Chapter 2 It's like seeing a hat
"What's your name with your head down?" The voice was not loud, but all the young people in the audience raised their heads at the moment, and all their eyes were on Alice. The moment she raised her arm, everyone's hearts tightened, especially the young people who were pointing in the direction where Alice raised her hand, and they were all very excited. However, when they found that Alice's gaze was not fixed on them, the excitement in their hearts stopped abruptly, and then they reluctantly followed the direction of Alice's hand.
One by one, the young men looked behind them, praying in their hearts that Alice was just asking casually, and had no other meaning.
When they all looked at the outskirts of the crowd, they saw Gervais, and when they saw clearly what Gervais was doing, they were all relieved in their hearts, because they all thought that Gervais was a tease, when did you still care about eating, we didn't dare to eat even a bite when our saliva was about to fall to the ground.
I saw that Gervais was holding a piece of cake and eating it hotly at the moment, and there were still some cake crumbs stuck to the corners of his mouth.
As he ate, Gervais suddenly noticed that something was not right in the atmosphere, as if some danger was slowly approaching him. Gervais swallowed and swallowed the cake in his mouth. Then slowly raise your head.
As soon as he looked up, Gervais knew that he was going to finish today.
I saw that the crowd in front of him had separated, and all the young people looked at him with playful eyes, their faces full of schadenfreude.
Looking up again, Alice on the stage was still holding the jade finger and pointing at him at the moment, and her face, which had been unfazed, was already a little red at the moment, which should have been angry.
"That's him," Alice said to herself. Sure enough, when everyone else lowered their heads, he was the only one who looked up. And when everyone else was looking up, he kept his head down. Looking at the corners of his mouth and a little cake crumb, Alice was a little annoyed, how could there be such a person among the children of the courtiers. However, it was not easy to have a seizure at this moment, so I could only suppress my anger and ask again: "What is your name, whose family is it?" ”
"My name is Gervais Gale, my father is Gandalf Gale, and I am his second son." Hearing Alice's question clearly, Gervais did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied with a salute.
Originally, he wanted to continue to destroy the food at the table, but when he heard Alice start to speak, and everyone gathered around the high platform, if he continued to stand at the table to eat, it would definitely be very conspicuous, so he quickly picked two delicious cakes and hid behind the crowd to eat, thinking that it would be safe to come, but he didn't expect to be discovered.
Gervais thought that he was not alone tonight, and his heart was a little drumming, and he didn't know if the cold countess on the stage would clean herself up.
"Dear Earl, I'm very sorry, my brother has been stupid since he was a child, and he doesn't know etiquette, I hope you don't blame him, Earl." At this moment, Dries in the crowd suddenly spoke. Although he didn't understand that he had been a submissive since he was a child, how could his timid and fearful brother be so presumptuous tonight, and he also knew that he might anger the countess by coming out to speak without saying hello like this. But he still needed to come out and help Gervais say something. One is because Gervais is his younger brother, and the other is that he is worried that the countess will be angry with their family because of Gervais.
Gervais felt helpless, for the past month, he has been careful at home, relying on the limited memories he has received, carefully disguising himself, for fear that his family will detect that something is abnormal. Only today I left the field of vision of all familiar people, thinking that no one would pay attention to me, who knows which heavenly boss I provoked, I tried to make myself go wrong, I just wanted to come to eat and drink, but I was targeted by this countess.
Gervais felt that he would have to hide from this countess in the future, beauty is beauty, but he is self-contained.
"The son of Baron Gandalf, I have heard my father say that Baron Gandalf was the bravest of all when he followed him into battle, and you should learn more from your father, Gervais." Alice heard Gervais and Dries' words, nodded and did not continue to embarrass Grace.
Hearing the countess's words, Gervais breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded: "I will, Lord Earl!" ”
Hearing Gervais's response, Alice didn't answer again. It's just that he was thoughtful in his heart, and kept looking at this Gervais, he was not short, he was also considered to be in the middle and upper height in the hall, and he was also handsome, but his figure was a little thin, and the most noticeable thing was that he had black hair that was different from most people, but it didn't matter, this guy was the most annoying one in the hall.
