Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Marquis's Birthday Banquet
On the day of the Marquis's birthday party.
The huge banquet hall is thousands of square meters, with five identical rune lamps hanging overhead, and a red cashmere blanket on the floor.
The surrounding walls and pillars are pure white, and there are magnificent patterns and decorations on them.
Tables covered with white tablecloths are filled with a variety of food and drinks, surrounded by maids dressed in uniform maid attire.
A group of men and women in ceremonial dresses walked into the banquet hall, including seven members of the Fergus family.
Gray wears a gown with a white predominantly yellow inlay, and the Fergus family crest on the cuffs.
The shoulders of the gown are clustered with colorful feathers, and the neck is tied with a ribbon into a large white bow tie.
Viscount Fergus, Bernal, and Ellis also wore similar dresses, showing nobility and temperament.
Lady Milan, Caroline, and Sarah wore long dresses of different styles and colors.
Mrs. Milan wore a purple low-cut dress, a purple gemstone necklace around her neck, and a pair of gold earrings set with diamonds on her ears, full of the temperament of a noblewoman.
Caroline is wearing a light blue dress, with a towering chest and a slender waist, revealing her beautiful figure.
Sarah wore a beautiful white dress, like a budding white flower.
"Viscount Fergus, Lady of Milan......"
When everyone entered the banquet hall, they were immediately greeted by nobles and greeted everyone.
The Fergus family shined in this year's viscount war, winning the first place in the viscount battle in one fell swoop, which surprised many noble families and gave birth to the idea of befriending the Fergus family.
"Baron Green, Lady Maggie......"
"Baron Baker, Lady Elma......"
……
For this kind of overture, Viscount Fergus did not refuse to come, and responded politely one by one.
"It's an honor to meet you, Uncle Givo!"
"It's an honor to meet you, Uncle Dreiser!"
……
As a well-known "genius" in the viscount war, Gray has not been missed, and Gray has also responded politely to the greetings of these people.
On such occasions, what kind of speech and demeanor should be used, the Fergus family has hired etiquette teachers to train, and although Gray is not very proficient, he is still well-behaved.
As time passed, more and more noble families arrived, the Bessemat family, the Shelly family, the Ford family...... Noble families arrived, the men wore dresses, showing their temperament, and the women wore long skirts, beautiful and elegant.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall became extremely warm, and at this moment, a group of five people walked into the banquet hall and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the banquet hall.
There are five people in front of two and three behind, and in front are a man and a woman.
The man was dressed in a yellow dress, with blonde hair, a little wrinkles on his face, and an elegant aura on his whole body. Sidney.
The woman has long black hair, wears a long black dress, and wears a huge jewel necklace around her neck, graceful and luxurious.
Although it is well maintained, it is not difficult to see from some subtleties that she is not young, and it is none other than the Marquise Madame Giortina.
And the three people behind them, two men and one woman, were all very young.
On the left, the oldest young man in a white gown, handsome and handsome, is none other than the marquis's eldest son, Saroyan.
In the middle, a young man about 20 years old, wearing a beige dress, is equally handsome, but this handsomeness has a little bit of rebelliousness different from the former, it is the second son of the Marquis, Manel.
On the right, a girl about 17 years old, wearing a blue and white dress, with blonde hair tied behind her head, and a beautiful face, is the Marquis's daughter Polly.
"This is the Marquis of Sidney?"
Gray looked at the Marquis of Sidney with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Originally, he thought that this nobleman who was in charge of such a powerful person should be full of majesty without anger and self-authority, and his words and deeds were full of heavy majesty.
But in fact, on the contrary, there is no majesty on the other party, only an elegant temperament that has been cultivated by books for a long time.
"Marquis ......"
All the noble families stepped forward to greet the Marquis of Sidney, and the Marquis of Sidney nodded in response.
When it was the turn of the Fergus family, the Marquis of Sidney's gaze swept over the Fergus family, and finally fell on Gray, who asked.
"This is Gray?"
"Yes, Lord Marquis, this is Gray."
Viscount Fergus hurriedly said.
"I've seen the Marquis......"
Gray bowed as well.
"Yes, at such a young age, he is already a mid-rank blood warrior!"
The Marquis of Sidney smiled slightly, with a slight approval on his face.
"The Marquis is overrated......"
Receiving the approval of the Marquis of Sidney, Viscount Fergus was even happier than Gray, and said with a smile on his face.
After saying hello, everyone in the Fergus family retired and sat down at a table to rest for a while.
"Brother, the Marquis just praised you!"
Sarah looked at Gray in surprise.
Gray smiled, he didn't take the Marquis of Sidney's praise too seriously.
If you really think that you are highly valued by the Marquis of Sidney because of a compliment, then you are really too self-righteous.
A mid-rank blood warrior under the age of 17 is extremely outstanding among the Viscount family, but in the Marquis family, it is the same thing.
The Marquis's eldest son, Upper Saloyan, became a median blood warrior at the age of 16, and when he was 17 years old, he was already a high-ranking blood warrior, and Gray became a median blood warrior before the age of 17.
Because he was still underage, Gray couldn't drink for the time being, so he picked up a glass of fruit and took a sip, and his mouth was immediately full of sweet and sour.
I took a piece of fluffy pastry with a silver fork, and when I took a bite, my eyes lit up.
The sweets are filled with a sweet sauce made of cream, and when you bite into it, you will have a creamy aroma and just the right amount of sweetness.
Obviously, both the juice and the pastry are carefully made by the castle chef.
"This man ......"
While eating the food of Sidney Castle, Gray looked around the banquet hall and soon his eyes fell on a man.
This is a man with slightly mottled hair and a rather old face, who should be at least in his early 50s.
His gaze fell on the man because he was alone at a table, and there was no companion beside him.
This is very rare in this banquet hall, after all, the people who participated in the banquet were all aristocratic families, and in a family, there was naturally more than one person, and it was the first time he had seen a man alone.
Shaking his head, Gray prepared to look away.
Although the identity of this man did make him a little curious, he was not going to keep staring at the other party, but just as he was about to look away, he saw a figure walking towards the table where this man was.
The figure was wearing a blue and white dress, tall and slender, with blonde hair tied behind her head, and it was the Marquis's daughter Polly.
I saw her walk to the table, greet the man, and sit down next to the man.
Because of the distance and the noisy banquet hall, Gray didn't hear what she called a man, but from the look on her face, he could clearly feel her respect for men.
"A man who can make the marquis's daughter treat him with respect......"
Gray couldn't help but become more and more curious about the man's identity.
"Alone, and able to be treated with respect by the Marquis's daughter, um-"
Suddenly, Gray's thoughts froze, because at that moment, the man suddenly turned his head and looked at him.
There is a languid face, but the eyes are extremely sharp.
Being stared at by the other party, Gray felt as if he was being targeted by a blood beast, and he actually had a chilling feeling.
