Devil's Journey

Chapter 106 Before the dance
"Mother, I...will not leave." The girl stood in front of the window with her eyes downcast, the light wind blowing the tulle in front of the window, and the hazy sunlight slightly smudged her figure.

The half-body phantom of a beautiful woman with a serious expression appeared on the magic communicator on the dressing table. Hearing this, the beautiful woman snorted and said, "What? Do you want to be destroyed together with the Bathory family?"

"Mother, my name is Alice--Batori, and my identity is the Marquis of Batori, the lord of hundreds of thousands of Batori people. If destruction is inevitable, I will face my subjects together Yes." The girl's voice was soft, but extremely firm.

On the other end of the communicator, the beautiful woman with gorgeous appearance and cold temperament is like a thorny rose in full bloom. What does not match the cold temperament is her enchanting and hot figure, plump just right, like a ripe crystal fruit.

"Listen, my daughter, you have to know that such a death is meaningless. You can only pass on the Bathory family if you keep your life. Who will revive the Bathory family? Could it be those side branches that have already escaped?"

"Can the demons really be driven away? Mother, you should also be facing the attack of the demon army. Only by surviving can there be hope? Maybe maybe you are right, but I will not change my mind, my family, The subjects are here, and I will be here until it is over."

The tiredness in the girl's voice made people feel pity, and the firmness in the tiredness made people sigh, and it also made the beautiful woman on the other end feel a headache. After a long silence, the beautiful woman said helplessly: "I'll put on your teleportation bracelet, I hope you can figure it out sooner, alas."

A long time after the magic projection disappeared, the girl leaned against the window sill as if powerless, trembling slightly, her eyes full of bewilderment, like a lost lamb, her snow-white hands were clasped in front of her chest, tightly clutching a pair of gemstone pendants , as if holding a life-saving straw.

"There may be a little accident at the dance later, you all should be smart." Julian seemed a little too excited, with murderous intent hidden in his eyes, originally he just wanted to do something new at the dance.

But now Julian has changed his mind. He wants to play a big trick to impress the nobles here and Miss Alice a little bit.

Compared to Julian, who was about to make a big news, the ideas of the other women were much simpler. Senia was looking forward to the delicious food at the ball, and Silvia was looking forward to watching the communication between the nobles. Although Sharna didn’t say anything, she actually She was also looking forward to the gorgeous banquet, as for Nana, she was just looking forward to joining in the fun.

The ball was in the evening, but the atmosphere before the ball was already very lively. There were hundreds of nobles and their relatives who participated in the ball. In the current troubled times, the reason why so many nobles can come is because of one gossip.

It is said that Miss Alice wants to use this ball to re-select a fiancé. Although it is a bit cold to re-select a husband shortly after Knight Aiden died in battle, but on the other hand, war may come at any time. The Tori family also really needs a powerful lord.

Although Miss Alice is very talented, she became a silver-rank mage at a young age, but after all, she has only just come of age, and it is too reluctant to preside over the entire marquis and vassal forces. Under such circumstances, emergency husband selection is justified .

Alas, it's a pity that Knight Aiden was too eager to prove himself, and in the end he lost his life. The beauty that was originally at his fingertips has to fall into the arms of others. It's embarrassing to think about it.

In addition to nobles and celebrities, some famous businessmen, poets, artists, etc. were also invited as a foil. Of course, those who could get the invitation were naturally innocent, at least on the surface.

Except for Julian, but Julian is different from others. Julian is the one who brought back the relics and will of Knight Aiden, but what disappointed Julian was that Miss Alice didn't meet him directly, so Julian Confirm whether the other party is as beautiful as the rumors say.

Because of the large number of people attending the meeting, the afternoon banquet was arranged in the huge open-air courtyard in front of the castle. There are pools, fountains, pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard. On the other hand, beautiful ballads were sung loudly, and artists performing operas performed touching stories.

The lively banquet lasted until the dim evening was illuminated by bright magic lampposts, and the nobles were no longer reserved, sitting around the dining table while eating and drinking, while commenting on the performance of those poets and entertainers.

Some painters will take the opportunity to sell their favorite paintings, wanting to see if they can get close to an aristocratic master or wife who understands art and has a discerning eye. Well, a lady is also fine, if you want to draw a private portrait, it would be even better.

However, there are also some people who are very irritated by everything in front of them. Most of these people are young noble children, all of them are pretentious and full of arrogance. Miss Alice did her first dance.

However, for Senia, the various delicacies at the banquet are more attractive, wild boar, wild deer, swan, cloud crane and goldfinch, as well as various fish, there is no animal protection association in this world, basically As long as it is delicious and can be caught, it will be put on the table.

Nana cheered along with Senia and started the embarrassing journey, while Sharna and Silvia were relatively better. They were not thick-skinned, and they were not children like Nana. The delicious food that has been tasted also controls the image as much as possible.

However, several people obeyed Julian's order and ate and drank on the edge of the banquet, ready to avoid possible battles at any time.

As for Julian, surrounded by several beautiful ladies, he described with melancholy how he managed to survive from a group of ferocious demons.

And how he sacrificed himself to save others, bravely and fearlessly rescued thousands of poor nobles and people. When talking about excitement, Julian even tore off his expensive dress, revealing his strong and perfect muscles and scars.

"This scar was when the ferocious killer stabbed with his steel fork. In order to save a noble girl named Leila, I took a blow with my chest without fear. At that time, my plate armor It has been damaged in the battle, and the blood flowed down the armor to the waist." Julian's handsome face showed a pain that seemed to be endured, causing the ladies around to hold their handkerchiefs tightly, expressing gratitude for Julian's bravery. I was amazed and terrified by the huge scar.
