Chapter 193: Being smart is mistaken by being smart
Despite the doubts in his heart, Roddy walked up to Nicole, and according to the aristocratic etiquette he had learned, he stretched out a hand and made the most standard gesture of invitation. 【】
Gorgeous music began to play......
Gently hugging Nicole's slender waist, the two danced to the light music...... According to the usual practice, the first dance was only enjoyed by His Majesty the Emperor alone, and the people next to him naturally had to stand aside and watch.
But this kind of honor is not something that ordinary people can enjoy......
Roddy had just jumped a few steps with Nicole when he felt uncomfortable...... Countless eyes around him shot at him, some were envious, some were amazed, some were doubtful, some were disdainful, some were jealous, and some were angry...... Of course, more people are speculating about Roddy's identity......
All kinds of complicated eyes fell on him, making Luo Di feel a little nervous, as if he was a little uncomfortable all over. Holding Nicole's hand, I couldn't help but stiffen a little.
"Take it easy......" Nicole sensed Roddy's nervousness, hurriedly leaned into his ear, and said softly, "Don't worry about their gaze." ”
After saying this, Nicole's body almost snuggled up in Roddy's arms, her body was completely relaxed, and she simply let Roddy dance in a circle with her. She has received an aristocratic education since she was a child, and this kind of occasion has naturally experienced a lot, although it is the first time to dance the first dance in front of everyone on such a grand occasion, but the tension in her heart is far better than that of Roddy.
Luo Di only felt a soft body tightly leaning against his arms, his nose was full of the familiar fragrance of Nicole's body, and his heart couldn't help but relax, and his originally stiff movements were much smoother......
The man's figure is slender and straight, full of heroism. The woman is beautiful and moving, peerless and enchanting, plus the background behind the two. Especially Roddy's mysterious identity at the moment. All eyes in the hall were focused on them.
Andy still had a majestic expression on his face, sitting on the top throne, but he almost laughed in his heart.
"Old skeleton, what are you proud of?" heard the shrill voice of Tianlie, and Andy immediately realized that it was the fat man who was talking to him in a special way.
"Dead fatty, are you using mind reading?" Andy frowned secretly: "Is the domain powerhouse amazing? Dare to use mind reading on my old man? Aren't you afraid that I will use magic to eat you?"
Tianlie laughed arrogantly, but did not speak.
Andy also showed a sly gaze: "When did my old man learn to dance? I don't know this kind of difficult thing, let this kid dance well......"
Tianlie's voice seemed to sigh: "You guy has too many flowers...... As soon as you do this scene today, everyone will guess tomorrow what His Majesty the Emperor has to do with this kid...... Alas......"
Andy smiled helplessly: "I? I didn't say anything, I just said, 'I'm proud of you,'......"
At this moment, everyone in the hall began to applaud. The first dance was over, and the dancing man and woman had separated, and after doing a noble ceremony, they both walked to the side.
The next time is more free, tonight is a celebratory dinner, naturally there are not too many rules, but Roddy is already crowded with all kinds of people.
I have to say. People who can mix in high positions are a bit of brains, although they still don't know what this kid has to do with His Majesty the Emperor -- but His Majesty's intimate attitude towards him just now is obvious! Not to mention that he was dragged to the back alone just now, although I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor said to him alone, but after the people came out, they even changed their clothes...... Doesn't that tell the story?
The palace is not a dressing room at home!
So, though this boy is now only a viscount, but an officer--what is this? As long as he has the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, there is no doubt about his future status and wealth!
Although Roddy wondered why these people were suddenly so interested in him - normally, the protagonist of tonight should be Miro! Duke Tulip did not appear, so Miro, who had a big family background, was also a great hero of the war. It should be the most dazzling talent tonight!
Looking at the crowd around him who were talking to him, Roddy felt a little irritated - in fact, the most he wanted to do at the moment was to be around Nicole...... The dancing of the two just now filled Luo Di's heart with tenderness -- who doesn't have a bit of romance in his heart? What's more, the two of them get together less and leave more on weekdays, and it is the first time that they can dance so intimately in front of people.
