Seeing Hathaway and her sister walking into the ballroom, Harvey. Baron Gophilo subconsciously shrank his body.

He was chatting with the two aristocratic ladies with a wine glass, expecting to make a good impression in their hearts, but now he lost that interest at all, drank the wine in the glass, and found an excuse to get rid of the two aristocratic ladies.

Surdak, who disgusted him, walked to the front of the table, picked up two glasses of golden cider, brought them to his sister Beatrice and Hathaway, and whispered to them with a sneer, and Harvey was eager to rush up and slap him twice in front of Hathaway, causing him to lose face.

However, when he heard that he was a knight in the guard battalion, he touched the saber at his waist, and Harvey retracted his foot after only one step.

I still remember when I was a child, I used to follow the two of them behind their skirts and run around the yard.

Later, the relationship between the Luthor family and the Gophilo family did not know when it became stiff, and the two families no longer had the same intimate relationship as before, and Harvey could no longer get close to Hathaway, but her sister Beatrice has always been Hathaway's best friend, and she has never changed since she was a child......

Now that the family is in an embarrassment, especially the current predicament caused by himself, Harvey does not have the courage to appear in front of Hathaway.

He sat down in a corner and secretly stared at the blonde Hathaway talking to the other nobles and ladies in the banquet hall, her lips like the most delicate red roses, her eyes like the most magnificent emeralds, her smile so charming.

But the Baron Surdak left the two of them behind and was in the banquet hall to greet the other nobles, who seemed to know Ned in the guard camp of Bednar City. Baron Morse, Baron Morse took him to meet other young nobles.

Harvey. Gophilo stared at Surdak, who was surrounded by a group of young nobles, and it seemed that the nobles of Bena City had accepted this country bun that did not even have a surname, and he looked up and drank the wine from his glass.

He listened to what Count Gophilo told him.

He didn't even want to go up and say a few words to Surdak, and when he saw that disgusting face, he wanted to vomit.

Surdak's face was not ugly, but every time he saw this handsome face full of sunshine, Hathaway's bright smile on that face would come to mind, and those blue eyes should have belonged to him, but now ...... Later...... Maybe it will become more blurry in front of him, and he doesn't even dare to think about it......

He felt like a coward.

Baron Harvey asked himself: 'Am I an idiot?' Am I a coward? ’

'No, I'm not! I want to be a warrior who fights for love! ’

He replied firmly, feeling the saber at his waist, clenching the hilt of the sword that had been swallowed under his forehead, and taking two steps before stopping.

Now he can't even get a gold coin out of his pocket, and he owes another fart. shares of huge debt,

If he had made a big fuss at the Earl's ball, perhaps no one would have invited him to such a ball.

It occurred to him that a friend had given him the idea to marry the daughters of two wealthy merchants in Bena City, and use their dowries to pay off his debts.

At that time, the discussion was not over, and he was righteously rejected.

What a big joke, when did the heir of the Gophilo family become so down, he was not willing to sacrifice his happiness for that little ridiculous money, and now that he thought about it, it did not seem impossible......

He is ready to fight, and maybe he can marry the daughter of the earl's family.

But he wanted to get Hathaway more, looking at Marquis Luthor's generosity, he felt that if Surdak was replaced by himself, with the support of Marquis Luther, he could accumulate military merits in a few years, promote himself to a marquis, and restore the glory of the family.

Why should all good things belong to Surdak's?

It seemed that he was not the only one who had an opinion about Surdak at this ball, and he saw that another young man was chatting with several young ladies of the aristocratic family while paying attention to Surdak's movements from time to time, and constantly looking at Hathaway and his sister Beatrice, and his green eyes revealed a hidden obsession.

Harvey knew the young nobleman, but they didn't usually cross paths, and their friends were not in the same circle.

That's Luke, the son of the Newman family, one of Duke Newman's many sons, I heard that he also likes Hathaway, but he is much younger than Hathaway, and has always been treated as a little kid by Hathaway, who cares what a little kid says?

Although Harvey didn't like him as much, he hesitated for a moment before deciding to walk over with his glass......

……

Right here at Harvey. Gophilo towards Luke. As Newman walked over, Hathaway and Beatrice also noticed Harvey. Gopphil, Hathaway poked his best friend next to him and asked in a low voice, "Beatrice, where is your brother over there...... Shall we go up and say hello? ”

With that, her gaze fell behind Harvey.

Beatrice followed Hathaway's gaze and saw Harvey walking towards Luke. Newman, with some doubts, said, "Didn't he and Luke look at each other unpleasantly?" When did you get together? Then he said, "Forget it, I don't want to hear anything about the family from his mouth, and every time it is those words, as if selling me will revive the family, and he has never thought about how he can revive the Gophilo family with his hands and mind." ”

Hathaway smiled lightly and said, "Maybe he's done his best!" ”

Beatrice, who had a round face, smiled a little reluctantly and shot back at his best friend, "Don't you want to talk to him?" Every time he sees you, his eyes barely roll. ”

"I've heard he's been in some trouble lately." Hathaway avoided answering Beatrice's question.

"I owe a lot of money, but I don't have the money to help him." Beatrice pouted, she still had a lot of complaints about the family.

Surdak walked around with his glass in hand, and finally turned around to find Hathaway and Beatrice next to the dance floor.

They rejected the two young nobles who had come up to talk to each other, and Surdak came up and asked, "What are you two talking about?" ”

Hathaway laughed, "We're talking about when you'll be able to take us to Wall Village." ”

Surdak thought for a moment, but he couldn't keep the summons all the time and accompany Hathaway and Beatrice back to the city of Highlandsa.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'm sorry! I'm afraid I won't be able to travel with you this time, and I may have to go to Constantinople to deal with some things. ”

Hathaway and Beatrice stared at him with disgruntled expressions of loss in their eyes.

Surdak hurriedly said, "But you can take the magic airship to Hylanza City a few days later, and we will meet in Hylanza!" ”

"That's a good idea." Beatrice's eyes lit up and she said.

Surdak took Beatrice's hands with both hands, looked at her maroon eyes and said, "Before that, I would like to see Count Gophilo once, and I hope he will agree to my proposal to his daughter. ”

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't agree...... Beatrice says firmly.

Surdak smiled and said, "Maybe he's willing to change his mind this time." ”

Surdak had always thought this kind of ball was boring, but fortunately Hathaway and Beatrice were with him, and he took a few turns on the dance floor to find that the ball was almost coming to an end, and he tried to get to know the young nobles, but after announcing his name, many of the nobles looked down on Surdak a little, and they had an unconcealed arrogance in their eyes.

However, because of the Marquis of Luther, these young nobles and Surdak were able to chat a few words, and even if they didn't have the opportunity to talk, they would stand in the outer circle and smile at Surdak, which was a formal greeting.

Surdak didn't care about the people's gazes, and waited until the ball was over before taking Hathaway and Beatrice by the hand and boarding the magic caravan of the Marquis of Luther's mansion.
