Solar Calendar September 1728 in the city of Belise in the territory of the Kingdom of Porternas

Kargs checked his jacket pocket, his hands were anointed today, yes, the invitation. Lifting the curtain of the carriage, the window is outside the sunset Poz Street, the merchants on both sides are ready to close, the pedestrians have become fewer, everyone is finishing the day's work, are rushing home. At the current speed of the carriage, he should have arrived on time, and he relaxed with peace of mind.

Kargs considers himself a nobleman, although he does not have a prominent surname, but relying on the tavern run by the family for several generations, many upper-class people are his frequent customers, and naturally he has mixed into their social circle, he is already a little famous in Belice City, and he is often invited to various weddings and banquets, so he should be half a nobleman, he thinks so.

As a nobleman, the clothes should naturally be neatly dressed, and Kargs wore a dress that he had spent a lot of money on, every fold was carefully ironed in advance, and with his own crutches, he even felt that he could enter the palace to see His Majesty the King decently.

Secondly, the nobles also need to have their own attendants, and their young attendant is a very clever young man, he is the child of his aunt in the country of Kargs, and once when he came to the city for the New Year, Kargs looked at the clever and stayed, taking care of food and shelter, and the salary was not a lot, and he was driving a carriage for himself.

The carriage was a new model that he had spent a lot of money on, and it was the style that all the nobles were now using, with luxurious seats and a beautiful magic lamp, and the storage box under the cushion could also put some extra items, and the young nobles and ladies would put some clothes and jewelry, and the old man and young master would put some money in the secret compartment here in case of urgent need, and the clever Kargs did not put these things, he did not put anything, because he found that the box was just the size of a beautiful girl. Carriages were expensive, but they were a necessary expense for aristocrats, and the Kargs enjoyed it.

Kargs checked his invitation again, Governor Ross is a big man, this is a routine banquet, as the chief governor of Belice City, the governor specially invited all the celebrities of the city in his mansion, and it is a great honor to be invited this time.

The carriage slowly stopped in a sound of horses, it should have arrived, Kargs picked up the crutches next to his chair, at this time the door was pulled open from the outside, he bent down and stepped out of the carriage, the door was pulled by a man in a dress, tall and looked very strong, if it was three Kargs may not be his opponent, but the man looked not scary at this time, he looked very polite with a smile. This must be a servant of the Russell governor's estate, Kargs guessed. It was the first time he had been invited to the Governor's mansion, and many things had been seen for the first time. Not only people, but he was also a little stunned when he looked at the entrance. It is not a novelty that the manor houses of the nobles were luxurious, but a huge statue of the Governor of Rus's here caught his eye, and the statue of King Philus Kirhill stood in the middle of the garden at the entrance to the mansion, holding a map in his right hand and pointing ahead with his left as if the whole manor had been designed according to his ideas.

"Please show me your invitation, sir. Looking at the stunned Kargs, the tall servant politely reminded him.

"Oh, oh. Kargs quickly took the invitation out of his jacket pocket.

The tall servant took the invitation and looked at it, and nodded, "Mr. Kargs, the banquet is about to begin, please follow the maid into the banquet hall, and we will arrange your attendant and carriage." ”

The man made a gesture of please, and Kargs followed the gesture to see a maid standing there, "Mr. Kargs, please come with me." The maid turned sideways and walked forward, and Kargs hurriedly followed. This maid looks very young, only about twenty years old, her face is very clean, she is not like a noble lady with grease and powder, at this age such a appearance is outstanding, Kargs blushed a little, if she was a noble lady, she might pursue her, but since she was just a maid, maybe she could...

Following the maid all the way, Kargs walked into the banquet hall, which is a huge long room, needless to say with exquisite decoration, Kargs, who has participated in many banquets, has also seen some of the world, but many pillars between the second and first floors of the banquet hall let Kargs take a look, these pillars are surrounded by many plates, they should rely on magic to move up and down, the attendants rely on this to deliver food instead of frequently going up and down the stairs, this design is the first time to see.

