Chapter 197: The Prom
In the following dinner time, Sleta finally got much better, and there were no moths, after all, there was Erlan by her side, and she was used to what she needed, and Erlan remembered it very clearly.
Aside from the fact that Betty Rock was a little talkative as she sat next to her, Sleta thought it was good, and it would have been better if Torah hadn't sat across from him.
After the dinner, there is actually a ball, but this ball is not required in the aristocratic etiquette, but if the organizer is happy, it is natural to hold a ball after the dinner.
Torah cares about face, and asks her servants to prepare the premise of the ball before the tea party begins.
But now he's in a bad mood, and if he could, he'd rather not have this ball... But at the tea party before, he had already said that there was a dance for everyone to participate in tonight, and if he regretted it now, it would be too embarrassing.
Seeing that there was a dance party after the dinner, Sleta naturally wanted to go home.
It's not that she's not interested in the nobles' balls, it's just that there are very few aristocratic children of the same age she knows in the capital, and it should be said that there are no at all. Besides, what kind of prom does a little girl under 15 years old attend?
Xenia did not stop Sleta either, and when she saw that she wanted to go back, she arranged for her servants to take her and Erlan out.
Torah saw from afar that Sreta was not going to join in the excitement of the ball, and suddenly she was in a much better mood... Although the situation in their aristocratic camp has begun to unclear now, there is no need to see Sleta, an unlucky child, and the panic has dissipated a lot.
In the end, Sleta also 'robbed' the two servants of the Torah family, because the nobles of the tea party in front of them gave some things, which made it a little troublesome for the two of them to bring them back, so she simply forced the servants to send them out and let the servants help carry the gifts home together.
The servants did not disobey the orders of the nobles, so they had no choice but to respond.
After Sleta and Erlan left, the ball officially began.
The ball was held on the second floor, and compared to the dim lighting deliberately created by the dinner, the layout of the ball was bright, and in the center of the stage was a specially hired band.
The music sounded, and the nobles began to invite the nobles of the opposite sex to dance together.
As for Xenia, she was bored watching from the sidelines, and she was not interested in this kind of dance party that was prone to collision with hormones.
Usually noble ladies rarely have the opportunity to meet the sons of other nobles, and it is only under some special circumstances that the two parties will meet and become friends.
The ball gave the young nobles a platform to formally try to get to know each other, as long as the young people of the two parties met each other a little, the aristocratic sons could take the initiative to invite the noble ladies who matched their eyes to dance together.
As long as the aristocratic lady feels that the aristocratic son who invites her to dance is pleasing to the eye, she will accept the invitation to dance, and then the two can swing on the dance floor, close to the body and communicate softly, tell the situation on both sides or interesting things that happened, attract each other's attention, and win each other's favor.
This is for the young nobles, as for the adult nobles, they don't have so much care, they just invite each other to dance for some direct purpose, as for the people on the other side to give this opportunity or not, they don't care at all.
For example, now Xenia has turned down several invitations from old-school nobles to dance with her, not that these old-school nobles are shameless and covetous of Xenia's beauty, but that this invitation is considered to be out of respect for the queen.
On the contrary, no young nobleman dared to go up and invite Xenia to dance, after all, dancing also depends on identity, and those who can invite the queen to dance are dukes and marquises, but those who can be dukes and marquis don't know how much older they are.
On the dance floor, Philo and Mel were holding hands, the two of them swaying gently, and Philo seemed to enjoy this kind of thing, after all, he rarely had the opportunity to be so close to a woman, and his face was red and nervous.
Mel smiled lightly and didn't have too many expressions, she participated in a lot of dance parties, and she was an old fritter, so naturally she didn't look like Philo.
It's just that her mind has been thinking about Betina.
After all, before she returned to the capital, Bettina had entrusted her with something.
She had promised Bettina before that as long as she saw Her Majesty, she would tell Bettina what she cared about, and now that Xenia was in front of her, Mel naturally had to think of a good wording to find a reason to be alone with Xenia.
Otherwise, if others know that Bettina and Xenia have news to communicate, I am afraid that it will cause some bad effects.
After all, the Betty family does not participate in court affairs, and now on the surface, Xenia and Betty Yan are friends because of Xu Mu's affairs, but this is the surface after all, if the two parties exchange interests directly, I am afraid that they will be targeted by other nobles.
The Beati family had a strong reputation and power in the Heaeni Kingdom.
Mel and Philo danced for a long time, and the two chatted close to each other, Philo was obviously very happy, and Mel tried to reply.
Until Philo saw that Mel's face was tired, he smiled and took the initiative to let Mel rest, anyway, Mel's plan to marry him was rumored, and the nobles were not blind, so naturally they would not come to invite Mel to dance again.
Philo placed Mel on a plate, then turned to ask his servant for two drinks to quench his thirst, and when he returned with two drinks, he saw that Mel was no longer there.
After looking carefully, it turned out that Mel was actually by Xenia's side, and the two seemed to be chatting very happily, and suddenly Philo didn't know whether he should step forward or not.
After hesitating, he decided to wait for Mel to return with his glass.
"Oh, are you saying that there was a very direct conflict between Xu Mu and Fürth at the beginning?"
Xenia was bored watching everyone sweat on the dance floor, but Mel suddenly came to her and communicated with her.
Thinking that Mel was a noble lady of her own faction and a good friend of Bettina at the Academy of Magic, Xenia couldn't help but look at Mel with a lot of affection.
The old-school nobles next to Xenia heard that Xu Mu and Fürth had a direct conflict in the Academy of Magic, and they immediately pricked up their ears.
Mel smiled lightly: "I guess Her Majesty may not know, so I want to come and talk to you." ”
"I really don't know..."Xenia learned through Heaney that Xu Mu had a conflict with a nobleman in the Academy of Magic, but she didn't know that the nobleman who had a conflict with Xu Mu was actually Fürth, which made her interested.
"Before I came to the tea party, not only me, but everyone else thought that Betina's future marriage partner would be Fürth... I just didn't expect it. Mel thought that Xu Mu was an innate awakening of seven-system magic, and sighed.
"What does the conflict between Fürth and Xu Mu have to do with this matter?"
In fact, the matter is simple, that is, Xu Mu exchanged a few words with Bettina in the library, and then Fürth heard about it and came to the door out of jealousy, and provoked Xu Mu. ”
The old-school aristocrat next to him couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Wouldn't it? Fürth's kid, I've seen it before, it's not like this..."
