Chapter 122: A Banquet by the Sea

The sunset at the edge of the sky is purple and red, and the clouds reflected in the sky from below are beautiful, and the seagulls hovering in the harbor under the clear sky, and the tide on the seaside is dyed golden by the setting sun.

A group of armed men dressed in various costumes stood in front of a sea cliff, and the two sides stood on one side and confronted each other, and after a long time, several carriages parted the crowd and slowly drove into the mansion on the hill of the sea cliff, which was already lit with candles.

After the two parties of the five chambers of commerce checked together, they slowly withdrew and let the maids and attendants go in to prepare the dinner.

It was getting darker, and the wind was moist and slightly cool, but it was still comfortable.

Lorain Hill stood by the window, letting the breeze roll up his cuffs, through his fingers, through his wrists, and into the bustling hall.

Tonight, in this mansion, not only the high-level leaders of the five major chambers of commerce gathered, but other celebrities and neutral organizations in Hopland were also invited, such as the former Lady Filia, the leader of the White Blue Cross Sword, Master Heran, the bishop of the Pure White Church, Zhu Ya, etc., and naturally the previous alchemist Zenep.

The lights in the hall are brilliant, and the celebrities who have experienced the fierce conflict a few days ago are gradually relaxing at this moment, in their opinion, the Chamber of Commerce, or making money, what can not be discussed, as long as the two sides are no longer in civil war, and can return to the prosperous and comfortable life before.

In the hall that gradually became lively, some violinists began to play, they sat in the corridor of the ring hall on the second floor, the piano also began to sound, the sound of wine glasses clashing from time to time in the venue, and a waiter carried a variety of food through the crowd.

"You're still here, Miss Lacey."

Meilu was still wearing a light green dress, and walked slowly, there was a man beside her, it was Jelde, who was wearing a black dress to protect her side at the moment, and when she saw Meilu and Lacey talking, she didn't continue to approach, and then stayed aside.

"Isn't it lonely to be alone here?"

Melw asked, then stood with Loren Hill and looked out the window at the seaside.

"I'm not lonely, in fact, I like to be alone, and I feel comfortable and comfortable."

"Well, I can't do it, I love the feeling of being with my family, relatives and friends. Even if I don't say anything, I feel a faint sense of happiness when I watch them talk and laugh. Meilu's eyes were full of nostalgia.

"Yes, I don't experience this kind of emotion very much, because I am the only child in the family, and my father is away all the year round, and only my mother is with me. But my mother didn't understand my feelings, and I often tried to escape her love for me. Lorraine Hill reminisced about her past.

"Why run away, isn't love good?"

"Because this love contains too many expectations, it is too heavy, and I can't be the perfect child in their eyes."

"I couldn't do as hard work, as hard work, as tireless as my mother expected."

"I'm more timid, I want to be lazy, I want to give up, but in the eyes of my elders, it's a shame and a shame."

"How can you give up at will, do you know how much I have paid for you?"

"I can't refute such great love, I can only try to live in discomfort and low self-esteem." Lorain Hill ruffled her windswept hair.

"Can't you see, Lacey, do you have low self-esteem?"

"Yes, I almost never get complimented by my mother, who always has a keen eye for my weaknesses and then exposes them."

"Meru, you know what. All the dependence of a child comes from his parents, and if his parents have not approved of him, what a terrible thing it is. ”

Meilu seemed to understand something, but continued to ask curiously.

"But you're so confident now, as if there's a light shining on you."

"Giggles, no, not so bad." Lorain Hill covered her mouth and smiled.

"Yes, indeed." Meru looked at Lorain Hill in front of the window, her clear eyes reflecting the candlelight in the hall, exuding an air of nature and tranquility, a kind of calm pride and confidence, so shining that people couldn't help but fall into it.

What made her break out of her cocoon and become a butterfly?

The banquet in the hall gradually entered a climax, and some people began to spin and dance in the ball, and the fluffy skirts slowly floated as they swirled, like lotus flowers in full bloom.

Many violinists on the second floor of the hall also played cheerful music, and the melodious notes danced to the beat with the people in the hall.

Adeley and Wick of the Tisiphone family sat at a small table by the side, with a candlestick and wine glasses.

"Why, why don't you go dancing with your fiancée?"

Wick looked at Kazuna, who was surrounded by a group of girlfriends, and said to Adeley.

"I'm afraid I'm going to lose face and mock me if I go now." Addley sipped his crimson wine and smiled.

"Her personality is very easy to understand, and then there is time to coax her."

"You're still so good at playing with girls' minds."

"What about Miss Lacey? Not obsessed now? Wick continued.

"Well, she."

Adelley picked up his glass and looked at Loren Hill in the distance, letting his figure sway slightly in his vision through the wine-red transparent liquor.

"It's still so dazzling." He sighed, then continued.

"As long as she is honest, she can still survive."

"But if she was so obedient, she wouldn't be so attractive to you." Wick added from the sidelines.

"yes."

"It reminds me of a quote from the East, which is so apt."

"What's the matter?" Wick asked curiously.

"If life is only as it first sees."

"That night, after I had shown my kindness, she drank the glass of wine, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her smile was like a flower, so touching."

Adley's tone was ethereal, as if he was reminiscing and regretting.

"Will you be sincere, Edley?"

"Really? If there is a goal that is extremely desired, it is. ”

"Will you relent, then?"

"No, I could even kill her with my own hands."

"Then I'll be relieved."

Wick looked at his brother, his short black hair under the bronze chandelier, casting a faint shadow over his eyes, which reflected the whole hall as if he were thinking about something more distant.

Outside the brightly lit hall, Hopland had already entered the night, starlight, braziers burned quietly on both sides of the avenue, reflecting all directions, and the sea cliffs under the mansion hung down ropes, and black figures followed.

The head of the House of Agetilyn, Jelink, is unwell, and his second son, Daniel, will preside over the banquet and negotiations tonight.

Sorry.,Stuck in the text.,Adjusted the state.,There's still a chapter in the evening.
