Lorenzo struggled to finally crawl out from the cluster of flowers. The mixed fragrance and the chattering words were simply a pink hell.
Bending down, with the cover of the crowd, Lorenzo pulled Seleu to the courtyard at the back. It must be said that this place was extremely luxurious. The lights could not fully illuminate the courtyard. People were walking in the shadows. In the center was a pool of water covered with bright petals.
Lorenzo was a little confused about the happiness of rich people. Do they still need to go swimming in such a cold winter
There was a faint sound of music, and a poet was singing softly against the lush trees, casting a mysterious veil over this magnificent night.
Lorenzo was distracted for a moment, and the poet's appearance was unclear in the dim shadow.
“I never thought there would be a poet.”
Lorenzo was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly.
This is different from the poets who write poems. The poet in front of us can be said to be a bard, a profession that has been abandoned by the times. In the era when information transmission was not yet developed, bards were a very interesting profession. They sang stories from long ago, but now the times have changed. With the birth of telegraphs and telephones, people no longer need this ancient oral tradition. Even newspapers are more developed than it.
"What's wrong?"
Seleu asked, not expecting Lorenzo to be interested in such a profession.
Lorenzo shook his head to indicate that it was nothing.
Everything seemed so elegant and beautiful in the quiet courtyard. Lorenzo and Seleu sat on chairs beside the pool. It seemed that no one had recognized Seleu, the first prize winner, and Lorenzo actually felt a little lost.
But suddenly the quiet courtyard gradually became noisy. Lorenzo looked over and saw a middle-aged man slowly walking in accompanied by a group of nobles.
Although the distance was a bit far, Lorenzo could still feel the noble temperament. The clothes were calm and simple, like a sword without any unnecessary decorations. It was much more comfortable than those other flashy nobles.
Respectful and humble words continued to be heard, and Lorenzo roughly understood the identity of this man with his keen hearing as a demon hunter.
The initiator of this ball, Duke Salicardo, did not know much about this Duke Lorenzo. The only thing he had heard was that he was an economic tycoon. His family rose to prominence during the Glorious War relying on war profits. The family controlled several large enterprises and had factories throughout Inglvig.
This is also the reason why this ball is so luxurious, because this Duke is really rich.
In Lorenzo's mind, he has his own judgment of these big shots, such as the big shot sitting next to him.
The Stuart family actually had no power or assets. Their fathers had basically all died while fighting in the southern war zone. Even Seleucus was rescued from Gaulnalo by Lorenzo. Without her, the Stuart family would have actually been wiped out.
Although both rose to power through war, it is different from the Phoenix family. The Phoenix family has always maintained the continuation of its bloodline and continued to expand, while the Stuart family has gone through many ups and downs, and in the end there is nothing left except the glory of its merits.
