Chapter Forty-Eight: The Prom

The appearance of the protagonist naturally attracted the attention of the audience.

Speaking of which, the former Violet family deliberately kept a low profile because of Charlie's gender issue.

I have never brought little Charlie into contact, the social circle of the nobles of the imperial capital.

Charlie, this is the first time before and after the secret exposure that he has 'appeared' on such an occasion.

The Marquis of Dow Jones was an all-encompassing master.

He walked up to Charlie with the Marquise.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to introduce you to the most beautiful star in the imperial capital, Miss Violet."

Originally, the Marquis wanted to say Charlie's full name.

However, the name 'Charlie' is obviously not suitable to be mentioned again.

After all, before the law was changed, the name was always reminiscent of the laws of the empire that had been violated.

simply, just said her last name.

The dignitaries present clapped their hands symbolically a few times.

After a brief introduction, the Marquis of Dow Jones leaned down and said to Charlie:

"Frye is rushing back, the opening dance may be too late, how about the second dance be handed over to you?"

Charlie: "......"

What the heck......?

Seeing that Charlie was slightly stunned, the marquis frowned slightly.

Originally, he thought that these two children should be consensual.

But looking at it during the day today, his son is estimated to be saved.

But this little girl ......

The Marquis narrowed slightly.

I remember that when I saw Charlie today, there was no shortage of handsome and outstanding young men around her.

Think about the rumors of 'affair' that circulated in high society after her husband's death......

The Marquis of Dow Jones's expression became a little subtle.

"Of course, if you have other dance partners you like, then I'll deal with the guests first, and you're at your own convenience."

After bowing his head, the marquis left with his wife Shi Shiran.

The Marquise didn't have time to say a word to Charlie.

At this time, she has the 'Black Angel' on her neck.

"Honey, didn't you say you wanted to match two children?

Also, didn't you say that you were going to introduce Charlie to those friends of you? ”

Marquis Dow Jones's circle of friends is at least a hereditary marquis of the empire.

If, these people 'approve' Charlie, it is not impossible for the empire to change the constitution tomorrow.

The Marquis did not say much, and his wife tacitly did not ask.

Charlie breathed a sigh of relief.

The White Rose Mentor behind him stepped forward, "Why did you refuse?" ”

Charlie: "Well, that's why I've said it, I'm not in that relationship with Frye, but I feel that Mr. Marquise's attitude towards me has changed a lot......

I didn't figure it out myself, but I always felt that he didn't misunderstand something......

If the Marquis really misunderstood, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Frye and I then? ”

"Misunderstanding? Embarrassed? ”

Seeing the stupid apprentice's muttering, Bai Rose was about to laugh angrily at her.

As long as Charlie can take half of the goblin ingenuity out of this kind of thing.

She wouldn't have heard such a 'stupid thing'.

"You used to be a 'man', and the son of that marquis may really be a friend of you, as you say."

"But dear student, look at the way you have lost your soul when you appear in front of that silly boy today.

His eyeballs are going to fall out of their sockets, huh! ”

Charlie: "......"

How could she have time to care about these things at that time?

Just kidding, the ideal township has come over, and if you don't agree with you, you're going to shoot, and at that time, the mentor who still wanted to fall in love with boys and girls was the biggest 'heretic', right?!

To be honest, even the current ball, she didn't understand it very much.

At this time, shouldn't everyone be distressed, how to peacefully resolve the conflict between the ideal township and the imperial capital?

Why is she the only one who has a headache?

Why are so many people still here and so casually mingling?

But Bai Rose said coldly at this time: "Your reaction just now seems to make your 'good friend's father angry." ”

"He doesn't lend his son 'to you' to dance. Did you bring your own dance partner? ”

"Shrimp?" Charlie, who realized it later, then remembered this question.

Charlie looked confused.

By the way, I feel that I just ignored some important issues!

What the hell is the second dance?

Cha Li went to the Marquis of Dow Jones to talk about it.

At this time, the ceremonial officer guarding the gate poked the ground twice with his scepter.

"Imperial General, His Majesty the Emperor personally bestows the wearer of the Blue Sky Gemstone Cross, His Excellency Frye Dow Jones here!"

Then, the door opened, and Fry, who had changed into a noble and gorgeous costume, appeared behind the open door.

This is the first time Charlie has seen the other party dressed like this.

It feels like a prince out of a fairy tale.

No, Frye, who has experienced the baptism of war, has more of an indescribable smell of unknown origin.

In short, compared to the last time Charlie saw him, he seemed to have more of the charm of a mature man.

As soon as Frye appeared, all the nobles and ladies in the audience surrounded him.

It's like putting a pot of blooming flowers in the midst of a bee.

It's really a 'swarm'.

Although, Charlie was also in the spotlight when he appeared.

But obviously, Frye was a little more 'loved'.

