New year.

"Willy, hurry up!"

Vilia stood outside Willy's door, urging loudly.

At this time, Vilia was dressed in a crisp white winter dress, with a miniature version of the lady's top hat, a pair of delicate black buttoned leather shoes on her feet, and her golden hair was deliberately groomed by Mrs. Sawyn, and the ends of her hair were curled up, looking like the child of a wealthy merchant's family.

Diamond Town has been there many times, but this time is different. I went here today to attend the Baron's dinner, something that Vilia had dreamed of since she was a child.

"Miss Vilia, don't be in a hurry, you don't need to rush Lord Willy. ”

Next to Vilia was a man in a gown, a chauffeur sent by Baron Kells to welcome Willy and Velia into Diamond Town. Originally, Willy wanted to take Vilia on horseback, but he didn't expect Baron Kells to be so caring, so it saved Vilia from shivering on the horse.

"It's going to be right away. ”

Willy was in the room, sorting out the light armor on his body.

Baron Kells' dinner did not begin until after dark, and at noon, the first thing to attend was a meeting at the manor.

The meeting was attended by Baron Kells himself, who would greet every visitor from noon to afternoon. Some of these guests will participate in the evening dinner, and more often they will not be qualified for the dinner, and they will visit specially to make an impression on the Baron.

In addition, there are some barons in other territories who will send envoys to bring New Year's condolences during this time period, and these people are the people that the baron should pay attention to receiving.

As the second-in-command of Diamond Town's pro-soldier team, Willy naturally wants to participate in this kind of occasion. He had to take the place of Baron Kells and receive guests who could not be ignored but were not worthy of the Baron's personal reception.

Therefore, when Willy participated in the baron's meeting ceremony at noon, he needed to wear light armor to show his identity. For him, the noon meeting was more like a duty in the scope of work.

After making sure that the light armor was properly dressed, Willy placed the swift sword that Lakas had given him at his waist.

The gauntlets assembled by the Swift Sword this time are ring-shaped gauntlets and are carried with sword rings, which will be more ornamental in appearance and can better highlight Willy's identity.

"Let's go. ”

Willy walked out of the room and said to Vilia and the coachman.

When the coachman saw Willy, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

This was the first time he had seen the legendary No. 1 upstart in Diamond Town, and he thought that Willy, who was born in a farming family, should be rude, but he didn't expect Willy's appearance and speech and demeanor to look like the young nobleman he had served before.

"Miss Vilia, Lord Willy, please. ”

The coachman made a gesture of please, and led them to the beautiful and noble pale gold carriage outside the courtyard.

"Vilia, remember to pay attention to your appearance when eating, don't be as casual as at home, and don't lose Willy's face. Mrs. Swain walked from the house to the carriage and said to Veria, "Also, don't speak loudly in front of people, as it would appear rude to you, and listen to Willy, and don't run around......

Mrs. Swain apparently had no faith in her mischievous daughter.

"Don't worry, Mother, I'll take a good look at Vilia. ”

Willy wasn't worried about these problems, and he wanted Velia to have more fun than these dogmas.

Mrs. Sawin pursed her lips and tidied up the lace on Vilia's clothes.

Wally also ran out of the bear's den at this time, looking at Willy pitifully, obviously wanting to be taken out by Willy.

But Willy couldn't satisfy Wally's wishes this time, and the appearance of a white bear at Baron Kells' meeting or dinner would be very incongruous.

"Goodbye Wally, if there's something to eat, I'll be sure to bring you some!"

Velia's face was full of excitement and gave Wally an exaggerated flying kiss.

Under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Sawin and Wally, Willy and Velia got into their carriage and drove towards Diamondtown.

On the way out of Fandoutun, Wei Li and Wei Liya did not cover the curtain of the carriage, and they exchanged New Year's greetings with the oncoming Fandoutun residents.

Looking at the carriage as Willy walked away, the eyes of the people showed a look of pride. They all knew that Lord Tun was going to Baron Kells' dinner tonight. It was a nobleman's dinner, something that many people would never dare to dream of.

The carriage traveled at a high speed, but because of the driver's skillful driving skills and the luxurious and stable carriage, Willy and Velia did not feel any bumps.

As soon as he entered Diamond Town, Willy felt a New Year's atmosphere that was even stronger than that of Fandoutun.

The population is larger and denser, and the ways to celebrate are more diverse.

In an agrarian society, the New Year is the most important holiday of the year. On this day, people celebrate each other, they will enjoy some delicious food that they are usually reluctant to eat, and the conditions are better, and the family will change into new clothes.

For them, the New Year is more like a collective material treat.

"Miss Villea, Lord Willy, and Lord Baron's manor has arrived. ”

The coachman brought the carriage to a steady stop, and then lifted the curtain for the two men.

Supported by the carriage, Velia and Willy stepped out of the carriage.

"Is this the Baron's home?"

Vilia looked at the luxurious and luxurious manor in front of her, and was a little shocked for a while.

Even in winter, there are still large trees covered with green leaves, and a large green lawn, and birds flying overhead, and there is a crisp call. With the back of the attic in the distance, it all feels like something out of a fairy tale.

Vilia was shocked by the scene in front of her, coupled with the crowd of people in fancy clothes coming and going around her, the whole person was not as excited and lively as before, but seemed very restrained, she looked up at Willy, instinctively leaned to Willy's side, and held Willy's hand tightly.

"Relax a little. ”

Willy had long expected this reaction from Velia.

Vilia didn't speak, just looked at the people around her, looking timid.

In fact, the people around them are also watching them.

Many people had never seen Willy, but they were all curious when they saw Willy and Velia step out of a valuable carriage.

Especially on the hilt of the swift sword at Willy's waist, the black gem was particularly eye-catching.

This is a very scarce and valuable thing, and only the big merchants can get this kind of treasure.

This young man and this girl seem to be very unusual. It's just that the little girl seems very restrained, which makes people feel a little strange.
