In a modern-style luxury manor in the south of Paris, a top-notch cocktail party was being held.
The host of the reception, Mia, is two years older than Elena, but she and Elena are best friends.
Elena is the only daughter of the Rothschild family, and the friends she makes are of course not too poor. Although she is not as wealthy as the Rothschild family, Mia's father is also one of the leading wealthy businessmen in Paris.
Although Mia's appearance is not as good as Elena's, her communication skills are much better than Elena's. She is very popular and she invites many celebrities.
After all, the main purpose of this cocktail party is to meet your idol. You can't make your idol feel shabby or looked down upon by him.
For ordinary friends, Mia just dealt with it a little and let them go have fun with the others. She had been waiting for the important person to show up.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long. A tall young man in a black evening dress entered with several young people of the same age.
"Black gold!" Mia immediately greeted him, showing an intoxicating smile.
"Mia, you are so beautiful today!" the tall young man praised with a smile.
Mia was wearing an orange-red dress today. Her temperament was elegant, noble and generous, and eye-catching. The eyes of the companions brought by the tall young man all shone.
"Haha, don't you only have eyes for your cousin Elena? Why do I also exist?" Mia chuckled.
"That's different. You and Elena are two different styles of women. I like my cousin, but that doesn't mean I can't praise you!" Heijin said seriously.
"You are so tactful, you said all the nice things!" Mia rolled her eyes.
"I'm telling the truth. With our relationship, do we need to say anything polite?" Heijin introduced with a smile, "These are my friends from the Knights, let's bring them together to have fun!"
"I'm so familiar with you, so I've met them several times!" Mia said with a smile, "You're welcome, just have fun. As long as you have the skills, you can go hang out with the women here!"
"Sister Mia, can I pick you up?" a young man joked.
Hearing this, Mia chuckled and said: "It depends on your methods and whether you can seduce me. I am single now and I don't have anyone I like, so it's not like you don't have a chance!"
"Really?" When several people heard this, they were all filled with confusion.
However, Heijin shouted with a straight face: "Why don't you join in the fun? Just go and have fun!"
Black Gold was obviously a bit majestic. After being drunk like this, several people ran away in despair to find the person they liked.
"Black Gold, when will Byron Paladin arrive?" Mia asked impatiently.
"Don't worry, he will definitely be there today, within an hour at most!" Heijin promised, "I made a promise to him!"
"Well, that's good!" Mia said with great expectation, "It is rumored that the Paladin Byron is very heroic and has extraordinary strength. Today I can finally see him in person!"
"You also said you don't have a sweetheart, isn't that true?" Heijin said with an ambiguous smile.
"It's different. They just admire the Paladins!" Mia said angrily, "I admire each of the twelve Paladins. Are they all my favorites?"
"The concept of worshiping someone who is far away from you is just a thought. If Byron pursues you, will you refuse?" Heijing asked.
"Well...it seems like it's really hard to refuse!" Mia's face turned slightly red, and then she dropped the subject and said, "Let's not talk about it for now, what's going on with Elena recently?"
Hearing this, Heijin sighed and said, "I don't know, my uncle hasn't let me see Elena recently!"
"Ah? You can't even see Elena?" Mia asked in surprise, "I called her yesterday and she said she couldn't come out!"
"It doesn't seem to be aimed at me!" Heijin muttered softly.
"Huh? What did you just say?" Mia didn't hear it clearly.
"Oh, it's nothing!" Heijin sighed, "I thought I made my uncle unhappy before, so he wouldn't let me see Elena. Now it seems that there is something wrong with Elena, she is basically under house arrest.
Already."
"Yeah, I don't know what happened, does it matter?" Mia was also very worried.
Just when the two were suspicious, Mia's cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
"Hey, it's Elena calling!"
Mia quickly got through.
"Mia, will the reception start now? I'm almost there!"
"Elena? Where are you?" Mia was startled for a moment, then realized, "You want to go to my manor?"
"Of course, didn't you say you were holding a cocktail party tonight?"
"But didn't you say you couldn't come out?"
"Hehe, I'm out now, I'll be there soon!"
"Really? Then I'll pick you up outside! Well, that's it, bye!"
Mia hung up the phone and happily said to Heijin: "It seems we are too worried. Elena is fine, she will be here soon!"
"Okay, I'll pick her up with you!" Heijin hadn't seen Elena for two days, and he was a little excited.
…
Mia and Heijin came to wait outside the manor.
Not long after, I saw two figures, a man and a woman, appear.
"Mia!"
Elena ran directly forward and gave Mia a warm hug.
"Elena, it's a good thing you're here. Without you to accompany me today, this wine party would be so boring!" Mia said happily.
"You're not telling the truth, are you?" Elena giggled, "Aren't you afraid that I will steal your limelight?"
"Tch, Meimei, I, Mia, am no worse than you. Although you are prettier than me, my audience is larger than yours!" Mia snorted.
"I don't believe it!" Elena argued, "My lady's suitor can spare Paris three times, how can he be inferior to you?"
"Okay, you two, that's enough!" Heijin next to him said with a headache on his face.
Elena turned around and asked: "Cousin, who do you think is more popular, me or Mia?"
"Of course it's my lovely eldest lady!" Heijin said without thinking.
"Hehe, Mia, did you hear that?" Elena challenged.
"Who in Paris doesn't know that the Black Gold Knight is the guardian of your Miss Elena? What does his opinion mean when you ask him?" Mia said disapprovingly, "The competition must be fair and just!"
"Then how do you want to compare?" Elena asked.
"Of course, let's go in and compete. There are many celebrities inside. Whoever is hit on more times will be more attractive!" Mia asked with a smile, "How do you like it? Do you dare to compete?"
Elena was so excited that she immediately said: "Let's compete, what's wrong with you?"
It was not the first time for her to participate in banquets, dances, cocktail parties, etc. She was basically the protagonist every time and was talked to the most. She didn't believe she would lose to Mia.
"Okay, let's go in then!" Mia chuckled.
"Yeah!" Elena nodded repeatedly.
But soon, she seemed to remember something, turned around and ran back to Xiao Chen, saying to Mia: "By the way, I will introduce someone to you!"
