Lord of Hyranza
Page 285
The hall of the castle was brightly lit, and some nobles attending the ball would bring out the young people in their families, and they would make friends with young people from other families at the ball, gradually cultivating their own social circle.
The Marquess Luther, Mrs. Marianne, and Mrs. Mabel stood in front of the hall to welcome the guests. Together with them, three daughters of Mrs. Mabel, three young ladies dressed in fancy dress, were watching those who came The young nobleman who participated in the ball had an irrepressible smile on his eyebrows.
In the past, Hathaway was usually the one who accompanied the Marquis Luther to welcome the guests.
Hathaway didn't stand at the gate at this ball, some nobles didn't know why, and thought that the wayward Miss Hathaway fell out of favor in front of the Marquis Luther, and some noble ladies who didn't like Hathaway Quietly gloating in the hall, they waved small folding fans in their hands, talked softly, laughed loudly, and tried their best to maintain their ladylike posture.
When Hathaway walked down the stairs, the hall was already full of guests. Dozens of waiters shuttled through the hall carrying all kinds of exquisite food and wine. As long as there were guests with empty hands, the waiters would They came one after another with trays for guests to choose their favorite wines.
Suldak did not walk with Hathaway, he and Beatrice came to the hall first.
He just woke up, and missed lunch and afternoon tea. His stomach is currently empty, and he needs to fill his stomach with something. If he walked with Hathaway, he probably wouldn't have the chance to eat at all.
Beatrice brought Suldak out first, and the two hid in a corner and ate a large piece of tiramisu and drank some apple juice. In order to prepare for this ball, Marquis Luther specially hired The top pastry chefs in Bena City came to make it on the spot.Suldak couldn't remember the last time he ate this delicious food.
Suldak was planning to put two lamb ribs in honey sauce on the plate, when the music in the hall gradually stopped.
The chatting guests also shut up one after another, and the hall became quiet, and everyone turned their attention to the balcony on the second floor of the hall.
The Marquis of Luther stood in front, and the two ladies Marian and Mabel stood behind the Marquis of Luther. The Marquis of Luther leaned on the railing with both hands. , and then slowly walked downstairs holding the hands of the two ladies.
The ball officially started, and the Marquess Luther first danced an opening dance with Mrs. Marianne.
Just when many young nobles thought that Hathaway might fall out of favor, when the second dance music played, Marquis Luther took his daughter Hathaway into the dance floor. A group of nobles invited female guests to enter the dance floor, and the sound of music gradually ...
The three daughters beside Mrs. Mabel pouted and looked at the dance floor with great resentment. Regarding the favoritism of their father, the Marquis Luther, the three ladies complained quite a lot on weekdays, but apart from being able to complain a few words at ordinary times, they could not give extra What to strive for.
Originally, the ball got off to a good start, but Marquis Luther took the three sisters to the door to greet the guests, which made the three girls feel that their spring might be coming, but when the ball started, Marquis Luther pulled Hathaway walked into the dance floor, making their hearts that were about to move were completely irritable.
Why do you want to dote on Hathaway so much? The sisters are not bad at all. Could it be because Hathaway has blond hair and blue eyes?Not convinced!
"Pay attention to maintaining a ladylike demeanor..." Mrs. Mabel stood beside her and told her three daughters calmly.
Now the hall is full of young people rushing to the dance, everyone is showing their best side, trying to make a better impression on others.
At this time, of course, the low-level expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred cannot be revealed.
The faces of the three ladies who were about to cry without tears immediately squeezed out smiles, and the smiles were a little stiff.
But he lowered his head and talked in a low voice, still talking about Hathaway.
"Why is it still her?"
"That's right! After so many dances, it's our turn. How can we be inferior to that cat-eyed bitch?"
"that is……"
The third daughter, you and I talked endlessly.
Even Mrs. Mabel was a little bored, she scolded with a straight face:
"Shut up, someone is coming, pay attention to your temperament, keep smiling at all times, don't always write your thoughts on your face!"
Sure enough, a word of cursing worked, and the three young ladies agreed silently:
"Understood, mother!"
The three ladies began to chase those handsome young nobles on the dance floor, but not all young people could catch their eyes.
……
At the end of the song, there was applause from all around the dance floor.
Suldak walked up to meet Marquis Luther and Hathaway. Marquis Luther smiled and handed his daughter Hathaway's hand to Suldak.
