Chapter 72: The Royal Opera House of Sydney

After arriving at the Royal Opera House in Sydney, surrounded by the carriages and palanquins of the nobles, Arthur took the lead in walking to the carriage and straightened his clothes before reaching out and asking the two ladies to step out of the carriage.

The Countess seldom went out on such occasions, and there were many acquaintances around her, and she only waved her hand lightly to say hello.

Elizabeth said with a smile as she took Arthur's hand. "You have the potential to be a noble gentleman now. ”

"Then I really want to thank you. Arthur said angrily.

The relationship between the two is not very close now, but because of the fact that there is a verbal marriage contract, there is more or less a bond for the two of them, and they always care about each other's thoughts unintentionally, although Arthur pays little attention to these, but it does not mean that Elizabeth will not care.

The Royal Opera House of Sydney was built in the early days of the royal capital, and has a very important historical value from the famous architect Mariello Sydney, which can accommodate 10,000 people at the same time.

The main body is divided into three parts, the dedicated opera hall, the main hall and the dining room. Ownership of the place was in the hands of the royal family, and the architecture and decoration inside were extravagant and open only to the nobles and wealthy of the upper class.

Arthur walked ahead of the two ladies, and many aristocratic young men and young ladies had come to watch with their parents, and he looked around with his spare eyes. I didn't see anyone worth noting.

Passing through the bright antechamber and following the direction of the waiter's guidance, it was about 1 prayer before the official start of the surrounding nobles and some rich gentlemen gathered together to talk.

Several ladies who knew the countess well stopped the mother and daughter, and Arthur had to walk into the main hall alone.

Miss Elizabeth had already booked her tickets in advance, and it was in a nice little room in the corner of the second floor, Arthur opened the door and walked to the guardrail to carefully examine the layout of the main hall.

The whole hall is formed in an irregular circle, sitting west to east, from the entrance to the end of the stage, from the bottom to the top of a total of 5 floors in the shape of a staircase.

The first floor of the hall is an ordinary area, which can accommodate about 8,000 people, and then the opposite floors on both sides are VIP areas, and the room structure is the same, but according to the interior decoration, it is divided into three grades of VIP areas: high, medium and low.

Arthur's room is the lowest VIP room, with 7 high-end leather chairs and 4 solid wood tables directly behind the railing, with lots of pastries and fruits on them.

As the time for the opening session approached, many people walked in from the outside one after another, nobles and wealthy people had excellent external cultivation, although there were quite a few people, but there was no sound at all. Arthur was lying on the railing on the second floor and looked at the group of people boredly, but he happened to see Gianna, the daughter of Viscount Wayne, and the two looked at each other from a distance.

Gianna saluted him politely, and Arthur nodded slightly, though he didn't want to see her.

A handsome young man stood next to Gianna and looked at Arthur with some frowning wrinkles when he saw her take the initiative to greet an unknown man.

But Arthur didn't pay attention to the man and looked elsewhere.

The door behind him was gently pushed open, and behind Arthur came the voices of several women, Yingying Yanyan, just listening to the voice, he knew that the master should not look bad.

"Arthur, I'll introduce you to some of my good sisters, and they've heard you've come out to see you. Elizabeth said.

"Elizabeth, how can you say that about us? I'm going to make my aunt spank you. Behind him came the angry voice of a young lady.

Arthur heard the movement behind him and looked back a few times, and saw that there were four young noble ladies secretly watching him. Arthur bowed politely. "Hello, young and beautiful young ladies. ”

The four of them bent their feet slightly and gently pulled the sides of the skirt to return the salute elegantly, Arthur looked carefully and then turned his gaze away, it is very impolite to keep staring at others.

Elizabeth walked in the middle and introduced Arthur. "On the far left is my cousin Jane Bennett, then Miss Caroline, daughter of Viscount Ayorne, Miss Merloti, daughter of Marquis of Ello, and Miss Kelly, daughter of Count Yeltsin. ”

Arthur smiled and looked at Miss Caroline, Viscount Edun is the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the royal capital, and most of the kingdom's financial expenditures must have his signed order, otherwise he will not get a penny. "Miss Caroline, I've been short of money lately, can you get your father to approve some more funds for the Knights of Wang Yao. He said half-jokingly.

Miss Caroline was also a very smart person, knowing that Arthur was just joking, and she put her hands on her hips and tilted her head slightly, pretending to be arrogant. "Hmph~ The current head of Wang Yao's regiment also has a shortage of money? No problem, I'll help you ask your father. ”

"Haha~~~" Several young people laughed without an image.

Arthur clapped his hands gently, somewhat admiring Miss Caroline's intelligence, and the relationship between the several people was much less separated and distanced because of a small joke.

The four young ladies themselves came to see him because they were curious about what kind of person Arthur had been in the limelight recently, but they didn't expect it to be much more interesting than they imagined. Less hypocrisy and more charm in mature men.

Swords are given to heroes, and princesses love knights. Who wouldn't want to find a mature, handsome, and funny man to be their husband?

Arthur chatted with them for a while, and a moment later the Countess entered. "Am I disturbing the small talk of some of you young people?" she said, smiling.

Jane Bennett, who looked a little like Elizabeth, ran briskly, smiling and holding the countess's hand. "Auntie, my cousin is bullying me again, you have to help me teach her a lesson. ”

"Stinky girl, you just owe it. ”

"Alright, don't make a fuss, Caroline, Melotti, Kelly, stay here if you don't have anything to do, the opera has already started anyway. The Countess said with a smile.

"Thank you, ma'am. The three ladies saluted.

After the few people sat down, Arthur did not choose to sit with a few people, but looked at the people who were sitting in the VIP room on the opposite floor with his hands behind his back.

In a luxurious room on the fifth floor opposite, the second prince Eliot and many young nobles around him were chatting in a low voice, and on the other side was the room where the eldest prince Nelson was, drinking with many people, not knowing what he was talking about, and laughing from time to time.

Although there is no soundproofing in the VIP room, each room will have a little magic that absorbs the sound source, so that you will not worry about ruining the fun or offending others.

Princess Andrea sat in a room in the corner of the third floor, and her sister Princess Sisi did not come with her today, which made Arthur slightly regretful. Her room was mostly filled with young aristocrats dressed in the costumes of the Royal Capital Academy.

Andrea noticed something and looked at Arthur's location, and looked at Arthur who appeared here with some surprise, after all, she had also sent Arthur an invitation but never heard back. Nodding at Arthur, the people next to her also looked at Arthur, but with a lot of uncertainty.

Arthur pondered for a moment, and there was no need to conflict over a trivial matter. Away from the guardrail, sit in the next seat. Asked casually. "Why didn't you see the third prince coming?"

Several aristocratic ladies looked at Arthur with some embarrassment, not knowing how to explain it, and Miss Caroline, who had always been straight-tempered, glanced at Arthur. "The third prince is not here, and it is very likely that he went to drink on Greek Street. ”

Arthur smiled dumbly and looked at the stage quietly with a side face, this third prince is still in the mood to find a woman in such a special period, it is really not an ordinary person.
