Chapter 30 [Deep in the pile of fat powder]
The banquet was held in a villa outside a large nobleman, and it can be seen that it was just a private informal friendship gathering between nobles.
The outside of the villa had long been filled with various gorgeous and exquisite carriages. The men and women attending the banquet looked relaxed and dressed in gorgeous clothes.
The villa is not too big, but the banquet hall on the first floor is not small. The number of participants in the whole party is only more than 30. Nicole carefully held Roddy's arm and walked into the hall slowly. The waiter immediately walked up respectfully, took off Nicole's shawl in the most elegant posture, and then sang in a pleasant tenor: "Miss Nicole Site, the Tulip Family, is here."
Roddy immediately felt countless gazes shooting towards him. For the first time in his life, he saw so many nobles - or high-ranking nobles at the same time. It was the first time that he was shrouded in the eyes of so many nobles, and these gazes were still of various types.
Some people with a little respect in their eyes, which naturally came for the golden sign "Tulip Family". Some people with envy, they were naturally some nobles with a slightly lower status. There were also many people with a smile on their eyes, which were from several families with family friendship with the Tulip Family. Of course, there were also some people with deep feelings, which were some people who had no friendship, and some people maliciously thought of the current embarrassment of the Tulip Family - the withering talents, the heirs were not successful, and the only one who was successful was a woman who could not inherit the title.
Of course, it is also indispensable. Many young daughters' eyes shot at Roddy. Roddy's appearance tonight is indeed quite stylish. Coupled with his handsome face from the playboy, his elegant blonde hair as bright as the sun god, which is unique to the Tulip family, it does have a bit of the public lover. Although Roddy's gaze seems a little shy in the eyes of the ladies, the occasional shy look on the handsome boy's face makes these ladies even more cute. I heard that this young master is a romantic figure and a master in love on weekdays, but this is somewhat inconsistent with the rumors.
Nicole greeted her familiar friends with a quiet smile, and her smile was as bright as a spring breeze. She quietly introduced Roddy to these people in front of her in a subtle voice, which was the ministers His Majesty had recently favored, which was a nobleman famous for his wealth, and which was an ally of the family... Roddy couldn't remember these things for a while, and only heard 70% clearly, but only recorded 30%.
Because it was not a formal banquet, it was a small party held in a cold meal situation. The men and women in the hall formed small groups according to their familiar circles. Nicole seemed to have always taken Roddy to wander around various groups, neither talking to others in depth, nor neglecting others. Occasionally, some young nobles who were self-proclaimed to be fascinated by Nicole's beauty and came to chat with him. Nicole also responded politely, not at all like a magician who was so terrifying that Roddy had in her eyes that he had been terrifyingly punished.
Roddy always followed Nicole with fear, but Nicole seemed to want to exercise him well, and finally told him a few words: Be careful, follow what I taught you on the way, don’t lose your etiquette. Then she walked away with a few female companions.
Roddy wanted to follow him, but the girls went all the way to the inner room, and he was always embarrassed to follow him. For a moment, he had to stand there stupidly.
The waiter next to him brought a delicate pure gin wine glass, the wine as bright as blood, which made Roddy hesitate for a long time whether to take a sip.
Although he seemed uncomfortable, it was not like this in the eyes of others. This behavior fell into the eyes of the noble ladies who were interested in him, and he felt that the eldest young master was a brilliant figure. His handsome appearance, coupled with the scary background behind him, was there a more suitable golden son-in-law than this?
Less than a while after Nicole walked away, Roddy was surrounded by several noble girls.
It is said that men often have a lot of skills when they ask women to chat with them, but this sentence may be equally appropriate for women.
In less than a moment, two noble ladies "accidentally" dropped their handkerchief on the ground in front of Roddy. The folding fans in their hands fell in front of Roddy in a hurry. One noble ladies "carelessly" tripped over his skirt and almost fell into Roddy's arms.
