While Roja was under the storm of Noelle on the open-air balcony at the top of Celta Pavilion, Charlotte Sorovia faced a severe challenge on another battlefield.
This evening, a dinner party was also held in the Carlos Hall of the second manor in Sorovia, but unlike the dinner where Noelle and Roja supported each other, Sorovia’s dinner was quite serious. And unusually polite.
There was only one invitee for this dinner, that was Kadia Akat, the Patriarch of the Acate family, and the inviter was Bruce Soofia, but this was not a secret meeting of two people, but a third party. Accompanied by others.
At the dining table, the brown-red-haired girl dines with proper etiquette. In her ears are the voices of the two patrons chatting from time to time. From the exchanges between yesterday and now, Bruce and Cartier are already quite familiar, so the conversation is also A lot easier.
"Marquis Cartier, the weather on your side this year seems to be better compared to the past."
"Indeed, this winter has not been as cold as it used to be, but the snowfall has not been less, and the weather on Rose's side is still stable. Presumably, the grain output this year should be good."
"Haha, it is true. Our Ministry of Agriculture also expects this year to be a bumper year."
Bruce took a sip of the drink and said with a smile, his eyes turned slightly to one side, he glanced at Charlotte, who was obviously a little nervous compared to usual, and sighed with insignificance.
Now that the dinner is going to the dessert stage, the three people at the table are basically chatting, and after a long period of preparation and closer relationship, Bruce has also begun to work hard.
"Marquis Cartier, I am very sorry for this incident. Charlotte is too concerned about Roja, so he did this on impulse."
"Haha, Mr. Bruce doesn't need to apologize. Our family's Alisha is the one who has always been obsessed with Roja. This time we have to apologize to the host, Rose, for this ridiculous thing.
"The Marquis of Cardia is too polite. The success of bringing Roja back to Rose's treatment this time is thanks to Miss Alisa. Roja and Charlotte have recovered many ancient techniques of the Sofia Kingdom in the ruins. Our benefactor, his physical recovery is our most sincere wish."
The words of the two fathers were brought back and forth in the laughter, which also made Charlotte's face a little paler. In the words of Count Cardia, he unabashedly supported his adopted daughter. It is clear and easy to understand, and the most important thing is that Charlotte did not hear anything about the marriage contract from him.
Under Noelle’s intervention, the marriage contract between the two is now dead in name. This is certain. After this change, Charlotte seems to have a name left, but it is actually a blood loss. Yes, because in the absence of the coercive force of the marriage contract, the other two people have the approval of Roja's father Kadia, which is far superior to her.
There is no doubt that this is an unfair competition.
Although Luo Ya is a person who doesn’t pay much attention to these things, the teenager pays more attention to the most direct feelings when getting along with others, but falling in love and getting married are two different things. Once you talk about marriage, Katia is inevitable. Mountains.
After understanding this, Charlotte naturally did not dare to act rashly, and decisively approached Bruce to hope to solve the matter, but so far, Kardia's attitude has not changed.
"This time Roja helped our Sorovia family retrieve important historical relics, many of which we have searched for for hundreds of years to no avail. I think this means that the friendship between our two families has reached a destiny moment. Go further."
"Hahaha, Mr. Bruce is absurd. The Loyana child is only following the guidelines of the bloodline. It is unexpected and reasonable to be able to help find Sorophia’s target curse. As for the further cooperation between our two families, I am Agree, the economic development of the Acate is inseparable from the assistance and support of Roya."
Under Cardia's humble and polite change of subject, Bruce smiled on his face but felt helpless in his heart, and on the other side Charlotte was completely at a loss.
To this day, Charlotte does not understand why Cardia is so opposed to her contact with Roja. As the eldest lady of the Sorovia family, Charlotte relied on her extraordinary talent to govern when she was nine years old. Even the leaders of the Rosette Chamber of Commerce are respectful from the heart, and Charlotte is almost impeccable in terms of talent, status, and ability, but these seem to be ineffective in front of Kadia.
What am I missing? Why on earth makes Roja's father so annoying
Was it because he brought Luoya back forcibly? No, that's not right, Kardia's interference had been there before then, so why on earth...
The girl clenched her fist and bit her lip. There were countless questions in her heart. However, facing the parents of her lover, Charlotte didn't dare to question at all, even a little nervous and afraid to speak.
That's right, Charlotte, who has never had stage fright, is scared. The eldest lady feels that this is the first time she has fought without information support and completely ignorant of the opponent's needs. Once defeated, what she loses may be what she sees. Treasure’s love, the price is too big, too big for her to bear.
"Then it's getting late, Mr. Bruce, Miss Charlotte, it's almost time for me to leave."
After an impeccable chat, Cartier said goodbye politely with a smile on his face. Bruce squinted to Charlotte, who had hardly spoken before, and knew that today’s dinner might be in vain. Work hard.
It's a pity, this should be the best opportunity, but Kadia's attitude is very firm. I'm afraid this marriage of her own daughter...
The brown-haired middle-aged man is thinking about the attitude of the Acate family for a long time, and he is pessimistic. Charlotte's abnormal performance tonight also makes him anxious. There is no doubt that his daughter is in deep love. In the middle of the game, there was a problem with his mentality, and it was because of this that he shrank in front of Roja's father, but doing so actually reduced points.
Show your true self, show your good side and conquer each other's parents. This is what Charlotte should do now, but it's too late.
Bruce thought so much about standing up and sending Cardia away. On the other side, the girl with brown-red hair also stood up stiffly. Charlotte felt that her brain was paralyzed, and she also knew that today's private meeting was the most important thing. Good opportunity, but her performance was far worse than expected. Looking at the back of Cardia who stood up and left, Charlotte suddenly felt a sense.
If he were to leave like this, I'm afraid Kadia's impression of her would be completely formed.
Must, something must be done, but what can be done now
Her brain was blank, her breathing was so rapid that she couldn’t control her. The high tension made Charlotte difficult. The girl lowered her head desperately thinking about countermeasures, and suddenly recalled in her mind that she was under the cover of that terrifying black monster. She pulled the trigger and finally The moment his protection hit Roja's body.
At that moment, Charlotte's love transcended life and death, and defeated the most rooted fear of mankind. Compared with that, what is the scene now? Monsters like Mr. Dark have not been able to cut off her love with Roja, are they going to ruin their feelings in this peaceful time
"What are you kidding..."
A soft whisper was spit out from Charlotte's mouth, and the girl with brown-red hair raised her head, and her emerald eyes were a final battle.
Cardia's invulnerability lies in turning a blind eye to the tacit understanding and hints between the nobles. This is almost impossible to solve among the nobles who value face and don't tell the truth, but this kind of golden body is not without any means.
In this desperate situation, the girl bit her lip and got up, walked a few steps to Kadia's face under Bruce's gaze, and bowed her head deeply towards the surprised Marquis-sama.
"Uncle Cardia, although it was a little sudden, I hope you can give me some time. I want to tell you one thing."
"I love Roja, please don't block our relationship. This is the only request in my life."
