On the street, Sophia held a bag of fifty gold coins in both hands, and followed Kaye as fast as she could. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Kaye returned from the palace, he called Sophia to buy a dress in the downtown area because Kaye wanted Sophia to be his dance partner and go to the royal dance party.

The girl's heart was a little happy, even a little happy. Kaye could have had the beautiful black-haired witch as his dance partner, but he called himself.

Wait, doesn't that black-haired witch want to go to the ball?

The witch Jelina was the one who healed herself, and she hadn't even thanked her, but she was glad that Kaye had called her to the ball instead of her.

A voice in my heart was scolding me.

Kaye had said that Jelina had gone to live in the Magic Tower, but it had been a few days, and she hadn't even come back to see it.

I can only think of one reason, and it's because the black-haired witch doesn't like Sophia.

Sophia looked at Kaye with her hands in her trouser pockets and sighed.

Trotting forward to walk side by side with Kaye, Sophia hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Mr. Kaye, you don't hate me, do you?" ”

The blonde girl's face flushed slightly.

Kaye stopped his tracks.

"Of course I don't hate you. ”

Under the sunshine, the boy's smile was so dazzling.

Outside the hall of the palace, the knights of the "Knights of the Palace", who were in charge of guarding the door, saluted the nobles who walked into the hall from time to time.

The captain of the guard, who led the guards, was very serious about leading his guards to patrol around.

This is a ball held by the royal family, and the people who can come to participate are all high-ranking nobles with a certain status, and the most important thing is that the organizer is His Majesty the King, and there can be no carelessness.

The guards were patrolling, and the same knights of the Palace Knights were seriously patrolling.

Kaye had grown accustomed to the life of a commoner during his days as a mercenary, and if he had been alone to the ball, Kaye would have walked to the palace. But since Sophia was invited, the necessary decency was still a must.

Spent two gold coins to hire the coachman of the carriage, and let the coachman of the carriage drive his carriage to carry Sophia and Kaye to the palace.

There were many luxurious carriages parked in the palace, and next to each carriage was a nobleman's private groom looking after the carriage.

Stepping out of the carriage from the driver's seat, Kaye came to the back compartment, lifted the curtain of the carriage, stretched out his hand and took Sophia's white little hand, and let Sophia get out of the carriage. Kaye was dressed in a well-fitting gown, shiny leather shoes, and her blonde hair was neatly combed.

As a dance partner, Sophia wore a well-fitting blue off-the-shoulder low-cut dress. His long blonde hair was neatly combed, and he wore a pair of black leather shoes.

In order not to be rude before coming, Sophia looked in the mirror repeatedly and made sure that there was no problem with her appearance before relieving herself.

Since he came to the ball as Kaye's dance partner, he couldn't make a mistake and trouble Kaye.

The coachman who had been hired for two gold coins was too shabby in comparison to the carriages of the nobles who stayed at the palace. Kaye was only a lower-ranking nobleman, and as a knight, he had no fief, and his annual salary was only five hundred gold coins, which was different from the wealthy higher-ranking nobles who owned fiefs.

He walked to the door, took out the invitation card given by the king, and handed it to the knight who was in charge of guarding the door.

"Lord Kaye, please come in. ”

The knight put away the invitation, glanced at Sophia in amazement, and reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Some of the nobles in the hall were drinking, some were talking to each other, and the king, as the host, had not yet arrived, and the atmosphere was quite casual.

The king, as the most honorable royal family, should be the last to arrive.

"Dear Kay, you're here. ”

The man who came over and took the initiative to greet him was Manda Ferra, the secretary of state with neatly combed hair, a nobleman with the title of marquis. Fira was a middle-aged man dressed in expensive clothes, and he had a smile on his face that could not be concealed.

"Praise be to the Great Father, dear Kayqing, your presence has eclipsed the lights. ”

With a smile on his face and a somewhat exaggerated tone, he was a middle-aged man of medium height, the Marquis of Foreign Affairs Gilles Perrin.

Gently shaking the silver cup in his hand, the middle-aged man who stepped forward with a smile on his face, the Secretary of War, Gavin Guise, also had the title of marquis. Gavin first glanced at Sophia curiously, and then his smile became ambiguous.

"Dear Kay Qing, this young lady behind you is the daughter of that nobleman?"

"My dance partner, Miss Sophia, is not an aristocrat. ”

Not nobles, the superior nobles of the three kingdoms couldn't help but be surprised.

As a nobleman, Kaye actually brought women who were not nobles to the royal family's ball. Although she is not an aristocrat, it is undeniable that as a dance partner, Sophia is so beautiful. If he was about ten years younger, the three high-ranking nobles might not be able to resist pursuing Sophia.

"I have received His Majesty's permission before I came, and I can bring my dance partner to the ball. ”

Kaye explained.

"Praise be to God the Father, what a beautiful young lady. ”

Gavin laughed.

"It's a pity, I originally wanted to introduce my daughter to Kai Yiqing, you know. ”

The ball was not only a way to socialize, but also a way for nobles to introduce their sons and daughters to each other.

"Gavinqing, you are really polite, your daughter must have a lot of suitors, I don't want to be called to a duel by jealous suitors. ”

Kaye has not been married to this day, and as a powerful nobleman who is not married and is a hero, there have been many nobles who have introduced their daughters to Kaye. There have also been aristocrats who have even said that their daughters can marry Kaye as a side room.

Marriages between nobles are basically married to each other as a side chamber is very rare, nobles and nobles marry, female nobles can usually only be the main room.

It is common for both capable commoners and nobles to be able to do so, but noble nobles are usually beautiful plebeian girls of low status.

