Chapter 350 The Empress! (Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month)
At this dinner,
The woman's identity is a mystery.
But it's not a secret to some.
On the seat in the corner, Judge Michus, who came from the second adjudication envoy of the Shangjing Adjudication Division, sat on the brightly lit seat, and his iconic black robe flashed with a breathtaking luster in the light.
She is different from the mysterious black swan-like woman at the banquet who attracted all the attention.
Most of the guests invited to attend Congressman Kenneth's daughter's birthday dinner tonight are rich or wealthy.
However, when almost everyone's eyes fell on that man, they would all move away quietly and in unison.
Probably for the vast majority of distinguished members of Congress and ministers in the United Tagos Republic, almost no one is willing to take the initiative to deal with those people in the Adjudication Department wearing black robes unless it is absolutely necessary.
This is not just the simple awe of ordinary people,
More importantly, it is a wise and self-protective political wisdom and a way of doing business.
For a moment, except for the black-robed execution team members who were scattered around the seats, a "forbidden area" seemed to be formed around Judge Micheus.
Although it obviously occupies the main seat of the banquet, it feels like it is separated from the courtyard and is completely independent from the entire banquet.
"interesting."
Inquisitor Michus leaned lazily on his seat, holding a glass of strong liquor, a specialty of Meiji Mansion, which men called "water of life". Under the light of the dinner party, the amber color swayed in the goblet.
Intoxicating.
The middle-aged man swayed and gently took a sip of the tangy aroma of wine, and then said with a half-smile to the vice-captain of the black-robed execution team who stood beside him and stared at him, waiting for orders:
"I have known the stupidity of human beings for a long time, but tonight's dinner is all about the elites among human beings. I thought that as elites, they should be smarter."
The captain of the black-robed execution team heard the big man sitting next to him suddenly speak, carefully considered the meaning of the other person's words, and said carefully,
"Are you talking about Lady Alita?"
Judge Michus shrugged noncommittally and said with a smile, "I can understand that sheep avoid wolves because of fear, but what I didn't expect was that they would develop a love for a lion instead. It's really interesting."
"But why would Alita-sama"
The captain of the black-robed execution team glanced at the woman in black-robed clothes walking towards the strange boy, quickly looked away and spoke in a cautious voice.
"Haha. How do we know what the lion is thinking?" Judge Michus smiled half-heartedly and deliberately squinted his eyes and asked, "You don't think Lady Alita would have any thoughts about a human man, do you?"
The vice-captain of the black-robed execution team suddenly turned pale, quickly lowered his head and said nervously, "My subordinates don't dare! My subordinates don't dare!"
The hierarchy in the Adjudication Department is very strict, and almost no one dares to make such arrogant comments about superiors, not to mention that the woman who airborne from Shangjing to Meiji Mansion is not an ordinary superior.
Michus smiled indifferently. As a judge under the Second Judge, he did not have much respect for this "hypocritically benevolent" Third Judge, and he may not even have the thought of replacing him one day.
As for the other party deliberately separating from him when entering the venue tonight, hiding his identity, going to experience life or do something else, he didn't care about that.
Thinking of this, Judge Michus couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Tonight’s banquet,
There's only one thing he cares about.
That is whether this boring "mission" can be ended early.
The black curtain on the second floor of the mansion slowly opened. The invited top orchestra of Meiji Mansion had finished tuning. The conductor in a white tuxedo standing at the front raised the baton in his hand with a full smile on his face.
.
Along with his gesture of raising the baton, the melodious piano prelude flowed in the courtyard.
When the medley of cello and violin came, the men and women who had found their dance partners in the courtyard slowly walked to the open space, holding each other's outstretched hands with reserved smiles behind them.
It was precisely at this time that Higashinohara, who was "accompanied" by the capable agents of the Divine Eagle Bureau and was about to leave through the side door after completing his "messenger mission", heard a cold voice like a black swan coming from behind.
"Can I dance for a while?"
——A pure black evening dress, a small black shirt, the slender arms and face are covered with a layer of black gauze, and the long black hair seems to be hiding something. At first glance, it looks mysterious and cold but also transparent.
With a hint of nonchalance.
It's like walking in the flower garden in the morning, accidentally seeing a flower that she likes, and then casually sending her an invitation.
Higashinohara turned around and looked at the woman with a cold temperament like a black lotus in front of him with some surprise. He never thought why a strange woman who he had never met would come to him.
Is it a charity to see that I am in a bad situation?
Higashinohara had heard that there were many "rich women" at such high-society dinner parties, who specialized in hunting young men who stepped into such occasions on tiptoe and wanted to stand out.
It's just that Higashino didn't have this idea.
He just delivered the letter.
"Sorry, maybe the host of this banquet does not welcome me, I think I should leave now." Higashinohara shook his head and declined.
Hearing this, the woman wearing a black veil raised her eyes and lightly glanced at the capable agent of the Eagle Bureau who was following Higashinohara, and said with some indifference, "Is that so? The dance has already started, and I want to invite him to dance.
Can we dance?"
The woman said this in a calm tone, but there was an undeniable feeling.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how eye-catching or mysterious the woman in front of him is, the tall man from the Eagle Secret Service following Higashinohara, as a security guard for the banquet, will not violate the will of Congressman Kenneth who is hosting the banquet.
