The Emerald Tower

To gain a foothold in the upper class, the most important thing is reputation.

A very good reputation is the passport to the upper class.

Therefore, no matter whether the nobles are kind and benevolent or vicious, they always pay attention to superficial articles, just like the Baron Tyre. For a moon celebration, they spend half a year of budget to gain a touch of face for themselves. '; Therefore, at a banquet like the Marquis of Vauban, the participants are more cautious.

After all, in addition to the Marquis of Vauban himself, there are also big figures from other counties in the northern four counties. If he or she is embarrassed, his or her reputation will inevitably spread throughout the four northern counties in the shortest possible time and become people’s favorite Talk about capital, laughing stock.

Therefore, at this time, the young lady of the Baron Tyre could already predict how she would be treated.

Sneer, ridicule, and mean evaluation!

Moreover, not only herself, but even her father, will be blamed in this way.

I thought of the scene when my father faced these censures.

The young lady from the baron's house hated her to die now.

Because she knew very well how much life would be worse than death in the face of these fathers.

The body is still leaning forward uncontrollably, and the despair in my heart grows stronger. Obviously, if you fall here, the baron’s lady will do something unexpected, but reasonable. Among the things to come.

Undoubtedly, at the age of Miss Baron’s house, she has not yet understood the value of life.

And just when she was about to make a certain decision, her leaning body suddenly stopped--

Not really. Own stop.

But a strong palm. Supported her fore arm.

Dee, Dean? !

The young lady of the baron was shocked. Looking at Dean, who appeared in front of him for some unknown time and held his arm, and then, before the baron’s lady recovered, Dean’s palm had already moved down and took the palm of the baron’s lady. And, bending over to salute: "Miss Lily. Can I have the honor to dance the first dance with you?"

The voice was clear and clear, and the guests from the surrounding inner court heard clearly.

Even more concealed Dean's extremely low voice--

"reject me!"

Dean's voice can only be heard clearly by the young lady of Baron Tyre.

And the Baroness Miss, who was originally grateful and even had an inexplicable emotion, was ready to open her mouth to agree to Dean's request, but Dean's words afterwards made the Baronie Tyre stunned.

"Faster!"

Dean urged.

Several highly oppressive sights in the inner court have appeared again. Obviously, he has no chance to remind the baron's lady in front of him again.

After all, the sight that makes Dean feel oppressive is not only brought about by rights and status, but also by strength.

Fortunately. The baron’s lady did as he ordered--

"I'm a little tired, I just want to take a break!"

The young lady of the baron kept her face straight. Said coldly.

"That, that, what a pity..."

With a sense of helplessness after being rejected, Dean shrugged and once again stood behind the baron’s lady without a trace.

From the beginning to the end, Dean behaved like a young man who admired him, couldn't wait, and then was rejected - no different from those young people who had a new relationship at the banquet.

For this reason, some of the men in the inner court who had such experience cast sympathetic glances at Dean, and many men with deep feelings raised their glasses to Dean not to be discouraged.

The young lady of Baron Tyre attracted more attention.

In aristocratic banquets, girls and ladies with rivals will always be surrounded by butterflies. This is an unchanging truth-as if a male antelope will fight for a female antelope.

In the aristocratic circle, roughly the same.

However, the baron’s lady who had just experienced Dean’s “rejection” did not have such a mood, even a perfunctory mood. After entering the inner court, she directly rejected no fewer than five with a cold face. After thinking of men who were far better than Dean, this made the men a little quieter.

However, the eyes that looked at the baron's lady became more and more hot.

What is not available is always the best.

This also seems to be a truth.

At this time, Dean was already in the corner of the banquet-in the most inconspicuous corner, holding two pieces of pastry at random to fill his stomach.

In Dean's opinion, the banquet in front of him is far less important than filling his stomach.

"The banquet hasn't started yet, Head Dean Ken is a little anxious!"

A voice came from Dean's side.

"A little man like me, no one will pay attention-you say, right, Lord Marquis?"

Dean, who had already heard the footsteps, said without raising his head.

In this inner court, the only one who can be called a marquis is naturally the owner here, the Marquis of Vauban.

"Smart young man!"

Said the Marquis of Vauban.

In fact, before the young lady from the Baron Tyre’s house was about to fall, Dean suddenly appeared and after clearing the siege without a trace, the Marquis of Vauban and several caring people kept their eyes on Dean—obviously, To the Marquis of Vauban and those interested people, Dean was far more attractive than the baron’s lady.

At least, it is worth noting.

For young people who can pay attention, the Marquis of Vauban will never be stingy with his praise.

"You are also very wise-at least, I can't think of using such a way to'spur' the lords of your subordinates!"

