040: Dinner Party among the nobles
With brisk steps, Alice walked down the long street, her ankles aching from her unaccustomed high heels, but from the look of joy and anticipation, it was clear that she didn't care about it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since she was a child, she has heard many stories about the aristocracy, who did not have to work hard, did not have to get up early and stay up late, and their daily work was to dress themselves up and shuttle through all kinds of banquets, make friends with people with the same aspirations and status, and shape the future with the exchange of ideas and visions.
Alice dreams of becoming a nobleman!
This is exactly what practiced magic assiduously, but it all seemed unattainable, and even if he put almost all his time and energy into it like Leon, he would not be able to enter that circle.
Knowing that she didn't have that perseverance and perseverance, she was not willing to live her life like this, and had been looking for an opportunity to break through, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly!
Just yesterday afternoon, she suddenly received two invitations from the Reeves family, inviting him and Leon to attend their young master Kane's birthday dinner, as long as she met a few aristocratic partners in this banquet, then a good life in the staggered high society would no longer be a dream.
"Leon is really, such a good opportunity was wasted, what's the use of only knowing how to cultivate all day long?" remembered that when she told Leon the news, the other party didn't care that she was angry and didn't fight.
But when she looked down at her high heels and the evening gown she had borrowed from a wealthy lady from a well-off family, the gloom disappeared, and after some elaborate dressing, she felt like a princess, and the doors of a luxurious palace were opening for her.
The light rhythm and beautiful music wafted over the estate, and the long tables of food released tantalizing aromas, and the dinner began as the crowd poured in.
"This brown dress suits you well, Roshi, but the collar is a little wrinkled, you keep your head down, I'll help you tidy it up," Suvia gestured to Roshi, who was beside her.
"Really?" Luo Xi lowered his head slightly, let Su Wei's jade hand be at the mercy of his neck, and said casually: "I still remember the last time you lied to me about mouthwash and said that it was fine champagne."
"You're really... It's quite a grudge," Su Wei said with a flush of cheeks
"Yes, I'll never forget, Viscount Ori's completely green face when I poured two glasses of joy to pay homage to your father," Roshi said with a grumbling voice
"Haha, didn't my father teach me a lesson later, okay"
Twisted her neck, I felt a lot more comfortable, no wonder I always felt that something was weird just now, my eyes returned to Suvia, Luo Xi swept up and down, today she wore a set of evening dresses decorated with crescent white gold silk patterns, simple but noble and elegant, with her beautiful face, completely glamorous!
"You are so beautiful today," Roshi expressed his praise from the bottom of his heart
"What should I say, thank you?" said Suvia, with a smile on her face
"Where is Baron Reeves? Shall we say hello?"
"It should be over there, with my father, let's go over"
Unlike the old days, the Reeves family rose like a comet at this time, so even though it was a casual excuse for the banquet, the people who went to the banquet still filled the spacious venue.
Roshi and Suvia struggled through the crowd for a while before they came to Baron Reeves, who was standing with Viscount Ori and Baron Cadia and several other high-ranking nobles.
No matter how hot the fight is behind the scenes, both sides have not torn their faces at this time, and the surface etiquette is still decent, which is the most basic quality as a nobleman.
"Father, Baron Marshall, Baron Reeves"
"Uncle Ori, Baron Marshall, Baron Reeves"
With their glasses in hand, Roshi and Suvia stepped forward and saluted
"Hehehe, nephew Roshi, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is it, are you still used to banquets?" I heard that you came directly from the academy with Yaji, she didn't play tricks on you, right" The first to speak was Viscount Ori in a dark blue dress, still with a gentle and kind attitude
"Father," Suvia interrupted
"This is the child of the Tello family, who has grown so big, who really looks like your father," Baron Cadia took over and smiled at Roshi with an inexplicable smile
"Yes, it won't be long before I can inherit Carlos's title of nobility, and I should be ready for my wedding with Jaggie, so I'll have to take care of Landnott with Jaggie in the future."
Obviously, when Viscount Ori's words fell, the corners of Cadia's mouth twitched, and the gaze that looked at Roshi flashed with a fierce light.
"Yes, Uncle Ori, I will not disappoint the high hopes you have placed on it" Scolding Ori, the old fox, Roshi gritted his teeth and swore an oath
"Okay, Jaggie, hello Roshi, you guys go play" Viscount Ori, who didn't know that Roshi was using the necromantic servant to circle him in his heart, still said happily, and then asked Baron Cadia, "By the way, why didn't you see Fred today?"
Stop dreaming, he's not going to come... That idiot is still holding the letter that 'Suvia' wrote to him, preparing his candlelit dinner in the fluorescent forest...
For Fred, who might get in the way of him today, Roshi certainly had a calculation, borrowed an ornament from Suvia early, and then simulated her notes and letters.
He asked Fred to meet with him, and asked for some flowers, red wine, and a romantic atmosphere of green space, and for what reason, he naturally made up for it...
The eyes that shone with the light of wisdom stayed motionless on the back of Roshi's departure, and Carman's brows furrowed unconsciously, holding the delicate wine glass.
For this chess piece that he personally used to make an important step by himself, he has studied Luo Xi in depth, and he always feels that today's Luo Xi is weird.
“...... Master Kaman?"
"Ah, Lord Baron, what's the matter?" the successive calls in his ears finally woke Carman from his musings, and he turned his head to Cailliaud in question
"I ought to ask you, is that what happened? you have been absent-minded since just now," said Baron Cailliaud, smiling
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered something," Carman said casually, and then straightened his spirits, glanced at Ori and Cadia, who were eagerly chatting next to him, and suddenly looked at Baron Cayo, and said in a lower voice: "By the way, Lord Baron, I have something to ask you."
"But it doesn't hurt to say"
"I wish we could see each other," Carman said in a deep voice
"What do you mean?" Cayo pretended to be stunned
"You know"
"Hehehehehe" Baron Cayo's gaze swept from the crowd, swept past Roshi, who had already walked away, turned around and said with a smile: "Master Caman, I'm not a prophet, how can I know your thoughts" Before Cailliaud could speak again, he shifted his words: "Okay, let's talk about something else, okay?"
"As for your request," after a pause, Cailliaud said the signal that Roshi had given in advance, "Wait for the horn to blow!"