After all, one is a worthy 'hero' of the Empire, the wearer of the Blue Sky Jewel Cross.

The other is the 'rebellious earl girl' who uses the muzzle of the ideal township on the top of her head to put up against everyone.

I don't look like I'm going to be popular.

So, what is the meaning of the Marquis of Dow Jones calling himself over?

"Heh, are you still hard-mouthed?"

White Rose took the wine from the attendant beside her, squinted at Frye, who was surrounded by aristocratic ladies, and asked.

"I didn't have that idea before, and I don't have it now, but his father made me care about it......

What did you mean in the previous invitation......

I looked as if I wanted to be a peacemaker for the Ideal Township and the Empire.

But just now, there was a sudden outcome, and I can't tell what the marquis means now. ”

When it comes to serious things, Charlie is straightforward.

Lady White Rose: "......"

Looking at Frye, who was still patiently dealing with the celebrities who 'pounced' over, White Rose felt that she was too tired.

As a person who has come over, White Rose can clearly see that the 'Yan Fu is not shallow' Frye is searching for someone in the audience.

If it had been the gloomy Earl who always walked with his head down, and covered half of his face with his excessively long forehead hair, Frye might have looked for it for a while.

But now Charlie and White Rose are standing here, like two gems that will glow automatically.

Across the crowd, the two looked at each other.

Frye smiled helplessly at Charlie.

Charlie understood, and immediately smiled back, saying that it didn't matter on his side, and let Frye deal with the matter in front of him first.

White Rose looked at it and shook her head slightly.

In her opinion, it is clearly a pair of young people who are very right.

Thinking of the second dance, Charlie wanted to continue looking for the Marquis, but at this time, the music played live suddenly changed.

The music is transformed into beautiful dance music.

Then, the crowd retreated, vacating the central area of the field, forming a dance floor.

The Marquis of Dow Jones had already taken Madame's hand and walked gracefully onto the dance floor for the first opening dance.

The otherworldly social dance is very different from the waltz that Charlie has learned before.

The retro and elegant dance steps, with the three points of aristocratic reserve and seven points of pride, almost left Charlie in a cold sweat.

This one...... She really can't!

It's too late to say that the second dance will be replaced temporarily.

And she doesn't know how to dance here, and she doesn't have a partner......

The only people she knew in the audience were Frye and the Marquis of Dow.

But Frye was still surrounded by the girls.

Obviously, Frye, who wanted to leave several times, was stopped by the girls under various pretexts.

Charlie was still staring at the marquis dancing on the dance floor.

Lowered her voice and whispered to the White Rose:

"Mentor, save an emergency, it's really not okay for a while, let's jump one!"

confirmed this apprentice, indeed in some ways, the crooked white rose: "......"

A dance piece is not long, but it is not short.

But when it ended, apparently, Charlie could only bite the bullet.

One song is finished, and then a new song is made.

The Marquis announced in a loud voice, "Then, the next dance will be handed over to the Lord of the 'Ideal Country', Charles Violet." ”

Charlie was helpless and began to grope for the Aine Stone.

She wanted to use the Anamorphic Arcane to transform this beautiful dress into a men's dress.

Then, invite your mentor to dance a waltz and then flick a few words and you're done!

Hurry up and put an end to this slightly embarrassing scene.

I didn't see her move for a long time.

Didn't even see a man around her.

The nobles present began to whisper.

The girls around Frye were even more vigorous, pulling Frye and preventing him from passing.

'Does this [Lord Count] have no dance partner?' It's so pitiful~'

'Ah, aren't you going to end yet?' How long will we have to wait? Isn't there a man who goes to [be generous] to righteousness? ’

If I were her, I would have fled the venue in shame at this time. ’

……

Even when Charlie heard these cold words, he felt that it was nothing.

She thinks more openly.

After all, the muzzle of the ideal township is now on top of everyone's heads.

This doesn't make people resist by force, doesn't it make people say a few cool words?

She's not that domineering.

But the legendary arcanists around him are not good at stubble.

The white rose, which was still sarcastic about Charlie's head and let the dragon gnaw it, instantly became murderous.

Before Charlie could pull his own mentor who was about to go crazy.

A loud voice resounded throughout the audience.

"The Third Prince of the Empire has arrivedβ€”"

The voice of the herald seemed to have changed.

Everyone looked at the slowly opening door in astonishment.

Standing behind the door, he was dressed in a platinum prince's gown, with a golden ribbon, and a platinum nebula medal, which symbolized royal status and was given at birth.

The third prince was also the only unmarried son of the emperor.

The Marquis frowned slightly.

The Marquise lowered her voice and asked, "Have you sent an invitation to Your Highness?" ”

"Nope." The Marquis of Dow Jones replied coldly.

But the people have come in, and the marquis cannot drive them away.

The Third Highness who came in directly ignored the nobles who saluted him.

