There are actually two gorgeous magic caravans prepared in the Marquis Mansion.
Marquis Luther and Lady Marianne sat in the front car, while Suldak, Hathaway, and Beatrice took the magic caravan in the back. The long skirt of this kind of dress was very troublesome, and Heather
Sitting on the sofa, Wei and Beatrice had to remain motionless like puppets in order to avoid wrinkles in their long skirts.
On the contrary, Suldak and Siya, who were sitting opposite, were more relaxed. Siya even picked up the cream cake prepared in the carriage and ate two pieces.
Suldak guessed that this plate of cake was eaten by Hathaway and Beatrice on their way back from the dance.
Two magic caravans drove out of the Marquis Palace one after the other.
Marquis Luther's Mansion is located in the aristocratic area of the city, not too far from Duke Newman's castle in the city, and there is no traffic jam on the road. I just saw other nobles riding carriages heading towards the castle.
The magic caravan stopped on a street outside the Duke's Palace. At this time, the traffic began to queue up, and the carriage moved very slowly.
When he arrived at the gate of the castle, Surdak discovered through the glass window that the square outside the castle could accommodate ten magic caravans stopping at the same time. Then the nobles got out of the car one after another. Even so, it still caused road congestion.
Almost all the nobles riding in the carriage were dressed in costumes. The square in the courtyard in front of the Duke's Palace was almost crowded with magic caravans, and the magic caravans behind could only stop and go.
The magic caravan of Marquis Luther's Mansion was parked at the main entrance of the castle, and Marquis Luther and Lady Marian stepped out of the carriage hand in hand.
Suldak, Hathaway, and Beatrice then stepped down from the magic caravan at the back, and the group walked towards the main entrance of the castle.
In order to show the importance that the Duke's Palace attaches to this ball, all the younger members of the Newman family stood in the welcoming queue at the door. Suldak saw Yin Di in the crowd at a glance.
I saw Yin Di standing in the second row of the welcoming team. The first row in the first row was a middle-aged nobleman who was about the same age as Marquis Luther.
When the middle-aged noble saw Marquis Luther, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically. The two chatted and laughed casually, and then the middle-aged noble asked Yin Di and the other two young people around him to salute Marquis Luther.
"That is the first heir to the Newman family, Marquis Lucian. He is also the father of Brewer, Indy, and Eustace."
Beatrice took Suldak's arm, put her lips to Suldak's ear and whispered.
Marquis Luther also turned around at this time and called Hathaway and Suldak to the front.
Beatrice quickly let go of her hand and held Thea, leaving only Hathaway and Suldak to go to the front.
Although Marquis Lucian was well-maintained, he still had some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He wore a dress full of golden dark lines, with a majesty of a superior between his brows, and his amber eyes stared at Hathaway's face.
, looked at it for a moment and then said with a smile:
"Hathaway, you are getting more and more beautiful. At first, I wanted Luther to choose one of my three sons, but although he liked Eustace very much, he was unwilling to marry you into the Newman family."
The young people of the Newman family around him seemed to have become his foil at this moment.
Marquis Lucian's eyes fell on Suldak. The pressure brought by the superior person and the sharp eyes seemed to shine into Surdak's spiritual consciousness, as if he was attacked by an external force. The center of the spiritual consciousness The sacred armor suit above the door suddenly emitted golden light, which actually forced Marquis Lucien's powerful mental pressure out of Surdak's spiritual consciousness.
Marquis Lucien's eyes narrowed, and then a friendly smile appeared on his face and he said:
"You are Suldak. I know that you have conducted the war in the Ganbu plane very well. Now I am also a little jealous of Luther's vision. I heard that you and Hathaway are about to hold a wedding. I congratulate you in advance."
He reached out and patted Suldak on the shoulder, and then said to a rather honest-looking young man next to him:
"Eustace, come entertain Uncle Luther and Aunt Marian and ask them to rest in the guest room."
Surdak looked at Eustace, a young man with thick lips. His body was also very strong, his arms were a little longer than ordinary people, his hands were wide and thick, and his palms were full of sword polish. Cocoon, with a broad-edged sword hanging on his waist.
