She Is Not a Witch Chapter 110: Dinner in the castle
A small town in the southern border of the empire.
Because she was about to leave, Lorrain Hill went to the market in the city to buy some things to use on the road. When she came back, Miss Charlene approached her.
"Messia, today I received an invitation to invite you." She handed over a piece of dark red thick paper, in which the invitation was written in black art style, and it was covered with Mo Ruo. The fire mark of the family looks very beautiful.
"Tonight, Viscount Moruo will hold a banquet in the castle, and at the same time invite a lot of people. In addition to you, there are a few masters in the city. It is said that there will be a few officers also going to the banquet."
"I'm not quite sure about Viscount Moruo's thoughts, why are so many unfamiliar people invited to a banquet at this time."
Lorrain Hill took the invitation and opened it to look at it.
[To celebrate this year’s harvest and safety in the territory, a dinner party will be held in the castle on the evening of November 24th,
Sincerely invite the heroic adventurer, Miss Messia, to the banquet held by me.
....
]
It seems that it was just celebrating a good harvest in accordance with past practices, but now is an extraordinary period. With so much happening in the territory recently, it is difficult to imagine the true purpose of Viscount Moruo's banquet.
Lorrain Hill hesitated a little, but nodded anyway.
"Well, I know, I will go there." With her strength, she is not afraid of any accidents. Nowadays, in the empire, except for witches or some special existence, few people can pose a threat to her.
Instead of leaving like this, it's better to just look at what the viscount is paying attention to. In addition, she also wants to get in touch with the new army of the empire.
After the war with Crancia, based on the experience and improvements summarized in the war, the imperial royal family reorganized the army. Among them, all the previous designations of the 54th Army were cancelled, and then the 54th Army to the 75th Army was newly established. 22 legions.
These regiments are different from the past. They began to be equipped with muskets and cannons. Instead of using full-covered armor, they replaced it with light armor that focused on protection. In this way, the load is smaller, the action is flexible, and the cost can also be reduced.
In addition, among these 22 regiments, the 56th, 71st, and 75th regiments are quite special. All of them are composed of elites. Among them, the soldiers have the lowest rank of 2, which is the core force of the imperial royal family today. The commanders of these three legions are also rare Sequence 7 existences, and they are called the "Three Sharp Swords" of the empire. This is to replace the prestigious "Three Marshals" of the old aristocracy in the past.
(These data, don’t need to remember, they will be explained later.)
To further highlight the reputation of these three legions, the royal family has begun to consider giving new titles instead of simple numbers.
The red sergeants that Lorrain Hill saw on the square the day before yesterday were from the 71st Army. Although it was only one of the squads, they still showed considerable strength.
Let's take a look, she was also curious about what Viscount Mo Ruo had lost, and why the military would send an elite team to this small town.
"Is Messia going?" Miss Charlene looked at the girl in a little surprise. At first she thought the girl was not interested in such a banquet. After all, Messia's performance has always been indifferent, unlike the kind of appearance that changes her mind for the sake of the outside world.
"I will be curious, if I don't go and see, I always feel that I will miss something." The girl smiled and blinked.
It's like encountering a branch line in a game. Although the surface has nothing to do with the main line, who knows what will be gained.
"Okay, do you need me to prepare a dress for you, so that you can wear it beautifully when you fall down." At this time, Miss Charlene had another interest.
"Ah this, no need. Thank you Miss Charlene for your kindness." Little Lorraine waved her hand quickly, Charlene's words reminded her of many bad memories.
I remember that it was like this before. They said they were looking for suitable clothes for themselves, but they would like to try everything like changing clothes for a doll, and then sit in the locker room for a long time.
She has eaten this loss many times.
"Okay." Miss Charlene said regretfully, but she added another sentence at the end. "If you need it, you can come to me."
"Hmm, I know." Lorrain nodded.
After returning to the room, Lorrain found that Lottie was not in the room. Although it was a bit strange, he didn't think much about it, and began to search for suitable clothes.
Speaking of, she has a lot of clothes. Some of them are made in the forest, which is simple and forest style. Some are gorgeous dresses made by the Chamber of Commerce during the Hopland era. Some are from college and roommates. I bought it together, in the style of a young girl, some oriental-style dresses bought during the gorse dynasty, and among them are the gorse maiden costumes awarded by the royal family. This dress is simply luxurious, and the basic material is precious soft moon white , Embroidered with extraordinary gold thread, engraved with several flawless patterns for protection and enhancement.
Looking at these dazzling arrays of clothes, Lorrain hesitated for a while, then took out a red and black dress. This dress was bought in the shop of Servizi, the jewel witch when he first arrived in Emenas. The style is very much in line with the Crimson Empire.
