Chapter 207 The So-Called "Tradition"
The Academy of Magic finally approved Du Wei's proposal for students to "practice".
The first batch of students to pass the exam and obtain the qualifications to practice were all students of Hogwarts! This result caused the students of the Academy of Magic to drop their glasses and fall to the ground!
They already knew that Du Wei's students received a special education and their combat ability was better than other students. Therefore, in this exam, they were more or less biased towards students from other schools. But the result was still shocking!
Especially at the end of the exam, which was conducted according to the rules of a duel between magi. There were a total of twenty duels, and the students of Hogwarts won all twenty duels! It was amazing!
All of Duwei's students, 32 students, a total of 28 came this time. Only four of them were unlucky enough to be injured during the exam and lost the opportunity to go to the Northwest. It was said that these four fellows regretted it so much that they hid in their rooms and cried bitterly.
As for the 28 people who passed the exam, they packed their bags as fast as they could and couldn't wait to go to the Northwest!
It was just like how people who just learned how to drive would become addicted. These rookies who just grasped the basics of magic couldn't wait to go to the Northwest and do something big … …
•
Du Wei personally led a group of people to the road south of Loulan City to wait for them. Although Du Wei didn't have the financial resources to build a wide and flat road like the one in the Imperial Capital, the roads around Loulan City had been built quite well in the past six months. Caravans from the interior of the Empire were constantly sending blood to this new city.
In the evening, the sky was filled with the glow of the setting sun. Du Wei was sitting on his horse when he heard the sound of horse hooves from afar.
Du Wei was a little surprised.
He didn't think that his group of students would choose not to go out like other magi. Most magi would choose to fly if the distance was short. If it was very far away, he would choose to take a carriage.
But this group of people ….. each of them was riding a horse, and on the main road, they were rushing towards Loulan City in a cavalry formation!
Obviously, in this half a year of separation, these rookies didn't forget Duwei's order. While they were learning magic, they didn't give up on their physical training. At this moment, the long line of rookies on the road was still quite neat. In addition to their own horses, each magician also brought a horse with them. They changed horses along the way.
When the people in the front rushed in front of Du Wei, the group of boys pulled the reins. Then, seeing that Du Wei was in front of them, they cheered loudly.
Most of them were already very tired, even though they were also from the army, even though their formation was already scattered when they finally stopped their horses, even though some of them were so tired that they could not even lift their legs when they dismounted …
But what else could Du Wei ask of them? Don't forget! They were magicians! He was a magician who was famous for his weak body! But now, they could ride horses for hundreds of miles without resting!
"Teacher! We are coming!! "
The 28 boys shouted in unison. Then, very consciously, as if they were in the academy, they forced themselves to line up in front of Du Wei.
Du Wei sighed, got up and jumped off his horse, then carefully looked at the 28 boys in front of him for a while. Du Wei understood that these people had been deeply branded by him. Even if not all of them would become his subordinates in the future, these people were destined to remember him for the rest of their lives!
"Very good!" Du Wei suddenly shouted with all his strength: "I am very satisfied with all of you!"
He turned around and pointed at the servants and carriage behind him: "I thought I would see a bunch of exhausted trash, a bunch of dead dogs panting with their tongues hanging out ….. But all of you, you have surprised me!" Du Wei's voice lowered a little at this point, and his tone was very excited: "Your performance has already exceeded my expectations! You didn't turn into those fat lords, you didn't turn into those lifeless magicians … What I saw was a group of excellent warriors, a group of energetic wolf cubs! I am very satisfied! "
After saying that, Du Wei walked past his students, patting their shoulders and thumping their chests. Then, he laughed loudly: "As a reward for all of you … … I announce, from today onwards, all of you will have two days of leave! For these two days, all exercises and training will be temporarily suspended … … "
As soon as his voice fell, a burst of cheers came from the students!
