Chapter 59: The Kingdom Ball
A few days later, the dance party officially began. The ball was held in an estate in the Upper Town.
Li Qiang, Sain, and the second prince Carl came to the scene very early.
Carl looked at Li Qiang, who had already begun to look good, and said, "How about Lien, who is familiar with the life of the aristocracy and feels the atmosphere of the upper class. β
Li Qiang heard the ridicule of the second prince Carl, rolled his eyes, and then said: "If the dance teacher who was stepped on by me many times is not angry, I think the atmosphere is still very sufficient." β
Hearing Li Qiang's self-deprecation, the second prince Carl and the knight of Cyne both smiled slightly. Three. Find a corner in the hall. Took the wine from the waiter's hand. The three of them sipped wine and chatted about the day.
Li Qiang took a sip of wine, then frowned and said to the second prince Carl: "Your wine here is so sour, can you add two spoonfuls of sugar?" β
Karl shook his head with a smile when he heard Li Qiang's words, and then said, "This is the taste of wine." Add sugar and it becomes juice. β
As the time approached, one after another noble carriages came to the front yard of the manor garden and slowly stopped, and pairs of upstream characters got off the carriage and walked into the hall under the guidance of the waiter.
Then the carriage was moved from the front yard to a clearing and waited, and several coachmen took out their pipes and smoked cigarettes while bragging to each other and chatting.
On the other side, Li Qiang slowly introduced the second prince Carl who was present. Seeing several ladies greeting him in the distance, the second prince Karl straightened his collar, returned the salute elegantly, and then got up to greet him.
Li Qiang looked at it with some surprise. The back of the second prince Karl who is far away. Turning his head to look at the Cyan Knight.
The knight of Thane, who had changed into a formal dress, took a sip of red wine. Not only does it not make people feel like a knight, but it is more like a nobleman. Knight Cyne pointed at Li Qiang and said, "The second prince Karl is very popular, as the second son of the king. Even if you can't inherit the throne in the future, there are many noble ladies who are eager to come, and you also know that the second prince has always been a person who does not refuse to come, so you know,"
Li Qiang nodded understandingly. At this time, a presiding figure rang a bell to signal that the ball was ready to begin. Everyone began to look for a dance partner, and Li Qiang shrugged his shoulders helplessly when he saw the scene in front of him.
At this time, the second prince, Karl, took a very beautiful blonde woman with him. came to the two of them and said, "I've already found a good female companion, so I won't talk to you two first, there are still people looking for me over there, I'll go first, bye." β
After finishing speaking, the second prince Karl took the blonde woman and walked towards the crowd again.
Li Qiang took a sip of wine, feeling that he really couldn't get used to the taste, and put the wine glass on the tray held by the waiter, just as he was about to ask Knight Sain.
I saw a noble lady with a good face but not a tall figure, who seemed to be not yet an adult, came to the side of the knight of Sain. Expertly stopped the arm of the Knight of Thane.
Seeing Li Qiang's stunned expression, Knight Sain smiled slightly, and then explained, "This is my fiancΓ©e. β
Fiancee! Hearing the words of his fiancΓ©e, Li Qiang was struck by lightning. Watching pairs of friends looking at themselves alone. Li Qiang lamented in his heart: "What kind of sin have I created, I have to come to this ball, but what about Edith, why didn't I see her figure?" β
Just when Li Qiang was sad alone. The host rang the bell again and announced that His Majesty the King was coming. The figures in the hall gradually stopped. Let's look at the stairs at the end of the hall. Waiting for the appearance of His Majesty the King.
His Majesty the King wears a sumptuous gown. Step by step down the steps. Stand on the countertop at the corner of the staircase. The king took the glass from the attendant's hand and said aloud to everyone, "Thank you, the nobles and elites of the kingdom, for coming to us, and I am hosting a welcome ball for Edith Norris, the only daughter of Grand Duke Norris and the first in line to the throne." β
All of a sudden, the hall burst into thunderous applause. Many people want to see it. The heir to the Norris family, who rarely appears in Intramuros. Quite a few young talents. With fire in his eyes, he hoped that the staircase would like to see Edith.
Li Qiang, who was looking at the scene in front of him, pouted alone, then moved his eyes, took out a digital video camera, and quietly placed it in a corner of the hall. A glance at the camera is very clear. Li Qiang nodded with satisfaction and used his magic to hide the camera's tracks.
Look at the empty corner. Li Qiang quietly walked back to the same place again. and so on, listening to the king's words.
King Colin took a sip of his wine and said, "Then let's welcome Edith Norris." β
Accompanied by thunderous applause, a figure at the mouth of the staircase. Wearing silver heels, step on the steps of the stairs.
Accompanied by the thumping sound of high heels and stairs and wooden stair countertops. Edith, dressed in full costume, appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone stared at Edith intently. Edith took her skirt and descended the stairs step by step to the king's side. He stretched out his hand and put it into the king's hand.
The king took Edith by the hand and motioned to the crowd.
There was thunderous applause below. Li Qiang. Looking at the silver-haired girl's completely different appearance and temperament from before, Li Qiang couldn't leave his gaze.
The king took Edith by the hand and walked step by step to the center of the hall. The host next to him immediately directed the band to play a beautiful music. With a long note of the violin, the ball officially began
Li Qiang was in the corner, looking at Edith dancing with the king. I made a decision in my heart. He glanced at the crowd.
Quietly took out the space scepter and used the power of the god of power, facing the ground, a silent light wave poured into the entire earth, and then Li Qiang continued as if nothing happened. He picked up the red wine and drank it
The king who felt the movement of the ground. Be. After getting down, he looked at Edith and said, "Does your little man have a lot of thoughts?" β
The girl's expression was as firm as ever. Edith said to the king, "Your Majesty, he is a lord, and Liszt is not my little man." β
King Colin did not continue to dwell too much on this issue. He nodded at several figures hiding in the shadows. Then he continued to say to Edith: "Today in the royal city. Many key figures have arrived at the scene, so the beam-jumping clowns who hide their faces behind their backs and don't want to show up will also have to come here. So you'll have to take a good look at all of them later. β
Edith nodded. The two continued to dance,
Li Qiang walked slowly around the periphery of the crowd. Suddenly, he heard the whispers of two people behind him. The magic mark on Li Qiang's hand shone brightly. He overheard a conversation between the two.
