Chapter 696: Confrontation (There is one more, ask for subscription)
"Hello, Earl Abraham, I salute you with the highest respect. ”
The nobles and their families who passed by saluted the moon, and in any case, the Abrahams, as an earlly family, had a high enough status in the whole of Sambia.
The Abraham family fled from the Duchy of Flanders to the Lorraine Empire, and the affairs of the family were handled by Yue Yong, and the previous head of the family, Pandoragon Abraham, that is, the king of the Duchy of Flanders, was in a state of recuperation after experiencing the destruction of the country, and was usually in a state of cultivation, so the position of earl should fall on Yue Yong.
"Have the Proudnes men arrived?"
Yueyong, who was wearing a long dress, walked to the ceremony table in the center of the hall, covered her mouth with a fan and asked the maids beside her, these people were all brought from Flender and were her henchmen.
"Not yet, it's an arrogant family, and our banquet has to wait for everyone...... Do you want to start the paperwork early? ...... before they come."
"No, the news that they are coming has been made public, we don't wait, we don't greet, it's tantamount to saying to the outside world that we don't agree with each other, and it's not long now, there are still a lot of news agency teams outside, wait, wait another half an hour, and they don't come by nine o'clock, then it's not our rudeness, it's their rudeness." ”
There is also a limit to being late, this limit is determined by the difference in status, the location of the Prudence family estate is only half an hour away from the Abraham family estate, the official admission dinner at half past seven o'clock, the official start at half past eight, and the news from the outside world will naturally be biased to Abraham's side.
Bullying foreign families, looking down on the Abrahams, disdainful of invitations from low-level families, as long as they operate a little, these headlines will appear on the pages of major newspapers tomorrow, and then it will be the Prudence family who will have a headache.
"What should I do, take the initiative to say hello? But I'm not used to this way of dealing with people, and this ...... Swap me for a drink, thank you. ”
Obviously the core of this banquet in a sense, Kailot, at this time is basically in a state of no one, occasionally someone comes over to chat a few words, and they are all Fimia beside him, and without exception, they are also barons or directors of the Chamber of Commerce who are also not very high.
The banquet was lively, but there was no one within three meters of the sofa where Kailot was, which was not a normal situation, as if everyone deliberately ignored him or ignored him in a silent way.
For some people with poor psychological endurance, in the face of this silent exclusion, as the protagonist of the banquet, it is estimated that he will suffer a lot in his heart, but Kailot doesn't care, and he expects to be able to stay quietly until the time to receive the paperwork.
"There's nothing to deal with, it's just a bunch of wall grass, heh, look at their eagerness around Mina, I don't know what it would be like to know that the actual ruler of the Aoki Islands is being left out by them. ”
Femia's gaze swept over everyone around her, she was taking note of these faces, she was very dissatisfied with the attitude of these people, Kailot deserved this treatment, the leader of the green tree, deserved all respect.
"Now it seems that it is right for Mina to pretend that she is not familiar with us, there should be some news spread outside, so that these barons and viscounts can avoid me as if they were avoiding trouble, this can be regarded as a ban......, right?
Sipping the drinks handed by the waiter, some people moved much faster than expected, not only this dinner, but they were already ready to give Kailot a slap in the face outside the banquet, so that he would know who to follow!
"The Proudness family, Mr. Gary Prudence is here. ”
Gary Proudens, the current Prudence family as the heir is the middle of the voice, not as good as his brother, but with the acquiescence of the current head of the family, he can already represent the family at some less important banquets, note that the "less important" here is intriguing, for the low-ranking nobles, it is worth bragging about being able to invite Gary Prudence, and for some high-ranking nobles, only the arrival of Prudence means that they do not pay attention to the banquet.
Isn't that a sign that they admit that they are inferior nobles, and that is an honor to invite Prudence?
Unhappy? The first time Prudence sent someone to your banquet, you shook your face to show them, can you play happily together in the future?
