Affected by the season, many industries have temporarily suspended operations. Many nobles have also withdrawn from tedious family affairs and begun to socialize a lot. In winter, Bena City is filled with various dances, concerts, operas, and salons.
Winter hunting and so on.
Nobles tend to focus on this time to communicate with each other, deepen their relationships, and even talk about marriage, various forms of cooperative alliances, etc. The biggest topic this year is whether the Bena Legion led by Duke Newman still has any
There is no need to continue to stick to Handanar County in the Warsaw plane. Due to the Warsaw plane war, Bena Province needs to transport a large amount of supplies to Warsaw every month. Half of the elite troops in Bena Province are tied up in the Warsaw plane.
As a result, the local lords in Bena Province were frequently in distress in some of their private areas.
Due to the frequent private plane wars among the local lords of Bena Province, Duke Ryan lost a large number of supporters in the imperial capital. This made the lords of Bena Province lose their patience in waiting for the victory of the Warsaw plane. Everyone began to take advantage of various gatherings in winter.
, and began to discuss plans for next year.
The war faction in Bena Province now occupies the absolute right to speak in the House of Representatives. The victory in the war on the Maca plane has given the lords of Bena Province great confidence. Today's war enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, but a large number of nobles insist that
The most powerful troops in Bena Province should not be left in Warsaw. Even if some resources are lost, the main force should be withdrawn from the Warsaw plane.
Although the Boothman family is a long-established noble family in the Green Empire, what will happen if they offend the royal family? Although Prince James did not appear in public, the South Wind Legion and the Royal Knights privately withdrew all attacks on Booth.
The support of the Mann family means that for a long time in the future, the Warsaw plane will not receive any other support except inviting some private armies of small and medium-sized lords to enter the Warsaw plane.
…
The Marquis Lutheran Palace holds several dances every winter.
As the noble lord of the war faction in Bena Province and a member of the House of Representatives in Bena City, the ball held by Marquis Luther's Mansion was attended by the top nobles in Bena City. After nightfall, many invited nobles took magic rides.
The caravan arrived in all its glory.
The courtyard square in front of the castle was filled with gorgeous magic caravans. At this time, there were still many magic caravans driving into the Marquis Luther's Mansion. The two butlers were responsible for coordinating the parking of the magic caravans and the dinner issues of the relevant personnel.
Guards were stationed around the manor, and only those with an invitation letter from the Marquis Luther's Mansion could enter the Marquis' Mansion.
The hall of the castle was brightly lit, and some nobles attending the ball would bring out young people from their families. They would meet young people from other families at the ball, and gradually develop their own social circles.
Marquis Luther, Lady Marianne, and Lady Mabel stood in front of the hall to greet the guests. Together with them, Mrs. Mabel's three daughters, three young ladies dressed in gorgeous clothes, were observing the guests who had arrived.
The young nobleman attending the ball had an irrepressible smile in his eyebrows.
In the past, it was usually Hathaway who accompanied Marquis Luther to welcome guests.
Hathaway did not stand at the gate of the dance this time. Some nobles did not know why and thought that the wayward Miss Hathaway had fallen out of favor with Marquis Luther. Some noble ladies could not stand Hathaway.
They were quietly gloating in the hall, waving small folding fans in their hands, talking softly, laughing loudly, trying their best to maintain their ladylike posture.
When Hathaway walked down the stairs, the hall was already crowded with guests. Dozens of waiters were carrying a variety of exquisite food and various fine wines, shuttling through the hall. As long as there were guests with empty hands, the waiters would
Trays came one after another for guests to choose their favorite wines.
Suldak did not walk with Hathaway. He and Beatrice came to the hall first.
He had just woken up and had missed lunch and afternoon tea. His stomach was empty and he needed to fill his stomach with something. If he and Hathaway were walking together, he would probably not have a chance to eat at all.
Beatrice brought Suldak out first, and the two of them hid in a corner and ate a large piece of tiramisu and drank some apple juice. In order to prepare for this dance, Marquis Luther specially hired
When we arrived in Bena City, the top pastry chef came to make it on site. Surdak couldn't remember the last time he had such delicious food.
Suldak was about to put two honey-glazed lamb ribs on the plate when the music in the hall gradually stopped.
The chatting guests also stopped talking, and the hall became quiet. Everyone turned their attention to the balcony on the second floor of the hall.
Marquis Luther stood in front, and the two ladies, Marian and Mabel, stood behind Marquis Luther. Marquis Luther leaned on the railing with his hands, and first gave a speech, which was nothing more than thanking all the guests.
, and then slowly walked downstairs holding the hands of the two ladies.
The dance officially began, and Marquis Luther danced an opening dance with Lady Marian.
