Fashen live room

Chapter 320 Prom
In the wide hall, the venue has been cleaned up.

On one side of the hall, a large number of orchestras are playing soothing music—since Lord Saint suddenly raised the limit of the number of players, this form of music with a large number of people is gradually becoming popular, and many musicians are doing their best in this regard With various explorations.In the center of the hall, there are many gorgeously dressed people, men and women, talking and laughing with each other, and some of them are walking around with wine glasses.

At different positions above the hall, several groups of white magic lights are suspended, providing light for the people in the hall.

The light of this thing is much brighter than candles, and it is also because these things provide sufficient light, so even if the sky outside has darkened, the hall is still very bright and will not appear dim.

This is the main hall on the first floor of the Douala City Lord's Mansion. It was used to hold the dance competition not long ago, but today there is obviously a dinner party being held here.

When Norman came to the door holding Ji Ruoxi's arm, he saw such a scene.

The scene in front of him is very familiar to Norman - when he was in Nicaro, he participated in many balls and dinners, big and small, and described it as a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days The density is not enough, it can be called the little prince of the prom, so he is very familiar with such a place.It's just that since leaving Nicaro, he has never participated in such a noble ball again, and this is the first time he has experienced it today.

Ji Ruoxi seemed to be repulsed by the scene in front of her, and she stopped when she reached the door. It was Norman who secretly pushed her and signaled her, and she finally walked in.

Norman followed her step by step, and understood her stop just now: the dance came too suddenly, and Ji Ruoxi was in a really bad mood because of Chen Qinghe's relationship, so it's no wonder Ji Ruoxi All of a sudden, I can't accept it, and I can't help but reject it in my heart.

In fact, this dance was not only very sudden to Ji Ruoxi, but also very sudden to Norman. He only found out about it at Xianni's place this afternoon.

"... there will be a dance tonight,"

When she was with Norman, Shanny's mood was always very lively, but when she was talking, when she talked about it, her mood suddenly fell.

Although Norman put most of his energy on the magic power pool at that time, he still had two spiritual powers on Shani after all, and the emotional change of Shani was so sudden and obvious, so he suddenly Just noticed.

Without waiting for Norman to ask questions, Shani continued on her own: "There are people from the Principality of Patrick, and the dance tonight is for them."

When Shani spoke before, her gaze had always been shining brightly and focused on Norman, but at this moment her head turned away and she cast her gaze in another direction.

In that direction, there is only one wall and nothing else.

Duchy of Patrick...

That is the territory of His Royal Highness Randall.

By the way, His Royal Highness Randall has a lot to do with the Miss Shanny in front of him. It is said that Aubrey chose an excellent dance teacher with great fanfare just to marry his precious daughter to Randall. Teach Shani to dance, because His Royal Highness Randall is said to be very fond of dancing.

"Shivar should also invite you to attend today's party..."

When she said this, Shani's voice became quieter, her eyes were fixed on the wall, and she didn't dare to turn around to look at Norman at all.

She is a little guilty.

In fact, Shivar only intends to invite Hugo to attend the party. This Ms. Sharia is not within the scope of his invitation. It is Shani who will ask Shivar to "take the initiative" to invite the couple to attend together.

Douala belongs to the Hulk Territory, and has never been against the Principality of Patrick, and there has never been any redundant intersection between the two except for some normal trade traffic.At this time, the Principality of Patrick suddenly sent someone over, which was obviously related to some of Aubrey's efforts.

From a certain point of view, this can almost be seen as His Royal Highness Randall's response to Aubrey's fanfare, which means that he also agrees to this marriage.

When she realized this, Xian Ni felt as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt.

Since Norman "confessed" to her, she has been living in the clouds for the past few days, light and sweet without knowing the geometry of the world, but this news pulled her back from the sky and made her sober all of a sudden.

Shani didn't know what to do.

According to the rules of the kingdom, once a marriage is approved by the parents of the two families, it will be decided in this way, and her opinion will have no effect.

She also thought about telling Norman about this matter. After all, if she guessed correctly, this is the saint of the church, with a noble status. If he comes forward, things will definitely turn around.

But it was only at this moment that Shanny remembered a fact that made her despair even more: if her guess was correct, and her lover was the saint of the church, then according to the rules of the church, he could not intervene in secular marriages .

The pope, the saint, all of them.

And if he guessed wrong, he is not the saint of the church, but just an ordinary person with a transvestite and a brilliant musical talent, then he has no power to change this matter...

Only then did Shanny realize that the whole matter was getting more and more complicated.

In the end, she had no choice but to take one step at a time. The idea of ​​letting Norman attend today's dance was also a step in her confused mind. She didn't know whether it was wisdom or stupidity.

She didn't know what she was thinking: was she expecting Norman to bravely reveal his identity at the ball and announce their relationship to everyone after she learned the news?Even breaking the rules of the church for thousands of years for her? ...

Xianni didn't know that under the increasingly complicated situation, her mind was completely confused.

She only regrets, why didn't Father God share some of her beauty with her wisdom?In that case, maybe she can come up with the best decision...

From a normal aesthetic point of view, Norman's appearance is definitely not as good as Shani, but in terms of IQ, he is undoubtedly higher than Shani.Especially after the crazy education of the Knights Templar, his ability to think about problems is higher than Shanny's rank. I don't know where it went.

But emotionally, he is an idiot, so he couldn't guess Shanny's thoughts. At that time, he just said "oh", and then he really waited for Shivar to invite the couple to the ball.

