Chapter 422

The carriage came out of lomine in a wobble.

Hastings estate is built in the suburb of lomine, but it is said to be a suburb. In fact, the journey alone will take more than two hours. During this period, the atmosphere in the spacious carriage was quite harmonious, except for some frightened young lady.

Sean took a book from the tavern, so the two hours were very good.

Alfred and Arnold both chose to close their eyes, because no one knew what would happen next.

Only Christina felt a terrible pressure all the time, which made her back almost completely wet. In fact, Rena just looked at Christina with interest. She didn't use her momentum to suppress it. Just as an unparalleled general who can easily kill several in and out on the battlefield, the kind of bloody smell that Rena inadvertently sent out is naturally not what Kristina, who has never been in the battle, can bear.

Even if Rena didn't deliberately suppress it.

This situation doesn't matter to Sean and others, even avi hastin, but it's a kind of mental torture for Christina.

This is the difference between real combat and no real combat.

In the process of continuing to wobble, the carriage finally arrived at Hastings manor.

Christina could hardly wait to open the door and get out of the car. After breathing a burst of fresh air, her face returned to a little ruddy, but on the whole, she was still pale. The cold air made her dizzy and almost stagnant brain and thought finally began to work again, but it also made her more clearly understand the strength gap between herself and Sean.

Originally, after Sean won Christina in the arena that day, Christina had to admit that she was really frightened at the beginning. Afterwards, she felt that if she fought hard without hesitation, she might not have no chance of winning. But she is really a person who keeps her promise. Since she has conceded defeat before, she certainly won't deny it, but she is determined to duel with Sean again before Sean leaves.

Therefore, Christina has been practicing her skills very hard recently, and her diligence is even much higher than when she was under the guidance of her teacher.

But today, through these short two hours, she really knows where the biggest gap between herself and Sean is.

"Christina, you're here." While Christina was still thinking, soma hastin had already met up with Qazi.

As the owner of Hastings manor, of course, soma also needs to come out to meet the guests, but not everyone who comes to the banquet is worthy of his personal reception. But both Christina and Sean are obviously different, so he can't help but go out in person. Of course, as the most likely successor to the Hastings family in the future, AVI Hastings is also with soma.

"Are you okay, Tina?" Avi saw Christina's pale face and naturally came forward with concern.

Seeing avi's performance, soma nodded secretly. Obviously, she was very satisfied with AVI's practice. If Sean saw this scene, he would immediately know that soma, who apparently hasn't stood in line in the Hastings family, has already chosen avi as his next master. In fact, it's understandable to make this choice. After all, AVI has the greatest winning chance among all the candidates for the next heirs of the Hastings family, The sooner you stand in line, the greater the benefits you can reap in the future. It's impossible for a smart person like soma not to understand.

But some things, before they get a clear performance, many people will have some illusions.

"Did that guy Fran ask you to do something again?" Before soma's inner admiration fell, AVI's second sentence caused soma's eyebrows to frown.

"Master avi." Soma had to cough gently as a reminder.

"It's none of his business." Christina shook her head and replied that her attitude and tone were very firm, and when she saw that avi was too close to herself, she quietly retreated a few steps and reopened the distance, which made soma's eyebrows wrinkle again. It was obvious that the opportunities he could create to let AVI and Christina together in recent times were in vain, "and, Please call me by my name. "

Some people have long names, so they will have nicknames in the way of addressing. Of course, this nickname refers to better friends.

Tina, of course, is Christina's nickname.

Christina asked avi to call her name instead of nickname, which is naturally a very strong and obvious meaning of resistance.

"Where's Viscount Fran?" At this time, it was naturally impossible for soma to keep the initiative of the topic on avi, so she opened her mouth and said.

"Viscount Fran is over there. They have just got out of the carriage." Christina was embarrassed to say that she got off early because she couldn't stand the pressure in the carriage, so she casually took this problem, and then led soma to the place where Sean and others got off. Of course, AVI was ignored by Christina.

Soma looked back at avi with some worry. Sure enough, she saw a trace of hidden cruelty and resentment in his eyes. It's really a strange thing that people as resourceful and good at forbearance don't have this emotion. However, soma is not worried about what will happen here. He knows the ability of his nominal nephew. At least he can maintain his gentlemanly demeanor before he really tears his face.

Of course, on the other hand, it is also because avi is not Christina's opponent at all. Otherwise, soma really can't imagine whether avi will take any force against Christina. After all, he has tried this behavior several times before, and each time, naturally, his uncle will wipe his ass.

"Viscount Fran, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Under the leadership of Christina, soma soon came to Sean and greeted him warmly.

