As a representative figure of Alpha Academy, Sir Friedman’s schedule has always been tight.
This can be judged very clearly outside his lounge.
Outside the jazz lounge, there are several rows of large, low-backed sofas for the guests who come to visit to rest. Between the two sofas, there is a low black coffee table. In the cabinet under the coffee table, there are several heavy books stacked
There are reference books, and on the coffee table, there are exquisite pastries and fruits on the tea tray inlaid with gold wire and gemstones.
Matthew squinted his eyes and counted silently.
There are still more than ten guests in front of me, but they can be roughly divided into two groups.
A group of guests were probably the freshmen who had just entered school this year. The white robes they wore still exuded the bright color unique to new clothes, and their cuffs and collars did not have special trimmings.
This group of guests was headed by a young wizard with a stout build and a short crew cut, and there were about seven or eight people. They occupied a whole row of low-back sofas, moved the sofas and coffee tables arbitrarily, and sat together. They should be in
Playing games like cards, loud noises could be heard from the crowd from time to time.
The portraits of the old aristocrats hanging on the walls seemed unable to bear the noise of these new students, and one by one they left their frames and hid somewhere unknown.
Matthew also had a very bad impression of these guests.
They are simply not like Alpha students, the young vampire thought, and glanced at the door of his cousin's lounge worriedly. If these vulgar guys were to have anything to do with noble surnames like Karen or Black, it would be a shame.
insult.
Even thinking about it makes me sick.【】
In comparison, the other group of guests seemed more well-behaved.
These people should belong to the old students of Alpha, and there are only two of them. Their white robes shimmer with soft colors under the light of the torch, and they look like satin - the robes that have been worn for a long time will have this luster. The most important thing is
Yes, there are two black lines on the exposed cuffs of these two people.
These were probably junior students. I wonder what they wanted to do with their cousin. Matthew thought to himself silently and sat quietly on a sofa.
The two old students did not make as much noise as the freshmen, nor did they show any disrespect towards the new students.
They just sat patiently on the sofa, took out the books under the coffee table, and waited quietly for the jazz call.
This is the demeanor that an Alpha should have. The young vampire thought with satisfaction, and took out a copy of "Heisenberg and the Forbidden Curse" from under the coffee table, and flipped through it casually.
When reading a book, time always passes very quickly.
Matthew had not finished reading the first chapter of the book when he was interrupted.
"Hello, are you Sir Matthew Cullen?" The servant with gray eyes bent down and asked respectfully.
Matthew quickly put down the book in his hand, stood up, took a breath, and replied calmly: "Yes."
"Sir, please come," the servant lowered his head and whispered, "Please come with me."
The guests waiting on the sofa noticed the servant's behavior.
The vulgar freshmen at the farthest end stopped making noise, whispering to each other, and looked at Matthew with unkind expressions.
The two old students also raised their heads, their eyes full of curiosity.
Matthew nodded politely, tried his best to suppress his inner happiness, straightened his body, and followed the servants towards the arched carved door of the lounge.
But a figure jumped in front of him and blocked the Huadiao door.
"We came earlier than him! Why let him go in first? It's not fair!" The stout wizard with a short crew cut looked at Matthew angrily and roared loudly. The spittle in his mouth splashed onto the gray-eyed man.
The servant's face.
Matthew was astonished and even a little at a loss.
It was the first time he had seen such vulgar and rude behavior on such an occasion.
Even in his short life of less than twenty years, he almost never encountered such a gaffe.
"If you want fairness, why not go to a school for nerds." The old student on the low-backed sofa, waiting patiently with his chin on his back, sneered in a low voice: "You are actually looking for fairness in Alpha Castle. This is the funniest thing I have heard this year.
It’s something.”
Xiao Pingtou took a few deep breaths and suddenly calmed down his anger.
"Did he give you a tip?" The boy glanced at Matthew arrogantly and spread out his fat palms. His five stubby fingers were covered with magic rings; in the round palm, there was an emerald green one.
The gemstones sparkle with fascinating colors under the white torch.
"Here, take it!" Xiao Pingtou grabbed the gem, tossed it, and looked at the servant in front of him mockingly: "Can we go in first?"
Matthew was stunned for a few seconds and then became furious.
These rude freshmen are not only insulting their cousins, they are insulting themselves!
It is unbearable!
The young vampire's breathing gradually became heavier, his eyes glowed red, and two sharp points were faintly revealed at the corners of his mouth.
But his cousin's servant took a step forward and stood in front of him.
The servant with gray eyes and curly hair did not speak, but quietly took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the saliva from his face, and then threw the handkerchief into the trash can at the door.
"Sir has not invited you, please continue to wait." The servant looked at the rude guest in front of him blankly, and his tone was extremely stiff: "Sir did not agree, please keep your gems."
Is this a robot?
This is a puppet!
This must be an alchemy doll. Matthew looked at the tall servant in front of him sadly, his mouth slightly opened, revealing two small fangs that were at a loss.
He did not expect that his famous cousin only used a few alchemy dolls as servants.
If other Yuexia nobles knew about it, they would definitely become a laughing stock.
For a moment, he didn't know whether the rude freshmen were more annoying or the dull puppets were more disappointing.
"The Friedman family has too many rules and the threshold is too high. We can't afford to wait." The stout young man did not continue to make noise. He put away the gem in his palm, glanced around gloomily, waved his hand, and greeted his friends.
They: "Alpha Academy is not a vampire academy... Let's go visit Seprano-senpai!"
After that, these newcomers walked away.
Only two stunned old students and a messy sofa were left.
"Hello, Sir, I'm inviting you." The servant in front of him seemed as if nothing had happened, and took Matthew back to the lounge.
The young vampire put away his fangs, nodded stupidly, and followed the servant blankly.
He felt that his mind was in chaos now.
"Please dress formally." The servant's soft singing brought the distracted vampire back to reality.
Behind the flower-carved arch, there is a huge dressing mirror.
Matthew stood in front of the mirror, rubbed his face vigorously, and tried to cheer up.
"You need to use a wet towel to remove the dust," an old woman with gentle eyebrows appeared above the full-length mirror: "Also, your tie is tilted thirteen degrees to the left, and there is a small stain on the cuff of your right hand."
Matthew took the warm towel handed over by the servant, wiped his face, then took off the stained cufflinks, took out another pair of black square buttons engraved with the Cullen family crest from his pocket, and patiently put them on
On the cuffs.
The old woman smiled gently at him.
The full-length mirror emits a soft green glow.
Matthew straightened his stiff back, put on a standard smile in front of the mirror, turned around and walked towards the lounge.
"Your Excellency Matthew Cullen!"
Not far away, by the door of the lounge, another puppet servant softly sang the guest's name.
