The dinner party at tulip palace is ready.
The old housekeeper, madder, was responsible for the operation. The beautiful food, the gorgeous banquet place, and even the garden outside the castle were filled with golden tulips, which symbolized the glory of the family. And all the waiters put on new clothes, and the musicians of the family office in the castle play soft music.
At the moment, the Duke of tulip, as the host, was not at home. Therefore, the future Duchess Vivian, who has set her name, greets the guests one by one as the hostess.
But
It's obvious that the shy little silly girl doesn't seem to adapt to this kind of role.
Tonight, Vivian put on a white evening dress specially made for her. Although this pure white evening dress sets off her innocent and pure temperament, it's a pity that the little girl who seems to be used to wearing the white robe of the great magician is very uncomfortable with this kind of dress that shows her shoulders on both sides and the whole back behind.
Although there are two well-dressed female etiquette teachers standing behind, quietly reminding the hostess that every guest should greet and salute, it's a pity that little silly girl seems to have no aura at the moment... In fact, it seems that all her talent and aura are only reflected in her magic attainments.
Although there are flaming fireplaces on both walls of the banquet hall, and the temperature in the room is very warm, Vivian still can't help stretching her hand to pull the skirt under her shoulder from time to time... And the tassels used to decorate the back of the clothes, which seem to itch on her body.
Behind the two poor female etiquette teachers, can only keep coughing in a low voice to stop the action of the female magician... Because in such a banquet occasion, if the hostess grasps herself. But it's very impolite and disrespectful.
Vivian has already met six guests at the door of the banquet hall... Fortunately, as her future Duchess, not every guest is qualified to meet her. Unfortunately, Mr. Phillip has already told Vivian secretly that there are still two important female guests who must be welcomed by themselves to show respect.
Vivian felt that not only her shoulders and back were itchy, but even her ankles were aching.
Duwei... He personally designed a kind of women's small shoes with high back roots. This kind of thing Duwei called "high root shoes" really reflects women's charm. Vivian was lucky to be the first to try it on. Sure enough, because of the high heel, the woman's body naturally leans forward. Unconsciously, she will straighten her waist and chest, which can show the curve charm of women.
Unfortunately, if you wear these shoes too long, you will be tired.
Vivian is suffering from this right now. Twenty times in her heart, she could not help bending down to take off the shoes, and her shoulders and back were cold and itchy, so exposed that she seemed to be in full view of the public. Unfortunately, she was still the hostess tonight. Almost half of the people focused on her.
(I will never wear this kind of clothes again...) Vivian made up her mind. But when she recalled the soft and enchanted eyes that Duwei looked at her when she tried it on for the first time, she couldn't help but add a sentence in her heart (if you have to wear it, just show it to him!)
Nod, smile, even if it's almost stiff. In Vivian's opinion, this kind of action is more difficult to learn than the most obscure magic spell.
I'd rather say the call of thunder a hundred times. Or copy the intermediate mantra a hundred times.)
There are also two powerful representatives of the business delegation from the aristocratic families from other places in the province of DESAR, who keep making up with Vivian, trying to please the future duchess. These two guys are buzzing, Vivian is already impatient, but she still keeps a smile on her face.
Ah... These two guys, in order to please me, even try to find out what I like best... Do you want to give gifts?
My favorite thing is that you two disappear now
however. For Dewey. Vivian, who is determined to be a good wife, still works hard. Strive to fulfill his "duty" as a wife.
Well, for Dewey... Me, I want to be a good wife!
At this time, the musicians outside sounded the music, which means that the last distinguished guests have finally arrived.
Vivian took a deep breath and motioned to the etiquette teachers on both sides. After they gently pushed the door of the banquet hall open, Vivian finally saw the target she was waiting for.
Well... How about three? Isn't it two?
At the top of the list is the future regent, Princess Deli, and possibly the future Princess. This famous Southern beauty, wearing a sea blue dress, makes her temperament as dazzling as sapphire. Bright eyes, flashing crystal clear eyes.
As soon as the door was opened, Miss daili's eyes were locked on Vivian. Well, is this the fiancee of tulip Duke? The sorceress?
Compared with those dark and strange magicians in my impression, this young girl is sweeter than expected. Although she is a little stiff, and seems to be out of shape when bending down to salute, her pure and lovely appearance... No wonder she won the love of tulip.
The sorceress is not wearing a pointed hat, as if the image of a witch?
Miss daili's eyes just swept on Vivian's body, and immediately crossed, staring at the hostess, but it was very impolite.
But the people behind seem to have forgotten the etiquette.
Princess Louise, dressed in a white evening dress, was stunned when she first saw Vivian.
Suddenly, an idea came into my mind... Because of this girl, Dewey refused to marry him?
