Chapter 205: Stunning Beauty (Part 2)
Du Wei had seen quite a number of beauties in this world!
Vivian's beauty had a kind of naivety and cuteness that made one's heart ache for her. This was especially so when one couldn't help but have an irrepressible urge to bully her and protect her at the same time.
Ruo Lin, the female Knight, had a dazzling hot body. Her innate talent allowed her to possess an almost devilish body. Add to that her many years of experience in the Jianghu, Ruo Lin understood that she had to make full use of every bit of her beauty to maximize her charm.
Joanna, on the other hand, was a snow beauty. Her cold and elegant appearance coupled with her perpetually aloof expression made her appear like the cold moon in winter. She was cold and pure, yet at the same time, tightly attracting you!
Among all of them, the most outstanding in terms of appearance was the Queen of Medusa, the current Miss Nicole! Du Wei had considered this snake beauty's appearance to be the pinnacle of beauty in this world. Purely in terms of appearance, she was almost impeccable. Her beauty could even cause one's heart to palpitate! So beautiful that one would not dare to look at her directly. So beautiful that one would even feel … … fear!
Purely in terms of appearance, be it Vivian, Ruo Lin or Joanna, all of them were slightly inferior to Medusa.
Today, however, Du Wei finally saw a woman whose appearance could be said to be comparable to the Queen of Medusa!
This girl before him was probably the younger sister of the Marquise of Lister.
Du Wei was unable to accurately describe her appearance. However, looking at this girl before him, his heart suddenly recalled the best description of a peerless beauty that he knew from his previous life:
The moon as the spirit, the flower as the face, the ice as the flesh, the jade as the bones, the snow as the skin!
This girl before him, without a doubt, was worthy of this evaluation! There was also a hint of charm on her body. Her long neck was as elegant as a swan's, and there was a faint smile on her fragrant lips.
The only thing that makes people slightly puzzled is that the Marquise's sister is only 16 years old. As for the girl in front of him, her appearance was so enchanting and exquisite. Just looking at her figure, the thin spring clothes outlined a seductive curve. This seductive figure, how was it the appearance of a sixteen year old budding girl?
From the looks of it, this girl should be about 18 or 19 years old.
Could she be the maid of the Marquise's sister? But how could a maid possess such a calm and elegant temperament?
However, Du Wei had always thought that most of the beauties in this world matured earlier than ordinary girls. It wasn't strange.
Du Wei's stunned look was noticed by everyone around him. However, the White Feather Knight of the Lister Family didn't show any surprise on his face. It seems that he's already accustomed to the beauty of his young lady. Du Wei coughed softly and walked over. Using a standard aristocratic etiquette, he bowed slightly and extended his hand. Showing the most elegant smile that even the court etiquette master couldn't find fault with: "Miss Lister, welcome."
This stunning beauty sweetly smiled and slightly bowed. Reaching out her small hand, she placed it on top of Du Wei's palm. Du Wei felt that the small hand in his hand was soft and smooth. Almost subconsciously, he couldn't help but gently pinch it. This action was purely a subconscious reaction that others didn't know about. It's just that Miss Lister couldn't help but blush. Those limpid eyes of hers seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist as a trace of shyness flashed across her face. Lowering her eyelids, she didn't dare to look at Du Wei.
Du Wei cleared his throat and kissed the other's hand. Then, he took half a step back and smiled: "Young Lady, you've worked hard."
"Duke is too polite." The blush on Miss Lister's face faded away, but her voice made Du Wei's heart skip a beat! This girl's voice seems to have a faint nasal sound, soft and waxy. Just a few words from her can seduce a person's soul. Such a wonderful voice, it's enough to make people's heart tremble. As long as a woman's voice is too coquettish, there's always a trace of pretentiousness to it. But this Miss Lister's voice, while soft and charming to the extreme, is completely natural. It's as if she was born with this voice. If not, then it wouldn't be her at all.
Then he heard her smile: "Duke, from what I've seen along the way, the customs of the Desa Province are very different from the legends. It can be seen that Duke's achievements in the Northwest are remarkable. Despite your young age, your future is boundless. Truly admirable." Pausing for a moment, as if remembering something, she faintly smiled: "Oh, my little brother and sister are tired from the journey. Last night, they even caught a cold. I'm afraid they won't be able to come out of the carriage to greet you. I hope you don't mind."
