I'm a heartthrob in the wizarding world [Western Fantasy Elf]

She thought that sitting alone with Nate at a table would be enough to make her embarrassed enough to dig out a magic castle with her feet, but she didn't expect that an even more embarrassing and embarrassing situation was waiting for her.

Traditionally, the host gives a toast speech before the dinner begins.

Ye Qimeng didn't listen much. She focused all her eyes downward on the brown velvet carpet, trying to avoid the blazing gazes from Duke and Earl Hawke.

Knight didn't seem to notice anything strange about her. He just used the most standard sitting posture and smile to deal with his father and uncle. He seemed to be familiar with the way to deal with this kind of scene.

Unlike Knight, who grew up in this environment, Ye Qimeng looked like a newbie in social interaction. Her restless feet under the tablecloth revealed her inner fear.

She never thought that one day she would face the curious gaze of Duke Hawke. Although she was the daughter of another southern duke, she still showed an unconcealable greenness about it.

Unsurprisingly, after they finished their cliché-filled toast, they sat in the empty seats opposite Knight.

Also present was Duke Hawke's wife, Rowena Hawke, who was even more beautiful than what Leia had described in the afternoon. Even in a conservative and low-key dress, her bright facial features and rosy skin still make people unable to take their eyes away.

Ye Qimeng thought she looked similar to Professor Lu Linna. She also liked to use ribbons to tie her slightly silvery blond hair into a perfect and simple bun at the back of her head, and would leave a few strands in front of her hair. Hair makes her look more lazy and charming.

Maybe it's because they both belong to the Ulais family, which has a lot of beauties, and share the same beauty gene. Mrs. Rowena looks equally gentle and kind, and doesn't have any aggression in appearance.

Duke Russell Hawke has a serious look, and his unsmiling look is somewhat similar to Professor Samantha. This should be a major feature of the Hawke family, because Knight’s father, Earl Burhawk, Ed Hawke also had this look.

Under the gaze of all the guests, they were so proud that they did not express too much dissatisfaction with Ye Qimeng, who was an obvious "mixed race".

But the way they stared at her intently, it seemed as if they were not enjoying the dinner on the plate, but wanted to make her into tonight's meal and swallow them all into their empty stomachs.

Mrs. Rowena held the red wine glass, glanced at Russell next to her, then moved her gaze to Boyd next to Knight, and coughed lightly to remind them to pay attention to her image.

It's just that the two brothers were too focused on their own curiosity and didn't notice Mrs. Rowena's kind reminder, and their subconscious meat-cutting movements became primitive and rough, just like their true appearance behind the elegant appearance.

Ye Qimeng felt the threatening look, but she did not express her protest against it.

She was just curious about the reason why Knight brought her to the Hawke family seat, because his father and uncle were both crazy advocates of pure blood, at least in front of the public, they had such an extreme image.

"Nate, why don't you introduce us to your new classmates?"

Finally, Lady Rowena spoke up, breaking the deadlock that lasted for several minutes.

With a voice as gentle as her appearance, she soothed Ye Qimeng's fearful heart, making her even more fond of the duchess.

"I'm really sorry, it was my negligence. Please allow me to introduce to you, this is my classmate, Miss Qimeng Waiyi." Knight put down the knife and fork in his hand, and introduced Ye to them in a slightly apologetic tone. Qimeng's identity, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Mrs. Rowena changed her smile to a more friendly one, showing her white and delicate teeth, and spoke on behalf of the others: "We are pleased to meet you, Miss Waiyi."

"I am also honored to have dinner with you, distinguished Duke, Duchess and Earl." Ye Qimeng also politely responded to Lady Rowena's greetings, although Duke and Earl Hawke did not seem very happy. look like.

"Are you a student of Blackagu? Why am I not impressed by you." Duke Hawke - Boyd Hawke raised his question: "Why is your hair green? Do you have swamp blood? "

He seemed to be very concerned about Ye Qimeng's true bloodline.

If he knew that I was a pure-blood human, he would probably be furious, right? But I won't tell him my true identity.

Ye Qimeng thought with disdain.

"Green hair is quite special. It's such a wonderful color." Mrs. Rowena tried to ease the tense atmosphere again, but for the other two stubborn men, this was in vain.