The royal highness of a white evening dress and the adornment on a gorgeous dress. It makes her look rich and gorgeous, and she has a Jewel Crown on her head, which symbolizes the identity of the princess. Although she has hidden her identity, before she came here today, she was probably in the comparative psychology of women's heart, so the princess decided to wear the Jewel Crown to attend.
But when she saw Vivian, Princess Louise regretted it.
The girl in front of her was so raw that she was pitiful. She stood there pretty. There was a blush on his cheek, and his eyes were as pure as the deer, but his facial features were so delicate that no flaw could be found. She is like a natural flower.
The princess regretted it immediately. The color of her dress is the same as that of the other party, but the style is gorgeous. Standing in front of Vivian at the moment, it seems to be reduced to a kind of artificial vulgarity.
Even the priceless jewelry on the wrist and neck. At the moment, they all seem to have become shackles, heavy and vulgar.
The Duchess of the future, however, seems to have no artificial Carved Crystal... Oh, what necklace is she wearing around her neck? It's just a very simple chain with a small, unremarkable gem underneath?
If Princess Louise is just stunned by her comparative psychology as a woman. So, as the princess's male companion to the banquet tonight, the fairy King's surprise far exceeded his expectation!!
Originally, it seems that he always looks like the king of spirits. Standing beside Princess Louise, although his hand is still gently holding the princess's hand without any fault, his eyes have been staring at Vivian's face.
The eyes, as if to see something incredible. This kind of eyes, from head to foot, and from foot to head, finally. Snow eyes, stay in the neck of Vivian that necklace pendant.
This... This stone, is it
Multicolored stone?
Is it the most powerful magic gem to store magic? The most precious treasure of magicians? How can you hang it around your neck so casually?
You know, the land where the criminals live is very rare, especially the mineral resources. Even the ordinary subway mines have to be carefully calculated and saved, so that the criminals have a huge army. Can't be equipped with minimum weapons and armor. After conquering the holy mountain, we had to excavate it to make weapons.
As for the gem crystal used in magic. Not to mention that! Even among the elves who are famous for their magic power, only high-level elves are qualified to wear magic crystal and other props.
And this human... Actually hanging such a big colorful stone around his neck?
In addition to this gem, there was a flash of excitement in the eyes of the spirit king that even he could not suppress and control... No, maybe it was not just excitement, as if there were something else!
The atmosphere of the scene was a little stalemate for a moment.
What makes the two palace etiquette teachers behind Vivian sweat in secret is that the hostess, who had been told by tens of millions, seems to have forgotten all the etiquette all at once and stares at the two guests behind, as if she is stunned.
Vivian's stupefaction is excusable.
She didn't forget her manners, but the problem was
Mr. Philip told herself that two of the ladies were thought to be the princess of the future Princess Dai Li, and the other is the Prince Regent's sister, Louise.
But the problem is... That Miss Dali, Vivian has recognized it. After all, her blue eyes are very obvious features.
But
But
Which of the following two is Princess Louise?
Don't blame Vivian for her confusion.
Because tonight, the appearance and dress of the fairy king Luoxue is easy to be misunderstood.
When the appearance is extremely beautiful, even women will be jealous of the spirit king, who has the perfect beauty of the spirit family. And the unique mysterious and delicate nature of the elves is a perfect combination of his body, which has become a special charming temperament. In addition to this deceptive appearance, it seems that it is difficult for people to identify men and women in the clothes of the Elven king.
The robe the king wore was deliberately cut down at the waist. It shows his slim waist, but the hem seems to be very loose and looks like a skirt. And the above gorgeous lines add a bit of feminine beauty. In addition, he has a slightly slender figure, which is a perfect combination of temperament.
It really confused Vivian.
In front of the two "female guests", which is the princess? To whom should I salute?
The two court etiquette masters behind are about to collapse... It's not surprising that Vivian, who is unfamiliar with etiquette, forgot to salute.
But how could Princess Louise be stunned? The princess grew up in the royal family and received the strictest royal education since childhood!
Fortunately. Soon, Vivian's help arrived.
"Louise, oh, dear Louise, I was surprised to hear of your arrival today."
The voice came from behind Vivian, and then Mrs. Liszt was wearing a charming smile. When she came, she came easily and held Princess Louise's hand. This beautiful woman with a proper smile and a violet evening dress set off her charming charm.
Mrs. Liszt's rescue. Let Vivian heart immediately relieved, quickly bent down to the princess salute, at the same time don't forget to Mrs. Liszt cast a grateful look.
"Dear LAN, I haven't seen you for a long time. Last time I saw you, I rode in your manor in the north two and a half years ago. " The princess also returned to her senses and gave a disguised smile. Then she gave a gift to Vivian and said in a reserved tone: "Miss Vivian, don't be too polite. You are the future Grand Duchess. Now you are granted the title of court title. Don't be too polite to me."
