There were not many nobles who participated in the Midsummer Festival, and many of them were lords of remote fiefdoms in the Bird family's territory, and Yulian was the unlucky "substitute for the dead" Different, the reason why these people can get into the position of the lord is obviously not because they want to be killed, and in fact, although these nobles are just a branch of the Bird family, they all enjoy a considerable say in the family, they are also the core figures of the Bird family, and for those small nobles who can't get out of the family, the annual midsummer festival has become the best time for them to win over these divided nobles, as the saying goes, rather [***] Although the status of many small nobles in their families is not high, once they leave here, they can still obtain relatively rich interests and status in remote areas. And this is also a good time for the nobles to get emotional.

But today, their attention was entirely focused on the four outsiders.

When Ofaril and the other four entered the hall, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Offariel was wearing a simple dress that was not gorgeous, it could even be said that it was simple, white, elegant dress showing her delicate and graceful body, a shawl made the girl a little more elegant charm, under the background of long violet hair, over the elbows, the slender arms wrapped in gold-rimmed gloves made people's hearts move, the small nose and pale cherry lips were enough to fascinate any man- But before that, the majesty displayed in those blue, deep eyes was enough to make everyone stop their steps under its gaze, which was a kind of gaze of the superior looking at the inferior, containing confidence, self-esteem and self-discipline. The mere staring at it made many of the nobles present bow their heads to make sure they hadn't made any rude moves.

And the long violet hair naturally became the focus of everyone's attention, and in the sunlight, shimmering hazy, beautiful and radiant hair was enough to dispel anyone's suspicions. As for those nobles who have known about this matter for a long time within the Bird family, they have completely dispelled their doubts and concerns at this moment, this is definitely the most orthodox "violet flower" color, and it is absolutely impossible to be fake.

Although Ofaril attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared, it did not mean that the rest of them would be dimmed by her light. Charlotte followed O'Faryl's side with a sweet smile as always, as if the moon reflected the master she served, of course, Charlotte's "body" came from a noble family, and her appearance was naturally sweet, but this was still much worse than O'Fariel. But Charlotte made up for this shortcoming with her own unique momentum, she just followed O'Faryl's side so quietly, and her unique presence was already highlighted, as if she was born to be a part of this hostess, and she would never be separated at any time, giving people a sense of course, but not feeling strange.

As for Messiah and Semia, there is no need to say much, not to mention their cute and innocent appearances, just the unique outfits of these sisters are enough to occupy a place among them.

Who are they?

Offariel, Charlotte, Messiah and Semia were rare and beautiful female surnames, which immediately aroused the interest of all the nobles present, knowing that the topics of conversation among nobles could never be separated from wealth, power and women. And they clearly remembered that in the Bird family, it seemed that they had never heard any rumors about these four young ladies, which was obviously a very surprising thing.

The atmosphere in the hall became delicate for a while, and the young nobles inquired about the origin of these four people, while the nobles who were older, senior, and prestigious, frowned, thinking carefully about the power represented by these four people. They saw very clearly that this group of four people was personally greeted by Viscount Juventus, and although Viscount Juventus did not have a high status in the family, he was the most trusted confidant of the old patriarch, to some extent, the titles of these nobles may be higher than Viscount Juventus, but in terms of influence in the Bird family, they are not as good as this young viscount. In fact, in the summer festival held by the Bird family, there are few characters who are personally greeted by the Viscount of Juventus.

Is it because the other party is a member of the royal family?

Many people had similar thoughts, but they quickly denied their speculation, with their experience, these nobles could see that the Viscount of Juventus was not ordinary in the face of these four young girls, it was not the courtesy of young men for beautiful female surnames, nor the respect of nobles for the royal family, if there was one word to describe it, then it was......... That's right, intimacy, as if in front of him, it was not a member of the royal family, but his "companions".

What's going on here?

Generally speaking, even if the aristocracy is disgusted, they will have the lowest respect for the royal family because of their status, and even the princely faction has its own bottom limit, after all, the aristocracy is a nobleman, not a royal family, and they must not only ensure the interests of the whole country, but also the interests of their own family. Therefore, the average nobleman will not get too close to the royal family when facing it, so as not to be regarded as a "traitor" to the royal family by members of his own family. And as the confidant of the old patriarch, Viscount Juventus should naturally understand this, he should know that with his own identity and status, it is obviously inappropriate to show such courtesy to the royal family, isn't he afraid that the old patriarch will be angry?

