Chapter 166: Social Activities
Administrative district of the city of Askatra, the residence of the nobility.
In a lavish manor, the music of the Faeron tradition reverberates in the banquet hall of the main building of the manor, played by bards.
In the banquet hall, the male aristocrats of Amm wore gorgeous silk gowns on the top, legging tight-fitting bubble pants on the bottom, and round hats with feathers on their heads, showing off what they considered to be the most personable and fashionable side.
This time, there were not many female aristocrats who attended, and the hall was full of older or younger men, and occasionally a few ladies were like kittens, which were very inconspicuous.
It's not that the owner of the ball didn't send invitations to the women, but that the women knew that the ball had invited a figure, and with her present, they wouldn't be the focus of attention, but could only be used as a foil and background, which was the most difficult dilemma for aristocratic women.
There are only three or two loyal fans of that character, in order to get close to the idol, say a few words, and come in spite of embarrassment.
That character is the actress who shocked Am, with her superb acting skills and masterful performances, she conquered the big stars of Am's high society, the dream lover of every Amm man's age, the pillar of the Bredero Troupe, the actor of Rose, and Miss Monroe, who is young and beautiful and has an extraordinary temperament.
At this moment, Miss Monroe is surrounded by men, smiling smartly, with beautiful eyes, smiling and smiling, and her every move is infinitely charming, fascinating many male guests.
She is very educated, her words are good, she is empathetic, every word and an expression hits the hearts of men, stirring their emotions, and one person drives the atmosphere of the whole ball, so that every man around her will not feel left out, and think that he is the person she really cares about.
"Miss Monroe, please marry me!"
A young nobleman couldn't hold back the desire in his heart, knelt down on one knee, took out the diamond ring, and proposed on the spot.
This young nobleman came from a first-class family, and he was very capable in his own right, and he personally led the fleet between Kalinshan and Sword Bay, and made huge profits for the family through sea trade, and was already scheduled to be the heir of the family of Sir Motos.
Ham Motos, who is also known as Am's diamond king, is known as the man Amm women most want to marry.
Needless to say, he was a handsome and strong handsome young man, a reserve member of the Knights of the Most Ardent Heart, kind-hearted, upright, gentle and considerate, and extremely gentlemanly to women.
The woman he fell in love with must have been very favored by the goddesses Tymorrah and Chenny, so that she was so lucky to reap the perfect love.
"Oh, what a great way you have lifted me, what a flattering man, noble sir."
Monroe first made a surprised expression and said happily.
Hearing her say this, the other men around her were all dead to ashes, and sadness was written on their faces.
is obviously a talented man with a beautiful woman, looking at their expressions, it is like seeing a wild boar arch a good cabbage as unwilling and disdainful.
"However, I am still young, and I have my own dreams and pursuits."
Monroe said regretfully: "My future belongs to the stage, and I can't marry until I perform the most satisfying drama that has become a timeless classic of Feren." ”
This time, the men were overjoyed, while Ham Motos was grieving.
Although she rejected the marriage proposal, Monroe also took great care of this sad man, she personally helped him up, and said softly: "Please don't be sad because of my willfulness, you are an excellent man, I will carefully consider whether to accept your love, time will change everything, it will also change my mind, one day in the future, maybe I will really enter the marriage temple with you." ”
Ham's eyes rekindled with passion, and he was full of fighting spirit and decided to become Miss Monroe's guardian knight, even if he couldn't kiss Fangze, he would become soul mates in the spirit world and have a platonic love.
Of course, there is no such thing as "platonic love", and Ham's intention is to continue unrequited love, and this kind of knightly allegiance to beautiful women was not uncommon among the young people of the medieval gentry.
Just like in the story of "The Three Musketeers", the protagonist d'Artagnan's feelings for Bonasser, love at first sight, even if there is no skin kiss, he is willing to go to the soup for her.
Monroe, the shapeshifter, relied on her natural ability to read minds and her acting skills to toy with this group of rich men in prominent positions, and Ham was not the first silly boy to fall under her pomegranate skirt, nor would he be the last.
In fact, Ham's father, an important figure in Parliament, and a magnate in Amm's aristocratic circle, Sir Motos Sr. had quietly proposed to Monroe before.
At that time, Monroe was surprised and asked, "You have a wife and a son, do you want me to be your disgraceful mistress?" ”
The old knight, carried away by love, resolutely promised: "How dare I humiliate you so much? You are my true love, if you agree to propose, I will divorce my wife immediately, and if you are worried that your heirs will not get the right to inherit, I will immediately deprive my son of the inheritance, expel him from Am, and never let him come back! ”
Ham didn't know that his father's preference for women was exactly the same as his, and he didn't know that as long as the woman in front of him nodded, he would take his poor mother out of Am and be exiled to a foreign land.
If this young man had a protagonist template with him, he might be able to create a business in a foreign land, and then come back strongly, staging an ethical drama of revenge for an outcast, and reclaiming everything he had lost from his evil father along with his stepmother.
"Let's dance."
In order to eliminate the embarrassment of being proposed in public, Miss Monroe proposed loudly: "Everyone is tired of traditional ballroom dancing, why don't we try the civilian dance of the inferior warehouse in "Titanic"?" ”
"Great!"
"It must be very interesting and fresh, worthy of Miss Monroe, what a wonderful idea!"
The bards played cheerful music, Monroe lifted her skirts, tapped her feet, laughed and danced, surrounded by a group of aristocratic men writhing awkwardly.
For a moment, the banquet hall was plunged into a sea of joy, and the smell of hormones wafted in the air for a long time.
At the same time, in another mansion salon in the aristocratic mansion area, female aristocrats also gathered together and had a cordial exchange with a young girl with an extraordinary temperament.
"Chrysia, you are like my daughter."
A noble lady pulled the cramped girl into her arms and doted on her cheeks: "It would be nice if I had a daughter like you, I always feel very happy with you, and I want to hold you and be close to you." ”
For some reason, when the nobleman made intimate gestures with Miss Clichia, she always had a strange sense of excitement, as if she was flirting with a young and handsome beautiful man.
"Yes, yes, Clythia is so cute, I feel sorry for it."
"Little sister Clysia, do you want your sister to teach you something fun?"
"Don't teach bad little girls, you wicked lace edge! Come to my sister, sister will protect you. ”
……
Clythia hung her head shyly, like a big doll, she was hugged and kissed by the noble women, and even a noble lady pulled her to the boudoir, saying that she wanted to play a game with her, as for what she was playing, the young lady's expression was very ambiguous, and she refused to say no matter how she asked.
The poor women's clothing boss is not very reluctant to have intimate contact with women, but she is afraid that if she is exposed, her male identity will be exposed, and it will become a big scandal.
In fact, Klein's worries were unnecessary, even if these aristocratic women really found out that he was actually a man, they would not leak the secret, but would play with him more happily.
The Braidro troupe began to stretch out its tentacles, using beauty to infiltrate the upper echelons of Am, subtly increasing its influence, and only by encircling those in power can they rest easy in Am.