Mrs. Liszt's face was as usual. But secretly looked at Vivian one eye, received Vivian grateful eyes, Mrs. Liszt secretly smile.
But then, she couldn't laugh!
Because the fairy king falls snow, originally just from the shock of staring at Vivian ease over, can see Mrs. Liszt came, the fairy king is in a greater earthquake shock!!
The Elven king is almost undisguised with naked eyes staring at Mrs. Liszt, eyes flashed incredible eyes. And then he was a little bit out of breath.
Mrs. Liszt because of her beauty. I don't know how many such men's eyes have been staring at me in my life, but this time. But she also felt a little strange. Because the people around Princess Louise (forgive her, even the clever Mrs. Liszt didn't recognize the gender of snowfall), the eyes that she looked at herself were not the greedy and surprised eyes that ordinary men coveted their beauty, nor the jealousy and envy that women cast
There seems to be an extreme accident in the eyes... Even a trace of
Anger?!
Such eyes, seemingly calm, but as if through their own eyes, directly see their own heart, this is what kind of eyes ah!
Mrs. Liszt's calm heart was flustered, and soon she adjusted her breathing, as if with a smile: "Louise, who is your companion?"
"Oh, this is Mr. Luoxue from the north. His identity is very mysterious. I'm also curious about the origin of Mr. Luoxue." In an understatement, Princess Louise revealed to Mrs. Liszt that she did not know the exact origin of the snow.
The snow has completely calmed down at the moment. The spirit king takes a breath and looks at Vivian with a smile like flowers blooming. He slightly lowers his head and says: "Dear hostess, I hope my arrival is not a kind of presumptuous."
His soft voice, with a trace of magnetism, is extremely pleasant. Vivian quickly with the etiquette teacher to teach things, back to the ceremony, stiff back to a smile: "that's my honor."
Then, the nervous little silly girl finally recalled all the etiquette taught by the teachers, and quickly turned around to lead the distinguished guests into the banquet hall.
At this time, the snow has quietly moved the princess's hand, quietly slowed down the pace, but fell on Mrs. Liszt's side.
He let out a breath, a trace of pure elf magic. His voice carefully into a line, quietly fell into Mrs. Liszt's ear.
His voice is still soft, but with a trace of cold, but to Mrs. Liszt's surprise, this elegant and beautiful Mr. Luoxue speaks a language that is not the language of the mainland at all!
“#$^%^$^^……”
A very short sentence. In Mrs. Liszt's ear, she was stunned at first, then at a loss. After a moment, the expression on her face had turned into shock and fear!
Naked fear!
"Don't let people see... Half blood elves!" The icy sound of the falling snow came back to Mrs. Liszt's ears.
Mrs. Liszt's body trembled slightly, and then immediately dropped her head, for fear that others might see her face, which only she knew. Now I'm afraid I don't have any color on my face!
Although the banquet was arranged wonderfully, it was the most boring thing for Vivian. Fortunately, she had two distinguished guests, Princess and miss daili, who did not dare to disturb her easily. Her royal highness was quickly recognized. Immediately became the focus of the public, Vivian this hostess, finally can a little easy to hide in the side.
At this time, Vivian was surprised. Mrs. Liszt didn't know when to leave. She wanted to thank her for her help. But his eyes swept the whole room, and there was no sign of Mrs. Liszt.
Miss daili stood beside the princess, and they were skillfully in a group of flatterers.
"Tired?"
A soft voice came from her side. Vivian looked back and saw that Luoxue was standing behind her. He didn't know when she came quietly. Even Vivian didn't notice his approach.
"Well... OK." Vivian kept a polite smile.
Snow's face line is very soft, a pair of eyes like flashing gems. Quietly looking at Vivian, eyes although direct, but not publicity.
"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Falling snow Wen Yan smiles, then says indifferently: "Dear hostess, can you meet a small request of my guest?"
"Eh? Please say Vivian was stunned for a moment.
"To be honest, I'm bored with this kind of occasion, too." Falling snow's smile is really appropriate to the extreme, even his voice, as if dark and some very gentle rhythm: "in my opinion. In fact, you don't like this kind of occasion
Vivian had a good feeling for this strange beauty in her heart. Just don't know how to answer, just a little smile.
"Just right. I heard that this city was built in only three months. And this castle is a miracle among miracles. Can you show me around? " Snow quietly winked at Vivian, then lowered her voice and said in a low voice: "anyway, I don't think they can get away for a while. We quietly walk away for a while, no one will notice."
Although Vivian was not very happy, she thought of what the etiquette teacher said today: "try to meet the appropriate requirements of the guests.".
