Chapter 106: Prom 1
Out of the side hall, Gehr felt that in the darkness, several eyes that had been staring at him since he stepped into the side hall had disappeared.
They are all knight-level masters, and they are the kind that have seen blood, there may be long-range weapons such as crossbow machines, maybe there are more dangerous things, at least he smells the subtle smell of sulfur and engine oil, these dangerous smells are familiar to him. As an important member of the royal family, and a person who is very likely to inherit the throne, the amount of protection around him will naturally not be simple.
Now the potential meaning of the eldest princess is to let him stay in Bern temporarily, as for the purpose, Geer looked down at his powerful fist, thinking that he has enough value in one aspect for the eldest princess to value.
"Gehr, is it okay?" Seeing Gehr bow her head and remain silent, Lucarin asked softly with some concern.
"It's fine. Gell shook his head, patted Lucarin's hand, and walked over to the herald waiting for questioning.
The other party immediately respectfully led him to the banquet hall.
The way back seemed to be faster, and Gehr had some malicious suspicions that the attendant who had brought him to the side hall before must have taken him on a detour.
By the time we arrived at the banquet hall, the formal dinner had already begun for some time, and even if the eldest princess did not show up, the people attending the banquet were still in a lively atmosphere, and a circular plot in the center had been turned into a dance floor, where men and women danced to the company of music and the brilliant lights of the circular dome.
"Let's go dance one too. Wearing a banshee mask, Lucarin's expression was hidden, but the joy could be heard in her voice.
"No problem, I'm here to help. Gehr was wearing a bear's head mask. The mask also seemed to have some voice-changing effect, making his voice a little muffled.
Lucarine dragged Gehr onto the dance floor. I jumped to the rhythm of the others.
For social dance steps, people like Lucarin, who came from an urban aristocratic background, received special instruction. are all essential social skills. Although Gehr has not learned, relying on the super body control and observation skills obtained from practicing martial arts, coupled with the guidance of Lucarin, he followed the dance steps of others for a while, and began to become presentable.
With the protection of the mask, it seems that all kinds of barriers have disappeared, everyone is the same person, there is no distinction between high and low, and you can exude the true self in your heart.
Gell felt that Lucarine was the real her at this time. It may come back to the same state after taking off the mask, but now you don't need to think about it, and the most important thing is to dance to the music and enjoy this rare time.
The music was soothed after the end of the three dances, which was a time of time for the audience to take a break and socialize.
Gergarin pulled Lucarin off the dance floor and went to a vacant booth to find a place to rest.
"I'll get you something. Gehr took off his mask and his face was clean. The amount of exercise was not even a warm-up for him, but wearing a mask always felt like his senses were closed. Some of it was uncomfortable, so I simply took it off.
"Wine, milk hazelnut soup, soy beans stewed with cheese, and rabbit stewed with matsutake mushrooms...... also took off the mask, revealing Lucarin's sweaty cheeks full of healthy flushes. His breath was also short, but his eyes still flashed with excitement. However, most of the men and women who had just come off the dance floor in the vicinity were in the same shape as her, taking off their masks and panting. It's rare to see Gehr like this.
She also ordered several dishes in a row, and it seemed that her physical exertion was indeed a bit great.
"It's good. You wait. ”
Gell stood up and walked in the direction of the buffet table.
There weren't many people at the table. Most of the people who attend the banquet are more inclined to order some drinks and have a few chats with friends.
The small number of people is also much more convenient for Geer to choose dishes, and she quickly got the dishes and drinks that Lucarin ordered, and asked the waiter waiting on the side to bring them to her, and she continued to choose.
After taking some random dishes, Gehr picked up his plate and prepared to go back.
"Huh?"
On the way back, Gehr saw an acquaintance.
It was a woman with long hair and waist, she was standing there, black silk hair, green jade-like pupils, white pearl-like skin, and a straight figure like fir wood, as if she was the human incarnation of the moon goddess Ingrid, simply dressed in a simple white priest's robe, and that peerless demeanor would naturally make her the focus of the surroundings.
But there seems to be an invisible wall around her, and the eyes of love, jealousy, and admiration have always been able to reach her through the invisible barrier, but no one has the intention of trying to get closer.
"Yes, Carmelita. When he saw his companions who had fought side by side, Geer naturally stepped forward to say hello.
"Hello, Gehr. Carmerita turned, facing where Gehr was, his reflection rippling in emerald pupils.
