Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity
Chapter 329: There's always an "unexpected" dance party
Popular recommendation:
Duke Negan was wearing the admiral's uniform that once fit, holding a wine glass in his hand, and walked over with a smile on his face.
What is a little confusing is that even at the dance party held at his own house, the blond secretary and guards are closely behind Duke Negan, not looking sideways, and maintaining sufficient vigilance.
This is too cautious, is there such a fear of death... Louise sneered in her heart, and then said enthusiastically:
"Mr. Duke, thank you very much for inviting me to the ball tonight. I am honored."
Duke Negan waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to care, and then looked back and forth on Louise and Audrey, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Seeing the two equally beautiful young ladies from the north and south continents, I seem to see the source of the continuous expansion of the Loen Kingdom in recent years. It is precisely to allow ladies like you to easily enjoy the happy life today. This is the voice of all Loen people from His Majesty the King below."
Louise did not expect Duke Negan to say such a thing. She turned her head and glanced at Miss Justice beside her. The latter's eyes also revealed a puzzled look, but she was still very polite and polite. Responded:
"Thank you for all you have done for this country, Mr Duke."
Immediately afterwards, the two moved in unison and clicked four times on their chests, saying:
"Praise the goddess."
Duke Negan accepted the compliments from the two calmly and said with a smile:
"I hope you guys have fun. After a while, I'll invite the two young ladies to watch a good show."
"After all," said Mr. Duke meaningfully, "things like **** are especially prone to inexplicable accidents. This point must be deeply felt by the two young ladies."
After that, Duke Negan turned around and left, leaving no time for Louise to react.
After staring at the small eyes for a short time, Audrey frowned and said:
"Mr. Duke's state is not quite right today."
In contrast, Louise looked more serious. The smile on her face had long since disappeared. What remained was a solemn and serious look. She quickly analyzed:
"There is an unexpected dance."
"For me, it refers to the ball where Ambassador Intis was assassinated. For you, it should represent the banquet where Zilingus attempted to assassinate Duke Negan... Both banquets had accidents. The Duke brought this up to the two of us today, and why?"
"Is he foreshadowing that there will be an accident at the dance tonight?"
Louise quickly came to the above conclusion, recalling the deep gaze of Duke Negan just now, she was even a little worried about whether Mr. Duke had seen through his plan... But after thinking about it, she felt that it was impossible, Because the force that wanted to let Mr. Duke die is too powerful.
So, she said the question directly, stared at Audrey's eyes seriously, trying to get a response.
Unfortunately, Miss Justice also looked ignorant and seemed to be shocked by Louise's speculation. She shook her head and said:
"I'm not so sure either."
Then, she continued: "But I can ask my father Earl Hall, he may know something."
Louise nodded with a smile, and watched Audrey walk through the crowd to the center of the ball.
Afterwards, she drank the champagne in her hand, turned around quickly, and was about to find the maid and give her a few words.
Perhaps it was because of Louise's over-thinking that she didn't notice the footsteps behind her. After turning around, she almost collided with an elderly gentleman.
"Ah oh!" She let out a faint exclamation, and quickly supported the old gentleman's arm in front of her, avoiding more embarrassing things, and quickly apologized:
"I'm sorry, I was careless, are you not injured?"
The old gentleman's hair was all white, and it was growing unruly. He had obviously not taken care of it seriously. His face was kind, his face was rosy, and he was in good spirits. He held Louise's wrist, stood firm, and replied Say:
"It's okay, it's my old guy who didn't pay attention to the road."
"That's good, I'm frightened." Louise said politely, and then she wanted to leave, but her wrist was still supported by the old gentleman in front of her, and she couldn't break free.
"I don't seem to have seen you before?" The old gentleman, with a familiar personality, grabbed Louise's wrist, looked at her, and said:
"But you are a bit like my granddaughter."
Louise responded indifferently and said, "You have won the prize. Your granddaughter must be much better than me."
The old man showed a look of disgust, waved his hand and said:
"That girl is too wild, she didn't inherit my good qualities at all."
Then you also said that she looks like me. Are you complimenting me or hurting me... Louise pouted her lips secretly, and the figure of the maid soon appeared in her constantly wandering eyes, winked at her, and calmed down. After coming, he looked at the old gentleman in front of him and said:
"Are you a professor at a certain university?"
"Oh, how do you know?" The old gentleman seemed surprised, and inadvertently released Louise's wrist, and asked curiously, "You know me? But I've never seen you before?"
"I guessed." Louise said with a smile, and added in her heart: "Probably only professor-level researchers would be so sloppy to attend such a grand dance."
"Then you're very smart!" The old man praised and then introduced himself: "I'm the dean of a research institute in Backlund, Russell Means."
Louise also said her name, bowed slightly, and said:
"Nice to meet you, Dean Russell."
"Just call my name." Mr. Russell waved his hand and said, "The title of the dean is too official~www.NovelMTL.com~ You are not my student either."
"You are really an approachable gentleman." Louise choked a little, then politely complimented her.
Although Russell is very old, his mentality is very young. He showed a happy smile and said:
"I found another characteristic that you and my granddaughter are very similar to. Your mouth is very sweet."
Louise smiled, not thinking of how to respond, and suddenly noticed that Miss Justice was walking towards her quickly.
"Dean Russell, I didn't expect you to come to tonight's dance." Audrey said in surprise.
Mr. Russell stretched out his hand to smooth the thick white hair on the top of his head, but the hair quickly grew back, he smiled and said:
"Occasionally relax, stay with you young people, and I will become younger too!"
"You're still so humorous." Audrey replied with a smile, then pulled Louise to bid farewell, and walked to an empty space.
"Who is this Dean Russell?" Louise asked thoughtfully.
"He is a very high-level mechanical expert. He has participated in many construction projects within the kingdom, and believes in the 'God of Steam and Machinery'... Anyway, he is very powerful!" Audrey quickly summarized, and then said seriously:
"I know what Duke Negan wants to do?"
However, before Miss Justice's follow-up narration came out, there was a crisp knocking sound in her ears, which attracted the eyes of everyone present to look towards the center of the ballroom.
Duke Negan was standing on the high platform, his face was serious, and he glanced coldly at the many guests under the stage.
