Hidden Eyebrows is a person who doesn't give up easily, and she plans to go outside the next night to explore the wind - if she can get out of the boat. At the thought of this, she began to feel annoyed again, and after being refused, she had forgotten to go to the temple with Remasati and Shebo for the evening sin offering.

This meant that she would only be able to see Remassa until after midnight tomorrow, and the whole day would probably be wasted again.

She was so annoyed at breakfast that she didn't have the heart to eat breakfast, but when she opened the hatch, she heard Remassa's voice.

"Is there something wrong with my ears?" she whispered to Gina, by which time Xie Bo had gone back to sleep in his cabin, "I heard Remassa's voice. ”

"Idile heard me right," Gina had just come in with a black satin sack, "the Duke is not out today, and he is to be on the ship all day. ”

Hinty expressed surprise, and Gina told her that the Morris family was going to hold a feast for Hidejack on the ship today, in order to formally introduce her to the servants of Remassa.

"It's called the opening feast, and there is no turning back when the work is done, and when you finish it, you will be the one who has stepped into the threshold of Maurice's house with one foot, and nothing can take you from the Duke unless you die. So you're going to wear this beautiful new dress I brought you today," Gina glanced at her cat-eye green jacket with disdain, "I don't know why Shebo made you wear such an ugly dress······

"Opening feast, beautiful new dress-" Hidden eyebrows bitterly in his heart, "Terrible things always come either not or all come······"

Hidden eyebrows watched uneasily as Gina pulled out a large orange-red embroidered dress from her black bag, a pair of stiletto boots with two large hairballs inlaid on the toes, and a small beaded lace soft-brimmed hat of the same color.

Gina enviously stroked the large ribbon with a bow at the back of her waist, which looked rather gaudy in the eyes of her hidden eyebrows, "You are going to wear this dress to meet guests with the Duke." ”

“······ Can I still walk in this kind of clothing?"

"I'll lift the hem of your skirt behind you, and Edile must not wear such an ugly green jacket to a guest. ”

"I'm really starting to figure out whose vision is wrong now······" She muttered quietly.

"Put it on. If something doesn't work, I can change it, and my needlework is pretty good. ”

"Wear it now?" cried Yin Xinmei, "It's only eight o'clock in the morning, and even if the banquet starts at noon, it's too early." ”

Gina told her that it was customary, that she had to not eat or drink too much water, that she had to stand or sit in an armchair if she wanted to take a nap, that four maids would come to make up for her, and that she had to be "at her best" before going downstairs to the feast.

"Is there any emperor or prince who is coming?" asked Yin Xin sarcastically, she was not sure at first, but now she was determined to flee as soon as she saved Belen and them.

"I can't dress like a flower goose and live on a boat with a man who is eight years younger than me. She gritted her teeth and swore, "As for the temple, I'm sure I'll find a way to get back in touch with the Arons······ And be sure to completely bypass the forces of Remassa. ”

Gina, of course, couldn't hear what was in her heart, and she only regarded her pale face as a sign of overexcitement, because she felt that there was no woman in this world who would not want to marry Remassa.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Bo appeared, and she and Gina were going downstairs with Yin Xinmei, and she said, "The banquet is held at about four to half past four, and you should go down at this time." ”

The banquet was held on the saloon deck on the second floor of the cabin, and today coincided with the beauty of the day, the storm had stopped when the sky was slightly hazy, the sea was windless, the ice-blue sky was covered by a thin layer of cirrostratus clouds, like a luminous transparent curtain, the warm winter sun was warm and warm, and the sun at three o'clock in the afternoon sprinkled the whole ship with a layer of fine sand gold, and there was a harmonious beauty.

Opening the main entrance to the saloon deck is the spacious banquet room, which is covered with a brocade cloth colored with ox's blood and openwork flowers. In a rectangular rectangular place, there is a rather exotic walrus skin long soft couch, in front of the soft couch carved coffee table placed all kinds of appetizing desserts, a large armless sofa around the whole room, brocade cloth covered with the most beautiful beast skins, The skins are shiny and fluffy, and smell of wild animal oils, and here are the golden-maned highland lion skins, and here are the beautiful and colorful forest tiger skins, as well as the yellow golden leopard skins, the polar silver bear skins, the blood fox skins of the Rose Castle, and the ice-moss giant wolf skins, which are stacked or separated by intricately carved decorative firearms and swords.

The whole hall was gentle and fragrant, with long necked round tables scattered around the hall, filled with aromas and flowers, and half of the handsless sofas were filled with people.

