The group of young nobles who got together with William, seeing William and I facing each other, all gathered around William, and the young nobles who were in the same circle as William had extraordinary backgrounds behind them, and they probably wouldn't mind stirring up trouble at the ball.Seeing their excitement and curiosity on their faces, they quickly gathered towards me, and William's cold face had a hint of ridicule on his face."
You're worried that you'll be defeated by me in that duel after the Summer Festival Ball, and you can't wait to bring the duel forward?"
I stared into William's eyes and asked him.William's face looked a little cloudy, he clenched the fist hidden in his sleeve, hesitated, and said to me with a gloomy face: "Although I really can't wait, but I want to see you live in uncertainty every day, under the shadow of the Dread Demon King, your heart becomes fragile little by little, anxious and sensitive. sense, maybe you won't be able to wait for a duel and you will be overwhelmed by the huge pressure. ”William didn't continue to argue with me.
"But I hope you can get through these hard days, or my fist will be disappointed." ”I guess William probably didn't want his friends to know about the duel, after all, a fourth-year magician bullying the freshmen in the academy was nothing to wrestle about.If you don't get it right, you may have to be teased by a bunch of friends.At the ball, many people's attention was attracted by the Prince of Wales wrapped in a halo of victory, and few people noticed the situation here, but it was Le Die, who was standing with Lucia in the distance, and inadvertently saw this side, and saw William and me standing together, and inevitably looked at me twice."
Hey, why are you here?"
Win Li secretly glanced at Lady Manda, and asked me with joy, and without waiting for me to answer, she secretly took me by the hand and led me through the crowd to the edge of the venue, as if I had entered her life, which made her a little shy, her face was slightly red, but her eyes were full of joy.Those young people who originally wanted to step forward to greet Ying Li were all ignored by her eyes."
Your brother invited me."
I took out the invitation letter from the Prince of Wales from my arms, handed it to Ying Li, and asked her, "Why didn't you see Helena and Becky?"
”"Ah, it's not like they have to be together every moment of the day, they occasionally go to do something of their own, Helena didn't know you would come, if she knew, she would definitely come."
She became like a red apple, and her eyes unconsciously glanced to the Prince of Wales.Wales was slowly stepping out of the carriage with Kig by the hand, and the delicate magic caravan was crowded with people in front of it, and everyone wanted to get in touch with the upstart of the royal family, Lala, and it was best to catch this triumphant train.Now that at least half of the planes controlled by the Grand Dukes of the Green Empire are in chaos and war, the Prince of Wales's march will not stop just because of a victory, and this royal Constructed Knights still needs to continue to go to other planes of war crisis, which plane this victorious army goes to, which plane is very hopeful to get out of the quagmire as soon as possible.This manor also seemed very familiar to Ying Li, she took me up the canal and turned a row of low tree walls, to the bottom of a big tree, the owner of this place actually hollowed out the heart of the big tree to make a lush log cabin, in the tree house there was a waiter wiping wine glasses, looking in from the window, the tree house was a row of wine cabinets, this is actually a tree house bar.It's a little more remote, with guests crowding at the door of Manor Square to greet the Prince of Wales, so it's a bit deserted.Ying Li and I sat down on a long chair cut from the roots, and Ying Li beckoned to the bartender inside, and said, "Joe, make us two glasses of sweet fruit wine." ”"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
The bartender said yes inside, and it looked like he knew Ying Li well.He didn't make any fancy moves, just poured half a glass of wine from a bottle full of fruit wine, then mixed it with some watermelon juice, added a little ice, and finally poured a thick layer of honey on the floating ice cubes before serving two glasses of sweet fruit wine.Ying Li told me the story of the wooden house and praised the bartender Joe's vegetable risotto.I asked her with some curiosity, "Did you all grow up in this manor when you were young?"
”Holding his chin in one hand and propping his elbows on the wooden table, Ying Li squinted and asked me, "Who else told you the story of this manor?"
”I said, "Sister Adele, she took me for a walk over there just now, and she also said that she liked to play in this manor when she was a child. ”Ying Li covered his mouth with his hand and said in surprise, "Do you know Adele?"
”I tasted the wine in the glass, and this sweet fruit wine had almost no taste of wine, only a fruit wine with honey and watermelon juice, and it was hard to imagine that this drink was made by a royal bartender.I said, "After all, we are in the same academy, and when we were training in the plane, I was in the same training team with her, so we got to know each other." ”The bartender came out of the wooden house, holding a horse lamp in his hand, and lifted the white cotton cloth cover next to the treehouse, so that countless stars of light emitted a faint light from it, and those faint points of light kept moving in the cloth cover, like fireflies.Ying Li sat quietly next to me, blinked and said, "She actually ignored you?"
”I asked curiously, "How?"
”Ying Li said casually: "She usually doesn't like to deal with people very much, she only likes to follow behind Wales, and even Le Die and I are not very willing to deal with them." ”Ying Li and I sat in front of the hut and chatted aimlessly, watching through the gaps in the leaves above our heads as so many stars in the night sky were gradually lit up, one, two, three, watching the birds in the forest take advantage of the glimmer of the night to return to their nests, watching the bartender Joe take out a gauze net around the tree house to catch fireflies, and throw them into the cotton lampshade whenever he caught them.Sitting with Ying Li, even if they don't say anything to each other, they will feel that time flies.The melodious sound of the piano was heard in the distance, and Ying Li whispered to me, "It's that the dance party is about to begin." ”I hurriedly got up from the bench, looked over at the ball, and said to Ying Li, "Ah, I promised Lady Arya to do the first dance with her. ”Win Li pouted small. mouth, sitting in a chair, whispered: "The first person to invite should be me." ”I walked out of the bar and stretched out my hand to Ying Li to invite her, "It's an honor." ”She smiled and tugged at my little finger and whispered, "I'm just talking casually." ”Ying Li can only talk casually, just after leaving for a while, Mrs.
