Three hundred forty-two. Baron's Night

Baron's Night!

It was a masquerade that was the envy of all those who knew the Tao but couldn't attend.

As night fell in Washington, a number of cars appeared outside the Wittgenstein estate with the costumed guests.

The theme of today's masquerade ball is Baron's Night, which is an exciting ball.

Some of the men and women who entered the estate were disguised as English barons or baronesses. Others simply donned a skull mask.

Everyone who sees this mask will smile.

They play the role of a skull baron!

Ah, now the baron's reputation in the United States is too great

Of course, there are also people who come in imitation military uniforms, the kind of old-fashioned German military uniforms, which have recently been very popular in the United States since Baron Skeleton appeared in Shanghai.

Baron's Night, many people speculate that it was held in the name of the Skull Baron, and such banquets have been happening very frequently in the United States recently.

There is a "Baron Dinner", there is a "Baron Charity Auction", and even in some nightclubs, similar events have been held.

At this moment, a car stopped at the door, and Reilly stopped the car and said to a person next to him, "Hey, I worked a lot to get this invitation, good luck." ”

"Thank you."

The man finished speaking, pushed the car door and walked out

Elliot stood at the door of the manor, checking the invitations of the guests. Then let it go.

At this moment, he saw a man walking towards him.

The man was dressed in an M1842-style white royal parade dress in old-fashioned German red finish, with brandenburg cuffs and bright red collar badges and piping for the Bavarian infantry. and the lemon yellow armband trim of the Bavarian Corps. There were also double cuffs of Bavarian light infantry on the sleeves.

He wore a familiar skull badge on his neckline, and several medals on his chest.

Eliot specialized in these. Ah, that's the Iron Cross of the 1st degree, that's the Blue Marx Medal, hell, there's a Big Iron Cross?

This person has put a lot of effort into dressing up today, but how can a person get so many medals? In particular, the Blue Order of Marx and the Grand Iron Cross. He also dared to bring? It's simply an insult to the German medal!

Looking into his face, Elliot noticed that the guest was wearing a peculiar mask, looking. Like a smiling Grim Reaper?

Damn it, with such a mask!

Elliot was a little unhappy with the guest, but he said politely, "Sir, do you have an invitation?" ”

"Yes. I have. The guest handed the invitation to Elliot.

"Lucas. David. Mr. Hamlington. Welcome to the Wittgenstein estate. ”

Mr. Lucas nodded at Elliot, and walked into the manor

What a peculiar man, Elliot muttered, and then retracted his attention

Today's Hermione. On Mrs. Wittgenstein's birthday, when she accepted everyone's congratulations, the wonderful ball soon began.

Many people come to the Wittgenstein estate for the first time and are full of admiration for the estate.

The meadow is full of mesmerizing lights and full of guests enjoying it all.

"Hermione, you're so charming today." Lady Lorissa said this to her best friend.

"Thank you. Lisa Lo. Hermione was smiling as well, "Aren't you dancing?" ”

"Ah, I haven't danced in a long time." Luo Lisa looked at the guests on the grassland: "I want to go back to the holiday and rest." ”

"It's good. I'll come back to see you later. ”

When Luo Lisa returned to her room, her eyes lingered on the guests for a while. She wanted to see that familiar figure among these guests, but she knew that it was impossible

Lucas arrived late in the pasture, when the piano music was playing and the guests were already dancing.

Lucas stood there calmly and watched. Some of the male and female guests who passed by him couldn't help but look at the strangely masked guest.

Even though it's a masquerade, you don't need to get such a mask

"Can you play 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'?" Lucas approached the pianist and asked.

The pianist nodded, and Lucas took out a ten-dollar sheet and put it on his piano: "Can you play a song?" ”

The dreamlike tune of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" soon sounded

"Mr. Prossi, I need a break."

"Well, ma'am, would you like something to drink?"

