"Haha, Mathil, you came just in time. Let me introduce you. This is Sir Ensberg." Seeing the girl approaching, Viscount Salk laughed and took the girl's hand, and then said to the side.
Moriarty said: "Moriarty, this is my daughter, Mathil."
"Nice to meet you, my dear Sir, welcome to Windsor Castle." The girl looked at the young man in front of her, smiled lightly, then gently pulled up the skirts on both sides, bowed and saluted.
"Thank you, this is my great honor, beautiful lady." Moriarty looked at the girl's green eyes and the perfect figure that was highlighted by bending down to salute, and smiled slightly.
"How about it, young man, are you fascinated by my daughter's beauty? Haha!" At this time, the old man suddenly said again.
"Of course, Miss Mathil is not only the pearl of Salk, but also the supreme treasure of the entire county of Kent. I think everyone who is lucky enough to meet Miss will be amazed at the magic of creation and jealous of God's preference.
"Moriarty has become accustomed to the old man's "crazy words", and he nods and praises loudly without any pretense.
"Haha, well said!" It can be seen that the Viscount really dotes on his daughter, and his eyes are full of love and joy. However, the old man soon changed the topic and said: "According to our tradition in Kent, with this
When a beautiful young lady meets for the first time, should she also give her a small gift to please her?"
"That's...natural." Unexpectedly, after such a short period of time, the Viscount began to ask questions for himself again. Moriarty raised his eyebrows and immediately agreed.
"Dear young lady, please forgive me for coming here in a hurry and not being able to prepare any gift worthy of boasting for you. Please use this flower to express my respect and love for you, young lady." With that, Moriarty turned to Thor.
Ke Mingzhu bowed and then handed a half-opened red rose pinned to her chest to the girl.
"this…"
For a moment, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded again.
Although everyone knows that today's dinner is to celebrate Viscount Salk's birthday, so even if there is a gift, it is a birthday gift for the Viscount. However, he just casually took off a corsage and gave it to Salk.
Pearl, this is really a bit hasty and absurd. After all, it goes against the traditional aristocratic etiquette.
"Unreasonable guy!"
"Childish boy!"
"A person who violates aristocratic etiquette!"
The most violent reaction was from the young nobles who followed Mathil closely. In their eyes, Moriarty's actions were tantamount to blasphemy against the goddess in their hearts. Even though Moriarty's family background was so
Prominent, but youthful passion still inspires these teenagers to stand up and safeguard the "dignity" of their goddesses without any scruples.
On the contrary, Mathil, who was the party involved, and Viscount Salk beside him remained calm and still looked at Moriarty with a smile.
"This morning, in the garden of Ivy Manor, I accidentally saw this rose embraced by dew. She was so delicate and fragrant. In the clear morning light, the red flower seemed like a rose.
It was like a solid flame, ready to burn through people's eyes. So I couldn't help but take it off and put it on my chest, hoping that this 'flame' would ignite my heart." Moriarty ignored the others.
The boy's scolding was just holding the red rose with his left hand, and carefully stroking the delicate petals of the rose with his other hand, as if he was stroking the tender face of the girl in front of him.
"What a beautiful poem." Unlike the jealous and indignant young nobles, the other nobles in the hall, especially the ladies and ladies, were all moved by Moriarty's poetic words.
And the smile on Mathil's face became even stronger.
"Unfortunately, after a long journey, this flame seems to be dimmed. Just like all the beauty in this world, it is dazzling but easy to pass away."
Having said this, Moriarty suddenly took a step forward until he was in front of Mathil, and at the same time, he snapped his fingers on his right hand.
Immediately, a ray of magical light poured down from Moriarty's fingertips like stardust, spreading slowly and densely on the petals of the rose like spring rain. In an instant, the flowers that were a little wilted just now miraculously bloomed again.
At the same time, a dreamlike halo surrounded the blooming rose, spinning left and right.
"But now, after seeing the beautiful Salk Pearl, this flame has become hot again. Perhaps your beauty is the greatest magic power in the world." After saying that, Moriarty stretched out his hand and held it.
This rose with magical radiance was gently placed in the girl's hand.
"Wow!"
"What did I see?"
"What's that trick?"
"Shut up, that's magic! Haven't you heard that that boy is already a mage apprentice?"
No one thought that an ordinary red rose would suddenly turn into a gift that no noble woman could refuse in Moriarty's hands.
