Lelouch wouldn't mind showing off his skills if the situation 'permitted', but at the end of the dinner, Lelouch was not given this opportunity. Except for a few attendants who exuded a different aura than humans, the entire banquet went on normally. All the food at the banquet was extremely exquisite. Although not all the materials used were rare and precious, the chef's superb skills were able to turn decay into magic.
All the guests were very satisfied after the dinner!
After the dinner, the guests did not leave but gathered happily in another hall of the mansion. At this moment, the band was playing soothing and beautiful music. Some guests had already invited their companions to the dance floor, and many girls also joined them. An invitation was sent to Lelouch, and in order to be gregarious, Lelouch casually chose a younger girl to join him on the dance floor. This choice made many frustrated girls look jealous, and even some nobles. The young man looked helplessly at the popular Lelouch with an expression of envy and hatred.
If it had been a banquet held by another chamber of commerce or a noble, Lelouch might have found an excuse to leave after the meal, but this time Lelouch decided to stay a little longer because Lelouch wanted to see what the food club had to offer. What kind of characters are controlling backstage
The girl dancing with Lelouch on the dance floor looked like a novice. During the dance, the girl accidentally stepped on Lelouch's shoes for the second time. The other women looking at the two of them showed expressions of gloating, but Lelouch didn't mind and instead guided the girl with an elegant smile.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Lelouch. I'm sorry, I'm a little too nervous today." The girl said with a shy voice, blushing as if she didn't dare to look at Lelouch.
"It doesn't matter. Just dance to my beat. It's very simple."
Lelouch also taught the girl patiently. After the dance, as soon as Lelouch returned to his seat, the next girl came forward to invite her. At this time, Lelouch looked around. There were many girls who were looking at him. There were even many girls who did not dare to come forward because they were shy. However, the parents around them showed encouraging eyes and seemed to be preparing to use them. The daughter is used as a tool for getting close. When he thought that there were probably no less than two figures of girls preparing to take turns tonight, Lelouch suddenly felt that maybe it would have been easier just to leave just now.
Just as Lelouch was quickly thinking of an excuse to get rid of these overly enthusiastic girls, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed. The band's music also became louder, and a burst of female singing slowly began to sound, as beautiful and melancholy as the witch of the night, with a strange charm. In the middle of the hall, people subconsciously stepped back to make way for an open space. The few remaining lights were all concentrated on the open space. In an instant, red petals suddenly fell from the air and among the petals, a graceful figure appeared in front of everyone. The red gauze skirt accentuated her sexy figure, and the female dancers danced like elves of fire.
Lelouch looked at the dancer intently and determined that the effect was probably caused by using a teleportation circle, and the dancer itself was also an existence with a non-human aura, just like the maid just now. But I have to say that both the singing and the dancers' movements are extremely beautiful, and Lelouch, the singer of the singing, has already recognized Isabella's voice. I didn't expect that the woman who looked like a social butterfly could sing such a beautiful voice.
After the dinner, Alisa and Kenjiro also returned to Lelouch. Alisa watched the dancers' performance with admiration with an artist's eyes, while Kenjiro saw something special in the dancers' movements. Everything, whether it is the posture or the beating melody, shows that the dancer has practiced extremely advanced martial arts. Although she looks charming and weak now, if she fights, she will have to spend some effort to subdue the opponent.
Soon the singing gradually stopped, and the dancers' dancing also stopped along with the singing. Applause rang out instantly, and Lelouch also applauded. Apart from anything else, this was indeed a very beautiful dance that deserved applause to express praise.
The hall lights came on. The woman singing the song also revealed her truth, and just as Lelouch judged, it was indeed Isabella. She was still wearing that fiery red dress and looked at everyone proudly as if she was enjoying the applause. The emcee also came to the front desk at this time to liven up the atmosphere a little, and then the dance started again.
At this time, the dancers slowly retreated, and Isabella walked towards Lelouch to relieve Lelouch who was surrounded by girls. Judging from the situation, there are many girls here who know Isabella and are a little afraid of her. At least Isabella didn't even say anything when she came over, and these girls got out of the way knowingly.
"What do you think of this banquet, Mr. Lelouch?"
