Chapter 392: Before the Reception
Look left and right in the mirror. Pete always felt that something was wrong with himself. He couldn't understand why the nobles' formal attire felt so awkward.
To make matters worse, these clothes were very troublesome to wear, and the half-elf had to get them together for a long time, but they couldn't get it right, and finally had to ask their mother to help them, which was barely completed.
"Are you really not going with us?" Behind Pete, his mother, a middle-aged woman who still had charm, asked him with some dissatisfaction, "Your father will be upset!" ”
The half-elf moved his hands and feet, and after confirming that this gorgeous dress was as he imagined, his body was very restrained, and he couldn't make too many movements, and his brows furrowed even deeper: "I made an appointment with Robert and them, besides, you have Vecna with you, isn't it?"
The middle-aged woman smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I don't understand, your father recognized a goddaughter." Why are you throwing such a tantrum out? Haven't you always wanted a sister before? ”
Peter. With a sigh of enjoyment, he grabbed an equally gorgeous hat from the table and put it on his head; "I don't have a problem with him wanting to admit his goddaughter, and I'm happy to have another sister, but the problem is, my father doesn't think like this at all! I know what he's up to! It's impossible between me and Vikna, so you can save your worries! ”
"Why can't it be? The woman was a little puzzled, "Is there anything wrong with Vikna?" She's beautiful, huh? And he has a good temper and is diligent. It's still very popular with the president, isn't it? ”
"The problem is that I don't feel anything about her at all. If I'm not mistaken, she's the same for me! Pete was a little helpless, "I don't expect my love to be as vigorous as you and my father, but at least, it must be the woman I like, whether she is a human, or an elf, or some other race!" ”
With that, he turned around and hugged his mother. Leave a light kiss on the other party's forehead: "I'm going to go first, see you at the reception." Mother".
Sending Pete out the door, the woman sighed as she watched him walk towards another house not far away. Shook his head. I was about to turn around and go to the house to change my clothes, but I saw my husband Kedrak standing behind me at some point.
"He's grown up and matured! Learn to think for yourself! The archery master was also sighing, and his handsome face was full of loss. Looks like he doesn't need my protection anymore and doesn't like me to organize his life, does he? ”
The woman chuckled and said, "Let him do what he wants!" We can't always treat him like a child! Anyway, he's an earl now! ”
"I hope he changes his impulsive temper! I'm afraid he'll cause some trouble." Kedrak whispered, taking his wife's hand. "Young people are always easy to be proud, and if he has half the poise of a president, I can rest assured!"
"Don't talk about that, let's go change our clothes, Vikna may be back when she comes." The woman dragged her husband's hand into the room, but she was a little worried when she stood in front of the mirror, "The elves are good, they have been for more than twenty years. You're still so young, you look like Pete's brother, and I'm so old. We're going to get a joke out together! Or I'd better not go! ”
Kedrak was a little displeased when he heard this: "How many times have I told you, I don't care about this!" There is nothing to care about in the eyes of the world, as long as we are happy together, isn't it? I love you as a person, not your looks! ”
Saying that, he gently hugged his human wife: "What's more, in my eyes, you will always be the most beautiful."
"Have you ever regretted being forced to leave the Elven Kingdom because of me?" The woman asked faintly.
"Never!" Kedrak smiled. Holding his wife's hand harder, "I know what you want to ask, you want to ask why I've been unhappy in Hammondale all these years, right?" Actually, I'm not happy, it's not because of you, but I'm worried about Pete's future, and I'm worried that it won't be too irresponsible for us to give birth to him. It's just that now it seems like my worries are a bit unnecessary. But I've never regretted taking you out of the Elven Kingdom, and that's the right thing I've done in my life."
Pete soon arrives at Robert's doorstep. This large living area was specially sent by Chen Jian to live in the generals and their families, and Robert and others also lived in it, and everyone was divided into a piece of land, and then the dwarves built a manor for them according to their respective preferences.
But Pete doesn't live here now, he's scraping recruits in another area of the Solo Peninsula. It's not far from Fort Mig. So he was asked by Chen Jian to rush back to participate in the drinking party.
