275: Complicated (asking for a monthly pass, losing a subscription)
PS: I've been working overtime in the last few days, so I'm going to be a little late these days, so I beg your pardon.
But no one cares what the Campbell family thinks now, after all, the Campbell family is in decline, and their status in the power circle will only get lower and lower in the future, and naturally no one cares about their feelings.
In Campbell's next generation, there are no outstanding characters, and it can even be said that the next generation of the Campbell family is basically mediocre, and the only promising Mavis is still a mage, and the mage has nothing to do with politics, even if Mavis becomes a legend, it will not help the Campbell family politically.
Moreover, the only person who stands out is not on good terms with the Campbell family......
After Yacos and the others welcomed Solam, the Dronney family came up again to welcome and thank them.
Yacos and Corinna are engaged, and of course the people of the Dronni family are coming, but the interesting thing is that among the people brought by Capello, the patriarch of the Drony family, there is no Corinna's brother Pedro.
Pedro and Madame Muse only expressed their gratitude to Soram and the princess from afar, far away, and did not approach his father.
This is very interesting, on this occasion, Capello, the patriarch of the Drooney family, is reluctant to bring Pedro to attend, which can only show one thing, this old-fashioned father is unwilling to accept his son in his heart.
Well, now Silvermoon City describes Pedro's father, Duke Capello, as stubborn and old-fashioned. After all, no one would turn away such an excellent son for a trivial matter.
In the eyes of many nobles, although Pedro is a bit tough, but compared to his excellence, that shortcoming is nothing, even if he can't be an heir, he can be an important member.
But Capello refused to accept him, even if under the mediation of the queen, Capello did not expel Pedro from the family, but he still did not like him very much, and he was not even willing to live under the same roof.
In fact, within the Droni family, there are also many people who are puzzled by the decision of the head of the family, thinking that he is too strict with Pedro.
And what the truth is, only the two people involved know.
Finally, after a period of pleasantries, the ceremony officially began.
I saw the couple, accompanied by brothers, friends and girlfriends, entering from opposite sides of the hall, and interestingly, Pedro was actually standing behind Yacos, not behind Corinna.
Solam also saw Christie, who was right behind Corinna.
According to Northland customs, even if it is an engagement, there will be "bridesmaids" and "groomsmen". However, it is not as strict as in weddings, usually friends, brothers and sisters stand behind their families, and there is not much distinction between men and women.
When the lovers appeared, the blessings and cheers of the audience were sent to them, after all, they were the protagonists, so no one noticed Pedro behind Yacos.
His expression is very complicated now, there is sadness, pain, relief, and even a little anger, he himself does not know how to face this scene, he sees the combination of the person he loves the most and the person he loves most to him, which makes him feel betrayed.
Even if he knew that these two people didn't know his true feelings, their union could not be considered a betrayal. But he still couldn't control this feeling, he wanted to be angry, he wanted to mess up the engagement ceremony, which was blessed by everyone, but the only reason left in his heart was constantly preventing this feeling from growing.
He knew that if he really couldn't control his emotions, then it wasn't just him who would be hurt.
Madame Muse, who was in the crowd, looked as if she was looking at the couple with a smile on her face, but in fact, she was looking at Pedro, she could clearly feel the pain and anger in his heart, she knew that she was about to harvest, and she was waiting for Pedro to step into real despair.
At that time, she will be able to taste the thrill of the fall of a pure soul, and nothing compares to this!
In the engagement ceremony, according to custom, when presiding over the engagement vows, there is no need for a pastor to preside, only a priest is required for the formal wedding, and it is generally enough for the most respected person present to preside.
Since Lance is here, then of course this job is handed over to her, although she is not highly respected, but others are princesses, who dares to say anything. What's more, the two families are very supportive of this, and the princess is presiding over the engagement, what a big face.
.........
The engagement is very lively, but it has nothing to do with Solam, he has no interest in any kind of occasion, not to mention, from time to time, some inexplicable people come to talk to him, it's strange to be happy.
Just when Soram was annoyed, someone relieved him, that is, Mrs. Muse, she suddenly came over and sent an invitation to Solam, saying that the scene was too boring, and she wanted to walk in the garden, but it was too dark outside, and she was a little afraid so she wanted Soram to accompany her.