"Boys," Du Wei laughed loudly: "I said before, we will meet again in the Northwest! Now, all of you are standing outside this city, outside this City of Miracles! For your excellent performance, I will give you the best reward! Now, follow me into the city! In my Duke's Mansion, I have prepared the best wine in the Northwest! The most delicious food and wine are waiting for all of you! Tonight, whoever didn't get drunk would be a f * cking bastard! Those who get drunk will also have the softest bed waiting for all of you! Let those fellows who did not have the chance to come to the Northwest regret it! I guarantee that your experience in the Northwest for the next few days will make those fellows green with envy when they go back! "
Among the crowd, a courageous student immediately laughed loudly: "We do not doubt this, Dean!"
Du Wei also laughed, then he took a deep breath and said loudly: "I permit … … No, not permit! This is an order! I order all of you to party to your heart's content tonight!!! "
•
In the largest banquet hall of the Duke's Mansion, barrels of the best wine were brought out one after another. Under the hard work of several highly paid chefs, the delicacies of the Northwest were also brought out.
By now, Du Wei had already thrown away his Duke status. Dressed in a black magician's robe, it's just that the robe was stained with wine and grease. Despite this, Du Wei was still able to raise his huge cup again and again to drink with the students.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall had reached its peak. There were even some students who had taken off their magic apprentice robes after drinking too much. Like soldiers in the army, they opened their shirts and sang loudly. Some people even took out an accordion out of nowhere and started playing a cheerful tune. Some people even excitedly jumped on the table and started dancing.
Vivian became the focus of everyone's attention. No one knew who was the first to pull Vivian onto the table, followed by the second, then the third. Every student felt that it was their greatest honor to be able to dance with this esteemed female magic caster. Poor little Vivian was already a little dizzy from all the dancing. This kind of cheerful tune had a fast rhythm. When dancing, everyone used their elbows to hook onto each other's arms and then stood in a circle and jumped around. At the beginning, Vivian accidentally drank a small cup of wine, then felt her face burning. Finally, she seemed to have put aside her shyness and reserve, only felt that she was getting more and more excited, and finally danced more cheerfully than anyone else.
Who knew how much soup and gravy were spilled on the expensive handmade carpet, and even the curtains were splashed with wine. The whole banquet hall was filled with the smell of alcohol.
Vivian only felt that she was spinning faster and faster, and finally felt that even if she didn't spin, the surrounding walls were already spinning on their own … This silly girl who had never been drunk thought that this was some kind of magic. She was drunk and wanted to ask Du Wei, but Du Wei had already pulled her down from the table. Looking at the drunk Vivian, Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little amused. He pinched her nose hard, and then laughed and scolded her, "That's enough, I don't want you to become a little drunkard."
Vivian's face was as red as a ripe apple, and her big eyes were hazy. Her gaze was so charming that it seemed as if it could drip water. Her body was limp and weak, and just like that, she curled up in Du Wei's arms like a cat.
Suddenly, she opened her red lips, and there was a faint smell of alcohol in her small mouth. Her face had a silly smile after drinking, and she muttered in a daze, "Du Wei …"
"Hmm?"
"You … You, like me?"
Du Wei couldn't help but stare blankly when he saw this little girl who would usually be shy with a few words suddenly say such a bold sentence. But then he laughed, and the hand that was holding Vivian's waist subconsciously tightened. He said with a mischievous smile, "Are you sure you know the meaning of 'like'?"
Vivian was probably really drunk, and this little girl who usually spoke softly suddenly widened her eyes and said in a wronged voice, "Who said I don't know!"
Who knew if it was because she was drunk, or because she was no longer shy, but at this moment, when Vivian spoke, she was unusually smooth, and there wasn't the slightest bit of stutter.
Without waiting for Du Wei to react, this silly girl suddenly used strength from who knew where and forcefully broke free from Du Wei. She jumped up onto the table, and then snatched a big glass of wine from the hands of a student beside her, and said loudly, "Attention! Attention! I have something to say! "
Her little hand raised the glass high above her head, and her feet were a little shaky, but she forced herself to stand firm. She laughed foolishly a few times, and then waited for everyone to look at her, and then she said loudly, "I, I have something to announce … I … I …"
Little Vivian suddenly took a deep breath, and then used all her strength, and her delicate voice actually covered the entire place at this moment!
