to submit to the world; The fair, delicate, snowy skin seems to be a work of art; The delicate lips are like a vermilion cherry hanging from a branch......

Bella turned her head and smiled at her brother.

Meow, did you go to the wrong set and enter the wrong scene?

Weiss was surprised, but also delighted. Little Lori coiled her hair in a bun, and the previous impression of being rude and reckless, childlike and childlike seemed to be replaced by a slim, gentle and lovely ladylike temperament in an instant; She applied a little powder, and she made that immature and beautiful face picturesque, bright and moving, arousing the infinite desire of the opposite sex to protect......

The humble ugly duckling will one day become a white swan that everyone loves.

Accompanied by a light and cheerful music, the brother and sister of the Clumber-Haysen family walked arm in arm and slowly reached the center of the hall.

Nikolai followed closely to Bella's right, like a dutiful officer of the guard.

As Weiss and Bella stood on the circular stone slab in the center of the hall, Nikolai said in just the right volume: "Now, please announce to the guests that Bella has officially entered the ranks of adults as of this day, and give her a special message. ”

After that, Nikolai did not forget to give Weiss a look, signaling that he could play the rest of the part appropriately.

Weiss first looked around at everyone: "As the heir of the Clumber-Haysan family, Bella's brother, I declare that from this day on, our Bella has grown into the most beautiful and moving rose in the city of Somsonas and even in the federal state of Lorraine, and I swear in the sacred name of the heir of the Clumber-Haysen family and the cadets of the Barston Military Academy, I will be her most loyal guardian in this life, protecting her from any harm." ”

Then he confronted Bella: "Bella, as a witness to your coming-of-age ceremony, I give you a proverb: Although there are dark clouds in the sky, there will always be sunshine above the dark clouds!" ”

As the words fell, the audience burst into warm applause.

Weiss let out a long sigh of relief, only to realize that his forehead was sweating.

When the applause subsided, Bella glanced shyly and expectantly at Nikolai beside her.

Nikolai took a deep breath and said in a voice that resounded in every corner of the audience: "I, Nicolas Lebourde, swear in the honor of our ancestor St. Lebourde, I will protect Miss Béla Clumber Haisen, so that her safety will not be threatened, her innocence will not be tarnished, and her reputation will not be infringed upon, I sincerely wish...... Beauty, happiness, and luck are always with her! ”

Nikolai didn't finish his sentence, to be precise, the moment he said the name of "Saint-Lebold", the audience was in an uproar.

Unlike Weiss, who is ignorant and ignorant, anyone with the slightest knowledge here knows who St. Lebold is—one of the main founders of the Ulster Free Federation, the founder of the legal system of the Free Federation, and the first Minister of Justice of the Free Federation, the Chancellor of the Commonwealth, and the third President. Since then, the Leibold family has produced many strong men, with two presidents, two secretaries of state, and countless senior ministers for more than 400 years.

Compared to such a prominent family, the Clumber-Haysen family, famous for making guns, is nothing at all.

The gazes that were directed at Nikolai, whether from men or women, old or young, suddenly became enthusiastic and even hot.

The deep surprise was also written in Bella's sparkling eyes.

Just as Nikolai said, this night, she was blessed with beauty, happiness and luck, and she was the happiest person here.

As the coming-of-age ceremony ended, the guests exchanged their heads and checked each other, and almost everyone rushed over to shake Nikolai's hand.

It was as if his right hand was not a hand, but a sacred object that spread luck and honor.

Shaking hands with the Leebold family is definitely something to brag about to the common people.

At the Lord's behest, Rainer, the butler, ordered the band to begin playing dance music.

The light melody sounded, and the admirers, even reluctantly, had to follow the rules of the banquet and retreat in all directions, giving way to the most spacious middle area of the main hall for people to dance.

Nikolai was able to get out, only to see him come to Weiss and Bella, first looked at Weiss with a blank face, and bowed to Bella's for the third time: "Beautiful and touching Miss Bella, I wonder if I have the honor to be your first dance partner tonight?" ”

Bella replied almost excitedly, "Yes," and then remembered that her brother, the witness to the rite of passage, should dance with her first.

If Weiss extracted memories from the host's head, then dancing would not be difficult, the problem was that he didn't, so ...... This thing doesn't understand the dance of this world at all. Since Nikolai took the initiative to help him out of the siege, he hurriedly rode a donkey downhill: "Look, my hair is still wet, I have to go back to the room and dry it first!" Uh, Nikolai, my dear brother, this honor is given to you! ”

To Bella, Nikolai gave a calm smile, and to Weiss, he rolled his eyes as usual.