Remembering his little house in Hammondale. Pete sighed a little emotionally, in just over a year, his life and that of his family have been completely different, following the days by Jian Chen's side, he has learned a lot of things, and his status is also quietly changing, Robert and others are the same, this change is
Big. It's so big that he's still a little uncomfortable with six.
But he understands that the president has high hopes for him, so he has been working hard to learn everything he needs to learn and adapt to his own identity change, and he believes that with unremitting efforts. Someday I'm going to be a great player like Christine or Morryll. Leave a strong mark in the annals of the Union.
There was a carriage parked in front of Robert's house, and after putting on formal clothes, it was not convenient to ride a horse, so everyone chose the carriage to travel, and Pete made an appointment with Robert, Polly, and Orison to set off together. They are the first group of people to follow Jian Chen, and they have been born and died together, they are quite good friends, and now in addition to Robert and Polly still working together, Pete and Orison are sent out, and they rarely see each other, and today is just taking the opportunity to get together.
Robert, the former liar, is now different from the past, and his small life is delicious, and there are not only servants and housekeepers in the family, but he, like Pete, is still a single nobleman, and he doesn't seem to have the idea of getting married.
Thinking of Polly, who is quite a lover of home, Pete has a few more smiles on his face, whenever he thinks of the fact that Polly went to the president for an interview for the woman named Ellie, and cried in public, the half-elf always feels quite funny.
Robert's housekeeper, one. The middle-aged lizardman was directing his subordinates to set up a carriage at this time. Seeing Pete coming, he hurriedly welcomed Pete in.
As soon as he entered, Pete saw Robert walking up and down the living room with a sad face, fidgeting.
"You're here, just in time, help me take a look. There's nothing wrong with me, right? "See Pete. Robert is like seeing a savior, although the big liar deceives people without blinking an eye, and now he is the spy leader of the alliance. The power in his hand is terrifying, but after all, he is from a commoner, and now he is participating in the so-called aristocratic social activities in the mouth of the old butler Fowler for the second time, and he is inevitably a little nervous, for fear that something will go wrong.
In fact, Pete himself was a little nervous, and the old butler's emphasis on aristocratic etiquette was well known. This good-faced old man even has a headache for the president, not to mention Pete and others, if something goes wrong in the cocktail party, he feels that he has lost his dignity, and the consequences can be imagined
Know. The old butler's nagging skills, everyone has been taught, the president's status is respected, and he can also find an excuse to escape, but his own people have no other way to think except to be obedient.
What's more, the old housekeeper even visited the homes of several people once. After a good examination of their preparations, they found many faults of one kind or another, and were very unhappy with the fact that Pete and Robert did not have a female companion.
Just seeing Robert's never-before-seen appearance, Pete couldn't help but smile and bend over.
After a while, Polly and Orison arrived with their families, and everyone was dressed up. Of course, they inevitably made fun of each other, and then everyone agreed that it was more comfortable to drink in Old Kobe's tavern.
"I guess the lord thinks so too!" Polly said this, and Pete and the others nodded again and again.
For some purposes, everyone's current title for Chen Jian has been changed from the president to the lord in public, and this title is very easy for everyone to call, after all, when they were in Hammondal, they were all used to calling and very cordial.
Seeing that the time was about the same, everyone rushed out, Polly and Orison both brought their own carriages, and Pete and Robert, two bachelors, shared Robert's carriage, and the three carriages, escorted by a small group of cavalry, headed for Fort Mig.
At this time, in Fort Mig, the castle hall has been arranged magnificently, and the old butler is very handy in handling these, but he is still not at ease and checks around, lest something go wrong and lose the dignity of his master. The halfling chefs quickly prepared a variety of food, the orchestra musicians carefully checked the condition of the instruments, and dozens of carefully selected maids made the final preparations in the hall.
Chen Jian, on the other hand, was in his room, with the help of Temple and Acerena. Reluctantly, he wore the suit specially made for him by the old butler, and he would never be able to wear it smoothly alone, and issued a similar emotion as Pete and others: "Isn't it one." The reception is so grand, you want me to see it. It's better to go to old Kobe's tavern and have a drink! I don't know when I will have another chance like this! ”
Temple replied with a smile: "If old Kobe Bryant hears your words, I'm afraid he will laugh out loud in his dreams!" ”
