(251) Party

At this time, the bell rang for the end of class.

Constance and William immediately took their class notes to Professor Dalí, who patiently answered the students' questions.

Everyone else began to pack up the stationery on the table.

Princess Rosemary pulled out a stack of beautiful cards, the invitations she had prepared, and handed them out to her classmates one by one, inviting them to Victor's promotion party.

She is the imperial daughter of the empire, born bright and moving, the boys naturally can't refuse her invitation, because her popularity is quite good, the girls in the class are also willing to give her face and agree to attend.

The party was held in the Stronghall family's mansion, and in the evening, the guests were dressed appropriately, and their male or female companions arrived in a horse-drawn carriage.

The sun had set, the party was brightly lit, and hundreds of butter candles looked like stars in the Milky Way, reflecting the marble tiles to make the hall look like daytime.

The buffet area is filled with delicate plates of pastries for guests to enjoy, servants bring up cellar wines, and people gather together to talk about the latest gossip and current events.

Since it was a party to celebrate the promotion of military ranks, most of the boys and girls of the academy came in military uniforms, and many chose to wear gentlemen's dresses and evening dresses.

Neither the hosts of tonight's party, Baron Victor nor Princess Rosemary, have yet to show up.

Baron Wicktingströnghold was a brave and strong giant who held a key position in the Imperial Capital's security department.

He is a reserved and quiet man, especially unsociable, but because his lover, Princess Rosemary, has a huge influence and is very fond of boisterousness.

Therefore, the Strondhalter family often holds large-scale salon banquets, such as the annual National Day salon, birthday parties, various celebration dinners, and various traditional festivals.

The banquets hosted by barons and princesses were famous in the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital, and it was no longer a simple salon banquet, but gradually sublimated into some kind of important high-level social venue.

Young men and women of the imperial elite were proud to be invited to such banquets, as they could make many friends at the level of imperial relatives and would be of great benefit to their future political careers.

At around 19:30 that night, the protagonist of the banquet finally appeared in the hall.

Baron Wicktingstromhald, Custodian of the Holy Sepulchre, wore a new military dress with the newly conferred rank of colonel on his shoulders, and his high-heeled leather boots made him stand taller at 2.15 meters, and his head was almost on the edge of the door frame.

Beside this strong giant, the tall and tall Queen Rosemary Midknight was much more delicate, and she snuggled up in the arms of Baron Victor like a bird, which aroused the envy of the female guests.

The princess specially made a fashionable hairstyle tonight, and her long thick silver hair was braided into a huge twisted braid and coiled around her head, and it was firmly fastened with a diamond hairpin.

The two hairs that were thrown out were permed into large waves of indiscriminate curls and were thrown to the sides lively.

A lace hairnet encrusted with sapphires and gracefully curled bangs is both mysterious and holy

Her three-dimensional and delicate facial features resemble those of her emperor's mother when she was young.

Unlike her mother's silver-grey eyes and her sister Edgar's lilac eyes, Princess Rosemary has a pair of sparkling golden eyes, which are even more vivid against the heavy eyeliner eyeshadow.

With a towering eyebrow bone, deep-set eye sockets, a slender straight nose, shallow lips, delicate ears, and a pointed chin, this face is perfect even in the eyes of the most discerning person, and there is not a single blemish to be found.

The tall, fatless figure was tightly wrapped in a rose-red silk evening gown, and the graceful curves of the young body exuded a fatal temptation.

Long lace gloves were worn on the slender arms, and the deep V opening on the back of the dress revealed fair skin.

The aristocratic young people present couldn't help but swallow their saliva, they all blushed and their hearts were beating, and their palms were full of sweat.

Even the girls could not resist the charm of Her Majesty the Princess, and were so captivated by her astonishing beauty that it was difficult to take their eyes off her once they were fixed on her.

Princess Rosemary raised the crystal goblet in her hand, and her voice was as melodious as a silver bell:

"Thank you all for joining us, and I would like to express my sincere respect to you on behalf of my brother-in-law Victor!"

With that, she craned her neck and poured half a glass of chilled whiskey into her stomach, revealing the astonishing amount of alcohol she had inherited from her mother.

"To you too! Your Majesty, Princess! Lord Baron! The guests toasted in unison.

"The prom has begun!" Princess Rosemary announced in high breast: "Musician! Let's have a bit of a cheerful rhythm and make everyone happy! I want everybody to dance! ”

The musicians in the hall get busy, playing harpsichord, harp, violin, double bass, trombone and bagpipes.

They were all students of the Royal Imperial Academy of Music, and their playing skills were among the best among their peers, and under the influence of music, everyone's emotions were quickly mobilized.

A pair of elegantly behaved gentlemen and ladies danced on the dance floor, while others watched with their glasses raised.

Not surprisingly, the combination of Baron Victor and Princess Rosemary was once again the focus of attention.

Both of them have received formal ballroom dancing training and are considered excellent dancers.

Tall and agile, Victor is brisk and dances with precision and grace.

The huge palm of her hand held Princess Rosemary's slender waist, and from time to time she held her in the air, making some difficult movements, which attracted a round of applause.

With the change of the rhythm of the music, everyone's dance steps are sometimes quiet and sometimes excited.

Under the influence of this environment, the dancers temporarily forget their daily worries and sorrows. They began to let their mood fly, spinning, jumping, and laughing to the rhythm of the music.......

But not everyone can enjoy the joy of ballroom dancing.

Many of the people present did not find a dance partner, and Princess Edgar, the sister of the royal daughter, was one of them.

She wore a military academy uniform and sat alone in the corner of the hall eating snacks and drinking alcohol.

At the beginning of the party, many men invited her to dance, but she politely declined.

Because Edgar was in a bad mood today, at noon, the male lion "Stupid Cat", which she had raised for three years, fell ill and died.

She buried her large pet in the garden of the inner court of the palace, and wept sadly for it.

Children in general like cats and dogs, cute, normal pets.

But Edgar is different, she likes beasts, especially agile and fierce lions and tigers, so she always stays in the zoo of Jinhu Palace.

The "Stupid Cat" is a huge tropical lion that was one of the national gifts given to the emperor by foreign envoys.

Edgar likes to stroke the mane on the lion's head, the furry feel is quite good, and he thinks this lion is the dumbest one in the palace zoo, so he gave it such a cute nickname.

At first, the princess sneaks into the beast's cage to scare the keepers enough.

The keepers have been trying to stop the savage and wayward princess, trying to prevent her from entering the cage to get close to the so-called "cats".

Until one time, the keeper saw Princess Edgar subduing an angry tigress with her bare hands.

The power contained in her slender snow-white hands seemed to be endless, and the huge and ferocious tigress was subdued, and secondly, the beast became quite honest and no longer dared to attack people.

Since then, whenever Edgar sneaks into the zoo, the keepers have stopped worrying about the princess's safety, and instead began to feel sorry for the "weak" beasts, fearing that they would be abused and beaten by the princess.

Edgar likes to feed the beasts with live chickens, pigs, sheep and other animals in captivity, and she stands by and admires the big cats tearing open the throats of their prey, as they devour the warm flesh and blood.

Many people were afraid of blood, but Edgar became excited when she saw blood, and her emperor mother was very worried about it, but she was helpless about this wayward fellow.

Edgar has no mercy for the live birds that are fed as feed, but is unhappy about the death of her pet lion, the Stupid Cat.

She didn't want to go to tonight's party, but because of her sister Rosemary and her brother-in-law Victor, she finally came.