Du Wei didn't care at first, but when he heard the last sentence "my little brother and sister", he couldn't help but be stunned.
This person isn't Miss Lister?!
Seeing her say "my little brother and sister", to be qualified to say such things … … Could she be?
Du Wei's eyes suddenly widened as he stared at this "Miss Lister" in front of him. He couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah! You are … … "
The stunning beauty in front of him covered her mouth and smiled: "It's my fault for forgetting to introduce myself. Duke, I am Lan Lister, bestowed the title of Marquise by the emperor. "
Du Wei's shock is no small matter!
Marquise Lister? The richest widow in the empire?! The most famous beauty in the empire's aristocratic circle?
But … … Along the way, why didn't anyone inform me that Marquise Lister personally came?
And … … Rumor has it that this Marquise is already 30 years old, but why does she look so young? According to Du Wei's eyes, this woman in front of him, no matter how he looks, shouldn't be more than 20 years old!
For a moment, Du Wei was a bit embarrassed, but this awkwardness only lasted for a moment. Smiling generously: "It's my fault for making a fool of myself. I didn't expect the Marquise to be so young and beautiful. I almost thought you were your little sister."
However, this Marquise was exceptionally intelligent and considerate. She smiled gently, her soft and charming voice could make people lose their minds. Then she slowly said, "Your Excellency the Duke really knows how to flatter people. How could a smart person like you be wrong? You are clearly complimenting people in a different way. I don't know how many compliments I've heard since I was a child, but your strange way of complimenting me today really makes me ashamed. At my age, to be praised by the Duke like this, it's really … … "
Speaking up to here, her face turned red again.
Du Wei didn't dare to say anything more. Soon after, the Marquise followed Du Wei into the castle. As for her little brother and sister, they said they were tired from the journey and fell ill. So, they only let the carriage be driven to the castle's courtyard so they can go in to freshen up and rest before coming to see the Duke.
Du Wei made such a mistake in the beginning, so in his heart, he was secretly cursing his subordinates for being useless. The news of Marquise Lister's visit never came, leaving him in the dark. Just now, he lost such a face in front of everyone. What he didn't know was that the Marquise Lister's trip this time was kept secret and blocked the news! Along the way, she didn't show up, so naturally, no one knows about Du Wei's territory.
After arriving at the lounge, Du Wei knew that the Marquise didn't come here for a simple visit or simply to send her little brother and sister to the Northwest. There must be something going on, so he simply waved his hand to dismiss the servants.
After personally pouring a cup of special honey, Du Wei regained his composure. Although sitting so close to the Marquise's beauty, Du Wei is after all someone who has seen the wind and waves. Smiling indifferently, he said: "Marquise, your sudden visit really makes me feel flattered. I don't know why you came to the Northwest, is there something important? "
The Marquise smiled faintly and said: "Duke, since last year in the frozen forest, when you met Dadaneier and saved my life, it has been almost a year."
Then she sighed softly: "In this year, a lot of things have changed. In just a year, you've become a famous magician on the continent. You're also a Duke of the Empire. You've won the recognition of His Highness the Prince Regent. You also shone brightly on the day of the coup. Now, everyone on the continent knows your name. Along the way, I have seen the prosperity of the Desa Province under your management. Your extraordinary talent is really admirable. "
Du Wei didn't speak. The other's praise was completely accepted by him.
"Duke." The Marquise suddenly smiled: "This time, I came to the Northwest for no other reason. My two little brother and sister lost their mother when they were young. I am a little older than them, so the relationship between the siblings is very good. We have never been separated for such a long time. Although they are my little brother and sister, but after their mother died when they were young, their dependence on me grew. Naturally, they would be reluctant to part with me. Since I have nothing to do, I simply accompanied them to the Northwest. Besides … … "Pausing for a moment, the Marquise softly said:" My lord, your fifteenth birthday is coming soon. I am indebted to the Duke, so how can I miss your coming of age ceremony? "
Du Wei's heart moved, thinking: Here it comes!
