Chapter 96: The King Is a Vampire (6)
Laures's bar mitzvah soon arrived, and during this time, Seven's life at Chadsworth Manor was very comfortable.
However, she knew that the colorful icing was not necessarily a sweet-tasting candy, but also a deadly poison, and all this was just the calm before the storm.
Ethel helped Makichi braid her hair and was about to help her put on her jewelry.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and in came the Countess and Flowers, both smiling.
"Sipel, I asked Keane's tailor to make a dress, can you try it to see if it fits?"
Evelyn, who followed behind, carried a light blue silk embroidered crenolin dress with colorful sequins and flowers, which was gorgeous but fairy.
Even Ju Qi was used to seeing all kinds of beautiful dresses in China and the West, and when she saw this dress, she was still amazed.
IJssel also exclaimed: "This dress is really beautiful." ”
Strawis looked at Ying Qi with a smile: "This is something that Mr. Wild from Keane has been asking for days to make." ”
Seven put on this dress under the service of Ethel, with her newly braided hairstyle, standing in front of the dressing mirror, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, Sipel is indeed the most beautiful in the empire, and only when she wears this skirt will she not be suppressed by the light of the skirt itself.
There was a hint of jealousy in Clois's eyes, but she still smiled and said, "Sipel, you are so beautiful in this dress." ”
There was a strong look of satisfaction between the countess eyebrows, and she personally stepped forward to arrange the hem of her skirt for Ying Qi.
The corners of Mu Qi's lips raised slightly, revealing a hint of mockery, this is Lauris's coming-of-age ceremony, she can actually tolerate herself wearing this dress that can completely suppress all the women present, it seems that Clovis really has made a big move.
On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, Ethel came to her room early to serve her makeup.
The real highlight was the ball that night, and it was the dress that the countess had given her that she wore in her dress.
As soon as she appeared, the laughter in the hall suddenly stopped, and all the nobles present were from Keane's social circle, and with Seepel's previous limelight, there was no one who did not know her.
Even the prom where she was caught cheating before, there were many people present today.
However, Siperel was still as glamorous as ever, and although the men resumed talking and laughing again, their eyes were all looking towards Ying Qi intentionally or unintentionally.
The ladies had different looks, some disdainful, some indifferent, and more sarcastic.
Siper's current reputation, no one wants to deal with her, so in the lively hall, only Ying Qiyi sat on the sofa, hanging alone.
At this moment, a man and a woman slowly walked in outside the door.
The man was wearing a black tuxedo, with handsome facial features, the woman was wearing a lilac crenolin skirt, and the woman was holding the man's arm.
As soon as they appeared, the originally lively hall fell silent again, and everyone looked at Maki Qi in unison.
It's a good show.
Richardson glanced at Ju Qi from a distance, looked away expressionlessly, and then looked at Grace with low eyes and gentleness: "I'll go say hello to them first, you can go chat with them." ”
Grace smiled and nodded, her gaze wandering the hall before finally falling on the radiant woman sitting in the corner.
"Can I sit here?" A soft female voice interrupted Maki Qi's thoughts.
Ying Qi bowed slightly, and then continued to look down at the book.
"You're Miss Siperl, aren't you?" Grace smiled warmly at the corner of her lips, "I've heard of you for a long time, and I finally met you today." ”
"We don't know each other that well, maybe you should call me Miss Interlaken."
Clovis was her father's earldom, and Count Clovis had the surname Intreken, hence her full name Sypel Intreken.
"I just wanted to get to know you." Grace looked a little sad, like a frightened fawn, and her big eyes flickered with pity.
Many people are looking at this side with the mentality of watching a good show, although it is a corner, it seems to be the focus of the audience.
When Ying Qi heard her words, the corners of his lips couldn't help but hook up a chuckle: "With all due respect, Miss Baker, you are now the fiancée of my ex-husband, and it is impossible for me and you to have a pleasant chat." ”
Seeing Grace's little face, her eyes seemed to be overflowing with mist.
Seven paused and said nonchalantly: "Maybe you want to emulate what I used to be, and delusionally hope to be able to replace him in Keane's social circle, but I want to tell you that there is only one Siper. At this point, her eyes lifted slightly, fell on Grace, looked at her dress, and chuckled: "Just like this skirt on yours, I already wore a similar style at the flower show last spring." ”
Grace's eyes were cold for a while, but she still maintained a pitiful look on her face.
"No lady will make herself look pitiful, ladies are proud." When Ying Qi finished saying this, his eyes looked at Grace's face steadily, and then he said meaningfully in Chinese, "Dong Shi will only become a laughing stock." ”
Originally, when Grace heard her previous words, her fingers were already tightly gripping the fan, holding back the anger in her heart.
When she heard the last words of the Seven in Chinese, the expression on her face was like a broken mask, and she looked at the Seven in disbelief.
Ying Qi chuckled, lowered his head and continued to read.
The Marquis of Richardson, who had been paying attention to the movement here, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and after saying sorry to the people beside him, he strode towards them.
Grace was still in shock and did not come to her senses, and the Marquis of Richardson pulled her up and protected her behind her.
He looked at Ying Qi with sharp eyes: "Miss Interlaken, we are divorced, so I don't want you to bully my fiancée." ”
The laughter around them suddenly became much quieter, and everyone looked at this place one after another, as if they were watching a good show.
Ying Qi lowered his head and sneered, then slammed the book together and stood up: "Marquis Richardson, a true gentleman will not indiscriminately reprimand a lady. ”
In front of so many people, Maki Qi's words were very heavy, because it was indeed a very humiliating thing for the nobles of Norton to be said to be not gentlemen or ladies.
The Marquis of Richardson sneered, "You mean you're a lady?" ”
"Yes." Maki Qi smiled slightly.
Marquis Richardson knew that if he continued to entangle with her, he would only become the capital of the entire Keane social circle, and although he was now, he was not prepared to give others more talking points.
He dragged Grace to the other side of the hall.
After a while, a burst of melodious music resounded in the hall.
After a while, one by one the gentlemen came forward to invite the ladies to dance, and none of them invited her, although she was like a beast of prey.
At this moment, a magnetic male voice came from behind him.
"Pretty young lady, may I ask you to do a dance?"
Ju Qiyi looked back, but he met a pair of green eyes full of smiles.