Eustace and Marquis Luther were walking and chatting, and he always peeked at Hathaway when Marquis Luther wasn't paying attention.
Hathaway held Suldak tightly and seemed unwilling to talk to Eustace.
Beatrice was standing with Thea at this time and followed quietly.
The dance was held in the back garden of the castle. There was a large square. Hundreds of magic lamps were lit around the square. There was a band on a half-meter-high circular platform in the corner of the square. They were leaning against a trumpet. The walls are arranged in an orderly manner, and the soothing music comes from there.
Many people had gathered in the square, but Marquis Luther did not seem to stop in the square. Instead, he followed Eustace through the back garden square and into the building behind the castle.
When passing through the inner courtyard, Suldak and Hathaway saw Cole and Grant almost at the same time. A group of young nobles were holding wine glasses and standing under a cinnamon tree in the inner courtyard chatting.
When they saw Marquis Luther, they all saluted. Marquis Luther nodded slightly and walked over with Lady Marian.
Hathaway held Suldak's arm, followed Marquis Luther, and walked past the group of young people.
A group of young nobles looked at Grant in surprise. Only then did everyone realize that when Yin Di was rude to Hathaway last night, the man next to him was obviously not the so-called lover in Yin Di's mouth. He was probably Hathaway. Sevi's real fiancé.
Cole Norton also looked shocked and asked: "Grant, who is the groom's name on Hathaway's wedding invitation?"
The blond-haired Grant was also trying to remember, and said casually: "Only his name is written on it, not even his surname... What is his name?"
The attendant next to him leaned into Grant's ear and whispered a few words.
"Yes, it's 'Count Suldak, the Consul of Luyint City'. This is the first time I've seen a nobleman without a surname." Grant complained to everyone: "Yin Di just met the man from Luyint City the day before yesterday.
The consul is said to be an old man with completely white hair."
Cole Norton looked a little ugly and said with a wry smile:
"Grant, Yin Di must have made a mistake somewhere. The name of the knight Hathaway just held his arm is Suldak. He is not an old man. As for the fact that he does not have a surname, it is because he was originally from Hellanza City.
There is a knight without a surname. It was Marquis Luther who wrote a joint letter of recommendation to Emperor Charles, and he was fortunate enough to become a noble baron."
"The wedding invitation clearly says Count Suldak, but he is clearly a viscount..." Another young noble in the crowd stood up and said: "And how could the consul of Luyint City be a viscount? Yin Di
When Marquis Lucien met with the Archon of Luyint City the day before yesterday, I was also present, so how could he be the Archon of Luyint City?"
"Go and look at the list of young nobles for this investiture ceremony..." a young noble man shouted immediately.
The list was on the notice board at the entrance of the garden. The group of young people ran out of the inner garden quickly. Several ladies from noble families greeted them along the way, but they had no time to respond.
When everyone ran to the entrance of the garden out of breath, they finally saw the whiteboard notice in the crowd.
Surdak's name is impressively at the end, and behind the merit value, there is a suffix: 'Please pay tribute to the commander of the Bena coalition, Viscount Surdak: Recover the plane of Ganbu and eliminate the demon army.
.'
Among the twelve decorated young earls, only Surdak has this eye-catching suffix.
In other words, Surdak did not rely on the black magic crystal to advance to the title, but purely gained military merit by wiping out the demon army.
A group of young nobles stood in front of the notice board with some frustration. Someone said:
"He is indeed inside..."
The young noble who had just corrected Yin Di's name asked everyone: "How can the governor of Luyint City explain this?"
"Don't you know that after the victory of the Battle of Tarapagan under the command of Marquis Luther, Luyint City became the spoils of Marquis Luther..."
Grant said with a wry smile.
There was silence all around, and all the young nobles turned their attention to Cole Norton, who had a bitter look on his face. Some even said bluntly:
"Cole, it turns out that your love rival is a plane lord..."
Cole's face turned pale, and his body couldn't help shaking.
A consul or an earl may not be looked down upon by Cole Norton, but holding a plane in his hands means that Surdak has huge resources in his hands. Such noble lords are usually
He holds a huge army of lords in his hands.