This is very embarrassing, Kailot does not know about the affairs between nobles, but it does not prevent him from relying on his excellent hearing to gather information around him, from the beginning of the appearance of Gary Prudence, there are some less friendly remarks in the surrounding crowd, many people understand Gary Prudence's arrival, and express joy at the embarrassing scene that Abraham will face next...... These people were looking forward to seeing the Abrahams eating turtles!
The time came to test Yueyong, standing on the stage, she looked through the crowd and saw Gary Prudence, and she didn't have too many expressions, this situation, she already had an expectation in her heart, compared to the indifference of Kailot and Femia, as a qualified family leader, she couldn't retreat at this time.
Walking off the stage and going to greet him in person, a smile appeared on Gary Prudence's face for the first time, in his opinion, this is a sign of submission, a countess greeted him personally, his gaze swept unscrupulously over the snow white and slender long legs on Yueyong's chest, which was impolite, but the people around him became "blind" at this time.
"Hello, Mr. Gary Proudens, is this time again on behalf of the Proudnes family? ”
Yue Yong's words were like a knife that had just been pulled out of the hot molten iron, and it was slammed into Gary Prudence's chest, and the latter's face immediately turned red, and the words "sir", "brother", and "gathering among nobles" in Yue Yong's mouth deeply hurt his fragile heart.
Ordinary people listen to it like an ordinary greeting, doesn't it? In fact, it has multiple meanings.
First of all, the inheritance of titles among nobles exists, but it is based on the premise that the previous head of the family will inherit the title by his heir, so strictly speaking, Gary Prudence is just an ordinary person at this time, and he can only have such a status because of the Prudence family, so Yue Yong, who is about the same age as Gary Prudence, is fully qualified to mock him in terms of identity as a countess.
In addition, Gary Prudence looks beautiful, but in fact this will not last long, because the next head of the Prudence family will be elected in the next few years, is there a good chance that he will be chosen? Very large! The second largest of all the nominal heirs of the Prudence family! Unfortunately, there is only one position of the head of the family......
His elder brother Van Lundin Prudence is one year older than him, the eldest son, this condition is not a big problem, the world does not want the eldest son to inherit this set, they pay attention to the family of capable people, it stands to reason that there should be competitiveness, right? However, Van Lendin Plundens has fully demonstrated his talent and talent as the future head of the Prudence family in recent years, and at the age of more than 20 years, he has made the credit of making him the Viscount of the Empire......
Gehry Prudence sometimes thinks so, but the problem is that if he can do that...... Won't the family run for him?
This...... It's embarrassing.
Van Lendin Prudence was like a mountain weighing on the head of Gary Prudence, and the nobles of Oshelin knew that the name of the former was a taboo in front of the latter, because if nothing else, when Van Lendin took over the position of head of the Prudence family, his younger brother would be a less important representative of the family forever......
"You!...... Moonsong Abraham, I'll remember you. ”
It was a bad feeling to be humiliated by someone his age and not have any reason to fight back, but Gary Prudence couldn't punch it because what he said was largely true, and he couldn't even say anything to refute it.
The first confrontation between the two sides, Yue Yong won, undoubtedly won, but it was only the first confrontation, the people around saw Gary Prudence deflated, and what they thought of would not be the victory of the Abraham family, but how Abraham should face the family standing behind Gary Prudence in the future, it is easy to lose face here, and when the time comes, you may have to lose a lot of things secretly!
The discussion still existed, and the eyes of the surrounding nobles looked at her with indifference and undisguised doubt, Yue Yong felt it, she could also feel that the maid next to her was very nervous, what was she worried about?
But none of these people thought about what she would face if she showed weakness just now? Will the Sambian noble circles, including the Proudence family, extend a hand of friendship to her because of her groveling, I'm afraid not, it is more likely to be more and more cruel exploitation and suppression!
The strength of the family can never be obtained by humble begging, and it has to pay a huge price.
The Abrahamic family was never a cowardly family.
