Lord Helanza

The melodious piano sound surrounds the dance floor.

The all around lamppost exudes soft rays of light, the marble floor under her feet is polished very smoothly, Hathaway’s crystal dancing shoes step on it and make a crisp sound, and the two follow faintly Beat dancing lightly and gracefully.

Surdak doesn’t know how to dance this kind of ballroom dance. He can only follow Hathaway’s feet stepping back with concentrated attention completely. His body is very stiff, and he always has to look down at his toes, always Worried about stepping on Hathaway's skirt.

He didn't even know what it was like to put his arms around Hathaway's waist. He just felt that a faint rose perfume kept getting into his nose.

With a fair and clean forehead, he looked down at her face from top to bottom. Apart from having a pair of magnificent green eyes like gems, Hathaway’s nose is straight and the proportions of her face are just right. Especially after carefully dressed up, it makes people feel a little amazing.

Hathaway raised her head slightly and looked at Surdak with a faint smile.

She has occupied Surdak and danced three consecutive dances. The sisters of the Luther family on the dance floor can’t wait to stab her with their eyes, but they just think about it, Hathaway But the most favored.

When she danced the first dance, Hathaway knew that this guy could not dance at all, but it didn’t matter, she could take him with him and give him enough hints, and then the two of them would slow down on the dance floor. Rotating slowly, by the time of the third song, Surdak was obviously much better and could already keep up with her dance steps.

Be eager to have a try, Beatrice was waiting on the dance floor. She was worried about Hathaway in the backyard just now. Didn’t expect Surdak to appear directly at the dance party. Guests of the Marquis of Luther.

There are many expensive clansman attending the dance tonight. Some young aristocrats’ eyes are on Hathaway. They want to drive away the aristocrat who danced three dances with Hathaway in one breath. The daughter of the Marquis of Luther rarely participates in this kind of post-dinner dance. There are only a few tunes in a dance. This guy dominates three in one go. The rest depends on Hathaway’s mood. She was rejected. The odds will inevitably increase greatly.

When the tune stopped, Hathaway took Surdak's hand and walked towards Beatrice on the dance floor.

In the chaotic crowd, a gorgeously dressed woman stood up and stopped Hathaway. The woman had a beautiful face. She looked a few years older than Hathaway at worst. She stood in front of Hathaway. Said to her politely:

"Hathaway, you can't dominate him all the time. You should rest for a while. At least you should give Surdak Baron a chance to get to know the other sisters."

Hathaway looked at the Seven Lady Mabel with cold eyes.

She is a very ambitious woman. She once threatened the status of Mother Marian in the family, but since the last time she secretly prevented the Marquis of Luther from participating in the Battle of the Campato River, she provoked Luther. The Marquis was so angry that every time Marquis Luther remembered that battle, his face would be gloomy and scary.

Hathaway ignored her. She is a grudge, and will not forgive the woman in front of her because of that thing that has passed so long.

She directly took Surdak to the front of Beatrice, put Beatrice's hand into Surdak's palm, and said:

"Beat Liz, I'm tired, you come for me!" Beatrice pursed her mouth, lifted her skirt and curtseyed to Surdak, her white breasts a little dazzling.

Surdak also leaned over to salute, contrasting Atris slightly smiled, the two did not speak very tacitly, Surdak thinks this is also very good, and familiar people on the dance floor, at least not too Nervous and will not be embarrassed because there is no topic to talk about.

Beatrice was pulled off the dance floor by Surdak, and soon disappeared into the chaotic dance floor.

Ms. Mabel chased up from behind, and angrily accused Hathaway:

"Shouldn’t it be Surdak Baron's right to dance with? Hathaway? , You can’t do this, you’re too domineering."

Hathaway stood on the dance floor, took a glass of fruit wine from a waiter, and lightly sipped it.

She said to Mrs. Mabel: "It’s my business, Mabel, you don’t have the right to blame me."

Mable's eyes widened and said to Hathaway’s The counterattack was a little out of breath, she clenched her hands tightly, and said angrily: "You actually talk to me like this!"