Ye Qimeng felt that Nate was also very abnormal. He didn't seem to be affected by the cold atmosphere on the table. He just kept putting on his fake smile that showed no trace of sadness or joy.

"Father, she is a student of Whitefall. She is a genius recruited by Lord Davis. She has always been the number one among the freshmen." Before Ye Qimeng could speak again, Knight had already revealed all about her. come out.

She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that there was a malicious tone in Knight's words, especially when he mentioned "Whitefall", "Lord Davis" and "No. 1". It seemed that the tone was deliberately slowed down and emphasized.

"What? You're not number one!" Ye Qimeng was caught off guard by his sudden rage. Compared to the appearance of Whitefall, he seemed to be more concerned about the fact that Knight was not number one.

Boyd's anger caused his voice to rise unnaturally, attracting the attention of other students in the hall. They all stopped what they were talking about and turned their attention to the principal of Blackagu, Boyd Hawke, who never got angry.

Ye Qimeng found that Knight did not express fear or uneasiness because of this. He just sat quietly on the table and maintained a gentleman appearance, like an emotionless machine, staring blankly at Boyd's furious expression. look.

"Children, please continue to enjoy your dinner." Mrs. Rowena blocked the students' curiosity with a gentle and majestic tone, and comforted Boyd by the way: "I heard that Knight's ranking is still Among the top three, I also hope that I can have such an outstanding child, Marina’s spirit in heaven will probably be very happy.”

Lady Rowena's words were like a downpour, dousing Boyd's anger that was about to burst out.

However, the veins on his face were still clearly bulging, indicating that his anger had not completely disappeared, but was just forcibly covered up by him.

"Boyd, your children are really outstanding, and they even play with mixed races." Russell Hawke, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly used an extremely sarcastic tone to address Boy, who had already reached the limit of his patience. Ed scoffed.

"Nate, you know the rules of our family." Boyd still held back his anger and said to Knight in an indifferent tone: "Go back to your room and wait for me immediately after the dinner."

"..." Knight did not answer, but Ye Qimeng beside him noticed that his body was shaking involuntarily, but he did not show too many emotions on his face.

"Nate, answer me." Boyd ordered Knight again in a tone that could not be refuted.

"It's...father." At that moment, Knight was like a deflated balloon, and even his clear speech became slurred.

"You seem a little reluctant?" Boyd noticed Knight's emotional change and asked.

"No, father, I'm very happy that you care about me so much." He answered seriously, raising his voice.

Having said that, Nate, your expression does not match your words!

Ye Qimeng complained in his heart.

This dinner was Ye Qimeng's most difficult moment so far. She had no intention of enjoying the food on her plate.

Even though the mutton stew on the plate is the most famous delicacy in the northern region, it is cooked from black goats that are expensive and difficult to raise. Even the seasonings are selected from the highest quality natural plants. The whole dish exuded the original aromatic aroma, but she still couldn't finish the dinner with peace of mind.

Not to mention the next few dishes and desserts, all of which were automatically ignored by her brain and she didn't take a bite.

Duke and Earl Hawke did not continue the interrogation too much. Considering their status, it is not difficult to know the identity of Ye Qimeng. Why ask her as the client who may be lying? answer.

Lady Rowena just drank the red wine from her glass alone, and did not intervene as an unquestionable "mediator" among them.

Ye Qimeng doesn't care what these hypocritical Hawkes think. She just wants to end this weird dinner party quickly, go back to the attic room and have a good sleep, and forget everything that happened tonight. .

But she still noticed Knight. He seemed to be under a stasis spell. He was holding a knife and fork in his hand but his expression was unusually distracted. He had maintained this strange look for a long time!

Damn, why do I suddenly care about him? He almost killed me in Professor Samantha's class!

Ye Qimeng reminded himself all the time in his heart.

Isn't he tired? Damn, I'm actually a little curious about what's going on in this madman's head!

The more she controls herself, the more out of control she becomes.

"You...don't want to eat?" Looking at the delicious dishes being taken away by the attendants, Ye Qimeng finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and turned to Nate and whispered in a low voice.

The moment the words reached his ears, Knight miraculously blinked his deep blue eyes like a newly melted iceman, and instantly came to life from his frozen state.

