If you want to gain a foothold in high society, the most important thing is reputation.

A very good reputation is the passport to high society.

Therefore, whether the nobles are kind and benevolent or vicious at heart, they are very concerned about superficial things, just like the Baron of Tyre, who does not hesitate to spend more than half a year's budget to gain a 'face' for a moon celebration, so the attendees of a banquet like the Marquis de Vauban are even more cautious.

After all, in addition to the Marquis Vauban himself, there are also big people from other counties in the four northern counties, and if he or she makes a fool of himself, then his or her reputation will inevitably spread throughout the entire four northern counties in the shortest possible time, becoming the talk and laughing stock of people after dinner.

So, at this time, the young lady of Baron Tyre's family was already able to anticipate what kind of treatment she would be subjected to.

Ridicule, ridicule, and caustic comments!

Moreover, not only herself, but even her father, will be condemned in this way.

I thought of my father's face of these criticisms.

This young lady of the baron's family hates it so much that she dies now.

Because, she knows very well how much life will be worse than death in the face of these fathers.

The body was still leaning forward uncontrollably, and the despair in the heart became more and more intense—it was clear that if she fell here, the young lady of the baron's family would do something unexpected, but reasonable.

Undoubtedly, at this age of the Baron's young lady, she had not yet understood the preciousness of life.

And just as she was about to make a decision, her leaning forward body suddenly stopped—

Not. Own stops.

Rather, it is a powerful palm. Wrapped around her forearm.

Dee, Dean?!

The young lady of the Baron's house was astonished. looked at Dean who appeared in front of him at some point, holding his arm, and then, before the young lady of the baron's family came back to his senses, Dean's palm had already descended, holding the palm of the young lady of the baron's family, and bent down and saluted: "Miss Lily." Will I have the pleasure of dancing with you for the first time? ”

The voice was clear, and the guests in the surrounding inner court could hear it clearly.

It even more muffled Dean's very low voice-

"Reject me!"

Dean's voice was only audible to the young lady of Baron Tyre's house.

And the Baron's Miss, who was originally full of gratitude and even had a hint of inexplicable affection, was ready to open her mouth to agree to Dean's request, but Dean's words after that made the Baron of Tyre Lady stunned.

"Hurry up!"

Dean urged.

Several oppressive eyes in the inner court had reappeared, and it was clear that he had no chance to remind the young lady of the baron's family in front of him again.

After all, that kind of gaze that makes Dean feel oppressive is not only brought by power and status, but also strength.

Luckily. The young lady of the Baron's house did as he was told—

"I'm a little tired and just want to take a break!"

The young lady of the baron's house had a straight face. Said coldly.

"That, that, what a pity......"

With a look of helplessness after being rejected, Dean shrugged his shoulders and once again stood behind the Baron's young lady without a trace.

From beginning to end, Dean looked like a young man who admired and couldn't wait, and then was rejected—no different from the young man at a banquet who was just beginning to fall in love.

For this reason, some men in the inner court who had such an experience cast sympathetic glances at Dean, and many men who were deeply touched even raised their glasses to Dean from afar to signal not to be discouraged.

The young lady of Baron Tyre's family attracted more attention.

It is an immutable truth that at aristocratic banquets, young girls and ladies with competitors will always be 'surrounded by butterflies' - just as a male antelope would fight a duel for a female antelope.

In aristocratic circles, the same is roughly the case.

However, the young lady of the baron's family, who had just experienced a 'rejection' from Dean, did not have such a mood, and even a perfunctory mood existed, after entering the inner court, she directly and neatly rejected no less than five men who thought they were far better than Dean with a cold face, which made those gentlemen quiet for a while.

However, the eyes that looked at this young lady of the baron's family became hotter and hotter.

What you can't get, it's always the best.

This also seems to be a truth.

At this time, Dean was already in the corner of the banquet - the most inconspicuous corner, holding two pieces of pastry at random to fill his stomach.

In Dean's opinion, the banquet in front of him is far less important than filling his stomach.

"The feast hasn't started yet, Dean. Captain Ken is a little anxious! ”

A voice came from Dean's side.

"No one will notice a little man like me—you say, right, Lord Marquis?"

Dean, who had already heard the footsteps, said without raising his head.

In this inner court, the only one who can be called a marquis is naturally the owner here, the Marquis de Vaubana.

"Clever young man!"

The Marquis de Vauban said.

In fact, after the young lady of the Baron de Tyre's family was about to fall, Dean suddenly appeared, and broke the siege without a trace, the eyes of the Marquis of Vauban and several people of interest have been on Dean - it is obvious that for the Marquis of Vauban and those people of care, Dean is far more attractive than the young lady of the Baron's family.

At least, it's noteworthy.

And for the young man who can pay attention, the Marquis de Vauban never skimps on his praise.

"You're also very wise - at least, I can't think of a way to 'whip' my lords in this way!"

