After roughly calculating the time, Ronald dressed up and took a carriage to the organ area.
The place where Countess Leticia lives is a manor rented by her own investment, and the dances prepared at night will be held by her.
As for the part that other forces participate...
At best, the Bureau of Investigation will have someone around to provide the necessary protection.
The carriage drove all the way to the organ area, passed through a lush green area and arrived at its destination.
Ronald could see clearly in the car.
Outside the Countess' manor, some private carriages were already parked outside the manor, and the low-level servants who were inconvenient to enter were standing around and waiting for their masters.
And in further distances, there are some ordinary people who just come to join in the fun, but after all, they are the venue of the Countess dance, so they dare not go around casually, just join in the fun outside.
The distance gradually narrowed, and the carriage Ronald was riding slowly stopped outside the gate.
Still before everyone, an investigator dressed in plain clothes called off the carriage in advance and said with a respectful tone:
"Mr. Ronald, you are here too."
"Um."
Ronald smiled and nodded, then jumped out of the carriage.
He paid the money to the coachman first, and then he continued to speak to the investigator:
"You should have received a list of participants from the Countess before, and you know I'm coming."
"How about it, is there anything I need to pay attention to tonight?"
The investigator next to Ronald immediately replied:
"We have actually dealt with the troublesome things in advance."
"However, because Ms. Letticia invites more people, please be careful not to expose our things in the next dance."
“…”
"I see."
Hearing the investigator's only request, Ronald subconsciously collected the black mist hidden in his cuffs.
The Countess' background on the mysterious side forced him to guard against it.
So before going out, Ronald prepared the power of "fury" to use it for reconnaissance.
Next, I chatted casually for a few more words.
Ronald then said goodbye to the investigator, then walked to the door of the manor to submit an invitation letter to enter the dance.
He came relatively early.
At this time, the dance party has not officially begun.
But even so, Ronald could still see Letticia wearing a red dress walking slowly in the courtyard, greeting the guests who came to the manor with a very skillful expression.
In addition, Leticia was surrounded by two tall maids, holding trays in her hands and walking behind her left and right positions.
With Ronald's keen hearing, he could even detect what the other person was talking to someone.
Even strangers I've never seen before.
Leticia can properly bring the relationship between the two sides closer with just a few simple words, and her excellent communication skills are fully revealed.
A few breaths passed.
Just as Ronald observed the courtyard that had been arranged as a dance scene, Leticia saw him while talking.
He smiled and said a few words to the guest.
The countess told the maid not to follow, picked up a goblet from the tray, and walked towards Ronald alone.
Almost close to Ronald, Leticia spoke:
"Mr. Ronald, I'm glad to accept your invitation."
"Come to my side tonight, do you need anything?"
“…”
Ronald thought for a few seconds and organized the language to read out the character plan that had been determined long ago with emotional color:
"Madam, you should know that I work for the Chamber of Commerce now."
"This kind of dance is also a normal job requirement."
"You don't need to pay too much attention to me, I'm really not used to such occasions where there are too many people."
“…”
Before traveling through time, Ronald probably read several classic books on psychology.
Based on the reaction of the other party when he met the countess last time, and her status, this reaction is probably the best way to attract the other party's curiosity.
The countess' reaction on his face or his emotions.
It is indeed exactly in line with what Ronald expected.
After looking at Ronald's young and handsome face and saying this kind of awkward rejection.
Instead, Leticia showed joy in her eyes.
She boldly pressed her right shoulder against Ronald, and she continued to speak in a teasing tone:
"Since Mr. Ronald doesn't like this kind of occasion, of course, Leticia won't do anything that is difficult."
"You shouldn't mind this glass of wine as an apology between us?"
“…”
The countess said this very ambiguously.
The "appointment" she mentioned actually has no clear direction.
so……
Was Ronald drinking to apologize to her, or was she apologizing to Ronald?
Faced with this kind of ambiguous temptation in speech.
Ronald chose to implement the character he has always shown.
A very embarrassed expression appeared on his face. He hesitated to take a step back before he refused:
"Sorry, Ms. Leticia."
“I really don’t have the habit of drinking.”
Ronald in front of him thought he needed to apologize.
Hearing this response, the Countess claimed to use this sentence to tempt Ronald's character.
Since it is this relatively weak personality.
Then the subsequent conversation induction will be much more convenient.
So he raised his eyebrows, and Leticia stood up straight, asking in a troubled tone:
"Is Mr. Ronald not drinking alcohol because of a question of faith, customs of the region, or other reasons?"
Ronald replied with a wry smile:
"It's a personal habit."
“I don’t really like the feeling that alcohol brings.”
"Oh--"
Hearing this response, Leticia's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"So Mr. Ronald's rejection is simply not to like to give Leticia, so he is reluctant to give face even this small cup of drink that is absolutely unintoxicating?"
Ronald immediately shook his head and denied:
"Ms., I don't mean that."
"This is really just a personal habit..."
"Okay." Just as Ronald explained at the beginning, Leticia raised her hand to stop him, and drank the wine in her hand with a grievance. The countess' tone also eased down.
.
"Mr. Ronald, I probably understand what you mean."
"But out of the desire of a studious person, I hope I can have a good talk with you after the dance tonight. People like you who have books will never have any concerns about drinking when teaching knowledge, right?"
"Greed, it is the country with the most open academic atmosphere at present."
After saying that, without waiting for Ronald to answer, Leticia nodded and walked towards the rest of the courtyard:
"If there are new customers coming, I won't bother you."
“…”
Watching the Countess's back as he left, Ronald felt aggrieved.
But I was very happy.
After all, the news from the power of "fury" was the whole process of the countess talking to him, and he was in a very good mood!
