Section 159: Dinner Party (4)
"Welcome to Lisa's 20th birthday dinner. Twenty years ago today, my wife brought me an angel from heaven, and she was Lisa. I still remember the first time I saw her, I looked at her big eyes, and a strange feeling surged in my heart......"
Marquis Louis King gave a speech in front of the crowd and raised his hand at the end.
"Next, our protagonist tonight, my daughter, Lisa Kim!"
Then a young lady emerged from the top of the spiral staircase and slowly paced down, smiling gracefully.
Her evening gown was a blue-based outfit, and in traditional evening gowns, blue is a color that is hardly used, let alone as the main color, which is a bold move that is extremely eye-catching.
At the same time, a peculiar light dance floats above Lisa's head, moving with her steps, specifically illuminating her. In addition, today is her birthday party, under the influence of the interweaving of several elements, as soon as Lisafu appeared, she became the only well-deserved focus of the audience, everyone's eyes were focused on her, and some of them would whisper to each other about her.
Billy and Norman, for example, were talking.
"She's so beautiful today, it's just that this dress is so bold, even bolder than the clothes you make. β
It's a discussion, but it's basically Billy talking.
"Alan, do you have any opinion on this evening dress of hers? I'd love to hear what you have to say. β
Norman said casually, "No." β
After a long day of socializing just now, his mouth was so dry that he couldn't quench his thirst even after pouring three glasses of wine, and now he really doesn't want to talk much.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lisa, who was slowly pacing down the stairs, but Norman's eyes were wandering around, focusing on where there was juice - this wine really didn't quench thirst, and the more you drank it, the more thirsty it became, so let's go drink some juice.
It's just that now everyone is standing still, welcoming the entrance of the protagonist, and he can't go to the side to get the juice alone, so he has to stand with them, praying in his heart that this woman will come down quickly, and don't walk so slowly.
The staircase was long and sometime, and Lisa finally entered the arena and came to the side of the Marquis of Kim, and then she spoke first, and then the Marquis of Kim spoke again, and the ball was officially opened.
Finally able to go and drink juice.
Norman thought so, but his feet still didn't moveβhe, along with the others, was waiting for today's protagonist to choose her dance partner and dance her first dance.
For today's ball, Norman really made up for the rules of the aristocratic dinner, so he also knew about them.
Juice, juice, juice......
Norman thought about the juice, but felt that the atmosphere around him was gradually getting wrong.
He came back to his senses, looked closely, and saw that Lisa was walking towards him, and after a few steps, he was already in front of him.
"Can I invite you to do a dance, Alan?"
Lisa held out her hand, smiled gracefully, and extended an invitation.
Traditionally, at a birthday party like this, the heroines would pick their father to do the first dance, and once they chose a boy to dance the first dance, it meant that they were interested in the man.
"My poor old fellow Louis, you have been abandoned by your daughter. β
Brandry watched the scene and teased knowingly.
Louis smiled bitterly and sighed, "Yes, my little Lisa has grown up. He said, glancing at Normando, "It's our tailor friend from Mr. Billy, oh, he's a black-robed mage." β
In addition to these two big shots, everyone else was also watching and whispering, and this place became the focus of the audience again for a while.
"Absolutely. β
Although Norman scolded his mother for selling 10,000 sentences in his heart, he still accepted the invitation with a smile, let Lisa take his hand, and the two walked towards the dance floor, ready to start the first dance.
Norman and Lisa stepped onto the dance floor, saluted gracefully, and began the first dance as the band's music played, and the others entered the dance floor one after another, and the dance officially began.
Oh my juice!
Norman groaned in his heart, but at the moment he had no choice but to dance with Lisa on the dance floor, which he had specially practiced for today's ball.
"I didn't expect you to be not only knowledgeable about spells, but also so superb in dance,"
Lisa rested her head on Norman's chest and whispered to him, "I wonder when you'll be going to the Crypt? β
Norman knew it was going to be like this.
The Knights Templar had already told him the details of Lisa, so he knew that Lisa was also a member of the Skull and Bones Society.
She'd come to herself for this first dance, apparently as well as the other members of the Skull and Bones who kept coming up, all to express their desire to communicate with her in magic.
"I'll be going to the tomb in two days, and you're welcome to come and exchange your magic knowledge with me. β
"This evening dress of yours is very special, which tailor made it?" ......
The two jumped and chatted, and Norman coped politely all the way, and finally managed to make it to the end, and quickly ran to the side to get a glass of juice and take a big sip...... Well, pay attention to the influence, pay attention to the demeanor.
At the Templar Order's reminder, he quickly drank the juice and was about to take another piece of cake to cushion his stomach, when another lady appeared in the morning.
"Can I dance with you?"
This time it was June, the lady who had just come over to talk.
Norman forced himself to laugh, "Of course. β
So the first large-scale ball that Norman participated in was spent in this state of constant invitation, and it never stopped from beginning to end, one after another, this one went and that one, all of them were beautiful women, and they were not just vases, they were all the kind of internal and external cultivation types that had their own strength and appearance, and they were greatly envied by others.
These ladies are usually the focus of the ball, and they are all the types who are scrambling to invite them to dance, but now they are rushing to invite a man to dance, how can this not make other men envious?
They didn't know that Norman didn't know how many words he had scolded in his heart.
These aristocratic ladies were beautiful to the men present, but to Norman, they were ugly and distinctive, and dancing with them was really not sexual, let alone enjoyable, only torture.
And perhaps because Billy and Norman have always had a close relationship from the entrance to the back, Earl Billy, who usually only goes around to talk to the noble lady, has become the victor tonight.
Those friends who couldn't get the opportunity to dance with Norman for a while and didn't let go of this Norman also invited Billy to dance to see if they could learn more about Norman from here.
This made Earl Billy bubbling with beauty tonight, and his spirits were all the more refreshed, and he was even more convinced that Norman was his lucky star.