People with insufficient status naturally choose to avoid at the moment. After all, in such a high-grade banquet held at Hastings manor, people of different classes will certainly have their own circles. If they want to communicate with people in higher class circles, they must need an introducer. Otherwise, if they come forward and disturb, they will be regarded as uncivilized barbarians. For some vanity problems, of course, no one would come up so unintelligibly to disturb the warm meeting between soma and Sean.

But when Sean and others turned around, not only soma, but even avi was stunned.

"Miss Simmy, you... What are you here for?" Avi hurried forward to say hello, but at this moment, he already had a faint bad feeling in his heart, because Reina, who he called Simmy, was standing next to Sean, "why didn't you say it before you came? In this case, I can pick you up in person."

"No." Rena said bluntly, "I came with Fran. This invitation doesn't seem to be useful. Give it back to you."

After that, Rena directly returned the luxurious invitation worth hundreds of gold coins to avi.

At this moment, almost everyone can see avina's completely stiff face, and sensitive people like Rena, Sean and Alfred can even feel avi's inner emotions that he is trying to suppress at the moment.

It was an extremely negative and violent mood.

In fact, if you change a person with poor psychological quality, I'm afraid it's really completely turned over at the moment. After all, although what Rena just said is an unintentional fact, it's a naked contempt for an aristocrat. Moreover, the environment at the moment is still in Hastings manor. After saying this, it seems to despise the whole Hastings family.

Even soma's face changed slightly and seemed a little unnatural: "ha ha, viscount Fran is really... Really broad friends."

"Hehe, miss Simmy is a friend I met on the road. Because our communication is very pleasant, we decided to experience together for the time being."

Of course, Sean has also felt the hostility hidden in soma's words, but he doesn't even pay attention to the whole Hastings family. Naturally, he doesn't think that just a soma or avi can pose any threat to him. Just now there are still things to be solved, and Sean still wants to recruit soma if he can, So the tone is quite polite.

"Because I happened to be coming to Hastings manor, and I thought miss Simmy had an invitation, so I invited her to come with me." Sean said with a smile. He didn't seem to feel soma's Secret hostility at all. "Shouldn't there be any disrespect?"

"Not at all." Soma immediately replied with a smile, "master avi, could you please show miss Simmy around a little?"

"Oh, this is natural." Avi immediately responded that soma deliberately wanted to move away from Sean and Rena. After all, he also knew what was going to be held secretly tonight, and Simmy's identity certainly could not participate, so visiting Hastings manor became a great excuse. "Miss Simmy, let me show you Hastings manor The main venue of the banquet is on the other side. "

In fact, Rena doesn't like going to parties. She prefers to practice martial arts and train her soldiers. At this moment, she suddenly missed her subordinates. It was much more interesting to train them than to attend this boring party at the moment. However, she noticed Sean's imperceptible nod, so she had to nod reluctantly and promise to leave here with avi.

Of course, AVI is trying to get Rena to join the Hastings family tonight, but in fact, Sean knows it's impossible, so of course he won't worry.

"I don't know where Marquis yeres is now?" When AVI and Rena left, Sean asked.

"Marquis yeles is in the parliament hall. Master Rhoda has arrived. Let's go together now." Soma is also a little afraid of long nights and dreams. She doesn't know what will happen if she stays here for a while, so she also wants to throw Sean into the parliament hall. After all, there is also yeles, who is also a scholar, who can communicate with Sean.

"OK." Sean certainly wouldn't object to this.

But just then, a sudden sound of Horseshoes sounded, accompanied by the cries of several Hastings manor guards.

Such a noisy voice naturally soon attracted the attention of many people at the gate of the manor.

Soma's eyebrows frowned. Because of a series of troubles and the unexpected knowledge of the relationship between Rena and Sean, he was a little angry. At the moment, naturally, it gave him a chance to vent, so he said to Sean, waited a moment, walked towards the front door, and shouted in a deep voice, "what's the matter?"

"Originally, this is the hospitality of the Hastings family." Almost as soon as soma's voice fell, a crisp voice unique to young women responded, "I've seen it with my own eyes today, ha ha."

Soma followed her reputation, but found that the man was a girl of about 20 years old. She looked a little petite and lovely, but her temperament showed a maturity inconsistent with her age. The figure of the man swept through soma's mind quickly, and then he immediately confirmed that he had never seen the girl, but when soma was ready to scold the girl, he took aim at the family emblem on the carriage the girl was riding.

This discovery made soma immediately swallow the sound she was ready to scold, and her face looked a little surprised.

By this time, Sean had also come to the front door. He also saw the family emblem on the carriage, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Because this family emblem belongs to the unique family emblem of the boulder family!

As we all know, the boulder family and the nugus family are seriously at odds, and the Hastings family is a family attached to nugus.

So at this moment, what is this girl who obviously came from the boulder family doing here?

Almost everyone showed this idea after recognizing the family emblem on the carriage.
