The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

Although he refused in his heart, Sigmund subconsciously took the right hand that Charlotte handed over, and crossed his fingers. He found that Charlotte's hand was very cold and trembling slightly when he clenched it tightly.

At this time, in the middle of the dance floor, Prince Philip stood there alone, with an embarrassed and embarrassing expression on his face. As the owner of the manor and the host of the whole banquet, he was caught by the crowd when he was about to dance the first dance at the beginning People refused in public.

"Prince Philip, let us all applaud Princess Charlotte." A fat man came out from the crowd, and Sigmund turned his head to see Thomas standing behind the man.

This may be Thomas' father, the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

"Prince Philip, if I remember correctly, this should be the first time Princess Charlotte has danced with a man other than you since the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. It seems that our pearl of Elland has finally been found." Your home, even if it is only temporary, is worthy of congratulations, isn't it?"

The Minister of Finance stood beside Prince Philip and said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, friendly laughter rang out from the crowd at the right time, and everyone looked enviously at the two figures standing under the light.

The expression on Prince Philip's face was a little slow. Although he was still a little embarrassed, it was much better than being left on the spot just now. He took a deep breath and quickly squeezed out a smile.

"Yes, it's something to be happy about."

"In this case, let's start the first dance with Princess Charlotte." The Minister of Finance suggested.

The music sounded, the men and women onlookers applauded and cheered, and the lights shone on Sigmund and Charlotte.

Charlotte, as the older sister of Prince Philip, has a distinguished status. From the perspective of the royal family, she can barely be regarded as half the owner of the manor. It is not proper for her to dance the first dance, but it is better than letting Prince Philip continue. Much better to stand still.

Because next, no matter if the prince invites him personally or a noble lady takes the initiative, Prince Philip's first dance will become extremely awkward in the face of the obvious rejection and ignorance just now.

But the finance minister took the initiative to stand up and change the subject, which was relatively reasonable to resolve the embarrassment for Philip. The poor prince glanced at the finance minister gratefully, and retreated voluntarily after the music started.

"This old fox." Yvonne murmured in a low voice. She and Norius had anticipated the situation before them, but before the banquet started, they still encouraged Prince Philip to invite Charlotte to the first dance.

The purpose is to intensify the conflict between Philip and Charlotte on this official occasion. With the clever and strong sister, the stupid and arrogant brother, and the title of Son of the Holy Spirit, the situation in Abetus will change within the next day. Get confused.

But it is a pity that although Charlotte rejected Philip, the Minister of Finance also temporarily resolved the embarrassment at the ball. A conflict failed to happen, and Bishop Yvonne was somewhat disappointed.

"Continue to fight for the Scarlid family. If this old fox is still unwilling to make a choice, then we will start with his successor." Bishop Norius communicated with Yvonne silently.

At this time, the lights converged, and Sigmund wrapped his arms around Charlotte's waist. Their bodies were so close that they could feel each other's breath with every breath.

"Don't get so close to me..." Charlotte whispered.

"Don't be nervous, just treat me as a tool man." Sigmund looked down at Charlotte. It was the first time he looked at Charlotte carefully at such a close distance, and he had to admit that no matter whether it was facial features or With her temperament, Charlotte is worthy of her title of Pearl of Elland.

"We were all fooled by that guy!" Being stared at by Sigmund, Charlotte looked away in a panic, until she heard this sentence, she turned her gaze back to Sigmund's face with a little surprise superior.

"That rascal?"

"Drexel." Sigmund curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "Are you also tricked by him? Did you receive a note just now?"

"He told me to attend this banquet because he had an important task to perform, but the note he sent to me contained only one sentence."

"Go dance!"

Charlotte didn't make a sound, and lowered her head quietly. At this moment, she seemed to have lifted the burden from her shoulders, and devoted herself to this special dance.

Because this sentence was also told to her by Duke Dressel himself before leaving, "Since you already know the result, don't think too much, go dance."

Charlotte understands that her teacher is providing herself with an additional choice. All the princes of Elan have voted for the Oracle Church, and the teacher is really calm.

After a dance ended, there was applause. With the end of the two, the ball gradually became lively. Being able to dance the first opening dance with the princess of the kingdom, Sigmund instantly aroused discussions among the noble youths in the audience.

But this time, no enthusiastic noble lady came to strike up a conversation. At the same time, Prince Philip, who was watching by the dance floor with a glass of wine, was smiling, but his eyes were gloomy.

The livelier the surrounding environment, the happier the men and women on the dance floor, the hotter the anger in his heart, especially the man standing beside Charlotte...

Henrik.

Prince Philip glared at Sigmund, and he was associated with his identity by what the other party did tonight┄The executive director of the investigation bureau, the confidant of Duke Dressel.

"Your Highness, our princess has an unusual relationship with that Henry. Do you know the real background of Henry?" Yvonne, who was standing beside him, suddenly asked.

"Princess Charlotte has been excellent since she was a child. None of the young people of the same age in the kingdom can be favored. This seems to be the first time that she has danced with a man on a formal occasion. Could it be that this Henrik is suitable for Charlotte? The standard of a princess?"

"Standard?" Prince Philip frowned, and he quickly remembered the bold words his sister made when he was 16 years old.

Completely eliminate the influence of the Oracle Church in the Kingdom of Elam.

In the past, he might have taken it as a joke, but now, Philip believes that if he wants to completely control the country and get rid of Duke Dressel's invisible influence on the country, then the church is the biggest help for him.

If anyone wants to fight the church, it is against him!

After thinking about this, the man's face became more and more hateful in his eyes.

And at this moment, Philip noticed that the man named Henrik looked down at something with a puzzled expression after taking the wine glass handed over by a maid.

Moments later, the man drank his glass and left Charlotte, walking somewhere on the fringes of the party.

Beside the stone pillar, Montana changed into a white dress and stood there quietly like a blooming lily.

"What is this scoundrel going to do?!" Prince Philip's eyes widened, he took a quick breath, and clenched his fists.

Afterwards, he saw the man bow and salute, and then gestured to Montana to invite him to dance.

"Damn it!" The suppressed emotions of the whole night spewed out, and he handed the wine glass to a passing waiter. Philip strode forward, determined to stop that nasty man.

Give him an unforgettable lesson.
