There are actually two gorgeous magic caravans prepared in the Marquis's Palace.

Marquis Luthor and Lady Marianne sat in the front caravan, while Surdak and Hathaway and Beatrice rode in the magic caravan in the back, the long skirt of this dress was very troublesome, and Hathaway and Beatrice sat motionless like puppets on the sofa to avoid the long skirt being pressed out of the folds.

On the contrary, Surdak and Thea, who sat opposite, were more relaxed, and Thea even picked up the cream cake prepared in the carriage and ate two pieces.

Surdak guessed that the cake was eaten by the two Hathaway and Beatrice on their way back from the ball.

Two magic caravans drove out of the Marquis's Palace, one after the other.

The Marquis of Luther's Mansion is located in the aristocratic quarter of the city, not far from the castle of Duke Newman, and there is no traffic jam on the road, but I saw other nobles also riding in horse-drawn carriages in the direction of the castle.

The magic caravan stopped on a street outside the Duke's Palace, and the traffic began to line up, and the carriage was moving slowly.

When he arrived at the gate of the castle, Surdak found through the glass window that there were ten magic caravans parked in the square outside the castle at the same time, and then the nobles got out of the car, but even so, it still caused a road jam.

Almost all the nobles who rode in the carriage were dressed in full costumes, and the square in the courtyard in front of the Duke's Palace was almost crowded with magic caravans, and the magic caravans behind could only stop and go.

The magic caravan of the Marquis de Luther's palace was parked at the main entrance of the castle, and the Marquis of Luther and Madame Marianne walked down from the carriage holding hands.

Surdak, Hathaway, and Beatrice then stepped down from the magic caravan behind them, and the group walked towards the main entrance of the castle.

In order to show the importance of the Duke's palace to this ball, the younger generation of the Newman family all stood in the greeting procession at the door, and Surdak saw Edie in the crowd at a glance.

I saw Edie standing in the second row of the greeting line, and the first in the first row was a middle-aged nobleman about the same age as the Marquis of Luthor.

When the middle-aged nobleman saw the Marquis of Luther, he immediately greeted him warmly, and the two of them laughed casually, and then the middle-aged nobleman asked Edie and the other two young men around him to salute the Marquis Luther.

"That is the Marquis of Lucien, the first in line to the Newman family, and he is also the father of Brewer, Edie, and Eustace."

Beatrice took Surdak's arm and whispered as she put her lips to Surdak's ear.

Marquis Luthor also turned around at this time and called Hathaway and Surdak to the front.

Beatrice quickly let go of her hand and grabbed Thea, leaving only Hathaway and Surdak to the front.

The Marquis of Lucien, though well maintained, still had some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and he wore a gown covered with golden dark lines, with a majesty of a superior between his eyebrows, and his amber eyes stared at Hathaway's face, and after a moment of scrutiny, he said with a smile:

"Hathaway, you are getting more and more beautiful, I wanted Luthor to choose one of my three sons, but although he was very optimistic about Eustace, he was unwilling to marry you into the Newman family."

The young people of the Newman family around him seemed to have become his foil at this moment.

Marquis Lucien's gaze fell on Surdak, the kind of coercion brought by the superior, the sharp eyes seemed to be able to shine into Surdak's spiritual consciousness sea, as if he was attacked by an external force, the divine armor suit on the door in the center of the spiritual consciousness sea suddenly emitted a golden light, and actually forced the powerful spiritual coercion of Marquis Lucien out of Surdak's spiritual consciousness sea.

Marquis Lucien's eyes froze, and then a friendly smile appeared on his face, and he said:

"You are Surdak, I know you, the Gampoo plane has commanded this war very well, and I am also a little jealous of Luther's eyes now, I heard that you and Hathaway are about to have a wedding, congratulations in advance."

He reached out and patted Surdak on the shoulder, and then said to a rather honest-looking young man beside him:

"Eustace, you have come to entertain Uncle Luthor and Aunt Marianne, and invite them to rest in the guest room."

