When Baron Rhine and White came out, the Baron looked very weak. His face that was rosy just now turned pale. Because he had sweated too much, the hair on his head was soaked and stuck tightly to his forehead. The weak advantage in hair volume was suddenly gone, and he turned into a nobleman with a slightly embarrassing look on his head.
Hillier really wanted to know what Rhine said to him to scare the baron like this.
The plump lady was completely fascinated by Rhine. When she saw Rhine walking towards Hillier, she was about to get up and leave. She immediately sat back, unfolded her small fan, and covered the lower half of her face modestly. His face and eyes were completely gone.
Hillier was a little stunned, but turned around and looked at Rhine, and he understood this young lady. Rhine and Baron White walked together. I don’t know what Rhine said. The baron nodded and wiped the sweat from his head with a handkerchief, and the color on his face returned to his face. The poor baron was not only frightened, but also acted as a perfect foil for Rhine at this moment.
Hillier had always known that Rhine had outstanding looks, but when he was a boy, that kind of outstanding beauty with a bit of fragility attracted many people, but it was not like now, almost indiscriminately attracting all ages and people. People of all genders feel ashamed.
Rhine's appearance hasn't changed much, but the change in temperament is too obvious. Just by the way he walked there, talking and smiling, people were deeply fascinated by his lazy and slightly curly black hair and smiling black eyes.
In the days when he disappeared from the sight of the nobles of Kannor, they forgot his handsome face and rich family wealth. But once he comes back - no matter where he is hiding in the party, he will be the absolute protagonist.
Baron White resigned halfway along the road, and Rhine walked over alone. The lady's eyes immediately became lingering and sad. Hillier watched in amazement. If the young lady had looked at him with such a look just now, maybe he would have had a few more words with her.
And at that moment, Hillier felt that many of the sights that were just floating here became intense in an instant. The one being targeted was not him, a loyal knight, but the man who was about to get peace. Earl Conversation Opportunity Miss.
Hillier believed that the young lady also felt it herself, but she still looked calm, as if she only had Rhine in her heart, and looked like her heart was really beating.
Rhine came over and sat down in a separate place, not far nor close to the young lady. He smiled at her, said hello, and slightly lengthened his tone when addressing her, showing some timely confusion.
The other party immediately understood and said cheerfully: "Margaret, sir, just call me Margaret."
Rhine said politely: "Miss Margaret, you are very beautiful today, especially this skirt. I have never seen such a beautiful skirt."
Margaret's face turned red with excitement and said: "Jennifer gave it to me. I have never seen a dress like this before. Oh, Jennifer is the daughter of Baron White. I'm really happy when you say that."
She was incredibly excited.
Rhine smiled and tolerated her nervousness, and said: "Such a beautiful skirt, it must look great when rotated."
Margaret stopped talking. She couldn't help but wait with bated breath. Was the count going to invite her to dance
Rhine's black eyes seemed to reflect her image in the light, and Margaret felt that she would suffocate if he didn't speak.
Rhine said: "Lovely little girl, why don't you go to the middle of the dance floor to dance with those young guys? You can't sit in such a remote place all night. Go quickly, little girl."
The content of Rhine's words was quite old-fashioned, but he had the most handsome face in the world in Margaret's eyes. Even though she subconsciously understood that Rhine was politely asking her to leave, Margaret could not help but indulge in Rhine's literal compliments.
Maybe the count was just a little tired and didn't want to dance, but he really wanted to see her flying skirt
Margaret couldn't help but stood up according to Rhine's words, held up the hem of her skirt and saluted. She almost looked back every few steps and reluctantly returned to the crowd. She was suddenly asked about both her and Rhine. Surrounded by people who said something.
Hillier winked at Rhine, who still retained his naughty nature at this time. Rhine was unmoved and picked up a wine glass to taste the wine prepared by the baron.
Hillier saw Margaret's eyes and couldn't stop glancing towards Rhine, but Rhine never looked there again, refusing to give her the slightest illusion.
Hillier even became confused as to why Rhine didn't directly ask the lady to leave before, but even talked to her in a roundabout way. Was it out of gentlemanly etiquette
Some young ladies said a few words to Margaret and came to the Rhine again on their own, while Hillier gloated about their misfortune. With Rhine here, this kind of "sweet trouble" is naturally not Hillier's turn.
Rhine treated these young ladies equally. He would look at them politely with smiling eyes, praise their clothes in a few sentences, cleverly avoid the more intimate compliments on their appearance, and finally always say " He concluded by suggesting that the ladies should enjoy the dance more, and persuaded the person to leave in a daze, but cruelly refused to pay attention when the person turned back three times.
Hillier felt a little sympathetic to these young ladies, but he couldn't help but said: "Sir, it is precisely because your attitude is too gentle that they still have room for fantasy."
