Far Sail Territory, Orange Leaf Castle.
Tonight was obviously an unusual occasion.
Due to Olivia's coming-of-age ceremony, the servants did not hesitate to light up the alchemy lamps in every room. The entire aristocratic castle was bathed in brilliant lights.
Male and female servants shuttled back and forth in the castle in an orderly manner. There were even a few beautiful figures of the Night Creatures among them. As a part of the aristocratic heritage, the appearance of the supernatural servants really made the guests' eyes light up.
Others might not be able to see how good the business was, but these things on the surface were proof of the Aimor family's prosperity.
Ding!
Toasts were exchanged.
The guests of extraordinary status held wine glasses and chatted in groups of three to five about the hot topics in the country, abroad, and the new and old continents. They took this rare opportunity to start their own social activities.
There were two topics that could not be left out. The first was that Georgia had been enfeoffed to Viscount Garriott not long ago, becoming the third owner colony in the new continent. The second was that with the arrival of the autumn shipping season, news of Ugor Island from the kingdom's mainland had arrived.
It was rumored that the person who named the miracle island "Ugor" was the main character of tonight's banquet, Marquis Aimor's daughter, Olivia!
However, although these matters were important, they were not the key to tonight's banquet. The atmosphere during the guests' conversation was far from as joyous as it seemed.
This was because the greeting most of them had tonight was, "Today, is your … son here?"
The standards of adulthood set by each country in the world were different. From Heimar's age of 13 for boys and 12 for girls, to Southwind's age of 20 for girls, there were many countries and regions within this range that corresponded to each age group.
Adulthood meant …
They were qualified to drink in public, get married, elect (lower house), register as a business organization … They also began to bear the corresponding legal responsibilities. For the children of aristocrats, this was also the beginning of their family's true involvement in the social circle.
Although the standard of adulthood in the entire Tulip Alliance was 16 years old, Elvin was the same.
However, Olivia was an exception. The Aimor family was a traditional aristocratic family of the Tulip Alliance. Under normal circumstances, they would strictly abide by the traditions. Obviously, the root of the problem came from another side — Olivia's maternal family.
Of course, Marquise Nymph didn't start learning gem witchcraft after marriage.
Black hair was the typical characteristic of the people of the ancient Holy Rosa Empire. The Scipio Family that Nymphs came from was also a noble family with a long history. In their heyday, they were even the consul of the empire.
However, the Scipio family was small in number and gradually declined many years ago, but the tradition of the coming-of-age ceremony remained.
In other words, in the eyes of outsiders, Olivia would officially become an adult woman of marriageable age!
Therefore, in the mind of any qualified noble, the first three things that came to mind were: Marriage alliance, marriage alliance, and marriage alliance!
In the lounge on the second floor of the banquet hall.
Olivia was surrounded by a group of delicately dressed girls. Sarah, the 'Night Spirit', and the head maid of the Marquis family were doing the final touches on her attire.
As the guests slowly arrived, the focus of their conversation gradually shifted.
"Wow, look, there are so many handsome young men today! That's Lionel from the Dulles family. I heard that he's the champion of the novice Knight category in this year's Alliance Swordsmanship Competition. He's a genius who's about to be promoted to an official Knight. "
"Look at that, Brandi from the Jeremy family. I heard that he just led his family's merchant ship to complete a triangular trade and made a lot of money."
"That's Enoch, the son of Sir Lowell, the chairman of the Royal Central Bank's Executive Committee in the New World. He's so handsome! His clothes should be enough to exchange for a military horse, right? "
“.....”
Because one invitation card could bring an entourage, after the invitation cards were sent out, many outstanding young people from the Tulip Alliance also flocked to the banquet hall.
Although Olivia's group of best friends came from good families, they couldn't help but scream when they saw the scene that was like a talent show.
Suddenly.
A girl in a pink dress rolled her eyes and came to Olivia's side with a smile.
"Hersey, Hersey, don't you like any of these people?"
Olivia, who was fixing her hairstyle, didn't even raise her head.
"Nope, why?"
"Then … give me one, okay? When the banquet starts later, you have to introduce me! "
"Give me one too."
"Me too!"
Olivia rolled her eyes at the group of perverted girls.
"Sure, sure, sure. Take them all. Although there are no outsiders here, can't you ladies be a little more reserved? "
"Can being reserved feed you? Hersey, you really don't know what it means to have too many wolves and too little meat. "
Then, among the group of girls, a tall girl in a purple dress crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her eyes flashed with deep longing.
"Hey, since you've all been allocated, leave General Garriott to me!"
The lounge instantly fell silent.
The next moment.
biubiubiu...
Including Olivia, pairs of beautiful eyes cast a death stare at her in unison.
.....
