Section 246 Crisis of Empire (Part II)

The lights flowed, as if stepping back in time, just like the previous aristocratic gatherings in Asturias, full of extravagance and luxury, but it was the aristocratic gatherings of the Maide Empire. "Words * love * first * hair" ???? Small?saywww?.?1?x?i?a?o?s?h?u?o?

The party was organized by the Count of Canberla, who was a believer in Mara, one of the nine Holy Spirits, who was the goddess of love.

The Count of Canbella was a man of great temperament, but if he was not a man of absurdity, and legend has it that even if a fly flew in front of him, he could tell whether it was a male or a female.

Of course, this is a man-made rumor to slander him, but it is undeniable that he is very abusive and ****, many aristocratic women are said to have a little personal relationship with him secretly, one year this list is said to have leaked some, and the result almost caused an uproar, but when the name of Lula's granddaughter came out, the turmoil suddenly subsided, as if nothing had been born, and no one talked about it anymore.

Of course, it was the supreme patriarch who made a move, but not only did he use his power to stop the spread of others, but the Count of Canbella was also punished to a certain extent, he could have become a marquis, but since that year later, he has lost this opportunity.

After that, he was quiet for a long time, and it was only in the last few years that he slowly began to regain his anger.

He invited everyone to today's gathering, and by the way, he also invited Arya, who came to Celeordir, and Arya took the opportunity to bring Solomon with her, because she heard that General Redfield would also be there in person.

"Ah, it's better to be famous, Lady Arya, I've heard that your beauty shines in the sky like a northern winter, but when I actually saw it, I realized that this description doesn't convey half of your beauty at all. Canbella welcomed Arya, and naturally reached out to take Arya's hand, and it seemed that she might even kiss her.

Arya didn't stretch out her hand at all, "Thank you for the compliments and invitations, Count Canberra, but I'm not used to being too welcoming. ”

Canbera smiled as if nothing had happened, and looked at Solomon who came with Arya, "Could this be the scholar Mr. Mage who came to Syrodil with Lord Arya a few days ago?"

"It's me. It was a real privilege to meet the Earl of Canberra. Solomon smiled.

"Hahaha, I heard that you were made a little difficult, but I hope you don't mind. In fact, the people of Celeordir are very hospitable, and it should be the unfriendliness of individual people. Canbella laughed.

Solomon nodded and smiled, indicating that he would not take it to heart.

Canbella leaned over and whispered, "Actually, there is still a bit of a misunderstanding in the middle, it is definitely not aimed at Miss Arya and you, but someone has trouble with Yu Cen." Today is an opportunity, if you want, the main master will come in a while, and I can help you resolve it. ”

His voice was low, but it was just right for Solomon and Arya to hear.

"As long as Miss Arya is willing to meet with the master, I have no opinion. Solomon said.

"Okay, I'll see him alone in a moment. Of course Arya knew who Canberra was talking about.

"That would be great. Canbella took two steps back, clapped her hands, and said loudly, "Everyone, everyone." We welcome guests from Skyrim, Miss Arya, whose name you've all heard of you. ”

The men and women who had gathered in small circles in the sand, corners, and on the dance floor were caught up by Canberra's words, and when they heard what he said, they couldn't help but look at Arya in amazement.

Of course, the name Arya itself is not so sensational, but the Queen of Wolfheart family has ruled Lonely Castle for hundreds of years, and its influence on Skyrim Province can be ranked in the top three from ancient times to the present, so everyone naturally knows it.

Then came the usual ball of the nobles, and in the other room, a large amount of food was prepared. Traces are close to a buffet.

The buffet format has been around in Asturias, first to solve the food problem during the ball, and later many people liked this free way of eating, and there was a special cafeteria.

The ball in Canberra is clearly going in this direction as well. It is also to solve the problem of eating at the ball, so that people can go to eat freely after dancing for a while, he has a special chef to make all kinds of food and pastries, and put them in another dining room like flowing water, and those who want to eat will go to eat, and after eating, they will continue to dance. Or sit on the sand and open an aristocratic political salon, or be so energetic as to drag a woman to a corner of the garden to fool around.

This kind of similar exhibition shows that under similar conditions or needs, the exhibition of history and the process of civilization will be similar to a great extent.

The current Maider Empire is very similar to the countries of the former Teal 6, but the difference is that under the clamp of Edra, it seems that there is no opportunity to exhibit the results of Asturias.

Arya's arrival was eye-catching, and after surviving the initial surprise, her beauty was equally eye-catching, so some people dared to come forward and invite them to dance, but they were all rejected one by one.

