Chapter Ninety-Nine
Half an hour later, a large number of suitors had gathered in the hall of the Maple Leaf Village Garden. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Crick Keane, who was in a wheelchair, was still calm, but the baroness who was pushing the wheelchair was already disgraced, and the word "nervous" was clearly written on her face.
His subordinates and guards were even more like a great enemy, obviously nervous, but they didn't dare to act rashly, they looked very anxious and embarrassed, and they were restless.
This made many suitors secretly complacent, and they had fewer scruples in their hearts.
Even if the strong man can come back alive from the battlefield of "the day the sun goes out", there will be a day when the end of the road and death is approaching. Look at the appearance of Creek now, like a beast about to die, even a puppy that has not been weaned can swagger at it.
Of course, these suitors are not puppies, on the contrary, they are all insidious and cunning characters, and almost none of them are good people.
Where are the really easier and kinder ones?
"Teacher, why are you gathering us together?" Miss Anna is having a drinking party......" Stephen grumbled bitterly, puzzled by the teacher's decision.
Romon smiled, did not answer, just took the wine glass, and greeted the suitors he invited one by one, and from time to time he also clinked glasses, drank a little, and smiled and said a few words.
These suitors who were invited by him were all screened and had relatively good character. Among them are knights with declining families, adventurers who are tired of fighting, young people who are confident in their talents, and down-and-out aristocrats who can't get along in their families and just want a place to escape.
But they all agree on one thing -- at least in terms of Crick's morality, they're all good people.
That's enough.
So tonight, when Crick was about to clear the scene, he asked Romon to come forward and invite them all with the help of the reputation of the Carter family.
Of course, there is another reason for inviting them, that is, to negotiate matters of cooperation and common development.
Anna Keane was not a famous beauty, and none of the suitors really came to Keane because they loved her. These more decent suitors were relatively weak and had little hope. Rather than competing with dangerous elements like Conor Griffin and Duruk Ritchie, it might be more practical to talk to the Carter family about cooperating.
Unfortunately, not all of the invitees came, and there was one who was obsessed with going to "Miss Anna's Drinking Party", for whom Crick could only say - if you die, you will die.
He is a good man, but he is not capable of being a virgin. He can't save those who have to go to death.
After a while, Romon greeted all the invitees, went to the center of the makeshift meeting room set up in the hall of the rented tavern, and exclaimed, "Welcome! First of all, allow me to introduce you to the host of tonight's party, Miss Anna Keane!"
For a moment, the entire venue was silent. All eyes were on Anna Keane, who was walking slowly in the form of a maid, and watched her walk in through the back door of the hall, and unhurried to the center of the hall, standing next to Romon and Stephen.
No one thought that Miss Anna, who was supposed to appear at the cocktail party, would appear here!
And...... It was actually introduced by Romon .
Not only that, but look at where they are standing at the moment, on the far left is Romon, then Stephen, then Anna, and finally Rena - Anna is actually standing next to Stephen, looking like a young couple!
What does this mean? The Aren Keanes have decided to marry the Carters?
It seems reasonable to think about it carefully, first of all, Stephen Carter and Anna Keane are about the same age, and then this young man is handsome and has a certain foundation, at least in this venue, the comprehensive conditions are indeed the best.
So ...... Wouldn't others be out of play?
Thinking of this, a knight who was anxious couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me...... Is Miss Anna engaged to Mr. Stephen Carter?"
He asked straightforwardly, without even the slightest turn, which immediately made the faces of several thoughtful suitors around him darken.
Is there anyone who speaks like that? When this question is asked, there are only two answers: "yes" or "no." It's like forcing Miss Anna to make a decision!
Maybe Miss Anna is still hesitant and hasn't made up her mind yet, but when asked like this, she may have to answer "yes".
As for the possibility of answering "no...... If Stephen fails, do they have any hope? Don't kid yourself!
For a while, five or six pairs of eyes that looked at this reckless knight were full of anger, and he couldn't understand what was wrong with him.
And things turned out just as the thoughtful suitors had predicted. Anna hadn't made up her mind yet, but when she was asked like this, she didn't have time to think about it, turned her head to look at Stephen, who was a little dazzling, took a deep breath, and replied as calmly as possible: "Yes." ”
It is appropriate to use "mourning all over the field" to describe the mood of the suitors in the hall at this moment. Some people, in particular, noticed the hesitation in Anna's eyes, and noticed that she first turned her head to look at Stephen before finally making up her mind to answer like this.
When they saw that scene, many people felt that their hearts were broken.
But more people are secretly relieved, with a sense of relief.
If you want to continue to work hard when you have no hope for something, it is really torture!
I don't know who led the way, but someone in the hall applauded. Then others followed suit, and the applause soon became one, and some people whistled, plunging this small venue, which was neither luxurious nor lively, into a joyful atmosphere.
Stephen's mind was dazed, and he felt a little dizzy.
Why did it suddenly ...... Did it work?
He really hadn't thought about this at all, although in the past few days, through the projection crystal, he had talked to Miss Anna several times, talked about a lot of things, and felt that this Miss Baroness was indeed a very good person, and he was very suitable for himself......
But how did it suddenly turn into an engagement?
He didn't expect it at all!
So ignorant, he subconsciously turned his head and wanted to ask the teacher.
Romon who had been paying attention to him immediately cast his magic, and an invisible "mage hand" quietly cast it, and gently pushed Stephen's side face, so that he who was about to turn his head to look at his side turned to Anna's side instead.
On the other side, in Anna's ears, she heard Romon's voice.
"Look this way. ”
She was a little shy and embarrassed, and she subconsciously did so, and raised her head to look at Romon side, just as Stephen was looking at each other.
This is the first time that boys and girls have really looked at each other since they "met".
They had chatted several times before with the help of projection crystals, talked a lot, and they both had a good impression of each other.
But they hadn't actually met.
Even in this meeting, the two sides did not really look at each other so seriously.
After all...... They're all shy teenagers.
This time, under Romong's arrangement, they finally saw each other's eyes, and through their eyes, they saw each other's hearts.
Those are two pairs of equally clear eyes, and those are two equally innocent hearts.
Like a magnet, the eyes of the two sides did not separate after they met. Their eyes were a little dazed and curious at first, but soon turned into a gentle smile, and the two pairs of eyes seemed to be able to speak, exchanging each other's thoughts and communicating each other's emotions.
The hall gradually fell silent, and everyone smiled and looked at the young boy and girl staring at each other.
I don't know how long it took, but someone suddenly sneezed around with an itchy nose.
In the quiet hall, the sneezing was so loud that it woke Stephen and Anna up. They hurriedly turned their heads, their faces flushed with invariably, and their heads hung down deeply, as if they had been carved out of a mold.
"Haha! what a husband and wife!" laughed a bold adventurer, "you are indeed the best match!"
Stephen and Anna's faces turned even redder, but they couldn't help but laugh again.
Seeing this scene, Romon couldn't help but laugh, and while laughing, he raised the wine glass in his hand.
"Cheers to bless them!"
The guests also burst into laughter and raised their glasses together.
"Cheers to Master Stephen and Miss Anna!"
Glasses were brought to their lips, and just as they were about to drink the wine full of joy and blessings, a loud noise came from outside the city.
That's the direction of Maple Leaf Village. (To be continued.) )