Manda began to look for Ying Li in the square of the ball, she chatted with the ladies around her, and searched for Ying Li in the square with a keen eye, when Ying Li appeared in the crowd of the ball again, Mrs.
Manda retracted her radar-like gaze.Lady Manda has the clear lake-like eyes of the elves, and Le Die's eyes are very similar to those of Lady Manda, but she does not have the crystal clear and translucent pointed ears of Lady Manda, I don't know why, but at the first glance when we met, I knew that Lady Manda was a noble elf, not a half-elf like Lucia who only had elven blood.The nobility of the elves is innate, and nobility, elegance, beauty, pride and worship of art are the nature of the elves.Lucia's beautiful appearance fully shows all the characteristics that an elf should have, but she is not a pure elf family, but this does not affect the determination of those young nobles to pursue Lucia, Lucia is always surrounded by a large number of noble young people who take the initiative to be courteous, especially at such a ball, she is wearing a beautiful evening dress, and she can't carry her sword of Homenquis with her, without the magic sword to deter, those noble young people are eager to try, Looks like she's going to invite Lucia to dance.It is impossible for Ying Li and I to dance the first dance under the nose of Lady Manda, since Ying Li's aunt, Grand Priest Angel Boy, had already made her attitude clear three years ago and sent Ying Li back to the imperial capital to go to school.At this time, we must also take into account Lady Manda's attitude, if we really do that and annoy Lady Manda, maybe Ying Li will spend the rest of his study life in the elven world.Of course, I can't go out into the crowd over there, kick the Prince of Wales away, and then take Kiger's hand and do the first dance, but I don't say whether Wales will agree, and those families who have more or less dimensional wars will decisively help the Prince of Wales and bulldoze me with a pickaxe.Lucia is the most popular person at the ball, due to her beauty like that of a white elf woman.As the music began to play, the crowd around the Prince of Wales gradually dispersed, and Wales took Kiger's hand and stepped onto the dance floor with graceful manners.Maybe everyone is used to Qige's cold face, even in a remote corner, no one has any complaints about Qige, maybe in their eyes, the future princess-to-be next to the Prince of Wales has always been such a cold beauty.Others may not see that Wales and Kig had any communication during the first dance, in fact, from the beginning of the first dance, the two of them had some small arguments, but the two of them spoke very quietly, and they could not see the upper movements, and the conversation between the two people was completely swallowed up by the sound of music.When the dance was repeated, Prince Eric, the owner of the manor, took his wife's delicate hand and walked onto the dance floor in a graceful manner.Followed by some aristocratic lords with great status, but the dance partners around them are all beautiful ladies.At this time, I ran to Lady Arya's side as agreed, and Ying Li also obediently walked back to Lady Manda, standing behind Lady Manda, still unable to help but take advantage of Lady Manda's turn to talk, and her eyes fell on me through the chaotic crowd.Ying Li's expression was a little complicated when he saw Lady Arya chatting with me, but in order to deal with the questions that Lady Manda might ask at any time, Ying Li had to be careful and preoccupied, and then he didn't look at me.Whether it is the idea of male superiority and inferiority of the Green Empire, or the imbalance in the ratio of male and female populations in the Green Empire, as well as the huge population gap between men and girls, this makes it easy for the men of the Green Empire to be forgiven when they do something out of the ordinary.On the other hand, the women of the empire would not have such power.Obviously, the Greene Empire has called for the issue of equality between men and women many times, but it has not helped women's rights in any way.Lady Arya turned her head absentmindedly and chatted with the ladies as she looked out into the dance floor, looking a little flustered and afraid.A tall old man came over in a beautiful and luxurious dress, his sideburns were gray, his eyes were like eagles releasing a cold gaze, his momentum was extraordinary, his walking posture was sonorous and powerful, but his thin face was full of disgust, he walked to Lady Arya with a powerful aura, like a superior looking at his attendants, with an unquestioning gaze at Lady Arya, and stretched out his right hand.Just by looking at Lady Arya's eyes, it was clear that this old man was the godfather of Mrs.
Arya's mouth.
Duke Bussman.Seeing Lady Arya standing on the edge of the dance floor, showing a slight hesitation, Duke Ryan's eyes sank slightly, and he scolded in a low and short voice: "Hurry up, don't waste time!"
That unquestionable tone made Lady Arya's body soften a little, and her left hand involuntarily stretched out, wanting to submit to Count Ryan's order, her eyes showed a look of struggle, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, she looked at me hesitantly, and whispered to Duke Ryan: "I'm sorry, I don't want to dance with you!"
”All of a sudden, the surroundings became so quiet, except for the sound of music, dancing and cheerful laughter in the distance, as if all the sounds around him had been eliminated, Duke Ryan's face seemed to have condensed a layer of ice, he looked at Lady Arya coldly, and once again lowered his voice and scolded: "Do you know what you are doing?
Do you want a punishment at night?
”His eyes were like those of a ferocious beast, and when he stared at people, it felt like a knife hanging over his head, and if it weren't for Lady Arya holding my arm, she might have sat limply on the ground by this time.
