Chapter 13: The Dinner Party 2
"Why are you the only one?"
"Jokola was pulled away. As soon as he heard this voice, Gell knew that it was Vivien Leigh.
Today, Vivien Leigh is wearing a pink evening dress, her hair that was originally tied up has been put down, and she is softly draped over her shoulders, looking a lot more mature than her actual age.
"Why do you have time to come here?" asked Gehr casually as he took a sip of juice and sat down after seeing Vivien Leigh skillfully fetch some dishes from the table next to her with a plate.
"Intermission. After taking a sip of the clear soup used to rinse her mouth, and spitting it elegantly into the basin next to her, Vivien Leigh began to eat, and it was rare that she could still speak clearly while eating.
Gell didn't talk to Vivien Leigh again, and it was clear that she had finally had time to get something to eat, and Gell didn't want to waste some of her precious time.
"Well, I'm finally comfortable. Vivien Li sighed: "I'm so lucky, one of my blind dates didn't come to work out today, or I really wouldn't be able to squeeze out time." β
Gehr smiled and didn't speak. He was not familiar with this kind of environment, and the previous Gehr was not at this level, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Let's go around, this hotel is the best in the city, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment." Vivien Leigh gestured to the nearby waiter, took a wet towel from the waiter, carefully wiped her lower lip, and then made a suggestion to Gehr.
"Yes, good. β
The dinner had already begun for a while, and the people in the hall were in a pile of twos and threes, and they all gathered together, some talking, some whispering. There are only a few circles with a lot of people, and I think they should be the ones with the highest status in this dinner.
"That's Jenn, the third son of the Grand Duke of Ferre, and the fifth-year senior of our academy. He's bad-tempered, don't mess with him. β
Vivien Leigh refers to the man standing alone in the corner, with long golden hair like a lion's mane that is very dazzling, and when she saw Vivien Leigh pointing at him, she also nodded at Vivien Leigh in response, but she didn't have the slightest intention of coming over to talk.
"It was Amisa, the daughter of General Camrow, and the man beside her was Royer, and his father was the owner of the hotel. β
......
Vivien Leigh took Gehr around the hall, introducing the identities of some people to Gell from time to time, and some of these people would talk to Vivien Leigh for a while, and some would just ignore Gell after just signaling, but the only reaction was to ignore Gehr.
Vivien Leigh was not at all surprised by this situation. There was a distance between a person of Gehr's background and a gathering at this level, and it was normal for him to be treated like this before he could prove himself.
"Vivien Leigh, it's been a long time, don't you say hello?"
Two girls walked over, one with red eyes and one with silver hair.
"Long time no see, Eleli, Sienna. Vivien Leigh responded coldly.
"This time I came to San Rotaro, but I have to rely on you, the landlord, to take care of it. The silver-haired girl Jie Li didn't care about Vivien Leigh's attitude at all, and said with a smile, while the red-eyed girl Sienna and Vivien Leigh's expressions were as rigid as Vivien Leigh's, and she didn't mean to come over to talk.
"Don't you tell me about your friends?" Agilee looked at Gehr below, her eyes sparkling.
"My classmates from school, Gehr. Vivien Leigh made a very simple introduction.
"I'm Griezmann Wolfgang Colbenson, from Jobnar County, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Although Gehr didn't want to get involved in the two girls who were obviously at odds with each other, the matter was on his own, and he came out to introduce himself according to politeness.
"O County of Jobna, I know that in the countryside on the northern border, I have heard that the scenery is very good. Jie Li covered her mouth and chuckled: "Vivien Leigh, I haven't seen you for a long time, your taste has changed." Okay, don't bother you, you continue, you continue...... Let's go, Sienna. β
Seeing the two girls turn to leave, Vivien Li didn't seem to be affected in any way, and said calmly: "The two of them are Jokola's cousins. β
Gehr shrugged his shoulders in understanding.
He had no intention of knowing what happened between the girls who had a discordant relationship, but Jokola's background surprised him a little, looking at today's guests, either the Grand Duke or the Marquis's family, and there would be a prince later, who could hold this kind of banquet, Jokola's parents would never be as simple as he said before.
And Vivien Leigh, if she can intersect with these people, where will her background be pure?
Vivien Leigh continued to walk, and Gell looked at Vivien Leigh's back thoughtfully.
"I've got to go beforehand, you feel free. Vivien Leigh stopped abruptly and looked in one direction.