It was only when the surrounding nobles began to notice Suldak, and everyone began to inquire about his origins in whispers. There were not many young people who could be recognized by the Marquis Luther, and the Marquis Luther personally handed over his favorite daughter to him. This heroic baron made everyone even more curious.
Marquis Luther stood by the dance floor, said a few words of encouragement to Suldak, and was surrounded by a group of other nobles...
This kind of ball is indispensable for this kind of entertainment. The Marquis Luther will be very busy all night, and there are even two adjutants by his side. What was promised at the ball, Marquis Luther claimed to be a nobleman who kept his word.
Seeing Suldak walk into the dance floor with his arms around Miss Hathaway's slender waist, the information on Suldak was soon picked up.
Yes, the name Suldak is not unfamiliar to the ears of many nobles present, because they all signed their names and seals on a joint recommendation letter to His Majesty Charles. A knight named Suldak was exceptionally promoted to become a third-class noble baron. The reason was that he had made outstanding achievements and was a very rare paladin. He had mastered the magic perception of the holy department, which was equivalent to half a magician...
Although Marquis Luther compensated these nobles for a lot of resources for this joint recommendation letter, Baron Suldak did rely on them to become nobles.
So the name 'Suldak' spread to everyone's ears, and everyone knew that this young man was recognized by Marquis Luther, no wonder he got so close to Hathaway.
While the nobles were talking about Suldak, a group of ladies got together and talked about Hathaway—as the most beloved daughter of the Marquis Luther, she was not so perfect in the eyes of others, especially the upper ladies. In the circle, the main reason is that Hathaway was very rebellious during the time she was studying at the Benar Advanced Swordsman Academy. Marquis Luther had chosen a fiancé for her, and their marriage contract had already been confirmed.
It is said that it was a young baron in the city of High Lansa, named Sidney, who had no reputation, but the marriage contract was brokered by the Marquis Luthor and his good friend, Earl Mond Goss.Marquis Luther had also met Sidney, and he felt that this young man was not bad, aggressive, and talented in combat and command, but lacked experience and needed to be baptized in war. Marquis Luther thought he had a chance to become a lord, so That's what led to this engagement.
Almost all the nobles in Bena City knew that Miss Hathaway did not recognize Baron Sidney. This matter had been going on for a long time, and it was later heard that Baron Sidney died in battle on the Warsaw plane...
In fact, nobles are still very concerned about this matter. Many people believe in the wheel of fortune. Let's talk about the fiancé's death on the front line.
Now, seeing Hathaway and Suldak come together, besides being a little bit unwilling in my heart, I always have to say: Look!The green grapes on that vine are sour.
Chapter 619 Proposal
Suldak danced with Hathaway in his arms, and danced with Beatrice on the dance floor. Beatrice was much more open than Hathaway, and she almost held her hands tightly. Holding Suldak in their arms, the two of them stuck together without gaps and finished the dance.
Hathaway sat in a booth next to the dance floor with a glass of wine in her hand, and continued to reject the invitations of several young nobles with a straight face, but no one was able to muster up the courage to invite her.
Considering that Suldak didn't know the circle of aristocrats in the Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy, Hathaway and Beatrice declined the invitations of several friends. Instead of chatting with those young aristocrats, they sat alone Talking quietly in the corner.
Several young nobles who graduated from Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy in the same year as Hathaway had recognized Suldak at this time. Isn't this the one who beat up his group of people in Handanar City? Knight!
When they looked at Suldak, there was still some hostility in their eyes, and the others did not insist on inviting Hathaway and the others.
In fact, Suldak also has some friends in the upper aristocratic circle of Bena City, such as Viscount Kincaid of the Guard Battalion of Bena City and so on.
In the war on the Maca plane, many knights in the guard battalion knew Suldak, and they also knew that there was a knight in the Hailansa guard camp who was good at using the holy light technique.
This guard battalion knight was not only helpful on the battlefield, but also performed very well in battle, which made the Hailansa guard battalion, which was not very prominent, perform very well in the defense battle of the Maca plane, and no one Have any doubts about it.
After all... I saved your life, what else do you want!
At this time, a group of costumed knights with the badge of the guard battalion on their chests walked up to Suldak with wine glasses.Among the group of people, Suldak also saw the figure of Viscount Kincaid.
Kincaid stood in the crowd and raised his wine glass towards him.