Sure enough, the Marquise gently sipped her tea, and then casually asked: "I heard that since young, my lord has lived in seclusion and rarely interacted with the other children of the Imperial Capital. Later on, I wholeheartedly focused on practicing magic and lived in seclusion. But now that my lord is famous all over the world, I am afraid that those young girls in the Imperial Capital have become your admirers. I don't know if my lord has someone in mind? "
Du Wei really didn't expect that the Marquise would go straight to the topic so quickly! Without the slightest bit of concealment, she went straight to the point and directly brought up this topic.
He hesitated for a moment, and then smiled: "Madam, you must be joking. I am only a ten year old boy. Right now, I still don't have anything to think about. Moreover, you also know that I am a magician. As a magician, I consider exploring the mysteries of magic as my life's greatest goal. I don't have much time to worry about these things. I am an unromantic and clumsy person. I have made a fool of myself in front of you. "
The Marquise smiled charmingly, her eyes gently drifting over Du Wei's face, and slowly said: "I heard that your younger brother, Young Master Gabriel, is already engaged to the Minister of Finance's granddaughter. But you, as her older brother, aren't. This kind of move is really a bit unexpected. " At this point, she deliberately paused for a moment, and then gently smiled: "Your Excellency the Duke, I have heard that in the Imperial Capital, there are many young girls in love who have your name written in their hearts. Even my little sister, who has been very proud since young, recently heard about your style and fame from who knows where. When she was at home, she suddenly had the idea of going to the Imperial Capital Magic Academy to study! Although this child is still young, but I also understand the thoughts in her heart. "
Du Wei secretly cried out in his heart that he couldn't stand it. This Marquise calmly and casually brought her little sister in. Her words were straightforward, and at the same time very skillfully hinted at her little sister's admiration for Du Wei.
In this case, rather than letting her little sister say it, it would be more appropriate for the older sister to say it.
Du Wei didn't know how to respond for a moment. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said: "Marquise, please don't make fun of me. My teacher, Master Gandorf, once said that the pursuit of the mysteries of magic is the goal of my life. Right now, I don't have much time to think about other things. Moreover, others don't know, but I do. I'm intoxicated in the laboratory all day long, and my whole body is filled with the smell of magic potions. If there really is a girl who approaches me, I'm afraid it won't take more than two days for her to run away. "
With that, he smiled: "If your little sister, Miss Lister, is interested in the Magic Academy, I can help. In any case, I heard that the second batch of students will be recruited this year. With my influence in the academy, it shouldn't be difficult for your little sister to enter the Magic Academy. Also, I have a good relationship with Master Alley of the Magician's Guild. For my sake, it should be possible for Miss Lister to be apprenticed to Master Alley."
Seeing Du Wei change the topic, the Marquise wasn't in a hurry. Knowing that this kind of thing can't be rushed, the most important thing is to have a sense of propriety. Gently smiling, she also changed the topic and said a few words.
After that, the two of them chatted about some things that happened in the noble circles of the Imperial Capital, as well as some business dealings between their families. After sitting for a while, someone knocked on the door. Mard came in and reported that the banquet is ready. The Marquise's little brother and sister are also waiting in the dining hall to greet the Duke.
During the prepared banquet, Du Wei finally met the Marquise's little brother and sister.
Although this Miss Lister is said to be more beautiful than the Marquise when she was younger, Du Wei has already seen the stunning beauty of the Marquise. With the shock from before as a foundation, seeing the Marquise's little sister didn't make him any less stunned. This Miss Lister is really beautiful. Her appearance is about eighty percent similar to the Marquise's, but her delicate facial features are three times better. But after all, she's still young. At sixteen years of age, it's inevitable that she looks a bit immature. Compared to the Marquise, she's lacking in elegance and calmness. It's just that the Marquise highlights a bit of purity and elegance. Her whole person looks as fresh as a strawberry.
Moreover, the Marquise didn't lie. The moment this Miss Lister saw Du Wei, her face showed a bit of shyness. Aside from the shyness in her eyes, there's also a hint of joy. After seeing Du Wei for the first time, she only used her delicate voice to ask Du Wei a question mark. Then, as if she didn't dare to talk to him, she would secretly steal glances at Du Wei from time to time.
