After being dressed up, the overall charm value of Morpheus has once again increased significantly, from the sloppy and untrimmed edge of a senior house aristocrat to a handsome teenager who may be the best in Constantinople in the future.
Inherited the bloodline of Acar, the father of the Empire's "first iron man" title, Morpheus has such outstanding appearance.
What's even more rare is that he has never had a coquettish breath, and the two words of pampering and flying are insulated from him, and these two points have made him very different from the aristocratic circle he is about to contact.
When the simple and neat old Duke approached the carriage with Morpheus, this pair of fathers and sons who were alone for the first time did not appear to be excessively embarrassed. On the contrary, the smiling Morpheus and the smiling old Duke Together, it seems to be a model father and son with a harmonious relationship.
This relationship is rare in the upper class.
The dinner was not held in the Noble district where the nobles gathered, but was located in Constantinople, the most artistic atmosphere in Bodiliang District, here is the Colosseum established 217 years ago, there are 30 The huge opera house built seven years ago, and the extravagant open-air hotel with a spacious atmosphere. Aztec gold coins may be rare in the Bol district, but it needs to be filled with red satin bags, a social pyramid The structure is undoubtedly reflected here. When a group of empire frontline nobles gather, only the value of the jewelry carried on the body can make ordinary people speechless.
The carriage of the Windsor family is driving in the dark. It is still a guard of twelve people. It is not publicized on the streets, but it is not low-key. There are not many topics about father and son in the carriage, but the atmosphere is still harmonious.
"As an heir to the nobility, perhaps for most ordinary people, all he has to do is honestly follow the will of his parents, but I hope you can go your own way, Windsor If the family goes on like this, the demise is only a matter of time."
The old Duke sits opposite the Morpheus. The wide carriage allows the two to maintain a distance of less than two meters. The Duke in a black robe is quiet when speaking. The lights in the carriage are driven by the magic array, not Simple, a crystal nucleus that is more expensive than the equivalent volume of gold slowly rotates in the position of the carriage ceiling, exuding a soft light, the position of the light source is very delicate, and the Morpheus that looked up looked a bit cold, and slightly lowered his head Lord Duke looked silent.
After entering Bodiliang District, the surrounding area is no longer the quiet and calm of Nobel District, but there is a different kind of hustle and bustle, not impetuous, but hooking people. There is no extra vocal noise in Morpheus's ears. Occasionally came the sound of classical musical instruments, melodious and a bit intoxicating, or the jumping firelight was reflected on the curtains of the car. That was some unprecedented performance. Enticed people who are curious and want to take a look.
This is Bodiliang District, a city full of temptations at all times, and a place where large nobles often socialize-natural socialization or "shooting" depends on the identity of these nobles, young men and women It’s natural for me to go to luxury hotels for fun. The older generation of nobles opened their eyes and closed their eyes. But obviously, these people in the core circle will not be so casual. The marriage of nobles is ancient. The constant topic has always been a headache for nobles who have lost their autonomy in marriage.
Loss of virginity before marriage is not something that the daughters of the nobles who are not married will do. Marriage is a bet, and it is their own future. Before the real marriage, the girls will still be very reserved.
So when the carriage drove into the venue for today’s dinner, there were many soft conversations unique to the young girl around, before getting off the car, the old prince gently said: "I will not interfere with you Decide, but remember to be alert."
"I understand."
Morpheus nodded, followed his father and got out of the car.
This is his first foray into the so-called upper-class aristocratic circle. He looked up, and a magnificent magical light had translucent the magnificent architectural photos in front of him. Tall carriages were everywhere, and the coat of arms was looming. Morpheus Counted, Constantinople Almost noble high-ranking nobles gathered together.
The Frank family, known as the first think tank in the empire, and the Nidoran family whose head of finance is the Minister of Finance, and the Karen family, which is in charge of nearly half of the empire’s metal ore veins, made Morpheus eye-opening.
The so-called aristocrats, the most important thing is a seamless mask. Hypocrisy and hypocrisy no longer need to be mentioned. When Morpheus followed his father to this building that is not a tall frame, the expressions expressed by men and women around him There are only four words to describe-dripping water.
From the seemingly smaller heir to the Karen family, Rubick Karen, who looks smaller than Morpheus, to a lady with a gorgeous robe, or a low-key and restrained housekeeper, the atmosphere is on the face. It is as if the group of devout believers were discussing the doctrine in the Old Testament when the Lord was preaching.