Hathaway ignored her and just sat next to her. Empty chair.

Seeing that Hathaway simply ignores herself, Mrs. Mabel really has no means to intimidate Hathaway, and she can't even tell the Marquis Luther about it, so as not to make him feel that she is always there. Mrs. Mabel can only panting with rage to leave.

She was almost fainted by Hathaway.

Encouraged by friends, a handsome young nobleman plucked up the courage and walked to Hathaway. He bent down and invited Hathaway, "Miss Hathaway, can you please Dancing?"

Hathaway looked at the youngster who had emerged from nowhere with a surprised look, and directly refused: "Not interested!"

"..."

The youngster stood awkwardly and didn't know how to continue the topic for a while, but he didn't want to just turn around and walk away.

...

Mrs. Marianne and the Marquis of Luther are sitting together, and Mrs. Annabella is sitting on their side.

No matter where Hathaway goes, it is the focus of the youngster's gaze on the court, but there are not many people who dare to go up and touch the bad. Madame Marianne whispered to the Marquis Luther from the side: " Look, you spoiled Hathaway."

The Marquis Luther smiled openly and shook the head indifferently. all is idle, let alone Hathaway, even I can't understand them!"

Mrs. Marian said with some worry: "But Hathaway always needs to have some friends, I don't want her Isolated in the circle of nobility..."

"A good friend only needs one or two people." Marquis Luther waved his hand again.

People keep coming up to Luther to say hello, and the conversation between them has been intermittent.

When I saw Hathaway holding Surdak's hand naturally and walking out of the dance floor, Lady Annabella’s eyebrows raised, looking at the still unknown Marquis Luther, asked: " Ferdinand, he is the young nobleman whom you have made an appointment in advance to let Hathaway know?"

Nodded, Marquis Luther.

He also didn't expect Hathaway, who had always been dismissive of young nobles, and did not reject Surdak. This was a good start.

"What's the matter?" Luther asked, looking at Mrs. Annabella.

Mrs. Annabella wouldn’t say that when she was a human There are twists and turns."

The Marquis Luther did not understand Lady Annabella’s unspoken implication, although the Marquis Luther was in a good mood tonight.

He did an opening dance with Mrs. Marianne, and after another dance with Mrs. Annabella, his younger sister, he sat on the sofa and chatted with Mrs. Annabella and Mrs. Marianne, Anna Mrs. Bella and Mrs. Marianne were close friends in the past, and their relationship has become closer in recent years.

Middle-aged people naturally also have the trouble of middle age person. The magic potions on the market are not easy to buy now.

……

The Seventh Lady Mabel sat down, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt angrily. She felt that Hathaway was deliberately targeting her, when several ladies next to her talked When Hathaway, she said:

"At the beginning, she and the Baron Sidney in Helanza signed a marriage contract. Later, the young nobleman died in battle on the plane of Warsaw. Now this youngster still belongs to Helanza. It seems that Ferdinand really looks different to the young nobles of Helanza!"

I heard that Mrs. Mabel actually talked about Baron Sidney at the ball, that was almost the last thing the Marquis Luther wanted to mention. The lady immediately changed her face when she heard the words.

Ms. Sissy reminded me kindly: "Mable, be careful that these words are heard by Marianne."

Ms. Mable was scared when she saw that everyone said something outrageous. I almost stopped the current topic, and leaned sullenly on the sofa, and said reluctantly: "Well, I won't be so stupid to say it in front of her, but when it comes to our husband's love for Hathaway too much , Do you see when he and our daughter were so amiable, Hathaway had such a big quarrel, and in the end it was just banned."

At this time, Mrs. Sissy said with some emotion:" Yes, in Ferdinand’s eyes, he only has a daughter, Hathaway!"

Ms. Mabel, seeing these wives like quail, refused to express their mentality, so she proposed:" Sitting here is noisy, or we should go back to play cards."

"Actually, I want to sit for a while..."

There was silence for a while, then Some people refused.