"Please come this way, guys. ”

Juventus stretched out his hand to invite O'Faril and the other four into the hall, and smiled inwardly, in fact, after feeling the suspicious gaze of those nobles on him, he naturally understood what these nobles were thinking. However, this did not shake Juve's mind, in fact, the moment he wrote to report to the old patriarch, Juventus already knew that if there was no definite actual evidence to prove his point, then he would also be regarded as a traitor by the people in the family, so as long as these four young ladies appeared here, it was enough to prove the accuracy of their report. After all, Juventus had already reported to the family that they could not refuse the young lord's request, and the existence of O'Faryl and the others was the basis for Viscount Juventus to make this judgment. From this point of view, O'Faryl and others can indeed be regarded as "comrades-in-arms" standing on the same front of Juventus in a sense.

Thinking of this, Juventus moved slightly closer to O'Faryl and whispered at a delicate distance.

"I think you should understand the purpose of this invitation. ”

"Of course, Mr. Viscount Juventus. ”

Offariel stared ahead without squinting, while answering Juventus' questions in a low voice. This gave Juventus a wry smile, and he shook his head helplessly, then shrugged his shoulders.

"Frankly, emotionally, I really don't want to accept the lord's offer, but I don't have a choice right now......... Do you see what I mean?"

"Personally, I think you have made a very wise decision, Mr. Viscount Juventus. ”

Hearing this, O'Faril stopped, smiled at Juventus, and then gestured to him.

"Well, then, we'll get here, Mr. Viscount Juventus, and take care of yourself. ”

"Yes, Miss O'Faryl. ”

Hearing this, Juventus understood that there was nothing left of his own, so he owed O'Faryl slightly, and then glanced at the twin sisters who were standing behind her, chuckling and whispering to each other at the moment, with an uneasy face. Although Juventus has not really been in contact with the twin sisters, the unique and strange way of speaking of the two, as well as the powerful power they showed in the martial arts training field, have made the Viscount of Juventus deeply in his memory, and the grace is above, I hope that no nobleman here will be stupid enough to provoke this pair of little devils.

Juventus wanted to remind him of this, but the words turned around in his mouth, and in the end he could only swallow it back helplessly, after all, with his identity, he was not qualified to ask for the two "self-respect", so in the end, Juventus could only owe a little, and then quit and left.

Seeing Juventus leaving, the nobles who had been paying attention nearby immediately surrounded him, trying to get some news from the viscount's mouth, but Juventus obviously ignored their meaning, and after ignoring the cold noise and inquiries of those nobles, he turned around and came to the back hall, where the old patriarch was waiting for his arrival.

"Are our guests already here?"

"Yes, Patriarch. ”

Hearing the old patriarch's inquiry, Juventus hurriedly lowered his head.

"Our guests have arrived. ”

Hearing Juve's answer, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at his subordinates with a hint of doubt.

"Listening to your tone, it seems that you are very happy about the arrival of these guests?"

"I don't think so. ”

Hearing this, Juventus gasped and hurriedly replied.

"However, I think the patriarch should have made a wise judgment after seeing them in person. ”

"Wise judgment. ”

The corners of the old patriarch's mouth curled slightly, with a hint of mockery.

"It seems that you are very confident in your judgment. ”

"I know it's not in my position to say that, but only this time......... Patriarch, I have no doubts about my own judgment, and we have no means to refuse or delay the lord's request. ”

As he spoke, Juventus raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him with a determined gaze, and then he turned sideways and made a gesture. The old man pondered for a moment, then walked to the window, where he took a deep breath, then raised his head and looked out the window. Soon, the old man saw the four people standing in the corner. This is not only because they are too conspicuous, but also because of Ofaril's aura, the nobles have subconsciously stayed away from them, and at this moment she is standing next to the wall with her eyes closed, her hands in front of her, showing a momentum that no one can approach. The twin sisters still whispered and laughed in the back as if they didn't feel the cold breath emanating from O'Faryl, while Charlotte still stood quietly by O'Faryl's side, playing the role of her maid.

However, when the old patriarch's gaze moved to Ofariel's, his eyes widened in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"How............... Probably ............!!"

"Patriarch?"

Hearing the old patriarch's trembling voice, Juventus raised his head in surprise, only to see that the old patriarch's face was pale at the moment, his lips trembled, and his hands were clenched into fists, which made Juventus very surprised, since he followed the old patriarch, he had never seen this old man so out of shape, what did he see that made him so nervous?!