The Lister House's young master, on the other hand, wasn't so friendly to Du Wei. This young master is fifteen years old, the same age as Du Wei. Probably because he inherited the beautiful blood of the Lister House, this young man is very beautiful. His skin is white and delicate, and his nose is straight. For a boy to be born so beautiful, it's extremely rare. His appearance is seventy to eighty percent similar to the Marquise's. If it weren't for his slightly thicker eyebrows, showing a bit of masculinity ….. If this young man were to wear women's clothing, he'd definitely be a beauty capable of causing the downfall of a nation. Especially his pair of blue eyes, which were like the finest water orchids and diamonds. Within those blue eyes, there was a hint of a strange spirit.
However, the way this young man looks at Du Wei doesn't seem to have much enthusiasm. In fact, Du Wei can faintly feel that there's a hint of hostility.
Even when greeting, his voice is neither servile nor overbearing, with a hint of arrogance. It's just that the young man hasn't changed and his voice is still a bit sharp, making him look somewhat childish. And this Miss Lister is actually wearing a noble-style warrior outfit with a slender long sword. It seems like she's a child who loves martial arts.
During dinner, there's not much to talk about. Du Wei actually felt a bit awkward. The Marquise always seems to be quietly bringing the topic to Du Wei and his sister. But after Du Wei dismissed the topic several times, the Marquise didn't insist. It's just that Miss Lister's neck almost hangs below the table. Her pink face is like a peach blossom, and her pair of eyes looks like they're about to drip water. Coupled with her natural beauty, her whole person is astonishingly charming.
That Young Master Lister didn't say a word. But whenever Du Wei and Miss Lister talk, the young man seems to be deliberately clanking his fork and knife.
Seeing this, Du Wei secretly laughed. Is this young man afraid that I'll steal his sister?
Sure enough, after dinner, Du Wei politely sent the guests back to rest. But this Young Master Lister suddenly asked Du Wei to visit the castle. In particular, he expressed his interest in Du Wei's magic research. Also, he heard that Du Wei has a lot of good horses under his command. Since he likes martial arts and is determined to become a Knight, he really wants to see the best horses in the Northwest.
As the host, Du Wei can't refuse. In any case, the secrets of magic research are all in Anglia City, so there's nothing to hide in the Duke's mansion. After getting the Marquise's permission, Du Wei can only take this unfriendly kid around.
It's just that after Du Wei left with her brother, the Marquise slightly frowned with a hint of worry in her eyes. Glancing at her shy sister, she suddenly smiled: "Angel, what do you think of him?"
A trace of confusion flashed in the girl's eyes before her face turned red and whispered: "Very … Very good."
•
As for Du Wei, after walking around the castle with the kid, they finally arrived at the horse farm behind the castle. His subordinates have already brought out the best horses in the Duke's mansion. The boy didn't even look at them. Seeing that there's no one around, he suddenly coldly said to Du Wei: "Du Wei, you better not have any ideas about my sister!"
"Oh?" Du Wei froze for a moment before smiling. Looking at the boy in front of him, his smile was full of meaning.
Seeing the other party's strange smile, the boy didn't dare to look directly into Du Wei's eyes. Instead, he took a step back. A trace of panic flashed across his face, but it quickly disappeared. Gritting his teeth, he said: "I just want to tell you, don't have any ideas about Angel! She won't marry a noble like you! "
Du Wei nodded. Suddenly, he reached out and placed his hand on the boy's shoulder. His action startled the boy, causing his body to tremble. Du Wei had already approached him and lightly said: "Don't worry, I don't have such thoughts right now. By the way ….. your sister is very good to you. Everything she does is for your own good. If you want her to be happy, we might as well cooperate. However, my temper isn't very good. You'll be staying in the northwest for a while, so it's best if you're polite. Otherwise ….. I don't care if you're the Marquise's younger brother. If you don't listen to me, I'll take off your pants and whip you. Do you understand? "
After saying that, Du Wei laughed. Leaving the boy behind, he turned around and walked away.
What a headache ….. It's easy to invite the devil in, but hard to send him away. This boy is easy to deal with. Isn't he going to become Blue Ocean's disciple? Just throw him to a small town far away from Miracle City and casually throw him to one of Blue Ocean's disciples.
But that Miss Angel ….. She's a delicate girl, he can't just throw her somewhere else.