Dean was eating the pastry while speaking vaguely, unable to tell whether it was flattery or sarcasm.

In fact, when Dean found out that the inner court was full of guests, he had already guessed what the Marquis of Vauban wanted to do-it was nothing more than a good knock on the lords of his subordinates when he held a private auction.

Let them be in full view first. Nervous. It's better to be a little embarrassing. Then, he came forward to resolve the tension and even shame of these subordinate lords.

Then, it is to gain more loyalty and praise from the lords.

This kind of thing is no stranger to Dean-he hasn't experienced it, but he has seen it many times.

After all, following behind the grand duke. I don’t know how many banquets Dean attended.

And almost, once in three or four times, such a bridge will appear.

Of course, at that time, the Grand Duke and him were both the one who gave pressure.

Therefore, Dean was not surprised at all that the Marquis of Vauban would use such a method.

Even, it was because the other party used such a method that Dean chose to help the baron's lady-even though he was in the same camp, Dean could not really embarrass the baron's lady.

but. The presence of the Marquis of Vauban is also the real reason Dean chose to shoot.

after all. As a captain of his bodyguard, it would be too difficult to get close to the Marquis of Vauban, unless the other party took the initiative to find him.

Fortunately, Dean, who was familiar with the other's character, knew what to do.

Just like this moment--

"Young man, you are smarter than I thought!"

When the Marquis of Vauban heard Dean's words, he glanced at Dean in surprise. It was obvious that he did not expect Dean to see through his intentions.

Although such a method, in the eyes of each lord, it is easy to understand.

But for a young man, it is definitely not possible to understand by looking at it.

Unless, someone told him, or he has experienced too much...

The first possibility was easily eliminated by the Marquis of Vauban.

After all, he didn't believe that his arrangements today would be leaked to Dean, because only a few people knew about the arrangements for this banquet, and the loyalty of those people had been verified countless times.

So, there is only the second one left!

After thinking of the second possibility, the Marquis of Vauban couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him-a straight body, even standing there, eating cakes with his head down, reminded of a javelin; considered handsome His appearance is more of a cold feeling, which makes his originally immature face appear very mature, making people unconsciously ignore his original age.

If it were not for the fluff on the lips, no one would think that this was a young man.

On the contrary, it should be a knight who has experienced many battles.

Especially those eyes are really fresh in the memory. They seem indifferent, but they are not angry. Anyone who looks at them will feel the pressure.

For such eyes, the Marquis of Vauban was very familiar.

Those lords who are in power and generals who command thousands of troops all have such eyes.

And the young people in front of them are definitely not these.

It could only be the cultivation of the family. After contacting the news about the strength of this young man, the Marquis of Vauban affirmed his guess more and more.

"Dean Ken... Ken, is your mother's surname, but what about your father's?"

Asked the Marquis of Vauban with interest.

"Until the glory of the ancestors is restored, I will not say or inherit that surname!"

Dean, who had already prepared, said so.

"really!"

Hearing Dean’s words, the Marquis of Vauban showed an expression like that. After all, a family like Dean was broken and struggling to get the family back, the Marquis of Vauban was in his life. Have seen too many; some of them succeeded, while others lived their lives in obscurity.

But no matter what, they are working hard.

For such a hard worker, the Marquis of Vauban had no ill feelings.

"If you need anything, you can come to me! Or, when you're'Knight Baptism', we can have a good chat. After all,'Knight Baptism' is very important, especially for young people like you. Say, even more so!"

Leaving such a sentence, the Marquis of Vauban walked towards the center of the inner court, and Dean watched the other side silently. Of course, Dean would not naively regard this as an unbreakable promise, even though the Marquis of Vauban said such words. , But this kind of discourse is limited to the simple and handy help category.

As for exceeding?

That definitely requires an equal price.

The reality of the nobility far exceeds that of ordinary people.

But what is so important about this?

Dean achieved at least the original goal-to get to know the Marquis of Vauban.

And this is one of Dean's biggest goals.

After all, only by getting to know the Marquis of Vauban can he have a chance to meet his teacher, the grand duke; and also have a chance to reverse the defeated war.

And ‘knight baptism’?

Dean naturally has his own arrangements, but it is definitely not done in this banquet hall, he needs to go to the places he is most familiar with.

Ding, Ding...

The old man who looked like a housekeeper~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was tapping his cup.

"The most loyal servant of the Emerald Kingdom, the most respected lord of Vauban..."

During the lengthy opening speech, the banquet began.

But Dean standing in the corner, his thoughts had already flown elsewhere.

You know, when he came to Vauban, he didn't come to participate in this private auction.

However, fortunately, the private auction will be tomorrow, and tonight is just the opening of a simple banquet, which will not last long.
