Chapter 80: The Awkward Bystander
Lin Ye sometimes does yearn for this kind of sensual life, but it is based on the premise of safety. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now that he is adrift on an overseas island, far from his own territory and subjects, he has to cooperate with people like Jason in order to be able to return to Blackfire Keep.
This is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
Even if he wanted to join the ranks of the nobles, he had to weigh the status quo.
During this time, a young man came to invite Charana to dance and pestered her.
With his consent, Fante was finally able to take advantage of the feast.
The butler Jason had assigned to him was to take care of other matters.
Lin Ye stood alone by the window, the governor's mansion was built against the sea, and in this corner he could see the waves of the sea.
The sea breeze diluted the smell of alcohol in the banquet hall, but this could not stop the enthusiasm of the dignitaries.
After all, this era is still in the stage of male superiority and female inferiority, and it is common for nobles to mess with flowers and grass and hook up with maids in the house.
Governor Dupont didn't seem to mind that.
"It's always a little embarrassing not to fit into this kind of life. Lin Ye laughed self-deprecatingly.
At this time, a waiter came with a tray.
On the tray are a variety of alcoholic beverages.
"Sir, do you need something?" the waiter asked respectfully, pausing in front of him.
The waiter was not tall and looked a little thin, but the waiter behaved very well.
To be able to work in the Governor's Mansion must be professionally trained.
"Just give me a glass of water. Lin Ye replied politely.
Now he was thinking about two questions, one was the test of tomorrow that Governor Dupont had spoken.
He kept speculating about what tests would be laid out in the character of Governor Dupont, and if he could get some clues, he would at least be well prepared.
The other problem was the four competitors that the butler told him.
Except for the wandering swordsman Terry, the other three Lin Ye had already seen it.
It was at the gates of the city that Hagriddin had met the core of the knights, handsome, tall, but very arrogant.
Surrounded by a group of men, he was drinking on the couch, accompanied by a few dancing girls, but he seemed a little absent-minded.
Miss Juffie was disappointed that she did not appear at the ball.
Lin Ye had made eye contact with him, but he didn't react at all.
Obviously, he didn't remember the scene that happened at the city gate, after all, for a powerful person like him, bullying a few civilians was as commonplace as a common thing.
He couldn't have memorized every civilian face.
What's more, how could a mere civilian come to such a place?
The second Ababa was a little unexpected by Lin Ye, thinking that as the son of a huge wealth, he would be a person who spent money and lived a corrupt life.
But Ababa's clothes are very ordinary, not only on the top of the dress, but also on his height, his appearance, and his temperament.
are infinitely close to the average of normal humans.
To put it bluntly, this is a young man who seems to be very ordinary.
He looked very kind, always with a smile on his face, and he was skilful and natural in his intertwining with the various gentry.
Many wealthy businessmen didn't even know his identity until he took the initiative to talk to him.
It wasn't until Ababa went far away that someone said that it was the son of Alihan.
This made these rich businessmen break out in a cold sweat, and they were annoyed that they couldn't negotiate two deals.
The third Sain, who was a little out of place in the whole ball, was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a smile like a spring breeze, his eyes were deep and wise, and he sat quietly with an ancient book in his hand, and his bearing was extraordinary.
His disciple was a boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he looked around with some curiosity.
He has the same but different things with Lin Ye.
The same thing is that they are also out of place in the venue and do not fit in here.
The difference is that Lin Ye is completely unattended, while Sain has many people to visit, but he is unwilling to associate with these gentry.
Even if it is refusal, it makes these gentry feel comfortable.
This is probably the so-called charisma.
Lin Ye was a little distracted by these questions, and he didn't notice the young waiter beside him at all.
"Sir, your water. The waiter handed over the glass.
Looking at Lin Ye's gaze, he was a little curious.
"Ah, I'm so sorry, I was a little distracted just now, thank you. Lin Ye took it and smiled apologetically.
He used to be a small clerk, and he also served tea and water to the leaders, knowing that these waiters are not easy.
"Why are you standing here alone and not participating in this dressage party? The waiter smiled kindly.
Compared with those middle-aged wealthy businessmen who are either bloated or arrogant young talents, this person is indeed a very special existence.
Of course, Sain also falls into this category.
It's just that the latter seems to be easy to get along with, but in his bones he rejects everyone.
"To be honest, I'm not used to such an occasion, and tomorrow is Miss Yufe's marriage test, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to spend all day drinking like this, right?" Lin Ye was a little apprehensive, after all, he and that Miss Yuffie had never met.
This is the work of his traditional psychology, and he cannot be as calm as other nobles.
"Aren't you a Duke from the Miracle Continent? This kind of ball should have been commonplace for a long time, and you don't have to worry about the young lady at all, the young lady is well-read, the nobleman's three wives and four concubines, mistresses, illegitimate children or something, they can all accept it. The waiter chuckled.
His understatement really made Lin Ye's eyes widen.
If he's not mistaken, this Miss Yuffie is about the same age as Link, just turning 14, right?
Sure enough, the children of the aristocratic families are precocious.
"Ahem, although I am a duke, my territory is very remote, not only does there not have this kind of ball, but the usual entertainment activities, that is, going to the village square and the villagers looking at the starry sky to roast the fire, drinking, this kind of occasion, this is the first time to see. Lin Ye confessed.
The clear-eyed waiter gave him a sense of trustworthiness.
And according to the script Jason gave him, it was probably the same, and he didn't need to hide it.
"That sounds like a lot of fun, it's so much more fun than this boring dance party. The waiter blinked.
As a waiter, he openly commented on this dance party and gave the word "boring".
This is really a very transgressive thing.
But Lin Ye's focus of thinking was completely on tomorrow's test, and he didn't care too much about this.
"Perhaps, whether or not we can return to the territory smoothly depends on that Miss Yuffie. Lin Ye was a little helpless.
At this time, someone was shouting in the distance.
"Hey, is it time to chat? Hurry up and bring me the wine. ”
The waiter apologized, "It's been a pleasure chatting with you, and I'm looking forward to your wonderful performance." ”
"Go get busy, I'm delaying your time. Lin Ye smiled, not minding this.
The waiter continued his work with the tray.
At this time, Fant walked over and said, "Link, who is that? ”
"It's just a waiter working in the Governor's Palace, then again, is this Miss Yuffie really not going to show up tonight?" Lin Ye was a little puzzled.
Naturally, he didn't notice that the waiter went directly to the inner hall after entering the crowd and putting down the tray in his hand.
It's not a place where workers like "him" are qualified to enter.
