Chapter 317: Humiliation
The birthday ball may be very fun and fun in the eyes of others, but it is very boring in Ryan's eyes, especially Ryan's three little people who stay in the corner and have no aristocratic status.
Speak, bless, dance......
The scene of chaos continued.
Half a day later, after the Lord of Amphina had danced her first dance with her father, many of the young people in the palace began to invite their dance partners to dance.
Very unexpectedly, under the greeting of Grand Duke Pev, all the elderly nobles and women present followed into the palace. Now all the young people are left, as well as a few middle-aged men and women who don't look very old.
Ryan was a little puzzled and asked Saresti next to him, and learned that it was the ball tradition of the Ottory Empire. Generally, after the dance begins, the participants will be divided into two groups, the older ones will enter the inner hall to drink and chat, and the young people will be left to dance in the outer hall. After all, with their parents present, it is difficult for young people to let go and are very restrained. It is only in the absence of their parents that young people can play to the fullest extent of their nature.
No, as soon as the figure of Grand Duke Peffer entered, more than a dozen young men dressed up more handsome than the other rushed to the side of the county lord of Anfina and courteously invited the county lord of Anfina to dance.
However, they were destined to be disappointed, and the county lord of Anfina didn't know what excuse she used, but she whispered a word, and easily let this group of hungry wolf-like young people take the initiative to retreat.
However, except for one or two divergent targets, this group of young people went to invite other female companions. Other young people are scattered all over the place. staring at the county lord of Anfina with fierce eyes, he had no intention of giving up at all, and seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to invite the county lord of Anfina again.
There were more than 200 young people present, and many of them came forward to give Anfina a blessing and then looked for a dance partner to dance with. It seems that in the eyes of many people, the birthday ball of the county lord of Amfina is just a place for themselves to have fun.
Ryan took a closer look and realized that he didn't know anything about the pair dancing with a man and a woman in the center of the room. He couldn't help but ask Katisha beside him, it turned out that the dance in the field was a kind of court dance. There are five types of court dances. It is divided into dances with different movements, speed and slowness, and in the dance, different dances are performed according to the musicians' music.
Ryan didn't ask any more after asking a few words, because he wouldn't jump no matter how much he asked. He looked at Katisha's eyes beside him. A little embarrassed, he could see that Katisha wanted to dance with him, but Ryan couldn't dance, so naturally he didn't dare to invite Ryan to dance.
"I'm sorry, Katisha, I don't know how to dance." Ryan said apologetically.
"It's okay." Katisha smiled, but Ryan could feel the disappointment in Katisha's smile.
Soon, several handsome young men approached and invited Katisha and Sarestie to dance.
Although Ryan and the three of them are standing in the corner, Ryan is wearing a wizard's robe, although he looks very abrupt at the ball, but Katisha and Sarestie are two beautiful and moving girls. Catch the eye of some young men. As soon as the ball began, the young men invited them to dance.
However, they are also disappointed, and both Katisha and Sarestie politely decline the invitation. Katisha is naturally because of Ryan, and Sarestie doesn't know why, I don't think she looks down on these young people who come forward to invite dance.
Seeing that the county lord of Anfina was busy dealing with the incoming guests, the three of Ryan did not step forward to join in the fun.
Finally, after the county lord of Anfina had dealt with everyone, and after rejecting more than a dozen young people who tried to invite dancers, he slowly walked towards the three of Ryan.
"Happy birthday, Amphina." Katisha and Saresti greeted her. He said affectionately holding hands with the county lord of Amfina.
Ryan also hurriedly stepped forward and said a few words of blessing.
The three women then chattered, but the Lord of Amfina was very attentive to the image of the public, and did not speak as wildly as usual.
Ryan watched and listened. He could barely interject, but he was quickly distracted by something else. Ryan discovered. He himself became the target of public criticism for no reason, those young men who wanted to invite the county lord of Amfina to dance, and after failing to invite him, he found that the county lord of Anfina was talking intimately with the three of Ryan, so Ryan, who was the only man among the three, was naturally regarded as the object of anger by this group of young men. All of a sudden, a lot of angry eyes were directed at Ryan, making Ryan's scalp tingle.
Fortunately, the county lord of Anfina realized that she was the protagonist today and could not leave the others out in the cold, so she didn't dare to talk to the two friends for a long time, and soon let the three of them have fun at will, and she went to other places to receive other guests. At this time, Ryan felt more comfortable, and those staring eyes disappeared with the departure of Lord Amphina.