"It's very original. If possible, I would like to ask you how to join your club." Lelouch continued following Isabella's topic. In Lelouch's opinion, Isabella and the food club behind her should have something to do with him, and he was responsible for not receiving such preferential treatment and receiving so much attention from an organizer tonight.
Isabella smiled coquettishly and said, "I would be honored to introduce you."
Lelouch nodded and then whispered in Isabella's ear: "But before that, can we find a quieter place to talk?"
Isabella was stunned for a moment, and then said with a charming look: "Of course, Sir Lelouch, maybe we can have a good chat in the VIP room upstairs."
"Alissa, please wait in the carriage outside."
Before leaving, Lelouch gestured to Alisa and she nodded. Alisa was slightly surprised when Lelouch said he wanted to be alone with Isabella, but then she showed a solemn expression. Having been with Lelouch for so long, Alisa knew very well that the boy in front of her was definitely not the kind of person who would be seduced by women. She had to know how many women in the free city had taken the initiative to send her to Lelouch. The bed was repaired. Besides, how could a messenger of the gods be attracted to such a vulgar woman in front of him
Alisa and Kenjiro both knew this, and also knew the meaning of Lelouch's gesture just now, which meant alertness and caution.
In the mansion, Isabella walked up to the second floor with Lelouch with a smile. This move caused many people to whisper, but Isabella didn't care about the eyes of outsiders and just led Lelouch to the statue. Walk upstairs. In Isabella's mind, she was ordered to test and win over this boy, but in fact, apart from the mission, Isabella also had a good impression of Lelouch. She was handsome in appearance, mysterious in identity, and had an elegant temperament. Besides that, Isabella also had a good impression of Lelouch. Outside, this young man is very smart and courageous. You must know that he can bring more than 5 billion Lien in goods to the Free City and try to settle here. No matter whether he can gain a foothold here in the future, just this Courage is far better than that of some second-generation nobles who only know how to rely on their family to make ends meet.
During the banquet held by the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, Isabella gave Lelouch a key. In fact, if the young man really came with the key, Isabella would not have minded giving him a little taste of it. , after all, Isabella also liked this boy very much, whether it was his appearance or temperament.
It's a pity that he didn't come that day!
And today, Isabella also plans to do some fake acting, and I'm sure the 'store manager' won't have any objection if she has some fun before completing the task.
However, when Lelouch entered the second floor, he did not choose to go to the 'VIP room' recommended by Isabella. Instead, he found a conference room for talks and sat down. Isabella was confused for a moment. He had no choice but to sit down with Lelouch. The maid in the mansion did not dare to neglect and immediately served tea and cakes.
Looking at Lelouch drinking black tea, even Isabella couldn't figure out for a moment what the boy in front of her was planning. The beauty invited you to the room, but you ran to the conference room to drink tea. Could it be that you Isn't that the type that the other person likes
"Okay." Lelouch put down the tea cup and stared at Isabella closely and said: "Sometimes I have to say that life is just acting. Everyone is an actor on this big stage and is forced to wear a mask and speak insincerely. Words, now that there is no one here, I think you can be honest with me, Miss Isabella."
As soon as these words came out, Isabella was stunned. Although the situation suddenly became a little beyond Isabella's expectation, Isabella quickly judged the situation and replied: "Sir Lelouch, what do you mean? What does 'honest' mean?"
Lelouch ignored the other meaning in Isabella's words: "Well, of course, Miss Isabella, what do you want from me?"
"You mean┉┉"
"I think Miss Isabella, your club will invite me here. It should not just be as simple as inviting me to enjoy a meal and adding a member." Lelouch's expression suddenly changed from an elegant to an elegant one. The gentleman became extremely aggressive and said like a bully: "As I said before, I just arrived in the Free City not long ago and I have too much free time. Instead of testing it slowly, it is better for everyone to be honest with each other directly. This way we can save each other some trouble.”
Isabella's charming smile slowly faded away, replaced by a solemn expression. It was no longer interesting to explain. The young man in front of her had already seen through everything. If she continued to pretend, she would only make herself look stupid.
Pa~pa~pa~
Suddenly there was a burst of applause. Lelouch followed the sound and looked over. A tall and handsome man, but dressed a bit like a playboy, came over while applauding. (To be continued...)