Hillier looked at it several times and discovered the problem. These words from Rhine made these ladies not lose face even if they left - because they and the earl exchanged a few friendly words, although they could not sit next to the earl all the time. But they were not driven away by the count. So there were always young ladies who came here with the intention of having a word with the count, and even thought that maybe the count would like her like this.
Rhine also has a headache. He naturally knows that if he is a little rude, the scene may be much cleaner, but it is not certain that the lady will become the laughing stock of the whole audience. He does not want to do this even though he knows this. Push hands.
Rhine rubbed his temples and said, "Just bear with it, no one will come soon."
Yes, seeing so many people coming home defeated, the remaining ladies changed their strategy. They no longer ran to Rhine to compete for beauty, but instead considered the excuses Rhine used to persuade those ladies to retreat, and began to bloom on the dance floor. own passion.
The way those skirts rotate is really unrestrained and beautiful.
Hillier was almost jealous of Rhine's charm, but they finally found peace.
The main purpose of Rhine's visit tonight has been completed, and he has successfully reached a certain sense of cooperation with Baron White. This relationship was not secure, and Rhine did not expect it to last. The Baron is now caught by Rhine and has to obey Rhine's words, but when the first sea ship returns safely and the matter cannot be concealed, the Baron will not be as obedient as he is now. By that time, Rhine will naturally reach a new relationship of interest with the Baron.
Of course, this does not mean that Rhine will go on strike tonight. He is quite willing to chat with other minor nobles. Although I don't expect to be able to find one or two people who can be partners, it never hurts to give it a try.

Apart from anything else, if he went back now, Joseph would definitely fall into all kinds of bad imaginations. Rhine decided to sit there for a while, and then go back with a smell of wine and a satisfied smile to satisfy Joseph.
Rhine and Hillier briefly chatted about Baron White. Not long after they finished speaking, Hillier winked at him, hinting that someone was coming.
Rhine turned around. Fortunately, this time it was not a beautiful noble lady, but three men. Those non-stop ladies successfully attracted everyone's attention to this corner. The men present were jealous of Rhine and wanted to have a relationship. Only when those ladies stopped coming here did someone take the first step. step.
A man came up to Hillier, recognized him as a knight of the Rhine, and stood there for a while. Hillier then realized that the other party was waiting for him to give up his seat. If Hillier were still involved in such dances every day, his reaction would be faster, he would not feel humiliated, and he would almost give up his seat gracefully with a bright smile.
But this time, I don’t know if it was because he stayed in the military camp for a long time, and he was a little unfamiliar and slow to react. Hillier also felt a little uncomfortable mentally. With this delay, the best time to give up his seat was missed. Hillier would be in a very embarrassing situation if he got up at this moment.
At this moment, Rhine stood up and moved to Hillier's side, next to Hillier, nodded to several men, and then started talking to Hillier.
The man waiting for Hillier was a little embarrassed. He immediately raised his legs, walked to an empty seat with his companion and sat down. After the conversation between Rhine and Hillier came to an end, he took the initiative to talk to Rhine, trying to arouse Rhine's interest. .
Rhine did not deliberately lower his expression and chatted with the three of them. Only then did the disgraced young man feel better and no longer took the matter to his heart.
Hillier couldn't remember how many people Rhine talked to tonight, and whether there was anyone at the ball who didn't come to talk to him.
Obviously, Rhine is more comfortable facing men than facing women. He is very good at controlling the pace of conversations, easily shortening conversations that he is not interested in, and not making the other person feel offended. Instead, he will leave contentedly and make room for others.
If Hillier hadn't been standing by and discovered this pattern, it would have been difficult for him to detect Rhine's thoughts. After such a night, Hillier also guessed that Rhine was slightly satisfied with a certain two young men, and planned to keep an eye on their movements for Rhine in advance.
Hillier sent Rhine back to the castle. The castle was too cold in winter. Although the fireplace was burning, the place far away from the fireplace was not much warmer than outside the castle.
It wasn't until he got closer to the fireplace that Rhine felt his whole body come to life.
Joseph came over and smiled with satisfaction when he saw Rhine's red cheeks from drinking. Joseph served hot tea to both of them. After drinking it, Hillier felt that his frozen body had softened a little, and then he proposed to leave.
Rhine said: "Don't leave. It's so cold outside. Don't get frostbite. There is a room for you in the castle. Let John help you tidy it up a little and you can live there."
Hillier was stunned, and for some reason, he subconsciously looked at the housekeeper.
Joseph looked at him and smiled. This smile seemed a little different from the polite and condescending smiles he had before. Hillier felt that the hot tea not only burned his stomach, but even burned his eyes. He nodded.