Soon, the three of Ryan became a lonely clique in the corner.
The dance continued, with many people dancing on the dance floor in the center of the arena and others huddled in twos and threes to talk. Finally fed up with the constant invitation to dance, Amfina began to accept the invitation of one of the young men to enter the dance floor and dance. However, at the beginning, more people invited her to dance, it was her birthday ball, and she couldn't get angry, so she could only selectively accept some invitations to dance.
Katisha and Sarestie are also constantly invited to dance, Katisha still declines, and Sarestie accepts the invitation of a handsome-looking young man to enter the dance floor, leaving Ryan and Katisha alone in the corner.
It's boring to stand, and Ryan doesn't know how to dance, so he can only keep chatting with Katisha so as not to be bored, and taste the snacks offered at the Grand Duke's Palace by the way.
Before they knew it, Ryan and Katisha approached several men and women who were talking.
"Oh! It's the first time I've seen someone wear a mage's robe to a ball, and it's such a low-level mage robe. It's so thick-skinned, if it were me, I would have found a hole to drill in a long time ago. A slightly shrill woman's voice rang out. It wasn't loud enough for the rest of their circle to hear, and for Ryan and Katisha to hear clearly.
Immediately, the crowd of three men and two women let out a chuckle, and another slightly older girl covered her mouth and said, "No way, there are some hillbillies who still think that the status of magicians is noble, but they don't know that in the eyes of us people, they are worthless. ”
Suddenly there was a louder laugh.
Ryan and Katisha stopped, their faces became very ugly, especially Ryan, who was rightly said by this woman, he did think that the magician was noble in the wizard's robe, but it turned out to be a joke in the eyes of others.
Ryan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. I saw Ryan's angry eyes looking at the group of people beside him, and he had a posture of teaching the other party a lesson.
Suddenly, the two girls on the other side were frightened, how could they have seen Ryan's murderous eyes?
The other three young men's faces also changed, and one of the tall young men was even more angry, usually he was bullying others, where was it the turn of others to bully him? Ryan's provocative eyes simply don't put him in his eyes, can he not be angry? However, fortunately, this tall young man was afraid that this was the Grand Duke's Palace, so he didn't have a seizure on the spot, otherwise it would have been turned upside down.
"Look what, hillbilly, get out of here." The tall young man yelled at Ryan, not loud enough to attract too many people's attention.
All of a sudden, Ryan's anger surged up, the other party humiliated him like this, if it was somewhere else, Ryan would have stepped forward to teach the other party a lesson. But now at Lord Amphina's birthday ball, reason tells Ryan not to mess around.
Ryan couldn't help but step forward, he didn't want to step forward to do it, but to come forward to theorize. But Ryan only took one step before he was grabbed by Katie Sarah's arm beside him.
"Don't, Ryan, leave him alone. Bear with me, today is Amphina's birthday, don't spoil her birthday ball. Katisha said a little anxiously, Katisha thought that Ryan was going to step forward and do something, and once she did, it would cause a big trouble, and it would be difficult for Amphina to deal with it.
Suddenly, Ryan stopped, he glared at the tall young man fiercely, and said coldly: "Count your good luck." ”
After Ryan left a scene, he turned and left the place with Katisha and walked towards the rest of the palace.
After hearing Ryan's words, the tall young man did not get angry, but smiled and said to his companions: "Look, this is a hillbilly, and he dares to say this, if he is not in the Grand Duke's Mansion now, I will definitely make him look good." ”
Immediately, everyone burst into laughter.
Ryan heard the other party's words, but he didn't look back to refute it, since he decided to put up with it, he treated it as if he didn't hear it.
Soon, Ryan and the two walked away and continued their chat.
However, Ryan's forbearance only fueled the arrogance of the other party, and a moment later, the tall young man walked towards Ryan and the two with extremely flamboyant steps.
Very unexpectedly, this time, the tall young man did not aim at Ryan, but walked up to Katiza, made a very standard aristocratic salute, and said, "This beautiful young lady, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dance with me?" ”
The tall young man only had Katisha in his eyes, and he didn't look at Ryan at all, as if Ryan didn't exist.
This is a provocation, a naked provocation.
Suddenly Ryan was furious, he was humiliated by the other party's group once before, and he had already put up with it, but the other party still wanted to provoke Ryan, could this not make Ryan angry?
Without waiting for Katisha to refuse, Ryan stepped forward, blocked Katisha behind him with his body, and then said coldly to the tall young man, "You don't have an honor, she won't dance with you." (To be continued.) )