The movement of his hand paused for a second or two, then he put down the knife and fork in his hand, turned his head and got close to Ye Qimeng's surprised face, pointed at the dessert on her plate, and whispered: "You don't have it either." Do you want to eat?”

"Ah? Is this the same? Or do you want mine?" Ye Qimeng was confused by his sudden rhetorical question.

Knight seemed to be amused by her sluggish look, and burst out laughing with a "Pfft--".

Even though he deliberately lowered his laughter so that the elders of the Hawk family opposite could hear their whispers, she could still hear the helplessness in his smile.

"Are you smiling helplessly?" Ye Qimeng found that she really couldn't hold back her words towards this guy.

"Maybe..." Knight said thoughtfully: "You know, we are the same kind of people."

"I don't think you and I are the same kind of people." Ye Qimeng felt that she was really crazy. She must have been infected with some kind of mental illness by Knight, so she seriously thought about this strange problem.

"Aren't we all mixed race?" Knight said bluntly.

"..." Ye Qimeng didn't expect him to be so direct. She really had no way to refute this question. She couldn't say that she was a pure human being.

"You see we are the same kind of people." Knight seemed to have become a talkative person, talking more than ever before.

"No." Ye Qimeng could only insist on his opinion so stubbornly.

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"...Okay, you win." She didn't want to continue this stupid argument.

Ye Qimeng viciously forked a piece of cake with jam on the plate and threw it onto Nate's plate. Even though she knew how rude her behavior was now, she still ordered Nate: "Eat more, you're too skinny."

God, I must have been infected with some kind of mental illness, otherwise why would I suddenly be so concerned about him not eating, even though I hadn't even taken a few bites of food myself.

She thought wildly.

As expected, Knight was taken aback by her behavior. But he was still so good at disguising his emotions. Within a few seconds, he returned to his standard smile and began to eat the small pieces of jam cake on the plate with a small silver spoon.

One bite, two bites, three bites...

Under Ye Qimeng's gaze, he ate the entire piece of cake that was ruined by the fork and looked a little ugly. He didn't even let go of the cream stuck to the plate, but he didn't touch the other items on the plate. dessert.

"Other people's food tastes better, right?" She could only think of this reason for Nate's unreasonable behavior.

"Indeed, your food can arouse my long-lost appetite." Knight replied seriously.

The blond hair on his forehead was slightly messy, covering half of his blue eyes, and his orbital bones looked particularly obvious due to his thinness, which directly made his eyes with long and thick eyelashes appear deeper.

After looking at Nate silently for a while, Ye Qimeng finally broke away from his eyes as mysterious as the blue ocean.

She didn't know since when, she fell into the emotion in his eyes.

She could feel his heart beating slowly. Compared to the beating frequency of a healthy elf's heart, his heart was obviously much slower than that of other pure-blood elves, but it was not as slow as a pure-blood human like her. .

He was somewhere in between, like a wretch trapped in a crevice in a cliff.

The metaphor suddenly appeared in her mind.

"What a pair of lovely children." It turned out that Mrs. Rowena had been paying attention to their every move. She watched them whispering intimately with envy, and subconsciously let out a sigh.

This naturally annoyed Boyd who was standing beside him. He put down the tableware in his hand, stood up and cleared his throat, announcing the early end of the dinner.

"Yeah, we can finally go." Ye Qimeng cheered excitedly.

"Nate, don't forget our conversation. You have been a little slack in your magic studies recently." With these words, Boyd left the dinner party without looking back.

Lady Rowena also said goodbye to them, and Russell just left the hall without even waiting for his beautiful wife.

"Goodbye." Ye Qimeng stood up impatiently, preparing to leave this extremely depressing place.

A long and thin hand grabbed her wrist, stopping her from running towards her friend.

"Don't go."

Knight was still sitting there, but his head was lowered. The messy blond hair at the temples covered half of his face, so that she couldn't see his expression, but she could feel his frustration in his voice.

"Uh..." Ye Qimeng couldn't think of what he was going to do, so she could only pull her hand away from his restraint and comforted him: "Good night, I wish you a sweet dream."

"It's impossible to have a good dream." Nate raised her head, her eyes full of sadness. She looked like a stray puppy begging to be taken in, which reminded her of Dao Ge.

"How could it be? God will bless you. You can go back to your room and sleep peacefully." She really couldn't do anything about the boy's fragile appearance and couldn't help but feel pity.