The nobles who were talking to each other suddenly fell silent, and King Ferran, led by the knight captain Victor, was escorted by several knights, and entered the hall.

King Phelan had no side room, and he loved his wife dearly, and he had only one queen, Mary.

All the nobles in the hall, including the maids who stood and waited, bowed their heads and saluted King Ferran.

"Today is a joyful ball, everyone is casual. ”

Phelan arrived with his wife and daughter, and sat down on the sofa that the maid had prepared in advance that only the royal family could sit on. The knights of the Knights of the Royal Palace, standing as straight as statues, stood by and guarded.

Her Royal Highness the Half-Elf Princess frowned, and as far as her eyes could see, Sophia was talking to Kaye.

It's the woman I saw not long ago.

In the hall, the musicians played the music, and the dance began.

Several aristocratic girls dressed in gorgeous makeup and perfume looked at Sophia and compared themselves, giving up on inviting Kaye to dance. The aristocrats had a dance partner to dance with their dance partner, and those who did not have a dance partner invited the noble lady who did not have a dance partner to dance with them.

Sophia blushed and danced with Kaye, perhaps stepping on Kaye's feet from time to time because she was too nervous. Kaye's shiny shoes were marked with footprints, unusually conspicuous.

"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. ”

The blonde girl apologized for her mistake, but at the same time felt ashamed of herself, it was a rather faux pas that she made such a low-level mistake and stepped on her partner's foot while dancing with her partner. I used to be a royal family, and it wasn't the first time I had attended a ball, so it was a shame to make such a mistake.

"Don't be nervous, relax. ”

Kaye comforts Sophia while letting her continue the unfinished dance in her footsteps. Time passed, and as the music ended, the dancing nobles stopped moving.

"I'm sorry, Sophia, you can rest first. ”

In Sophia's complicated gaze, Kaye walked over to the couch where Her Royal Highness the Half-Elf Princess was. With his hand on his chest and a salute to King Phelan, Kaye held out his hand to Ileta.

"Your Royal Highness, beautiful princess, would you have the pleasure of inviting you to dance? ”

Her Royal Highness the Half-Elf Princess's beautiful face flushed slightly, and she stretched out her little white hand to hold Kaye's outstretched hand. The musician blew the music again, and the stopped dance beat again. Ileta blushed and danced with Kaye, both of them moving skillfully, and there was no such awkward thing as who stepped on whom's foot. Her Royal Highness, the half-elf princess who had doubts in her heart, couldn't help but ask the question in her heart.

"I'm curious as to why you called that young lady to be your dance partner. ”

Jelina hated balls when she was a court mage in Thurston, which is why Kaye didn't call Jalina. Of course, in addition to this reason, there is also the idea that Sophia used to be the princess of the royal family, and it is much better to bring her to the ball as a dance partner than to stay at home alone.

"Instead of staying at home and hoping Sophia to come to the prom, I'm relieved as long as she's happy. ”

The blonde boy's answer made Her Royal Highness the half-elf princess frown deeply, and said, "You really care about that young lady. ”

Indeed, Kaye cares a lot about Sophia. Sophia's weak appearance made Kaye can't help but feel pity, as a woman, Sophia is too gentle and too weak, I really can't imagine how such a weak woman got through her days as a mercenary. Mercenaries are a very cruel industry, and because of his rich experience as mercenaries, Kaye is very aware of the cruelty of the mercenary industry.

"The women of the royal family are like caged birds, looking beautiful but not having the freedom they want. ”

Her Royal Highness, the half-elf princess, confided her heart, and Kaye could understand that the royal family, especially women, had to bear responsibilities while enjoying a life of worry-free food and clothing. For example, women in the royal family are basically victims of politics, and they do not have the freedom to choose who they want to marry, and it is the fate of women in the royal family to marry a big nobleman or a king of another country.

"I don't want to marry someone I don't like in the future, can Kay Yiqing understand?"

Ilita lay on Kaye's top of her, breathing hot air from her mouth. The girl's body constantly smells good, it's not the smell of perfume, it's the girl's body fragrance. If it were a different male, he would have already knelt down on one knee and sworn to death to say that he would defend the happiness of Her Royal Highness the princess. Kaye didn't do this, but just said, "As long as I'm in Alcreeu, I won't let His Highness become a victim of politics, and I won't let you marry a man you don't like." ”

After the lively ball, Kaye and Sophia sat in the back of the carriage, and the carriage ran with the horse's whip on the horse. Sophia, who hesitated for a long time in the carriage, couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Kaye, it may be rude to ask such a question, you have a really good relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"His Majesty the King has offered me the idea of being the husband of Her Royal Highness the Princess, but I have refused. ”

Kaye actually refused to be the husband of Her Royal Highness the beautiful princess, obviously they are all of elven blood, they should be able to understand each other, why did they refuse.

Ileta is the only heir to the throne of Alcreeu, Kaye will be king in the future if she marries her, and Kaye is a hero who saves the country, so it is very suitable to be the husband of Her Royal Highness the princess. There will be no opposition from the nobles, and the marriage of the hero and the princess will only bring benefits to Alcreeu. Similarly, as a woman, Sophia can see that Ilita has feelings of admiration for Kaye, because Irita's love for Kaye is undisguised.

Generally speaking, after most nobles get married, as long as they can afford to support their wives and side rooms, they will take in several side rooms. But the strange thing is that Kaye has been living in the royal capital for eleven years, and with Kaye's fame and nobility, it is not surprising that even if there is a main room and a side room, Kaye is still single.

"It is impossible for me and Her Highness the Princess, for she is the Lord I will serve in the future. ”

Looking into the distance, the red-haired princess who was far away in his mind was the red-haired princess who was far away in Honel.
