There is no doubt that Su Ya's approach has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Previously, it was Archbishop Leo who invited Su Ya to dance, but the duchess refused, and then Su Ya actually followed the young man next to her off the dance floor.

This is undoubtedly a very inappropriate practice, although it is not uncommon for a nobleman to invite a lady to dance with him, and that lady dances with her favorite object at the subsequent ball. However, the atmosphere of the Bright Empire is still relatively free and open, and such things often happen among the nobility, and no one really cares about things on such occasions.

But when this matter is put on the Archbishop of the Temple and a Duchess of the Empire, it seems to be a bit of gossip.

Jose followed Su Ya into the dance floor with a helpless face, he already felt that many people's eyes were focused on him, which made him a little helpless, so he could only whisper in Su Ya's ear: "I said that you don't give that Leo face in this way, right?"

Su Ya smiled and held Joseph's arm, the smile on her face did not change at all, but attached to Joseph's ear and whispered, "Shhh, don't speak...... Let's dance......"

The girl's exhaled breath hit Joseph's ear, making his ears tickle, and Joseph quickly didn't dare to say anything, just hugged Suya's waist, stiff as a wooden man. Jose had also learned some dance steps before, although he was not very proficient, but with Su Ya leading him at the moment, he couldn't make much mistake.

The appearance of the two fell in the eyes of others, just like a pair of men and women in love grinding in each other's ears, and there was a bit of ambiguity in it.

Leo had already gotten off the dance floor at the moment, and he obviously looked at Suya and Jose on the dance floor, and the archbishop's face suddenly became a little unnatural. Although there was no obvious change in his expression, and he couldn't see any mood fluctuations, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but jump......

Norman on the side obviously saw all this, he squinted his eyes, and seemed to watch Su Ya and Jose strolling on the dance floor with interest, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: This Su Ya is smarter than he imagined!

............

The dinner lasted for almost two hours, and Suya took Jose around the hall in the following time. Because of Su Ya's noble status, along the way, many people came forward to salute and talk to Su Ya, and Qiao Se on the side could only stand aside and nod and smile because he was not good at these social interactions.

But after this turn, José only felt that his neck was a little sore, and the smile on his face was about to stiffen. Su Ya still talked to these nobles with an indifferent face, her expression was lukewarm, but it seemed that many people knew the character of this duchess, and she would leave after a few words, and she would not be noisy.

To José's surprise, the Archbishop Leo left in the middle of the banquet, although most of the people present guessed that it was because he was in a bad mood tonight, but José had a strange feeling when he watched this guy leave.

It seems that this guy ...... He didn't care about the refusal at all, his expression seemed to fall on his own look intentionally or unintentionally, especially in the guy's brilliant eyes, which seemed to hide a lot of secrets, which made Jose feel a little uncomfortable.

However, as the protagonist of tonight, the Norman Duke barely showed up a few times, except for the opening dance, it seemed that he talked with the guests in the back hall at the beginning of the banquet, and even maintained an indifferent attitude towards Jose's arrival, and only said a few words to Jose at the beginning of the banquet, not to mention Suya.

After the dinner was over, Suya took José's arm, and walked to the door of the courtyard to say goodbye to everyone like an ordinary nobleman, and Norman did not come out to greet her, but let the elegant duchess as the hostess come out to see Suya away.

The two waited at the door for a while, and the two carriages drove side by side, and Su Ya glanced at Jose: "You take a carriage with me, I have something to tell you." After Su Ya finished speaking, with the respectful support of the coachman, she turned around and got into the larger carriage.

José smiled bitterly, and after a few words of explanation to Gould, he got into the carriage himself.

The carriage soon moved slowly, but José found Su Ya sitting in the car with a solemn face, as if she was thinking about something, and when she saw José getting into the car, a smile appeared on her face: "Sit down, José, you must be tired tonight, right?"

José didn't refuse, and sat directly next to Su Ya, smelling the faint smell of perfume on the girl's body, but José couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You don't seem to be the same as usual tonight! I mean, I didn't expect you to accept Norman's invitation, and that Leo Archbishop, a lot of things did happen tonight." ”

Su Ya also shook her head, her beautiful eyes revealed a little worry, looked at Qiao Se and said lightly: "Today's banquet, in fact, I had already guessed when I returned to the imperial capital, so I didn't refuse." Norman is very smart, and he can see what I think, or maybe there is something about His Majesty in this!"

"You mean, this banquet still has something to do with that emperor?!" Jose was shocked, looked at Su Ya with some doubts, and couldn't help but whisper: "But you don't have some disagreements with the Norman family, even His Majesty the Emperor probably knows this, the purpose of this banquet is ......"

"Compromise!" Su Ya's expression became very calm, and these two words slowly spit out from her mouth: "Joseph, you don't understand, since I returned to the imperial capital, I have felt that the situation in the imperial capital has been very different from a year ago...... Although His Majesty the Emperor no longer trusts the Ellios family, due to various trade-offs and considerations, he will not do anything to the family. Because his current mind is not on the family at all, not even in the northwest, but in the ...... Temple!!"

Su Ya frowned, as if she was sorting out the thoughts in her heart: "In the past few days since I returned to the imperial capital, there has been a tense atmosphere in both the palace and the military headquarters. His Majesty the Emperor's patience seems to be running out, whether it is the war in the northwest or the arrangement of the Sistine to run Moxi, His Majesty's eyes seem to have never left the direction of the northeast!

This year, several provinces in the south have reduced their religious tax expenditures, and the Northwest War Empire has not sent many troops.

However, the military expenditure has reached one million gold coins, and in addition to supporting the Northwest Army, it is more important to guard against the Macedonians and steppe people!"