Looking at Gervais, Alice was silent for a moment, and then made a decision in her heart, so she said in an affirmative tone: "Then you will be my husband, Gervais Gale!" ”
The young people in the audience froze instantly, their hearts fell to the bottom, and their faces, which were originally playful, instantly turned blue and white.
The cheap old brother, including Gervais, was also stunned on the spot, his lips trembling, obviously in disbelief. If he was to say that he was the most unacceptable person in the field, Dries could never have imagined that his cowardly brother would be chosen by Alice.
"So easy to choose?" Many young people couldn't help shouting in their hearts, originally thinking that they would definitely need to fight openly and secretly for a while before they arrived at the link of choosing the master of the famous flower, but they didn't expect it to be so fast, and before they could react, the famous flower would have the master, which was simply unexpected.
"Me? I...... Okay......" Gervais couldn't believe that he had ears, he actually chose himself, and among the audience, the one who didn't want to be the countess's husband the most was him, Gervais. So, Gervais subconsciously prepared to say, I don't want to, but at this time, a sound sounded in Gervais's head, and his traverser welfare was finally activated.
Bite! System Mission: Become the Countess's husband.
Reward: 1 energy point.
Note: Because the mission is released for the first time, after completing the mission, the system will reward an additional kiwifruit.
When I heard the content of the system task, Gervais changed the two words 'I don't want to' to okay.
What the countess said, in fact, it didn't matter if Gervais didn't object, and no one present dared to object, of course, even if he objected, it was useless. Everyone present, including everyone in the county, had to listen to her.
Looking at Gervais's uncertain face, the countess was only stunned. The countess waved her hand, and the maid standing next to her saw it, and immediately saluted the countess respectfully, and then walked out of the hall quickly.
Gervais's head was a little still, as if there was a big colored hat slowly coming towards his head, and he still couldn't hide from it. What's more, in addition to the hat, there may be flying trouble, because this countess is obviously forced to come out of this book, so childish to pick her husband, the status of the countess who is a few floors higher than his cheap father can not withstand the trouble, if it falls on his head, it will not be crushed immediately, now that the wood is in the boat, I just hope that the trouble is less.
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and Alice was not speaking. Soon, though, I heard a noise outside the hall door.
I saw a line of male and female servants entering side by side outside the door. Everyone had flowers in their hands, as well as some decorations, and began to dress up in all corners of the hall.
"Lord Gervais, this way, please! The Earl tells you to change your clothes! Just as Gervais watched the many servants come in and decorate the hall with flowers, and thought of some possibility, a male servant came beside him, saluted him respectfully, and then said to him.
After saying that, he made a gesture of please, and bent down ninety degrees to wait for Gervais.
Looking at the humble posture of the manservant, Gervais suddenly understood what authority is, the change is only in an instant, as an ordinary person in his previous life, he only understood authority literally, and he has never experienced it personally.
Before the crossing, he didn't say anything about an ordinary person, that is, in the month since he crossed over, the servants in his own castle would not treat him so humbly, after all, he was only a second son, and he was cowardly and timid, as long as he was respectful in words and ordinary in courtesy. There is absolutely no such thing as being as humble as the valet in front of you. And now it was only a decision of the countess, and the valets, who had not been so humble at the time, immediately treated him differently.
"Okay." Gervais didn't say much, since the matter had come to this point, it was all arranged by the countess, and he had to wait until he completed this task before thinking about it.
Under the guidance of the man, Gervais changed into a dress made of extraordinary materials and exquisite workmanship in a special dressing room. The size also fit very well, because Gervais clearly saw that there were at least five or six sets of the same dress in the cupboard, and the valet just measured the size for him, and picked out a dress that he was wearing in the middle.
In the process of changing clothes, the manservant was very conscientious, and even the clothes were put on by the mankeeper for him, but fortunately, under the strong opposition of Gervais, the pants were worn by Gervais himself, after all, Gervais's three views are very positive, and a manmaid helps him wear pants, what is this called. If a maid comes, he will still think about it, after all, he is still wearing bottoms, and he will not be taken advantage of, will he.
