Lord Highlander

  Chapter 1116 1102. Bena Ball

   There are actually two gorgeous magic caravans prepared in the Marquis's Mansion.

The Marquis Luther and Mrs. Marian sat in the front car, while Suldak, Hathaway, and Beatrice took the magic caravan behind. The long skirt of this dress is very troublesome, Heather Vi and Beatrice sat on the sofa as motionless as puppets to keep their dresses from being wrinkled.

   On the contrary, Suldak and Siya, who were sitting across from each other, were more relaxed. Siya even picked up the cream cake prepared in the carriage and ate two pieces.

  Suldak guessed that this plate of cakes was eaten by the two Hathaway and Beatrice on the way back after preparing for the end of the dance.

  Two magic caravans drove out of the Marquis Mansion one after the other.

  The residence of the Marquis of Luther is located in the aristocratic area of ​​the city. It is not far from the castle of Duke Newman in the city, and there is no traffic jam on the road. It is just that other nobles are also driving towards the castle in a carriage.

  The magic caravan stopped on a street outside the Duke's Mansion. At this time, the traffic began to form a long queue, and the carriage was moving very slowly.

   When he came to the gate of the castle, Suldak discovered through the glass window that ten magic caravans could stop at the same time in the square outside the castle, and then the nobles got out of the car one after another. Even so, it still caused road congestion.

  Almost all the nobles in the carriages were dressed in costumes. The square in the courtyard in front of the Duke’s Mansion was almost full of magic caravans, and the magic caravans behind could only stop and go.

  The magic caravan of the Marquis Luther's mansion stopped at the main entrance of the castle, and the Marquis Luther and Mrs. Marian walked out of the carriage holding hands.

  Suldak, Hathaway, and Beatrice then stepped out of the magic caravan behind, and a group of people walked towards the main entrance of the castle.

  In order to show how much the Duke's Mansion attaches importance to this ball, all members of the younger generation of the Newman family stood in the welcoming line at the door, and Suldak saw Edie in the crowd at a glance.

   I saw Edie standing in the second row of the welcoming team, and the first row was a middle-aged nobleman who was about the same age as Marquis Luther.

  When the middle-aged nobleman saw Marquis Luther, he immediately greeted Marquis Luther enthusiastically. The two chatted and laughed casually, and then the middle-aged nobleman asked Edie and the other two young people around him to salute Marquis Luther.

   "That is the Marquis Lucian, the first heir to the Newman family, and he is also the father of Brewer, Edie, and Eustace."

   Beatrice held Suldak's arm, and whispered to Suldak's ear with her lips.

  Marquis Luther also turned around at this time, calling Hathaway and Suldak to the front.

  Beatrice let go of her hand quickly, and held Sia, only letting Hathaway and Suldak go to the front.

Although the Marquis of Lucien is well maintained, there are still some wrinkles around his eyes. He is wearing a dress covered with golden dark lines, with the majesty of a superior in his brows, and his amber eyes are staring at Hathaway's face. , After looking at it for a moment, he smiled and said:

   "Hathaway, you are getting more and more beautiful. At first I wanted Luther to choose one of my three sons, but although he was very optimistic about Eustace, he was unwilling to marry you into the Newman family."

  The young people from the Newman family around him seemed to be his foil at this moment.

Marquis Lucien's eyes fell on Suldak. The coercion brought by the superior, the sharp eyes seemed to be able to shine into Suldak's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, as if attacked by an external force, the center of the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness The holy battle armor set on the door above the location suddenly emitted golden light, which actually forced the powerful spiritual coercion of Marquis Lucien out of Suldak's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness.

  The Marquis of Lucien stared at him for a moment, and then a friendly smile appeared on his face, and said:

   "You are Suldak. I know you. The Ganbu plane is conducting the war very well. I am also a little jealous of Luthor's eyes. I heard that you and Hathaway are about to have a wedding. Congratulations in advance."

  He reached out and patted Suldak on the shoulder, and then said to a rather simple-looking young man beside him:

   "Eustace, you come to entertain Uncle Luther and Aunt Marianne, and invite them to rest in the guest room."