Remassa sat to the left of the walrus fur couch, and to his left sat several people, the first was a middle-aged man with a single gold earring, his face was pale but quite handsome, next to him were two red-haired young men with similar faces, dressed almost identically to Remassa's, except that they were not wearing as many pearls and diamonds, a fourth yellow-faced man in his early thirties in a sleeveless embroidered vest and bloomers, with a large hooked nose that stood out, and the last one in a foxskin shoulder and a black burlap one-sleeved robe, with tattoos on his bare arms and a blood-dropping pattern on his forehead。

As soon as Yin Xinmei walked in, everyone's eyes were staring at her, the buzzing voice disappeared in an instant, she made up her mind not to pay attention to anyone, in front of everyone, while walking forward, while smiling and nodding to everyone, as if she had long been an old acquaintance with them.

Following Xie Bo's previous prompt, she should have sat on that soft couch, next to Remassa. So before she sat down, she made a standard curtsy (she had practiced all day), and no one answered her except the man with the gold earring, and the eyes of several men stared at her unabashedly, including Remassa.

"You are here to wait for the greetings of the ladies of the family. Gina whispered behind her, because she had come to Morris's house early and knew a lot of complicated internal relationships, and at this time Xie Bo poured a glass of sweet wine for Yin Xinmei, and the two maids were close to her, they had not participated in the bow banquet before, and they were also quite nervous at the moment.

"What are these ladies for?"

"It's the wives of the old men next to Crown Prince Morris. ”

"Who's that one with the gold earrings?" As if knowing that they were talking about herself, the man smiled again and nodded at the hidden eyebrows, and she hurriedly returned the salute, quite fond of him.

"That is Earl Gwen, the father of Crown Prince Morris, the closest comrade-in-arms of King Spleen Klin, who has no wife and no children, and has fought for the Morris family all his life. After the assassination of King Spleen Klin, Count Gwen was the crown prince's most trusted person, almost the second father. ”

"What about the pair that look alike?"

"The two of them were the Duke's best playmates and comrades-in-arms, the taller one was named Shape, and the other was named Stein. They were originally a branch of the Dokaven family, and the 'Decapitator Lusen' was the grandfather of the brothers, and later their father's generation broke away from the Dokaven family with all his men and returned to King Spleen Klin. ”

Yin Xinmei felt that the two brothers were quite defensive of her, and when their eyes touched, they unabashedly exchanged their heads with each other, and their eyes that stared at her from time to time were full of suspicion and vigilance.

"Don't you think they don't seem very friendly?" asked Gina in a whisper.

"They do this to everyone," Gina herself avoided the two brothers' gazes, "they have no other support but the Duke, so they are quite wary of anyone who will have an intimate relationship with the Duke, and Idile just ignore them." ”

"I can almost guess why their grandfather had a bad time with the Dokavens······" Yin Xinmei sneered and mocked, and his eyes proudly swept over the two brothers who were staring at him like beasts, "By the way, after they are converted, won't the Dokaven family have trouble with the Morris family?"

"The decapitator Luxon is a big trouble, and the Dokavens have long wanted to get rid of them, and you see, the man in the bloomers is the Marquis of Kitts, the current ruler of the Dokavens. ”

"The power and prestige of the Dokaven family are not as high as those of Morris and Udinei, right?"

"Yes, the family was mainly engaged in the slave trade, the casino, the smuggling of artillery, and the opening of brothels, but recently they have invented a game of hunting for the living, and have made a lot of money. ”

"Even if the noble prisoners of war are thrown into the hunting grounds of the mountains as wild beasts, many people will pay to enjoy the pleasure of slaughtering them," Xie Bo suddenly interjected, "The original identity of these prisoners of war is either princes or princesses, and the highest price is the head of the king of the free city-state, five million gold; if it is the Twelve-Nation Alliance, the price of the prince class is eight million gold, but there is no royal family of the Twelve-Power Alliance that has been captured to the head hunting ground of the Dokavin family." ”

Yin Xinmei suddenly thought of the eldest prince father and son, and her stomach churned, she must find a way to rescue them, otherwise this is very likely to be their end.

But how exactly is she going to convince Remassa?

"Idile, are you not feeling well?" Gina noticed her instantly pale face.

"It's okay," Hidden Eyebrow squeezed out a smile, feigning composure, "My corset is too tight, Gina will go pour me another drink." ”

As soon as Gina left, the tattooed man wearing a fox skin shoulder walked up to Yinxinmei, and without saying a word, he picked up her hand and kissed it, and Yinxinmei was covered with goosebumps, and the slippery feeling was like being licked by a monitor lizard's long letter.