Comb the golden hair, tie it into a circling braid behind the head, and then hang the part on the ear side, so that the hairstyle reveals the girl’s feminine shoulders and neck, and at the same time put on this red and black off-shoulder ceremony The skirt, the skirt and the cuffs are dotted with intricate lace, and there are black rose silk flowers on the skirt, which looks like a dark gothic style, but the bright red in it dilutes the cold and dark atmosphere, bringing a kind of publicity And full of charm.
It feels very different from my own temperament in the past.
Looking at the girl in the mirror, Lorrain Hill felt as if she had seen another herself, a sense of flawlessness and enchantment coexisting.
Sure enough, it's still too ostentatious, let's change to a more common one. She thought, ready to look for it again.
"I'm back." The door opened, Lottie opened the door happily, and then was shocked by Lorraine Hill inside.
"Is this... Sister Messia?" She hesitated.
Lorraine Hill's dress today is so far from the image of a swordsman girl before, which makes her a little unbelievable.
"It should be." Lorrainhill pressed his finger lightly, and replied thoughtfully.
"What is it supposed to be, sister Messia, you lied to me so hard." After getting acquainted with Lorraine Hill these years, Lottie also coquettishly.
She walked up to the girl's side in small steps, looked carefully, and went around in circles.
"It's so beautiful, it feels a little better than Sister Evetina." She said a name accidentally, and then helped Lorrain Hill tidy up her hair a little.
"If you wear a pearl pendant, it will be even better." Lottie looked at the girl's empty earlobe, always wanting to hang something on it.
"I don't want that. I don't want to make a hole in my ear." Lorraine Hill shook his head and refused.
"Is that so? It's like some classical aristocratic tradition." Lottie stood behind the girl, guessing Messia's identity in her mind.
"Sister Messia really just grew up alone in the forest village? It doesn't always feel like it." Lottie felt that as the daughter of the Duke, in some aspects, she couldn't do Lorance. You are so flawless, whether it is etiquette, knowledge, sword skills, and insights, they are much higher.
Maybe it's also because she's underage, and many places are not mature and powerful enough. If a few brothers are still there, she must introduce Miss Messia to them.
Unfortunately, she is the only one left now, even the sister Evetina, whom she admired most in the past, is no longer there.
Swinging her head and not thinking about it for now, Lottie asked about Lorrain Hill's purpose in dressing up tonight.
"Are you going to attend a banquet?"
Lorty thought about things that she was not interested in in the past. Among her brothers and sisters, she was the youngest and did not even attend a few banquets, so that many people outside the family did not know her existence, which is why later The reason why she could escape in the chaos of war.
"Sister Messia rarely came to the empire before. Would you like me to tell you some imperial court etiquette." Lottie thought that she had these effects.
"Need it, thank Lottie." The girl nodded. She had learned a little elves etiquette from Athesi before, but she really didn't know much about the imperial court.
"Then I'll just talk about it. In fact, many of them were taught by the maid at home in the past, and later my sisters helped to correct some." Lottie finished speaking, and then demonstrated one by one in front of the girl.
There are steps, manners, greetings, how to respond, refusals, diet-related details, etc. Originally, Lorraine Hill thought it would not be too long, but Lottie spoke for more than an hour at once before it could be over.
"I don’t know how much Sister Messia remembers. In fact, I don’t care too much about some of the small details. Many nobles don’t do it well." After finishing speaking, Lottie realized that he had said too much and too complicated. It is estimated that others can't remember it at all.
"Well, I probably understand." For Lorrain Hill, it was basically memorable just by showing it.
"Really?"
"It should be possible." Lorrain Hill said, standing up to demonstrate.
Looking at the perfect eldest lady in the red and black dress, Lottie was in a trance, as if thinking of the familiar figure again.
Sister Evitina.
"How about it, any questions?" Lorrain Hill asked after it was over.
"No, Sister Messia is very strong." Lottie nodded.
The two talked for a while, and then it was getting dark.
"I'm here, is Messia ready?" Miss Charlene put on a green dress and knocked gently on the door.
"Okay." Then the door opened, and Miss Charlene showed the same expression as Lottie.
"I understand, why don't you need me to prepare clothes." After a long time, Miss Charlene woke up from the shock.
"It seems that tonight's banquet will not be deserted. I don't know how many young talents will be fascinated by Messia."
After finishing speaking, she took Messia's hand and walked downstairs. In the surprised and stunned eyes of the members, the two gradually boarded the carriage, thinking about the castle in the night slowly driving away.
Compared with the cold gray rock castle during the day, the night is decorated with orange and yellow lights, and this castle is much softer.