Suldak looked at Eustace, a young man with thick lips. His body was also very strong, his arms were a little longer than ordinary people, his hands were wide and thick, and the palms of his hands were full of bruises from holding a sword. Cocoon, with a broad-edged sword hanging from his waist.

   Eustace and Marquis Luther were walking and chatting, and he always peeked at Hathaway when Marquis Luther was not paying attention.

  Hathaway held Suldak tightly, and seemed unwilling to talk to Eustace.

   Beatrice stood with Sia at this moment, and followed quietly.

The place where the dance party was held was in the back garden of the castle. There was a large square surrounded by hundreds of magic lamps. There was a band on a half-meter-high circular platform in the corner of the square. They leaned against a trumpet Shaped walls, sitting there patchwork, soothing music is coming from there.

  Many people had gathered in the square, but Marquis Luther didn't seem to stay in the square, but followed Eustace through the back garden square and entered the building behind the castle.

  While passing through the inner courtyard, Suldak and Hathaway saw Cole and Grant almost at the same time, a group of young nobles chatting under a laurel tree in the inner courtyard with wine glasses.

  When they saw Marquis Luther, they all saluted. Marquis Luther nodded slightly, and then walked over with Mrs. Marianne.

  Hathaway took Suldak's arm, followed Marquis Luther, and walked in front of these young people.

A group of young nobles looked at Grant in surprise. At this time, everyone realized that when Edie spoke rudely to Hathaway last night, the man next to him was obviously not the so-called lover Edie said, and it was very likely Hathaway. Servi's real fiancé.

  Cole Norton also asked in astonishment: "Grant, who is the name of the groom written on Hathaway's wedding invitation?"

  The fair-haired Grant was also trying to remember, and said casually: "Only his first name is written on it, not even his last name...what's his name?"

  The entourage next to him leaned over to Grant and whispered a few words in Grant's ear.

"Yes, it's 'Earl Suldak, Consul of Ruyt City'. This is the first time I've seen a noble without a surname." Grant complained to everyone: "Edie just met the Ruyt City the day before yesterday. The consul is said to be an old man with completely white hair."

  Cole Norton looked a little ugly, and said with a wry smile:

"Grant, Edie must have made a mistake somewhere. The knight on Hathaway's arm just now is named Suldak. He is not an old man. As for his lack of a surname, it is because he was originally from the city of Hailansa. There is a knight without a surname, and it was the Marquis Luther who wrote a joint recommendation letter to Emperor Charles that he was lucky enough to become a noble baron."

"The wedding invitation clearly says Earl Suldak, but he is clearly a viscount..." Another young nobleman in the crowd stood up and said, "And how could the governor of Ruyt City be a viscount? Edie and I was also present when the Marquis of Lucian met with the consul of Ruyt City the day before yesterday, how could he be the consul of Ruyt City?"

   "Go and see the list of young nobles for this award ceremony..." a young nobleman shouted immediately.

  The list is on the notice board at the entrance of the garden. This group of young people ran out of the inner garden quickly. Several ladies from noble families greeted them along the way, but they had no time to respond.

   When everyone ran to the entrance of the garden panting, they squeezed into the crowd and finally saw the whiteboard sign.

Surdak's name is impressively last, and behind the merit value, there is a suffix: "Please pay tribute to Viscount Surdak, the commander of the Bena coalition army: regain the Ganbu plane and clear the demon army . '

  Of the twelve honored young earls, only Suldak has this eye-catching suffix.

   That is to say, Suldak did not rely on the black magic crystal to be promoted to the title, but purely gained military merit by sweeping the demon army.

  A group of young nobles stood in front of the notice board a little discouraged, and someone said:

   "He is really inside..."

  The young aristocrat who had just rectified Idie's name asked everyone: "How can the consul of Ruyt City explain it?"

   "Don't you know that after the victory of the Battle of Tarapakan commanded by Marquis Luther, the city of Ruyt became the spoil of Marquis Luther..."

   Grant said with a wry smile.

  The surroundings were quiet, and all the young nobles turned their attention to the bitter-faced Cole Norton. Some even bluntly said:

   "Cole, it turns out that your rival in love is a plane lord..."

   Cole's face turned pale, and his body couldn't help shaking.

