(252) Dance partners
"Hi Edgar!" The princess heard her name being called behind her.
Edgar looked back and saw that it was her brother Constance, with a wooden wheelchair in his hand and Young Wilhelm sitting on it.
Like himself, the two of them were also wearing military school uniforms, and the lenses of the two highly myopic glasses shone in the candlelight, and the pedantic atmosphere of a cold scholar came to their faces.
"Hello, Second Brother Constance, and Master William, come and have something to eat." Edgar greeted weakly, shoving a piece of cream cake into her mouth and taking a sip of honey wine, as if she were numbing herself with food.
"Sister, why are you listless today? It's not like you, is it sick? Konstanz asked with concern.
"It's not a disease...... Ay! Don't mention it! ”
"What the hell is going on? It's boring to stay anyway, so let's just watch it with the two of us. ”
"This afternoon, I took a few turkeys to the zoo to feed my precious pets.
I just saw the breeders gathered around, and I stepped forward to take a look, good guys!
It turned out that the 'stupid cat' was sick and died! The corpses are already lightly decomposed, and they are all attracting flies, so pitiful! I'm very sad about it. ”
"Stupid cat?" Young Master William asked suspiciously, there are still cats in the Royal Zoo? How come I haven't seen it? ”
Constance said: "You don't know, my sister has a special fetish, she is not a cat, but an adult male lion in the beast pen."
Sweat slid down William's cheeks, and he muttered, "It's really Edgar, it's not normal to do anything......"
This sentence did not escape the princess's keen hearing: "William, don't think I can't hear! You're speaking ill of me again, aren't you? I see you're itchy and want me to pinch your face again? ”
Young Master William was frightened and hurriedly covered his face: "You heard it wrong, I don't have anything."
"Humph! Better not let me hear it again! Otherwise, you're out of luck! ”
Edgar glared at the other and began to eat and drink to herself, and with a glance of her peripheral vision, she saw her brother and Young Master William sitting at the table behind her.
After a while, the eldest prince Meyer and the prince Maxim also came.
They all looked in one direction, staring blankly at the people on the dance floor.
"Hey! We're all lonely people, we don't even have a decent dance partner! Edgar sighed.
Prince Meyer smiled: "Sister, you originally had a dance partner, but it's a pity that you personally sent him to the hospital."
"Big brother, are you Young Master Steinberg?"
"Yes, I saw that you brought him back to the palace, invited him to eat with him, and walked hand in hand, the same routine as before. These guys don't have a long memory, so many people are sent to the hospital, and there is still a steady stream of stupid people who take the bait. ”
"Don't blame me, I didn't force them to ask me for a date, they did it voluntarily, these boys are really not angry, they are all weak crybags! Steinberg is one of the best, among the boys who pursue me, he is considered to be among the best, and as a reward, this sister gave him a kiss. ”
"Yes, the joy of that son is beyond words, and he is so happy that he has let out his fart! I guess he must have thought he was going to be a colt of the Empire! What an infatuated fool! ”
Edgar laughed heartily: "Hahahahaha! Brother Meyer, you are really funny, even funnier than those court courtiers! I see that you will be ugly in the future, and your mother will be happy and happy, I haven't seen her smile for a long time. ”
"My lovely sister, my mother has been worried that you won't be able to get married, and neither will you!
Don't always take your mother's words as a deaf ear, listen to persuasion, I don't ask you to become a lady, at least ...... Shoot the boys! Otherwise, who will dare to date you in the future? ”
Edgar spread his hands, made an aggrieved expression, and said helplessly: "Big brother, this time you are wrong to blame my sister, it is really not me who bullied him, it is he who took the initiative to ask to be my sparring partner."
Steinberg: He's been practicing martial arts, to show me his family's martial arts, to prove that he's the strongest boy in the imperial capital.
I'm still worried about him, I only used a lot of strength in sparring, but I never thought that he couldn't help but fight like this, and he broke his bones after two blows. ”
Prince Meyer took Edgar's hand and looked at her face again, feeling a great contrast.
A beautiful girl like my sister should have soft and delicate hands, but the palms of these hands are full of calluses from exercise, and the back of the hands is full of green tendons, where is this like a princess's hand? It's like a blacksmith.
"Hmm...... Maybe you're too strong, Edgar, sometimes I really envy you, and your mother's majesty has inherited all of your strength.
It's really too difficult for ordinary opponents who lack you, so you should find the masters in the army to practice in the future...... Or simply head to the Palace Zoo to find a big brown bear in the cold, and only that beast can compete with you. ”
Edgar became excited, and her lilac eyes flashed with light: "It's worthy of being a big brother, much smarter than me!" That's a great idea! Next time I'll try it in the bear house, I love those furry cuteness! ”
“…… Lovely? Those three-meter-tall brown bears eat people and don't spit out bones! Young Master William couldn't help but shudder.
"Oops, my lovely sister...... I'm just kidding...... You're serious......" Prince Meyer looked quite regretful, and he couldn't help but think of a scene; A few days later, in the Royal Zoo, the big brown bear was beaten by the princess and foamed at the mouth, and his heart was full of guilt, and he thought:
(I hurt you...... Big bear, I'm sorry, it's really a disaster...... )
By this time, the first dance piece has been played, the dancers have left the dance floor, and the musicians have begun to organize the score and prepare for the next dance.
Taking advantage of the break, several meritorious veterans went to Baron Victor with wine glasses to toast and congratulate him on his promotion to the rank of colonel.
Princess Rosemary took a noble sister by the hand and walked towards her siblings.
This noble sister has a pair of big lake blue eyes, ginger hair, wears the traditional floral cloth skirt of the steppe people, wears a fine mink hat on her head, and the boots on her feet are also full of grassland characteristics, which are a pair of sheepskin boots with turned fur outward.
"Brother Meyer, let me introduce you, this is my best friend - Sister Natasha,
She comes from a noble family in the steppes of the northwest, and is the daughter of our imperial marshal Ivan Darao, and her ancestors are the nomadic royal family of the Saker Golden Horde! Absolutely golden! You're going to be a gentleman, big brother! Be sure to be gentle with her!
Natasha, this is my eldest brother, Prince Meyer, he is the Duke of Santa Casrea, the president of free trade, you two should get along well! I'm going to accompany Victor to entertain guests, so I'll take my leave! ”
"Honorable Sister Natasha, can you enjoy the light and dance with me?" Prince Meyer politely extended his hand to the other party.
"When...... Of course! This is the glory of my family, Your Majesty! The girl replied shyly, she liked Meyer's mature and steady appearance, and with great joy, she took the prince by the hand and followed him onto the dance floor.
Seeing that the eldest brother had found a beautiful dance partner, Prince Constance couldn't sit still, he went to invite the senior sister Elfarit, who readily agreed, and the two chatted about algebraic formulas while dancing, they had a common habit, and from time to time they pushed the glasses frame on the bridge of their nose, which seemed to be very tacit.
Prince Maxim, nicknamed Playboy, certainly didn't worry about finding a dance partner, but he quietly hid in the bathroom, and the ball scene was a place of right and wrong for him.
Because he sees one and loves one on weekdays, and at the same time maintains an ambiguous relationship with five noble sisters, which makes these girls jealous of him, and it is embarrassing every time they meet, so he simply hides and does not see them.