Surdak looked at Eustace, a young man with thick lips, who was also very strong, with arms a little longer than usual, wide and thick hands, palms covered with calluses sharpened by holding the sword, and a broad-bladed sword hanging from his waist.

Eustace and Marquis Luthor chatted as they walked, and he always peeked at Hathaway when Marquis Luthor wasn't looking.

Hathaway held Surdak tightly, seemingly reluctant to speak to Eustace.

Beatrice stood with Thea at this time, quietly following behind.

The ball was held in the back garden of the castle, where hundreds of magic lamps were lit around it, and at the corner of the square was a band on a half-meter-high circular platform, leaning against a flared wall, sitting in a staggered manner, from which soothing music came from.

There were already a lot of people gathered in the square, but the Marquis Luthor didn't seem to stop in the square, but followed Eustace through the back garden square and into the building behind the castle.

As they walked through the inner courtyard, Surdak and Hathaway saw Cole and Grant, a group of young nobles, standing under a laurel tree in the inner courtyard with wine glasses in their hands.

They all saluted when they saw the Marquis Luther, who nodded slightly and walked over with Lady Marianne.

Hathaway took Surdak by the arm and walked past the group of young men, following behind the Marquis of Luther.

A group of young aristocrats looked at Grant with some surprise, and then everyone realized that when Edie spoke disrespectfully to Hathaway last night, the man next to him was obviously not the so-called lover in Edie's mouth, and it was likely to be Hathaway's official fiancé.

Cole. Norton also asked with a look of surprise, "Grant, who is the groom's name written on Hathaway's wedding invitation?" ”

The light-yellow-haired Grant was also trying to remember, and said casually: "It only has his name written on it, not even a surname...... What's it called? ”

The attendant next to him leaned over to Grant and whispered a few words.

"Yes, it's 'Count Surdak, Archon of Ruyt', this is the first time I've seen a nobleman without a surname." Grant complained to everyone, "Edie just met the Archon of Ruit City the day before yesterday, and it is said that he is an old man with completely gray hair. ”

Cole. Norton's face was a little ugly, and he said with a wry smile:

"Grant, Edie must have made a mistake somewhere, the knight's name that Hathaway just held was Surdak, he was not an old man, as for his lack of a surname, it was because he was originally just a knight without a surname in the city of Highlandza, and it was the Marquis of Luthor who wrote a joint letter of recommendation to Charles the Great, and he was fortunate to become a noble baron."

"The wedding invitation clearly says Count Surdak, but he is clearly a viscount......," another young nobleman in the crowd stood up and said, "And how could the Archon of Ruyt be a viscount?" I'm also present when Edie and Marquis Lucien met with the Archon of Ruyt the day before yesterday, how can he be the Archon of Ruyt? ”

"Go and see the list of young nobles for this ceremony......" a young nobleman immediately shouted.

The list was on the sign at the entrance to the garden, and the group of young people ran out of the inner courtyard garden as fast as possible, greeting them with several nobles along the way, but they didn't have time to respond.

When everyone ran to the entrance of the garden out of breath, they finally saw the whiteboard sign in the crowd.

Surdak's name is in the last place, and after the merit value, there is a suffix: 'Please salute Viscount Surdak, the commander of the Bena Alliance: Reclaim the Gampoo Plane and clear the demon army. ’

Of the twelve young counts who were honoured, only Surdak had this striking suffix.

In other words, Surdak did not rely on the Black Demon Crystal to promote the title, but purely to sweep the military merits obtained by sweeping the demon army.

A group of young aristocrats stood in front of the notice board with some discouragement, and someone said:

"He's really in there......"

The young nobleman, who had just given Edie's name, asked, "What about the Archon Ruyt?" ”

"Don't you know that after the victory of the Battle of Tarapakang commanded by the Marquis of Luthor, the city of Ruyt became the spoils of the Marquis of Luther......"

Grant said with a wry smile.

There was silence all around, and all the young nobles turned their eyes to Cole, who had a bitter face. In Norton, some people even bluntly said:

"Cole, it turns out that your rival is a plane lord......"

Cole's face turned pale, and his body couldn't help but shake a little.