"Du Wei!" She pointed her finger at Du Wei's nose … With her height on the table, she was pointing at Du Wei's nose from above — Hmph, this silly girl was going to be arrogant today!
"Du Wei! You listen! "Vivian suddenly raised her head and said loudly," I like you! I want to be your wife! "
The whole place suddenly quieted down! Those drunkards, or those half-drunk boys, all looked at Vivian who was standing on the table with a surprised expression. Everyone was shocked by this usually shy little girl's miraculous bold action today.
Du Wei sat on the chair, and looked at Vivian who could not even stand steadily, and did not know whether to laugh or cry, "Silly girl, are you sure you know what 'wife' means?"
Vivian was suddenly stunned, and a blank look flashed in her eyes. She said with a silly face, "I … don't know."
But then Vivian raised the glass and saluted to all sides, and the wine in the glass was splashed by her, and some even fell on Du Wei's shoulder. Vivian had already raised her neck, and drank the wine in the glass "heroically", and then shouted, "Long live my wife!"
Then, her feat finally came to an end. After drinking the last glass of wine, Vivian's hand loosened and the glass fell to the ground. She fell straight into Duwei's arms. Her eyes were closed, and her face was red. She still had that drunken silly smile on her face.
The students who were stunned for a long time became lively again, and someone took the lead to raise their glass and shouted, "To our respected dean, Duke! And to our respected dean's wife, Master Vivian! "
Immediately, more than 20 people raised their glasses in response, "To the dean and his wife!"
The music started again, and the atmosphere became lively again … …
•
Outside the banquet hall, Mard came in with several servants pushing several dining carts. On the cart was the last dish of the night, a whole roasted lamb.
When Mard came to the entrance of the banquet hall, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure holding on to the banquet hall's closed door, trembling.
Mard took a few steps closer, and saw that the girl was none other than Miss Angel of the Lister Family. Angel was wearing a white nightgown, barefoot, and soft curly hair draped over her body. She looked like she was about to push the door open, but for some reason, her movements froze. Her hand tightly gripped the door handle, and the more she gripped it, the more her body seemed to be drained of strength. If not for her tight grip on the door handle, she would've fallen down.
"Ahem … …" Mard deliberately coughed twice to startle the guest. Angel quickly turned around and saw Mard standing not far behind her. Her beautiful face was abnormally pale, and her eyes were full of water. There were even faint traces of tears on her cheeks. After seeing Mard, Angel's face flashed with a trace of panic. She quickly turned around and whispered, "Ah, Steward Mard … … I … …"
Saying that, she quickly raised her sleeve to wipe her face twice.
"This … … Miss Angel, since you've come down, why don't you go in? I'm sure the young master won't refuse a beautiful guest like you to join them in their happy hour. " Mard narrowed his eyes and smiled, "In fact, the young master originally wanted to invite you to join in the evening, but because he was worried that this group of brats would be too crazy and offend a noble and beautiful lady like you, he dismissed the idea. Since you're already here … … "
Without waiting for Mard to finish, Angel quickly said, "No need … … I, I just couldn't sleep, so I walked around … … I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run around."
Saying that, she quickly turned around as if she was running away, and ran away from the other end of the corridor. But because she was too excited, she staggered a bit when she ran, and a pair of white calves appeared under the white nightgown. Soon, she disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Mard sighed and walked over. Just as he pushed open the corner of the banquet hall door, there was immediately a long lasting cheer from inside:
"Congratulations to the dean! Congratulations to the dean's wife!! "
How could the old and experienced Mard not understand why the beautiful girl ran away, and he secretly sighed.
•
The hangover from partying like this was quickly revealed.
Vivian, this silly girl, because it was her first time drinking, she drank so much without knowing the depth of it, and even acted "arrogantly" for the first time. As a result, she slept until noon the next day and didn't wake up. Looking at her, it wouldn't be surprising if she slept for another day.