"Mistress Gervais, you are such a fine man, and this outfit is a perfect match for you. No wonder even the Earl has taken a fancy to you! After changing his clothes, the manservant slapped his ass again.
"Huh!" Gervais was noncommittal, the sycophant was too obvious, although it sounded a little comfortable.
Then, the manservant did not dare to delay, and led Gervais back to the hall.
At this moment, the hall has changed greatly, the hall is full of colorful flowers, especially roses, and in the center of the hall, which was originally free of clutter, there are five or six rows of chairs with backrests. The raised platform at the front of the hall has also been decorated. Shelves have been set up on both sides of the high platform, and strings of crystal chains are hung on the shelves, and the crystal chains reflect countless dazzling points of light under the illumination of many candles.
Under the dazzling high stage, there was already a lot of people, everyone was talking about something, and Gervais suddenly saw his cheap father, Baron Gandalf, who was also in the hall at the moment, surrounded by five or six middle-aged men, talking from time to time, with a smile on his face, and he didn't stop for a moment.
"Is this the rhythm of a flash marriage?" Gervais asked himself, afraid that the world he came from would not have such a play. Is this a child's playhouse? You're a count, count!
When Gervais walked into the hall, everyone in the hall stopped talking and locked their eyes on him, young and old, all looking at him intently.
To tell the truth, Gervais was panicked and wanted to turn around and leave, but the manservant bent down and respectfully opened the way in front, and he could only walk forward. It's really that these people are too cautious in their gaze. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were all focused on him, and those middle-aged men were fine, but their eyes were slightly complicated. The young men were all glaring angrily, their eyes full of jealousy, eager to rush up and beat him, including his cheap brother Dres, and among them all, only his father Gandalf looked at him with approval and pride.
"Let's get started!" When Grace came to the stage, Alice, who was sitting on a leather sofa, stood up, still in the same clothes as when she first arrived, except for a wreath made of flowers on her head, and she commanded the servant.
"Yes, Lord Count!" Hearing Alice's command, the servant next to him immediately moved, and one of them walked up to the high platform and said loudly to the hall, "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats, and the wedding between Lord Count and Lord Gervais will begin immediately." ”
With that, another servant led a priest dressed in a white robe with a badge on his chest to the stage.
Then, I saw Alice take two steps forward, walked to the right side of Gervais, lifted the slender jade arm that had been put on the hollow arm, wrapped it around Gervais's forearm, and then led Gervais slowly towards the stage.
Gervais was gently taken by Alice, and immediately reacted.
He stiffly walked up with Alice.
There was nothing strange about Alice wrapping around his arm, except for some physical contact when he first put his arm on it, and when Gervais reacted and his arm was in a posture to cooperate, the two no longer had any contact, Alice controlled the distance just right, and the others couldn't see anything unusual, and she and Gervais's arms wouldn't touch each other.
"This woman!" Gervais secretly said in his heart, this countess will choose him, it is entirely because of what she did today, otherwise it is impossible to choose him all at once, and it is more likely to take revenge on him, after all, she knows best what trouble the countess herself has.
Alice can't help but praise Gervais if she knows what Gervais thinks, Alice chooses Gervais as her husband, and there is indeed a bit of revenge in it, because she knows that after becoming her husband, whether Gervais is voluntary or not, she will take some risks. However, who told this kid to despise himself, when everyone else is looking forward to his choice, only this kid bows his head, for fear of being discovered by himself, and even more excessively, he is still eating, doesn't he have a piece of cake attractive?
Women are strange creatures, with strange brain circuits, and everything is based on their own thoughts, so Gervais is not wronged at all. In order to be less conspicuous, Gervais hides behind the crowd to eat, and is mistaken by Alice for contempt for her.
But fortunately, because of this incident, Gervais knew the use of his golden finger, and it was also a blessing for Seon to lose his horse.