"Let me guess who this is..." A guy who looks in his fifties but looks much older than the Acar Duke of the same age stretches his hand to twist his beard, squinting and looking at it slightly, then Laughed: "Will it be the focus of our dinner today, the young heir of the purple iris?"
It looks pretty friendly.
Of course, the crisis is often without warning. Morpheus trusts the other party immediately without saying a good word. He nods instinctively with a smile, and greets the Byzantine empire minister who holds the weight of national education. , The topic is not broad, but it is easy to talk together-an elderly noble will always create some topics that resonate, whether you are a 10-year-old child or a rookie who has just entered the political arena at the age of 30 or seventy-eight Old monster, this can't help but an old guy who can stand firmly in the imperial political situation for thirty or forty years.
The dinner has not yet begun, it is just a prelude for everyone to provide communication. After entering here, the Duke of Acar left Morpheus and entered the second floor to discuss things with several politicians. Standing in the spacious hall on the first floor, Morpheus Still walking naturally to a geographical location similar to his usual sitting in the Tarens School church, looking around slightly.
This is not a huge hall. There are about thirty or forty people in the venue. The banquet is divided into several steps. The main meal needs to be performed on a huge long table, but I have eaten this meal in a rigid way. After that, you can seem to find a chat partner. At the same time, the invited band will also play some soothing dance music here, allowing interested men and women to dance a romantic "Frank".
Several centuries-old oil paintings hang on the walls. The porch stone carvings are exquisite and unusual. There is no sense of roughness. What is more amazing is that there are clear spring-like streams on both sides of the house. Flowing, occasionally you can see one or two small fish, inadvertently always revealing a comfortable and lazy breath.
Is this the tone of the life of the upper nobility?
Morpheus felt a strong slackness here, and his posture was very military, which may be the reason why the minister was willing to take the initiative to talk, although the children of the upper nobility were impeccable in their manners, but inadvertently The breath revealed by the time can not be covered. For example, at this moment, not far away from Morpheus, he is saying hello to his nobles with his mother. Although he is about the same age as Morpheus, his aggressive eyes and breath are uncovered. By comparison, he is alone. The Morpheus is indifferent in the corner like a crowd.
Because the Duke Acar had gone upstairs before, this lonely young man attracted many people's speculation and attention.
However, high-level banquets like today seem to be rarely held in the past, perhaps only once or twice a year, and during this time, new families may merge or old families may leave this circle. Unfamiliar faces are naturally not unusual. The nobles who entered the venue later did not know that the Duke Windsor, who had been absent in the past, arrived at the banquet today, and this handsome but not powerful boy is the last heir of the ancient family~IndoMTL.com ~The nobles in the venue gradually increased. Morpheus observed with interest that swords are not allowed in formal dinner parties, but Morpheus did not forget to hide the dagger on his body. At this moment, he is free from the periphery of the circle. Lengyan watched the people in the circle.
There are about seven or eight younger generations, and five of them are similar to Morpheus. It can be seen that the stage of the banquet is mainly for the new family, three men and two women, but in Morpheus, there is nothing too much Threatening.
Ba Hu, Zhang Yang, what this kind of nobleman should learn to overcome seems that the young people did not learn to restrain, and they can see that they are working hard, but they are always frivolous between the eyebrows and see Morpheus, one of them As he walked over, he asked with an elegant smile: "New customer? This is Mora, Mora Castellanchi."
In a simple greeting, it was okay to get hold of it, Morpheus responded with a smile, his body was slightly correct to show courtesy, and there was no arrogance: "Morpheus."
He didn’t casually say his surname. There is a rule among the nobles. If he is the youngest member of the family, the surname will not be mentioned in ordinary conversations but can only be introduced by the elders. Mora, who is taller than Morpheus, nodded. , Expressing his understanding that, after leaving, he did not intend to win him into the circle of his peers.
There is no disappointment about Morpheus. Looking up at the two beautifully dressed girls, her heart is calm. According to the aesthetics of normal people, the daughters of these two earl lords are all in good shape, and one of them is more excellent in development. A tight dress always has a tendency to crack, but the eyes are frivolous and critical. The look inadvertently made Morpheus a little disgusted.
Sure enough, it's a big brain.
Tang Jidi's words used to lament the village women seem to be very effective here.
