When Charles stepped into the banquet hall, he was full of ambition.
He is full of confidence when everyone casts surprised eyes on him.
However, when the banquet hall fell into a long silence, he felt a little strange.
He has specially prepared for tonight's outfit for a long time.
Even, he had already prepared an impassioned speech, just waiting for someone to ask him: "Dear Marquis, why are you wearing armor to attend the banquet?"
but!
Why has no one asked
Marquis Charles was deeply disappointed.
These people are too stupid to even hand him a message.
So, he coughed a few times, ready to ask and answer himself:
"You must be wondering, why am I not wearing a dress
Because, I have no face to wear it! "
Marquis Charles took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
When I opened it again, tears filled my eyes!
"The troll army is in retreat, but are we really victorious
You all ask yourselves..."
When Marquis Charles said this, he swept across the audience with a heartbroken look.
But at one point, he suddenly got stuck.
Because, at a glance, he saw the maverick figure in the crowd—Colin.
Then, he was all bad...
Colin also saw Marquis Charles at this time.
Then, his whole body is also bad...
I wore armor to the banquet because I was really driven to no avail by that crazy woman, what the hell are you doing for a show
The entire banquet hall was silent.
Ten seconds passed.
Twenty seconds passed.
Thirty seconds have passed...
"Knight Colin!"
Finally, the Marquis Charles roared affectionately, breaking the disturbingly awkward silence.
He walked a few steps quickly and came to Ke Lin.
Facing the Marquis Charles who was wearing a "couple outfit" with him, Colin instinctively panicked.
He subconsciously retracted his hands.
But, unfortunately.
Still caught by Marquis Charles with quick eyes and hands!
"Knight of Colin!" Marquis Charles held Colin's hands tightly, "I knew that there would always be someone in the north like me who would not be indulging in false victories, but dared to take up arms, put on armor, and Warrior to the death of the trolls!"
Colin resisted the urge to pull his hands back, quickly adjusted the expression on his face, and put on an impassioned look.
I, who should cooperate with you, can only perform as best I can.
But compared to Charles Marquis' performance at the actor-level level, Ke Lin is still a little ashamed.
For example, the other party's exquisite control that tears welled up in his eyes but resisted the tears flowing down, Colin thought he couldn't do it.
"Lord Marquis!" Ke Lin's voice gradually choked up, "I will not take off my armor for a day if I don't avenge my father! Please Lord Marquis regroup the army and lead us to counterattack the sky ice field!"
"Don't worry, I will not let you down!"
The two film kings looked at each other affectionately, and their basic affection was radiant.
"But you've let us down."
A flat voice came from the hall door.
It's not loud, but it quiets the whole hall.
Moreover, this person's words revealed his disdain for Marquis Charles Chiguoguo, but no one present dared to refute it.
Even, Marquis Charles himself, although a well-prepared performance was abruptly interrupted, he only showed embarrassment and guilt when he heard the words.
At the same time, the crowd immediately separated to the two sides, giving way to a wide passage for the people at the door.
Marquis Garcia appeared at the door.
Behind him, Vera dressed up followed.
The two "armored men" finally stopped staring at each other provocatively, turned around, and bowed to the two who entered the hall at this time.
Marquis Garcia was wearing a dark blue dress today, with a stern face, he walked quickly through the crowd, and did not stop when he passed by Colin and Marquis Charles.
Didn't even look at either of them.
It seemed that they didn't care about the farce that the two of them had created.
As the person with the highest status in today's banquet, Marquis Garcia's attitude is very important.
Seeing that he ignored the two "armored men", all the nobles attending the meeting breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
However, although Marquis Garcia is the well-deserved focus of today, but now, the real focus of the venue is someone else.
At least, the eyes of all the men present were on the slender figure behind Marquis Garcia.
Colin is certainly no exception.
Tonight's Vera is breathtakingly beautiful.
She was wearing a pure white long dress with slits, her dazzling golden hair fell on her smooth shoulders, her blue eyes were as pure as the sea, her height of 1.7 meters was well proportioned, and she was highlighted by the close-fitting long dress Every ups and downs of her body are woven into fascinating curves.
What made it even more difficult for the male nobles at the banquet was that Vera had an almost perfect and exquisite face.
What's more, the profound mystery of a mage, the dignified elegance of a great nobleman, and the gentleness and gracefulness of a young girl are perfectly integrated in her, exuding a fatal attraction.
"who is she?"
Many male nobles have already begun to quietly inquire about Vera's identity.
The adopted daughter of the Duke is indeed quite mysterious. Colin has not found any information about her from the memory of his predecessor, as if the Duke of St. Hilde is deliberately covering up her existence.
However, Marquis Garcia seems to be officially introducing this beauty to the northern border today.
"Before the banquet begins, please allow me to solemnly introduce this beautiful young lady beside me."
Marquis Garcia led Vera to the high platform in the front row of the hall, and introduced:
"Vera St. Hilde, adopted daughter of the Duke of St. Hilde!"
"Wow—"
Hearing Vera's true identity, the gazes of the male nobles in the audience became even more intense.
There was only one thought left in their minds - to marry her!
Dreams are always necessary, otherwise what is the difference with salted fish
The Marquis Garcia seemed to have seen what everyone was thinking, so he didn't delay any longer. He immediately picked up a goblet and said loudly: "Tonight's banquet has officially begun! Everyone, enjoy yourself!"
"Praise the Lord Marquis!"
…
As soon as Marquis Garcia finished speaking, beautiful music began to sound.
The banquet officially begins.
As expected, Miss Vera was immediately surrounded by many male nobles of the right age.
Regardless of their status, almost all the unmarried men present wanted to see if they had a chance to embrace a beautiful woman.
After all, a woman like Vera whose appearance and status can be called a momentary choice is the best marriage partner.
As for whether it is considered high or not, we have to try it first.
Vera skillfully dealt with the nobles who came to strike up a conversation, as if such a scene was nothing to her.
Her every move reveals the demeanor of a duke's daughter, politely but resolutely rejecting wave after wave of men.
"Aren't you going to try?" Marquis Charles touched Colin beside him with his elbow.
"Go." Colin looked like an old god, "but you have to give others a chance first."
The Marquis of Charles heard the strong confidence contained in Colin's words, and suddenly looked sideways:
"Hey! Don't blame me for not reminding you. There are quite a few young men who are above you in terms of status and appearance at the banquet today!"
Colin shrugged, ignored Charles' warning, but picked up a glass of champagne from the passing waiter's tray, and sipped it carefully.
Seeing this, Marquis Charles immediately rolled his eyes, feeling that he was really worrying for nothing.
At this time, in the center of the banquet hall, there were already many men and women dancing in pairs.
But Vera hadn't accepted an offer from any man yet.
Finally, after all the bees, bees and butterflies around her returned disappointed one by one, Colin put down his wine glass and walked towards Vera.
"Beautiful and honorable lady, may I have the honor to invite you to dance with me?" Ke Lin bowed slightly and stretched out his right hand to Vera.
A faint blush appeared on Vera's face, and she obediently placed her right hand in Colin's:
"good."