"Do you have to go?"

For the first time, Ye Qimeng saw the word "humble" on Knight, and couldn't help but wonder if the pitiful-looking guy in front of him was the originally high-spirited young master of the Earl's family.

She wanted to ask "What's wrong with you", but found that she really couldn't say such words to him, so she could only say regretfully: "I have to go back to the room to sleep..."

"Then you go."

When Knight saw that she was determined to leave, he did not continue to hold her back. He just stood up, bent down, put his thin lips close to her earlobe, and held her tightly in his arms.

The close distance allowed her to hear Knight's unique gasping sound. She subconsciously used her hands to resist his movements, but she could only give up because of the huge difference in height and strength.

Nate's hug was not as domineering and tender as Doug's. His hug seemed to be possessive by any means necessary, and he wanted to take everything he wanted for himself.

No matter how difficult the process is, no matter how tragic the ending is.

He is like a child who gets what he wants without caring about other people's feelings.

Just like the challenge he made to her before: the first place will eventually be his.

But these are not important anymore. Her mind is now occupied by another thing, and she can no longer think about the logic of Knight's behavior.

"What's wrong with you?" When she came back to her senses, Leia was already standing in front of her, shaking her hands in front of her eyes, trying to draw her attention back from the memories.

"No...nothing!" she replied immediately.

"Then let's go, Dunn and Chenxing are waiting at the door!" Leia eagerly took her arm and walked out of the hall.

Caught off guard, Ye Qimeng turned sideways and pulled his arm away from Leia's side.

"What's wrong with you?" Leia looked at the distracted Ye Qimeng with a surprised expression and asked with concern.

"It's nothing. I just thought that I have something to do with Nate. You can go back first. Don't worry about me." Ye Qimeng didn't take into account Leia's reaction. After leaving a word, he hurriedly followed Nate as he left. pace.

She only cares about one thing now, which is the whispers that Knight told her before he left: Your necklace is in my hand. If you want it, come to me in the room at the end of the fifth floor.

The moment he told her about the necklace, she was stunned for a moment, and then came the long dusty memory, which was forcibly recalled.

She only has one necklace, which is the relic left to her by the Duke and Duchess of White. Even though she is not their biological daughter, but just a visitor from another world, she still cannot give up that precious necklace.

Maybe one day the real daughter who is said to look exactly like her will come back, and then she will definitely want back the necklace that originally belonged to her.

What's more, there are photos of her deceased parents in it. These are precious memories. She doesn't want to leave like this without having anything to do with herself.

The busy attendants did not seem to notice her anxious guest running upstairs, they were just dealing with the mess after the dinner.

The room at the end of the fifth floor is not difficult to find, because the fifth floor has only one entrance via stairs, a large room at the end on the left, and a wall with oil paintings on the right.

She walked towards Knight's room with an uneasy feeling. She didn't know what would happen next, or what demands Knight would make to get her back the necklace.

After much hesitation, she opened the ornately decorated door, only to see a scene that shocked her.

"Say! Swear to God that you will defeat that damn hybrid! You will get that old guy Russell's dukedom!" Boyd's voice was so angry, and the belt he kept waving in his hand was beating Knight's thin body. 's back.

With his bare upper body, Knight looked even thinner than usual. Even the ridges of his spine were clearly visible. However, his pale skin was covered with large and small scars, some of which were freshly beaten, and some obvious old scars. .

Both Boyd and Knight had their backs to her. Boyd, who was furious, did not notice her arrival and just continued what he called "conversation."

"Why are you so crazy? You didn't answer my question!"

Facing the silent Knight, Boyd became more and more angry, and his strikes became harder and faster.

But Knight didn't even cry out in pain. He straightened his weak-looking figure and stood in front of the window like a broken doll without a soul. Only the muffled groan coming from his abdomen could reveal his current state. pain of.

Ye Qimeng didn't know what his expression was at this moment, but she remembered his attempt to stay just now, and the vulnerability on his face, which all came from here.

This was one of Knight's deepest secrets, but he unreservedly showed his embarrassment in front of her.

He really feels that he and I are the same kind of people, and he really trusts me.

she thought.

"What the hell are you crazy about!" Resolutely, she shouted with all her strength towards Boyd's strong back.
