As a polite gentleman, Klein, of course, would not stare at Allen's wife, he looked at the well-known surgeon and said:

"Good evening, Alan, what should you call him?"

Allen's cold temperament didn't change anything, but it didn't affect him as he handed over the beautifully packaged red wine and smiled politely:

"My wife, Verma Gletis, is a middle school teacher. ”

"Looks like you're going to be a dad again, what's the due date?" Klein asked, taking the other party's gift.

He had prepared Dr. Allen for a few new surgical procedures that had been reported recently, and he didn't expect that he would bring his wife, who was many months pregnant, to attend.

This was an unexpected surprise for him, because the unborn fetus in Mrs. Verma Gletis's womb was Will Ansettin, the "Serpent of Mercury".

Alan subconsciously glanced at Madame's belly, smiled a little and said:

"At the beginning of July, if you don't mind, I hope to invite you to his birth feast. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Velma, a gentle and beautiful black-haired lady, suddenly covered her stomach and snorted softly.

"What's wrong?" Alan blurted out.

"He kicked me a little bit, and it's quiet now. Velma said with a relaxed expression.

She immediately looked at Daun Dantès, smiled, and said:

"Because of my pregnancy, I haven't been to a similar dance party for a long time, and I always stay at home, and my mood is a little depressed, so I asked Alan to bring me over, although I can't dance, but I can chat with the ladies and ladies, and even find a gap to play cards. ”

"It is my pleasure to have you here. Crane replied sincerely, "I'll be attending his birth feast in early July." ”

He was unaffected by the small accident just now, and still remembered Dr. Allen's invitation.

After a few more pleasantries, Klein handed the gift to his valet Richardson and asked him to lead the two, nay, three guests into the hall.

He didn't have to wait long for a second pair of guests, Bishop Elektra and his female companion, still dressed in black clergy robes.

This is a girl who still has a little baby fat on her face, that is, she is in her early twenties, she feels very new to everything, and seems to be full of vitality, but because she has already given birth, she feels more mature.

"Good evening, Bishop, I've had a great night's sleep lately. Crane pretended not to know about the Night Church and secretly struggled.

Bishop Elektra immediately clicked clockwise on his chest:

"This is the blessing of the goddess. ”

He went on to introduce his female companions:

"My wife, Shauna Johnson. ”

Because he often met with Daun Dantès, and had been to the mansion many times, he didn't need to bring any extra gifts to the ball, which would have seemed too polite and distant.

"Hello, you're much younger than I thought. Klein nodded half-flatteringly, half-jokingly, to Shauna.

At the same time, he silently calculated in his heart:

I heard that the bishop was married two years ago, that is, his wife was eighteen or nineteen years old at that time...... That's a bit of an age difference...... In a few years, he may have to introduce the fat pharmacist to him......

Hearing the joke of Daun Dantès, and remembering the conversation during the visit, Bishop Elektra suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, coughed lightly, and responded in place of his wife:

"She's a lively person who doesn't want to miss a dance party if she has time. ”

Klein said no more, for he saw Lady Mary getting out of the carriage and coming to the foyer.

After letting Bishop Elektra and his wife enter the hall, Klein smiled and said to Mary:

"Ma'am, maybe we'll be able to work together next week. ”

The lawyer and accounting team he hired have completed their investigations and concluded that there is nothing wrong with Coim and that it is a good fit for investment, and has reached a preliminary agreement with the gentleman who sold the shares, a 3% stake of £12,800, to be confirmed next week.

When Mary heard this, she chuckled and said:

"I'm now my companion to you. ”

This seems to be a subtle discourse with a deeper meaning...... Isn't it a bit of a fancy for Daun Dantès...... Klein's heart moved slightly, pretending not to understand, and instead stretched out his hand and said:

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

After a gentle shake, he asked Walter, the butler, to lead the lady in.

As more and more guests arrived, Klein greeted them with warmth and humor as he recalled the topics and received many gifts.

If it weren't for the Faceling's instinct to remember what other people look and what they are, I would have been unable to tell who's who, let alone figure out the right topic...... It's no wonder that at times like this, the assistance of housekeepers is often needed...... Klein sighed with emotion when he saw Councilor Macht's family coming through the door.

He smiled again, stepped forward and said:

"Good evening, the starry sky is exceptionally beautiful today. ”

Councillor Macht smiled and handed him a bottle of Holland from an unknown estate and said:

"I've been in Beckland for almost twenty years, and I've not seen as many starry skies as I have this year. ”

"There is more and more hope. Crane turned to Lady Leana, "I heard you're looking for a boarding school for Miss Hazel?"

