048: Commoners and Aristocrats

Faced with the invitation suddenly handed over by Roshi, Christina was obviously stunned for a moment, and she asked: "Mr. Roshi, I don't understand what you mean, the prom refers to the prom in the college auditorium?"

"Yes. Roshi nodded

Christina Dai frowned slightly, and persuaded her: "I don't think it's a rational decision, you know, George is also there, if you go at this time..."

"It's fine. Roshi interrupted with a shake of his head

After a pause, he asked Christina, "Thank you very much for maintaining me, if you are implicated because of this, it will be very bad for me to prevent you from attending the ball." ”

"No," Christina shook her head and said honestly, "Actually, I didn't do anything, I just put forward my own opinion, I didn't expect George's reaction to be so violent, if I did it again, I might not have stepped forward, so you don't have to thank me." ”

Psychologically, she may have stopped George out of gratitude to Roshi, but more often because she felt it was the wrong thing to do.

"It doesn't matter what happened anymore, you helped me anyway, that's a fact. Roshi shook his head.

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Alright, Christina, I don't think we have to fight over this anymore and miss the ball." ”

"But—" Christina hesitated.

"It's a celebration day, isn't it? What Roshi meant was to make her not miss this important moment for her.

Christina mistakenly thought that Roshi was referring to the celebration day George would not make crazy moves, and after thinking about it, it made sense, and nodded.

"Okay. ”

At this time, the auditorium of the academy was already full of people, and the men were dressed in proper dresses, holding hands with the beautiful ladies next to them, and chatting with the guests about various topics.

Originally, only nobles could participate in the celebration ball, and it was Alen, the most powerful person in the Prussian Kingdom, who broke this convention, and a few years ago he made a mandatory request to the nobles everywhere, and on such days, all nobles must be present to meet with the commoners from all over the world, and the student group was also included in the category of the ball.

At first, this regulation was resisted by many nobles, after all, they couldn't imagine that this was a ball with commoners.

It's just that after being ruthlessly suppressed, the nobles felt that it was not worth risking their lives on such a trivial matter, so they compromised later.

However, it can still be seen that in the auditorium, students and nobles maintain a little distance from each other, Eiffel's situation is relatively better, Barak has always strictly enforced Allen's rules, and some extreme cities even have students and nobles in the auditorium in two different areas.

However, the benign situation in Eiffel City at this time also seems to be beginning to show signs of separation, because many people have found that the Count of Barak is late today.

As the owner of Eiffel City, Allen's staunch supporter, he has always been the first to arrive since the celebration was held, and he is very close to the people in everything he says and does, but today he is a little late.

And as soon as he entered the venue, he did not greet the civilians and students around him and chat enthusiastically as before, but went straight to the innermost part of the auditorium under the protection of the guards.

Here, a dozen guards controlled an area, and several richly dressed nobles were sitting on the sofa chatting, they were nobles from other city-states.

Are the rumors true?

Recently, there has been a rumor among the people that many of Allen's measures have caused discontent among the nobles, who are ready to unite against these policies.

If that's the case, that's too bad.

In recent years, the aristocratic class has changed to a certain extent, and it has become much closer to the people, such as the indiscriminate killing of innocents has become very rare in recent years.

The root cause of these changes is that many of their rights have been taken away, and their unjustified military rights are strictly regulated and they themselves need to be bound by the law.

If they take back these rights again, they will undoubtedly return to the situation they used to be, and for students who already have ideas, they will have a deep understanding of how this will affect them.

Some of the vengeful and learned students were already worried, but some of the students who had a good relationship with the aristocracy, or who were just nobles, were in a happy mood.

In one corner of the auditorium, a young man with blond hair came over with a wine glass, sat down on the sofa, and patted George next to him:

"What?," he smiled, handing over the glass.

George's face looked a little gloomy: "It's unbelievable that a pariah would dare to offend a nobleman in order to protect another pariah." ”

The blond-haired young man said helplessly: "No way, it's not ten years ago, and now the one on the stage is speaking for these civilians openly and secretly, I really don't know where he has so much sympathy for a nobleman."

George said coldly: "Haven't you heard that legend? He was originally a pariah, but he was lucky to get the favor of wizards to get to where he is today, what kind of kingdom hero, in fact, he is the same kind as these untouchables themselves, of course he will think about them, hmph! The kingdom should not have given him rights in the first place." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled coldly: "Wait, his performance will end here, this country is not his kingdom alone!"

Hearing this, the blonde boy's eyes lit up, he looked left and right, leaned into George's ear and whispered, "So... Are the rumors true?"

George picked up the glass on the table, took a sip, and nodded carelessly.

The blond-haired young man's eyes tightened, he glanced at the circle on Count Barak's side, and said, "Do they really have the guts? Marshal Allen has 20,000 troops in his hands, and they are on the battlefield!"

"That's the king's army!" George curled his mouth contemptuously: "The nobles are loyal to the king and govern their own territories, this is a tradition that has been established since ancient times, as long as everyone unites, even the king will not be able to keep his word!"

The blonde boy's eyes rolled twice, not knowing what he was thinking, and nodded: "That's it..."

At this moment, there was a commotion at the gate not far away.

"Hey, Christina, why are you here now? What about your dress, how are you dressed like this?"

"Something is wrong, it's too late to change the dress..."Christina responded to her classmates' inquiries with some discomfort.

George also heard Christina's voice, and he subconsciously tilted his jaw to that side, and saw Christina at a glance, and at the same time saw Luo Xi next to Christina.

Suddenly, the blonde boy saw George stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Heh, dare you come here, are you demonstrating to me? I'll go, Harris, I'll take you to have some fun!"