Just when many young nobles thought that Hathaway might fall out of favor, when the second dance started playing, Marquis Luther led his daughter Hathaway into the dance floor. A kind of nobleman invited female guests to enter the dance floor, and the music gradually started.
…
The three daughters beside Mrs. Mabel pouted and looked at the dance floor with great resentment. Regarding the favoritism of their father, Marquis Luther, the three ladies usually complained a lot, but apart from the usual few complaints, they could not do anything extra.
What to strive for.
Originally, this dance had a good start. Marquis Luther actually took the three sisters to the door to greet the guests. This made the three girls feel that their spring might be coming. But when the dance started, Marquis Luther took them.
Hathaway walked onto the dance floor, making their hearts that were ready to move completely violent.
Why do you love Hathaway so much? They are not bad sisters. Is it just because Hathaway has blond hair and blue eyes? I’m not convinced!
"Be careful to maintain your ladylike temperament..." Mrs. Mabel stood nearby and calmly told her three daughters.
Now the hall is full of young people who have rushed to attend the dance. Everyone is showing their best side to try to make a better impression on others.
At this time, of course, you cannot show such low-level expressions as envy, jealousy, and hatred.
The faces of the three young ladies, who were about to cry without tears, immediately squeezed out smiles, and the smiles were a little stiff.
But when he lowered his head and whispered, he was still talking about Hathaway.
"Why is it still her?"
"That's right! After so many dances, it's our turn. How are we inferior to that cat-eyed bitch?"
"that is……"
The third daughter, you and I kept talking endlessly.
Even Mrs. Mabel was a little bored, and she scolded with a straight face:
"Shut up, someone is coming. Pay attention to your temperament, always smile, and don't always show your worries on your face!"
As expected, scolding worked, and the three ladies agreed in silence:
"I know, mother, this time it's for us!"
The three young ladies began to chase the handsome young nobles on the dance floor, but not all young men could catch their eye.
…
After the song ended, there was applause from all around the dance floor.
Suldak walked up to greet Marquis Luther and Hathaway. Marquis Luther smiled and handed his daughter Hathaway's hand to Suldak.
It was only then that the surrounding nobles began to notice Surdak, and everyone began to inquire about his origins. Not many young people could be recognized by Marquis Luther, and Marquis Luther personally handed over his favorite daughter.
This heroic baron made everyone even more curious.
Marquis Luther stood by the dance floor and said a few words of encouragement to Suldak, and was surrounded by a group of other nobles...
This kind of party is indispensable for this kind of entertainment. Marquis Luther will be busy all night, and there are even two adjutants by his side. Some important promises and agreements will be written down in a notebook, so as not to forget that he is there the next day.
What was promised at the ball? Marquis Luther prides himself on being a nobleman who keeps his word.
When I saw Suldak walking onto the dance floor with Miss Hathaway's slender waist in his arms, Suldak's information was quickly picked out.
Yes, the name Surdak is no stranger to the ears of many nobles present, because they all signed their names and seals on a joint recommendation letter addressed to His Majesty Charles.
The knight named Surdak was promoted to a third-class noble baron in an exceptional manner because of his outstanding merits and he is a very rare paladin. He has the ability to perceive sacred magic, which is equivalent to half a magician...
Although Marquis Luther compensated these nobles with a lot of resources for this joint recommendation letter, Baron Suldak did rely on them to become a noble.
So when the name "Suldak" spread to everyone's ears, everyone knew that this young man was recognized by Marquis Luther. No wonder he was so close to Hathaway.
While the nobles were talking about Suldak, a group of noble ladies gathered together to talk about Hathaway - as the favorite daughter of Marquis Luther, she was not so perfect in the eyes of others, especially the upper-class ladies.
In the circle, one of the main reasons is that Hathaway was very rebellious when she was studying at the Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy. Marquis Luther once chose a fiancé for her, and their engagement was finalized.
I heard that it was a young baron in the city of Helensa named Sidney. He himself was not well-known, but this engagement was brokered by Marquis Luther and his friend Count Mond Goss. Marquis Luther also met him
Sidney, he felt that this young man was not bad, he was enterprising, and had fighting and commanding talents, but he lacked experience and needed to be baptized by war. Marquis Luther thought that he had a chance to become a lord, so he facilitated this marriage contract.
Almost all the nobles in Bena City know that Miss Hathaway does not approve of Baron Sidney. This matter has been going on for a long time. Later, I heard that Baron Sidney died on the battlefield in the Warsaw plane...
In fact, the nobles are still very concerned about this matter. Many people believe in the wheel of fortune. Some people are born with a lucky star, while others are born with a lucky star. Obviously Miss Hathaway is not so lucky... There are always people who will Hathaway.
Let’s talk about my fiancé’s death on the front line.
Now, when I see Hathaway and Suldak coming together, I feel a little bit unwilling, but I always say: Look! The green grapes on that vine are sour.
