Chapter 41: The Beginning of the Conspiracy
In the hall of the Takajo family's mansion, which was lit up like daylight, celebrities from all over the world chatted enthusiastically, each with a similar smile on their faces, as if they were sculptures printed from the same mold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not everyone has the power to be unafraid of the world like the Heroic Spirits, for most of the guests, the banquet is a part of their social life, even if they are tired and reluctant, they will keep a smile on their faces, present their best side to others, and according to their own status and circle, they will spontaneously gather together for small area communication.
At this time, the banquet hall is more in the center of the corner, belonging to the small circle of the noble school garden Xiufeng Academy, surrounded by more than a dozen students in the center, Charlotte is talking with a heroic blonde girl in a knight's dress, with a happy smile on her face.
"Sylvie, Sylvie, do you know, I just met a very interesting little brother! He's very good-looking, better looking than anyone I've ever seen, and he's a little mischievous, but it's really, really funny! ・・・・・・By the way, he said his name was Mo Wen, and he listened to that tone, as if I should know him, but I had never heard of him! ”
Chirping and chattering, Charlotte almost talked about the process of meeting Mo Wen just now, of course, because she didn't talk about anything substantive with Mo Wen before, and her words were almost no rules at all, just like a child showing off to her friends after returning to school after the holidays.
On the other side of her, the girl named Sylvie saw this, but there was a hint of pampering in her eyes, as one of Charlotte's few friends, she naturally knew what her friend was like, and while intimately combing the other party's long hair that was a little messy because of the sprint, she coped with it.
It's just that when she heard the last sentence, her brows frowned slightly, and the movements in her hands also stood up.
"Charlotte, what's that kid's name?"
Because Sylvie is usually serious, Charlotte is sometimes really upset about this friend, and at this time, looking at the other party's serious expression, although she was a little puzzled, she still replied honestly: "Mo Wen, what, is he really famous?" ”
"Please, this is not a matter of whether the other party is famous or not, you accepted the invitation to the banquet, but you didn't even remember the name of the host? This banquet is held by the Shenza chaebol, and this Mo Wen is the nominal inviter of the banquet! Charlotte, as the first princess of the Principality of Hayserlink, you must at least remember the name on the invitation, otherwise Alf will go crazy! ”
Sylvie rubbed her eyebrows helplessly, looking at her natural friend opposite, she really didn't know what to say.
In the blink of an eye, Charlotte suddenly turned her head and asked a young man in a tuxedo standing beside her, "Teppei, do you know who is the organizer of this banquet?" ”
Arima Zheping, who was originally chatting with other classmates, was stunned, scratched his head, and thought for a long time, then hesitated and replied in a low voice: "It's the Shenza chaebol, probably Mrs. Gao Cheng?" ”
"Look at you! Teppei doesn't know either, so it's okay if I don't remember it! ”
Charlotte was happy when she heard this, patted her hands lightly, and made a playful face at Sylvie.
"-You!"
And Sylvie opposite her wanted to cry, with such a fiancé and such a best friend, what else could she say? Not long after Tetsuhei Arima was succeeded by the Arima Group, it can be said that he has just joined this circle, and it would be good to remember Mrs. Takashiro, the former leader of the Kamiza chaebol, while Charlotte was too well protected by her father and butler Alf, so she was not familiar with the world, and among the three, it was herself, the knight who was usually incompatible with the banquet, who knew the most, and I have to say that this was also strange!
Sighing softly, Sylvie didn't say much about it, after all, she hadn't known the two for a day or two, and she had long had no expectations for changing the two, so since Charlotte said that she and Mo Wen got along very well, it meant that the other party was not a formal person, otherwise, it would not be such a big banquet, the organizer didn't show up from beginning to end, from a certain point of view, the owner of this god chaebol is very similar to his girlfriend, and they all go their own way!
It's just that although he didn't care in his heart, on the surface, Sylvie still opened his mouth to persuade: "Charlotte, Zheping, forget it this time, but I still hope that you can remember the name Mo Wen, the other party, as the owner of the Divine Seat Chaebol, is the top in terms of strength and power, and it is better to be polite when getting along!" ”
"I see!"
Arima Tetsuhei nodded, although as the heir of the Arima Group, his social foundation is very weak, but he still has a sense of responsibility.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Charlotte's answer was much more perfunctory, and judging from the eyes that were rolling back and forth, it was obvious that the other party didn't listen much.
"Charlotte, you-"
Sylvie was a little anxious when she saw this, after all, she knew very well the horror of the Shenza chaebol consortium, which was an existence that the Principality of Hessellink behind Charlotte could not afford to offend, and she didn't want her friend to accidentally mess with someone who shouldn't be messed with.
Just before she could say anything, a crisp voice came from behind.
"Is Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Hessellinck here?"
I don't know when, the small circle that belonged to Xiufeng Academy around had already separated, and Lin Xian'er walked over with a smile on her face and a slender waist. The moving demeanor and the good beauty made the students who saw the Xiufeng on both sides stunned.
"Are you—?"
Sylvie asked in surprise, for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at Lin Xian'er who was smoky, and intuitively thought that the other party was not a good person.
"Oh, you're the maid next to Little Brother Mo Wen!"
And Charlotte, who was beside Sylvie, clapped her hands and suddenly said that although she is relatively naïve, her memory is not bad, and she still remembers Lin Xian'er who she just met.
"It's an honor for you to remember me. Your Royal Highness Charlotte, my young master is invited, I hope you will come with me! ”
Seeing this, Lin Xian'er smiled slightly, respectfully saluted Charlotte, and then said softly, and from beginning to end, she ignored Sylvie who was standing aside.
"This-?"
Charlotte hesitated, but her gaze swept to Sylvie who was standing aside.
was already a little dissatisfied with Lin Xian'er's actions, and Sylvie immediately stepped forward and faintly blocked Charlotte behind her.
"Is there anything you can't tell in person? Calling a girl out alone, I'm afraid it's unreasonable, isn't this the etiquette of your god's chaebol?! ”
Because of her inexplicable prejudice against Lin Xian'er, although Sylvi didn't want to offend the Shenzae chaebol, she didn't want her friend to go alone with the maid in front of her. He has also attended many high-society banquets, although Sylvie himself has not experienced them, but he has heard of some of them, such as some lascivious hosts often use some unscrupulous methods on some beautiful female guests.
However, in the face of Sylvie's questioning, Lin Xian'er did not change her face, she just glanced at the other party lightly, and replied calmly: "That's the case, just now the young master and His Royal Highness Charlotte got along well, so I specially prepared a small gift and wanted to give it to her personally, there should be no problem!" ”
"Gifts?!"
Charlotte's eyes lit up when she heard this word, she wasn't greedy for anything or anything, the Duchy of Sellink was not short of money, she was just interested in the fact that her friends gave her gifts.
Seeing her like this, Sylvie knew that she couldn't stop her best friend, but for the sake of safety, she still asked: "Since it's a gift, then I think your young master shouldn't mind us going with Charlotte, after all, we are also Charlotte's friends!" ”
A trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes, but Sylvie was determined to pay attention at this time, if Lin Xian'er didn't agree, then she wouldn't let Charlotte go out alone.
It's just that unexpectedly, in the face of this somewhat rude request, Lin Xian'er just squinted her eyes and thought about it, and readily agreed.
"Okay, then let's invite a few of them to come with me!"