But Du Wei was looking forward to Vivian's wonderful performance after she woke up. He believed that she definitely wouldn't forget her "bold" performance last night, right? Just thinking about Vivian waking up and recalling her crazy and panicking appearance, Du Wei couldn't help but want to laugh.
But thinking about it carefully, this silly girl of mine seems to have really grown up. This baby is really so cute that it makes one's heart ache.
That group of crazy brats, they won't be able to sleep tonight. After running around and partying all night, these people are probably still drooling and sleeping soundly.
Well, let's let them enjoy two more days of good time.
But Du Wei didn't have time to rest today.
Because today is Du Wei's fifteenth birthday! His coming of age ceremony!
Last night, Du Wei didn't know the scene outside the banquet hall with Angel. He also drank until his head was dizzy, and it's been a long time since he indulged himself like this. But after waking up, Du Wei still forced himself to be alert, freshened up, and then immediately ran to the room next to his bedroom. Last night, Vivian, who was drunk, slept here, and Du Wei personally carried her up.
There was also an interesting scene that happened. Vivian, who was carried to the bed by Du Wei, actually woke up for a short while, but the silly girl was already confused by the alcohol, and didn't wake up. Instead, she hugged Du Wei's neck and asked Du Wei: "Does my wife mean to accompany you to sleep?"
Even Du Wei didn't know how to answer this bold question.
Fortunately, Vivian's naivety once again solved this embarrassing topic. Because this silly girl has already continued to speak, and she actually used a very serious tone to say to Du Wei: "If I accompany you to sleep … you, you can't snatch the quilt from me …"
After saying that, the girl, who had exhausted all her energy, fell asleep.
Well, probably in this little girl's mind, the so-called wife is really just purely "sleeping".
•
After waking up, Du Wei stayed in Vivian's room for a little while. Looking at Vivian's body curled up into a ball, curled up in the quilt, sleeping sweetly, and looking at her exposed snow-white shoulders, Du Wei couldn't help but sigh …
Last night, he personally took off Vivian's outerwear.
Looking at the girl sleeping on the bed and drooling at the same time, Du Wei suddenly couldn't help but find it funny. Then, he gently extended two fingers, wiped away the saliva at the corner of Vivian's mouth, and said in a low voice: "Little girl … do you know, last night, you little red riding hood, almost got eaten by me, this big bad wolf … hmph hmph."
Indeed, after taking off the little girl's outerwear last night, looking at Vivian's beautiful body under the thin underwear, Du Wei really used a lot of willpower to suppress the desire in his heart. After all, in Du Wei's heart, he had already determined that this cute girl needs to be treated seriously, and love with all his heart! He didn't want to waste the most beautiful moment on this drunken night.
Maybe, the almighty god really is protecting our poor little Vivian.
Before leaving the room, Du Wei suddenly had a mischievous thought in his heart. Taking advantage of Vivian's deep sleep, he bent down, and gently kissed the little girl's lips …
Little girl, I didn't really eat you, but I stole your first kiss while you were asleep, as a small punishment for you … Hehe.
"You're not allowed to drink in the future, or else I'll spank you." Du Wei smiled at the person sleeping on the bed, and then quietly left.
•
The trouble of being a leader was that when others were drunk and could sleep to their heart's content, he had to get up and be busy.
There was no other way, who asked today to be Du Wei's birthday? He was today's main character, how could they do without him? Seeing the obvious fatigue on Du Wei's face, Old Mard could only ask someone to make some refreshing soup. Du Wei made some hangover medicine himself, and drank it together, only then did he feel slightly better.
A few days ago, the custom-made gift was already prepared. With the help of more than ten servants, Du Wei finally neatly put on this luxurious and cumbersome set of clothes. Although he also expressed his disgust with this kind of attire that looked like a male peacock in heat, but … this was tradition! As the Duke of the Empire, his coming of age ceremony was no longer his own matter!
Du Wei could only lower his head.