Gell looked in the direction Vivien Leigh was facing, and saw a noble lady greeting her, looking at her face that was somewhat similar to Vivien Leigh, Gell guessed that it might be her mother.
"Okay, you go, I'll just hang out. β
After separating from Vivien Leigh, Gell wandered around the hall for a while, feeling a little bored, so he found a corner and waited for his target to appear.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door, and a group of people were seen walking in around a man, blond haired and blue-eyed, well-proportioned and powerful, with a modest smile on his face.
As the man entered the hall, several central figures of the large circle greeted him, and suddenly the entire hall seemed to be stirred into a whirlpool, and the center point of the whirlpool was this man.
This should be Prince Fayellino, otherwise there shouldn't be such a big battle.
Gehr mused.
Looking at this man, Geer's eyes showed a touch of solemnity. This man was different from everyone present, Geer felt a strong smell of blood on this man, it was obvious that the other party had killed people, and there were still a lot of them, that faint feeling of seeing human life like a mustard could not be imitated, only the kind of strong man who kills people like a commonplace would have.
Reckless today.
Geer secretly sighed, he didn't expect his target to be such a person.
Before the appearance of the prince, Gehr was so comfortable in the hall because there was no real strong man in this hall.
Although Gehr's physical fitness is still a little different from that of normal adults, and there are many people in the hall who can surpass the physical fitness of ordinary people, none of them have the temperament of a strong man.
In Geer's eyes, the so-called strong man's temperament is nothing false, it is just three simple points - can kill, can kill, dare to kill, only those who struggle between life and death are qualified to be called strong, and the rest are only worthy of being called strong sheep.
Gehr is in such a group of people, like a young wolf walking in a flock of sheep, even if there are sheep stronger and more powerful than him, but he will only survive between life and death. So even if those nobles looked at him with a sense of superiority, he wouldn't care, just like a man cares what an ant thinks of him? As long as he didn't deliberately provoke him, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
But this man was different, and Gehr felt an extremely strong sense of threat in him, which made Gehr have to be jealous.
At the same time, the man seemed to sense something, and turned his head to look at Gehr, and the eyes of both sides were intertwined, and they couldn't help but squint slightly. Then the man's head naturally turned to the other side, as if he was talking to the person on the other side, as if the eye contact had not happened.
But Gegel knew that the other party had already recognized him. This recognition does not refer to one's own identity, but to the equivalent qualification of the strong, just like two lions entering a hunting ground, it is completely clear to each other.
Well, I don't have to find a way to get close to him, he will definitely come to see him, but it saves a lot of trouble.
Gehr picked up a glass of red, yellow and blue wine and took a sip lightly, and began to calculate the consequences and countermeasures of all possibilities in his mind.
"You're here. Jokola's voice rang out beside him.
"Are you done?"
"It's over. Jokola let out a long sigh of relief, looked at the man who was surrounded by everyone, and said, "Drag the prince's blessing, my mission today is over." β
"Prince Fajellino?"
"That's right, it's him. β
"See that rose-haired girl?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"I'm getting engaged, and that's her. Jokola's tone was a little low.
"You hate her?" Ger wondered.
"No...... No. β
"Isn't that nice? It's the biggest advantage to not be annoying. β
"Uh...... yes, you're right. Jokola picked up a glass of wine and drank it down.
"I really envy your talent in archery, you have something I don't have. β
Listening to Zokola's emotion, Geer did not speak.
"I like archery more because my parents wanted me to learn how to shoot a musket, although I didn't have much talent, but at least I chose it, but this time I couldn't choose ...... again"
Gehr drank with the frustrated Jokola for a while, chatted about school and competitions, and then saw the betrothal whom Jokola pointed out to him come over.
"Mephis, my fiancΓ©e. This is Gehr, my classmate. Jokola also saw the girl's arrival and stood up to make an introduction to the two.
"Hello. β
"Hello. β
"What's the matter?" Zokola asked Mephis.
"I'll tell you that Emma and I are going back. β
"Oh, then I'll send you. Jokola turned to Gehr and said, "I'll go see them off first, you wait for me later." β
"Okay, go ahead. β
Gehr raised his glass and said goodbye to the two of them.
When the two of them left the hall, Gehr looked around and saw that there was no longer any sign of Prince Fayelino in the hall.
"It should be almost. Gell mused.
"Hello, sir, Your Highness the Prince, please come over. As Gel expected, it didn't take long for a waiter to appear at his side and bring a message from Prince Fayelino.
"Okay, lead the way. β