"Miss Arya, are you coming to the ball and not dancing with anyone?" Finally, a man who was rejected was a little annoyed, of course his title was just a baron, of course he didn't dare to fire at Arya, the other party put aside the ruling position of Lonely Castle, Queen Wolfheart herself has the title of marquis.

But he was still a little unconvinced, and at the same time glanced at Solomon, and said in a dark voice, "Miss Arya must be looking forward to this Mr. Aglaven's invitation, right?"

"If it's Agravin's invitation, I'll say yes, because he's been very helpful to me and Lonely Castle lately. Arya said calmly.

There was an uproar among the crowd, regardless of whether Arya's words were true or not, but she rejected the others, but bluntly said that she would not refuse the man who came with her, and this favor was already obvious.

"So, could you please dance with you?" said Solomon, standing up and making a gesture.

Arya's face flushed slightly, and she extended her hand to Solomon.

The two held hands and came to the dance floor and began to dance together, dancing beautifully under the melodious songs.

Of course, Solomon used the dance of Asturias, but it was similar to the dance of the Meide Empire, although there were some slight differences, but the two quickly adjusted during the dance together, and the cooperation was very harmonious.

Arya's face reddened the more he went, and Solomon lost his mind a little in a trance, reminding him of a similar ball in Liberty City when he was younger, when he, Agatha, and Catherine were so young.

The crowd looked at Solomon and Arya with jealousy and disdain, but then the two danced better and better, and the other people on the dance floor stopped and automatically made room for them, while those who didn't dance also stopped talking and looked at the man and woman.

At the end of the song, the two slowly separated, but Arya still took the initiative to hold Solomon's hand.

The foreign lordess and marquis's affection for the scholar and mage became more and more apparent, but unfortunately it was destined to be a tragedy without result.

"Good, good. A sudden cheer rang out from the second floor, and everyone looked up to see the Count of Canbella and another tall, mighty man like a god of thunder standing upstairs near the spiral staircase.

As Solomon looked over, the man looked over as well, and the man took a deep look at Arya and Solomon, whispered a few words to Canberla, and then walked out of sight with his hands in his hands.

"Yes, it's General Redfield. Someone whispered.

"He's come to the Earl's ball, it's a rarity, he's never liked it. ”

While the crowd was talking, Canberla's personal servant went up to Arya and Solomon and conveyed Canberla's words.

Redfield's presence drew everyone's attention to Arya and Solomon, and the two quietly left, led by the Canberra servant, from the staircase on the other side of the first floor to the second floor, and then to a quiet room.

There were already people waiting in the room, in addition to the Count of Canberra, there was Redfield just now, another man was nearly middle-aged, ordinary in appearance, belonging to the kind of person who was not easy to identify when thrown into the crowd, but looking at his outfit, he was obviously an unusual person.

"This is Desmond, the deputy commander of the First Legion. Canbella introduced to the two.

"I asked Canberra to invite you here, because I had something to discuss with Miss Arya. Redfield Road.

"Haha, if you have something to talk about, I'll leave first. Canbella laughed, and left the room without waiting for everyone to be polite.

Redfield glanced at the two of them and said, "Miss Arya, I know that you came to Sailodil this time to figure out Guò Yucen to help operate and avoid the Skyrim Province from sending troops to fight." But I want you to give up this decision, don't trade with Yu Cen, and don't give him monetary and material support. ”

Redfield is worthy of being a soldier, although he is a veteran, he speaks directly enough.

Arya didn't expect him to be polite at all, so direct, so she had to frown and said: "General Redfield, please forgive me for not being able to agree to your request, because I have to find a way to keep Skyrim Province from directly participating in the war, the reason is that everyone knows that our population has been growing negatively for many years, and we can't afford to endure a large-scale war, what we need is to recuperate, develop the economy, and encourage fertility." ”

"No, I don't want to see Yu Cen have a chance to escape, this moth is a shame for the Empire. Redfield turned to Solomon and said, "Can you help me convince Miss Arya?"

Solomon hadn't answered yet, but Arya was already angry.

She likes Solomon a little, and she is about to show it on the outside, but this does not mean that she will definitely listen to Solomon in governance, and the reforms so far have been decided to obey by believing that it is beneficial to the Lonely Fort and the governance of the territory.

And she thinks that politics and governance are one thing, her private feelings for Solomon are another, if she doesn't distinguish between public and private, of course she will forgive herself, but Redfield may have seen it in the dance just now, and it is too simple and crude to want to use it so directly.