Dean ate the pastry with vague words, unable to tell whether it was flattery or sarcasm.

In fact, when Dean's court was now full of guests, he had already guessed what the Marquis de Vauban wanted to do—nothing more than to beat his lords at a private auction.

Let them be in plain sight first. Nervous. It's better to be a little embarrassed. Then, he stepped forward to solve the tension and even humiliating things of these subordinate lords.

Then, it is necessary to gain more loyalty and praise from the lords.

This kind of thing was not new to Dean - he had not experienced it, but he had seen it many times.

After all, behind the Grand Duchess. I don't know how many times Dean has attended banquets.

And almost, one out of three or four times, there will be such a bridge.

Of course, at that time, the Grand Duchess and he were both the ones who gave pressure.

Therefore, Dean was not at all surprised that the Marquis de Vauban would use such a method.

Even, it was because of the other party's use of such means that Dean would choose to help the young lady of the Baron's family - although he was in the same camp, Dean could not really make the young lady of the Baron's family embarrassed.

But. The presence of the Marquis de Vauban was also the real reason why Dean chose to make a move.

After all. As a chief of guard, it would be too difficult to get close to the Marquis de Vauban unless the other party took the initiative to find him.

Luckily, Dean, who knows each other's personalities, knows what to do.

Just like at this moment-

"Young man, you're smarter than I thought!"

When the Marquis de Vauban heard Dean's words, he glanced at Dean in surprise, and it was obvious that he did not expect Dean to be able to see through his intentions.

Although such a method is easy to understand in the eyes of the various lords.

But for a young person, it is definitely not something that can be understood by looking at it.

Unless, someone told him, or he went through too much ......

The first possibility, the Marquis Vauban very lightly, was ruled out.

After all, he didn't believe that his arrangements today would be leaked to Dean, because only a few people knew about the arrangements for this banquet, and the loyalty of those people had been verified countless times.

Well, that's the second one!

Thinking of the second possibility, the Marquis de Vauban couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him—a straight body, even standing there, eating pastries with his head down, reminded of the javelin; can be regarded as a handsome appearance, but it is more of a cold feeling, which makes the face that should be immature look very mature, making people unconsciously ignore his original age.

If it weren't for the fluff on the side of the mouth, no one would think that this was a young man.

On the contrary, it should be a knight who has been in a lot of battles.

Especially those eyes, which are really memorable, seem indifferent, but they are not angry and arrogant, and anyone who looks at them will feel layers of pressure.

The Marquis de Vauban was all too familiar with such eyes.

Those lords on the ruling side, generals with thousands of troops, have such eyes.

And the young man in front of him is definitely not these storage zài.

It could only be the cultivation of the family, and then in connection with the news he got about the strength of this young man, the Marquis of Vauban confirmed his guess.

"Dean. Willing...... Ken, it's your mother's side of the last name, but what about your father's side? ”

The Marquis de Vabort asked with interest.

"Until the glory of the ancestors is restored, I will not say or inherit that surname!"

Dean, who had been prepared, said.

"Sure enough!"

And hearing Dean's words, the Marquis Vauban showed a really like this - after all, after a family like Dean, who fought hard to make the family rise again, the Marquis of Vauban had seen too much in his life; Some of them succeeded, while others lived their lives in obscurity.

But no matter what, they're trying.

And for such a striver, the Marquis Vauban has no ill feelings.

"If you need anything, you can come to me! Or, when it's time for your 'knightly baptism', we can have a good chat, after all, 'knightly baptism' is very important, especially for young people like you! ”

Leaving such a sentence, the Marquis of Vauban walked to the center of the inner court, and Dean looked at the other party silently - Dean certainly would not be naïve to take this as an unbreakable promise, although the Marquis of Vauban said such words, but such words were limited to simple and convenient help.

As for out?

That's definitely going to come at an equal cost.

The reality of the aristocracy is far beyond that of ordinary people.

But what's the important point?

Dean at least achieved his original purpose - to get acquainted with the Marquis de Vauban .

And that's one of the biggest purposes of Dean's trip.

After all, it was only after getting acquainted with the Marquis de Vauban that he had the opportunity to meet his teacher, the Archduchess; There is also a chance to reverse that rout of the war.

And the 'knightly baptism'?

Dean naturally had his own arrangements, but it was definitely not done in the hall of this banquet, he needed to go to the places he knew best.

Ding, ding......

The old man, who looked like a butler, banged on his cup.

"The most loyal servant of the Emerald Kingdom, the most respected lord of Vauban County......"

In the midst of the lengthy opening remarks, the banquet began.

But Dean, who was standing in the corner, had already flown his mind elsewhere.

You know, he didn't come to Vauban to participate in this private auction.

Luckily, though, the private auction will be tomorrow, and tonight will just start with a simple banquet and won't last long.
