Chapter 657 (1/2)
”Miss Sophia, it's almost time. The Duke and master Lucas are waiting in the hall. Please change your dress as soon as possible and go to the dinner party.”
Said Baron Scott, smiling.
At the same time, he winked at the guards around him, and the guards of more than a dozen silver ranks quietly surrounded Sophia.
Feeling the guard's lock, the girl said to herself, ”with so much silver, you really look up to me.”
”It's just to protect your safety. After all, you are the future Countess and the next frontier elector.”
Said Baron Scott with a smile.
With that, he waved, and two of the most powerful guards came up and stood behind Sophia.
”Miss Sophia, would you like to go to the hall on your own initiative, or let our guard guide you?”
The old housekeeper looked at the ugly girl and said gently.
After that, he glanced at Sophia's clenched fists and a little restless magic on her body. He said in a meaningful way:
”of course, you are still in the war period, and your identity is still too sensitive. Therefore, as the housekeeper of the Rosens family, I sincerely suggest that you do not do something impulsive, otherwise It is likely to cause some unnecessary misunderstanding. ”
With Baron Scott's words, the guards who came forward grasped their weapons in their waists as if they cooperated. The two guards standing behind Sophia seemed to have come forward to restrain the girl
Their eyes at Sophia were cold and cold, and the locked breath chilled the girl's heart.
She had no doubt that if she had the slightest resistance at this moment, she would be controlled by the other party immediately.
”No, I can go myself.”
Sophia snorted and shook the guards' hands.
”That's right. To accept the marriage with the Rosens is an excellent choice for you and for the Rosens.”
Looking at the girl's compromise, Baron Scott said with a smile.
Under the ”escort” of more than ten guards, Sophia, dressed in a white evening dress, came to the city hall without expression.
The hall is very lively. The nobles of the Empire have already arrived. The melodious music is playing slowly. The gorgeous wine table and exquisite dishes are more luxurious than the girls saw a few days ago.
When Sophia entered the hall, she immediately attracted the attention of the whole hall.
The beauty of the fairy is well known, although the girl only inherited half of the spirit's blood, but her appearance is also enough to call it a great country.
Especially now put on this imitation of the white dress of the elves, it is set off the girl's temperament.
For a moment, the whole hall was quiet.
Until a clear glass crack, breaking the silence.
It was a waiter holding a tray.
He looked at the beautiful girl, but unconsciously he was stunned and tripped.
The spilled wine almost splashed onto the girl's white dress, which made Baron Scott, the old housekeeper who saw this scene, look ugly in an instant.
”Useless waste, shame on the Rosens! Go down to find Sir Dolph and get the punishment
He yelled at the waiter sitting on the ground.
However, a crisp cold hum interrupted him:
”it's just carelessness. Why be so harsh.”
It's Sophia.
The half elf girl bent down slightly, helping to pick up the broken glass on the ground, and said to the waiter:
”are you ok?”
”I It's OK. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Your honor
The waiter stammered, blushing as he got up from the ground.
”Go down and be careful later.”
Sophia sighed as she watched her gorgeous deacon put on her patched clothes after she fell to the ground.
Baron Scott raised his eyebrows slightly, then snorted, and said to the waiter:
”thank you, Miss Sophia? Go away
”Thank you! Thank you, my Lord! Thank you... ”
The waiter bowed repeatedly and then stepped back in a panic
And in the hall, the voice of discussion began again:
”is that Sophia of the wells family?”
”What a beautiful and interesting child...”
”Interesting? Hey He even went to help the waiter. I told him that there was no dignity of nobility... ”
”Yes, after all, it's still half elf, that is, it looks better.”
”I can't say that. After all, he is the orthodox successor of the wells family...”
”Orthodox heirs The Rosens got the loyalty of the wells family and made an engagement with the only heir It seems to be the only family in the history of the Empire to have two seats for electing princes”Master Lucas is very lucky!”
”Poor girl, I have heard that master Lukacs is not only mentally retarded, but also seems to have no fertility...”
”Hiss Is that not to say that in the end, the title of Frontier uncle may be inherited by the main branch of the Rosen family? ”
”A child should be adopted from the future duchess.”
”Who knows, now that the war is in chaos, the Countess of wells can sit for a long time, but the maple leaf collar is not poor at all. Even if you leave aside the electing throne, the value of merging territory is very attractive to the Duchess...”
”Hiss You mean... ”
”Hey, hunting accidents, horse riding accidents are not uncommon.”
The nobles in the hall talked in succession. They looked at the girl's eyes with curiosity, pity, ridicule and indifference.
Their voices were not loud, mixed with the music in the hall.
Of course, because of the spirit blood, even though the nobles deliberately lowered their voices, a lot of conversation still came into Sophia's ears.
There was no expression on her face, but her hands clenched slightly, and her nails were almost imprinted in her flesh.
In the hall, Duke Rosen and his eldest son, Lukacs, have arrived.
Lukacs is a young man with a dull look. He is sitting on a chair with wooden wheels, giggling, looking at the food on the table, and his mouth is constantly flowing
The nobles in the hall were accustomed to his appearance.
Lucas, the fool of the Duke family, is well known to the upper class of the Empire.
Of course, the Rosens are so powerful that no one dares to laugh at them at this moment.
”My Lord, Miss Sophia is here.”
Said Baron Scott, with Sofia in front of Duke Rosen, respectfully.
Prince Rosen narrowed his eyes, glanced over Sophia, and then said with a smile:
”Miss Sophia, you are so beautiful today. You are indeed the Pearl of Zelan.”
After that, he saluted bishop Santis, who also entered the hall:
”everything is ready, my lord bishop, and I am waiting for you to formally represent the church and give blessing to the new people.”
Bishop Santis gave a smile:
”naturally, blessing the new is our Lord's care for the world.”
With the support of the bishop, Duke Rosen seemed quite happy. He laughed a few times, then faced the whole hall, gestured and pressed slightly
With his movements, the band that played the music stopped playing, and the aristocrats who attended the banquet gradually quieted down.
Looking at the public's gaze, Duke Rosen was very satisfied.