Like a vulture that smells blood, he goes straight to the person who stands out in the hall - Charlie Violet.

Frye also seemed to realize something.

This time, he no longer dealt with the gentlemanly demeanor and pleasantly with a pleasant face, and the celebrities around him who were entangled with him in every way.

But a strong hand was on his shoulder.

Frye turned his head and met the Marquis's deep eyes.

The Marquis of Dow Jones shook his head slightly.

The handsome young man's lips opened slightly, and then pursed quietly.

He couldn't understand his mood at this time, he only felt a wave of restlessness surging in his heart.

"Beautiful young lady, may I ask you to do a dance?"

The third prince smiled at his most charming face.

His presence was really too timing.

Even if Charlie doesn't want to see His Royal Highness the prince in his heart, he can't say anything to refuse.

The prince was very good at judging the situation, and seeing that Charles was hesitant a little, he took her hand.

Charlie, who is evaluating whether he will pull the mentor to waltz or let the prince 'save the scene', is hesitating.

Seeing the girl's hesitation, the prince, who entered the scene at the right time, took advantage of the situation.

Caught off guard, Charlie is pulled onto the dance floor.

The picture looks like a very reserved girl being brought onto the dance floor by a passionate prince.

Prince George smiled charmingly, but Charlie stopped talking a few times.

"What makes the most beautiful flower of the empire frown?" The prince had already taken the dance.

Charlie, on the other hand, let out a long sigh.

"It's this dance, Your Highness, I can't dance."

To be precise, she really can't dance the dance danced by the nobles here.

Prince George: "......"

But as long as there is a pair here to refer to, she will not make a fool of herself.

However, the first three dances here are all solo dances.

That's embarrassing.

Soon, the nobles present found out that there was a problem.

The ladies had to unfold their lace fans to cover their mouths in order to laugh out loud.

Their shoulders trembled with laughter.

The men also looked strange and finally began to laugh in a low voice.

There was laughter mixed in with the dance music.

With a blank face, the White Rose Mentor raised a Legendary Aine Stone above his head.

Then......

The laughter and whispers of criticism from the audience were instantly silenced.

The embarrassing song is finally over.

Charlie had to admire the third prince.

In almost 5 minutes of dancing, she stepped on the other party's feet at least 30 times.

Far from being impatient, the prince kept his smile unchanged the whole time.

Charlie admires this qi-nourishing kung fu.

At the end of the song, Charlie seems to have escaped and returned to his mentor.

She patted her chest, "It's so embarrassing......"

White Rose asked expressionlessly, "Did you say you wanted to pull me to the second dance before, did you want to go up and stomp my feet flat?" ”

Charlie: "...... Well, I wanted to use the Olympiad to dance a new dance with my mentor, and then I said it was a celebration dance in our ideal township, so I fooled the past. ”

With that, the third solo dance has begun.

It was Frye who entered, and there was also a noble girl who thought she was outstanding and had her chest up.

Probably the previous comparison group was so miserable that everyone had a feeling that the two who were dancing were a good match.

But if you look closely, it's not hard to see that from time to time, Frye will sweep in Charlie's direction.

Will she feel embarrassed?

Will you secretly cry when you go back because of what happened just now?

Will...... What is the misunderstanding?

Thinking about it, Fry once again distanced himself slightly from his dance partner.

But the young lady who danced with him was so enthusiastic that no matter how many times Frye pulled away, the other party would always quickly stick up again.

The third prince was not idle.

Probably with a sigh of relief on his feet, he immediately walked to Charlie's side with two glasses of wine.

Naturally, he handed Charlie a drink.

"Here, beautiful young lady."

Charlie: "......"

Taking the drink, Charlie looked down and looked worriedly at the prince's feet.

"Prince George, are your feet okay? I really apologize for 120,000 points! ”

The prince's gentle smile stiffened for a moment.

"It's okay, please don't care."

Charlie bowed, then continued to look at Frye, who was dancing on the dance floor.

She was just watching how the dance was done, but apparently a certain prince had misunderstood.

Squinting slightly, Prince George also looked at Fry.

Just then, his gaze met the afterglow that Frye had swept in.

For the first time, Prince George saw hostility in Frye's eyes.

He looked sideways at Charlie, who whispered a few words to White Rose from time to time.

"Shall I have the pleasure of inviting you to dance again, beautiful young lady?" His Royal Highness the Prince struck decisively.

Kick out your feet and invite Charlie to do the dance below, in case some young imperial hero runs out of the way.

Charlie just wanted to refuse, but he heard a cold voice behind him: "The dance behind her is all mine." ”

The sudden appearance of the voice frightened the prince to look back.

Charlie and White Rose were shocked.

Just because of this voice, they will not forget it once they hear it.

Sure enough, the prestige was found......

The black gold monarch was wearing an elven black robe that was incompatible with the noble costumes of the scene.

I don't know when he stood behind the prince.