A consul or an earl may be ignored by Cole Norton, but holding a plane in his hands shows that Suldak has huge resources in his hands. This kind of noble lord is usually He holds a huge army of lords in his hands.

  The Norton family has only occupied some territories on several planes up to now, and has not completely controlled one plane.

  Now Suldak is in control of the Ganbu plane, and behind him is the full support of Marquis Luther...

  In this situation, it is difficult not to develop and grow, because the whole plane is pushing him forward...

  …

  The dance party finally kicked off when it was completely dark.

The Marquis of Luther was also invited out by the attendants in the castle guest room. He and the Marquis of Bena stood in the VIP area of ​​the back garden, while the Marquis of Lucien of the Duke's Mansion stood on the half-meter-high platform where the band was, with his hands in his hands. Holding the wine glass, he signaled that the music could stop for a while.

  Suldak, Hathaway, and Beatrice slipped out of the guest room early, and walked around the garden of the Duke's Mansion before coming to the square.

  The Marquis Lucien stood in front of the stage, and the noisy voices below immediately became quiet.

  Several magical lampposts shot into the sky from behind Marquis Lucien, making the stage where he was particularly bright.

  The square gathered at least several hundred nobles, most of whom were young people attending the ball.

"Dear relatives and friends, you are welcome to attend the honor eve ball held by the Duke of Newman's Palace. On behalf of my father, Lord Newman, I would like to express my congratulations to the twelve young people who have received this honor. The young and promising nobles stand out, which is enough to prove how outstanding (rich) you are..."

  After a lengthy speech, the Marquis Lucian finally took his wife's hand and stepped onto the square dance floor under the eyes of everyone.

   Then there were other marquises who also held the lady's hand and lined up in a neat row on the dance floor. A group of big men led the ladies to dance the first dance...

When the playing band finished this short piece of music, the beat musician put down the instrument in his hand, and suddenly raised his hands and clapped together vigorously. Then the young people walked into the dance floor with their partners, men and women Arranged in a neat row.

   This kind of ballroom dance is neat and joyful, but the only disadvantage is that it takes a lot of space.

   It’s no wonder that the Newman Duke’s Mansion wants to hold the ball in the back garden. Only the square space here is enough.

Suldak danced twice in one breath, and then looked at Siya holding up her skirt and staring at himself eagerly, her big blue eyes filled with the words "This is the first time I am a Naga mermaid dancing this kind of joy." Can I have a dance with you...? '

  Suldak hurried over and extended his hand to invite her.

  Xia showed a sweet smile on her face, and walked forward happily...

  Facts have proved that the Jana mermaid has an amazing talent in dancing, and Siya is like a sunflower that keeps spinning and blooming in the palm of Suldak.

   Attracted the attention of many young nobles at the ball.

   But then Sia ran back behind Hathaway and Beatrice with a sense of humor, and stood with their two maids.

   And Suldak also took good care of Sia, pulling Hathaway and Beatrice to chat next to the pool, so that Sia could control the water flow by the pool to nourish herself.

  As one of the 12 young earls, Suldak also attracted much attention at the ball, and many aristocrats and ladies tried to strike up a conversation.

  Suldak didn't want to spend any energy dealing with these noble ladies, so he walked around the self-service area with a plate, and when he came back, he had a plate full of food in his hand.

   In this way, he stood in front of Hathaway and Beatrice, because they were eating all the time, the noble ladies always had to be reserved, waiting for Suldak to finish eating the food on the plate before moving over...

   But it seems that the food on the silver plate in Suldak's hand is always endless, and Suldak thinks this is the best way to refuse to invite others to dance.

  The city of Bena at night is exceptionally beautiful. The crescent moon is like a hook in the night sky, and there is a cool breeze blowing. Hathaway is sitting on the gazebo bench by the pool.

Several people got together to chat, and Siya talked about the great battle in Samp Town on the Ganbu plane. Twenty catapults threw flints day and night, destroying the thin city wall of Samp Town in just five days. Speaking of the clear and beautiful Bellanomahu, inviting Hathaway and Beatrice to swim in the lake...

  Aristocratic ladies, many people heard that Suldak is the actual controller of the Ganbu plane, and they wanted to get acquainted with Suldak.

  But I couldn't find any good opportunities all night...

   The second update today will be after ten o’clock