Just fixing the collar of the clothes took nearly half an hour, the two nimble maids were almost exhausted, and the circular lace collar made Du Wei feel a little tight, to the point that he couldn't breathe. What made Du Wei feel even more depressed was that this set of clothes was too bright and gorgeous … On top of the garish lace pattern, and exaggerated sleeves, as well as the belt and ribbon … Du Wei felt like he was an actor preparing to go on stage to sing.
In the end, Du Wei sternly refused a servant's request to wear a wig. What a joke! Du Wei didn't want to wear that kind of thing! As for the other guy who was going to put powder on Du Wei's face, he was kicked away by Du Wei.
In the aristocratic circle, as a standard aristocrat with status, what they yearned for the most was that kind of pale and sickly face. But Du Wei's complexion, as his body grew stronger day by day, appeared too healthy. Moreover, after staying in the Northwest for more than half a year, his skin, after being exposed to the sun, had a slight wheat color.
According to the standards of the aristocrats, his complexion was not up to standard.
After putting on his boots, Du Wei tried to take two steps, but he was very depressed to find that even when he walked, there were clanking sounds. He simply tore off the cumbersome accessories on his body. In the end, under the strong insistence of the costume experts, Du Wei only kept a family crest on his chest — a golden tulip in a boiling flame.
However, the neatly dressed Du Wei very keenly noticed that the beautiful maids beside him were looking at him in a very different way.
After all, the fifteen-year-old Du Wei had a good bloodline from an aristocratic family. Although his body wasn't strong enough, it was enough to be called tall and straight, and he was much taller than his peers. As the childishness on his face faded, what emerged was a slightly dignified aura. And the excellent bloodline of the Rowling family gave him a handsome face, in addition to an extraordinary temperament …
And although Du Wei himself disliked this outfit, it had to be said that the famous costume expert who had been invited to customize the clothes was quite capable. The tailoring was appropriate, and it fully outlined Du Wei's tall and straight body. With some decorations, it perfectly covered the only flaw of Du Wei's body: it was slightly thin.
And the luxurious attire showed a bit of the grandeur of a noble.
The current Du Wei could be considered a handsome aristocrat youth!
"Young Master, are you ready?"
Mard knocked on the door and came in, then looked at Du Wei with a trace of gratification and praise in his eyes. At this moment, the old Mard suddenly felt a bit emotional, and couldn't help but say, "Young Master … you've finally grown up."
Du Wei smiled, turned around and hugged the old servant who had raised him since he was young, and said with a smile, "Okay, Mard, I have a request for you."
"What?" Mard was stunned.
"In a moment, accompany me to the entrance." Du Wei said softly.
Mard was stunned, and suddenly his eyes turned red. He then shook his head repeatedly, "Young Master, this can't be, I …"
"My parents are not by my side, Mard, you are my only family." Du Wei grabbed the old butler who was about to retreat, and then said in a low voice, "Mard, to be honest, the number of times you have hugged me, is much more than the number of times father has hugged me."
•
According to the traditions of the Roland Continent, every adult nobleman must be accompanied by an elder (usually a parent) when they enter the banquet for their coming of age ceremony. This symbolizes respect and gratitude to the elder.
Today, almost all of Du Wei's subordinates were gathered in the banquet hall of the Duke's mansion. Even the disciples of the Desa Province's governor, Blue Ocean, were all present. Du Wei's first aide, Philip, Cavalry Commander Longbottom, Infantry Commander Robert Knight, Elder Smoke, Thorskei, Seth, George Bush, and Master Alley's two seventh level magicians. (Du Wei has seen these two magicians before, and they were the ones who led the students to the Northwest for their internship. But because they came by carriage, they only arrived at Miracle City this morning.) In addition, several nobles in the capital who have good relations with Du Wei, such as Count Biliaibuer, and the Demonic Beast of Mount Desan, all sent their own messengers with a bit of status and brought generous gifts.
Even the Northwestern Army General Theodore, who has an awkward relationship with Du Wei, personally came and presented Du Wei with a first-class warhorse and a set of high-level armor. What's even more surprising is that even the Nuling Province's governor, Bohan, who almost had a falling out with Du Wei, actually sent someone to congratulate him. But the gift he sent was much more stingy: a letter of congratulations personally written by Governor Bohan.
