Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 114 Relatives
The girl stepped out of the carriage, her waist-length blue hair fluttering in the wind, and her long white skirt outlined her beautiful figure.
The white face that has not completely faded from childishness has a hint of redness, and the curved eyebrows and eyes have a curious gaze, carefully looking at the things around him.
Milne Devon looked at his daughter's curious gaze and chuckled softly,
"Let's go, my little princess. ”
Milne Lerella reluctantly said, "My handsome, charismatic father, I'm no longer a child!"
"In my heart, you will always be my little princess. ”
Devin smiled and raised his right arm, let his daughter support him, and walked to the villa step by step.
There, Ulysses was already waiting.
"Okay, but you can't do that at a banquet!" Lyrella compromised, grabbing her father's arm.
The whole courtyard, all the guests were full of tacit understanding, and quieted down with the arrival of Devon.
"My dear friend, how long have we not seen each other?"
Devon said with a smile, as if he didn't feel anything wrong with the other people's reactions.
"Ten years, or eleven years?"
Ulysses smiled rarely.
"Time flies, but you still look so young, are your brothers okay now?"
Devon looked at the guests around him, occasionally raising his hand to say hello, and muttering something completely unrelated.
"They are all very good, and it is really an honor to have you today. ”
Ulysses said with enthusiasm on his face, he had always had a serious expression, but in front of Devin, he changed his normal, as if he had changed people.
Devin and Ulysses exchanged casual pleasantries, and soon entered the main seat under his arrangement.
In the distance, Tonali's eyes couldn't help but widen, feeling extremely unfamiliar with this scene.
Andu patted him on the shoulder with some understanding, for Tonali, such a father should be rarely seen.
"Don't you have to go up and say hello?" Andu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's that girl!?"
Tonali was startled and looked in Devon's direction again, where Lerella had been standing beside him the whole time.
However, the girl's mind was obviously not in that circle, and the problem could be seen from her constantly flashing eyes and an idle expression.
Devon seemed to hear his daughter's heart, and quietly shook his daughter's hand after a small talk.
"My little princess, can you go and get me a glass of champagne?"
Lyrela's eyes lit up, "As you wish, my wise father!"
After leaving the adults' chat, Lerella quickly found a waiter and asked him to bring his father the champagne he "desperately needed".
"It's ordinary...... How could my father come here to attend this banquet?"
The girl thought a little bitterly, staying in the family territory all the year round, originally thought that the banquet she came out to attend would be different......
Looking at the girl sitting there alone, drinking red wine, Andu threw the pressure on Tonali.
"What are you waiting for?"
Andu reminded kindly.
"Maybe it's someone else? Wouldn't that be too ...... How rude?"
Tonali hesitated whether to step forward.
"You can also see it, although you are younger, but you can't afford to wait for two years. ”
Andu added indifferently: "If you don't go to talk, in case someone else preempts, there will be times when you are embarrassed." ”
Tonali's body shook, and his gaze, which had been dodging, quickly swept the audience, and immediately found that someone was really secretly watching in the direction of Lerella!
Without hesitation, Tonali pressed Andu's shoulder and said solemnly in his stunned gaze,
"I'm going!"
You're going...... Andu was speechless for a while, but fortunately, Tonali didn't drag the mud and water, and really walked in the direction of the girl immediately.
Seeing that his friends also went to find his love, An Du felt relieved.
What a great day!
At the banquet, melodious music sounded.
Young men and women dance gracefully on the makeshift dance floor, enthusiastically dancing their bodies.
This kid dances so well, why didn't he find out before?
The movements are accurate, the cadence is reasonable, and the feelings are quite devoted......
Andu sipped the red wine, occasionally looked at Tonali, who was already dancing with Larella on the dance floor, and commented seriously.
At the end of the song, Tonali politely invited the other party to dinner, but was politely declined.
Looking at Tonali, who was still walking towards him happily after being rejected, Andu gave a puzzled look.
"He's going to dine with Earl Devon~"
"Earl??" Andu looked at him in surprise.
"yes, you're right, it's no surprise that you're engaged to Lyrela, but she doesn't seem to know it yet. ”
Tonali gulped down the wine from his glass and grinned as he wiped his lips.
Andu frowned and said, "This matter seems to be a bit complicated. ”
Tonali looked around before continuing, "Looks like my father is really going to make a move. ”
Andu looked at him and said, "Mayor election?"
