Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Court Dinner
In the middle of the night, in the heart of the Drof Lov, in the Geffen Palace, six chandeliers, 12 candlesticks and nearly 100 candles made of ghoul oil make the whole hall as bright as day.
Elegant music plays, all kinds of brightly colored clothes shuttle back and forth here, on the stage, skirts fly, gentlemen and ladies wear gorgeous costumes, hug each other, and walk with elegant steps to the music.
Under the stage, people discussed quietly, touched wine glasses, and small voices gathered together to fight against the music.
It was a celebratory dinner, but strangely enough, the two people who had the most credit for killing the evil god were surrounded by a blank space.
Prince Gross was a little better, at least he was with the Queen, and people used the excuse of not disturbing him to get along with the Queen, but they just came up to say hello at first and then left far away, not even saying hello, just nodding their heads and raising a glass from afar, which was considered a hello.
As for Angela's side, no one approached from the beginning, and even if someone approached, he would be quickly stopped by his relatives and friends, and then whispered a few words in his ear, and then, these merry young nobles who wanted to get close because of Angela's beauty changed their faces greatly, and walked around Angela as if they were hiding from the plague.
Angela was happy too, shaking her glass and looking around with interest.
All sorts of small sounds entered her ears, and then they were quickly summarized and sifted through all kinds of useful information.
On the east side of the hall, a group of old men gathered there, exchanging glasses, blurting out all kinds of suggestive words, eyes intertwined, and in a moment, some kind of tacit understanding had been reached, this is a group of old monsters who are proficient in strategy, stupid and shrewd, and often have amazing strength in internal fighting.
On the west side, a group of people dressed out of place in the hall were gathered around, wearing huge gold necklaces and rings, and in the eyes of the members of the old aristocratic families, they were nouveau riche. Yes, these guys are indeed nouveau riche, they are members of a werewolf gang, all werewolves, relying on sudden strength to get to where they are today. It is also because of their over-reliance on power that they have a somewhat "upright" personality, and their words are rude and straightforward, but this does not mean that they are easy to deal with, in fact, to some extent, they are the nemesis of that group of shrewd old guys.
In the corner, where is a group of handsome men and beautiful women, with **naked carnal desire between actions, this is a transaction, a transaction between vampires, they are exchanging female companions, no, no, they are exchanging blood food, this is diplomacy that belongs exclusively to vampires.
And above the stage, the queen sat on her throne and looked at everything below, her face was slightly red, her eyes were full of charm, her ruddy and seductive lips moved slightly, as if she was talking to Gross about the affairs between husband and wife, Gross was smiling, and she also looked at the queen with tenderness in her eyes, as if she was responding, it seemed that the couple who had been separated for a long time were in love. But is this really the case, no, no, the union of the two of them may have the element of love in it, but it is not the reason why they are really united, the reason for their real union is power.
The queen values Gross's strength to stabilize his power, and Gross values the queen's status to take him to the next level, and the combination of the two of them is perfect on a city-wide level, so they will be combined.
And also for the sake of power, the queen will be a very qualified wife, will kill her former lover for Gross, remain loyal, and even tolerate Gross having other women.
And Gross will also become the sharpest knife for the queen, killing everyone who threatens the queen, even his own illegitimate children.
Therefore, at this moment, they are not talking about love, but how to use this time to sacrifice the triumph of 7000 elites to stabilize their position.
Even on a cheerful stage, it's not easy.
At this critical juncture, these gentlemen and ladies are particularly strict in the choice of dance partners, and at this moment they are no longer looking at each other's appearance, but at the family behind each other.
Every rejection means an estrangement, and every invitation and acceptance represents a goodwill.
These are all things that belong to the big people, and those little people are not idle.
The beautiful maid with the tray is looking around, hoping to be taken by a noble lord.
The fat maid who swept the table stared at the food on the table with wide eyes, thinking about how to pocket it after the ball.
The chef in the kitchen couldn't help but take a bite of the same food, squinting his eyes and pretending to nod.
All of this is like a delicate stage play in Angela's eyes and ears, and she admires the intrigues and shady deals in it, and looks forward to the outbreak of conflict between the two sides.
But after all, there was still an accident, a young handsome young man opened the hand blocked by his companion, came to Angela's face, and looked at Angela with obsessive eyes: "Beautiful young lady, can I ask you to dance?" ”
Angela Angela put down her glass, glanced at him slightly sideways and suspiciously, then turned her head away and continued to look at the others with interest.
She is not interested in this guy, whether he is stupid, too ambitious, too shrewd, calculated or calculated, or lustful, no matter what calculations he has in his heart, but his strength is too weak, in front of Angela is an ant, an existence that can be easily pinched to death if he doesn't pay attention, for such a guy who is not self-sufficient, Angela does not intend to pay attention to him.
"Beautiful young lady, please answer me."
This handsome guy was ashamed and angry because of Angela's ignorance, and his face was swollen and red. Once again, it blocked Angela's view.
This time, Angela finally looked up.
She could clearly hear the young man's heart pounding, and it seemed that he was very nervous.
Angela smiled, smiled very charmingly, and just when a glimmer of hope flashed in the young man's heart, Angela spoke: "Get out!" ”
The smile on the young man's face stiffened, and his flushed face turned pale.
There was a sound of chuckling around, and I saw that the noble ladies and ladies raised their colorful fans to cover half of their faces, while the young noble gentlemen pursed their lips and turned their heads.
It seems that the guys are coming, and they are all watching here, intentionally or unintentionally.
These chuckles were not loud, but they were like a steel knife into the young man's heart, shame was like a poisonous snake gnawing at his soul, and at this moment, he was almost out of control.
"You ......"
He raised his head violently, wanting to scold Angela, but saw Angela's cold gaze, and then, he shivered all over, felt a chill to the bone, his lips trembled, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat and couldn't spit out.
"Sorry to interrupt."
After saying this, he felt that his back and crotch were already wet, and he clamped his legs hard, but they were covered by the long hem of his clothes, so he was not noticed by others for the time being, in order to cover his shame, he turned away expressionlessly, so as not to let others see the abnormality.
