"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.
He smiles and then says in a loud voice:
"ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Rosens' dinner. Today I, Franz von Rosen, have a great wedding to announce
Then he motioned to the maid, and soon someone came forward and pushed the smirking master Lucas to the front of the hall.
However, just as Prince Rosen was about to announce his engagement, a clear voice rang through the hall:
"wait a minute!"
It's Sophia.
Her voice was loud and clear in the quiet hall.
Prince Rosen frowned slightly.
"Miss Sophia, this is the crucial moment of the ceremony. We will discuss what we have to say after the ceremony is over."
He looked at the girl deeply and said.
Feeling the Duke's slightly discontented gaze, the intense threat and warning in his eyes, Sophia sneered.
The next second, she suddenly raised her hands.
In a cry of surprise, she put a sharp piece of glass against her neck.
It was a fragment of the wine glass she had hidden when she had just picked up the waiter.
Seeing this, Prince Rosen squinted slightly, while Baron Scott widened his eyes and lost his voice:
"Miss Sophia, what are you doing? Put it down
After that, he yelled at the guard standing at the door of the hall in the distance and did not follow him:
"guard! Guard
For a moment, there was a commotion in the hall.
"Wait! Don't go forward
Sophia's voice was high and her strength was slight.
Then, a trace of red blood ran down her neck.
"Ah!"
Seeing this scene, some noble women in the hall who had never seen blood screamed and fainted directly.
The guards hesitated and stopped.
Prince Rosen's face began to darken:
"Miss Sophia, do you know what you are doing now?"His eyes were very dangerous.
Sophia laughed bitterly:
"of course I know..."
After that, she did not wait for the other party to continue to say anything, and then she directly yelled into the hall:
"everyone! I, Sophia von wells, have never entered into an engagement with the Rosens, and I have never intended to marry the Rosens. All this is the secret collusion between the Duke of Rosen and the eternal church, for the purpose of electing a marquis and a maple leaf collar at the border! "
Her voice, indignant and resolute.
However, the girl's words ring through the hall, but like a stone thrown into the abyss, did not cause too much waves.
The eyes of the nobles are pitiful, ironic, surprised and joking, but there is no anger
Even from the legal point of view, the behavior of the Rosens family has completely touched the bottom line of the imperial aristocracy.
They just talked in a low voice and watched the farce on the stage.
Seeing this, Sophia's boiling blood cooled down.
At this moment, she had understood that the nobles here had already known what was going on.
But no one is willing to come out.
The nobles of the Empire are no longer the aristocrats of the past
"This Are they the nobles of the Empire now... "
Sophia's smile was sad and disappointed.
"Is that enough?"
Duke Rosen said coldly.
Looking at Prince Rosen's indifferent expression, Sophia's eyes gradually firmed.
She suddenly grasped the necklace between her neck, and the light flashed in her hand.
In the eyes of the aristocrats, a small golden statue appeared in front of the girl.
It is a holy and beautiful goddess, with typical characteristics of the spirit, magnificent appearance, it is difficult to take people's eyes off.
After seeing this small statue, bishop Santis's eyes were slightly frozen.
"Goddess of life and nature..."
He said with a serious look.
Then, it seemed that something suddenly occurred to him. Bishop Santis's expression suddenly changed:
"not good! Stop her
However, it is already late.
Sophia held the statue in her arms, looking sad and resolute:
"Dear goddess, I Sophia von wells, please help... "
As soon as the voice falls, the statue of God blooms with golden light, like a golden sun.
A breath of Holy Spirit began to ripple in the hall, and everyone in the hall felt an indescribable sense of oppression and fear.
Then, ripples began to appear in the surrounding space of the girl, and gold circular arrays floated on the ground.
The circular array twinkles with mysterious lines, constantly sketching, gradually clear, blooming a little bit of photons, flying in the air
"What are you doing? She's crazy! Get her! Destroy these magic circles
Feeling the horror of the statue and the violent fluctuation of space, Prince Rosen's expression changed and yelled at the guard.
More than a dozen of his guards surrounded him.
With a roar, they rushed towards Sophia.
But just as the guards were about to touch Sophia, the brilliance overwhelmed everything.
The next second, accompanied by bursts of dull hum and scream, more than a dozen guards directly flew up.
They are like cut wheat, pouring a large area
After the light dissipated, tall figures appeared around the girl.
Gorgeous armor and magic robe, handsome and beautiful appearance, as well as powerful momentum
They are a famous spirit.
I saw them take back the kick out of the foot, eyes sharp.
Like loyal guards, they stood by the girl's side, holding weapons.
In front of Sophia, a smart and handsome elf soldier with a red back turned gracefully and gave a brilliant smile to the girl.
"Miss Sophia, we have come to meet you."
He knelt on one knee, put his right hand on his chest, and said in a warm voice to the girl whose eyes were still at a loss.