The three constructed knights standing in front greeted Suldak with a smile, and the burly constructed knight standing among the three said eagerly, "If it wasn't for Marquis Luthor's ball, we probably wouldn't have the chance to do this." See you again soon!"
At this time, the one next to him was a little skinny, with two western rapiers hanging from his waist. The curly-haired nobleman pushed the burly knight away and said to Suldak, "Knight Suldak, do you still remember me?" Is it? You healed my injury at that time."
Several young nobles behind him burst into laughter, and one of them joked, "He saves so many people every day. When we carried you over there, you were lying on a stretcher, wrapped in bandages like a mummy."
Several female companions in this group of young nobles looked at the curly-haired nobleman in surprise, a pretty blonde beauty punched the burly constructed knight forcefully, and asked him in surprise, "Myron was injured so badly? Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"
The sturdy knight in costume held the fist of the blond beauty, and explained with a gentle face: "Injuries on the battlefield are inevitable. What can I say? Look, this guy came back alive and kicking!"
The curly-haired nobleman walked up to Suldak, put his hand on his shoulder, and said with a gloomy face: "Suldak, you saved me, I am very grateful, I owe you a favor, but to you I also have some ideas about some practices on the battlefield. At that time, there were two seriously injured Wojmara indigenous guard soldiers in front of me. I don't think they are qualified to receive treatment in front of me. After all, I am a nobleman and should have priority right."
The other young nobles burst out laughing.
Some people couldn't help standing in the crowd and taunted the curly-haired nobleman:
"Hey! Myron, you're still obsessed with that matter!"
"That's right, Myron... Aren't you here to express your thanks?"
Suldak saw that they were all wearing the badges of the Guard Battalion on their chests. It was not difficult to guess that these young nobles belonged to the Guard Battalion. Moreover, they should be a group of very close friends, and they had no scruples about talking to each other.
"Shouldn't chatting between friends just say what they have?" the curly-haired nobleman named Myron retorted.
In the end, the burly constructed knight patted Suldak on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Baron Suldak, if you encounter trouble in Bena City in the future, you can come to the guard camp to find us at any time!"
Suldak looked at Viscount Kincaid in the crowd, and Viscount Kincaid smiled and toasted him again...
……
Halfway through the dance, Suldak dragged Hathaway and Beatrice out to breathe, and left the noisy hall.
There are many colorful lights hanging in the back garden. The snow here has been cleared away. The colored lights reflect some snow walls, which is also very beautiful at night.
Beatrice let out a cloud of white gas. The temperature in the garden was a bit low. For the convenience of dancing, the two ladies did not wear much. They ran out of the hall with only a fur cape on their bodies. Beatrice hugged Suldak's arm tightly, as if it was very warm.
Seeing that there were almost no people in the clean garden, Hathaway also bravely hugged one of Suldak's arms, and the three of them were almost close together, wandering in the garden.
The back garden was right behind the castle, and the three of them walked into a gazebo without a roof. Some magic wall lamps were hung on the relief stone pillars around them, and the countless soft lights reflected the gazebo beautifully.
The gazebo was cleaned without a trace of snow, and there was actually a thick layer of velvet blankets in the middle.
"Oh my God, who would spread such a luxurious blanket here..."
"I think there are a lot more magic wall lamps here tonight than usual. I have been here so many times, and this is the first time I think this place is so beautiful!"
It was Beatrice who spoke.
Suldak walked to the gazebo alone, and took out a bouquet of pure white roses from behind the stone pillar. He took a deep breath, and strode towards Hathaway.
Hathaway turned her head abruptly as if feeling something, and saw Suldak pointing to one knee in front of her, handing out a bouquet of roses in his hand...
"If you want to marry me, please accept this bouquet of roses!"
Hathaway covered her mouth. She was obviously not mentally prepared. Although she knew that there would be such a day, she just didn't expect this day to come so soon. Then she turned her head and glanced at her best friend with a little hesitation. There is no second bouquet of roses.
Beatrice, standing aside, was on the verge of tears.She covered her eyes with her hands and said with a crying voice, "Quickly agree, fool!"
Hathaway bit her lip, without any further hesitation, she nodded vigorously at Suldak, took the white rose sent by Suldak, and pulled him up from the ground by the way.
Hathaway's eyes were as gentle as water, and she replied softly: "I am willing..."
Suldak took a step forward, stretched out his hands, and held Hathaway tightly in his arms.
