Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 34: The Heroic Dog?

Hasta came about 10 minutes earlier than Audrey.

His arrival also attracted a lot of attention, especially the noble ladies who were chatting happily.

With a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and a young and immature temperament, among the nobles who are almost 30 years old, he is undoubtedly the most outstanding man, and he is still single, and his reputation has always been very good.

Fortunately, tonight is the banquet held by Greg, so those fiery eyes were restrained.

After Hastur arrived, he glanced briefly, and suddenly found that Mrs. Gemani was also invited tonight.

When her eyes swept over, Mrs. Gemani returned a more provocative look, and the smile at the corner of her eyes made her seem a few years younger again.

Hastur maintained a decent smile, and turned around naturally to avoid the area where Mrs. Gemani was.

During this time, although Mrs. Gemani did not go to the gate of the court to block him, she often sent him banquet invitations, but he politely refused them all.

It may be that such a move aroused Mrs. Gemani's desire to win even more, so she simply stopped pretending, and no longer sent news in the form of invitations, but directly sent ambiguous letters in her personal name.

In this regard, Hastur smiled and burned the unopened letters every time.

Except for the accident of Mrs. Gemani, Hastur is free here.

He didn't know many noble children, and there were only three or four who really knew better. Some of them were not included in tonight's invitation because of their lack of status. Grelint, as a Viscount, did not get an invitation to the banquet.

Hastur speculated that this might have been Grek's way of expressing his displeasure.

He didn't know many people, so he didn't have many people to talk to. Apart from the superficial greetings, he didn't have to deal with people.

While sipping sweets, listen to the latest current affairs and romantic anecdotes of the upper-class circles from the nearby nobles.

Very comfortable, like in your own home.

In addition to the dessert area, there is also a deli area here, but looking at the piles of various tableware, he felt his scalp tingling, and he no longer planned to go to the deli area to eat something.

In front of each kind of food, there are special knives, forks, and spoons, and there are more than 100 kinds of them.

Moreover, they are all made of sterling silver. This way of showing off their wealth is too high-end. When ordinary people see this kind of scene, they will lose three points of their guts.

This is still a relatively public banquet. If it is a private banquet in a noble family, it will be more extravagant and have more etiquette.

When you take a seat at the dining table, there are several kinds of tableware that you will use at the beginning, and the servant will quietly replace you with special tableware for different dishes.

How to accurately select the target from these similar forks, spoons, and knives is a profound knowledge.

After a banquet, there are dozens of tableware used by each person. If they have not received corresponding training, they will basically make a fool of themselves on the spot.

Complicated, exquisite, and extravagant, this is the normal life of the great nobles.

Hastur guessed in his heart that there may be hundreds of maids responsible for the preparation of today's banquet, and the money spent will start from a thousand pounds.

This is the huge gap between a great nobleman and a down-and-out nobleman like him.

It wasn't until Audrey's arrival that he attracted his attention. From a man's point of view, Audrey's beauty was unmatched by all the noble ladies present.

From the perspective of an aristocrat, there is probably no better marriage partner than Audrey.

Hastur just admired it for a while, then looked away. Audrey is very beautiful, and is the brightest gem in Backlund, but she is not the type he wants to fall in love with.

As for who to marry?

He, a down-and-out baron, obviously couldn't compare with an earl's daughter who could marry into the royal family at any time.

Even if the status is equal in the future, he will not have such an idea.

Audrey's beauty is more suitable to be admired from a distance, like now.

"Well, this creme brulee tastes better tonight."

Hasta sampled most of the night's desserts and finally decided that the dessert champion of the night was creme brulee.

In order to show respect for the champion, he ate a few more bites.

"So you like desserts very much."

Taking advantage of Audrey attracting everyone's attention, Mrs. Gemani, who has been paying attention to Hastur's movements, finally waited for the opportunity.

Hasta kept smiling, and pointedly said: "Sweet but not greasy, it is the best compliment to a dessert."

"Are you trying to say that I'm too boring?"

Mrs. Gemani was very smart, and her tone became a little resentful.

Hastur didn't respond, and answered her in silence.

"If two people want to be together, one of them must take the initiative, otherwise the person you fancy will slip away from your nose sooner or later."

"Is this another famous saying of Emperor Roselle? Is he still a lover?"

"..."

Gemanni froze for a moment, the rippling atmosphere that had just appeared was ruined by this sentence.