.
However, at this moment, when the man in black faced the woman's words, he opened his mouth to refuse, but found that he could not say the words of rejection no matter what.
It's not that I'm embarrassed, it's that my vocal cords suddenly lost the ability to express language.
The whole person looked like a drowning fish, looking helplessly underwater at the people on the surface, spitting bubbles in his mouth but unable to make any sound.
This feeling made him a little frightened, and he subconsciously wanted to take action.
Then the next second.
The man in black was even more shocked to find that, let alone the gesture of rejection, he was frozen in place at this moment, and even the muscle expressions on his face were stiff.
Higashinohara was a little surprised that the man in black didn't refuse.
He glanced around. The guests in the courtyard, even the man with his arms around his dance partner, all focused on this woman from time to time.
Is this woman's identity unusual?
Dong Yeyuan guessed in his heart.
At this time, he looked at the slender arm covered with black gauze that the woman stretched out.
Higashinohara pondered for two seconds, remembering something that had just happened in the corridor next to the courtyard, and couldn't help but smile.
So he stretched out his hand, gently took the woman's inviting hand, intertwined their fingers politely, and hugged the woman's waist with his other hand, and then the two of them walked from the side door of the corridor to the courtyard.
Who is that man?
Seeing this sudden scene, many single dignitaries in the courtyard who were ready to send out invitations were stunned.
Who would have thought that the noble black swan that attracted countless attention at tonight's dinner would actually face an unknown person with an ordinary appearance?
Well, the young man with a "somewhat handsome" appearance stretched out his hand, and his face suddenly became uncertain.
Among these people, of course, was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Tagos Republic, Mr. Salvin, who had just met Higashinohara at the resting place in the corridor.
In fact, from the moment the woman in black evening dress walked alone into the courtyard of the mansion for the dinner tonight, many people's eyes fell on her.
His Excellency Minister Salvin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is one of them, and he is also the man whose status is most likely to win the favor of the Black Swan at this banquet tonight.
For this reason, our Minister Salvin even sent someone away in advance to send away the female companion who would accompany him to the banquet tonight, completely ignoring the sad and sad look on her face when she left, just for the "desperate move" at the beginning of the dance.
This is why the conversation just ended,
When Congressman Kenneth said "the dance begins," Minister Salvin's face immediately showed a look of excitement.
But at this moment, Minister Salvin, who was finishing adjusting the collar of his shirt in the middle of the courtyard, never thought of it.
He just came over with his front foot,
I want to extend an invitation to that black swan.
On the back foot, a young man who had just been abandoned by them gained the favor of Black Swan faster than him.
In the center of the courtyard, Minister Salvin stood there for a moment like a goose, his expression suddenly so gloomy that he could shed tears.
He looked around,
It seemed as if I could hear countless guests laughing silently at this scene.
hateful!
What a reckless guy!
Minister Salvin stared at Higashinohara with a sinister look.
When he turned to leave, he calmly waved to the ability user agent from the Eagle Bureau on the side and said something in his ear.
On the dance floor in the courtyard, to the melodious music, men and women danced on the bluestone floor tiles, and the skirts of their skirts rotated like lotus flowers in the lotus pond. The air was filled with the strong smell of hormones and expensive perfume.
On the dance floor, most of the men control the rhythm and lead the women to spin.
Only Higashinohara was different from the woman wearing a black veil who looked like a black swan. From the moment she stepped into the courtyard, the other party firmly controlled the rhythm.
every rotation,
every jump,
Every move.
Lift legs, step, swing arms
Always so elegant and precise.
That belongs to the queen
No, the momentum and power of the empress.
For a moment, the two people, who looked like flowers and leaves blooming and closing under the light, suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention in the courtyard.
Under the spotlight, no one noticed that a faint mist suddenly floated up from the side door, and several men in dark green coats walked out.
In the courtyard, Higashino had a little background in Latin dance in his previous life.
Coupled with the comprehensive control over the body now that all attributes of the body have been fully developed, every muscle line in the body is gradually forming muscle memory.
After a few ups and downs of the melodious music, he, who was a little jerky at first, quickly caught up with the pace of the "black swan" in front of him.
Gradually, the opponent's strength also aroused Higashinohara's inner desire to win, and he began to try to regain the initiative in this dance.
Even if he was passive in the beginning.
The woman opposite seemed to have noticed something, her red lips under the black veil were slightly raised, and the outline of Higashinohara was reflected in her slender dark blue almond-shaped eyes through the veil.
At the same time, Higashinohara also glanced at the other party's white chin and slightly raised red lips when he occasionally turned around and raised his black veil.
Is she smiling?
Did he really meet a rich woman who went hunting with high-class people?
Higashinohara suddenly looked strange.
The melodious violin sound gradually soothes,
Higashinohara finally began to alternately control the rhythm of the dance with the black swan-like woman in front of him.
When a song comes to an end,
Under the guidance of Higashinohara, the woman in front of him took a step like a sword being unsheathed, and danced neatly close to Higashinohara's chest.
The slender arm outlined a dazzling arc under the light, and then his wrist gently rested on Higashinohara's shoulder.
Bang bang bang—!
Suddenly there were people applauding around,
Then there was a wave of applause.
However, at this moment, a soft whisper came from Higashinohara's chest.