Elvin, dressed in a neat general's suit, sat in an inconspicuous corner of the banquet hall. As for Milan, who came with him, and Apsuya, who was also invited, they had already hidden somewhere and were whispering sweet nothings to each other.
Beside him.
"This is delicious, Annie, try it."
Jasmine, who had been a pirate since birth, finally realized her dream of wearing a formal suit to attend a banquet in the castle of a great noble family.
Anita rejected the good intentions of the girl who was stuffing herself with food. She stretched out her finger and gently tapped on Jasmine's white forehead. "Eat, eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. Let's see who wants you if you eat until you're a fat girl."
Jasmine calmly swallowed the roasted pork shoulder with plenty of spice in her mouth and stuffed a small cake in her mouth. She said vaguely:
"What? You'll take care of me. Hmm, I'll let … my brother take care of me. "
Time passed quickly amidst the banter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome …"
After the marquis' welcoming speech, no one cared about him at all.
The band played, the lights followed, and countless guests waited eagerly.
Tap … tap … tap …
Olivia, dressed in a luxurious off-shoulder evening gown, walked down the stairs while holding the hem of her skirt. Her translucent crystal heels sparkled under the lights. She was dazzlingly beautiful, like a goddess of the moon who had descended to the mortal world. No one dared to look directly at her.
In particular, seven or eight sapphire butterflies, the same color as Olivia's eyes, danced beside the girl. It was like a dream scene in every girl's heart.
Elvin's [Animate Dead] could last for a very long time without giving them combat ability.
At this moment, the hearts of countless people, regardless of gender, were struck.
Many young people who thought they had the qualifications to compete were rubbing their hands together, eager to win the next important event — the social ball to celebrate their coming-of-age ceremony.
However, when the first note of the dance song "Alice in the Moonlight" was played, a young man wearing a military uniform walked over.
The young man in the general's uniform had already taken the initiative to walk in front of the girl. He bowed slightly with one hand behind his back, inviting the most beautiful gem princess tonight to dance with him.
The group of outstanding young people who were eager to give it a try immediately quieted down. Rear Admiral, Viscount George, Great Knight (Error), Master Swordsman, Quasi-Legendary Captain, Vice Commander of the New World Garrison Force, Partner of the Mercury Union Trading Company …
"Referee! Damn it, someone is breaking the rules here! "
While holding a soft hand and hugging a slender waist, a group of jeweled butterflies danced around them along with the music notes. The tenderness and sweetness in their eyes could simply make the fragrant single dogs retreat thirty miles away from them.
In this place, silence spoke louder than words. Even a blind person could see the intimacy between them.
This was the first time the two of them declared their relationship in public, but it would not be the last.
Olivia's best friends were already petrified. They shouted from the bottom of their hearts:
"My … general! Hersey is so cunning … "
.....
At this moment, an uninvited guest swaggered into the banquet hall.
"Hehehehe …"
On his shoulder, a little girl no more than ten centimeters tall with a pair of horns and flames wrapped around her body kept waving her fists and kicking, eager to have a go.
However, in the eyes of others, they did not notice anything strange about them.
"Eve Litt, we are not here to cause trouble. Put away your violent side. Strategy, strategy, do you understand? "
Ariy, who had already changed her attire, stopped the irritable strongest familiar on her shoulder and felt a slight headache.
Because she was in charge of mysteries, stars, the gate to the spirit world, prophecy, and other divine roles, the "Bright Starry Night" of the Seven Gods was probably the most tolerant of wizards and supernatural creatures.
In the Kingdom of Heimar, which was ruled by her, the status of demons was second only to the angels. The race that controlled fire was the most powerful of the demons.
Like the mythical dragon, as long as it could reach adulthood, it would be born as a powerful fourth-grade being. Even if Eve Litt was just a little underage one, it was already a third-grade supernatural creature.
This elemental creature from the heavens could change its size at will. It was also the most powerful familiar that Ariya could summon and contract after she became a peak official wizard. Ariya sacrificed a 635-carat "peach-colored pillar" that could be said to be a priceless treasure.
Both sides had a very equal cooperative relationship, and Ariyi did not dare to force it to do anything.
"Alright, Ariya. Tell me, what's your strategy? "
Hearing that there was no need to fight, the little girl was a little unhappy, but she did not make a fuss.
"Although you are a third-grade, the two of us together can't beat a great wizard. But isn't today her daughter's coming-of-age ceremony? As long as I capture the heart of that lady, what gem can't I get?
Although I still don't know which lady here is the daughter of the great wizard Nymphs. "
Ariya patted her chest and confidently told her plan.
"You? Can you? "
The flaming demon crossed its arms and looked at her with suspicion.
"Love is actually quite simple. Just walk over and say, 'Hey! Do you want to date me? Then it'll be done. I've never failed with this method before! "
Ariya raised her head. On her handsome face, there was a word clearly written: "Make a living with your face!"