"Her Royal Highness Princess O'Faryl......!?"

The old man shouted in a tone of almost disbelief, and then, his body shook, staggered back several steps, leaned against the wall and gasped loudly, at this moment his face was pale, and the whole person broke out in a cold sweat, this is not just surprise, Juventus even saw a trace of fear from it?!

Fear?

"Patriarch, what are you ...............?"

"What's that young lady's name!?"

Just as Juventus hesitated to ask, the old patriarch suddenly interrupted him.

"This ..............."

Hearing the old patriarch's inquiry, Juventus was stunned for a moment, and then he carefully recalled for a moment before replying.

"That young lady's name is O'Faryl West, that's right........." Juventus was also stunned when he said this, he looked at the old man curiously, and seemed to notice something. Just now, the old patriarch called this young girl "Your Royal Highness Princess?" However, all the nobles in the kingdom knew that West V had no heirs so far, let alone any princess............... Thinking of this, Juve's complexion also changed suddenly. No wonder he felt so familiar with the name when he heard O'Faryl introduce herself, but he didn't expect it to be her?

This is too much of a coincidence!

"What is the origin of that young lady?!How did she end up in the Twilight Forest??What is her relationship with that young man?!"

And Juventus had not had time to recover from this shocking news, and immediately heard a series of questions from the old patriarch. But even if he asked himself, he didn't have answers? In fact, all along, the Bird family had only been investigating the young lord, and as for the royal family member beside him, everyone subconsciously thought that it must be from the royal family, so there was no need to investigate her origin. But Juventus didn't expect that this royal family member would have a name that people can't ignore.

"I don't know where she came from, Patriarch. ”

Although the old patriarch's question was very urgent, Juventus quickly calmed down and replied, after all, when he was born, Ofariel was already dead, so for this viscount, the royal girl in front of him just had the same name, which was not a particularly worthy consideration and attention for him.

"However, from what I've observed, she has a very close relationship with the young lord, and judging by the fact that Mr. Yuren was able to authorize her to handle the territory, the relationship between them is probably not your average master-slave relationship...............

Juve's answer can be said to be cautious and wise, but the old patriarch did not listen to it at all, unlike Juve, he was an old man who lived in that era, and as a great nobleman, he had witnessed the glory of the royal family known as the "Violet Flower" countless times, and he had hoped that Her Royal Highness the princess would lead the country to a more brilliant future. However, in the end, all their wishes were frustrated......... But now, this fact is completely unbelievable. Juventus hadn't seen it, so it wasn't surprising, but for the old patriarch, it was impossible for him to forget the long violet hair that sparkled with color, and the beautiful princess, and her majesty and majesty as a royal family - it was not just imitation that could be imitated!

Holy grace is above, what is going on? Is this young lady really the violet flower? She is here for ............ Thinking of this, the old man's face suddenly changed slightly, he retracted his gaze, and let out a long sigh, at this moment, he seemed to have aged ten years.

"Juve. ”

"Yes, Patriarch, what's the matter?"

"This time, I will leave the negotiation issue about the Twilight Forest territory to you with full authority, and no matter what they ask, I will agree to it all!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Juve's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't expect that he would get such an answer. In his opinion, the old patriarch's surname was very stubborn, and even if he had his own explanation, he would not make a decision easily if he did not confirm it with his own eyes. It was precisely because of this that he would write a letter to invite You Lian and the others to participate in the Midsummer Festival, but now, those young ladies were just standing there, and they didn't show any strength at all?

"Patriarch, you really don't need to think about it anymore........."

Although things are going in the direction he expected, and it should be a good thing to wash away the suspicion of "selling the clan", Juventus is a little confused, after all, the current actions of the old patriarch are a little too abnormal.

"No need. ”

However, this time, the old patriarch replied very firmly.

"Remember, I agree that you will meet all their demands, whatever they may be, and if anyone wishes to doubt it, let him come to me!, and I command you to go and warn those unlearned fellows now, and if any of them dares to disturb the young lady, I will cast them out of the house!"

"Yes, Patriarch, I'll do it right away. ”

Hearing this, although Juventus still had some doubts in his heart, he still left in a hurry after saluting. The old patriarch looked at his back, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Perhaps, this is my atonement........."

Then, he said to himself.