Tonali nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Not all, the mayor is just the first step, and the branches of the family have been too active in the past few years." ”
Andu made a statement of understanding: "So I'm preparing for you?"
Tonali smiled, "He's not very good, but he's still good to me, and Lerella ...... I think it's pretty good!"
Andu smiled bitterly: "Didn't you just meet someone?"
Tonali immediately retorted: "You know what, the charm of love is so unstoppable!"
"Well, you're going to get engaged, you're right......" Andu was defeated again.
"Okay, I'm going to report to my father too, you play by yourself first, and I'll come back to you later. ”
Tonali shivered as he looked at the front seat, the gaze that Ulysses cast from time to time.
"Go ahead. Andu laughed.
It wasn't until Tonali walked away that Andu turned his gaze to the main seat.
How could an earl come all the way to a small town like Halmar just to attend a banquet?
He is also willing to marry his daughter to Tonali, and he can only inherit the title of viscount at most...... Andu's gaze slowly shifted to Ulysses.
"It seems that our viscount, indeed his skills are extraordinary!" Andu couldn't help but admire in his heart.
It seems like a simple marriage, but there must be a great secret hidden in it, which is the truth he learned in the virtual world for ten years.
Any aristocratic marriage would have a great impact, and he himself received many tasks because of it.
Including lobbying, stealing information, spreading rumors, kidnapping, and even assassination!!
I just don't know what method Viscount Ulysses used?
Andu laughed to himself, no matter what, it didn't have much to do with him.
Besides, as long as it was beneficial to Tonali, he didn't bother to ask.
But to his surprise, not long after he went to the main seat, Tonali ran back again!
......
At the main table, Ulysses introduced his son with a smile on his face.
Tonali stood silently with his head bowed as if he were an honest heir, allowing people to talk and praise.
Of course, it was inevitable that his and Lyrela's eyes would collide, and as soon as the girl's gaze touched him, a large flush appeared on her cheeks.
Devin looked at his daughter's performance and nodded with satisfaction, a show of introduction is suitable for guests.
Tonali, who originally thought that this was the end, found that his father was still looking at him after ending the topic about himself.
The experienced Tonali quietly approached his father, tilting his ears slightly to keep as little attention as possible.
"Go and call Andu. ”
Tonali looked at his father in shock, and only lasted less than two seconds under the stern gaze of the other party, and then ran away.
......
"My father said please come over. Tonali looked at Andu with a strange expression.
"Why?" Andu said strangely.
"I don't know. Tonali was also puzzled and worried.
"What if something goes wrong at the front of the table for a while...... You must withdraw first, and you must not clash with him head-on...... I'm sorry for you......"
Listening to Tonali's words, Andu's heart was moved.
Although I don't know what Ulysses called himself, as a guest, it shouldn't be a bad thing for the host to invite him over, right?
"Let's go, it shouldn't be anything, you're making too much of a fuss!" Andu laughed.
Tonali wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked to the front seat with Andu.
The smile on Ulysses' face seemed to be fixed, and the whole banquet never dispersed.
"Father, I'm back. Tonali looked at his father nervously, not knowing what he would say.
The smile on Ulysses' face paused, and then he spoke, as before,
"Mr. Devon, that's what I'm talking about!"
Devon's interest was aroused, and he looked at Andu on the side with full curiosity.
What's going on...... Andu's heart was full of questions.
But the doubt did not last, and Ulysses said again,
"He's Roy's disciple, and Tonali is the best friend!"
Tonali looked at his father incredulously, is this still my father who only knows how to keep a straight face?
Devin put down his glass, and a pair of sparkling eyes stared straight at Andu, making him panic in his heart.
"I used to get along with your teacher, who was my best friend. ”
Devon's words caused a stir again, Tonali had been completely stunned by the series of events that had happened today, and Ulysses seemed to have known about it for a long time.
Lyrela, who was originally in average interest and never took the initiative to speak, heard this, but suddenly said happily.
"You're Uncle Roy's student?"
Andu touched the Ring of Pencia in his hand, trying to make himself look calmer.
"Yes, beautiful young lady. ”
On the main seat, the rest of the people had also heard of Roy, and they had vaguely guessed something at this time, but they all quietly did not speak.
Devin looked up and down a few times with satisfaction, and then continued slowly to Andu,
"Roy's eyes have always been good, and I am relieved of his student character, I heard that you have a good relationship with Tonali?"
Andu was stunned by the question, and subconsciously replied,
"He's my dear. ”
