When Charles stepped into the banquet hall, he was full of ambition.

When everyone looked at him in surprise, he was full of confidence.

However, when the banquet hall fell into a long silence, he felt something strange.

Tonight's outfit was specially prepared by him for a long time.

He had even prepared an impassioned speech, waiting for someone to ask him: "Dear Lord Marquis, why did you come to the banquet wearing armor?"

but!

Why hasn't anyone asked?

Marquis Charles was deeply disappointed.

These people are too stupid to even send him a message.

So, he coughed a few times and prepared to ask and answer himself:

"You must be curious, why don't I wear a dress?

Because I have no shame to wear it! "

Marquis Charles took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

When I opened it again, my eyes were filled with tears!

“The troll army has retreated, but are we really victorious?

You all should ask yourselves..."

When Marquis Charles said this, he glanced at the entire audience with a heartbroken look.

But somewhere along the way, he suddenly got stuck.

Because, at a glance, he saw the maverick figure in the crowd - Colin.

Then, his whole body became bad...

Colin also saw Marquis Charles at this time.

Then, his whole body was not well...

I wore armor to attend the banquet because I was forced to do nothing by that crazy woman. What kind of show are you doing?

The entire banquet hall was silent.

Ten seconds passed.

Twenty seconds passed.

Thirty seconds passed...

"Knight Colin!"

Finally, Marquis Charles roared with deep affection, breaking the uncomfortable and awkward silence.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

I saw him walking a few steps quickly and arriving in front of Colin.

Facing Marquis Charles, who was wearing a "couple's outfit" with him, Colin instinctively panicked.

He subconsciously drew his hands back.

But, alas.

Still, he was caught by Marquis Charles with quick eyes and hands!

"Knight Colin!" Marquis Charles held Colin's hands tightly, "I knew that there were always people in the north who were like me, unwilling to indulge in false victories, but dared to pick up weapons, put on armor, and fight with A warrior who fights the trolls to the death!"

Colin resisted the urge to withdraw his hands, quickly adjusted the expression on his face, and put on an impassioned look.

I, who should cooperate with you in your performance, can only do my best.

But compared to the actor-level acting ability of Charles Marquis, Colin is still a little ashamed of himself.

For example, the other party's exquisite control of tears welling up in his eyes but holding back the tears, Colin asked himself that he couldn't do it.

"Your Majesty the Marquis!" Colin's tone gradually choked up, "If I don't avenge my father, I will never take off my armor! Please Your Majesty the Marquis, regroup the army and lead us to counterattack the Sky Ice Field!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you down!"

The two movie stars looked at each other affectionately, full of love.

"But you've failed us."

A dull voice came from the hall door.

It wasn't loud, but it silenced the entire hall.

Moreover, this man's words revealed his disdain for Marquis Charles, but no one present dared to refute it.

Even Marquis Charles himself, although a carefully prepared performance was abruptly interrupted, only looked embarrassed and guilty when he heard this.

At the same time, the crowd immediately parted to both sides, leaving a spacious passage for those at the door.

Marquis Garcia appeared at the door.

Behind him, there was Vera dressed up.

The two "armored men" finally stopped looking at each other affectionately, turned around, and bowed to pay tribute to the two people who walked into the hall at this time.

Marquis Garcia was wearing a dark blue dress today, with a stern expression on his face. He walked quickly through the crowd and did not stop when he passed Colin and Marquis Charles.

Didn't even look at either of them.

He seemed to be a little unfazed by the farce the two of them had caused.

As the person with the highest status in today's banquet, Marquis Garcia's attitude is very important.

Seeing that he ignored the two "armored men", all the nobles attending the meeting breathed a sigh of relief.

However, although Marquis Garcia is the well-deserved focus today, the real focus at the venue now is someone else.

At least, all the men present had their eyes fixed on the slender figure behind Marquis Garcia.

Colin is certainly no exception.

Vera is breathtakingly beautiful tonight.

She wore a pure white dress with slits, her dazzling golden hair fell on her smooth shoulders, her blue eyes were as pure as the sea, and her height of 1.7 meters was in excellent proportions, allowing the close-fitting dress to highlight her Every undulation of her body was revealed, woven into addictive curves.

What made the male nobles at the banquet even more difficult to control themselves was that Vera had an almost perfect and delicate appearance.

Moreover, the mystery of the mage, the dignity and elegance of the nobles, and the gentleness of the young girl were perfectly integrated in her, exuding a fatal attraction.

"who is she?"

Many male nobles have begun to whisper about Vera's identity.

This Duke's adopted daughter is indeed quite mysterious. Colin could not find any information about her from the memory of her predecessor, as if Duke St. Hilde was deliberately concealing her existence.

However, Marquis Garcia seems to be officially introducing this beauty to the North today.

"Before the banquet begins, please allow me to introduce this beautiful lady beside me."

Marquis Garcia led Vera to the high platform in the front row of the hall and introduced:

"Vera Saint Hilde, the adopted daughter of Duke Saint Hilde!"

"Wow——"

Upon hearing Vera's true identity, the eyes of the male nobles in the audience became even more intense.

There was only one thought left in their minds - marry her!

You always have to have dreams, otherwise what’s the difference between them and salted fish?

Marquis Garcia seemed to have read everyone's thoughts, so he stopped delaying and immediately picked up a tall wine glass and loudly said: "Tonight's banquet has officially begun! Everyone, enjoy it to the fullest!"

"Praise to the Marquis!"

…

As soon as Marquis Garcia finished speaking, beautiful music began to play.

The banquet officially started.

As expected, Miss Vera was immediately surrounded by many male nobles of the right age.

Regardless of their status, almost all unmarried men present wanted to try to see if they had a chance to hold a beautiful woman in their arms.

After all, a woman like Vera, whose appearance and status can be regarded as an instant choice, is the best marriage partner.

As for whether it counts as a high-achieving thing or not, we have to try it first before deciding.

Vera skillfully dealt with the nobles who came to chat with them, as if such a scene was nothing to her.

Her every move revealed the magnanimity of a duke's daughter, politely but firmly rejecting waves of men.

"Aren't you going to try?" Marquis Charles touched Colin next to him with his elbow.

"Go ahead." Colin looked like an old god, "But you have to give others a chance to try first."

Marquis Charles heard the strong confidence contained in Colin's words, and suddenly looked sideways:

"Hey! Don't blame me for not reminding you. There are many young men at today's banquet who are above you in terms of status and appearance!"

Colin shrugged, ignored Charles's warning, and instead picked up a glass of champagne from the passing waiter's tray and tasted it carefully.

When Marquis Charles saw this, he immediately rolled his eyes and felt that he had really worried for nothing.

At this time, many men and women were dancing in pairs in the center of the banquet hall.

But Vera has not accepted any invitation from any man.

Finally, after all the bees, bees and butterflies surrounding her had returned in despair, Colin put down his wine glass and walked towards Vera.

"Beautiful and distinguished lady, may I have the honor to invite you to dance with me?" Colin bowed slightly and extended his right hand to Vera.

A faint blush appeared on Vera's face, and she obediently placed her right hand in Colin's hand:

"good."