"Thank you, Sir Ensberg. This fresh ivy flower is really beautiful." Mathil looked at the magic rose in her hand, then smiled sweetly and gently put it on her bun.
superior.
In an instant, the beautiful girl and the beautiful flowers set off each other, intertwined with each other, and became one.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." After finishing his "answer" skillfully, Moriarty stroked his chest and bowed.
"I really hope that I can visit Ivy Manor sometime. I have always heard that at least half of the beauty of Kent is preserved there." Suddenly, the girl said again.
"This is my honor. Here, I formally invite you to visit Ivy Manor at your convenience." Moriarty said according to noble etiquette.
"I accept your invitation." The girl smiled again, and Viscount Salk, who was standing beside her, nodded repeatedly.
"Huh, it's just a low-level magic juggling. What's so praiseworthy about it?" Just as everyone in the hall was secretly surprised or applauded for Moriarty's series of wonderful performances, behind Malty, a man with Mori
A young man in fine clothes who was about the same age as Arti suddenly took a step forward and said loudly.
"Oh, who are you?" Moriarty quickly glanced at the Viscount and found that the other person was also slightly surprised. He immediately confirmed that this was not another "program" arranged by the old man.
"Please allow me to introduce you, this is Lord Luo Yanta's eldest son, Sir Luo Yanta." Seeing the handsome young man suddenly jump out to spoil the fun, a hint of unhappiness flashed through Mathil's eyes, but she immediately replied.
Normal, maintaining an impeccable smile, he said to Moriarty: "Since Lord Luo Yanta has already gone to the royal capital, this time my father's birthday dinner will be attended by Sir Luo Yanta's representative."
"Haha, it turns out to be Sir Luo Yanta. Nice to see you here." Moriarty glanced at the young man and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
The Luo Yanta family is also a political force that cannot be underestimated in Kent County. Although its title is only a Lord, it is an old noble in the county with a profound foundation. In particular, the ancestors of this family once reached the level of viscount.
, and this family also owns a strong castle "Rheinburg" that is almost as good as Windsor Castle.
Unfortunately, during the civil strife in the kingdom a hundred years ago, the Luo Yanta family was deprived of the title of viscount and a large area of land due to the issue of which side they took, and was reduced to an ordinary lord. Since then, the members of the Luo Yanta family have been working hard to restore the glory of their ancestors.
And business struggles. According to reliable sources, after three generations of unremitting efforts, the Luo Yanta family may be re-awarded a baronetcy by the royal family in the near future. By then, there will be a new situation in Kent County with two viscounts and two barons at the same time.
"Nice to meet you too, Sir Ensborg." Although the expression on his face clearly showed contempt and hostility, in accordance with aristocratic etiquette, Fox Luo Yanta still saluted Moriarty.
.
"Sir Luo Yanta, you seem to be dissatisfied with the gift I just gave to Miss Marty. Am I understanding it correctly?" Moriarty asked preemptively.
"Yes, Sir Ensberg. I think it is just a bad magic sideshow. It is far from being called a gift, let alone the beauty of Miss Malti." The young man's words were quite sharp and left no room for error.
"Oh? Sir, do you also know magic juggling?" Moriarty asked, unmoved.
"Sir Ensberg, not all nobles spend their time settling accounts. Although I am not a mage, I still think I know such gadgets."
If the boy's previous sentence could be said to be sharp, then this sentence seems quite rude.
As we all know, the Ensborg family is the richest family in Kent. But the young man, in such a public place, alluded to him as a vulgar businessman who only wants to make money. This is almost pointing at Moriarty's nose and scolding him.
.
"Has the jealous rage made Fox Luo Yanta lose his mind, or is it that the Luo Yanta family can't wait to start showing off its power and challenge Ensberg?"
More than one of the surrounding nobles was thinking this way. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.
"Fox, you..." Obviously, it was not in the interests of the Salk family to embarrass the Ensberg family in Windsor Castle. The girl immediately wanted to stop her, but Moriarty stopped her.
"So, in Sir Luo Yanta's opinion, what kind of gift is suitable for Miss Malty?" Moriarty took a step forward and asked in a deep voice.
"Nature must be a precious and rare treasure." The young man held his head high and looked at Moriarty without hesitation. Then he suddenly turned around and said loudly to Mathil: "Here, I am willing to give my
The Hanoverian horse from Avelly is dedicated to the Salk Pearl.”
