Selena's forehead is tied with a thin yellow silk, and a red gem hangs in the center, setting off her little face to be fairer and more delicate, a pair of blue eyes are brighter than the gems on her belt, the eldest lady Selena's personality is like his father, doing things in a hurry, very outgoing, not good at disguise, but her appearance is very similar to her mother, but her skin is much richer and rounder, and the whole person is also full of wealth.

Looking at Selena's pigtails, Alan couldn't help but turn his head and look around, only to find that the ladies who came to the banquet all left one or two braids on their hair accessories, Alan used to only know that this was the habit of women on the prairie to comb their hair, but now it seems that this habit should originate from the tradition of the Gosa country.
"Meet your lords and happy new year!"
"Meet Madame, Happy New Year, Madame!"
When she received the guests just now, Madame Ogu did not appear, so she immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared, and many people even saw the first lady of the ancient city of Ogu for the first time, and the guests sitting in a distant position also took the initiative to lean over and salute her, and the hall became very chaotic for a while.
"Welcome to all friends and Happy New Year. ”
Madame Ogu replied, and she gently raised her hand to stop everyone's salute, and a warm smile bloomed on her pale face.
"Thank you all for your kindness and welcome to Augu Castle!"
Under the influence of Madame's smile, Lord Oku was also like a spring breeze, waving his hand to the people around him, not everyone had the opportunity to come up to the stage to meet him, so this time the greeting was all taken care of.
"You're Alan Kanter?"
Taking advantage of the time for her husband and guests to greet each other, Mrs. Ogu's deep gaze swept over all the guests around her, and finally landed on Alan, who let go of her husband's arm and walked to Eren with a gentle footstep and asked.
"It's really a pleasure for me to meet Madame. ”
Alan said that he did not understand why Madame Ogu was the only one who took the initiative to speak to himself in front of so many people, but he was full of affection for the noble lady he met for the first time in front of him.
"Do you know why I recognize you at a glance?"
"Because of what I'm wearing?"
Alan looked at his magician's robes, and among the people present, only Herbert, Cecil, and himself were wearing magician's robes, and if Lady Ogu had heard of herself, then it would have been easy to identify.
"I've heard your name many times before coming here. My husband praised you for being a genius, and even His Excellency Herbert called you unprecedented, but when I got to know you, I realized that you were really a little different. ”
Lady Ogu said with a smile.
"Madame has won the award, and I still have a lot to learn from the two adults. ”
"That's not what I'm talking about. ”
"Oh?"
"They told me that most of the refugee relief money in Iron Pine Town was paid by you Allen, and such a kind act made our lords very ashamed. ”
"As a mercenary, it is my duty to help my compatriots, and I only do my best, so I don't dare to take credit. And unlike other people, I don't have so many burdens on my body, and no amount of money is of any use to me, so I might as well do some good deeds. ”
"Alan, aren't your relatives around?"
"My father was in the south, his wife died, and I had three younger siblings around me, all of whom were young. ”
Alan said with a gloomy expression.
"I'm sorry, Alan, for reminding you of something sad. ”
"It's all right, ma'am. ”
"Alan, are you going to live in the ancient city of Aogu for a long time?"
"Madam, I plan to go back to my hometown after a while, I will come to visit Aogucheng often when I have time, and my three younger siblings will stay here to live. ”
"Is this the brother you are talking about?"
Listening to Alan's words, Mrs. Agu's gaze finally shifted from Alan's face to Steven's face beside him, and in the process of the conversation between the two people, although Steven did not say a word, he kept smiling and listening.
"Madame, his name is Steven Levins, and he is my brother-in-law. ”
"Oh, Steven, welcome to Castle August. ”
Madame Ogu said in a kind tone.
"Levins has been a great honor to meet Madame. ”
Steven followed the courtesy of the nobleman, touched his chest with his right arm, clasped his fingers at the collarbone, leaned forward, and retreated half a step with his left foot, and gracefully bowed to Madame August.
"Selena often mentions you in front of me, and she praises you for being very diligent and eager to learn, making quick progress, and today it seems that you are indeed a talent. ”
Steven's salute seemed to make Lady Agu feel very happy.
"Yes, ma'am! The eldest lady has taught me many things. ”
Steven became more deferential.
"The banquet will start soon, everyone is welcome, sit down as soon as possible. ”
Hollanster and the others around him exchanged a few more pleasantries, then glanced in the direction of Madame and Allen, and then smiled and waved their hands, signaling everyone to return to their seats.
"Allen, Steven, enjoy the night to the fullest. ”
Hollanster took Selena's hand and walked over to Lady Agu, and smiled at the two of them.
"Thank you, sir. ”
Alan smiled and gestured.
"Happy New Year, Miss Ogu. What you are wearing today is so beautiful, even more beautiful than a blooming lily. ”
Steven beckoned to Miss Selena and complimented him heartily.
"It's awkward to wear this, it's not comfortable at all. But today you're weird, dressed like the old guys. ”
Selena's eyes first rolled over Allen's body, then at Steven, and finally tugged at her skirt with her hand, pouting and saying.
"Selena, don't talk nonsense to guests. ”
Lady Ogu turned her face and reprimanded.
"Got it. ”
The eldest lady took advantage of her mother's inattention and made a grimace at Steven.
Because the brief chaos caused by the arrival of the three members of the Hollanster family subsided, everyone returned to the table and sat down, Holancest sat at one end of the long table, and the first person to his right sat was his wife, then the eldest lady Selena, followed by Herbert, Allen, Steven, and the leaders of several major mercenary groups, including Higgs, the leader of the Braveheart Mercenary Group, and Cecil, the deputy head of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group. On the other side sat several members of the Ogu family, Reinhardt, the official of Yuss in the ancient city of Oku, Gerald the business agent of the Hepburn family in the ancient city of Ogu, and the mayors of the towns under the ancient city of Ogu.
"Please take your seat as soon as possible. ”
Seeing that the Hollanster family was in place, Marcus, who was standing on the stage, resumed his presiding duties, and after making sure that all the guests had found their seats and focused their attention on him, he continued:
"The New Year's dinner is about to begin, but before we begin, we must first invite today's host, Lord Hollanster Ogu, head of the Ogu family, lord of the ancient city of Oku, and president of the mercenary guild, to give a New Year's message. ”
With that, Marcus trotted to the side of the steps and made a gesture of please.
