Chapter 43: The Dinner Party (3)
The handsome man, who was not aware of his danger at the moment, said in his deep voice with concern: "Ha, my little darling, are you feeling better today?" Have you eaten well? No, come and try this, this is the smoked sausage shipped from Vicchia, and it is the best in the whole of Calradia! Don't you like it, then try this cream pie, the Swadians can't do anything else, but this cooking really doesn't have to be said! ”
A sudden surge of anger welled up in Charles's heart, and he inexplicably glared at the man murderously. Perhaps his gaze was too terrifying, and the man felt a chill run through his body for no apparent reason.
He turned his head and saw Charles glaring at him, and asked in some astonishment, "Sir, may I ask where I have offended you?" Why are you looking at me like that? ”
Charles felt a little out of breath, and he looked back at Elena, who was also looking at him with some curiosity, and for the first time he felt the kind of greed that only belongs to men. What is surging in him at this moment is not so much admiration as intoxicating possessiveness.
At this moment, no matter who he dared to show the slightest idea of wanting to take this girl away from him, or wanting to talk to this girl, Charles felt that he would not hesitate to break that person's neck!
So, he stared at the man as if it were his father's killer.
"Sir, I don't think you're right to talk to this young lady like that, shouldn't you be careful when you talk to her?"
Du Wei looked at this young man who didn't know his name and surname with amusement, he had never met anyone who dared to speak to him in such a tone. Although Charles's words were only in an inquiring tone, there was a power to control everything and a strong confidence in the power to control everything.
"Okay, I see what you mean, but shouldn't you inquire about someone's identity before you criticize them, and what should you do if I'm the young lady's husband? What right do you have to blame me! ”
Charles clenched his fists tightly, and just as he was about to propose a duel, he received news that he never expected.
"Brother, what are you talking nonsense! This gentleman is our guest, how can you do that! ”
Charles's face suddenly stepped down, now it's okay, before he can get to know the goddess in his mind, he has already offended his brother, what kind of sin has he created!
However, in order to make up for his mistake, Charles still forced his composure and said: "I understand now, sir, it was my fault that I just spoke to you in such a tone, and I apologize to you." I've lived in your country and haven't had time to figure out the relationships here. Let me make this clear, if I am rude to you and your sister, it must not be intentional, please forgive me! ”
Listening to Charles's sincere words, Du Wei couldn't say anything more, and he probably knew that the young man in front of him must have been "shot by an arrow" as the Nord myth said.
He shook his head absently, as if he didn't pay attention to what had just happened.
"Ha, it's okay my friend, it's proof that you're our friend by being here for our dinner. My name is Du Wei, the eldest son of Count Atlas and the elder brother of Elena, and if you can continue this friendship with us, you will have more opportunities to get to know me! But for now, I won't disturb you! After saying this, Du Wei smiled and left, as if his words were just a joke.
Du Wei had already recognized Charles's identity just now, and his somewhat strange robes, high laurel crowns, and messy garlands on his body all showed that he was the champion of the economic conference. For Charles, Du Wei actually has the mentality that he can be wooed, and he can't be wooed and doesn't care.
In his heart, he looked down on these foreign nobles, and in fact, he even looked down on the nobles of his own country. This is not that Du Wei is arrogant, you know, the glory brought to him by his respected father is unimaginable to others. Similarly, as a top "smart man", Du Wei's arrogance is understandable.
In fact, Du Wei also knows Charles' thoughts, and a young man like Charles with such thoughts must have eight if he doesn't meet ten in a year. But he didn't care, he had unparalleled confidence in his sister's vision. Maybe his sister is a little naughty in some ways, but in general, Du Wei will not believe that his sister can take a fancy to a "poor boy" like Charles.
But for Charles, the fact that the guy in the way is gone is the best thing in the world. His mind was now full of Elena's beautiful figure, and he wanted to possess her, like a miser who wanted to possess a gold coin, and as hungry as a landlord wanted to possess the land. No force could stop him from taking this beautiful girl into his hands, locking her in his house, and locking her up like a prisoner! Let her only face herself every day, and even if others look at her, he will angrily want to pull out the knife.
Maybe she offended her brother, but to hell with what happened to herself!
Charles stared at Elena with a straight stare at her, and he stared at her so straight that he didn't say anything until he saw her red-faced, and then he said, "Hello, Miss, I'm Charles, Charles. Bourbon. “
Elena raised her eyes, glanced at him for a moment, and said shyly, 'Elena, my name is Elena. ”
Charles was almost stunned, and the seductive look in those eyes almost drove him crazy. Like a fool, he muttered, "God, I won't blink an eye even if you call me dead now!" ”
Elena seemed to be taken aback by his words, she had never met such a reckless and bold young man in her short sixteen years of life.
Charles finally realized that he had abruptly behaved with the beauty, but at the moment he couldn't care much more, he stretched out his hand, solemnly took off the laurel crown on his head, and said word by word: "Elena, please allow me to call you so presumptuous!" You are my goddess, I am willing to dedicate my laurels in the athletic conference to you, please be sure to accept it! ”
Charles stared at the girl, her face instantly flushed with shyness. In this society, such an act is a confession of the most serious intentions, almost no different from a marriage proposal, or more accurately, a signal of the intention to propose.
Elena shyly took over the heavy friendship, her eyes quickly swept over Charles's face, and Charles was instantly fascinated. He felt nothing in this sudden ecstasy, but in the middle of the darkness he heard a voice whispering, "You are so reckless and bold, can't you talk to a girl in a different way!" ”
