Seeing Hathaway and her sister walking into the banquet hall, Baron Harvey Gophero shrank subconsciously.
He was holding a wine glass and chatting with two aristocratic ladies, hoping to leave a good impression in their hearts, but now he completely lost the interest. He drained the wine in the glass and found an excuse to get the wine and put it aside.
Two noble ladies.
The Suldak who made him feel extremely disgusted walked to the wine table, picked up two glasses of golden cider, brought them to his sisters Beatrice and Hathaway, and whispered to them with a mean smile on his face.
As he spoke, Harvey wanted to rush up and slap Hathaway twice in front of him, causing him to lose all face.
However, I heard that he was a knight from the guard camp. He touched the sword at his waist. Harvey only took a step and retracted his foot.
I still remember when I was a child, I often followed the skirts of the two of them and ran around the yard.
I don’t know when the relationship between the Luther family and the Gophero family became tense. The two families no longer had the close interactions they had before. Harvey could no longer get close to Hathaway, but his sister Beatrice
Liz has always been Hathaway's best friend, and she has never changed since she was a child...
Now that the family is in a predicament, especially since the current predicament was caused by himself, Harvey no longer has the courage to appear in front of Hathaway.
He found a corner to sit down and secretly stared at the blonde Hathaway talking with other noble ladies in the banquet hall. Her lips were like the most delicate red roses, and her eyes were like the most magnificent grandmother.
Emerald, her every frown and smile are so charming.
But Baron Suldak left the two of them behind and was greeting other nobles in the banquet hall. He seemed to know Baron Ned Morse from the security camp in Bena City. Baron Morse was taking him with him.
Meet other young nobles.
Harvey Gofello stared at Suldak who was surrounded by a group of young nobles. It seemed that the nobles in Bena City had accepted this country bumpkin who didn't even have a last name. He raised his head and took a sip of the wine in the glass.
Drink dry.
He didn't listen to a word of what Count Gophero told him.
He didn't even want to go up and say a few words to Suldak. When he saw that extremely disgusting face, he wanted to vomit.
Suldak's face is not ugly, but every time he sees this handsome face full of sunshine, Hathaway's bright smile on that face will appear in his mind, and those green eyes were originally
It should belong to him. Now... in the future... it might become even more confusing in front of him. He simply didn't dare to think about it...
He felt like a coward.
Baron Harvey asked himself: 'Am I a fool? Am I a coward?'
‘No, I’m not! I want to be a warrior who fights for love!'
He replied firmly in his heart. He touched the sword at his waist, tightened the hilt of the sword that was buried under his forehead, took two steps and stopped again.
Now he can't even take out a gold coin from his pocket, and he owes a huge debt.
Had he caused a scene at the Earl of Barham's ball, he might not have been invited to such a ball.
He suddenly remembered that a friend had given him an idea, asking him to marry the daughters of two wealthy merchants in Bena City and use their dowries to repay the debts he owed.
The discussion was not over at that time, and he rejected it righteously.
What a big joke. When did the heir of the Gophero family become so depressed? He is not willing to sacrifice his own happiness just for that little ridiculous amount of money. Now that he thinks about it again, it seems that it is not impossible...
He is planning to take a chance, maybe he can marry the daughter of the earl's family.
But he wanted to get Hathaway even more. Looking at the generosity of Marquis Luther, he felt that if Suldak was replaced by himself, with the support of Marquis Luther, he could accumulate military merits in a few years and be promoted to a marquis.
, to restore the family's glory.
Why should all good things belong to that guy Suldak?
It seemed that he was not the only one who had objections to Surdak at this dance. He saw another young man chatting animatedly with several ladies from noble families, while paying attention to Surdak's side from time to time.
There was no movement, and he kept looking towards Hathaway and his sister Beatrice, with a kind of obsession hidden in his green eyes.
Harvey knew the young nobleman, but he didn't have much contact with him. Their friends were not in the same circle.
That is Luke, the son of the Newman family, one of the many sons of Duke Newman. I heard that he also likes Hathaway, but he is much younger than Hathaway, and Hathaway has always treated him like a brat.
Boy, who cares about what a little kid says?
Although Harvey didn't like him either, he hesitated for a moment and decided to walk over with the wine glass in hand...
…
Just as Harvey Gofello walked towards Luke Newman, Hathaway and Beatrice also noticed Harvey Gofello. Hathaway poked her best friend beside her and whispered.
Asked: "Beatrice, your brother is over there...should we go up and say hello?"
After speaking, her eyes fell behind Harvey.
Beatrice followed Hathaway's gaze and saw Harvey walking towards Luke Newman, and said with some confusion: "Don't he and Luke dislike each other? When did they get together?"
"Then he said: "Forget it, I don't want to hear anything about the family from his mouth. It's the same words every time, as if selling me can revitalize the family. He has never thought about how to do it.
Restore the past glory of the Gophero family with your hands and mind."
Hathaway smiled softly and said: "Maybe he has tried his best!"
Beatrice, who had a round face, smiled a little reluctantly and countered to her best friend: "Don't you want to talk to him? Every time he sees you, his eyes hardly move."
"I heard he's been in some trouble lately." Hathaway avoided answering Beatrice's question.
"I owe a lot of money, but I don't have the money to help him." Beatrice curled her lips. She was still very complaining about her family.
Suldak walked around holding the wine glass, and finally turned back and found Hathaway and Beatrice next to the dance floor.
They rejected the two young nobles who took the initiative to talk. Suldak came up and asked: "What are you two talking about?"
Hathaway smiled and said: "We are talking about when you can take us to Wall Village."
Suldak thought for a while, he couldn't keep summoning him all the time and accompany Hathaway and Beatrice back to the city of Halanza.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Sorry! I'm afraid I can't go with you this time. I may have to go to Constantinople to deal with some things."
Hathaway and Beatrice stared at him with disappointment in their eyes.
Suldak quickly added: "But you can take the magic airship directly to the city of Halanza a few days later, and we will meet up at Halanza!"
“This is a good idea.” Beatrice’s eyes lit up and she said.
Suldak held Beatrice's hands with both hands, looked into her chestnut eyes and said: "Before that, I want to see Count Gofello once, hoping that he will agree to my proposal to his daughter."
“It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t agree...” Beatrice said firmly.
Suldak smiled and said: "Maybe he is willing to change his mind this time."
Suldak always thought that this kind of dance was boring. Fortunately, Hathaway and Beatrice were with him this time. After a few laps on the dance floor, he found that the dance was coming to an end. He tried to get to know those young people.
Nobles, but after reporting their names, many nobles looked down on Surdak, with an arrogance that could not be concealed in their eyes.
However, due to Marquis Luther, these young nobles could chat with Surdak for a few words. Even if they had no chance to come forward to talk, they would stand in the outer circle and smile at Suldak, which was regarded as a formal greeting.
Suldak didn’t care about the looks of those people, and waited until the ball was over before holding Hathaway and Beatrice’s hands and boarding the magic caravan of Marquis Luther’s Mansion.