What made Roddy even more unhappy was that as soon as the dance music ended, Nicole was surrounded by a few pesky flies...... Some of those people Luo Di knows, they are all young heirs of such and such a family. Look at the way they look at Nicole. If it weren't for the officers guarding him with Thor's Whip, I'm afraid I'd have swallowed Nicole!
Now the tulip family is in the limelight. As long as you have a relationship with the Tulip family, it is a guarantee of status and future!
To be honest, Roddy really misses the identity of Duke Tulip at the moment - there were a few soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army everywhere around him at that time. It is possible to protect yourself, just to keep these pesky flies a little further away from you.
This guy in front of him, with a suspicious smile on his face, probably thinks he thinks of himself as a treasure, right?
The one on the left looks like I'm going to see through it...... He can't have that kind of preference, right......
Well, this person is even more outrageous, what do you always stare at your face?
Finally, someone rescued him......
"Your Excellency Viscount Roddy. An old voice sounded beside him, and Roddy looked over, but his mood sank with some joy - the man who spoke was the old fox of the Marquis of Caroline.
Caroline was smiling like an old fox at the moment, but there was a sharp gaze in his squinted eyes, and the people in front of him immediately made way for him.
The old marquis walked up to Roddy and smiled, "Your Excellency the Viscount." He has made such a great contribution to the empire at a young age, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future!" After speaking, he patted Luo Di's shoulder affectionately.
Luo Di didn't dare to slack off, although he didn't like this guy very much in his heart, but he still maintained a gentle smile on his face, and saluted the other party according to the etiquette of the nobles, and then smiled at Milo, who was standing next to the Marquis of Caroline: "Lord Milo has been made an earl, and it is even more admired by the lower officials." ”
While the three of them were talking, Miró did wink, and the officers of the Northern Army under him immediately occupied several positions around him quietly. Without a trace, he squeezed away the other nobles who had been surrounding the three of them.
It's clear that he wants to occupy this mysterious new star that suddenly appeared alone!
Due to the limelight of the Lionheart family, naturally no one would have a hard time with the old marquis at such a time.
The Marquis Caroline's words were false and real, and he tried to figure out Roddy's origin and background - only for these questions, Roddy had already prepared a way to answer them. In fact, before he began to show up in his true face, the many questions about the future had already been discussed with Andy and others.
The Marquis of Caroline spent a long day, and now the other party does not say anything about his background. The words are just perfunctory with themselves. It's just that the longer the conversation between the two men, the more surprised the Marquis Caroline was in front of him: this young man named Roddy was full of a calm and unhurried demeanor in his speech and demeanor, although the tone was very peaceful, but the kind of gaze that occasionally flashed in his eyes made the old Marquis a little surprised-it was a kind of habitual gaze of a person in a high position, a kind of gaze accustomed to the power that controlled everything.
During the conversation between the two, although Luo Di put on a respectful and respectful attitude towards his superiors on the surface, there was a faint sense of confrontation with the old fox who had been in power for many years in the empire. Logically speaking, a marquis and a viscount stand together, one is the emperor's minister, and the other is a middle-level officer. But the Marquis of Caroline's feeling was that this guy seemed to have an air of implicit majesty. Of course, the old marquis knew that this majesty could not be deliberately disguised, it was formed over a long period of cultivation and habit......
What the hell is this young man??
The question was always on the mind of the Marquis of Caroline—he was more and more sure of his guesses!
He must be someone close to His Majesty the Emperor - this guy is young, and he seems to have a kind of momentum that looks down on everything in his speech and demeanor, and that kind of spirit that destroys everything in conversation and laughter, which no one else can learn!
I have the impression that only people from the royal family have this kind of temperament, right?
Prince Barang. His Majesty the current Emperor, and before Bayan died. Occasionally, this kind of temperament can be revealed—but it doesn't seem to be as natural and natural as the young man in front of him......
