Chapter 489: Snow Castle Representative
The Marquis of Wilhausen, like the other nobles, walked towards his seat after entering. There are also a few more dependents who accompany him than the previous nobles at the earl level.
After all, this was one of only four marquis of the Marreno Empire.
"How about Ellie, can you see anything?" Su Wen asked Ellie next to her in a low voice.
Ellie stared at the back of the Marquis of Wilhausen for a few more seconds before replying, "I can't see it, there's nothing strange about it." ”
The strange place not only refers to the sense of disharmony in the Marquis of Wilhausen, but also refers to whether the other party's actions have been affected after Su Wen and the others have focused their attention.
Now it seems that the performance of the Marquis of Wilhausen is completely in line with the behavior pattern of a human being, and he does not feel the gaze of Su Wen and these people.
That's right, after all, it's a marquis, and staying calm under everyone's gaze is just a basic skill. He must have seen a lot of such scenes.
After Su Wen's target appeared, his mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and in addition to paying some attention to the Marquis of Wilhausen, he also began to look at the other guests.
"Duke of Rodesson, Miss Catherine Rodesson, welcome!"
Duke Rodesson, one of the two dukes of the Marenor Empire on the same level as the Duke of Snow Castle, was also unable to arrive due to the remoteness of his fiefdom, but he still sent a heavyweight representative. Listening to the comments of others, this Miss Catherine, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Rodesson, is currently studying at the Castle Theological Seminary.
Although the seminary in Wangcheng does not appear in the list of first-tier schools, its level is actually comparable to the three major famous schools. However, because of the nature of the seminary, it does not recruit students, and every year, the new students are selected and recommended by the local cults, and the number of them is only one or twenty.
Like the Imperial Academy, this academy is not a place where you can enter as long as you have a relationship and status, and the criteria for selecting students must follow the teachings of the Cult of God, and it is quite strict.
This Miss Catherine's "level" lies in this.
But the girl who appeared at the door was still a little different from Su Wen's imagination, this Miss Catherine's body shape was a little plump, and in one word to describe it, it was probably "slightly fat", but such a slight fat did not subtract points from the overall shape, but gave her a kind maternal beauty.
The beauty of motherhood is rare to see in a girl around twenty years old.
This is probably also due to the influence of the doctrine of the Divine Religion.
In fact, in this class where the standard of living is in the upper class, the obese are mainly concentrated in the rich merchants and some officials, and among the aristocracy, there are a minority.
Because in addition to the simple material conditions, the aristocracy paid more attention to physical health and spiritual development, and in such an environment, the number of obese people naturally decreased.
Catherine maintained a friendly smile and walked all the way, halfway through, she actually tilted her head slightly and looked in this direction of Su Wen. But the gaze did not stop, but fleeting.
But the meaning of the look in Catherine's eyes, Su Wen still felt it very clearly.
"Do you know?" asked Su Wen, turning to Ballot.
"Yes, but not very familiar. Barot replied truthfully.
Between the two ducal families, there is still more of an opposing position. As a family that has continued from the founding of the Maleno Empire to the present, the loyalty of the two families is undoubted, but with the passage of time, the relationship between the two families and the emperor has gradually begun to change to a general "monarch and subject relationship".
Emperor Marenaud obviously did not want to see frequent contact and close relations between the two dukes.
Su Wen only knew a little bit about political things, and he saw it from the book after he woke up. However, from Balot's brief answer, Su Wen could also guess what the relationship between the two families was.
"Welcome to the Duke of Snowcastle, Mr. Rosen Snowcastle, Miss Marina Snowcastle!"
"Your brother is here too?"
Rosen's appearance still surprised Su Wen.
"Yes, eh, didn't I say that?" replied Ballot, "My brother had sent us to school with his father's report to His Majesty the Emperor, but he received a notice at the moment and came to attend. Anyway, he has to go back, just to bring the news here to his father, Sister Marlena still needs to go to school. “
Although it was Lawson's name that came first, when he walked into the venue, Marlena and Lawson came in side by side, and there was no difference between who came first and who came later.
Rosen, Warrent's eldest son, was mostly known to the guests. But Marina, the "eldest daughter" who has only been recognized by Warrent, is not something that everyone has ever seen.
Therefore, this is also the first time that these guests have seen this "eldest lady" in the true sense of the snow castle.
At first glance, Marlena is just a well-dressed aristocratic lady, but when the guests really notice Marlena's eyes, they will be shocked to realize that this aristocratic lady is not just a vase, even if she has an appearance that is comparable to most of the acting stars on the scene.
Marina's gaze revealed a sense of confidence and firmness, and at the same time, there was also a sense of arrogance of a superior. In particular, when the guests present know the identity of Marina, this arrogance is the thing that can deter these people the most!
Just kidding, this is the illegitimate lady who was picked up not long ago? This is obviously an elite aristocrat who has been cultivated in secret!!
In contrast, Lawson, who behaves decently, is not so eye-catching.
Before this, Rosen was still quite afraid of this kind of occasion, but after following Lieutenant Colonel Tavlear to the north and escaping from the snow elves, his psychological quality has grown a lot.
"Wow, I feel like Sister Marlena is a little handsome today......" Ellie sighed as she looked at Marlena coming from the aisle.
For a long time when she was a child, Marlena was the object of Ellie's longing, and today, Ellie remembers that feeling.
“......”
Although Su Wen didn't speak, he had the same thoughts as Ellie in his heart.
Instead of staring straight ahead, Marlena walked and glanced among the guests. Many of the guests who came into contact with Marina's eyes looked away at the first time, and only a few were able to hold on calmly.
This is...... Demonstrations?
Many guests have such thoughts in their hearts.
But soon, such thoughts dissipated in an instant.
Because of Marina, after seeing Ballott and Ellie and the others, she suddenly showed a smile like a spring breeze and waved her hand in the direction of Ellie.
The whole process is quite natural, and it doesn't feel pretentious at all! Even some women who have a bad first impression of Marlena have to admit that a wave of the snow castle lady is like a spring breeze!
Immediately afterwards, Marlena showed a surprised expression, and this surprised expression was because of Su Wen.
It's that person again!!
Who the hell is that man, and why...... To meet so many people of high status!?
Therefore, the eyes of these people were concentrated again, and they were placed on Su Wen, who was now in the focus of Ma Lina's gaze.
Ellie naturally felt these gazes, but this time, she didn't bother Su Wen again. Just sit upright and look at these gazes as nothing.