Until now, the Norton family has only occupied some territory in a few planes, and has not completely controlled a plane.
Surdak now controls the Ganbu plane, and he has the full support of Marquis Luther behind him...
In this situation, it is difficult not to develop and grow, because the entire plane is pushing him forward...
…
The dance party finally kicked off when it got completely dark.
Marquis Luther was also invited out of the castle guest room by the attendant. He and the marquis in Bena City stood in the VIP area of the back garden, while Marquis Lucien of the Duke's Palace stood on the half-meter high platform where the band was, holding in his hand
Holding up the wine glass, he signaled that the music could stop for a while.
Suldak, Hathaway, and Beatrice escaped from the guest room early and walked around the garden of the Duke's Palace before arriving at the square.
Marquis Lucien stood in front of the stage, and the noisy voices below immediately became quiet.
Several magic lampposts shot into the sky from behind Marquis Lucian, making the stage where he was sitting appear particularly bright.
At least several hundred nobles gathered in the square, mostly young people attending the dance.
"Dear relatives and friends, welcome to the ball held on the eve of the investiture at Duke Newman's Palace. On behalf of my father, Duke Newman, I would like to express my congratulations to the twelve young people who have won this honor. You will be able to win countless awards in the province of Bena.
The young and promising nobles stand out, which is enough to prove how outstanding (rich) you are..."
After a lengthy speech, Marquis Lucien finally took his wife's hand and stepped onto the square dance floor in full view of everyone.
Later, other marquises also held the ladies' hands and lined up in a neat row on the dance floor. A group of big shots took the ladies for the first dance...
When the playing band finished this short piece of music, the rhythm musician put down the instrument in his hand, suddenly raised his hands and clapped them together vigorously, and then the young people pulled their partners onto the dance floor, men and women.
Arrange them in neat rows.
This kind of social dance is neat and joyful. The only drawback is that it takes up a lot of space.
No wonder the Duke of Newman's Palace wanted to hold the ball in the back garden, as only the square space here was enough.
Surdak danced two dances in one breath, and then looked at Siya holding up her skirt and looking at him eagerly. Her big blue eyes were filled with the words "This is the first time for me, a Naga mermaid, to dance with such joy."
's dance, can you ask me to dance...?'
Surdak hurriedly walked over and extended his hand to invite her.
A sweet smile appeared on Siya's face and she stepped forward happily...
Facts have proved that the mermaid Janna has an amazing talent in dancing, and Thea is like a sunflower that keeps spinning and blooming in Surdak's hand.
It attracted the attention of many young nobles at the ball.
But then Thea wisely ran back behind Hathaway and Beatrice and stood with their two maids.
Suldak also took good care of Thea, pulling Hathaway and Beatrice to chat by the pool, so that Thea could control the water flow by the pool to moisturize herself.
As one of the twelve young earls, Suldak attracted much attention at this ball, and many noble ladies tried to come over and strike up a conversation.
Surdak didn't want to spend any energy dealing with these aristocratic ladies, so he walked around the buffet area with a plate, and when he came back, he held a plate full of food in his hand.
In this way, he stood in front of Hathaway and Beatrice. Because they had been eating, the aristocratic ladies always had to be reserved and wait for Suldak to finish the food on the plate before approaching...
But it seems that there is always more food on the silver plate in Suldak's hand. Suldak thinks this is the best way to refuse to invite others to dance.
Bena City is particularly beautiful at night. The crescent moon is like a hook in the night sky, and a cool breeze blows. Hathaway is sitting on a bench in the pavilion by the pool.
A few people gathered together to chat, and Siya talked about the battle in Samp Town in the Ganbu plane. Twenty catapults threw flints day and night, destroying the thin city wall of Samp Town in just five days.
Speaking of the clear and beautiful Bella Normahu, Hathaway and Beatrice were invited to swim in the lake...
Many noble ladies heard that Surdak was the actual controller of the Ganbu plane, and they all wanted to get to know Surdak.
But I couldn't find any good opportunities all night...