In the next second, the terrace on the north side of the castle was brightly lit. The Marquis Luther, Mrs. Marianne, and members of the Luther family were all standing on the terrace, and they all gave blessings to the two people in the gazebo. Applause and cheers...
Mrs. Marianne leaned into the arms of Marquis Luther, and only then did she feel that Marquis Luther's whole body was tense. When she looked closely at his face, she realized how bitter his smile was.
And until now, Hathaway didn't know everything here. It turned out that Suldak had prepared it in advance.
And it seems that Suldak has obtained the consent of Marquis Luther. Hathaway pursed her lips. She wanted to laugh, but she couldn't help but wanted to cry. She hugged Suldak tightly. willing to let go.
As Hathaway's good sister, Beatrice also stepped forward to hug Hathaway.
Hathaway is still full of debts to her sister, Beatrice. From the very beginning, Beatrice never concealed her love for Suldak. Instead, she had a period of confusion, and now she Having gained this feeling, Beatrice stood aside and watched...
Hathaway hugged Beatrice, and couldn't think of any words of comfort for a while.
Probably wanting to leave some alone time for the couple who had been blessed by everyone, after the 'Luther family's relatives and friends' witnessed this extremely short marriage proposal ceremony, under the hint of Marquis Luther, 'Hula', Leave quickly from the terrace on the second floor of the castle.
……
Suldak stood beside Hathaway and Beatrice. Although he knew that the customs of the Grimm Empire were too different from his previous life, he still had a strong disdain for himself.
He bit the bullet and put a hand on Beatrice's back, summoned up his courage and said: "Beatrice, tomorrow I will visit Earl Coffelo. agreed to..."
Hearing what Suldak said suddenly, the round-faced Beatrice raised her head from Hathaway's arms, looked at Suldak with a pair of light brown eyes full of tears, and the next second... burst into tears for laughing.
At this moment, Suldak felt quite emotional: A woman's tears!
Chapter 620 Hit a Wall
Complete the proposal ceremony.
Even if Suldak entered into a marriage contract with Hathaway, he became Hathaway's fiancé.
Traditional aristocratic families attach great importance to wedding rituals, so before they get married, the relationship between Suldak and Hathaway cannot go any further, which involves the dignity of the Luther family.
In the middle of the night, the guests who participated in the ball had almost left, and the servants in the Marquis's Mansion had already begun to extinguish some of the extra colored lights in the courtyard, so that the lights in the parking lot were gradually extinguished. There were not many magic caravans left in the courtyard. , the Marquis Luther, Mrs. Marianne, and Mrs. Mabel stood at the gate of the castle and saw off the last guest.
Suldak bid farewell to Marquis Luther.
Marquis Luther was busy all night, but he still looked energetic. He patted Suldak on the shoulder and planned to drag him to the study for a few glasses of wine.
Mrs. Marianne was also very enthusiastic about keeping Suldak to stay in the Marquis's mansion, and personally arranged a room for Suldak.
However, Suldak knew that he didn't dare to stay overnight in the Marquis's mansion, so he could only bite the bullet and decline.
In the morning, he and Aphrodite found the hotel where they were temporarily staying. Aphrodite restarted the summoning ceremony in the hotel room, but from the morning to the present, he has been staying in Bena City for almost [-] consecutive days. Hours is already the limit of Aphrodite's summoning time. If she stays in Luther Marquis' mansion now, a void gate may appear in front of her at any time, and she is forcibly pulled into the void gate by the contract power of the summoning circle in.
In order to prevent that kind of thing from happening, Suldak had no choice but to reject the gracious invitation of Marquis Luther and Mrs. Marianne, and left Marquis Luther's mansion under the moonlight at night.
Suldak's judgment was absolutely correct. He had just turned out of the gate of Marquis Luthor's mansion when he felt bursts of void power pouring out around him, and a summoning circle had already begun to emerge under his feet. He dared not hesitate , quickly hid in the shadow of a high wall in the street, and as the summoning circle emerged from under his feet, a powerful void force sucked him into the void.
Under the shadow of the high wall, Suldak disappeared in place.
……
A door to the void in the treasure chamber opened instantly, and Suldak felt a powerful repulsive force pushing him out.
Suldak returned to the treasure chamber. The red dragon slept with its head lying on the platform of the treasure chamber. It probably felt the power of the void. The red dragon opened its eyes in astonishment and saw Suldak coming out of it. .