An archon or an earl, Cole. Norton may not be able to ignore it, but holding a plane in his hand means that Surdak has a huge resource in his hands, and this kind of noble lord usually has a large lord army in his hands.

So far, the Norton family has only occupied some territory in several planes, and has not completely controlled one plane.

Surdak now holds the Gampoo plane, and has the support of the Marquis of Luthor behind him......

In this case, it is difficult not to develop and grow, because it is the entire plane that is pushing him forward......

……

The ball party finally kicked off when it was completely dark.

The Marquis of Luthor was also invited out by the chamberlain in the castle room, and he and the marquis of Bednar stood in the VIP area of the back garden, while the Marquis of Lucien of the Duke's Palace stood on the half-meter high platform where the band was located, holding a wine glass in his hand, signaling that the music could stop for a while.

Surdak slipped out of the room early with Hathaway and Beatrice, and walked around the gardens of the Duke's Palace before coming to the square.

The Marquis of Lucien stood in front of the stage, and the noise below immediately became quiet.

Several magic lampposts shot into the sky from behind Marquis Lucien, making the platform he was on particularly bright.

At least a few hundred nobles gathered in the square, mostly young people attending the ball.

"Dear friends and relatives, welcome to the Eve Ball at Duke Newman's Palace, and on behalf of my father, Lord Duke Newman, I congratulate the twelve young men who have received this honor, and you are able to stand out among the countless young and promising nobles in the province of Bena, which is enough to prove how good (rich) you are (rich)......"

After a lengthy speech, the Marquis de Lucien finally took Madame by the hand and stepped onto the square dance floor in full view of everyone.

Then there were other marquises who took the Madame by the hand and lined up in a neat row on the dance floor, and a group of big men led the ladies to the first dance......

When the band had finished the music, the beat-beating musicians put down their instruments, raised their hands and clapped them together, and then the young people led their partners onto the dance floor, men and women lined up in a neat row.

This ballroom dance is neat and cheerful, with the only drawback being that it is very space-consuming.

It's no wonder that the Duke of Newman's Court set up the ball in the back garden, where only the square space was sufficient.

Surdak danced two in one go, and then looked at Seaa with her skirt and looked at herself, her big blue eyes filled with words, 'I'm a Naga mermaid and it's the first time I've danced this kind of cheerful dance, can you please ask me to dance a ......?' ’

Surdak hurriedly walked over and stretched out his hand to invite her.

With a sweet smile on her face, Thea stepped forward happily......

As it turns out, the Cana merfolk have an amazing talent for dancing, and Thea is like a sunflower that spins and blooms in the palm of Surdak's hand.

attracted the attention of many young nobles at the ball.

But then Thea ran back behind Hathaway and Beatrice, and stood with their two maids.

Surdak also took good care of Thea, pulling Hathaway and Beatrice to chat next to the pool, so that Thea could control the flow of water by the pool to nourish herself.

As one of the twelve young counts, Surdak was also in the spotlight at the ball, and many nobles and celebrities tried to come over and strike up a conversation.

Surdak didn't want to spend any energy dealing with these noble ladies, so he walked around the buffet area with a plate in his hand, and came back with a plate full of food.

In this way, he stood in front of Hathaway and Beatrice, and since he had been eating, the noble ladies always had to be reserved and wait for Surdak to finish the food on their plates......

But it seems that Surdak never runs out of food on that silver platter, and Surdak thinks that this is the best way to refuse to invite others to dance.

The city of Bena is particularly beautiful at night, with a crescent moon in the night sky, a cool breeze blowing, and Hathaway leaning back on a gazebo bench by the pool.

The group chatted together, and Thea talked about the great battle in the town of Samp on the surface of the Gamp, where twenty catapults threw flint day and night, destroying the thin walls of Samp Town in just five days, and the clear and beautiful Bellano Mahu, who invited Hathaway and Beatrice to swim in the lake......

Many of the noble ladies heard that Surdak was the actual controller of the Ganbu plane, and they all wanted to get to know Surdak.

But I couldn't find any good opportunities all night......
