The style of clothing changes a person's appearance.
Charlotte is at the right age, her development is relatively late, and she looks young.
When she puts on children's clothes and acts cute, she is an innocent, cute and charming child.
And when she puts on a mature and elegant evening dress, her childlike innocence is covered up, and her sense of girliness increases.
Especially since she deliberately asked the maid to put on slightly mature makeup for her today.
This is a little thought from Charlotte.
In the past, in order to make it easier for her to be cute and lower others' wariness, she would deliberately wear clothes that had a strong sense of youthfulness to enhance her sense of romance.
But at this dinner, she had to let everyone know that the heir to the Castel family was not just a child.
She has passed her fifteenth birthday.
She is growing up and ready to inherit the territory.
So, the effect came.
The moment Charlotte stepped off the carriage, the entire garden square fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her, and it was difficult for both men and women to look away for a while.
In the end, the well-trained deacons of the Duke's Palace reacted the fastest. They were the first to recover. They instantly put on respectful and enthusiastic smiles and quickly came to Charlotte.
It's just that someone is faster than them.
"Oh! It's Miss Charlotte! Miss Charlotte, you are here!"
A high-pitched and enthusiastic voice came over.
Bruno, a fat aristocrat, dragged his body like a pom-pom and trotted all the way to Charlotte, his small eyes cracked with laughter.
Charlotte, who had secretly collected information from the Duke's Palace, already knew the exact identity of the other party. He was a second-level housekeeper in the Duke's Palace of Boulder, with the title of Palace Viscount.
Palace titles, in the continent of Miria, specifically refer to those palace nobles who have titles but do not have fiefs. They are common in the courts of principalities, kingdoms, grand duchies or empires.
"Good afternoon, Viscount Bruno."
Charlotte gracefully performed a noble lady's ceremony.
She has become very proficient in this set of actions, so proficient that she even feels sorry for herself.
Bruno seemed quite happy to be called by the girl's name.
He proudly raised his chin towards the other housekeepers who were not running as fast as him, and then ordered the deacon who followed him:
"Why are you still standing there? Help Countess Castel arrange the carriage!"
The deacons quickly took action and were busy surrounding the Castel family's carriage, leaving other nearby nobles aside, even though... Charlotte didn't need that many deacons at all.
Bruno enthusiastically took Charlotte to the Duke's Palace.
The black cat Ness also jumped down from the carriage, followed him with his tail held high and his head held high, with a proud look on his face.
It wasn't until the girl's figure gradually disappeared that other people in the garden square began to react.
"That lady is from a noble family, she is so beautiful..."
"Didn't you see? The family crest on the carriage is a black eagle."
"Castle? Hiss...is it her? Is it true that she is a seducing succubus as the rumors say?"
"Tch, have you ever seen a succubus walking in the sun? In my opinion, she looks so beautiful, she must be a witch who knows black magic!"
This is a conversation between civilians watching the excitement.
Rumors have been rampant in Boulder City recently, and they are the ones who are having fun, and they are the ones who spread the conspiracy theories.
There is nothing we can do about it. The public is the easiest to be biased by public opinion. They lack sources of real information and can only be led by the aristocrats who control public opinion.
Information cocoons exist in any era.
However, it is different on the noble side:
"It's the one from Castells who's coming."
"She is so beautiful and her etiquette is very standard and elegant. She is worthy of being the heir of the Castel family."
"It's a pity that she has been surrounded by rumors recently, so she must also have a headache."
"I wonder which family she will choose to marry..."
"Yeah, I don't know who will be the lucky one. The Castel family's dowry is half a principality!"
These sanctimonious guys know clearly what is a rumor and what is the truth.
Those who can't tell the difference are not qualified to accept the Duke's family's banquet invitation.
While they were discussing, the slightly more powerful nobles obviously accelerated their pace and caught up with the girl's team.
If you take a closer look, you will notice that among the noble families attending the banquet this time, in addition to the heads of the families, there are also young and handsome male family members attending the banquet.
Everyone's eyes followed the movement of the girl, as if she was always ready to talk to her, and the eye contact between them was even more explosive.
Coupled with the nobles' unique gorgeous costumes and exaggerated shapes, they look like a group of peacocks always ready for a duel.
Charlotte noticed too.
She even turned to look at them curiously and smiled politely.
As a result, just this casual glance and polite smile excited a large group of young nobles:
"She looked at me! She just looked at me!"
"No! She is looking at me! She is even smiling at me!"
"He's obviously looking at me!"
"Asshole! You're looking at me!"
"Want to duel?!"
"Come on! Who is afraid of whom?"
It was a complete meal.
Charlotte slowly withdrew her gaze, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly, secretly thinking that she was really a sinful woman...
Of course, the above are the more impulsive young nobles, mostly from small and medium-sized families.
Several great nobles who are also earls are much more elegant and gentlemanly "participants in the marriage competition".
They came around the girl without leaving a trace, were polite and raised topics casually, with elegant and charming smiles on their faces.
Many of them have faces that are much more handsome than the traffic stars of Blue Star in their previous lives, which are enough to cause any girl to scream and make Charlotte extremely envious and sour.
But I have to say that these guys’ social skills are really awesome.
Even if they knew they had evil intentions and were filled with male-like hostility toward their handsome faces, the topics they raised would often succeed in arousing Charlotte's interest.
But it's a pity...
All their charming looks were shown to the blind man.
Charlotte was indeed interested in the topics they talked about and the information they revealed about various nobles, but she had no feeling for them personally.
Not only that, seeing these people approaching with restraint and grace, expressing themselves enthusiastically, and thinking that their real purpose was to covet their bodies and their property, Charlotte even had the guts to punch them to the ground directly, and then
The urge to stomp on their faces with your feet...
Oh no.
You can't step on their faces yourself.
Who knows if there are any weird xp guys among these hyenas in heat? For them, that might actually be a reward.
Charlotte is quite confident about her beautiful legs and feet.
Quasimodo should stomp on him hard!
She secretly thought in her heart.
Of course, even if you can listen to some information, it is annoying enough to have a swarm of flies buzzing in your ears for a long time.
As time passed, Charlotte became impatient.
However, someone was more anxious than she was.
"Why are you all crowding here? I want to take Miss Charlotte to see the Duke, do you want to go with me?!"
The fat butler Bruno spoke.
The young nobles were instantly frightened and retreated one after another.
As one of the few Blazing Sun Level 3 Transcendents in Boulder, the Duke's name is still very resounding.
Charlotte's heart moved slightly:
"Your Majesty the Duke...want to see me?"
"Yes, Miss Charlotte, the Duke is waiting for you in the study. When he says you have arrived, he will take you to see him first."
Bruno smiled flatteringly.
Charlotte nodded slightly, thoughtfully, and then continued to follow Bruno towards the palace with a reserved smile, feeling very energetic in her heart.
Being a high noble and having Bruno leading the way, Charlotte was naturally exempted from the personal inspection at the gate of the Duke's Palace.
However, just as she was about to enter the inner palace gate, she heard someone calling her name from behind.
Looking back, the black cat Ness was lifted by the back of the neck like a chicken by the Starry Knight who was guarding the mansion. He was meowing and struggling while looking at himself with a pitiful expression.
Next to him, stood a somewhat bewildered Quasimodo...
"It is the rule of the Duke's Palace that pets... are not allowed inside!"
The Starry Knight looked at the old servant with a serious expression.
Charlotte:……