"What a coincidence, you're alone?" Gell looked around, and there seemed to be more schadenfreude and surprise in the vicinity, but this non-lethal thing didn't even have the ability to tickle his skin. "Come and sit down, Lucarin is here. Gehr extended the invitation.
"Good. The goddess gave a positive response with a flat expression.
Ignoring the gazes of those around them, Gell and Carmelita walked side by side, and soon arrived at Lucarin's location.
"Carmerita, you're here too. Seeing the goddess who had returned with Gehr, Lucarine was slightly stunned, and immediately returned to normal, and warmly beckoned Carmelita to her side. "Gehr, go get some more drinks and food for Carmerita. ”
"Don't bother, give me some water and some simple food. The goddess added.
Gehr came to the buffet table again and took some light and simple food, as for the water, because there was no water on the table, he asked the waiter to get it, and waited for a while to get it.
As he returned to his seat with the food, Gehr noticed that there was one more person in his seat.
It was a handsome man with blond hair, no more than twenty years old, with rare bright golden eyes, and a slim white samurai suit, which looked like the prince depicted in romance novels for deep girls.
Soon, Gehr realized that this constant appearance met the standards of a prince, and even his identity was also in line with it.
"Gehr, this is His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince. After seeing Gehr, Lucarin hurriedly introduced him.
"Good night, Your Highness. Gehr put down the food in his hand and bowed.
"No need to be polite, you are Gehr, thanks to your help this time, otherwise if Carmelita has any accident, I really don't know what to do...... the ninth prince Ursula showed great enthusiasm, got up and pulled Gehr, and let him sit beside him. Of course, on the other side of His Royal Highness the Prince is Carmelita, who is like a lion who has carved out the territory first.
"It's over, it's just a coincidence......" Gell replied quietly.
Then the booth where Gehr and the others were located became lively, but Ursula spoke alone, and the others listened.
I have to say that Ursula's eloquence is very good, and the extraordinary resume brought to him by the two complex identities of a member of the royal family and a mercenary makes him very knowledgeable, and his mouth is the kind of thing that is substantial, not exaggerated, so it is difficult to arouse the disgust of others.
And the people around who were watching the situation here were also disappointed, and their expectations obviously did not happen as they had hoped. You must know that although Ursula usually has a good reputation in Bern, he is not a good-tempered person, after all, the kind of good man character in the mercenary circle has long been lost, not to mention that he also pulled up the famous Dragon Flame Knights. And about Camelrita, Ursula let out a message very early, wanting to deliberately approach Camelrita in front of him, then wait to prepare to deal with the greeting of his long sword, obviously treating her as a confinement, which is why no one dared to approach Camelrita before.
No one would be foolish enough to go against a powerful prince without sufficient interests.
When there was another commotion in the banquet hall, Ursula's "personal lecture" came to an end.
Princess Celestia Salorath is here.
She looked even more delicate in a luxurious evening dress, and the men around her surrounded her like flies that had seen honey.
Although Salorath is a little older, no matter her body shape and appearance, she is in the most beautiful moment of a woman, and she is not inferior to a young girl, not to mention that she also represents a powerful force behind her that can dominate the entire situation of Haysting, in this case, it is very likely that she will sit on the supreme throne, once she is favored or simply marries her, it can be described as a step to the sky, not to mention that she is still single now, even if there is a master, there are people who want to loosen the soil for her.
Seeing Saloras come in, Ursula politely greeted the other three people present: "The eldest sister is here, I'll go say hello first, and leave for the time being." ”
Waiting for Ursula to leave, the three of them were relatively silent for a while, and after a while, Lucarine laughed out loud, which broke the somewhat dull atmosphere. "It's hard, isn't it?" she said, of course, about Camerita, who had always been peaceful.
"I am a mortal who serves the god Ingrid, and although the body is on the earth, the heart is not on the earth. Besides, though my ears can hear the pure heart, they cannot hear a voice like this joke. Camerita's answer was clever.
"You're such a sad woman. Luccarine chuckled.
"It's good to have less trouble. Although Camerita's face was as calm as water, her eyes were curved like a waning moon.
Listening to the conversation between the two women, Gell smiled a little and turned his gaze elsewhere.
Suddenly, the people who had gathered around the honorable princess spread out to both sides as if they had hit the waves of the reef, revealing a strong man who had followed the vacated path straight towards Saloras. (To be continued......)