The large and small carriage parked in the open space in the castle, and the guests entered the hall under the reading of the servants, and then joined the banquet played by the music.
Viscount Mo Ruo is not a great nobleman, but the band in his family is rare among the nearby aristocrats. This is probably inseparable from Viscount Mo Ruo's personal preference for music.
"Miss Charlene, Miss Messia here~" When the two men's carriage stopped in front of the castle, several familiar waiters shouted loudly.
The first to get out of the carriage was Miss Charlene, and then an unseen figure slowly got out of the carriage.
The skin is extremely white in the dark night, a pair of eyes that are as clear as the sky, and the strapless dress with red and black as the main color, a strange and beautiful young lady is standing in front of the castle gate.
"This...Excuse me...you..." For a while, the old-speaking waiter was also a little nervous.
Fortunately, Miss Charlene had anticipated this situation and introduced it in front of them. "This is Miss Messia, don't you know each other?"
Messia and Charlene have been to the castle before, and they have spent a long time on the benches in the castle. Many people are very impressed by this young swordsman girl.
"Is this Miss Messia?" They were in an uproar, then looked carefully, and then bowed their heads deeply. After all, it is quite rude to look at the noble lady in this way.
After hearing a sound outside, the butler walked out of the castle. He first said hello to Miss Charlene before he recognized Lorrain Hill standing aside.
"It seems that I was negligent before I waited, Miss Messia, please come in." The butler has served the Moruo family for decades, and it is natural to see at a glance that Messia's manners and temperament are noble, not ordinary people.
But in this case, the previous plan will be revised. Recalling the command of the Lord Viscount before, the housekeeper felt troubled again.
After entering the venue, the girl felt a burst of gaze. Although it was a little strange, it was fortunate that she had another identity as cover. She is not Lorrain Hill now, but she has adapted quite a lot, unlike the past. Nervous and shy.
Ms. Charlene and simply looked for a place to sit down, and after a while, other guests gradually entered the venue.
"Master Difeng is here~" This is a famous businessman in the city.
"Baron Crow is here~" A baron not far away was also invited over. He was wearing a black dress and was about 40 years old.
"Pastor Hu Song is here~" An old man in a white robe walked slowly. He was the priest in the church in the city and the only person in the nearby area who reached the rank of Angel 4. He was very respected by the nobles and adventurers.
"Mr. Yan Liuyan is here~"
A Lorraine Hill unexpectedly walked in. He was wearing an oriental loose robe, with a sheathed long knife slung around his waist, and the hair behind him was scattered like a dark red flame on his shoulders. This is exactly the classmate Lorrain Hill once met in Emenas. He was Osuna's subordinate before, and later he sobered up and joined Lorrain Hill's club.
I am good at special fire sword technique, maverick and unruly among the students, which is very different from other oriental students.
Has he never returned to the East? Looking at the familiar face, the burning magic power on the body, and the rhythmic breathing and pace, Lorrain Hill quickly determined that this is the'Huiluyan Blade' Yan Liuyan that Emenas knew in the past. .
Now he has a mature face compared to the past, and he scans around casually, then fixes his gaze on Lorrain Hill, and strode towards the girl in the black and red dress~IndoMTL. com~ This is Miss Messia, I have heard your name for a long time, are you interested in having a fight with me? "
After talking about the cracked smile on the scumbag chin, it was obviously an excessive request, but he said it was a matter of course, truthful and bold, and hard to blame.
"I don't think so, I am not your opponent."
Lorraine Hill now shows only Sequence 5, so naturally he will not agree to single-handedly challenge Yan Liuyan in Sequence 6.
"That's really a shame. A beautiful woman like you, if you use a weapon, should be very beautiful." Yan Liuyan shook his head regretfully.
In this case, Lorraine Hill has heard it many times when he was in school. After joining the club, this guy always used various reasons to find someone to compete. The Ling and the Sen spirit Atati of the Wing Clan were urged by him, but he didn't expect that he hadn't made much progress over the years. Or, if you eat it all over the sky with one trick, you won't change it.
Seeing that the girl didn't move at all, Yan Liuyan shook his head with a regretful look, then found a place to sit down and drank a lot of wine, not caring about the image.
At this time, there was another noise at the door, and then several officers entered the banquet. They were still wearing military uniforms, as if they were more glorious and elegant than dresses.
After they entered the arena, Viscount Moruo finally walked downstairs under the shouts of the servants.
"Master Moruo is here."
"Welcome everyone, come to my castle." This local nobleman holds a small scepter, wears a dark red and white dress, smiles and salutes everyone, just like an elegant and kind gentleman.
From here, the hall entered a lively part, and in some remote corners of the castle, the sound of footsteps of some armor collisions gradually sounded, and the original door slowly closed.