……

The round face is obviously much bolder than Atris than Hathaway, she almost put her face in Surdak’s arms, so that the two Standing with her feet crossed, she put her hands under Surdak's armpits, hugged Surdak's shoulders tightly, and placed Surdak's hands on her plump waist and hips.

She made no secret of her feelings, and asked in a low voice:

"How long can you stay here?"

Surdak feels like she should go quickly .

Participate in this kind of dance a few more times, and perhaps forget that remote mountain village completely.

The melodious and beautiful music, the gentle and watery woman, and the sweet and sweet fruit wine can quickly completely corrupt a determined warrior.

So he said to Atriz: "If nothing else, I will take the nearest magic airship to Helanza. There are a lot of miscellaneous things over there, and the remnants of the rebels are still there. Strolling around, you can’t rest assured if you don’t go back, it will be the Harvest Festival after a while."

"Back to Helanza, don’t forget to write to us!"

Soon At the end of the ball, the Marquis Luther called Surdak in front of him again, and said directly to him:

"This time you go back, you have to be prepared, at least the defense team of the territory must be established. Now the Grimm Empire Wars broke out everywhere. It was when we established our meritorious service. You can write to tell me how easy life is for the nobles, what kind of responsibilities and what kind of support they need to stand in, you can write to me. , Pena City is much richer than Helanza City."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Surdak replied seriously.

……

When Surdak left Pena City, Hathaway and Beatrice went to the airport terminal to see off.

At this moment, a large number of Fiend hunters gathered in Pena again. The Bradbury family’s crystal key was stolen for the second time. As a result, the secret of the Red Dragon treasure could not be hidden. Many hunters Fiend and Fiend The adventure group and mercenary group began to collect a lot of clues in Pena City.

the past few days, the thieves' guild in Pena city was full of profits, and just a few inside information was repeatedly sold hundreds of times.

Instead, in the depths of Desolate Land outside the Paglos Pass, there are not only some adventure groups, but also some lone wolf-like demon hunters.

Their arrival made Wall Village outside the mountain pass suddenly become lively. Wall Village has also become a small supply station, but it also makes Desolate Land more unstable. Those adventure group and mercenary group are not kind people.

But in this barren land, people’s greatest asset is the golden wheat fields in the fields. Whether it is an adventure group or a demon hunter, these villagers who have almost nothing are interested in it.

Surdak’s biggest worry is the unsettled rebels Knight. Andrew had seen them at the junction of Desolate Land and the Great Desert, but the sand on the other side of the desert was too windy and the rebels He risked his death and got into the sandstorm and got rid of Andrew's tracking. Later, he couldn't find the group of rebels anyway.

According to Andrew, a few more salamanders were found in the lava river sulfur mine of Pustule Mountain, and Ogre Gulitum rushed to deal with it.

The militia of Desolate Land has been established for nearly three months.

During this period, apart from going to Wall Village to receive three pockets of food, there was no action.

Seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching, Surdak is also preparing for the training plan for the militia camp.

Boarding on the magic airship, I just saw a magic airship on the opposite tower platform. A group of adventure groups dressed as youngsters jumped down from the side of the airship, causing a group of people on the terminal platform. Exclaimed.

Surdak moved towards Hathaway and Beatrice under the tower waved their hands, reluctantly left the airport terminal, then turned and walked back to the cabin of the magic airship.

It didn't take long for the floating device on the magic airship to slowly open.

The crew put away the ropes tied to the pier.

The airship trembled for a while, and then all the ropes slowly tightened.

The magic airship slowly lifted into the air, and soon entered the channel in the wind layer. The sails swelled and the magic airship drove at full speed in the air. After seven days of steady flight, it finally arrived in Helanza City.

This time around, although everything went smoothly on the road, it was the end of September to reach Helanza City.

Helanza is preparing for the harvest festival and the large-scale celebration of the adult ceremony. Dassy Christie’s wedding has ended a long time ago. It seems that she has not received the invitation, and she is standing at the airport tower. Going up, looking at the highest castle in Helanza, Surdak couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