It's a "proper request" to show guests around their homes.
Vivian nodded. Then, the fairy King smiles and makes a gesture. Pointing to the side door nearest to the place where they stand, Vivian nods.
Easily mixed out from the hall, and not too many people noticed the departure of the two. After leaving the banquet hall, Luoxue seemed relaxed: "Alas, human life is really troublesome. Is such a banquet the most favorite enjoyment of the nobility..."
"Ah?" Vivian seems to be at a loss about this sentence.
"I heard that the Duke of tulip was originally from Wu Xun's family. I think there must be some rooms for displaying weapons in this castle. Can you show me?" she said
"Weapons?" Vivian stayed for a while... Will this delicate and beautiful person also be interested in weapons?
But the request of the guest is the honor of the host. Vivian can only pick up the spirit, with snow left the banquet hall, through the center of the castle. Came to the door of a room on the other side.
Gently pushed open the door, Vivian spit out his tongue: "this is the only weapon exhibition hall in the castle. Du weita, in fact, doesn't like martial arts. So... We don't have a lot of weapons in our collection. "
Entering this room, there is still a large space inside. On a high metal shelf in the middle, there is an amazing spear lying flat! The spear was made of fine iron with a faint black light.
And obviously, this is a very long spear. It's an imitation. It is a one-to-one sample based on the legendary Knight's gun "Longinus spear".
It's not unusual for many aristocrats to have such a thing in their arms collection, even if it's just vulgar and elegant.
But when the snow saw it, there was a strange light in her eyes.
He walked slowly in the past, even reached out his hand and stroked slowly on the spear. His slender fingers, when he passed the spear. It's as soft as a musician's fingers playing an organ.
For a long time, falling snow sighed: "the spear of longchinus... The most powerful artifact of the legendary warrior, the real artifact... In the divine battle ten thousand years ago, the most loyal and powerful legendary warrior of the goddess defeated the enemy of the goddess with this spear. Those... Other gods. This is a spear covered with the blood of the gods... "
Vivian blinked her eyes. The voice of Luoxue's words was very low, as if she was talking to herself. Vivian only heard half of them. I don't quite understand what they mean.
Snow back to God, immediately released his hand, turned to look around the wall.
Dewey made his fortune selling all kinds of high-end weapons in the Empire's business shop, so naturally there are a few exquisite masterpieces here. Only these things, gorgeous degree far exceeds the practical degree. Seemingly gorgeous, in fact, are very fragile. For example, it's hard to say how much real defense the armor and hollow pattern can have. But... This style should be gorgeous but not fateful. But it is in line with the taste of the elves. Luo Xue looked at the past one by one, and was quite interested. She even commented on some of the defects from time to time, not from the perspective of weapons, but from the perspective of art“ If the carving is three points deep, the overall effect will be better... "After looking at seven or eight collections, the eyes of falling snow fell on the sword in the middle of the wall in the room. This is the tallest weapon rack in the room. On both sides stand two gold shields of one man's height, carved with the pattern of fire tulip. And what's not in line with this gorgeous contrast. The sword in the middle. But it seems too mediocre. The scabbard is made of top-grade metal, and it also contains top-grade animal skin. However, it seems that it has been a long time. There are some scratches on the metal scabbard. Even though the skin has been well maintained, there are also some denitrification. On the hilt of the sword, there are many stripes to let the sword holder control the weapon more effectively... It's not a collection, it seems to be a real weapon... But it's strange that in this gorgeous Weapon Collection House, only this real weapon seems to have nothing brilliant. It's just a common sword. Luoxue seems to be a little curious. He can't help reaching out to touch the handle of the sword. He even wants to pull it out to have a closer look. What's special about this sword? Can it be put in the most important position in this room? Just before his hand touched the handle of the sword... Behind him, at the door, a peaceful voice came in, with a hint of laziness“ I'm sorry, you can't touch that sword. " With the sound, a man came in slowly. Hearing this voice, the expression on Vivian's face became infinite joy from the moment of shock. She immediately turned around and stared at the comer strangely, then finally exclaimed“ Ah! Du, Du Wei... You, you're back? "“ Yes, I'm back. " Du Wei's smile seems to hide a trace of fatigue, came over, first gently took his little fiancee's waist, and then calmly looked straight at the snow. In Dewey's eyes, there was no change in Ruth's mind, as deep as the sea. They looked at each other“ Hello, you must be tulip. I'm Luoxue The spirit king said slowly“ Oh... I knew your name from my staff before I came in, dear guest. " Dewey nodded, but then, suddenly, he asked a straightforward question“ Er... With all due respect. " Du Wei scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "well, what puzzles me is, are you a man or a woman?"