"Ah, no," said Mrs. Lotrissa, and a person suddenly froze there for a while, and the lady's voice trembled a little: "Is it 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' that is playing outside?" ”

Prossi listened: "Yes, what's wrong?" Madam? This favorite tune is often played here."

"Yes, but" Luo Lisha's voice was really a little trembling: "But I suddenly had a feeling, I don't know what the road is for, this feeling is very strong"

At this time, the music outside changed again, becoming the "Beautiful Melousina" overture

Lady Lolisa's whole body became stiff, and she listened there in a daze, and then Luo Lisa said word by word:

"He's coming!"

"Who, ma'am?" Prossi didn't understand at all.

"He's back, I can feel it, she's really back" Lady Lolisa's voice was still trembling, but there was a great joy in her voice: "Prosi, I swear, I can feel that he's outside right now!" ”

She struggled to control her trembling body, and then, suddenly mad, rushed out of the city

Prossi was dumbfounded, since his first day as Madame's butler, he had never seen Madame so out of shape

"Lisa Lo, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Luo Lissa rushing out, Hermione hurriedly asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

"He's back, he's back!" Luo Lisa kept repeating the phrase: "I can feel, I can feel where he is, where he is"

Her eyes searched the crowd, and she swore he had returned

Her gaze fell to the piano, and next to the piano stood a man in a white royal parade dress.

At this moment, for Lady Lorissa, the heavens and the earth had stood still, and she could not hear the music and the noise of the guests, and in her ears, only one voice echoed:

"Will you come to see me?"

"I will! I promise that no matter how many years have passed, no matter what hardships have been encountered, one day I will appear in front of you. Don't forget, I owe you two things. ”

Now, it's time for him to make good on his promise!

In Luo Lisha's eyes, there was no one in sight, only the figure of that person:

Even though he was wearing a strange mask, that figure was so familiar and kind in Luo Lisa's eyes. Even if he wrapped himself in a cloak, Luo Lisa swore that she would recognize him at a glance!

The passage of time can't stop her from missing him at all!

Luo Lisa didn't cry, she forced herself not to cry. She had waited so much for this day, and had spent so many nights of longing. He swore countless times:

As long as you can still see him, you must show him the most beautiful side of yourself!

You can't cry, you can't cry

"Lisa Lo, what's wrong with you?" Hermione was in a hurry.

Lorissa pushed away Hermione's hand that was holding her arm, and walked towards it step by step

Hermione was stupid, and Elliot was stupid, and they didn't know what was going on

Luo Lisa took her steps forward step by step, and she found that every step she moved was so hard

She finally came to the man wearing the mask, and then, she silently watched him, gently stroking the mask

Grim Reaper with a smile!

The man, too, stood there straight, motionless and at the mercy of Lady Lorissa

The guests were all dumbfounded. What's wrong with the mysterious, noble, and glamorous Lady Lolisa? Hermione, on the other hand, suddenly seemed to understand something

"Aunt Hermione, what's the matter, ma'am?" Elliot thought it was too strange: "The man's name is Lucas, and he is just a stockbroker from New York, and he is a nouveau riche. ”

"No, he's not an upstart." Hermione suddenly felt her eyes moisten: "I know it, it's him, it must be him." No one but him can make Lady Lorissa like this."

"You're back" When Luo Lisa finally said these two words with difficulty, tears finally flowed out of her eyes completely uncontrollably.

"I'm back, I promised you, no matter how hard it is, one day I will be back." The man under the mask said, "Don't cry, it will ruin the image of the countess." ”

Luo Lisa smiled and wept, and then said, "You still owe me two things, remember?" ”

"Of course I remember, I'm here to make good on my promise."

"So, then, I'm going to exercise my right now, can I, Mr. Baron?"

"We're here for you, Countess."

"Please dance with me!"

"It's my greatest pleasure."

The dreamlike music of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" began to sound again at Wittgenstein Manor! (To be continued.) )