To be honest, although this woman didn't feel good about Solam, he still felt that accepting this woman's invitation was nothing compared to being harassed by a group of inexplicable people.
"Am I just annoying you?" While strolling through the gardens, Lady Muse finally uttered a long-standing question.
She asked herself if there was that thing, and no one would be able to see her true colors except the presence of the gods. But after meeting Soram a few times, Soram stayed away from her, as if he had seen a ghost.
Could it be that she is not beautiful enough? It couldn't be, and while that thing would have covered her up, it didn't have any effect on her charms.
This is also what she can't figure out, a woman is beautiful, rich, and so good to him, everyone will be tempted. But Soram still disdains her, if she didn't know, Soram likes women, and thinks he's a gay again.
"Uh......" Solam didn't expect this woman to be so direct, and suddenly he didn't know what to say, how to say it? Does it feel bad? This is too idealistic, and others don't believe it when you say it.
"Anyway, I think you and I are not the same kind of people."
Since I don't know what to say, let's talk nonsense, Soram is still very confident in this.
"Not one of the kind? Why? Soram is Muse's next target, even more important than Pedro, and she wonders why Soram doesn't want to see him, which is very important for her next step in approaching him.
"You see, you like art, and I'm not interested in that stuff at all. Look again, you love proms, but I hate them. Of course, this is not the only reason, we have a lot of differences, and we probably won't have any topics to talk about together. ”
When Muse heard this, she was stunned, for the first time she was hated for these reasons, and she didn't even know what to say.
"But you have a good relationship with Master Philip and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and you are the same kind of person as them?" The muse is the muse, and immediately found the loophole in Solam's words.
She likes art, it's not what she pretends to be, it's really like it, in her opinion, it's the only bright spot of human beings. But Philip is still an artist, how can you Soram be a brother to him, isn't this a double standard?
The gap between the princess and Soram is even greater, others are royal, richer than themselves, more powerful than themselves, but aren't you Soram the same as her?
"Well, how can you say that, it's because you don't know them." This is completely hard, because Soram really doesn't know how to take it, and the previous reasons are all blind to him, and now he has to come back like this. Otherwise, one lie has to be compensated for by more lies.
"But you don't know me either, do you? So how do you know if there will be no common topic between us? Sure enough, Muse still caught Soram's loophole.
However, her somewhat eager attitude made Soram a little strange, he thought he was quite attractive, but he couldn't make a woman so eager, not to mention that this woman was not familiar with him at all.
Seeing Solam's sudden frown, Muse immediately sobered up a little, she was too eager, which made Soram a little suspicious, and at the same time she was constantly examining herself in her heart.
"What's wrong with you, why are you so impatient every time you are in front of him?"
Muse kept questioning herself in her mind. In her opinion, it is absolutely impossible for her to make such a mistake herself, and her emotional management should be top-notch, but every time she sees Solam, her inner desires will get out of control, and even affect her behavior.
But the words have already been spoken, and Muse can't take it back, so she can only say it in passing.
"You know, I've known you for a long time, I noticed you when I was in the red boots in Locketown, you were fighting a waiter and a gang of thugs, I wanted to talk to you at the time, but there was an urgent matter for me to come back and deal with it personally, so I had to leave first."
Speaking of this, Muse secretly glanced at Soram, and found that he was listening carefully, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she was willing to listen to her, she was still very confident in her eloquence.
"At that time, I gave orders to the people below to treat you preferentially, just thinking that the next time I went back to Locke Town, I could get to know you. But bad luck, a lot of things happened later, and I didn't want to go to Locke Town, I was going to wait until everything was over, but you were already in Silvermoon City by then. After that, you're very clear. ”
Is this a confession? It's a confession, right? Solam was actually confessed today! Although it is very subtle, it is a confession no matter how you listen to it, right?
Don't blame Soram for thinking so, as long as it's a man, he will think so. Solam listens so seriously, in fact, the reason is very simple, that is, he likes to listen, yes, as long as a man likes to listen to this kind of talk.
When ordinary men hear this kind of words, even if they don't like to confess women, their hearts will be secretly refreshed, and the satisfaction of vanity is irresistible to anyone, right?
