Chapter 48

As a venue for a celebration banquet, it is the most luxurious place of its kind in the central capital, and there are larger rooms in terms of size alone, but as a banquet venue, it is not enough to simply be spacious. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In high society, a banquet is not just a place to celebrate or dance, and any event, once the condition of high society is added, will become a place for power struggles and strengthening popularity.

In addition, this banquet was hosted by the emperor, except for the nobles whose territory was far away from the central capital and the nobles who were dealing with the affairs of the territory, almost all the nobles would come to attend.

The disappearance of magic did greatly reduce the prestige of the empire, and also caused the emergence of rebels that had never existed in the history of the empire, and even many nobles abandoned their allegiance to the emperor and joined the rebel army.

But after all, the empire is a country that has ruled mankind for more than 10,000 years, even if there is no magic, there are people who don't want it to perish, plus the imperial army won a big victory in the suburbs of the central capital, although it was just a victory in a small battle, but under the beautiful propaganda of Weiss, many people regained confidence in the empire, and many nobles who had heavy troops but were still wavering regained their oath to the empire and once again pledged their allegiance to the empire.

Now that many nobles have returned to the empire, a natural celebration banquet is necessary, and at the same time, in this banquet, the emperor will also appoint the commander of the crusade against the rebel army, and almost all the nobles want to take this opportunity to tie up the characters who are about to be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, of course, there are a few dissatisfied nobles among them, but even so, they do not dare to offend Weiss in this banquet, if they offend a higher figure than themselves simply because they are unhappy, they will not still maintain their status as nobles now.

Now, many richly dressed nobles had gathered in the hall, and the sound of small conversations filled the whole room, although they were talking about inconsequential and mundane topics, but that was only the surface. In fact, the negotiation and coercion of various factions were mixed in, and the noble ladies also talked about the daughters and clothes they brought to each other, and at the same time observed and searched for the characters who were their enemies, and from time to time the words were mixed with all kinds of spikes.

The topic they talked about the most was naturally the new general who turned the tide in the empire after the magic disappeared, and the man who would become the commander-in-chief of the imperial army after the banquet - Vis Stirling. Although he has not yet attained the status of a nobleman, it is only a matter of time, right? The most common suspicion is that Vis Stirling will first obtain the status of an earl, and then gradually rise through the ranks of the rebels to finally obtain the highest rank of duke.

Although some nobles despised the use of criminals, the majority of nobles admired their exploits.

In this banquet mixed with power and desire, constantly guarding each other, only the innocent dialogue of the eldest ladies of the same faction is the only cooling agent. They are all girls with both temperament and beauty, and the perfect makeup shows their cute and moving side to the fullest, which fascinates the men present, and the clothes they wear are very beautiful, from which you can feel the status of their family.

If Francis Collar hadn't been attacked, Phidelia would still be here as a member of the Miss, right?

The ladies chatted kindly, talking about the man who saved the empire.

Among them, many eldest ladies have seen his appearance, and that appearance can be fully worthy of the word handsome guy. The eldest ladies who have lost their magic can understand that they are now only left with the use of marriage props, as young girls, they naturally want to have a handsome husband, so the talented and handsome Vis Stirling is undoubtedly the best candidate, if you miss him, you don't know where you will marry in the future.

"Then everyone, please listen to me. One of the eldest ladies spoke calmly.

The one who spoke was the daughter of the highest-ranking family among the eldest ladies present.

However, the reason why everyone is willing to calm down and listen to her speech is not because of this girl's character, even if there is an obvious gap in family position, she can still communicate with other eldest ladies naturally, and there is no strict relationship between other eldest ladies among them, so she is admired by all the people.

"Well, no matter who Lord Sterling has a crush on, I hope you don't turn your face. ”

There is no one who cannot understand the meaning of this, and the purpose of this banquet is to try to be liked by Vis Sterling and become his wife, which means that they are all competitors. Many of these eldest ladies are from families that rely on magic, and after not being able to use magic, the status of most families has plummeted, and even if it doesn't show signs of defeat now, it's only a matter of time, if it can be favored by Vessie Stirling, there is no doubt that the status of that family will rise in one breath and regain its former glory, and the girls here are burdened with the burden of reviving the family.

"No problem, no one is like that. ”

An eldest lady gently answered the girl's request. Then the other eldest ladies also strongly agreed, of course, these words of approval have no basis, even if they can guarantee themselves, it is easy to be broken because of family factors, and now they are probably looking for self-comfort.

The silence lasted for a while, broken by the speech of another eldest lady.

"If that happens, just sue your husband. ”

The sudden speech made all the staff smile, and the awkward atmosphere was easily resolved.

Needless to say, the husband or something refers to Weiss Sterling, if he cries to the person who now has the highest power, then the boring family rivalry will disappear immediately, as the commander of the imperial army with the highest military power in the empire, who would want to offend such a person?

Soon, the heavy topic shifted away in a light-hearted atmosphere, and the conversation began to move in the direction of speculation about Vess Sterling's preferences.

A young nobleman who had admired one of the maidens overheard their conversation as he approached the object of his affection, and his handsome face distorted for a moment, and he violently shook off the hand that his friends had placed on his shoulder to comfort him. In the past, he was rejected by the object of his affection because of the barrier of magic, but even without magic, power and family would become the biggest walls. Some things are decided at birth, and ideas that individuals like or hate have no meaning in this world.

Almost all the nobles still hold that idea.