According to Norman's plan, they should leave Douala almost tomorrow.At this last moment, they don't need to bring up any more troubles. Since they are invited, they should attend, anyway, it's just a meal.

Hence, he and Ji Ruoxi appeared here.

"Viscount Speight, has it been two years since we last met?"

"They used this shameless method to open the door to the market in Douala, but we have nothing to do with them. I have to say that their weapons are too powerful, and no one can resist them, even you and me, isn't it? Can you resist the temptation of those cheap and beautiful books? They are so cheap..."

"Viscount Cheberis, my uncle in Wilshire sent me a letter yesterday about some land dispute between your father and him, and I wish I could have a chat with you. I know, we You don't want to hurt our relationship with each other because of this kind of thing, don't you?..."

"Which brilliant tailor made your dress? It is so beautiful! Please introduce that tailor to me..."

……

After entering the hall, the voices in his ears became louder, and all kinds of greetings from the familiar nobles entered Norman's ears, which made him subconsciously want to straighten his back - that was when he was in Nika Luo received the conditioned reflex formed by the etiquette training of the Knights Templar.

But fortunately, he firmly remembered his identity at the moment, not only did not show elegance, but his back was even more stooped, and his eyes became timid and restrained.

Ji Ruoxi didn't make any mistakes under Norman's advance instructions, and behaved quite well. The two of them just got along in the venue, and they didn't take the initiative to find someone to talk to, and they didn't refuse when someone came over. Let's talk a few words.

Also met Byron during the period.

Since selling him a few weapons that day, this was the first time Norman saw another son of the Lord Aubrey.

Through living in the City Lord's Mansion during these days, Norman knew that Mr. Byron was a martial idiot, which seemed to be the common understanding of him by everyone.

It seems normal for such a character not to know people who have only met once, but what Norman did not expect was that Byron still remembered them.

"You are the gentleman who sold me the weapon."

After looking at Ji Ruoxi twice, Byron said suddenly.

He was wearing a casual aristocratic dress today, and his whole person looked much softer, but his blond hair still gave him an unruly feeling.

Ji Ruoxi replied in a low voice, "I didn't expect Mr. Byron to remember me."

Byron smiled heartily, "Of course, your weapons are very good, especially the magic cross sword, which greatly increased my strength."

But that's all he said, and he left after he finished speaking and went to chat with others. He was also a gentleman who looked like a knight like him, and he looked very familiar.

Norman didn't know half of Douala's aristocratic circle except for these people in the City Lord's Mansion, and they were basically unfamiliar faces to him, but he also saw Adolf during the period.

This dance teacher of unknown origin was finally no longer in the attire of a vagabond in a day like today. He changed into a simple and elegant aristocratic dress as the Romans did, and he looked energetic.And what is different from the two of them is that this guy who came to the City Lord's Mansion later than them actually had a good time at this ball. He always saw different people chatting and laughing with him, and he didn't know that he was doing so. How did you get to know so many people in such a short period of time?

In such a very boring state of messing around, more and more people were in the hall, and some important figures, such as Shani and Aubrey Santo also arrived one by one.

But the ball has not yet begun, which means that the most important people have not yet arrived.

Finally, commotion came from the side of the door and spread over, attracting everyone's attention.

Norman looked around, relying on the advantage of his height, he saw the scene over there at once: he saw a thin middle-aged man entering the arena surrounded by everyone.

It was a gentleman that Norman had never seen before. He had a heroic appearance, with two moustaches, and a calm demeanor. His clothes were not gorgeous, but rather simple and elegant, but he would definitely not be rude. , very texture of the times.

The most eye-catching thing about this gentleman is the personal greeting of the owner of Aubrey: when he first entered the arena, Aubrey lined up the crowd to meet him, and then walked inward side by side with him, with a face on his face. The smile blossomed, and the wrinkles were squeezed out of laughter.

Although the city lord is not as cold as ice, it is very rare to smile like this now. One can tell that the middle-aged man beside him is not young.

And then Aubrey led the man to a stage at the side of the hall.

Aubrey first signaled the band behind to stop, then clapped his hands, and shouted twice: "Everyone, please be quiet. Gentlemen and ladies, please be quiet."

Aubrey should have received knight training, his voice was very thick and powerful, and his voice overwhelmed the noise of the scene, making the scene gradually quiet down.

Then he introduced to everyone present: "Gentlemen and ladies, please allow me to introduce a friend from afar. The gentleman standing next to me is named Cedric McAllen, and perhaps some friends It doesn’t matter if you don’t know about this name, I can introduce it again, Mr. Cedric is an Earl of the Principality of Patrick..."

This person named Cedric is the one from Patrick that Shani mentioned during the day.

The Duke of Patrick came suddenly. This news caused a little commotion among the nobles at the moment. Many people were whispering to each other, and some remained silent. Combined with some previous rumors, they secretly speculated that their Lord City Lord is What's the meaning.

Of course, the meaning of this is already obvious: Aubrey is likely to marry that Highness Randall.

This made many people present envious.

With the arrival of the Holy Maiden Mission to St. Vita, who doesn't know that His Royal Highness Randall has the possibility of becoming the next king?If he and Randall are in-laws, they may become relatives of the royal family in the future!

But there is no way to be envious. Who made them not have such a beautiful daughter?
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Marquis Aubrey, do I understand that you intend to marry Miss Shanny to His Royal Highness Randall? But as far as I know, Miss Shanny has already been engaged to someone else."
