She Is Not a Witch Chapter 44: Banquet duel
"Get out of the way, Fenbul. I think your behavior bothers this eldest lady."
Just as Lorrain Hill was hesitating how to refuse, a slightly taller, sturdy young man walked over and looked at the uniform and badge on his body. This seemed to be a newly promoted military nobleman.
"Sorry, excuse me. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jihassen, a member of the Salamander Hussars." His voice was particularly rough and loud among the surrounding nobles.
"It's a great honor to know Miss Lacey. The moment you entered the hall, I was conquered by your beauty. Please allow me to be your most loyal suitor." He ignored the gameplay among the nobles in the past, Announce your love thoughts directly.
This way of playing straight ball calmed down these melancholic aristocratic youths just now, making them feel a little confused for a while.
Hearing such a frank declaration of pursuit, Lorrain Hill was also somewhat inexperienced and hesitated for several seconds.
"This..... Suddenly, I have no idea of love or marriage yet."
"I understand that being like you is like moonlight, you really have to choose carefully. But this does not hinder my passionate love, he will be here sincerely and patiently waiting until the moment you lean over and look at each other ."
Originally, some pleasing behaviors in pursuit of the opposite **** are easy to be despised, but when he speaks so upright and honestly, he becomes tall and powerful instead.
"Jihasen, you!" The first few aristocratic youths who came to the side were a little angry at this scene.
Young people are the age who cares most about face, but they are taken away from the limelight in this kind of scene. Isn't this slap them in the face in person? If you don't get it back today, I'm afraid tomorrow will become a joke in the aristocratic circle.
"How can you be like this.... I don't know how to do this. You are embarrassed and embarrassed by Miss Lacey. You are so rude." Their faces flushed, and they said something awkward. Rebuke.
"Oh, what’s wrong with my heart? I didn’t force others, and I didn’t do any tricks. What’s wrong with being honest and generous? I think your hypocritical style is strange, like everyone I have to go around you and take care of you. Are you unweaned babies?"
"Hey~" After saying this, many noble ladies laughed around.
This time, these aristocrats of artistic youth can no longer bear it. They pointed their fingers at the aristocratic officer with strong physique, and said all kinds of rebuttal and derogatory remarks. What aristocratic elegance, gradual progress, pure spirit intertwined, etc., Jihasen is an extremely rude person, and can't understand it at all.
Although these words are logical, they are not very lethal. In the eyes of the Gherson, they are no different from the noisy duck. He also shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care and didn't understand, which made the behavior of these people even more ridiculous.
Stab it----
The sound of drawing a sword suddenly sounded, and then a man poured the wine in his hand on Jihasen, which was a way of expressing a duel among the nobles.
"Well...Are you going to fight me?" Jihasen wiped off the wet drink on his body with his hand, and looked at the opposite side with disdain.
"Of course, I bet on my reputation and fight you. If you lose, you have to get away from Miss Lacey." The young man greeted Lorrain Hill and invited the young dancer to hold the sword in both hands. Jihasen made his declaration.
"This... please calm down, everyone." Lorraine only wanted to cover his forehead at this time, and the situation became like this for a short while. If this matter spreads to the outside world, it seems like she is provoking a duel between the two sides, how could they draw their swords so easily.
"Sorry for disturbing Miss Lacey, but this time I forgive me for going against your will, because I need to maintain my qualifications to pursue you. This is also a matter of my dignity and glory." Lanhill stooped to salute again and said a few words before turning to look at the melancholic aristocratic youths.
Seeing that Jihasen brushed up his opinion and personality in front of Lorrain Hill again, the lungs of the people on the opposite side were about to explode, how could he be so shameless. But at this moment, the beautiful woman is in front, once you lose the demeanor, everything is meaningless. They had to act quickly, ready to use a duel to shut up the mad guy.
"It's so beautiful to be young." Earl Howard took a sip from his glass and sighed slightly.
"Aren't you stopping them?" Lorrain Hill asked slightly puzzled.
"Of course not, because this is the power of aristocrats, who can initiate a duel against those who challenge their reputation and glory." Howard explained.
"If I were ten years younger, I think I would also draw the sword for a beautiful lady like you. This is the romance of life." He expressed his admiration and love for this girl in a joking tone. .
"Your Excellency praised it." Lorrain Hill had no choice but to give up.
Soon, the middle of the dance floor was cleared out to free up a space, and the guests gathered around excitedly, looking at the two people prepared in the middle.
"I didn't expect to see such a play today. I haven't seen a duel for months."
"Isn't it because of the blockade and clearance, hey, forget it, don't mention these sad things."
"Who do you think will win?"
"I think it is Viscount Jihassen, he is a nobleman of military merit, and currently the deputy commander of the Salamander Hussar regiment. The strength of his family has been tested step by step on the battlefield."
"But Fenbur is not bad, now he has the strength of Sequence 5. Looking at a group of companions around him, helping him with the heirloom, under the blessing of luxurious equipment, he may not lose to Jihasen."
"No matter how good the equipment is, it depends on people's use. I still think Ghassen has a big win."
"Should we bet something?"
"How about the three bottles of wine at Zixun Manor."
"Yes, the total price is 100 gold coins, which is not too much."
Amidst other people's discussions, the two in the middle also finished preparations one after another, and each drew out their swords and stood far apart.
At first, Lorraine Hill was a little apologetic, feeling that her actions caused this duel to happen intentionally or unintentionally, but after several attempts to dissuade her to no avail, she also gave up this idea and focused on Observe the various opinions and ideas in the banquet.
If the nobles are so obsessed with pleasure and beauty, then this country is not far from decline.
Lorraine Hill extends his perception, receiving and analyzing more information, looking for valuable parts from it.
"These hillbillies are too rampant.....Hmph, that majesty is gone, and he jumped like this. I really thought we couldn't beat it." Some corner~IndoMTL.com~the subtle voices were noisy. Into Lorrain Hill's ears.
"Before it was to win over and resolve domestic commotions. Now there is no such thing as a second western expedition. I think their good days are over. Sooner or later, the four princes will clean up these people and wait. Right."
"The glory of the empire always belongs to us, and it is the hard work of our generations to support this huge country. Those people just survived by fluke, so why sit on our heads..."
This small voice circulated among several luxuriously dressed nobles, and the coat of arms on their collars all belonged to the old families in the empire.
Is this the difference and opposition between the old and the new aristocracy? Lorrain Hill lowered his head slightly, analyzing the conversations of several people in his mind, and slowly concluding their identities.
Finally, according to the noisy words of these nobles, the voice of the whole hall was slowly divided into two parties. On one side belonged to the descendants of the original great nobles of the empire, and the other was small nobles or civilians who depended mostly on military merits.
After the emperor passed away, there was no one to reconcile and balance the two sides, and the cracks began to widen and slowly revealed.
"Then, the duel begins!"