Liana glanced at her daughter who was standing beside her, with a cold expression and only a polite smile, and said:

"Schooling is becoming more and more popular now, also for women, and most importantly, maybe Hazel will be able to make more friends, but unfortunately she doesn't seem to be happy with us. ”

In Beckland, upper-class girls' boarding schools have emerged, providing education that may not be comparable to that of hometeachers, but has created a social circle.

For such a boarding school, the tuition fee alone is about £500 per year.

What she was reluctant to do was probably the sewers here...... Klein sneered, chatted slightly, and let Councillor Mahert's family into the hall.

When the time was almost complete, he was no longer equal to the foyer, walked to the second floor, stood behind the railing facing the doorway, and motioned for the invited band to pause.

Crane, who was holding a glass of champagne, looked around, and after all the guests had looked over, he spoke loudly:

"It's a pleasure for you to be here at this ball, first of all, thank you, Goddess, and secondly, thank you......

"I've prepared some music and food for everyone, I hope you can enjoy it......"

After a brief speech, Klein descended the stairs to the dance floor in the lobby on the first floor, ready to invite the ladies to the opening dance.

Normally, at the beginning of the dance, the married host must be looking for his spouse, and the unmarried man and woman either dance with their relatives of the opposite sex, or invite the object of their affection, which belongs to an alternative blind date, but Dawn Dantès has no relatives here, and has no suitable target for the time being, which is a little embarrassing in this matter.

However, he has an experienced butler, and Walter has invited an upper-class courtesan in advance, and the opening dance with her is at best a bit of an affair that is not reminiscent of a relationship.

So, without any psychological burden, Crane looked at the lady named Olori, and walked towards her step by step.

The lady was a widow, and had quite good friendships with several of Beckland's high society, and mixed fairly well in the circle, and of course, she was very unpopular with women, and anyone who had a little status in her own right looked down on her.

But no matter what, Aurora is quite good in terms of femininity and her own temperament, especially her figure, convex and backward, and charming curves, if it weren't for her appearance, she could only be regarded as a good look, and she belonged to the durable type, Klein would have wondered if she was a witch.

"Ma'am, is it an honor to invite you to dance?" Klein followed the instructions of his etiquette teacher, Vahanna, and showed his posture without a single flaw.

The blonde Oloria smiled, stretched out her palm and said:

"You are a gentleman who cannot be refused. ”

...... That's a bit ambiguous...... Her identity and the role she plays in social situations dictate that she cannot be as subtle as most young ladies and ladies...... Klein pulled each other onto the dance floor and danced to a country-like tune.

- The aristocracy had land, estates, and castles in the countryside, and lived there for several months every year, so country music was one of the mainstreams in the social scene of high society.

"You're dancing so well, I can't believe you couldn't have danced before if it hadn't been mentioned by Vahana. O'Lori deliberately kept the two close together, breathing audibly as the dance moves around.

Because the other party was a stranger, Klein was a little uncomfortable with this kind of distance contact, but he couldn't push the lady away under everyone's gaze, so he had to smile and laugh:

"It's just not going to jump like this.

"Actually, I'm pretty good at the more casual dances of Desey Bay and the South Continent. ”

"I also love those dances, they have power, they are passionate, and they dance for themselves and not others. Aurori found the topic, twisting her body, and seemed very close to Dawn Dantès.

Near the end of the opening dance, she suddenly lowered her voice and smiled:

"If I hadn't heard some rumors, I would have even thought that you didn't like women and felt a little stiff.

"I don't doubt it now, though. ”

As she spoke, she glanced down.

Klein is actually quite embarrassed inside, the other party is really very good at using his body and language to create an ambiguous atmosphere, but Dawn Dantès is an experienced person, and he must not admit it on the surface.

He smiled naturally and said:

"It's stiff because it's not used to the social scene of Beckland. ”

"I can teach you. Aurora chuckled.

At this point, just as the music ended, she took a step back, winked and smiled:

"You were really welcoming. ”

This pun made Klein almost blush with embarrassment, and he really began to wonder if the other party had something to do with the witch.

Still, he bowed and returned Olori to her original position, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Lady Verma Gletis, pregnant with the "Mercury Serpent", walking to the side table, seemingly aiming for the first batch of ice cream.
