Chapter 183: The Old Immortal
The lobby is large and is clearly dedicated to important gatherings.
In the center of the lobby, a long table is placed with a mouthpiece, which is covered with red cloth, on which are all kinds of delicate snacks, snacks and tea.
Of course, this is not specially set out for people to eat around, but just for people to chat about being hungry or a little thirsty, you can drink some tea and eat some snacks, and it is really time to eat in the evening.
The number of nobles in the lobby was a little large, but the owner of the house, Torah, had not yet appeared, and everyone spread out to mingle and chat, and on the surface everyone seemed to be in harmony and laughter.
There is a magic crystal in the lobby to control the temperature, and Mel also takes off his shawl and throws it to the servants who serve in the lobby.
Mayo took his wife and Mel around to greet people, and Mayo was able to become one of the candidates for the ceremonial officer, all of which highlighted his ability, and some nobles would not greet him with a black face and a smile even if they did not support him.
After a few greetings, Mel felt his face stiffen with a smile... Although she was helpless, she couldn't resist, and she still held on to her parents.
After a while, Mayo met some old-fashioned nobles and took his wife to say hello.
Seeing that it was several marquis of the kingdom, Mrs. Mayo was afraid that she would talk about some kingdom affairs, so she asked Mel to chat in the lobby alone.
Adults talk, children don't interfere in any world.
Mel was relieved to see that he didn't have to deal with the old-school nobles himself.
It stands to reason that she should have looked for a few aristocratic ladies of her age in the lobby to chat with.
Mel glanced around and found that there were indeed a few noble ladies in the circle, but she suddenly felt a little tired and didn't particularly want to socialize.
Thinking that she was going to see her future husband later, and she would no longer be able to splash freely in the future, she couldn't help but sigh.
She asked the servant on the side of the road for a drink, and went to the lobby wall to stand, and after standing for a while and finding that no one was paying attention to her, she leaned against the wall, and her feet hurt when she stood all the time.
Mel looked at the glamour of the people in the lobby, and suddenly felt that she was out of place with everyone, she thought of what she had promised Betina, and she didn't know if Her Majesty would come today, if she did, maybe she could find an opportunity to come up and greet her.
By the way, tell Her Majesty what Bettina wants to convey.
I just don't know if she'll have a chance to go back to the Academy of Magic... If this matter has any results, it is better to write to Betina.
Mel took a sip of red wine, and I have to say that this time the hospitality to Tora has paid a lot of money, and this red wine is also of the highest level in the capital of the kingdom.
"Little host... Anyway, will Her Majesty the Queen also appear later?"
Mel's ears were pointed when she heard this, and her eyes squinted, and it turned out that there were two people standing by the wall next to her, just like her, but there was something strange.
These two people, one is a little girl, they are not very old, they don't even look like they are 15 years old, and they are only about the same height as Mel's waist.
But the little girl was wearing a black dress, the hem of the skirt hung with many precious stones shining, her hands were wearing black fluffy gloves, she was holding a small fan in one hand, and her hair was coiled.
However, there was a woman standing next to the little girl, and the clothes she was wearing were not bad, but obviously not a noble dress, but like a special servant of the little girl, with a nervous face, her body was straight and stiff, and she obviously had not coped with such an occasion.
Sleta pinched the fan in her hand: "Erlan, are you nervous?"
"Little master..."Er Lan smiled bitterly, "If it was an ordinary aristocratic tea party, maybe Er Lan wouldn't be nervous... But later, Her Majesty the Queen will appear at this noble tea... It's a little hard for Erlan not to be nervous. ”
Sreta snorted secretly: "Torah, this old immortal, he sent me an invitation, I also said that he is senile and demented and wants to find bad luck, it turns out that he sent invitations to all the nobles, if it weren't for the letter from Her Majesty that she would also participate and let me accompany me, I wouldn't have bothered to step into this ghost place." ”
Er Lan still understands the relationship between the Torah and Xu Mu's family, after all, the position of the captain of the royal knight was originally set in the Torah plan, but Xu Mu suddenly appeared and snatched it, he was naturally unwilling to give up, during which the palace has been talking to Xu Mu constantly, and these things have also reached Sreta's ears.
With a wry smile, although Er Lan is also hostile to Torah, after all, Xu Mu is her master, but Sleta dares to scold Torah for being immortal, she doesn't dare...
"Don't be nervous," Sreta sighed at the thought of something, "I wouldn't have brought an entourage on this occasion, but I'm special... My brother and sister Ailu are not there at home, I am still young, and it is a little inappropriate for me to enter this occasion alone, so I brought you with me, and by the way, I let you have a long experience, so that you will also be responsible for the management of the family in the future, and then you will need to replace these not particularly important entertainment. ”
Er Lan naturally heard the meaning of Sresta's entrustment, and nodded a little excitedly: "I know, little master." ”
Mel was secretly shocked when she heard this, this little girl had come to the noble tea party alone, and she had just said Sister Ailu? What is her relationship with Ailu?
However, Mel could hear that the little girl in front of her obviously belonged to Her Majesty's faction like her, otherwise if this little girl belonged to the Torah camp, she would never be able to say such words.
It's funny to hear an immature little girl viciously say that Torah is an old immortal~
"Erlan, go get me some cookies. ”
Er Lan hurriedly walked towards the countertop in the center, ready to find some snacks for his little master.
"Hey, have you heard enough of it?"
Mel was about to turn his gaze, but he didn't expect Sreta to stare at him directly, his gaze was full of oppression, but the vicious tone made people feel bored.
"You little girl, knowing that I am eavesdropping, and I am talking so loudly, are you not afraid that I will sue the Duke of Torah and speak ill of you?"
Sleta snorted disdainfully, she didn't have to deliberately show her discord with Torah, but anyone who knew a little about the situation in Heaney's court also knew that Tora had been trying to get Xu Mu out of the position of knight captain, Sleta was Xu Mu's sister, and she would only have a ghost if she could be in harmony with Torah.
"Then you should go and sue, and by the way, help me entrust him again, so that he can drink carefully and not choke to death. ”
Mel couldn't help but choke out laughing, such an outspoken little girl was so to her taste.
Seeing the aristocratic lady in front of her laughing, Sleta also frowned, isn't this woman from the Torah faction?
Mel approached Sreta and asked in a whisper, "Little girl, what's your name? ”
"Who are you, why am I telling you?" said Sleta, looking wary, and took two steps to the side in disgust.