She was about to say something more, but Hastur didn't give her a chance, and walked in the direction of Audrey.

This made her complexion change slightly, and she stared straight at Hasta's back, and when she saw that Hasta just passed Audrey in the end, a smile appeared on her face again.

Do you want to take advantage of Miss Audrey's light to make me feel dull?
It's really easy to guess the little man's mind.

With a smile on her face, Gemani got up and walked towards Audrey, chatted politely, and then gave Hasta a provocative look.

baffling.

Hastur had only one thought about this, he just wanted to avoid Mrs. Gemani, and he didn't want to use Audrey to decline her at all.

This kind of thing is so boring, he won't waste time on it.

Most of the banquet was going on, and soon it was time for dancing.

There are many people who want to invite Audrey, but most of them know that they have no chance, and Audrey will not give them this chance.

She only danced with her eldest brother, Hibbert Hall, and then found an excuse to go to the lounge on the second floor of the manor to avoid this period of time.

Mrs. Gemani looked around, but she couldn't find Hastur, which made her very frustrated.

On the second floor, Greck's study room, Hastur had already left the center of the dance floor and came here to rest.

When he made the request, the housekeeper of Greg's family knew that he had a good relationship with Greg, and consciously led him to avoid Mrs. Gemani.

Sitting on the soft sofa in the study, Hasta closed his eyes and rested for a while. He ate a lot of desserts tonight, so he just took this opportunity to digest.

After a short rest, Hastur got up and walked to one of the bookshelves, found a book about law and opened it.

He would rather stay here and read a book than dance below.

At least reading can increase his knowledge and wisdom, and dancing below will only waste his time.

Boom boom boom!
Ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Hastur flipped through the book and spoke naturally.

The door opened, and two figures came from outside.

Hastur glanced back, with a slightly dazed expression. He originally thought that the only person who would come to the study at this time was Greg, but he didn't expect it to be Audrey and her personal maid.

Well, let's count Susie, the future fantasy dog.

Audrey and Hastur looked at each other, feeling a bit of astonishment in each other's eyes.

This is Greg's study room, a place of privacy. Generally, only those who are close to him can come here. Audrey can only come to the study room with Greg's consent.

I thought the person inside was a servant in charge of guarding the study, but I didn't expect it to be a young and handsome noble boy.

Judging from his age, he should be about the same age as himself.

After all, that temperament is green and immature, and she is several years younger invisibly.

Hasta took the initiative to speak: "Miss Audrey, I am very glad to meet you here. If you don't mind, enjoy a quiet reading time for a while?"

He was seeing the best part and didn't want to be distracted at this moment.

"Ah."

Audrey nodded indifferently, and sat on the other side of the sofa under the vigilant protection of the personal maid.

After sitting for a while, Audrey deliberately asked the other party's identity. It could be seen that the other party was reading so seriously, and she was too embarrassed to disturb her.

After all, I don't know each other, which is a very rude thing.

After thinking about it, she left the sofa, got up and walked to several rows of bookshelves, where she wanted to find suitable books, and had no intention of going back to sit on the sofa.

Greg's study room is very large and has a rich collection of books. Many rare books are collected here, and there are even many books that record mystic knowledge.

If it wasn't for the fact that her personal maid was still around, she would definitely find a related book to read.

After about ten minutes, Hastur finished reading the key points, closed the book, scanned around, and found that Audrey was quietly flipping through the books deep in the bookshelf.

Hastur glanced twice, then set his sights on Susie, the future dream dog.

Right now, Susie hasn't taken the potion yet, and has become a spectator dog, only of average intelligence.

In the face of Hastur's hooking index finger, it didn't even look at it, and found a place not far from Audrey to lie down.

The tail wags slightly, as if rejecting all disturbances that affect sleep.

"Susie is supposed to be female?"

"Do I want to raise a big male dog in the future, and let it take audience magic potion, so that it can be a pair of god dog and hero with Susie?"

"In this way, they can also be companions to each other. When no one is around, they can gather together to discuss which human being is stupid again today."

Hastur imagined in his mind the scene of two extraordinary dogs getting along.

　It feels like not many people watch it.

　　Did I write too softly and slowly?
　　I predict that when Klein is born, he will be promoted to Sequence 7, which will be around eighty or ninety chapters.

　　Isn't this speed slow?