But it's just worth a second look, and then Kargs focused on the people who participated in the banquet, the banquet had not officially started so the Governor of Rus' had not yet appeared, but his daughter and son-in-law were already entertaining guests, the son-in-law was called Bailey, and it was said that he was also a nobleman, but the family had declined, and after marrying Kardashian, the daughter of the Governor of Rus, he suddenly became prosperous. Kargs sighed in his heart, the nobles only have one surname left, and they have a chance to turn over if they are down, and if they don't have money, they really have nothing. Kargs frequents also wanted to get acquainted with some aristocratic ladies, and if he could marry a certain aristocratic ladies... But because of the surname, these aristocratic lords were reluctant to consider him as a son-in-law, even if he had a lot of money.

Kargs grabbed a glass of wine and walked over to Bailey and Kardashian, and as a first-time visitor, he had to be courteous.

"Kargs?" Bailey smiled as he saw Kargs walking over with a wine glass, "Welcome." ”

Kargs hurriedly walked over, bent down and touched his glass, "It is a great honor for the Governor to invite me to the banquet. ”

"Ah," Bailey smiled, "that's because of your contribution to Belice City, and my father is very happy with it." ”

"It's really touching to be appreciated by the Governor-General!" Kargs accented the last two words, and then stretched his cup forward.

"Oh, Sekate" Bailey saw a new guest arriving in the distance, and hurriedly greeted him, "It's been a long time, friend, where have you been going to play lately?"

Bailey didn't clink glasses with him, didn't say a word, he walked directly past Karggs, and Kargus also stepped aside, and his wife Kardashian walked with Bailey, and the woman swept over Kargs with her afterglow and walked over.

Although he felt an insult in his heart, Kargs was not angry, this aristocratic eldest lady has always been pampered, her eyes are higher than her hands, he has seen a lot, in order to hide his embarrassment, he then exchanged a few words with several guests, who are frequent customers of his tavern.

After greeting the acquaintances one by one, Kargs was alone again, and the old men and young masters all brought their female companions, and the women who attended the banquet this time were all their wives, and there were no young ladies, so Kargs had no goal, and he was bored and leaned on the table to observe the attendants back and forth, hoping to find a maid who could pass the time.

But after looking at it for a while, Kargs gave up, and when he looked closely, he found that there were people standing around the banquet hall to inspect the guards, which should be the special protection that only the governor can enjoy, these people can't do those things in this way. He approached the table, picked up a piece of snack, and ate it, it was going to be a boring feast, he thought to himself.

The Governor of Rus' appeared shortly after, and after making some clichéd opening remarks, many nobles came forward to toast him, and Kargs went up to pay his respects as usual, but surrounded by many nobles, the Governor of Rus's did not notice Kargos, and was pushed out of the crowd several times, and Kargs could only retreat for the time being, intending to go when there were fewer people.

But he didn't wait for that, and the ball began, and the attendants removed the table with the food, leaving the dance floor in between, and at the end of the dance the table should be filled with new food and snacks. Kargs was looking forward to those more now because he didn't bring a female companion. The aristocrats all came with their wives, and the wife of the Governor of Ross also appeared at this time, and Bailey and Kardashian were even more excited, and he was so embarrassed that he could only sit on the side. It's not that he doesn't want to bring it, but he really can't find it, although he has some money, it's too difficult to find a decent woman who is willing to be his companion, the noble lady doesn't look down on him, and those commoners can't bring it to the stage, he is also very distressed, in the past, he could invite the lonely noble lady to dance a few dances, this time there is no way. And the worst part was not that, he didn't have time to toast the Governor just now, and Kargs was worried that the Governor would be angry with him.

"Da, da, da. The sound of a few crisp heels hitting the ground reached his ears, and he could still hear such a sound when the sound of dance music was so loud, and Kargs turned his head curiously, and he saw a woman, who was standing at the entrance, she was wearing a black velvet dress, looking left and right for something.

Widow... Kargs thought of this word, after all, it was a black dress, which must be the color that widows would choose, but this woman was very beautiful, her hair was not long, why didn't she wear a veil, and she was so flat in such a thin breast, it was really boring, Kargs shook his head in disappointment. A widow must not be invited to dance, but it is better to talk to her about her deceased husband and express her grief than to sit here stupidly.

Kargs sorted out his expression, trying to make it more serious, and then walked towards the woman with a glass in each hand.

The woman seemed to have found her target after looking around for a while, and she walked straight ahead, and Kargs came up with two wine glasses.