In addition, the Lister Family's three siblings also came as VIP guests. And everyone, especially those who came from other places, was even more surprised when they heard that the Marquise of Lister personally came. They all rushed to be the first to see the empire's famous beauty. Especially the messengers sent by Count Biliaibuer and the Demonic Beast of Mount Desan. They were already planning how to make friends with the empire's wealthiest widow and see if they can express goodwill on behalf of their master.
When the solemn ceremonial music began to play, the banquet hall's door slowly opened. The one who came in first wasn't Du Wei, but rather the neatly dressed old butler Mard. With an excited and proud expression, he walked in the front, then turned around to grab Du Wei's hand and led Du Wei into the banquet hall.
Under the gaze of all the guests, the two walked to the front. Finally, Du Wei gave Mard a big hug before walking to the front.
According to traditional etiquette, at this moment, there should be a Shrines presiding over the banquet and offering a prayer of thanks to the gods. For example, in the royal family, every prince's coming of age ceremony would be attended by the elders of the Temple. The current Emperor, Augustine the Sixth, was the only heir to the throne when he was young because he was alone. He was certain to be the future Emperor, so his coming of age ceremony was personally presided over by the Pope at that time to show respect to the future Emperor.
However, Du Wei doesn't believe in gods. In any case, the empire's laws don't allow you to worship Shrines, as long as you don't believe in other gods.
Du Wei stood alone on the stage, looking down at the people below. Some of them are his loyal subordinates, some of them are his enemies, and some of them are his allies ….
Du Wei coughed softly and then began to speak.
"I think now everyone must be curious about what I'm going to say." This is Du Wei's opening remarks.
The people below smiled kindly.
"What I want to say the most right now is …." Du Wei suddenly smiled: "What I want to say the most is that this dress makes me feel a little uncomfortable because it's too tight."
The people below continued to laugh kindly.
"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to today's guests for coming here." Du Wei pondered for a moment and then said: "I don't want to say too much nonsense, because for a magician, life is precious and can't be wasted. So …. "
Du Wei took a deep breath, then bowed deeply and laughed loudly: "God bless me!"
"God bless me!!"
The guests present all shouted loudly.
But Du Wei added in his heart: I don't believe in gods.
Just when Du Wei thought the ceremony was over, suddenly the band next to him played a melodious and cheerful song. Then, as if they had already expected this, the people below consciously scattered in all directions, leaving a circle of empty space in the middle of the banquet hall.
And very subtly …. all the men consciously stepped back, leaving all the women present in the front!
"Young master, let's begin." Mard saw that Du Wei was a little dazed and couldn't help but whisper to remind him.
Du Wei was a little confused: "What?"
Mard didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The traditional ceremony!"
"Traditional … ceremony?" The confusion on Du Wei's face was not fake.
Mard was also stunned. He never thought that his young master, who seemed to know everything, actually didn't seem to know anything about this kind of traditional ceremony!
He hurried to Du Wei's side and said in a low voice: "Traditional ceremony … Young master! You have to invite a lady in front of everyone and then have the first dance with her tonight! Also, remember, you can only choose a single lady! This means that you are already an adult and can pursue beautiful love! Also, if the lady you invite to dance with you and agrees to your invitation, then after the dance, she can make a request of you, and you have to agree to it! Many romantic love stories begin with the first dance of the coming of age ceremony! "
Looking at Du Wei's blank eyes, Mard bitterly smiled: "You don't really know, do you?"
Du Wei only felt his scalp tingle. Gritting his teeth, he whispered: "I really don't fucking know! Damn it, who made this rule! "
"The founding emperor, His Majesty Aragon." After Mard finished, he hurriedly took a step back and urged: "Young master, hurry up, there are so many guests, you can't be rude!"
Du Wei suddenly felt a little nervous.