Of course, Roddy kept in mind the words of his cheap sister, meticulously followed the etiquette she taught, and put the handkerchiefs and folding fans on the ground in front of him, and carefully returned them to the master. As for the lady who almost hit her arms, Roddy was so scared that she dodged her body in a hurry, almost causing the timid young lady to fall to the ground.
What made Roddy even more troubled was that these ladies seemed to have clinged to themselves, picked up the things and returned them, but the ladies simply stood by themselves and stopped leaving. They started talking to themselves in a few words.
Roddy was not a good person who was good at talking. From childhood to adulthood, she got along with Miss Nicole and the beautiful little maid at home. She had never had any contact with girls. She was now trapped in a pile of rouge and sweated on her head for a while.
The sound of orioles lingered around him, and there were no charming eyes flying in intentionally or unintentionally. Roddy was very panicked - it was not that he was unfamiliar with the charming, men didn't need to teach such things. But he had never dealt with girls, especially so many noble girls. Besides, he was worried at this moment, for fear of accidentally revealing his flaws. Every step he took was like walking on thin ice, and he was not interested in those wind and liu activities.
Besides, although there are two of these women with good looks, Roddy usually takes care of Nicole and Angel at home, two charming beauties, and he is not very interested in these vulgar fans - not to mention that he already has a faint affection for Miss Nicole at this moment.
Roddy himself felt a lot of pain, but the scene of being surrounded by a lady was envious in the eyes of others. Some sighed that the eldest son of the Tulip family was indeed extraordinary. But some people thought that the family power was not inferior to Roddy, so they became a little angry and jealous.
"Set, it seems that you are having a great time talking with these ladies." A spy's voice came. Then, he left after searching for the voice, and a slender and fair-faced young man walked up to him.
With the warrior's instinctive vigilance, Roddy immediately felt the other person's face smiling a little ill-intentioned.
Roddy recognized that the person in front of him was the nephew of the Imperial Military Minister. The Imperial Military Minister was in charge of the Imperial Military Logistics and Supply, which was a huge ferocious situation. However, his relationship with the Imperial Marshal's House has always been tense.
Roddy wouldn't know about this, but when Nicole introduced everyone just now, he emphasized the tone of his opponent who had always been dissatisfied with the family, which left a little impression on Roddy.
Roddy sighed, nodded, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, I don't seem to know you, right?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across the face of the guy opposite. As the nephew of the Military Minister, and because the Military Minister has no son and the family he lives in, he has been established as the official heir of the family. As soon as he returned to the imperial capital, he has become a sensible figure. At this moment, Roddy said in front of so many people that he did not know him, which is clearly not giving him face.
However, the expression on his face immediately returned to normal. He raised his wine glass and smiled and said, "I am Miro of the Lionheart family. I have been sent by His Majesty to the north to manage military affairs over the years. You are developing in the imperial capital. We have never met officially..."
As soon as these words were said, there was a hint of irony - that means that I was an important military officer appointed by His Majesty, and you are just a playboy in the imperial capital. Of course we have never seen it.
The ladies next to them didn't say anything, so they naturally knew Miro's identity. In fact, if it weren't for Roddy's appearance tonight, Miro would have been an important target for their hearts. There were two clever ones who knew that some of the two families were not harmonious, and they also understood that Miro might be coming to find fault, because they knew that Miro is now an important official with military power and is highly appreciated by His Majesty. Although this young master Seit has the halo of the Tulip family, he is still an adult and has not yet inherited his title. He couldn't help but worry about this likable young man in his heart.
Roddy looked embarrassed, and he also saw that the other party was here to make trouble. In fact, he did not hear the irony in the other party's words. After all, his life was short of pretending to be this young master and he had not completely dissolved himself into the role. It was just that because he pretended to be this role, the other party's big man is now unable to get along with him. This felt really strange.
At this moment, a charming voice sounded softly.
"My Excellency Miro, Master Seit, you two seem to be very close. I wonder why you are so happy to talk about?"