The old marquis's heart became more and more surprised, unconsciously. When talking to each other, their demeanor became more and more cautious, more and more gentle, and in the end, it didn't look like a superior was gently encouraging his subordinates, but more like two big people of the same level chatting.
In the end, the Marquis of Carolinge inadvertently said that two days later, His Majesty Corsica VI, the Pope of the Imperial Cult of God, would receive all the triumphant heroes of the Imperial Capital Religion and award the medals of the Cult of God to the heroes of the Holy War. After listening to the words of the Marquis of Caroline, Roddy unconsciously showed a somewhat disapproving expression on his face.
What kind of person was the Marquis Caroline? Immediately he could see the difference in the expression on Roddy's face. Then he smiled slightly, and said: "Your Excellency, is it ...... for the reception of His Majesty the Pope?"
Without waiting for the Marquis of Caroline to finish speaking, Luo Di glanced at him, and then said lightly in a calm tone: "I am Mr. Qiu's disciple!" Although his tone was calm, it carried a bit of faint respect.
Mr. Qiu's disciple?!
The Caroline Marquis's face was a little unnatural.
Of course, he thought of what Roddy meant.
Mr. Cho died that day at the hands of His Majesty the Pope - although His Majesty the Emperor did not pursue the events of that day's court, and who was right and who was wrong was no longer mentioned. It doesn't matter if Mr. Qiu is an outlier, after all, he is only a court warrior - although he is a Xi warrior. But since His Majesty the Pope has said that Mr. Qiu is an anomaly, a member of the Kara tribe, then there is no need for the Empire to turn its face against the Cult of God for a court warrior like Mr. Aki, right? Although it seems that the relationship between the two sides is not as close as it used to be, a war has reunited the Cult and the Empire......
But the Carolingian Marquis thought it a little deeper......
Mr. Qiu's disciple?!
Since he is a disciple of Mr. Qiu, where did he teach him swordsmanship?
It can only be in the palace!!
Who is qualified to receive Mr. Qiu's teachings?
Of course, the Marquis of Caroline knew that the court warrior was a royal warrior! not everyone was qualified to be taught by the court warrior!
Even if the court warrior wants to accept apprentices, he must obtain the permission of the royal family in advance!
What made the Marquis of Carolinge even more unthinkable was that when the princes and princes of the past generations were not adults, the task of teaching them swordsmanship was the responsibility of the court warriors!
"He's royal!he's royal!!" The muscles in the corners of Marquis Caroline's eyes trembled a little, and although he was still smiling on his face, he couldn't keep calm in his heart!
Maybe it's because of the cleverness that was mistaken by the cleverness, the more this old marquis thinks about it, the more complicated it becomes, and the more he thinks about it, the more esoteric it becomes...... In the end, he couldn't help but secretly look at His Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor has never appointed a crown prince, is it ...... This young man has such an extraordinary temperament, and he is said to be a disciple of Mr. Qiu—so can it be said that he has always lived in the palace before?
His Majesty the Emperor, after completely sweeping away the power of Prince Barang, pushed this young man in front of everyone in the middle of the war, and the deep meaning of it ......
The Caroline Marquis had a thought in his mind, but Roddy gradually grew impatient, and saw a few flies around Nicole...... Damn, one of them looked more and more obscene, and Roddy whispered hello to the old marquis, and strode away.
The Marquis of Caroline was thinking about his thoughts, but Miro next to him frowned and said, "Uncle, is there anything about this Roddy that is worthy of your deep thought?"
Marquis Caroline shook his head, glanced deeply at his nephew, and said slowly: "Miro, you are the hope of our family's future, but your vision of people is still much worse, you must pay attention in the future!"
"Oh?"
The old marquis nodded and said slowly: "Miro, I can tell you...... We've dug up the treasure!" His eyes looked at the back of the departing Roddy, his voice was a little low, but he couldn't hide his excitement: "It's this kid! I know you've always been arrogant, but you should pay attention to having a good relationship with him in the army!