Below the scene, among the single ladies, there is no doubt that the most eye-catching ones are the Lister sisters! This was especially true for Angel. She was dressed to the nines tonight, and it was clear that she had put in a lot of effort into dressing up. Her entire person was like a blossoming flower, and there was a trace of shyness and anticipation on her delicate face. However, she bravely puffed out her chest and stood at the very front, her eyes filled with anticipation.
However, Du Wei knows that he absolutely can't ask this Angel to dance!
Although Mard's explanation was very simple, Du Wei already understood the meaning behind it! The first dance was usually an invitation from the male lead to the single woman that he admired the most!
Damn it …. Du Wei suddenly felt that leaving Vivian, this little drunk cat to sleep in the room was his biggest mistake tonight! If I knew earlier, I would've let Vivian come!
Angel's eyes have already stared at Du Wei without hiding. The girl's shoulders couldn't help but tremble because of excitement and expectation.
Finally, Du Wei took a deep breath, secretly made up his mind, and slowly walked over.
He's coming!?
Angel suddenly felt all the blood in her body rushing to the top of her head. Her chest felt like there was a little deer bumping around. Seeing Du Wei coming closer and closer to her, his face seemed to have a trace of a smile. Angel was so happy that she almost fainted.
Although she heard it at the entrance of the banquet hall last night …. But, Angel is still very confident in her beauty! Until the last moment, she won't easily give up!
Du Wei was almost in front of Angel. Angel was almost ready to open her mouth and accept the other party's invitation. But who would have thought that when there were only two steps left, Duwei's path would suddenly deviate … …
"Respected lady, can I invite you to accompany me for the first dance tonight?" Du Wei faced the beautiful woman in front of him, elegantly bowed, and then stretched out a hand.
Marquise Lister was stunned. She looked at the youth in front of her, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw her sister's ashen expression. But the Marquise, who is used to experiencing storms and waves, returned to normal in an instant. No one even noticed her shock just now.
Tonight, the Marquise was wearing a silver noble lady's robe. Her shoulders were bare, and her skin was as beautiful as ivory. Her long neck accentuated her elegant temperament, and her delicate face was comparable to a young girl in her twenties.
Her face was blooming with an elegant smile, and the bystanders couldn't see any clues. A soft little hand was placed on Duwei's palm, and then the body lightly walked towards Duwei to the center of the field.
Du Wei's hand gently placed on the Marquise's waist, and the two began to dance ….
Watching Du Wei walk in with her sister's waist, Angel felt that her heart was about to split open! From childhood to adulthood, who knows how many people praised her beauty, and who knows how many young men were intoxicated by her beauty. Although she looked weak on the outside, she had a noble and pure heart. In terms of feelings, she looked down on those nobles who talked too much.
But it's this person! Even before seeing him with her own eyes, Angel felt that she was already intoxicated by his legend. At home, she kept telling Dadaneier the story of the Frozen Forest over and over again, just to imagine this legendary young man's expression. She kept asking about the Imperial Capital's Summer Festival over and over again, just to look forward to the legend of this young genius who rose like a comet!
And after seeing him with her own eyes, Angel was convinced that her heart had finally found the shadow of her love!
But now ….. she felt that her pride had been completely torn apart. Her soul seemed to have floated out of her body, and she looked down at her own body, at the young man who was holding her sister and dancing …..
Is he really not moved by me at all?!
"Duke." With the music, the Marquise's body was as soft as a fairy, but she used a low voice to sigh in Du Wei's ear, "If you do this, someone will be very sad."
Du Wei had a faint smile on his face as he whispered in the Marquise's ear, "It's better to have a short pain than a long pain!"
At this moment, looking at the calm eyes of the Duke in front of her, and then looking at her sister who was in a daze, the Marquise sighed in her heart. She understood that her sister had no chance of capturing this young Duke's heart ….. To capture his heart, she would have to think of other ways …..
(I'm also very puzzled ….. I said I would only write eight thousand words, but as I wrote, I actually wrote eleven thousand words ….. I really admire myself ….. But, in the future, please don't use this standard to ask of me. Hehe, it was purely an accident.
I said eight thousand words, but in the end, it was eleven thousand. I'm asking for votes ~ ~ ~)