"Dear Idri," said the man, smiling rather unnaturally, with a face as rough as the trunk of an old tree, "you are indeed like the legend of you, with skin like pearls, a swan in your body, and a chest like a mountain. His inquiring eyes scanned the neckline of the Hidden Eyebrow as if she were a cow to be milked, and the Hidden Eyebrow frowned, noticing her displeasure, "Do not get me wrong, we of the Essies have always praised beautiful women with the most unrestrained and gorgeous rhetoric, and if I make you angry, my sin will be great!" I sincerely apologize to you. ”

However, there was no apology in his expression at all, and his face was full of smugness.

"I haven't asked you for your name yet!" Hidden eyebrows roamed the room, looking for an opportunity to leave the obnoxious interlocutor.

"I'm talking about the Marquis of Juventia of the Essy family, you must have heard of it. ”

"Not really!"

"Ah, haven't you heard of the magic of Essie, which keeps you young and beautiful?"

"I'm not interested in magic or anything like that. ”

"It's a pity that your white skin is so beautiful, if you don't take care of it, it's easy to age faster than other ladies!"

Yin Xinmei felt that she didn't want to talk to him anymore, and was about to leave quickly without saying a word, pretending to go to the bathroom. At this moment a hand was placed on Juventine's shoulder, and Count Gwen joined the two of them.

"Lord Marquis, stop selling your secret witchcraft to the future mistress of the Morris family, okay?" Count Gwen smiled gently, but his eyes were rather cold, "Didn't the crown prince tell you that whether you come to a banquet or a negotiation, it is up to you, as long as you don't say a word about your gods and magic on Morris's territory, otherwise—remember the oath you swore at that time?"

"Calm, calm. Juventi smiled and stretched out his hands, "I just want to talk to Idille, don't you get so excited, okay? I'll go, I'll go—my God, you're still so bad······-grumble!"

Juventus left resentfully, and Gina finally showed up with three glasses of sweet wine.

"Idile, you can't get too close to that terrible Marquis of Juventus!" Gina said in a quick and low voice with a panicked face, "The Essie family is a group of evil black mages who will do everything they can to cast witchcraft on you, and maybe they will play tricks on you when they talk to you again!"

As soon as Xie Bo wanted to speak, Count Gwen patted Gina on the shoulder comfortingly, "It doesn't matter, I have warned the Marquis of Juwenxi that he is alone here, and he will not dare to attack the people of the Morris family." He looked at the hidden eyebrows again, "Idile, you are not hurt by the Marquis's words, are you?"

"I don't feel anything wrong with me other than being irritable and vulgar," she smiled gratefully at the Earl, "and thank you for helping me out." ”

"But you have heard what Gina said," said Count Gwen, with a serious expression, "you are indeed far away from the people of the Essies, who are a group of evil priests who sell the so-called Tantra at a high price, which is in fact an evil art from hell, and they also buy beautiful babies of boys and boys, and raise them to be young boys and girls who are not as beautiful as humans, and whom the Essies call the "Children of Bliss" and then let them look for all sorts of prey either in the circus, or in the troupe, or in the tavern, and these people will obey the sons of bliss after they have fallen into the witchcraft. ”

"There was a time when an entire theater of almost two hundred spectators was seduced by a seventeen-year-old daughter of bliss," Gina added, "and although the Essies offended the Udinei and almost three-quarters of them died, they were hell-bent on making a comeback." ”

"What happened to those who were seduced?" asked Yin Xinmei.

"Completely missing, no one alive or dead, no corpse. The only thing that is certain is that the souls of these people will surely be lost. Earl Gwen said with a gloomy face, "The Essie family is a group of people who trade with the devil. ”

"I didn't feel much evil emanating from the Marquis when I listened to him just now," Xie Bo finally spoke, "but the pupils of his eyes are unusual, and Idrilei must not look him directly into his eyes in the future." ”

"Your house of Aaron has been in the temple too long and has become sluggish. Gina was visibly annoyed by Xie Bo's calm attitude.

"But since the Essies are so wicked," asked Earl Gwen, "why do the Morris family still associate with them?"

Count Gwen didn't seem to hear.

At that moment, a sound of footsteps came from the outer deck of the salon, and a group of bejeweled women rushed in.

"Idile, the ladies are here!" cried Gina, "the feast is about to begin, and you must be seated." ”
