Chapter 49
"Ha, what a lady who can only speak beautiful things. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In a corner of the venue, a young girl in an inconspicuous costume complained. To her left and right are girls dressed like her, and although there is nothing wrong with the costumes, they always give people a sense of date, and their appearance does not look glamorous.
"Silea, that's the daughter of the Duke of Marlborough's family, one of the six dukes, it's terrible to hear it. ”
"Yes, yes. ”
The girl gently ruffled her hair, which shone like gold.
The maiden known as Cerea was actually very beautiful, her blonde hair was combed back to her head, her forehead was greatly exposed, and her blue eyes contained a strong will, although her family's status was not high, but her ambition was not in this.
"If it's Celestia, there's still a chance that Lord Stirling will take a fancy to her, right?" the flattering words of his companion didn't continue under Celestia's glare.
"I didn't come here looking for a husband. The words contained the girl's determination, and the sharp gaze made the girl at the front of her line of sight tremble violently.
"But, without magic, what future can we have except to marry someone to develop the family?" A faint sadness can be seen from the expression of the girl who spoke, but even if there is magic, the magic power they have is completely incomparable to the daughters of those families with noble blood, so in the end, there is only the fate of getting married, and the girl has long bowed to fate.
Looking at her companion like that, Cerea stopped talking.
The girls' gaze was tilted to a corner of the room, where a staircase covered with a red velvet carpet stretched, and at the end of the staircase there was a platform, on which stood a handsome man, whose voice was of good character befitting his appearance, and echoed in the vast chamber even if it was not loud.
He shouted the names of the nobles.
Each time he called out a name, the curtain at the end of the platform would open, and the nobleman and his female companion standing there would be bathed in the eyes of the other nobles with all kinds of emotions, and gracefully descend the stairs with a smile, and after they had walked down, the voice of the nobleman's name would sound again, and then the next pair of nobles would appear behind the curtain.
Repeated several times, several nobles entered the venue with grace.
This order indicates the level of the status of the nobles, and the lower they are, the more they can prove their high status, and the nobleman whose name is called and his wife do have a little superiority in their eyes, but when the two walk down the stairs and the other nobles' names are called, the feelings in their eyes turn to jealousy.
Listening to the titles and names of the nobles who were called, the nobles present understood that the entry of the nobles was also coming to an end. The only ones who haven't entered the stadium are the Emperor, General Weiss Stirling, and a few duke-level figures, right?
Generally speaking, the organizers are the first to come to welcome guests, but if the emperor has absolute power, it is a different matter. The Emperor should have been the last to enter.
Seeing the ceremonial officer straighten his clothes, everyone felt that it was time for Vis Stirling to enter, and everyone turned their eyes to the steps, their eyes wide open, wanting to see the young general.
However, the results were unexpected.
The name of Vis Sterling did not appear in the mouth of the ceremonial officer.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Duke and his wife. ”
There was a commotion and a slight confusion among the nobles, why was it the duke who came first and not the general who had no title?
In other words, Ves Sterling has a higher status than the Duke?
Even so, there is only one such explanation...... I really don't want to believe it. A cacophony of noise mingled with the crowd.
The commotion was interrupted by a light cough from the Duke of Marlborough, and the nobles belonging to the Marlborough group hurriedly took the lead in applauding when they realized the duke's unhappiness, and the other nobles finally realized that they had neglected the Duke of Marlborough and applauded.
This time, the Duke was the only one who could attend the banquet, so it should be General Vis Stirling after him, right?
But a nervous expression appeared on the face of the ceremonial officer, and he even called the ceremonial officer to the side as if to confirm whether there was a mistake in the list, and compared to the nobles' questions, after confirming that the list was correct, the ceremonial officer reported the name that could not have appeared.
"His Majesty Klopt I, Emperor, enters. ”
The aristocrats' confusion swelled, shouldn't the emperor be the last to enter?
The nobles who didn't have time to sort out their thoughts hurriedly lowered their heads and expressed their respect to the emperor.
The two of them entered the venue and took their seats on the stage, and then sent a signal to the hostess on the other side of the platform, which meant that there were still people to enter. In other words, the man who stood at the top of the empire personally welcomed the young generals who had not yet become the nobles of the empire as the hosts.
Most of the nobles, especially the women who knew what that meant, had a serious flame in their eyes, and few nobles could not understand what was going on.
Then, the belated voice finally rang out.
"Guys, next up is General Vis Stirling. ”
The eyes of the nobles who had been waiting for the young general to appear for a long time widened.
The eyes of the aristocracy caught the new men and women as they appeared.
One of them was a man in a beautiful pure white tuxedo, and his clothes exuded a brilliance reminiscent of platinum, without a trace of stains, and that dress was probably worth all the living expenses of a nobleman for a year, right?
The handsome face scanned the nobles present with a sharp gaze, and the nobles who were swept by the gaze couldn't help but shudder.
However, the figure who was supposed to be the ruler of this place was treated as a gift in the next moment.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess!?" exclaimed, focusing everyone's attention on the girl beside Ves.
The girl beside Vis is undoubtedly the jewel of the empire, Princess Tinia Klopt, the youngest daughter of Emperor Klopt, who has the most beautiful title.
It was a queen-like existence - a girl with a dominator atmosphere floating around her, and even from a certain distance, she could get the arrogance on her face.
The duo, who couldn't help but bow their heads, especially the girl's side, slowly descended the red staircase, and the sight of Her Royal Highness the princess descended by Vesto's hand, as the queen came.
It was only then that all the nobles understood the fact that it was impossible for their daughters to compete for the status of Weiss's wife, because, with the princess as Weiss's female companion, it was obvious that the emperor had the intention of recruiting Weiss as a concubine, and no one would be stupid enough to contradict the emperor's intentions.
